ASHLEY

The shock displayed on his face looked so grim that my belly twisted in anger and confusion.

Did Lilian send him over too? Was he going to work together with Silas and Lilian? Or was he here to spy on her like me?

Different questions ran in my head as I stared at him, wide-eyed.

“What the hell are you doing here?" I blurted out the words that had been echoing in my head for the past four minutes.

I watched his throat budge and his hand shake as he narrowed his eyes. I could tell he was

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [147] Celebration

    ASHLEY “Cheers!” Our glasses clinked and everyone gulped down their glass of wine. Lauren had thrown a small party on my behalf to celebrate my success and the inheritance of the company. I had only invited a few of my actor friends and other people I got close to after my return. I had also sent an invitation to Lillian but she rejected it. I was glad she did, though, I was planning to embarrass and mock her in front of everyone. “Congratulations, sweetheart,” Chloe stepped forward with a wrapped box. My lips twitched up in a smile as I took the gift from her. “Thank you,” I muttered. “You're about to become a billionaire,” she said as she tilted her head to the side and watched me. I chuckled at her words, my cheeks staining with pride. “You're flattering me, Chloe,” I muttered. She laughed and gave a hug before walking off to chat with her friends present. My gaze shifted to my brother who was standing in front of the cellar, a glass of whiskey in his hand and his ey

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [146] The will

    ASHLEY The room went silent the moment I walked in.Margaret had insisted on having my father's will read out tonight. Since no one would listen to me, I had no choice but to silently agree.I knew everything was going to go in their favor and I would have to move out of the family house completely.It would be my last night stepping into this house.I took a deep breath, returned the glares of everyone in the large room, and sat down at the far end of the room, away from everyone.I could hear Margaret chuckle mockingly under her breath when I sat down.I was sure she had a party prepared to be launched after the company and all of father's property would be announced to be her son’s“I didn't expect you to show up after the embarrassment you made our family face,” Aunt Jessica blurted out.My lip stretched into a smile as I turned my head to look at her.“You mean the embarrassment my father's son made your family face?” I muttered, stressing the word ‘your’.She frowned deeply alo

  • 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

  • GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall    [142] Alone

    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

    ASHLEY I grasped his hand, panting and thinking of ways to escape him and the blade. “If you move, you'll lose your life," he spat out, pinning the cold blade closer to my flesh. I let out a gasp, my eyes widening in horror. I quieted down and let go of his hand. "There, good girl, there,” he

Thinking about it, you changed after she returned, is there something I have no idea about?" He muttered and I looked u
