Ashley is in the garden as she sits on the grass and is combed by the maid. I approached them and motioned the maid to leave.
"How are you?" She gives me a simple smile then looks away. I sat beside her then fixed her hair. "Do you want to eat?" She shook her head.
“I want someone to talk to.”
"I see, I am willing to listen," I said then stroked her hair. "Spill it."
"I love someone and his name is Asher," she used to say this to me every day. But I still couldn’t help but be sad and at the same time, I am happy. Even though she doesn’t recognize me she still thinks of me.
"He loves me and I love him too. But I left him because I don't want to hurt him. You, do you love someone?" Then she faced me with a smile so I nodded.
"Yes, her name is Ashley and I love her so much." She smiled then touched my cheek.
"Same my name the one you love. You look like the one I love. Maybe that is why we met so we can see our lo
Ashley and I are in our room right now. I make some therapy on her and it turns out ok. She responded and soon she will recover. "Charles?" My next question. "My child," she replied without emotion. "Asher?" I asked again. "My husband," she replied again with delight in her eyes but no emotion. "Who are you?" "Ashley," "Full name." "Ashley Lewis Miller." "Very good. You're great," I said then kissed her on the forehead and took something from the bag. "And because you're good, your loved one has a gift for you," I pulled out a box and handed it to her. "Open it." She took it and open it. I gave her a 24k gold plated rose. It is a real rose flower inside but it is dipped in 24k gold. "This is nice. It's mine?" I nod then approach her and set beside her. "Yes, because you're improving every day." "Asher," she calls to me. "Hmph," I just answered then played with her hair. "W
ASHER my husband was on his knees crying as he begged me not to leave.It feels like my heart is pounding in pain but I shouldn't show him that I am not affected. But the truth is I wanted to hug him and comfort him.I will do this for our own good so that he will not get hurt more. I don't want to do this but I need to. I don't want him to get hurt because of what happened to me. I know he will be mad at me after this but I will accept the consequences. Or I want now right now is for him to be happy."Ashley, please don't leave me.""I am sorry, Asher, but my decision is final. Please set me free.""I love you more than anything. You are the woman that I love and I promise to be the last. If I did something, if I hurt you, if you didn't like something on me, please, forgive me. Ash, from now on I will tell you every move I make. I will let you know everything I do so that you will not be angry with me."I hold my tears because I don't want
=ASHLEY’s POV=Carrying the papers given to me by the Red Agency I nervously walked towards Asher’s office. Every step that I made was full of excitement and also fear because this is the first time we would meet after three years since I left.For the past three years, I went away and no one knew where I went even my father and my brother Hunter. Now I came back, not to go back to them or go back to my old life. But as a personal assistant to the CEO/OWNER of Happy Smile Hospital - Asher Miller my ex-husband who will now be my boss.I knocked three times while trying to calm myself down. Various scenes have entered my mind of the possible happenings so my heartbeat got stronger."Come in." I took a deep breath when I heard his voice before opening the door. I should have to calm myself.I felt all my organs go crazy when I saw him even though he was bent over. But I tried to calm down. When he looked up I saw how calm he is and did not
"As I said, she is my new PA," Asher simply replied."PA?" she asked with a laugh. "She's working? What a shame." My best friend who used to be close to me now looks like she's mad at me too. I can't blame her, whose sister wouldn't be angry if her faithful older brother leaves by the wife because of another man."Ow, I know why she's working here because Hunter disowned her because she goes with another man. But wait, why here?" She pointed at me but was looking at Asher. With every word, she utters the anger is obvious in her tone.She couldn't even talk or look at me."She was sent by the agency, she already signs the contract valid for six months with them," Asher didn't want to answer but he was forced by his sister, then looked at me badly."I can't fucking believe this, her face is thicker than any asshole's I've meet, whatever, by the way, I had dinner with Paula. Wanna join with us?" she asked. And now it looks like I wasn't here."
= ASHLEY's POV = I had just finished work and as usual, Asher and I were still out of the office all day unless it was absolutely necessary. I also fixed the schedule of his meetings and I also told him about the details so I said goodbye to go home. In the few days that we have been together, we are ok at work. Even though I know that he hates me and I can see that in his eyes, he doesn't open up about our personal problems anymore. Although his head quickly warmed up to me, I understood bec
"Nana, how much do we need?""One million pesos, package deal for all the expenses." This is amount is not a joke but there is nothing to lose if I try."I'll try," I said then dropped the call.I didn’t know what to do, and I am a total mess right now. I don't know if I will make the right decision but I don't have a choice.While thinking of the right thing to do, Asher came so I immediately stood up and approached him."Can we talk?" I started."Spill it," he said then loosened the necktie."Can I have an advance payment?" I ask and he looks at me seriously."What? Are you fucking kidding me?" I feel his annoyance."I really need.""You're only one week into your job and you ask for an advance?""I really need money. I'm going to work with what I'm going to get and I'm going to pour my time into my work." He didn't say a word but he couldn't stand it either and he also asked."What for
I’m here outside the hospital while waiting for nana Pacing.I looked at the entirety of the hospital and I couldn’t help but be amazed because Asher grew it based on what he wanted to happen. It's a private hospital but the fee is not expensive.Most of the doctors here are graduates abroad but want to help poor people so the charge is cheaper than others.It was only made private so that the hospital could somehow make money to help others. But it's not because it is private it's only the rich or the middle class can afford it. There are also many poor people who seek treatment here, serious cases are referred by other hospitals and they seek treatment here but the price is the same as in the public.I simply smile at what I thought, he really dreams of helping others ever since I met him. It has always been that he wants to be able to build his own hospital and help everyone. They are also complete here with doctors, orthopedics, generals,
"Charles, his name is Charles, he is handsome, has red cheeks, piercing nose, red lips. He is good at hugging, nice to kiss and I gave him the money because he is sick and needed to have surgery.” Then I smiled at him and touched him on the cheek. "He is my everything, my all, I'm ready to be your slave, to be the bed slave of my ex-husband just to save him, and you know what? Even if it wasn't you, I am still willing to offer to anyone myself just to get money to pay for his operation because I love him, dearly dear more than my own life."I was just shocked by what happened next because all the displays on his desk fell. I saw Asher's fists clench tightly as he looked at me wickedly. His face turns red and I know it's because of the rage of anger."I hope he doesn't survive so you will lose everything you've worked for," he barely said."Don't wish for it, Ash, because you will never find me again, I will be gone like a bubble." I was surprised when he s
