Chapter 51Ashley Gustavo POVWaking up this beautiful morning in a good mood was the best thing I could say have happened to me in the last few days of my life.I reached for my phone and unlocked it to see a message on the screen.'I talked to Ann. She would be moving in today' That was even the nicest thing to make my day as I read through the text.'Ok' Was the only reply I sent to Ace before I tossed my phone on the bed and got off the bed. My body felt stiffened as I dragged myself into the bathroom to have a bath and get ready for work.A brief bath was what I planned when I was going into the bathroom, but I ended up spending almost forever there before I walked back into my room. I took my time to get dressed and after I was done, I pulled out the cabinet drawer, and there I found the antiseptic I had taken from the hospital earlier. I forgot to give it to Asher, or maybe I just haven't gotten the chance to give him yet.I sighed briefly as I picked it up and dropped it on th

Chapter 53Ashley Gustavo POV"It's good to see you again, sis," She stood up and stretched her hand to me for a handshake, but I denied her the audience."I can't say the same," I replied to her as I crossed my arms on my chest, and she did the same too."My bad... Sorry, I moved in without telling you beforehand. Ace couldn't wait to spend time with the baby and me, so he didn't plan it properly before he asked me to move in," She stated proudly, but I only smiled. If only she knew who asked her to be moved inside, I guess she would really be shocked."It has been a while. Since I will be getting married to Ace soon, I guess we are both going to be co-sisters-in-law soon... We should get along with each other, don't you think?" She gently tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at me."Enjoy your stay here, Ann. Let me know when your wedding IV is ready..." I paused and took a few steps close to her."That is if it will ever happen because I will make sure it doesn't," I whispered

Chapter 55Ashley Gustavo POV"I want you, Asher," My heart pounded hard in my chest like it was going to explode, I felt a spark in my body as though I was electrified. The feeling was crazy, but what was crazier was the fact that I was being like this even after everything he had done to me. Did he cast a spell on me? I asked myself, but quickly dismissed the thought because I didn't even believe that shit existed.How could I still be like this when he told me bluntly that he didn't love me? How could I still allow him to touch me like he owned me when I knew nothing good was ever going to come out of this? I asked myself, but in the end, I was left helpless."I will make you feel good, I promise," My breath hitched momentarily as he nuzzled his face in my neck and fanned it with his warm breath, biting on the nape of my neck, making me weak in the knees."Stop it, Asher..." I wanted to say to him, but in the end, I was betrayed by my body that wanted him so badly, leaving me with

Chapter 57"Are you crazy, Ashley? How could you do something like that?" Asher ran his fingers through his hair crazily. He couldn't help the rage after Ashley explained everything to him."You have to trust me and let me handle this, Asher," Ashley held his hand and tried to convince him."How am I supposed to trust you? What if you end up falling for him again and going back to him? I mean, that's not my business, but have you forgotten what that bastard made you pass through?" He reminded her, but deep inside him, he wasn't confident. He was scared of losing her to Ace. What if in the end, she ended up loving him? What if she left him for that bastard? He hated to admit that he was jealous."Come on, Asher. I've not forgotten any of it, and just as I've said, I'm not going to leave you out of it. You have nothing to worry about," She held his hand and convinced him, but still, it was hard to just believe her like that. What if she was still in love with him and looking for a way t

Chapter 59Ann stood there, helpless and embarrassed as she had no other money with her to pay for the items."You are keeping me waiting, young lady. I need to attend to other customers... Are you paying with...""Uhm... There seems to be a problem... My boyfriend said that the card has an issue so I can't use it," Ann couldn't believe herself for saying those words to the cashier who didn't seem like she gave a damn about that."You are keeping us waiting,""Are you going to stay there forever?""Why is the queue not moving? Can you please be fast about this?""I have things to do at home. He fast with things, please," some of the customers behind Ann complained loudly, and she bit her lip."So, what are you saying?" The cashier finally asked as she raised her eyebrows while waiting for Ann to say those words again."I was wondering if it'll be possible to return the items to where I picked them from... I won't be able to pay for them," Ann's voice came out low and sad as she held h
