His Surrogate

Chapter 2 Ashley had already began her nerve-racking penniless day.She was so hungry that it was visible.Her slender curvy body had become thin and her blue eyes had dimmed.She pressed the button indicating that the next person had to be quick."One Americano and a caramel." The next person placed his order.She nodded, getting the money and shoving it into the money box that came out as she pressed another button."Next.""Didn't think you'd back down so quickly Cara Mia, how fearful have you become." She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her who it was.There was no way he'd be there, right in front of her. Right?She looked up at him and bit her lips, as his handsome face came to view.She grabbed the mug tightly glaring at him.He had made her life a fucking hell and she hated him for it.She never got to have a mundane high school life and it was all because of him."You're not excited to see me." He said, sighing as he turned to the others behind him."Scram."That was all

Chapter 4Ashley could have sworn that she never thought she could do what she did.She had slapped him and he had that expression that said; I'll kill you today.She was not afriad of herself but that of her mother also.He was a bastard.A cursed devil that would do everything in his power to make sure her face winced with pain and hurting her mother would do him good.She watched him clenched his fist and sighed.He took a step front and she took one back.She saw the men staring at her as if she'd grown another head.His name was Mikhail Mazza, he didn't hit women doesn't mean he didn't order for their death.With everything he had done to her, she could label him a murderer and much more, after all, he was the Country's Kingpin.She didn't know much about the Mafias but hell she had seen things with her eyes.She knew how the local Mafia operated.The deaths, the fear, the dread, the ins and out.He grabbed her hand and dragged her to himself before turning to the stairs and he c

Chapter 6The morning sun was shining more brightly than ever, as Ashley rinsed the dress she had washed.Her hands looked pale and white and her fingers were aching due to the number of clothes she had washed.After the building washing machine broke down, clothes were heaped and she hated the fact that her clothes were the worst of them all.She'd walk both day and night and time was not on her side, it had never been.Sandra walked out to the backyard of their apartment.Thankfully, they had taken the Lower part of the building and so they had a large space in the backyard for cleaning and washing."Today," Sandra said and sighed."Hmm, today," Ashley answered, knowing full well what she was talking about.Heaving a deep breath, Ashley cracked her hands and began hanging the clothes on the rope.It was for her mother! Only for her mother!The woman had gone through a lot and doing this would be the best way to repay her.There was no way, she'd let her mother go like that! No way a

Chapter 8Ashley got down from the car.She felt sick to her stomach as she looked at the door."You're not going to fly in Ash, you'll have to walk," Mikhail said, and he hissed.She didn't like the guy, not even one bit.She wanted nothing more but to hit his head with a machete till he would die screaming.She would keep to herself till they were married.She fúçking hated him!"It's a fucking mutual feeling." He said, smiling at her but she said nothing.Ashley Crook was determined to make him pay.Pay for the days he'd bullied her at high school.Pay for the day, he'd make her feel like shit, as he fucked some girl in the girl's bathroom, with the door open.He'd pay for the days, she left the school crying in the rain.He'd surely pay for all that, sooner or later."You look like an ugly pumpkin, try to smile and look better no one would judge." He said and she didn't say a word.Recalling those things was making her eyes well.She was not supposed to cry for someone like him.H

Chapter 10He made to move and she turned around, moving to the path that lead to the small patio at the other end of the first floor.He frowned, moving forward till there was no place for her to run to.Ashley should have known that he was a monster and if he'd want something, he was bound to get it.He was God, and she'd come to respect that.He hated when she challenged him and loved it as well.It always gave him the power to fight and still, he'd win.There was nothing called power-pull when it came to Ashley.He loved the fight she offered him, cause no other person did.Men would always cower and there was nobody to challenge him but with the woman that he was staring at, she was always ready to fight him knowing fully well he'd win and she would be rendered helpless.Clicking his tongue, he raised his fingers to touch her hair as he trapped her on the wall."Ash....you always intrigue me." He murmured."It's Ashley for you." She gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes
