ASHLEY

“Let me go!" I snapped as I jerked my head out of his grip.

I glared at him, fuming as rage engulfed my body.

“What do you want?" I snapped, nodding at him.

He sighed and ruffled his hair, then slid his hands into his pants pocket.

“Are you really dating him?" He asked.

My head shot back, and I scoffed in disbelief.

“Is this the first thing to say to me right now, Michael?” I asked, my throat knotting.

He ran his hand through his hair and cursed loudly.

“I'm sorry," he muttered.

I glared at him and turned around to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist and dragged me back.

“Let me go!" I groaned, struggling to get my hand out of his grip, but his grip around my wrist was tight.

“Listen to me!" He snapped in a low tone and darted his eyes to the exit of the corner he dragged me into.

I scoffed loudly and leaned closer to him, my eyes filled with hatred.

“Listen to what? Your daily warning to avoid Margaret and her daughter? To stay away from the family and pretend that I'm dead lik

    ASHLEYThe monitor beeped steadily, filling the private ward with the sound.I leaned closer and pulled the hair covering her face back, then kissed her forehead.I wrapped my hand around hers and kissed the back of her palm, my throat knotting.“Hey, wake up soon, okay?" I whispered in a quivering voice while trying to stop the tears that threatened to flow out."I will be right here waiting for you to open your eyes,” I added.I sank my teeth into the bottom of my lip and slammed my eyes shut, feeling a raw gnawing pain in my chest.My trembling lips parted and slammed shut, and I leaned back into the seat, taking in a deep breath.I didn't let go of her hand as I sat there in silence, reliving the memories we shared. A sharp knock on the door forced me to look away from her face and stare at the door.“Who is there?" I asked, my brows raised in question.The knob turned, and Chloe walked in.My eyes dimmed, and I sprang up, my fist clenching in anger."What are you doing here?” I s

    ASHLEY “Lilian Montgomery is facing massive backlash from fans following false accusations involving her best friend, Ashley Carter.”The entertainment news from the broadcast channel playing on my television forced me to look up, a sly smile on my face.“Cheers to that," I muttered as I raised the filled glass of wine.I gulped it down and got up, then grabbed my coat and shades to shield me from the camera flashes.Of everyone to help me escape that dinner that night, it turned out to be Skylar Morgan. He had come with his little sister for dinner when he called.I didn't know how he got my number, but I was grateful he had it at that moment to save me.I had muttered a thank you to him when I met him in the corridor and had promised his sister a dinner at my place tonight for keeping her waiting."Ugh!” I groaned and slapped my hand over my forehead.I had regretted my words the minute they left my lips, but what more could I do? I made a promise when I was happy, and now I have t

    ASHLEY“You planned this, didn't you?" I asked.Chloe's smile fell, and she darted a knowing glance at Lilian, fidgeting slightly."Look, Ashley–”I scoffed, cutting her off.“You're so sly!" I spat and turned to look at Lilian, the anger still in my eyes.Lilian smiled wider, tilting her head to the side."I forced her to do it. It's not her fault,” she said, and my belly knotted. “So, why do you want me here? To continue from where you stopped at the party?" I asked.The people at the other tables were now staring at us, but said nothing or took photos.The smile on her face faded, and she took a step, her eyes staring deep into mine. I didn't look away or flinch from her gaze. I didn't care about what she would do next. She had done the worst she could do anyway.My heart skipped a beat as she gripped my hand, her eyes softening.“I never knew Simon would try to hurt you that way. Please, forgive me for the way I behaved with you and mistreated you. I had the wrong idea about you.

    ASHLEYShe was giving off a complete Lauren vibe, but I knew it was not Lauren. Not even a miracle would have made Lauren call me this way, but part of me wished it were a miracle and that it was Lauren.“I'm sorry, I'm a mess in recognizing people," I muttered.“Ah, yes, the only thing you can ever remember is a movie script," she said.My eyes dimmed, and I tilted my head to the side. I was sure I had heard that taunt somewhere."Oh, come on, Ash!” She groaned.My eyes slammed shut, and I ransacked my mind for any memory of someone who sounded that annoying aside from Lauren, but came up with none."It's Chloe! Chloe, Ash!” She snapped and clicked her tongue.My eyes widened, and I let out a gasp.I slapped my hand over my mouth, my brows raised in surprise.“I was not expecting it to be you!" I gasped, slipping into a smile before I knew it.“I know. We had quite a bad history back in college, so I'm not surprised that you have no good memory of me," she said, and I chuckled.“I he

    ASHLEY“You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll take care of the transfer, and since the paperwork isn't ready yet, you'll have to sign another day, but for now, we need to get her transferred," Jasper said as we walked down the corridor after getting Doctor Nicholas's approval."Thank you for helping, Jasper,” I said, and he hummed softly, nodding his head.We paused in front of the elevator, waiting for it to open. I rubbed my arm, suddenly feeling nervous.“Uhm…” Jasper cleared his throat, and my heart gave a skip.I gulped hard and fixed my eyes on the button on the elevator, avoiding his eyes, which were obviously fixed on me.I knew he wanted to say something. Something that would surely have to do with his relationship status and what the man had said in the office, and I wasn't ready to hear any of it.He drew closer, rubbing his feet on mine. My heart raced as I stared down at our feet.“Uhm… about what happened in the office–”The door to the elevator pulled open,

    ASHLEYMy breath hitched at his words, and I slowly turned my head to look at Jasper. He was flushed red as he avoided my eyes.“He didn't tell you?" The man chuckled and leaned back into his seat."What a shame,” he clicked his tongue.I clenched my fist, staring at him while burning deep inside of me. I didn't know if I was more enraged that Jasper lied to me about his relationship status or at the man using it as a gotcha moment to mock me, even though he knew nothing about me.“I'm sorry, sir, but you seem to be mistaken," I blurted out, and his smile faded. He looked at me, brows raised in question."Ah, you're still not ready to accept–”“I don't care about Mr Jasper's personal life. I'm not even his friend to begin with,” I said, and he scoffed in disbelief."I am only here because of my friend, not for some relationship,” I said, my gaze hardening. He ran his eyes over my body, finally staying calm.He looked away and continued to sort files, embarrassed."Thank you,” Jasper w
