ASHLEY

I threw a coat on, put on the shades, then began to march to the door.

I gripped the knob, hesitated for a moment, before I pushed the door open.

Luis pulled away from the wall when I walked out.

“Are you sure you want to see him?” He asked for the sixth time.

"Yes, I want to do it!” I snapped affirmatively.

He sighed and shrugged.

“If you say so," he muttered and began to lead the way out of the private ward.

The door to the girl's room opened, and my feet froze. My heart tightened as S

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [145] Theon Carter

    ASHLEY My chest tightened when the voice of my father's son filled the garden. I stood frozen, staring at the entrance of the garden while murmurs and shrieks surrounded me. My fist clenched as he staggered into the garden, a grin on his face. He staggered fully in, his eyes narrowing and his feet trembling. He looked like a tout in those stupid, colorful clothes, and his hair was a mess, a spiky mess. I clenched my jaw, glaring hatefully at him as he staggered deeper into the garden, his grin widening when his eyes shifted in my direction. “Hello everyone! Inam back!” He growled and my face heated in embarrassment. “Is that your brother?” Lauren whispered, mockery evident in her voice. I sighed out, closing my eyes as anger roared through me. Margaret walked briskly towards her son and gripped his arm, whispering words to him. The grin on his face faded and he looked at me. Our eyes locked and I could swear I saw hatred dash across those eyes. I wasn't surprised. That was al

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [144] The apple pendant

    ASHLEY I didn't know what to do as I stood there, dumbstruck and confused. My heart was racing in my chest, my belly was twisted in horror and I felt a sinking, weakening feeling enveloping every part of me. I gulped hard, my throat still dry and tight as I stared at the necklace. She was the one who had bought the second one. How was that possible? Why didn't I know all this while? I gasped and began to draw closer, slower this time. Before I could get closer to where she stood so I could question her, someone grabbed my hand from behind and dragged me out of the place. My heart dropped into the bottom of my belly and rage sparked through me as I struggled to get the hands of whoever was holding me off my wrist. From the corner of my eyes as I struggled, I saw Margaret turn in the direction of the place I once stood. “Let go of me!" I spat and jerked my hand away from his grip. The person turned and it turned out to be Skylar. I scoffed, disappointed that it wasn't Michae

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [143] Everything she had planned

    ASHLEYMichael let go of my hand when his friends came over to greet him. We were back at the funeral party being hosted in my father's garden. That was his favorite part of the garden. It irritated me that that was the part Margaret decided to throw her stupid party. I knew behind those black dresses and small talk, there was happiness and excitement. All I'd heard since I was standing here was the possibility of the inheritance becoming Margaret's and her children's.Everyone at the party had pretended like Michael and I didn't exist. Even though Michael wasn't interested in things like that, he was obviously pissed to see the direction of every conversation we decided to be part of.I sighed and rubbed my wrist, glancing at the flowers my father was watering the day I came to see him. The last day I saw him alive and smiling.“Miss Carter." I turned when someone mentioned my name behind me.The smile that I was about to throw onto my face disappeared when my eyes fell on Mrs. Morg

    ASHLEYI watched silently with a heavy heart as they lowered the gold coffin into the ground. Margaret wailed loudly beside me, and Karen followed along with their false cries.I pinned my blurry gaze on the casket, barely batting an eyelid over the people who gathered to console their fake cries.If I should bat an eyelid, tears would definitely slip out of my eyes and expose the weakest part of me.I sighed and closed my eyes, feeling that pain-filled sting in my chest.“To ashes we come, to ashes we return," the priest said, and the people chorused a quivering Amen.I sucked in a deep breath, gripping the hem of my black dress as they began to lay him down in a place I would never see him again.My throat burned in pain and rage, and my heart ached so badly that I feared it would burst out in flames. I shouldn't have stared, but I did anyway. I wanted to watch as they buried him. I wanted to feel that pain, that rage. I wanted to taste that unquenchable thirst of vengeance.I stood

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [141] My fault

    ASHLEY My heart dropped into the deepest part of my belly and shivers washed down my back. I staggered back, the hairs on my skin jerking up in horror.“Kourtney?" I whispered in a quivering voice.I looked at Michael, but he looked away, unable to explain either.I gasped loudly and gripped the hem of my dress.Margaret gripped my arm and pushed me back, glaring hatefully at me.“You made him start digging around for things he shouldn't have dug for," she whispered and my throat knotted.My lips parted and slammed shut, confusion welling up in me.“What do you mean?" I snapped when I couldn't take in the confusion anymore.She wanted to say something else to me but paused and looked back at the people staring at us.She turned and glared at me then hissed and turned around to go back to where she was sitting.I stood there, dazed, as I stared at them.How did my father find out about Kourtney? Why did that name kill him?My heart clenched, and guilt filled my chest with bile rising

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [140] You killed him

    ASHLEYAll through the drive to the morgue, I couldn't stop crying. My heart kept shrinking, and tears wet my dress so much that I had to wrap a handkerchief over my chest.“Don't get into a fight," Michael warned as he pulled the car to a stop in the parking lot.I wiped away the tears on my face and nodded as I unlocked the seat belt.I got out of the car and rubbed my trembling arm, then began to walk towards the building.I could barely see the building because of the blurry haze over it. My heart was racing, and my feet ached with each step I forced forward towards the building.The closer I got to that building, the more painful those rare moments I shared with him got.I could barely feel myself, and I could barely hear my own heartbeat as I walked.I paused at the large doors, my heart racing so fast and thumping so hard that I feared my chest might split.I couldnt move again. I wasnt ready to face whatever horror was waiting for me behind those walls.“What's wrong?” I heard

Jaws dropped in surprise when the people around saw me. I was sure none of the people knew that I would join my father at the business g
