The next day, Hayley kept calling him to ensure that he was well. Ashton spent the entire day at home, not stepping out in case Antonio and his men grabbed hold of him. A nagging fear crept into his heart but he couldn’t hide for long. A simple phone call from an unknown number disrupted his mental peace. “Hello!” he croaked into the phone.“Pierce, come over immediately to Don's mansion. He wants to meet you,” said a male voice that was unfamiliar. Who could it be?“Who’s speaking?” he demanded agitatedly. “Kingsley here. You better turn up or I’ll capture your bi*ch.” He abruptly disconnected the call but Ashton couldn’t help the feeling of dread that crept into his heart. Why did Kingsley call him instead of Antonio? “Ashton, come over for lunch,” said Jodie Van Every. He went over to the dining table and found his Uncle Daniel watching the television. He sat down beside him and watched the news, too. “Justice for you, Ashton. This morning, the CBI captured Antonio Lombardi,

For the next few days, Hayley was busy with work. Her dad agreed to bail her out. By Wednesday, she was totally drained out when she remembered the list Sienna had asked her to buy. Henry drove her to the shopping mall, and she purchased to her heart's content, buying a few dresses for herself as well. What if Ashton agreed to accompany Alexander? She eagerly waited to meet him. It had been almost two weeks since he left and hadn’t contacted her since. She was dying to know about his welfare. Henry went to the parking area to dump the shopping bags while she shopped for the bridesmaid’s dress. Afterwards, she went to the washroom. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice Madison walk into the washroom with a scowl on her face, her eyes glued on her target. This was the only opportunity she would get. Having tailed Hayley for the last two weeks, it irked her immensely to see a bodyguard always with her. She wanted to get Hayley alone. She came to a stop right in f
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Fifty-Eight - Upset With Him
Everyone froze, since no one knew what would happen now. Hayley’s eyes flew towards Ashton’s and he winked, a sly smile spreading across his face. It made her instantly wary, as Madison’s words echoed in her head. It was true she wanted him to be here, but what if he was here to take her away? No, she wouldn’t leave without attending Sienna’s wedding. Lucas and Nicholas went forward to deal with their enemies while the others watched worriedly.“What brings you here, Alexander and Ashton?” asked Lucas, with a grave look on his face. “We won’t cause you any problems. We’ve just come to take away Alyssa, Eva, and Hayley,” said Alexander. “We’re not children that we will quietly go back with you, Alex,” said Alyssa defiantly. “We will return only after the wedding,” said Eva, her eyes challenging an angry Alexander, who looked angrier at her comment. “Sienna means more to us than your silly, immature enmity,” said Hayley, holding Ashton’s unwavering gaze. He raised an eyebrow at her
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Fifty-Nine - A Love Letter For Him
Ashton rushed after her, catching up with her. No, he couldn’t let her get away with misunderstanding him. With just one night to meet her, he couldn’t let the opportunity go. He was surprised that Madison had cornered her when she knew exactly where he was. He himself was at his wit’s end when he received her call stating that she was planning to move to Miami for him. She knew he was working in Hotel Bayview. He didn’t know how she found out when he hadn’t informed a soul! In fact, he hadn’t even switched on his old phone for fear of it being tapped. Her sudden phone call actually baffled him. How did she know his new number when he hadn’t even given it to Hayley? Everything was really confusing.Before Hayley could reach the cubicle elevator, he took longer strides and grabbed hold of her. “Let me go, Ashton,” she hissed angrily. “Never,” stated Ashton, picking her up on his shoulder and going back to her room. She struggled against his hold, but he didn’t release her. “Stop str
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty - Was This The End Of Her Love Story?
Ashton paced the terrace furiously as he spoke to the administrative staff of Hotel Bayview. “Why did you allow her inside my penthouse in my absence, Mr. David?” said Ashton, shocked by their behavior. When his administrative staff informed him that Madison had arrived there with her luggage, demanding to stay there, Ashton saw red. She claimed to be his fiancée, and they gave her access to his penthouse. It infuriated him since there was no trusting Madison. He didn’t want her to get access to any of his personal stuff. “She claimed to be your fiancée, and it was almost 2 o’clock in the night when she arrived, sir. We couldn’t call you to confirm.” “Give her a separate room immediately. She isn’t my fiancée and neither is she a good friend.” Ashton calmed down a little but he was in a rush to return to Miami now. He had to check if Madison had tampered with his personal stuff. Why else would she pull such a stunt when he had explicitly instructed her not to move to Miami? Conside
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-One - An Unexpected Confession
Hayley pulled her luggage out without acknowledging Ashton’s presence. His bipolar attitude confused her. She didn’t know what to think of his announcement anymore. So was it really in jest? Didn’t he have any feelings for her? What about the beautiful moments they shared? Were those fake too? Ashton followed her broodingly, warily looking around him. He knew the caretaker of the house was spying on them. After the wedding, when he and Alexander had gone to the pier to fix a ferry to take them back, he saw Bruce Kingsley’s assistant talking to Joe Symonds, the caretaker of the house. He offered Joe money to find out about Ashton and Hayley’s relationship. Ever since, Joe had been tailing him everywhere. Ashton remembered Bruce Kingsley’s threat. He knew the shrewd criminal wanted to capture Hayley just to get back at him. Therefore, the only way to save her was to show that he wasn’t interested in her. When he saw her, he had momentarily forgotten his predicament and kissed her but
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-Two - Confronting Madison
“Ms. Barclay, I think a black Cadillac is following us all the way from the airport.” Hayley was instantly on high alert. She knew they had been tailing Ashton since they left the pier. So were they now after her life?“They’re the mafia don, Salvatore Gambino’s men, Mr. Stewart. They were after my boyfriend, and it seems they’re after me as well.” Henry Stewart nodded and called the police for protection. He briefly explained the situation and within minutes, two police patrol cars appeared from nowhere and started chasing the Cadillac. Henry picked up speed and negotiated through the traffic, eager to get home. The Cadillac disappeared into a by-lane, giving up the chase, and Hayley breathed a sigh of relief. This time she was saved, but for how long? Mafia people were a dangerous breed who didn’t give up so easily. They would surely capture her by hook or by crook. “This doesn’t look good, Ms. Barclay. I think you should stay at home for a while until this dies down. I will have
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-Three - Gambino Is Dead
Ashton gaped at the woman in front of him, as if seeing her for the first time. Her admission completely had him dumbfounded. While he had been wondering about the elusive Francesca, the cause of all his troubles, she was right there in front of him all the time. Every part of the jigsaw puzzle fell into place. No wonder her father’s men were ready to kill him every time she was jealous of Hayley. “What the f*ck? So you are Francesca Gambino, the root cause of my problems? It was because of you that Antonio abducted me, broke my bones, and abandoned me on a deserted beach. It was because of your jealousy that Gambino’s men are chasing me everywhere. Don’t fu*king call yourself my savior. I can’t believe that I associated with a criminal's daughter!” he groaned in agony while Francesca looked hurt by his allegations. “You know what? You’re the biggest as*hole I’ve ever met. I won’t protect you anymore from now on. My dad was right. You don’t deserve my love. You deserve to die. Goodb
