Chapter 6

Max's POV 

I could see the worried expression on Ashley's face, as she watched the maid leave. 

“Don't worry I will take care of her. You don't need to worry, she isn't going to say anything,” I tried to calm Ashley who was already panicking like a scary cat. 

I held her hands trying to pull her closer to continue with our romantic moment, but she kicked my hands off, and hurried upstairs.

“Ashley! Ashley!! Where are you going sexy?!” I tried calling her back but she ignored me. 

“Shit! Damn it!” I exclaimed. The maid has ruined the nice moment we could have had. I was already so horny, but couldn't do anything about it.

I didn't sleep with the girl I brought home. I couldn't do anything with her, as the thought of Ashley flooded my head. I can’t stop thinking about that night. I have never felt this way before. Other girls no longer interest me, all my body yearns for was Ashley. 

Whenever I try to have s*x with other girls, I stop along the line, leaving them angry and damn horny. Ashley was all I wanted. I don't just want to have s*x with Ashley, but I want her all to myself. I know it may sound crazy but that's how I truly feel. 

I don't know how I am going to make her mine, but one thing I know for sure, is that she doesn't love my father. Richard had given her a life. He picked her from the slum and transformed her life. Besides he is a wealthy billionaire with power so who wouldn't want to be his wife. Although he's too old for her.

I know Ashley is with Richard because of his wealth and all he has done for her. That's why she can't leave him, but I am going to change that. It may sound crazy, because I don't have the kind of wealth my father has, but I am going to make Ashley my woman.

I don't care about any other things, other than making Ashley mine. Moreover, Richard can find himself any lady he wants, he has always been able to get his way in people's lives. He ruined my relationship with my ex fiance, Doris years ago.

I couldn't forget the sharp pain I felt the day I had introduced Doris to the family for the first time as the woman I want to marry, only for me to find out Dad and Doris had a thing in the past. 

They've had s*x multiple times in the past, when Doris was still working as a bartender in a local bar. The thought of it broke me, I knew it wasn't dad's fault and I still loved Doris and wanted to proceed with the marriage, but dad refused. 

He ruined me and Doris’ relationship. He paid Doris off to leave me, and she accepted the offer, leaving me broken. What could I have done, he got the money and thinks he can get whatever he wants and do whichever way he pleases, but this time around I will not let him have his way. 

Ever since Doris left me, I haven't been able to love again. I became a player and started womanising. I never took any lady seriously. I just wanted s*x with no strings attached, but everything changed after that one night with Ashley. 

She captured my heart. I felt more like me again. The lover guy of years back, and because of Ashley I am able to love again. Ashley is an angel and am not going to let dad have her. 

Am not willing to let him get what he wants, not because I want revenge, but because I love Ashley and want her all to myself even if it means ruining their wedding. And yes, if this is the only way I can pay dad back for what he did to me, I am ready to grab the opportunity. Am not giving up on Ashley and I know she's attracted to me, I just need time to make her fall crazily in love with me to the extent she can't resist me.

ASHLEY'S POV 

I don't know what happened to me. I couldn't resist Max. I kissed him first, my body yearned for him. I want him all to myself. I want him inside of me. 

I can't seem to get that kiss off my head. It brought memories of the passionate night we had together. I don't know what would have happened if the maid didn't show up. Perhaps we would have had sex right there at the dining. It would have been crazy, as Richard would have caught us. 

The thought of being caught by Richard, brought me back to reality. I quickly stood up and paced around the room, thinking if I should approach the maid and pay her off to keep quiet about what she saw. 

Max had said he would take care of it, but I don't trust him at all. Who knows if his plan was for Richard to find out about us. He seems to want to ruin me and Richard, but I won't let him.

I can't afford to lose Richard. He got everything I wanted, even though I know he's too old for me. It doesn't matter if I truly love him or not, all that matters is that he does and is ready to take care of me and give me what I want, unlike Max. 

Max doesn't have the wealth, power and the security I need. He is still a puppet that feeds from his father. He doesn't even have a job, all he has is his father's wealth. He is nothing without Richard. He isn't my type.

 I don't know if what I feel for Max is love, or I just want to have sex with him, because he is good. I can't get the thought of that night off my head no matter how hard I try. I easily get turned on whenever I see him and can't seem to resist him.

“You have to try Ashley, else you will ruin everything. You know how dangerous Richard can be, and what he is capable of doing if he finds out you and Max had a thing, talk more of him being the father of your unborn child,” a strong voice whispered from within. 

I understood what my mind was telling me. I have to try everything possible to stay far away from Max, else something might happen between us again and it wouldn't be easy for me to resist him at all. 

I snapped off my thoughts when I heard a car horn. I hurried towards the curtain to find out who it was. Richard is back. My heart skipped as I watched the maid walk towards him to take his suitcase from him. I became scared as they both conversed.

“What could they possibly be talking about,” I wondered. I quickly left the room and hurried downstairs to welcome him. I didn't want the maid anywhere close to him. I was scared she was going to say something to him.

“Hey Richard. You're welcome,” I greeted as I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him passionately. I caught the maid looking at us, but she quickly turned her gaze as I glared at her. 

“Won't you go and drop the suitcase,” I ordered, my voice laced with irritation and resentment. 

She quickly left to the room, while I turned to Richard, “You are back so early, hope everything is fine,”

“Yeah. I just missed my princess, so I had to hurry back,” he said, staring at me seductively. I already know what it means when Richard gives me that look. 

I used my eyes to search for Max as we made our way upstairs, but didn't catch a glimpse of him. I guess he has left the house. 

Richard couldn't hold on any longer as he quickly pulled me closer and slammed the door immediately the maid dropped the suitcase and left. He kissed me all over, whilst trying to undress me. He tore my dress and dipped his hands into my pants and fingered me. I let out a loud moan as he handled me roughly. 

One thing I never liked about Richard is the way he handles me whenever we are having sex. He was always rough, and whenever I try to get him to calm down, it gets worse. Richard is a sex addict, can't stop till he gets satisfied even if the other person is. 

I had tolerated his sexual cravings, without complaining. He was my first man and the person that broke my virginity. I didn't know I could enjoy sex other ways, since he was the only man that has ever touched me, until I met Max. My sexual preference and desire changed. Max made me feel more like a woman. He has wild fantasies and knows how to handle me to my satisfaction. 

I forced myself to act like I am deriving pleasure when having sex with Richard, but I don't. I can only feel pleased when I think of him as Max. The thought of that wild night is still stuck in my head. 

Richard was about to replace his fingers with his dick, when we heard a loud knock on the door. We ignored it, but it became louder. 

“Who's that?” Richard asked in a harsh tone as he halted.

“It's Max,” 

My heart skipped as I heard the name. What does he want? Why is he here? What's he up to?
