ASHLEY

My 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

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [53] If the shoe fits

    ASHLEY“Don't you get it? We are going to die! We are all dead! This is not the end, this is the beginning of our misery!" “And… cut!” The director's words cut through the air, and the camera’s recording light went off."That was great, Carter!” “Get it, girl! Get it, girl!" Members of the production crew there laughed and clapped at my acting.We had been shooting for four hours straight with only brief breaks for outfit changes.I sighed and wiped away the fake tears and blood on my face, then grabbed a bottle of water from one of the staff members, extending their hands to me. Julius, my co-actor, smiled and nodded at me before turning away.I began to walk away from the scene and towards the set-up tent.A staff member trailed behind me with a small fan, and another walked towards me with a makeup box in hand.“You did well, Miss Carter. I wasn't wrong about you," the director said when he approached me.I looked up and nodded my head."I look forward to doing more work with yo

    ASHLEY“Did you pick that out because of us?" Jasper and my heart clenched.I looked at him, filled with rage."Us? The last time I checked, there was no us!” I snapped in a low voice.He smiled down at me in a sly way.“I don't think anyone here will agree with you," he whispered.I gulped hard and gripped the box, shaking in anger and disgust. I swung my head to the side and watched Skylar as he effortlessly strode towards the switch, his muscles flexing.I gulped again and dug my toes into the ground, my eyes never leaving his back.Jasper was chit-chatting with Emily now and didn't know what I was investing my attention into. It felt weird that I didn't want him to find my eyes on someone else, even though nothing was going on between us. Was the delusion affecting me, too?I sighed and rubbed my forehead, then looked up in Skylar's direction.My heart skipped a beat when our eyes locked. His head has turned now, and his eyes were on me, his brows raised in questioning. I was sur

    ASHLEYI stared at him, surprised. The silence and tension in the kitchen were so loud that I could hardly breathe.The thought of him hurting someone for my sake made my skin tingle. Would he really do that for me? That was… crazy.“They're still in the kitchen?" Jasper's voice echoed from the living room, and so did his footsteps, which were getting closer to the kitchen.My senses returned, and I panicked, then pushed him away and quickly grabbed the bowl that had been on the ground and turned my back to Skylar.Thankfully, the bowl had a lid that stopped the fruits inside from falling to the ground.My face was all red as I pretended that everything was okay when he walked in."Ashley?” Jasper called at the door, and I froze.I didn't know why, but I felt a pang of guilt when I tilted my head to the side to look at him.“Oh, hey, Jasper!" I forced a smile at him, but I was sure he could notice the uneasiness in the air.He looked at Skylar, who was silent beside me, then back at

    ASHLEYI could barely feel myself with my body pressed so close to his. My temperature kept rising, and my heart wouldn't stop racing as he clutched me tight in an embrace I didn't request.I finally found my voice after being out of breath for a long minute and parted my lips to protest.“What are you doing?” I gasped and began to wriggle to get out of his grip, but his grip was too tight.“Let me go!" I snapped in a low tone to avoid alerting the others."Why should I?” He muttered. That mischief was so obvious in his voice.I cursed and gripped his hand, trying to pull it off my body, but that wasn't close to working.“Let me go, Skylar!" I snapped again, throwing my head back to glare at him.He stared at me and smiled sinisterly, then pressed my body even more closely to his, making sure his bulge was rubbing against my ass.I shivered against the contact and slammed my eyes shut, cursing loudly.I could feel his breath up against the back of my ear, and one of his hands shifting

    ASHLEY“You want to do what?” I gasped, gripping hard onto the door as I stared at him in disbelief.He chuckled and stepped even closer, his head tilted to the side.“Why? Can't I have dinner at your place? I couldn't get over the aroma coming from your place, so…” he shrugged, that mischievous smile sticking to his face.My lips slanted up in anger, and I scoffed loudly.“You came over because you couldn't get over the aroma of what I was making?" I muttered mockingly, and he nodded with that annoying smile still on his face.I scoffed again, shaking my head."I'm sorry, but you're not invited. I have guests,” I muttered, drawing the door closer to myself.I expected that smile to disappear and let the disappointment cloud his face. But it didn't.He neither walked away nor stopped smiling.“Well, your guests won't mind dealing with me," he said.My jaw dropped in amusement, and I narrowed my eyes, letting out a sigh.I threw my head back and drew in a deep breath, hoping I'll get r

    ASHLEYI dropped the bottle of wine on the table, sighing tiredly.After meeting with Jasper, I hadn't been myself. I kept thinking of what I could do to bring Lauren back. I couldn't just sit down and wait for her to wake up.“I have to do something, I really have to–" I felt a sharp pang in my head, and a groan left my lips.I slapped my hand over my forehead, staggering back while my eyes swirled in circles.Jasper's words echoed in my head, and Lauren's pale face flashed across my eyes.I groaned again and slumped down to the ground, my nails tearing into my palm.My body was trembling as I sat there, drowning in guilt and anger.If only I had forgotten about that fuckass Simon for a moment. If only I had…A gasp escaped my lips, and my eyes pulled open as a sharp knock on my door pierced through my thoughts.I swung my head back, staring at the door while panting and gripping my chest.“Who is there?" I asked, but no one answered. Instead, the knock persisted.I looked over at th
