Chapter 22Ashley Gustavo POVMy heart pounded so hard in my chest. It was pumping so hard that for a moment, I thought it was going to explode. "Ashley, you are not married to him because you love him. You are together to get your revenge. Don't do something you'd end up regretting," I reminded myself, giving myself every damn reason to stop this right away, but the more I tried to resist him, the more I became so invested in the kiss. His lips were the sweetest thing I've ever tasted, and damn! No man had ever kissed me the way he did. Fuck! I've never been with any other man aside from Ace, so apparently, he was a better kisser than Ace.I subconsciously wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for more. I didn't care if I ended up regretting it, but this felt so good that I didn't want it to stop. Not anytime soon.I felt a spark all through my body as he explored my body with his hands, but I kept yearning for more. I sank my fingers into his soft wavy hair, pulling him

Chapter 24Asher drove into his company and pulled over at the parking lot. He stepped out of the car and brought out his phone from his pocket. "Should I call her?" He mumbled as he clicked on the 'call log' displaying a few numbers, of which Ashley's number was one of them. "Why should I call her? There is no reason to," Asher told himself and held his phone firmly, but he was worried if she got to the office safely."There is no crime in calling her. I should know if she got to work safely," He muttered and finally dialed the number. The call rang for a few minutes before she finally answered it."Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Don't you think you should answer your husband's call as soon as you see it?" He rolled his eyes as he rested his back on his car and stared into space."I got busy as soon as I arrived at the hospital. I had no idea my phone was ringing. Why are you calling though?" Her sweet voice sounded from the other end, and Asher's cheeks flushed as h

Chapter 26"It's really for me?" Asher smiled subconsciously, feeling a sense of pride. He was always questioning his attitude toward her, why he was this nice to her, he knew that it was not what he was painting it to be, this was not him just being a nice person, but fuck! Seeing the excitement on her face, he couldn't be more than happy that he did this."Hmm. Do you like it?" He asked, and Ashley scoffed as her mouth fell agape."I love it... Thank you so much... Thank you so much," She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly as though her life depended on it. What did she do to deserve this kind of treatment from him? She asked herself, but could not come up with anything, so she just assumed that she was just lucky or maybe he wanted something from her, but on second thought, she knew that it couldn't be the latter."If you are grateful, why don't you treat me to dinner, hmm?" He raised his eyebrows as he tucked his hands inside his pockets, and she quickly nodded h

Chapter 28Ashley Gustavo POVMy heart raced uncontrollably as he held me in his arms. I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted him, my heart was calling out for him, and my pussy was craving him. Am I in love with him? I asked myself for a moment, as I stared into his sexy eyes as if the answer to my desperate question was written in them, but all I saw was his desire.It felt like it was taking forever as he slowly leaned close and claimed my lips. He kissed me briefly, and just when I wanted him to do more to me because I was already losing my mind, he pulled away and stared into my eyes."I'm proud of you, Ashley," His voice came out hoarsely, and my heart once again flustered. I felt nothing but joy. I was glad that I impressed him even though it didn't make any sense because I didn't have any reason to."Every good action deserves a reward... Do you want yours?" He took his right hand to my cheek and rubbed it gently, his eyes never leaving mine. All the answers I needed were alre

'There is no need to do that, Alexa. It's not worth it' she had told herself earlier and just left the place without Xavier noticing her.Alexa lies on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She had been inside her room for hours, yet wasn't planning to leave anytime soon. She had thought she would feel better if she tried to get her mind off what happened, but nothing was working out well for her.'Miguel' As that name played in her head, she subconsciously stood up from the bed and strode out of her room. Who knows, maybe seeing him would make her feel better.She gave it a second thought as she stood in front of his room minutes later. Was she doing the right thing seeking her brother-in-law's attention? She asked herself, and just before she could provide an answer to the question, the door opened, revealing the shirtless Miguel. Her heart missed a beat, and as her eyes came in contact with his hard nipples, she felt this not-too-strange sensation. Alexa quickly averted her gaze and
