Chapter Fourteen: Where is my wife

"Why are you quiet now? If that news is really fake, then your perfect boss didn't say anything about that 5 years ago? Now don't tell me your boss didn't have time to tell you that this video was fake and that was being spread?

If this video and this news were really fake, then your boss would have protested at that time, but since he didn't protest, it means that this video is true and your boss cheated on his wife. Also, after that day, the news went viral: your wife died. Isn't it too much to be normal? Am I lying or saying something absurd, Mr. George? Anastasia looked at Arthur and asked innocently making his blood boil in anger.

Arthur looked at her as if he going to gulp her down and said, "You claimed in front of everyone at the grocery store with so much pride and confidence that the ring that Ashley had on her hand was our wedding ring and that I had put that ring on my wife's hand at the wedding. How can you say that with so much confidence? No one was present at our wedding except for very close people. And no journalists were invited to that event. No one knows what my wedding ring looks like, so how do you know it is my wife's ring?" Arthur finished speaking and looked at her sharply.

Hearing his words, Anastasia's face turned pale. She pretended not to know anything and immediately said, "What are you saying? I don't understand anything."

"You can't understand or you don't want to understand. I am telling you that what your action means is that you know my wife. It means that my wife is still alive and she told you these things. She is alive, isn't she?" Arthur asked her in a cold voice.

Although Anastasia was very nervous in her heart after hearing Arthur's words, she didn't show it in her facial expression. She still said sternly, "Did you drink before you came here? That is why you are talking nonsense now? Your wife, who died in an accident five years ago, comes here today saying she is alive. I think you have a problem in your head. If this spreads in the industry, that you have a problem in your head, then this news will not be good for your reputation at all, so treat yourself."

Arthur glared at her coldly, "Ashley is not my lover. And in future I don’t want to listen to bullshit." Upon hearing this Anastasia smiled sarcastically and clapped her hands, "Wasn't it too late to lie, Mr. George? There, your girlfriend proudly announcing that you proposed to her with your wife's ring, and here you are saying she is nothing to you. Are you toying with me like you did to your wife?"

Arthur's veins pooped out in anger. He glared at her coldly and spoke up in a venomous tone, "I am tolerating your nonsense just because you are new here and misunderstood the situation, but still, there is a limit to this. Don't cross it. Now I understand that day at the airport, you willingly crossed my path, and now you are spreading nonsense about me. If you're doing all this to get my attention then give up right away"

Anastasia smiled bitterly, "Don't think so high of yourself Mr. George. Even if you are the last man on earth I wouldn't want you. I don't like deceitful people like you. I have high standards and you don't fit in that. I like neat and clean people and you are far from it"

Arthur clenched his hands in anger and said, "You are very lucky that I don't raise my hand on girls otherwise the consequences of your behavior with me today would have been very terrible but make sure not to come in front of me aging because I am not going to show mercy on you next time" Saying this Arthur left from there.

After Arthur left, Anastasia didn't hesitate for a moment, entered the house, closed the door, and sat down, leaning against it. She started panting.

For a moment, she thought Arthur might find out her secret identity today. She sat like that for a while, then got up and started walking towards her room.

Arthur quietly entered the car without saying anything. Noah asked nervously, "Boss, do you want to go back to the office?" In response to his words, Arthur said in a heavy voice, "Take me to Ashley. I have something to talk to her." Hearing this, Noah's throat went dry.

When Arthur's car arrived in front of the building the driver stopped the car as he saw many reporters standing outside the gate, trying to enter, and the doorman and security guard together were holding them back with great difficulty.

"Mr. George, what should we do now?" Noah asked looking at the reporters.

Arthur looked at Noah and said, "Enter through the back door." As Arthur said, the driver entered through the back gate.

As he was getting out of the car, Arthur looked at his assistant and said, "There is no need to follow me. Stay in the car and keep an eye on the surroundings so that no one can follow me. And collect everything you can get on that girl," said this, he got out of the car.

Arthur already had an extra key to the apartment that Ashley had forced on him. Arthur never thought it would come in handy someday. When he opened the door and entered the apartment, he saw all the things in the apartment scattered around and Ashley was still shouting angrily and breaking things.

Seeing Arthur, Ashley immediately put the glass doll in her hand on the table and ran towards him and hugged him. "Arthur, that girl destroyed me and now everyone is boycotting me after hearing her false accusations. Everyone is leaving me thinking that I am a fraud. My reputation is completely ruined.

They are boycotting me and leaving. Please you have to save me. Please get me out of this situation. If you don't help me, my career will be completely ruined. That girl ruined me. I don't know why she did this. Why is she spreading lies about me when I haven't done anything wrong? You know I haven't done anything wrong. Please save me, otherwise my career and my life will be ruined, I will have nothing left."

Even after hearing her painful plea, Arthur was not moved at all; instead, he felt great annoyance. He pushed Ashley away as if she were dirt and asked in a cold voice, "Why do you have my wife's ring on your hand? Why do you have this ring? I didn't give you this ring, so why are you showing this ring in front of everyone and saying that I proposed to you with a ring? How dare you use my wife's ring without telling me? " Arthur glared at her coldly and asked in a bone-chilling tone. Hearing his words, Ashley's face turned completely pale.

Arthur, I didn't use this ring on purpose. I was thinking about Anastasia a lot today, so I went to your house and was looking at her things when I saw that her ring was dirty. I had brought it to wash and thought that I would put it back after washing. Today I brought the ring to the store to wash it. After that, I put it on my finger. I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't get me wrong here. Arthur, I already lost everything for that video. My family, my sister, and now my career are on the verge of destruction because of this video.

I can't lose anything more I don't want to lose anything else. I have nothing to lose except my career. If my career is destroyed now then I will lose my last purpose of living. You know how hard I tried to eliminate this misunderstanding, but in the end, I lost everything. You know I have many enemies. They all want to destroy me.

Someone from the enemy must have sent that girl here to destroy me and ruin my career. I am sure if you ask the girl, she will be scared and tell you everything. You can fix everything. I know this. Please help me out, Arthur," Ashley said while crying and tried to act innocent in front of Arthur as much as possible.

"The girl didn't behave with you because of someone else's words. You are the one who is most to blame for what happened to you today. Because of you, everyone in the industry thinks that you and I have a romantic relationship. I never said anything even after knowing this, but not anymore. I want you to admit the whole truth. Come to live and confess it in front of your fans that you don't have a romantic relationship with me.

Then things will be clear. Never go to my house without my permission and never touch anything that belongs to my wife." Arthur gave her a cold shoulder and spoke up mercilessly.

Hearing her words, Ashley clasped her hands and said, "Please don't misunderstand me. I have no bad intentions. If you say that I will never touch your wife's things again, but don't take yourself away from me. I have no one else but you. You are my last family. If you leave me, I will be completely alone and I don't want to be alone. I can't live alone in this harsh world. Please help me find that girl and force her to confess to everyone about all the lies she has spread in my name. I beg you, Arthur. Please help me"

"I am telling you for the last time. No one sent that girl to ruin your career. You are alone to blame here" Ashley was shocked and looked at him and asked, "Did you meet that girl? What did she say? Arthur, what did you say? Who is she? What is her name?"

Ashley threw a question at him, one after one. She was so curious to know who the girl was.

"Who I meet or not is my personal matter. It is not your concern. You are the only one who can solve the situation you are in. Because of your behavior, everyone is forced to think that I have a romantic relationship with you. Because of your behavior, my reputation with you has become bad.

You know how embarrassing it is for me that everyone is talking about my character because of your rude behavior. I am helping you in everything, but it does not mean that I will let you tarnish my reputation. And you are not a small child who cannot live alone in this world. I have helped you fulfill your dreams. If you are afraid of being alone, you can keep a security guard for your safety.

You are not a child, so you will come to me and I will help you. I am not your nanny, Ms. Smith. I have helped you enough not more. Now you have to choose your path." Saying this, Arthur took off the ring from Ashley's hand and left.

Ashley started screaming at him to stop, but Arthur didn't even look back at her.

As soon as Arthur left, Ashley started screaming again, then she ran inside her apartment and called someone on her phone. As soon as the person on the other end of the phone answered, Ashley shouted and asked him, "Who did Arthur meet today? Did he meet any girls today?"

Upon hearing her, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, he went to a girl's house today to meet her. He spent some time here and came out. The girl's name is Anastasia."

As soon as Ashley heard this, she froze in her place. She couldn't believe his ears. She asked him again in disbelief, "What did you say the girl's name was?"

"Her name is Anastasia and after Mr. Arthur left, I saw that girl leaving the house with three children. I think they are the girl's kids" The man said to her

After hearing these words, Ashley's head started spinning. Then she started thinking about the words that girl told her at the grocery store. "She knows all the information about me. All this information is not supposed to be known by an ordinary person. So, is my guess correct? Is she back?" Ashley started trembling with fear.

"Mr. George came out of that house very angry. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he could not achieve the purpose he went there to achieve." Hearing the man's words, Ashley gasped and said, "Send me the pictures of that girl and her children immediately, and keep an eye on them. Now you don't have to keep an eye on Arthur and follow him anymore.

You will follow that girl until I give you further instructions and send me news of her every movement. I want to know their every news." Ashley ordered him.

"Okay miss, I will keep an eye on that girl first and take their pictures and send them to you as soon as possible." Saying this, he hung up the phone.

"Did that bitch really come back? Was she really alive? What about the three children then? Are those Arthur's children?" Just imagining these things, Ashley's face turned pale. This is not possible. No, this is not possible.

That bitch died right away. It must have been someone else who took Anastasia's name to get Arthur. I will not let her succeed in her purpose in any way," Ashley muttered and then started walking restlessly. After a while, a notification came as a result.

Ashley immediately turned and looked at the notification and started looking at the pictures. After seeing the girl's picture, she breathed a sigh of relief because the girl's face had no resemblance to Anastasia's face. However, her body burned with jealousy because the girl was so beautiful. After seeing the girl, when her eyes fell on the children, she was shocked because the two boys' faces had some resemblance to Arthur's. Looking at their faces, Ashley clenched her hands in anger. "This bitch deliberately came here with children to trap him, matching Arthur's appearance, but I will never let you succeed in this game. He is mine. I will never let him be someone else. He is only mine.

As she looked at the pictures one after another, her eyes stuck on a picture. In this picture, Alina was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ashley's face, "This bitch has a weak point. I will use this point to remove her from my path. Her little girl will have to suffer the punishment on her behalf for coming to my path. It is better to die than to live paralyzed at this young age," Ashley said and then she started laughing evilly.

After leaving the building, Ather entered the car. Looking at his face that was red with anger, Noah swallowed nervously and then asked him softly, "Boss, are you going to the office now? "Ather threw the ring into his lap and said, "Wash the ring well and bring it back to me. Also, tell the Butler not to let Ashley enter the house in my absence. And as soon as possible, gather as much information as you can on Anastasia and give it to me. I have given you one day to get to know her background. I want to know everything."

"Okay, boss, you will get everything when you come to the office tomorrow morning," Noah said, then the driver started driving. Noah looked at the ring and thought, "Ms. Smith said Mr. George proposed to her with this ring, so why did he bring this ring back? By the way, didn't he propose to her? Was Ms. Smith lying in front of the media?"

He muttered then put the ring in his pocket carefully.
