ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 25: Roasting Karl
"Oh, crap! We better get going now," Hana got fret suddenly. "Why? What happened ?" Ashley was confused and quickly turned around to follow the woman from behind. Then she saw right away what Hana meant. Karl was heading towards Ashton and Lucia was trying to catch up with his steps from behind. "Hi, I saw you came with Ashley before. I have never seen you before though. Would you mind if we have a little introduction?" Karl said to Ashton directly right after he reached half a meter in front of that guy. At the same time, Ashley and Hana also reached the scene and they both quickly stood right beside their respective partners. "You're finally done talking with your bestie?" Instead of responding to Karl, Ashton talked to his wife first, deliberately kissing her temple lovingly in front of them all and even wrapping his hand around her waist to make her stand closer to him. He was making sure the view of her and him looked intimate in front of Karl. "Yeah, sorry it took so long,"
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 26: Clubhouse's Owner
"If five years with me could somehow mean nothing to him now, what makes you think that he would value a five years marriage with you? I really hope you pass the five years of marriage crisis you going to have with him later. And if you did happen to pass it, then I'll congratulate you once again for your marriage," Ashley ended Lucia smoothly."That's it! You need to leave," Lucia was really pissed off by Ashley's words. She did not know how to retort to it, so she took the easiest way to solve it, by trying to get rid of Ashley and her partner from the wedding event."Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Ashton remarked calmly, ignoring the glare Lucia gave him. Instead, he just stroked Ashley's hair lovingly and only had his eyes focused on her."Excuse me? This is my wedding, I rent the whole clubhouse for me to enjoy my big day. I would never compromise your disrespectful behaviour towards me and my husband on our big day. This is unacceptable. How shameful of you to be stubb
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 27: Losing His Patience
Having sensed that Ashton was picking on Lucia, Karl changed his target instantly and pleaded to Ashley instead."Ashley, please save my face. I can't have this important occasion cancel. My family would be embarrassed if that happens," Karl said beggingly. But Ashley looked away from him instantly and refused to get involved. She glanced at her husband and she could feel a domineering aura emerging from him again.Seeing Ashley ignoring him, Karl finally turned his body and looked at his wife with a mad expression. He could not believe that Ashley would give him a cold shoulder considering that they had known each other for so long and even used to have such a special relationship before. But his heart convinced him that it was his fault to begin with and maybe this was how karma worked on him."Apologize to them immediately," he ordered Lucia and that woman seemed reluctant again. But Karl grabbed her arm harshly and pushed her forward to face Ashton and Ashley.Lucia could feel as
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 28: Stop Thinking About Him
"I thought you were over him completely," Hana approached Ashley with two glasses of champagne in her hands. She gave one to Ashley. "Where's Sam?" Ashley asked and Hana pointed her finger at one corner of the hall showing Samuel was having a casual talk with Ashton again. "They both seem to get along quite well," Hana commented about their husbands. "You think so?" Ashley responded unconsciously and Hana nodded. The two were silent while watching the wedding couple dancing. After they both finished the champagne, they put down the glasses on the table and started chatting again. "Do you think what Ashton did back there was too much? Too harsh maybe?" Ashley brought up that topic. She wanted to hear what her close friend would think about it. "Can you even blame him? It was harsh a bit I guess, but I think if I were in his position, I would do the same too," Hana replied. "Why so?" "He might look fine, Ashley. But a husband is a husband after all. At one point, even though you
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 29: Karl's Family
He was well aware that all his family members pretty much still loved Ashley like she was part of the family. But she was now married to Ashton Grey. Karl did not want to offend that man in any way so he tried to hinder his mother from speaking with Ashley too much. "Why didn't you tell me that Ashley was coming? She should have sat with us in the front row before. She was part of the family," Lily reprimanded her son immediately. "Mom, she-" "How terrible were you to do this kind of thing to her. I helped raise her like my own daughter and now you just threw her away for a richer woman," Lily cut her son off. She was so disappointed that Karl did not end up with Ashley. "Mom, I-" "Shut it. Ashley, let's sit with us. The others will be so glad to see you again. You haven't come to our home for like months. We all had missed you very much, dear," Lily grabbed Ashley's wrist and tried to bring her to the table of Karl's family members. "Mom, don't..." "Aunt Lily, I can't..." Ash
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 30: Call From Ex
There were some drinks inside the limo and Ashton's hand reached for the bottle of whiskey. He poured some into a glass and drank it. He gestured his eyes asking Ashley if she wanted some, but she shook her head. "I invited Samuel and Hana to our house tonight for dinner," he said, and then gulped the whiskey in one go. "You did?" Ashley responded rhetorically. They were quiet again, having nothing to talk about. Ashton still staring out of the car window, pondering over the things that happened at the clubhouse. He kept pouring himself the whiskey until it was the fifth glass. Ashley stopped him from pouring more. She had never seen him drunk before and she was scared to see him losing his conscience, so she stopped him before he did. If she was not there, he would probably be going to drink more because he felt like this was a day where he needed that. He tried to act like he was unbothered by what kind of relationship Ashley used to have with Karl. But it was really hard because
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 31: I Want You Back
Karl whimpered even more. He had the back of his body resting over the edge of the bed while he sat on the floor. But now he felt his whole body trembling and getting fragile. In seconds, his body slowly fell to the floor, just lying there like a melted jelly. The floor got wet from his tears and the empty red wine bottle that he held was released, lying flat on the floor just like him. "I want you back... I want you back... Tell me how to fix this..." he whispered hoarsely to her through the phone. "You... can't... There's no way to fix this. We're really... over this time," Ashley found it hard for her to speak properly while holding her tears in. "I want you back..." Karl kept repeating those words to Ashley like an insane person. He just stared blankly towards nowhere while his hand gripped his phone hard as if that was the only way he could reach Ashley. Back then, when he decided to marry Lucia, he thought that maybe someday, Ashley would still come back to him, willing to b
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 32: Their Married Life
Hana, along with her husband and their baby finally left the villa after bidding goodbye. Ashley still pondered over Hana's words in the living room even long after that woman had gone. She just sat there on the sofa alone while staring at the floor. Her husband had gone upstairs to take a quick shower and changed his shirt because the smell of barbeque stuck on him. 'Appreciate what you have,' that was the one that kept repeating on her mind like a broken record. She did not know how long she had been sitting there, but the lights in the living room were suddenly turned off by someone. "Are you going to sleep there?" Ashton's voice came from behind her. She turned her head around only to find him standing behind her, leaning his body closer and wrapping both his arms around her shoulders. "You smelt good," Ashley said softly, having her nose got pierced by the exquisite scent of the expensive body gel Ashton usually used. "And you smelt barbeque, I wanted to eat you," he replied h
