At eleven o'clock, Kyle reached Branden's mansion with Liam. As he entered through the main gate, Elijah's butler welcomed him."Welcome, young master. Elijah Sir has directed that I show you a room once you arrive."This way, please," the butler said respectfully as he led Kyle to his room."Where is your sir, and the rest of the members?" Kyle asked, looking around."Young master, the ladies go to the salon while the gents are busy making preparations." Kyle nodded and moved ahead, with Liam following the butler.Once they reached inside, the butler said, "Young master, your suit and everything you need for a wedding is in the closet." If you need anything else or any help, then please call me." The butler bowed his head and took his leave."They are busy with their so-called preparations, so it's the right time to save Elisa." Before Elijah would know of her absence, We have to save Aunt Sara also, and what about Uncle Mattew."Liam exclaimed, looking out of the window.Without answe
"No, let's go. We have to go from here. Otherwise, they will kill you too. No, they can't." Sara was in her own thoughts. Kyle jerked her through the shoulder."Mom, will you please tell me what you are saying? Who did this to you? Is it dad or Elijah?" Kyle was losing his wit."Your dad, he he." No Kyle, let's run from here. Where is Elisa? We have to find her. We have to go from here, otherwise they will kill us like they killed her." Sara looked manic."They killed her. But who?" "That Angelina Branden. They killed her for this property, and now they will kill you. But no, you're my son. You're my Kyle, and I'll save you." Sara hugged him and broke into tears, remembering the conversation she had overheard. Her legs turned jelly and she sat on the floor. Kyle supported her, otherwise she would have fallen."Mom, will you please tell me? I have to know everything because only then would I be able to save all of us." Kyle cupped her face. Sara looked at Kyle with so much love and ad
"Do you think I'll buy your words?" Kyle raised his brow at him."Let me go. I didn't do anything." Elijah joined his hand in front of him. Kyle smirked, witnessing his helplessness."Isn't it amazing to feel helpless? You know, I've been leaving you for the past few years just because I didn't want to dirty my hands with your blood. You forced this day on yourself by kidnapping Elisa and then blackmailing me. You shouldn't have done this." Kyle shook his head and pursed his lips."But you agreed to marry Sophia on your will." No one forced you back when you had your engagement. Then what happened now that you changed your decision? " "Elijah?" he asked as he looked towards his gun that was placed a few inches away from him on the ground.Kyle stood up. He stepped backwards as he remembered his love, his life, his wife."I agreed to marry her just because of my family." Kyle uttered as his attention was diverted towards his pocket, where the pendant was present. He touched it over the
Six years later,Las VegasAt 10pmKyle sat cosily in the chair in his office. His office was on the top floor of Enchant, the company famous for textiles and jewellery. The blinking of Vegas in the dark behind his back was clearly visible from his office. He was puffing the cigar as his heart throbbed in his chest as he looked up at the pendant Ashlyn left for him.It's been six years of solitude and loneliness. He tried everything to find her, but he couldn't. He thought it would be easy to find her after he settled everything regarding Elijah's issues, but he couldn't. His parents' deaths were a great blow to him. He went to see James a week after their deaths because he was the last person Ashlyn spoke to.But he refused to say anything. Kyle tried to trace his cell phone number also, but he found nothing. He used every means he could but got nothing. In the end, he was alone. Six damn years without her, without anyone in his life. He engaged himself in the work. He gave all his tim
Ashlyn got off the car outside Davies Villa. She looked at the house that used to be her safe place seven years ago. It's been seven years since she came there. She remembered how Caroline and Amanda threw her out the last time she came here after getting destroyed.Unwittingly a tear escaped from her eyes."What happened? "Let's go!" James exclaimed, taking Zayn in his arms. Ashlyn shook her head as she wiped off her tears and followed James.She reached inside the villa. In the hall, the dead body of William was placed. Caroline was wiping beside him. Ashlyn took slow steps as she approached William's body. She didn't think that she would meet her big brother like that."I'm sorry Ashlyn. I'm so sorry." Caroline touched Ashlyn's feet as she sat on the ground besides William's body."What are you doing, sister-in-law?" Ashlyn tried to pull her away from her feet."No, it's my punishment for throwing you from your own home." I was wrong. That's why God snatched away my William from me.
Ashlyn took slow steps and moved towards her bed. She sat beside Zayn and kissed his forehead. "I won't let you go," she said, kissing his knuckles as tears cascaded down her cheeks.She was crying when Amanda came inside."He left. James said that the little boy was our distant relative. You don't need to worry." Ashlyn nodded her head, but the tears didn't stop. She didn't know the tears were because of Zayn or Kyle. Amanda put her hand on her shoulder."Your son won't go away. James won't let it happen." Amanda's voice was soft. Ashlyn kissed Zayn's little hands and covered him with the blanket. She wiped her tears and looked at her."Thank you," "I'm sorry," Amanda said politely. It was difficult for Ashlyn to digest her tone, but she was not the old Ashlyn who would get affected. She was a stronger version of herself. She didn't care about tones anymore. "It's alright," Ashlyn said, putting a light smile on her face."I'm really sorry. I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have d
Ashlyn ran out of the store and hopped into her car. "How could you lose yourself in front of him?" She hit her hands on the steering wheel."How could you let him?" She closed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. "No, I won't let him destroy me again." I won't let him affect me." She wiped her cheeks and turned on the engine of her Ferrari when she remembered Zayn."Zayn," she muttered. Her heart throbbed in her rib cage. "No, he can't find him." She got off her Ferrari and ran towards the store.After going inside, she looked here and there for him. She took a sigh of relief when she saw him, but the next moment she got scared when she saw him talking to Kyle."Hey, mister, you followed me here also." Zayn raised his brow at him."I can say the same thing, right?" Kyle exclaimed, bending to his level.After the slap of Ashlyn, he was in a trance for a minute, but when he came to his senses, he ran outside to find her, but before he could go, he bumped into someone, and that some
Next Day, Ashlyn woke up around 9 o'clock. Zayn didn't have to go school because today his school had a farewell function. Zayn didn't want to go so Ashlyn didn't force him. After getting ready around 10 o'clock, She dropped Zayn off at Davies Villa and went to the Enchant wearing white silk top and jeans. She directly went to her department."Good morning Miss. Lynn," her team members greeted her.Ashlyn nodded and moved towards her office when one of them spoke."Miss. Lynn, Sir Ethan has asked for you in his office." Ashlyn halted on her steps. She turned and looked towards them. She was late on her second day. She cursed herself inwardly but she was calm outside because they didn't assign her any project yet, so even if she was late. She thought it'd be alright."And his office is?" She asked, raising her eyebrow."On the 8th floor," the male team member replied with a shaky breath. Her beauty was not a cup of tea. Her hotness normal people couldn't take, especially a young boy l
