Ashley
I couldn't think straight, I could feel my head already feeling heavy, how could I make such a mistake? I wasn't thinking, that fucking stranger had me so wrapped around his finger that I thought about him all through the day I came back forgetting to take after pills, and now he's gone leaving me to deal with this alone.
I looked at my stomach and sighed, I couldn't believe a cute being is growing inside of me, a smile formed on my face as I imagined how cute he or she will look, definitely the unknown stranger is mad handsome that I could say for sure.
I wanted to cross the road, maybe take a walk down Nelly's coffee shop. I need to tell her my situation or I might go crazy with thinking.
Yea….Nelly's the only friend I have here in LA though I do avoid her but she does everything to make sure we keep in contact. I might not say this to her face but she means a lot to me.
I was still trying to cross the road when a taxi suddenly stopped right before me
"Where mam?"
"Street 44" I answered and entered, thanking my stars, the sun is already much. I was probably thinking of how to cross that damn road.
The taxi drove off, and suddenly it dawn on me, the inside of the car is fucking cool, my eyes roam the inside of the car immediately and gosh, this is not a taxi, probably the latest Lamborghini truck
My breath hitched, as my heartbeat begins to thumb at a high speed
"Don't tell me I've been kidnapped" I whispered in fear as I covered my mouth with my palms
"Who…who….sent you?" I stuttered in fear as my eyes become glassy with tears
"I don't want to die yet I've not even seen my twins" I muttered panting in fear
"Don't worry ma, boss said I should make sure you get home safely"
My heart calmed a little bit but not totally, what if he's lying
"Who's your boss?" I ask
"Don't worry ma, you're safe with me" He said and turned giving me one of his cutest smiles, which calmed me down
"Okay," I said and held on to my chest trying to steady my breathing.
It didn't take long before he stopped in front of Nelly's Cafe, quickly without being told, I climb down fast and handed him a ten-dollar note
"Sorry ma, just doing my job" He smiled
"Who's your boss?" I ask looking around
"It's a secret " He winked at me and drove off at a high speed. I sighed and put back the money in my purse
I wasn't surprised when I entered the Cafe to see it's quiet and not filled with many people, its afternoon hit afternoon already no many people come at this hour,
"Make sure to put down today's record" I heard Nelly's voice,
I sat on the counter, already tired and feeling sleepy
"Fuck! You scared the shit out of my system" She giggled happily holding her chest, guess she's happy seeing me
"You look pale, are you sick?" She asks checking out my temperature
"It would have been better if I'm sick" I murmured, guess she heard it
"Eiyyyy….be positive" She groans punching me slightly
"I think I'm in a mess," I said tears trickling down my eyes
"Shit Ashley what happened?" She asks in panic drawing her chair closer
Nelly is the only one that knows the nature of my job, she never for one day makes a mockery of me, instead, she understands and respects my decision.
"I'm pregnant"
"Fuck! How did it happen?" She asks standing up
"You remember the stranger I told you about the last time I visited the club?"
"Yes…your cute unknown stranger" She emphasizes
"That's it, guess I was carried away by fantasy and forgot to take my after pill
" What do I do?" I said close to tearing up as I facepalm myself.
"Ohh…..my come here" She came towards me hugging me to herself,
"He or she it's a blessing, you're keeping the child"
"But…" I made to say, but Nelly stepped back and sat in front of me, she took hold of my two hands
"What if this child is a blessing from God?"
"Can God bless a sinner like me?" I ask in tears
"God is so merciful and we're just humans we don't have the right to judge, God is the only one to do that"
"So you think I'm doing the right thing by keeping the baby?"
"Definitely" She giggles
"Why are you so happy?" I ask
"Gosh I can't believe I will be an aunt soon"
My smile faded when she made that statement
"Come on why are you sad?, we are supposed to be celebrating" She pouted her lips making her look cute, I was tempted to laugh, but I still have one more news to break to her, I don't know how she's going to react
"I have something else to tell you"
"I'm listening," She said with a serious face, sitting down
"I'm leaving Los Angeles"
"What!!!?, why?" She screamed
"Come on bring down your voice" I hush looking around
"Don't tell me you're leaving me behind"
"I need a fresh start, Nelly, Los Angeles has so many bad memories that I want to forget
"Where are you going then?"
"London"
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow"
"What so….soon?" She yelled
"Calm down lower your voice, someone might hear you"
"So why are you telling me just now"
"Listen Nelly I found out I was pregnant today too, I don't know but I can't stay any more days here, I need to leave this place"
"Are you afraid of anything?"
"How do you know," I ask her
"Tell me" She urged
"I don't know for some reason I think I'm been followed"
"Since when did you start feeling way"
"Recently," I said, but damn I noticed Nelly shift uncomfortably
Nelly's phone rang and she excused herself to take the call. I stood up to get myself a cup of cappuccino when I saw a man in black tuxedo leaving through the back at a fast pace.
AshleyI was done packing my bags, I can't believe after such a long time, years and everything I'm finally going to leave this place, I could remember my first time in this house. This place became a home for me. It gave me shelter and became my peace of mind. But fortunately, I'm going to be leaving that home today, probably everything happens for a reason.Taking one last look at my room, I pulled down my strolling bag. As I started strolling it outside, I already called my taxi driver. His face changed when I walked outside with my big bag, and handbag. He came out and helped me put the bag in the car trunk.I wanted to enter when I felt like I'm being followed, this is the feeling I've been having recently, I consciously look over my shoulders but when I didn't see anybody, I calm down concluding maybe it's the pregnancy hormone"Ma are you leaving?" The old man who has been like my friend and also a taxi driver askI sighed not knowing how to break the news to him, probably he w
AshleyThe car pulled into a very big mansion catching me off guard, I wanted to climb down the car but he caught me off when he carried me out of the car, I wanted to protest, but for some unknown reason I found myself blushing and hiding my face in his chest. I could hear a series of greetings from his guards and maid but I dared not raise my head up.Many questions were popping up in my head already like "What does he do for a living?" "How can someone be so fucking rich?"I felt him dropping me on something soft, I look down to see its a couch, looking around a scream nearly tore from my mouth on seeing the interior decoration of this building"This is parading" I muttered not knowing I was loud"You like it!" He asks me to clear my throat and adjust on my seat.I cleared my throat, I have a lot of questions I want to ask him this time around"Why didn't you show up after what happened?" I ask folding my two hands below my boobs"Leave us…." He authoritatively said to his guard
Ashley BrooklynI finally let my tears flow immediately after he left the room, my legs feels shaky as they wobble on the floor, I couldn't stand anymore, slowly I held onto the bed as I lowered on itDifferent thoughts were running through my mind,"Why is he suddenly like this?" His words are so hurting, so heartbreaking that for the first time in years I was forced to judge my actions. Damn I've been through hell, he has no right to judge me "He's nobody" I yelled in tears, clinging onto the sheet, "He's nobody to judge me" These were the words I continued to whisper to myself. I was in pain, "He's a monster, he has no conscience" I screamed, not minding if I'm alone or not. My heart has been smashed to pieces, my hopes have been shatteredHow could I have thought that a client would ever love a stripper like me, once again he showed me he's like others, just after my body and nothing elseI coiled myself in a bun, I used a stripper but he didn't have to rub it on my face, he
AshleyI felt someone pulling the sheet off my body, I cling to the shit tightly not opening my eyes"Go away" I muttered sleepily turning to the other side of the bed, I was still sleeping when the fresh aroma of mashed potatoes hit my nose, making me lick my tongue unconsciously"Kitten…wake up" I heard that familiar voice followed by a kiss on my forehead, My frown deepened as I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see Nicklaus wearing apron with a tray of food in his handI sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes sleepily. I looked around and released. I'm now back in our room. My mind raced back to what happened yesterday, I remembered sleeping off in Nanny proller's arm after Nicklaus kicked me out of the room with his mistress"Good morning kitten" He gritted, dropping the food on the table, he bent to kiss my lips but I turned away making the kiss land on my cheeks"Kitten…" He frowns"How did I get here?" I ask cutting him off, I watch as he scratches his hair with a guilty expression
Ashley The drive was short as his company wasn't that far, I drove into the company and parked at the parking lot before coming down"Wow……" I was shocked looking at the massive building, every part of the building is glassy, I walk into the building and saw the receptionist"How can I help you ma?" She asks with a happy face looking at me"I came to give my husband his lunch" I muttered happily"Okay who….?'' "Nicklaus the CEO""What…?" She asks looking confused"I'm his wife," I said, "Any problem?" "No…not at all take the elevator by the end side, it takes you to his office""Thanks" "You're welcome" I walk towards the elevator where was written"CEO PRIVATE" I walk into the elevator and waited, as it takes me up, it beeped and opened, I came out and look at the extreme to see a glass door which has the CEO at the top, I walk towards it and it opened immediately I stood in front of it.I walked in, only to see a lady sitting on Nicklaus's lap, he held onto her waist as they m
Rex povI was coming to see Nicklaus to give him the update we needed for the Chinese contract, I was surprised to see him pushing Ashley, she nearly fell if not that I caught her halfwayI watched as Nicklaus taunted and called her names and that really broke my heart, right now I'm with Ashley driving her down to her friend's Cafe shop since she said she's too heartbroken to go back to Nicklaus's house at the momentI watch as she cried inside the car, looking at the lady before me, I could only see one thing and that's a strong woman, a lady who has been through shit and still came out strongFuck! She might be an ex-stripper but she got her pride and her reason, not everybody wanted that life and Nicklaus knows that he's only allowing the past to cloud his sense of judgment I hope it won't be too late before he realizes thisFor peter's sake he's madly in love with this same lady he's treating like shit "I'm sorry Ashley, I'm sorry that you have to see this side of Nicklaus" I mu
NellyI watch as my best friend breaks down in tears in front of me, my heart shattered into a billion pieces, I watch as she shivers while telling me about Nicklaus's true identity and what he has been putting her throughHeck! I couldn't take it anymore, Ashley used to be a strong woman, she was so confident that no man was able to break through her walls, I was worried, so worried that my friend was never going to come out of her shackles and then she decided to her job after her last clientI was happy, so happy that my joy knew no bounds, I wanted her to see more to life apart from that strip club, I thought that maybe when she's finally out of there she can see that the world is colorful to be too uptightShe came back after her last client, everything suddenly changed, she fell in love, she fell so hard that she became fond of the unknown stranger she had a one-night stand with. My hopes were raised high. I was happy, finally, my friend's life is going to be adding some colors…
NicklausI couldn't concentrate on my office work, it's been one whole week since Ashley left my company with Rex and since then she hasn't come home, I decided to let her be but damn! It's driving me insaneRex said she's with her friend, and the last thing I want is to have another encounter with her friend, gosh! That woman is a lion.Her eyes alone can make you pee on your pants, but I can keep on doing this, I fucking miss her even though I can't voice it out to anyone. We just spent two days together and I've gotten used to her smiles except for the days I made her cry.I want to give in….fuck I want to show her the whole world, I want other women to kiss her feet while she passes, but I can't…..I can't let her know she's my weakness, I can't let her know how much I want her, I can't show her that I've craved her long agoI'm afraid I might lose her if I do that, for all I know women, will always be women they can never be trusted and I refuse to give in to that temptation, I c
