Ashley's POV
The dress I was looking for land in my hands with the power of the universe. it was in red mocha colour. reaching up to my thighs and it was strapless too. maybe it was too much but I wanted to live my life for one last time before the weekend ends again and I have to go back to my normal life.,
in the meantime, Amelia came while wearing her dress. she was looking like a princess of a kingdom, and her dress was shining bright on her. it was covering the perfection of her curves and making her the most beautiful lady on the earth.
"Now go and try your dress," she pushed me inside the changing room and when I came outside, I was burning from inside, truth to be told I have never worn something like that before.
her mouth was hung open, "say?" I whispered to her while looking down.
"look up darling! because you are looking like a queen," then she hugged me in the process and for the first time in my life, I felt as if I am wanted!
we went to the counter to get it to pack, but the shopkeeper warned us that if anything happened to the dress it will cost us two times for us. for a moment I was shocked if anything happens, from where I would get the money to return to him, but Amelia assured me that nothing would happen so I just listened to her.
***
The next day, when it was Sunday all the offices were closed we did our shift in time and rushed to Amelia's apartment.
she lives in a small apartment with her brother and they both pay rent for it. it was quite good for both of them. well, her brother was nowhere to be seen in sight, so I erupted from it he must be gone too.
we cleaned our skin and wear our dresses then she started doing her makeup, she applied blue-eye shadow to her eyelids, then blushed her cheeks. after half an hour of her getting ready she applied red lipstick on her full lips.
"Won't," I uttered because she was looking dead-gorgeous if I had been a guy I would have asked her out.
oh wait, I could do that being a girl too. "so, Dear, Amelia will you go out with me?" I extended my hand and she gently placed her on mine, "sure, Dear Ashley but before that, you need to do some makeup!"
"is it necessary? can't I go without it?" I gave her my puppy- smile.
"shut up and sit down like a gentle lady as you are!"
as I sat down she told me to close my eyes and I did the same, then I felt brushes on my cheeks, something heavy on my eyes and of course a brush on my lips.
when she asked me to open my eyes I found it strange because the girl in the tiny mirror was gawking at me with her beautiful eyes.
I have never felt so beautiful before, I was looking as if I was the model of a top brand. my skin was glowing and my hair was? they were shamelessly resting on my shoulders. she applied red lipstick on my lips too and I was burning from inside to see my figure like this.
"so are you ready to attend the most beautiful night with me?" she extended her hand and I grabbed it at the time as I will never have any chance in my life to do it again. I held her to never let go, to always be on my side and with that, she booked a cab and we started our journey to the youngest night of our life.
Blake's POv
girls only want money from rich billionaires like all billionaires want their attention! well, sometimes we get too much but I hate that.
Shawn was already there in a tux waiting for me. I still have no idea what I am going to do in the hotel green park when I could easily afford all the luxury in my name.
he started honking again!
"coming!" I shouted while running downstairs. maybe it's a good idea, after all, I will get the limelight when people there would see me they would be surprised.
"Are you coming or not?" heard I shawn's voice again, his terrible voice was enough to make you bleed your ears.
and with a bam, I got into the car. My Audi was perfectly shining in its glory, the only problem is that I am not driving it.
when we were on the road, passing my cars and let me tell you one thing I was the only one with the Audi on the road so that made me feel relaxed for a while. I don't like coming on second or on the third I always want to be on top and get whatever I want.
there must be a smirk on my face.
"so any plans for the night?" he asked me while looking at me from the rare mirror.
"what plans?" I raised my eyebrows.
"of course, you have to come up with a girl, that's the theme of the party. you have to be with someone."
oh no not again!
"Sofia might be there," I uttered while looking outside the window. there was a time when this city used to be so silent now we could only hear noise everywhere.
"don't do anything stupid, there might be chances of hidden cameras you know?" he told me in his serious tone.
what does he think? why I would do something stupid? besides there will be presidents of all top companies, well my company is on top but still, to get the deal done I am going to have a decent talk with them.
this party for me is another opportunity to get all the pending deals done.
besides, Sofia would accompany me if there will be any need for any woman.
suddenly. the car halted and I realised we reached our destination. the hotel is always big and filled with all the rich things to be called precious in this world. as I landed my foot on the floor everyone started looking at me, especially the girls, they were looking g at me like a piece of fresh meat.
oh, these girls and their eyes would be the death of me.
Mr Fernandez was there to greet me. recently our company signed a deal with his so he was calling himself lucky to get a deal done with Jensen's
as I entered I bumped into someone though it was my mistake because I was not looking forward still that girl will say sorry by herself when she will realize who am I? and maybe she even considers herself lucky to get bumped onto me!
but when I looked at her face, she was looking like the top model of a branded company, her eyes were so beautiful.
I was waiting for her to acknowledge me and say she was sorry and if she does that I could even make her my partner.
"hey, you? what are you staring at? have not seen any girl before?"
what? I wanted to tell her to mind her own business and shut up but I was only able to whisper "huh?"
"and don't act like a blind when you are not!"
with that she walked away, she was not alone she was with a girl leaving me all confused.
who is she?
I have to find out!
Ashley's Pov- This place was exquisite and breathtaking to be told. I have been admiring its beauty for too long, the shiny bright chandelier was radiating the light inside the dark area. My heart skips a beat when I saw everyone was rushing here to the lavish party and I am going to witness this, for the first time in my life. I was feeling as if I was a princess and belong to their world. Abruptly, I collided with someone. A man with whom I had an encounter in the cafeteria. I tried to ignore his presence by sliding away but his hard glare started haunting my image, so I started to run away from here abruptly of the fear that what would happen if he recognized me? Amelia came at the exact moment and slipped her fingers onto mine. My beating heart reassures me for a second before jeopardising the whole night. Before he could catch me again we moved in another direction where all the rich billionaires were in a tux paired up with ladies. Ah! After seeing them I realized I need
Ashley's pov My horrifying nightmares were ahead of me, as I realised this dress was a rented one. My heart came into my mouth and it started beating fast! Fast because I couldn't decide what to do now? This night was getting worse seconds by second! I wanted to enjoy the night and maybe wanted to forget about my existence for the whole time. But I was clueless, about what is about to come. "I am sorry," His blue eyes were bored into mine.Oh yes, how it is easy for him to say he was sorry for me... But what could I do now? However, I know if I did work for years still wasn't able to afford this dress and now because of this bastard, I have to pay for it! "You ruined my dress," my voice came more as stoned, and fragile.My head was spinning too... I think I need to run from here before I get collapsed on the floor. I stood up, and move my way to the washroom, where I could clean my mind and get into a sane state, my dress was clutching in my hands. I searched everywhere but
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was alone when I reached home, my mother was not there she must have been gone to work and I have no idea what just happened in my life! My life is getting drowned and drowned and in the next moment, I was nowhere. I don't trust that person, that Billionaire, Blake Jensen, my heart is telling me something is wrong about him, the way he was looking at me or the way he was creating everything! I have been engulfed in a mess because of him! My mind went again to his words when he offered me to work for him! Why did he offer me a position when he knows I am just a waitress in a small cafeteria? My mind went into several jumps to process the thought what the hell is he thinking? All the mess started because of him! And now he wants to command my life? I am never going to work for him! I was on the verge of breaking someone's head when I saw my mother has arrived from
Ashley's pov- The atmosphere outside the car was devastated and inside it was burning too from temptation. I had everything and then it drive into nothing,My cellphone was in his hands, ringing in the shame until it went to cessation once again. For a long moment, I took a long and deep breath, reassuring myself that everything will be fine. I am not going to be killed, or better died this night. However, my heart had different dimensions to see the world, as the car halted at a stop when everything became silent once again. "So what do you think?" Shawn was talking to me, as he was his robot. That Jensen's robot. I didn't know what to say, as I was lost in words, It went for a minute when no one from us was talking and just glaring at each other. Then after some harsh breaths, I heard a voice, the car engine started again. Blake Jensen was nowhere to be found, he got in the car and eru
Ashley's Pov The man in a dark suit with his tall figure was looking at me as I were a criminal. His deep dark eyes were arrogant and wicked, maybe he is showing his new side to me. And how can I forget? He is Blake Jensen, the most ruthless Billionaire! "So Ms Brooke, finally you arrived!" His sharp eyes were a slap on my face. I was anxious, about the outcome that I was getting in. "Yesss Sir," I almost choked when I had to call him sir. I can't take his name for certain reasons. However, He just narrowed his eyes at my response and looked at me as I have done something extremely wrong. He adjusted his tie, which was neatly plated, and rolled his hair in frustration. "Call me Mr Jensen as I am not your grandfather which you will prefer to call sir!" I wanted to yell at him! To tell him to shut up and mind his own business, however, I nodded my head just to confirm that it was alright with me. "Now, Brooke listen to me carefully- you have fifteen minutes to bring me a cap
Ashley's Pov- What does he think of himself? Such a jerk he is! My empty stomach growled once again when I was in the process of cleaning myself. Somehow, in the process of cleaning the stain, my hair went moist from the little droplets of water. And my hardly visible lipstick was smudging over my lips. I was looking like a clown who is going to avenge the world with her power. I came out of my bubble of thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. "Ms Brooke, what are you planning to do? " The voice was hard as stone if I didn't answer he would collapse the world against him. However, I didn't reply I was too occupied with my own business of cleaning myself from the stain that was next to impossible to get clean. "I don't allow tardiness, come out now!" His voice shrieked my thoughts again, so I left it as it was before and moved to open the door. Only to learn his deep eyes were bored into mine. He looked at my shivering figure, which was clumping with the rages of st
Ashley's Pov- Something is incredibly agonising and mysterious about him, the way he looks, the way he holds the powers, as he is extensively contagious that could jeopardise everything. He was on his seat, continuously reading the papers, writing something with the pen that he was rolling into his fingertips, He didn't drink coffee, then why did he even ask anyone to bring him one? That only gives me one conclusion, he never wanted to drink it in the first place, he just wanted me to startle against his power. That he could make things work the way he wants and he always gets them. And why not? He is the country's most ruthless Billionaire. When I kept myself busy while picking out the New York time Newspaper that was resting on his wooden table for the past eight hours, His eyes snapped once again while writing something on paper, "do not touch anything without asking for my permission," and then he begins to work again. I kept my head low, and my voice was barely audib
Ashley's Pov My breath got hitched, when I heard his cold dark voice, I don't understand what a man like him is doing here in the early morning. As I took footsteps toward him, his intense stare told me not to do so, otherwise, I would be concerned about the outcome. However, I did what my heart was inclining me to do, without removing another thought I perked up at Mr Jensen's eyes which were already bored into mine. "As I have declared, I don't allow tardiness then why are you late?" He raised his eyebrows, critically examining my every move with caution. And what I am going to explain to him now? That I was speculating about him and his power the whole night!That I couldn't fall asleep because of the caution I felt in that room. However, I know nobody would understand whatever I am mumbling and I will always be a mad broke woman for everyone. Poor Brooke who is broke too! "I am waiting
