CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
Alan walked into his room after his banter with Ashley, for the first time he felt intimidated by her words. He sat quietly on the bed as he pondered on her words. “I don't love her anymore, why can't I move on?” He asked with a disheveled look. He drowned himself in thought through the night before falling asleep.“She is not up yet?” Alan asked, raising his brows at the empty living room. He walked towards her room to check up on her.Raising his hands to knock, he stopped “No, I should just go. I am not ready for her sermon” He gagged and left for work.Ashley woke, stretching herself “Why do I feel tired even after waking up” She whined, standing up lazily and heading to the bathroom to carry out her usual routine.Ding dong“Hmm, who could that be?” She mumbled, glancing at the direction of the door.“I am coming” She half yelled, strolling to the door to open.“Hey girl” Andrea greeted when Ashley opened the door, Ashley smiled excitedly at her.“Hey Drea, didn't know you woul

You are ready for work. I will make you breakfast” She said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom.“Here you go,” Ashley said, placing a plate of bacon, egg, and cheese in front of him.“Thank you, sit and join me,” Alan said, tapping the chair beside him.“No, I don't feel like eating anything now, I will sit and watch you eat,” Ashley said, frowning lightly, sitting beside him.“Just a little Ashley, one spoon,” He said, passing a spoon to her. Ashley attempted to eat the food when she felt a surge from her stomach

Slouching slowly on the floor, she rubbed her stomach “What do I do with you?, your father doesn't want you and I don't know what to do either” She mumbled gazing at her stomach.Glancing up “If there is truly a savior up there then now is the time to save me” She muttered fighting back her tears.Pacing to and fro his room “Why do I feel like she is hiding something?”He thought, placing his hand on his jawline.“Let me find out” He mumbled, fetching his phone and placing a call.“Yes Doctor good evening, is my wife sick?” Alan blurted out the moment the call went through.“M..Mr.Anderson, no your wife isn't sick s..she is just under the weather and she will be fine soon” The doctor stuttered.Releasing a breath “Okay I was worried for nothing, I thought she had a serious ailment that she was hiding from me” Alan said rubbing his chin.“Yeah, good night” The doctor replied, clutching his phone tightly.Ashley stood in front of the mirror inside her bathroom as she stared at her reflec

Ashely walked into her room and lay on the bed. She needed to meet the doctor so she would know what she should do and what she was not supposed to do to not harm the baby.“Good morning” She greeted Alan who just nodded his head at her.“I made breakfast, come and eat,” Ashley said softly to him.“Ashley, we need to talk,” Alan said, glancing at her.“But the food will get…” “Ashley right now,” Alan said interrupting her making her move back a bit in fear.“What happened last night?” Alan asked her, his jaw clenching. They were sitting on the living room sofa.“Alan I am sorry I chickened out in the heat of things, I don't know, I wasn't feeling….” She said, bending her head lightly, she didn't know what to say.“You were not feeling me, I don't satisfy you anymore? Or have you found someone who could do it more than me?” He asked her furiously while Ashley stared in shock at him.Holding her tears “A…Alan, what are you saying? I can’t do that to you” She said with a confused face.“

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE
Alan stood in the living room glancing at his wristwatch as he waited for Ashley to come.“Sorry for keeping you waiting” Her tiny voice called out while Alan turned around glancing at her. She wore a satin cocktail dress outfit and a pair of slipper heels, she left her hair cascading down her shoulders with mild makeup on her face to cover her eye bags.Extending his hands to her “Gorgeous as always” He exclaimed softly.“Thank you,” She replied, smiling softly.They headed to the reservation that Alan had booked for them. “This place is beautiful,” Ashley gushed. Alan booked a private diner, rose petals were scattered all over the places, soft music was playing in the background, and everywhere looked beautifully decorated.“Here you go,” Alan said, passing a bunch of rose flowers to her and a gift bag.Raising her brows “Thank you but what's inside the bag?” She asked, collecting them.“See for yourself” He replied, pulling out a seat for her.After settling in her seat, Ashley un

Gasping “Ashley what's wrong? you are n…” Alan asked pointing at the unfazed Ashley.“I know, I want you,” Ashley said softly walking close to him.“Ashley…” Alan stuttered, taking in the fresh scent from her proximity.“Please” Ashley pleaded, placing a kiss on his lips which sent a jolt of current in his body.“Ashley I won't stop now” He whispered, kissing her immensely as he caressed her naked body.Lifting her, he led her to the bed without breaking from the kiss. Ashley hurriedly unbuttoned his shirt and pulled his pants. Alan kissed from her neck to her succulent breast satisfying the pleasure that she solely desired.“Gosh, you feel so good” Alan groaned, slumping beside her while Ashley breathed softly as she closed her eyes and allowed darkness to take over her.“Ashley, we need to clean up,” Alan said, gazing at the roof but got no response.“Ashley” He called out again only to hear her soft breath. Turning towards her, he gazed at her slightly opened mouth.Chuckling “Your

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
Ashley slumped on the sofa, rubbing her head lightly she wondered when all this would end.“It won't be long before he finds out, what do I do?” Ashley thought, blinking back her tears.“Ashley is hiding something from me and I wonder what it is, she is also behaving strangely,” Alan thought pacing to and fro in his room.Putting on his office shirt “It better not be a huge problem because she will hate her whole existence” Alan bellowed.“I made you breakfast,” Ashley said to Alan who was about to leave for work.“I am not hungry” He mumbled.“Alan, listen, I am sorry for sniffing you like that and I know I have been acting up lately. I will come around please” Ashley pleaded, holding his hands.“Ashley listen very carefully to me, if you are hiding anything from me you better start talking because if I find out on my own you will hate your whole existence” Alan warned coldly while Ashley went rigid at the spot.“A…Alan what are you saying?, I am not hiding anything from you” Ashley

Drea clutched her phone tightly as she devised a way to walk into Alan’s mansion and help Ashley without any suspicions.“Ohh my goodness, what kind of problem is this?” She groaned, picking up her car keys and rushing out of the house.She walked towards the front door and muttered prayers, hoping the door would be open and she wouldn't have to knock.“He would be at home by this time, I need to be careful,” She said, she didn't get many queries from the bodyguards because she was known here but if Alan saw her here by this time it would raise questions.Tiptoeing to the front door, she clicked the doorknob, shutting her eyes tightly and hoping it would open. “Ohh my goodness, it opened” She squealed before pushing the door lightly to avoid any noise and she walked into the house slowly.Clicking the door closed, she turned and saw Ashley lying lifeless in the corner close to the wall. Holding her mouth tightly to avoid screaming, she rushed towards her.“Ashley, Ashley” She whisper

I am not pregnant” She laughed nervously, glancing at Alan whose jaw was tightened.“How many times have you experienced this?” She asked, shooting her a quizzical look.“I…I” “A couple of times, I thought she was under the weather” Alan interrupted, eyeing Ashley.Chuckling “Young couples don't know anything, your wife is pregnant.
