Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret Chapter 49
Ashley’s P.O.V.For the last few days, I kept my words short, my steps firm, and my heart locked. Facing the sudden storm of sweetness was an arduous task for me. Vincenzo didn’t push me, not directly, but I could feel it, the way he hovered like a shadow behind every breath I took. He was trying to make me a diabetic patient by being unbearably sweet which somehow irritated me more than his usual Alpha arrogance. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t in need of his sweetness. I wanted the truth to undo the past and secure my future. Living under my ex’s roof wasn’t an ideal plan for me. To avoid Vincenzo’s relentless attacks, I spent most of the time with Lilly, brushing her fur and letting her purr to soothe the storm inside me. Her cute mischiefs made the air lighter, even when my chest felt like it was stuffed with wet cotton. Nowadays, Lilly was the only one I had allowed to come close to me as she didn’t ask questions or hover around like a six-feet-four-wall of guilt and all c

Vincenzo’s P.O.V.The second Ashley started to pull away, I felt it, that familiar resistance. The same way she had been retreating from me since she came back.And maybe I deserved that!Hell, I know I did.But as she trembled slightly in my arms, dizzy from the injection and tired from the weight she carried on her shoulders alone, I couldn’t help the urge to protect her from everything, even from herself.“Ash,” I spoke softly. “What if we take a break so you can rest in a peaceful place?”I felt her stiffen immediately.Ashley jerked back just enough to look at me, her brows pulling into a furious scowl. “A vacation?”She repeated, voice rising. “I am one step away from clearing my name, from proving that I am not the traitor your pack called me, and you are talking about going to sip coconuts on a beach somewhere?”I was taken aback by the heat in her voice. “I just meant to ...”“You just mean to escape!” Ashley snapped, pushing against my chest. “To pretend like every

Ashley’s P.O.V.The next morning, I walked into Vincenzo’s office, the files, and audio recording burning a hole in my bag. My fingers itched to open the folder, to show him what I had found. The betrayal, the set-up, the forged signatures, and last but not the least, the whispered plan caught on audio. I was ready to lay it all bare. But before I could utter a word, Vincenzo looked up from his desk and held a hand up to silence me. “No work!We are going to the hospital today.”He added, standing up. “Your check-up is due.”Utterly flabbergasted, I gawked at him.“What?But I need to talk to you now …”“We will talk after that,” he said with finality, already moving towards the door. His typical Alpha move irritated me to the core. I had no choice, but to obey his command, following him like an obedient kitten as he called me.My mood worsened as we went to see Dr. Alex and filled out the papers as usual. Even the injection hurt less this time, but I felt a tingle creep

Ashley’s P.O.V.I couldn’t speak for a second, blinking to check the name again. But it was the same, a name I hadn’t thought of in a long time.My throat dried as I whispered.“I know this person, the one who left just three days after I was cast out.”Jenna leaned closer and asked.“Which one, Ash?”Swallowing the stone in the throat, I pointed out.“Rayden! Elder Albert’s assistant!”The bitterness of recognition laced with revulsion in my tone caught Jenna’s attention, she commented.“You know him that well?”I nodded slowly, the memories bubbling up, ugly and sharp.“He wasn’t just an assistant, but my college bully. The arrogant smug jerk who thought he ruled the world only because girls liked his face and he could throw a football.”My buddy was all ears as I narrated the past tales. “Rayden was a part of Cassidy’s group, always lurking around, whispering and mocking others in hallways. It was his hobby to bully the ones who didn’t flaunt money or fake designer cl

Ashley’s P.O.V.My breath caught in my throat as the garden, the fading golden light, the breeze, all of it vanished, racing my heart. I didn’t dare to move. Didn’t even blink.I had dreamed of this, longed for this. To be wrapped in his arms again, to feel safe, to feel wanted once more. But that dream had been buried beneath the rejection, betrayal, and lonely nights when my own name tasted like guilt.Hardly composing myself, I swallowed a lump in my throat with great difficulty, trying to move away.“No!” I said quietly, clutching Lilly’s leash like it could anchor me. “That’s not a good idea!”My voice didn’t tremble, but my heart did. It wasn’t easy to break free from the beloved cage of Vincenzo’s addicting heat, but I had to leave, keeping my leftover pride intact. I was already worse than a parasite by relying on my ex for survival.However, as soon as I jerked off his hands to walk away, Vincenzo let out a disapproving growl. His large hand caught my wrist.“Don’t!”

Ashley’s P.O.V.“Oh, my goddess!” Jenna gaped, realization washing over her.“Cassidy must have gotten hold of your legal signature or memorized how you write. She’s such a snake.”Balling my fists, I closed the files as my vision blurred with rage.“Now it makes sense. Cassidy forged my signature, stole the defense strategy from the vault, and left this evidence to frame me. And Vincenzo was informed that the papers were stolen from his computer, as only I had the access to his workstation.They waited for the perfect moment to pin the betrayal on me while I was busy preparing to vow myself to Vincenzo.”Everything twisted in my chest like a blade, deeper and deeper. “This is the proof I was looking for. It is the beginning of the truth.”Jenna put a hand on my shoulder. “You must expose them, Ash. They don’t deserve mercy.”Ivory stirred with a growl of purpose inside me, fueling my courage. I almost flinched as she suggested.“Let’s go and show these papers to Vincenzo. He
