Ashley's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Three
“You?”“Me!” Pamela grinned jovially and walked past Ashley into the house.Ashley's brows knotted with confusion and her eyes shone with surprise as she closed the door. She hadn't told anyone that she was at DJ's. Pamela didn't even know she met with DJ. “Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?” Pamela strode inside, making herself comfortable, settling on the sofa.Ashley grinned inwardly at the thought that Pamela wouldn't be so comfortable on that couch if she knew the things she and DJ had done there.“Ashley!”Ashley jolted. She shook her head bringing her mind back into the room. “How did you know I was here?” she asked, moving to join Ashley on the couch.“You didn't return after your meeting with Bruce. I got worried, so I texted DJ and he told me you were here.” Ashley furrowed her brows. “When was this? Have you seen him?” She was curious. She hadn't seen him since the morning and she didn't know where he was.Pamela's brows knitted. “Uh, I texted him last night and he

Ashley and Pamela exchanged looks. Fear filled their gaze. Had DJ heard them? Why did he call them out that way? “Who would pay?” DJ asked, walking into the kitchen to join them. He was still panting slightly from his run. Ashley's and Pamela’s hearts raced as they passed each other fearful looks. They were so engrossed in their fear of being caught that they missed the tease in DJ's voice. “Um…” Ashley fumbled. “If I had known you would come here to bother my fiance with work problems, I would have never told she was with me, Pam.” DJ said, walking to the freezer helped himself to a bottle of cold water. He paused, clinging onto the fridge handle, noticing the tension reeling from both women. “Is everything alright?” His eyes scanned them. “No. We were just talking about work. There are a couple of pending payments to be made.” Ashley explained. “Yes. I'll get the invoice for you to sign.” Pamela said, moving away to get her bag. “See what I mean? You don't give her any break

“The guests have begun to arrive.” Pamela said in a breathless tone. She peeked through the large curtains hiding them behind the stage.The past weeks have been so busy for everyone at the office.The fashion exhibition day was upon them and as Ashley had instructed; nothing was to go wrong. Being an evening event, Ashley had spent the whole day ensuring that the hall and everything else was in place.“Good! And the models?” Ashley asked Pamela. “Don't leave that there.” She instructed one of the handymen. “Put that by the side.” She turned just as Pamela responded to her question.“All ready. Just a few finishing touches… You should go get ready. Change your clothes.” Pamela advised Ashley who looked tired and was drenched in sweat. She looked at her friend with compassion. Ashley had barely sat the whole day.“Sure.” Ashley responded. Her eyes roved around one more time, checking to see if there was anything out of place. She didn't want anything to go wrong. “Go oversee the model

TWO WEEKS AFTER THE EXHIBITION Ashley poked her head through the door to Pamela's office. Her brows knitted as she stepped inside. “Why are you doing that?” Ashley asked Pamela who was standing by the workstation in her office, head bent and intently focused on the mass of material, sweat beads sat over her forehead and temples as she worked on a delicate fabric of beads. It has been two weeks since the success of their fashion exhibition and they have been swamped with orders on the newly launched line. It was more work than ever, more success than ever and more money than ever. The fame of their brand had spread quickly all over London and everyone in the world of clothing and designing wanted to be associated with Ashley and ‘The Knox fashion world’. Pamela snatched her handkerchief from her pant pocket and swiped it unethically over her face. She raised her head to look at Ashley. “They've got their hands full at the atelier. Mrs Maxwell brought in a late request but she's o

“Sorry I kept you waiting.” Ashley apologized as she stepped into her office. Bruce stirred, his eyes gleamed with admiration as he watched her walk in and round her table to her seat. “It's fine. I didn't tell you before coming. In such short notice, I can't blame you.”Ashley scoffed and rolled her eyes without getting noticed. Bruce could easily fool any one with his courteousness, making someone believe he was well mannered and considerate. Anyone but her.She forced a smile. “You're not a stranger. I can always make time for you.” She didn't miss the proud glint in his eyes. He felt important.Idiót! Two can play this game of pretence. Only this time, Bruce was getting beat at his one game.“Thank you.” Bruce said sheepishly.She smiled and darted her eyes to the man seated beside Bruce. He understood the cue and immediately introduced the man.“He is with me. He is Alex, my designer.” Ashley nodded her greeting to Alex before peeling her eyes on Bruce.“Yes. Straight to busin

Ashley was very supportive to Bruce. At least it seemed that way and Bruce bought every bit of her act. She helped him. From offering advice to ensuring the right location for the event was picked, down to decorations, she helped him.“I can't thank you enough, Ashley. You've been more than a big help to me.” Bruce said in a soft low tone, his gratitude, deeply ingrained in his voice.“It pains me that you won't be attending the exhibition after all the effort you've put into it.” He added.She smiled with regret. “Me too.” She murmured and her eyes gleamed with subtle mischief. Because deep down, she wasn't sorry. It was just how it was meant to be. She'd be away on the day his feet would slowly begin sinking down, deep into the mud pool she had prepared for him. Her alibi was too convincing. No one would suspect her.And on the D day, like every fashion show, low background music, dimmed lights, and a runway stage, the models filed out, clad in the new designs intending to wow the

Mr Leon was admitted to a hospital. His heart attack had been serious and he was in critical condition.“Why didn't you tell anyone you were having troubles with the company?” Bruce's mother questioned him. She and Helen were seated outside on one of the benches along the hospital hallway waiting for the doctor.Bruce stood beside their bench. His back inclined against the white wall. One leg bent backwards, his foot folded against the wall, his weight resting on his other foot. He crossed his arms over his chest. His head hung down and he stared fixated at nothing on the white tile.“Did you know about this?” Sarah Leon turned to her daughter-in-law, her eyes sought to extract the answer from her as there was nothing forthcoming from Bruce.“Why did neither of you say anything?” Sarah queried, seeing the guilt that fell over Rachel's eyes. The doctor's arrival at that moment saved Rachel from any more of Sarah's drills. They stood up in a rush, stood before the doctor and listened

Just seeing Bruce so withered in front of her brought Ashley so much satisfaction. But she wasn't done. “Don’t fret over it. We'll work it out.” She assured him. “I can't even look at you.” Bruce said. His voice dunked in heavy self berating. As it should be. She agreed with him in her heart. “I don't know how I ended up plunging myself into this trouble. Now I'm being labeled a thief. My whole reputation is on the brink.” Ashley looked over his face as he flogged himself. The look of shame and regret. This is the look that should have been on his face when he smacked her head. This is the look that should have been on his face when he tossed her body over the bridge. This is the look that should be on his face for the rest of life knowing he tried to murder her in cold blood. But no. Not once did Bruce wear this look for what he had done to her. Not once did he feel this much shame for killing someone. Not once. And here he was clothed in remorse because his reputation w

Ashley's Revenge Chapter Ninety-Four
DJ’s eyelids fluttered open. He had felt the weight on his arm shift. He tightened his grip around her and pulled her against himself. “Escaping?” He asked in a serious tone. He had woken up earlier but laid still, holding her and enjoying the warmth of her body. He wouldn't let her slip away from him. Not again. Not after she had agreed to marry him last night. Ashley chuckled. “Not escaping. I just didn’t want to wake you.” “You were escaping and I caught you.” DJ said conclusively. Ashley broke into laughter and poked his muscled chest. “Silly.” She teased. He joined her, laughing at the pun. He stopped, heaved deeply as his expression turned serious. “I want to wake up with you like this everyday of my life.” His voice was ladened with emotions and sincerity. Ashley’s softened. She smiled at him. She wanted just the same thing too. But- “Me too.” She spoke softly. DJ shifted so that his head rested on his folded elbow. His face was only inches away from hers. His eyes

“I never thought you could patch things up with Rachel.” DJ remarked, his eyes fixed on his rearview mirror with the image of Bruce and Rachel standing on their front porch, watching their car drive down the lane. “Never thought you could ever become friendly with each other.” “Hmm.” Ashley hummed. “I was beginning to get tired of the fights. It just didn't fit right that you two were always at loggerheads.” “Mm-mm.” “Especially now that I'm trying to fix things with my family.” He continued. “I don't want you to be caught in the middle of our past.” Ashley scoff humorlessly. Past. The word was weighty with meaning. “Dad would be pleased to hear this. He’s always wanted one big united family.” Ashley kept mute this time, not making any sound in agreement or disagreement to his statement. Her truce with Rachel wasn't as she painted it. It was a trap for Rachel. A trap Rachel was successfully caught in. DJ took his eyes off the roads and glanced at her. “Are you alright?” He as
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Ninety-Two
Rachel wasn't herself the rest of the evening. She kept stealing petrifying glances at Ashley. Ashley had become a difficult puzzle; she couldn't place its missing piece. How did she know so much? Who was feeding her with so much information? Was Bruce stupid enough to tell her? She couldn't figure anything out. She just couldn't wrap her head around any of it. She was more than pleased when the time came for everyone to leave. She and Bruce bade them goodbye, shaking hands, passing hugs and farewell kisses to her parents and Bruce's parents, and avoiding Ashley and DJ. She managed a half hearted smile at DJ and didn't look at Ashley at all. Ashley smiled and moved to hug Rachel in front of everyone. Rachel froze on the spot. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped. She couldn't respond. “I'm so glad we had that talk.” Still smiling, Ashley rubbed the length of her arm. “It warms my heart to know that we are on good terms now.” Rachel blinked, she felt Ashley's hand run t
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Ninety-One
Ashley matched the old woman's gaze, watching her intently until she disappeared into the living room. She was the least bit intimidated. She smiled at herself. Mrs Fox didn't know what was coming. She didn't know half of it yet. Ashley would let her be. For now. She turned around to face a glaring Rachel. Her eyes trailed the length of Rachel. She noticed the napkins on Rachel's hand. “I didn't think you were one to get your hands dirty.” Ashley commented. “Where are your maids?” Rachel had never been good with house chores and seeing her helping to clear the table was a rare sight. “What do you want? Rachel asked. She yanked a careless discarded napkin off the table and added it to the pile she had gathered in her hand. A task she had begun in a bid to simmer off before joining them in the living room. “I thought you could use the company. Your face looks like a rock. Smile.” Ashley smiled at her, showing Rachel how to. Rachel scoffed. “And you think your presence would make

“This is a family dinner, why did you invite her?” Rachel bellowed at Bruce who stood in front of their mirror, attentively fixing his tie. “Because she's family. She's my brother's fiancee.” He responded without glancing at her. “You don't realize that she's your brother's fiancee on those nights when you stayed out late on dinner dates, frolicking with with ‘brother's fiancee!’” Hot fumes literally escaped Rachel's ears. “We are business partners. You know that.” Bruce walked around her as he spoke. He beelined for her vanity table where he had earlier laid his cufflinks. Fixing the tiny piece of accessory to his suit sleeves, he continued talking. “Stop being so petty. You keep ranting about a woman who is least concerned about you or what you have.” He finished fixing the cufflinks and walked back to the mirror, examining his finished look. Satisfied with his reflection, he turned to Rachel. “Go get yourself dressed up and come down. We are the hosts, we shouldn't be late to o

“Paul.” His name was a breath of stale air as it rolled out of her lips. She could see the curve of his sinister smile even in the darkness. “Missed me?” Ashley's chest rose and fell in quick successions. Her eyes wide with terror, she watched him closely. Calculating and anticipating his next move. She hadn't forgotten the last time. Fixing her eyes on him, she allowed the corners of her eyes to scan around her, looking for an easy grab and suitable weapon. She flinched, shifting backward as he lifted a hand to her. Her breath paused. His hands approached, taking a lifetime to reach her. When it finally did, his index finger trailed the side of her face and tucked a mass of her disheveled hair behind her. “Go back to sleep. We'll talk better tomorrow.” Not another word and he was walking out the door. No fights. No argument. No attack. He left. Ashley exhaled, clutching her chest, fearing her racing heart would explode. She hadn't realized she had been holding her breath. G

“I’m not surprised Rachel could stoop so low.” Pamela remarked as they walked out of the bar. Ashley scoffed, shaking her head ruefully. “They have no morals.” They reached the car, Ashley clicked the doors open and they got in. “Ashley, don't you think you revealed too much to Rachel? She'll begin to suspect.” Pamela's voice was laden with concern. “That’s what I want. To raise doubt and suspicion in her mind… You don't have to worry. She can't hurt me.” Ashley assured her, knowing the reason for Pamela's concerns. She kicked the car to a start and drove to drop Pamela off at her apartment. “Thanks girl.” Pamela said in appreciation as she got down. “Want to come inside?” “No. Thanks. I'm going up east.” Pamela knitted her brows. “Is everything alright at home?” “Yeah. Dad's coming back tomorrow and I want to be there when he arrives.” Dad; the word came to her naturally. There was an inexplicable excitement at the thought of seeing Mr Knox again. The man that saved her a
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Eight-Seven
Stan's eyes met the menacing man standing beside Pam. His huge frame contrasted spookingly to Pam’s small frame. He parted his lips and swallowed the words he was about to utter. The warning look on Thomas’ face left him speechless. He recovered quickly, cleared his throat and grunted a goodbye to Pamela and Ashley as they left. Once both women were out of sight, Stan stood at attention, feet closed, chest out and hand lifted up to his head in salute. “Sir!” Joe watched horrified. Trembling, he mirrored Stan's posture in salute to his boss whom he had never seen. “Sir!” Joe’s salute came out shaky and fear filled. Thomas dismissed them and occupied the stool Ashley had earlier vacated. His scrutinizing gaze fixated on both men as he motioned to them to sit. “What was that all about?” Thomas asked, his tone authoritative and bossy. Nothing like the voice he spoke to Pamela in. “Are you two selling sensitive office information out?” He probed further. “What are you two trying to pu
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Eight-Six
“Darn it!” Ashley cussed under her breath as Pamela and Thomas reached them. She wasn't ready to deal with Thomas again. She didn't know the guy and she didn't trust him. Just her instincts. And it didn't help that her investigation on him came back with nothing. Nothing! Almost as though the dude didn't exist. She hissed and clenched her fist. An unrest that didn't go unnoticed by Pamela. Pamela met Ashley’s eyes with a glare. “See who I bumped into.” Pamela beamed. A warning directed at Ashley underlied her voice. Ashley took the cue and wore a sweet welcoming smile. She had to behave for her friend. Pamela liked him and until she had proof to convince Pamela otherwise, she'd have to tolerate him. “Hello, Thomas. It's nice to see you again.” Ashley greeted. Thomas smiled and nodded. “Hello Ashley. Nice to see you too.” He returned, all the while switching his gaze between Rachel and Ashley, curiosity embedded in his grey eyes. Ashley turned to Pamela who was standing beside her
