Chapter 4
Ashley 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 continued with the dragging.She was not bothered about his hand but the fact that he could strangle her to death and her poor mother would be the one to suffer it or he would send the thugs to go get some broken bones done to her mother's already broken self.He wasn't after all, a human. So he was well capable of doing those.They got to his office and he pushed her in and got in as well.She sighed and chuckled."So what now?" She had tried to act strong.Her eyes bored his and he chuckled."You see, you think there's a chance out of this but there's not. You either give in to me or you die, there's no need to act strong and all Ash." He said, his hand going to her neck but he didn't press.He held her there, showing her that she had no control.He was the one In control and he could do whatever he dim fit with her."Don't touch my mother." She mumbled.She had planned it well but it failed.It was supposed to be a no emotion thing and a blank face but no..She had that crying helpless face she hated the most.She had seen women in the town, scared like shit. Unable to leave and walk around the town due to the fact that they were scared.Scared that someone would molest and hit them when ever they wanted.She hated the fact that she had to listen and watch those shits.She was not that strong but she had learned a lot of Taekwondo and she was not going to back down if a man initiated a fight."You seem like someone who is ready to blow my heads out, which got me wondering why?" He smiled and she frowned.Was he kidding her?He was the asshole, the wizzard, the monster and the curse on her part and hell she'd never want anything to do with him.She was regretting the fact that she had gone to him for help! How could she?"Your mother.."He began and she turned to him, curiosity filled her up and she frowned."What about her?" She asked, glaring at him and he smirkedWhen it came to her mother she was willing to do it all but not to succumb to his wishes."Your mother Ashley was transferred to the Ashwood Grey's Hospital this evening, her surgery will be done once your sign the contract." He said, and her eyes widened.He tighten his hand on her neck and released again."What?" She blinked, with dropped jaw.Ashwood Grey was the best in the country.It was the best where you go sick and come out healthy.Many said they performed miracles there and there was a monk who healed people.She didn't care about that.What she cared was the fact that her mother had been transferred there and would be given treatment once she sighed the goddamn contract.How the hell did she gets transferred without her knowing.Her phone buzzed and she made to bring out the pocketed phone but he stopped her."You see you can..."Let me pick the.."Shut up!" He didn't yell, wasn't angered when he said it.It was just two simple words and he did say it and she looked up at him as if he could kill."Shut up." He said it, as if to confirm to her he did say it.She kept silent, watching him with her hawk eyes.If he made any slightest way with her, she would hit him and hell she would not care about death."You see, just a flick of my finger Cara Mia and your mother would not even be back to the hospital, she would be home on the bed with you tending to her already broken self." She made to struggle but he held her in place.The grip was not strong, not strangling her but she was glaring at him."It's your call Cara Mia, you know like before I can make you cry your eyes out while watching you trying to act strong and fight me.. knowing fully well that you would not win. Don't resist the inevitable." He said and she hipcupped.She was crying.He let of go of her neck and she sniffed."I hate you. I really detest you so much Mikhail." She said, and he nodded."Trust me baby, it's mutual." He said.She was the second person calling him his name. He let her.There was no stopping her, she seemed like a mad woman."Think about this Cara Mia, before you send all your love ones to the grave early.. I'll be waiting for you." He whispered the last part as he grabbed her hand and took her out of the office."Go cry at home!"TBCChapter 5Her eyes were blurry as she sat on the back seat of the long bus.She held her backpack close to her chest, and wiped the tears.Mikhail Mazza was a monster.She hated him, she hated everything about him.She sniffed and stepped down from the bus as It got to her bus stop.The road was lonely unlike before.She walked slowly till she got home.The apartment was no place to be called home.She hated it. Hated the stench.Everything about the room pissed her off.She walked to the only chair that was in the room and sat down.She wanted out. She wanted out of the poverty she was in.She had seen men and women thrive hard to become a success and she loved that.She had tried too, but it didn't work out for her, never did and now she was stuck with that monster who would derive pleasure in seeing her rot to death, not that she cared less.The door knob turned and Sandra walked in."Hey." She smiled and the other girl sighed."Amy says she can't loan at the moment, got some thing
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 7"When you do this there's no turning back." He said and she nodded.Ashley knew what she was getting herself into.She knew they task ahead and his words would not shake her again.Few days ago she would die than sign the papers but here she was ready to fill the paper and get it done with."Just so you know Ash, I should tell you what I would do to you if you sign his papers." He said, and she kept quiet.Ashley knew he what he was up to.There was no way he'd give her such a contract without a reason."Can I ask a question?" She asked, staring at him.He loved her confidence, her braveness.Was it braveness or foolishness?He would soon break down the boldness she has and leave her calling to him for help."You just did." He said and she rolled her eyes."Stop doing that." He cautioned and she did it again."Why a child? Why do you need a child and why do I have to be the one to birth it?" She asked, and he snorted."Well well well, look who thinks she's special." He chuck
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 9I'm so sorry guys, for the last repeated chapters. Network is fluctuating badly.•••Ashley got down from the car.., sniffed, rubbing her nose.She watched as he stepped down as well, throwing the key at the man that walked closer to them.His mansion was extraordinary like she had thought it would be.Would she stay here with him? Or would he find her a quiet place to stay when she gets pregnant? At least that was what the dramas and novels acted."How many times do I have to invite you in Ash or is it that you love me calling your name so much." He said and she scoffed."What I'm I doing here? I just signed it Mikhail..the least you could do is wait for a day or maybe for me to visit my family and pay them a farewell visit." She said and he huffed."There's no need for that Ash, you and I know that there's no reason..no fucking reason for that. Your mother and your sister are better off without you." He said.She frowned."There's no need to blame you, you don't even know
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
Chapter 11"Isn't this what you wanted?" Ashley asked, standing before him.His eyes flickered and he smiled."You're getting bold Ashley." He mumbled, his eyes not leaving her upper body."If you're talking, you might wanna look at my face and it's right here not there." She said, pointing towards her breast and he nodded.He stood up and walked towards her.Ashley was already giving out evenly breath.What if he decided to bend her over and had his way with her.She was a virgin and she had lied to him.She had heard about first time and she had never heard anything good about it."You look scared Ash but somehow that little mouth just don't want to stop talking." He said."Tell me Ash, what do you want me to do? Bend you over this chair and fuck the senses out of you or push you to that bed and make sure you'll surely coming be for more?"Ashley didn't want to admit it to herself as well.His gaze was captivating and she hated the fact that she was picturing what he was saying."Wh
Chapter 12 Ashley sighed, the room was indeed large and she liked it.She shouldn't be liking anything about him but the room didn't bully her, did it?Swallowing, she walked into the bathroom and opened the door.Oh wow, just like she had expected..the bathroom was perfect.A bright Jacuzzi tub, a shower, and a breathtaking view from the small window she could see if she lay on the tub.She liked it.She quickly walked to the door and shut it lock three times before grabbing the knob and pushing.When she was sure that the door would never bulge..she smiled and walked to the bathroom again, taking every piece of clothing from her body.She got into the soapy tub and sighed.Damn, it was nice!She smiled, raising her hand and opening the window to view the world from where she lay.This was one of the things she wanted her mother to enjoy and she would.The weather was already getting colder indicating that she would get out of the tub and she did.Press the button for the water to
