Melting Away
ASHLEY
Her groggy eyes snapped open to be met by a boundless ocean of darkness. Confused, she whipped her head around to catch a single shred of light but in vain. There wasn't a single ounce of light penetrating through the pitch-black surrounding that had engulfed her. Trepidation seeped into her veins sending her heart racing. She tried to get up from the chair she was sitting in. However, her movements got restricted causing a realization to strike her like lightning. She has been tied down with the chair. A skin-chaffing rope snaking around her waist and wrists. Her eyes widened in shock and her mind turned numb. As if on autopilot, her body began thrashing violently to get free from the bound.Sweat broke across her forehead and tears rolled down her cheek as she heard the sound of footsteps coming closer. "You really thought you can escape me," a menacing voice reached her causing hair to spike on the back of her n

AshleyThe days followed by the "note incident" flew by in peace. No further threats were received. But that didn't mean she was not afraid anymore. The threatening words of the note were etched painfully in her memory that kept repeating themselves again and again in her head. Daniel didn't tell her much and his guarded expression revealed nothing, but she knew better. Ashley was suspicious that Michael was not alone in it. There was someone aiding him.She wanted to ask Daniel but she hadn't seen much of him since that day. Like a true workaholic, Daniel was always out of the house coming back only late at the night to leave again early the next morning. One silver lining was that Ashley had recovered to a great extent. She was able to walk on her own now. However, running was still out of question.That night she asked Dayna not to prepare her dinner as she wanted to make it by herself.

Sold To A Billionaire Night Out
AshleyThe day started as ordinary as any other but she was more than sure it was going to end differently. Tonight she was going to attend Giselles' party with Daniel. To say she was nervous would be an understatement. Ashley had never attended high-profile parties before except for the one back at Springdales to celebrate Daniel's visit. She wasn't exactly a party animal. No, she was far from that. She loved living in solitude. In her own world. But that didn't mean she liked to be caged. Or dictated. There is a difference between choosing to live alone and being forced to live alone.Ashley forced herself apart from those memories of Michael. She had more pressing issues right now. For instance, what is she going to wear today? Ashley didn't have many clothes as all her belongings were tucked inside the cupboard back in her home in Springdale. Heck, she didn't even have her phone. Only a few casual tees and lowers that Daniel had bought for her.

The car came to a halt in front of a grand door. Two muscular guards were posted on either side of the door. Ashley had to crane her head to see the top of the lofty building. She realized they were in front of a hotel. The driver opened her door removing the glassy barrier between her and the outside world. She twisted her neck to her side and realized that Daniel had already alighted from the car. She gulped back her apprehensions and climbed out."Thank you," she uttered to the driver and walked towards Daniel who was standing just a few steps away from her. Daniel was typing something on his phone. They begin walking towards the entrance once she caught up with him. Her heart was threatening to jump out of her chest as they padded towards the entrance. Daniel looked indifferent. Maybe bored.The guards greeted them with a bow before drawing the door open for them. Ashley let Daniel take the lead but Daniel wanted her to walk beside him. This is why he would stop every

Daniel didn't stop glaring daggers at Leo even after he stepped back."Sorry pal, I didn't know she is taken.....by you" Leo raised both his hand in surrender. Ashley's whole face had turned red by now. Daniel still had his arms wrapped around her waist as if he had all the right in the world to do so. Ashley didn't know what to think. She waited for Daniel to correct Leo but the billionaire seemed to be too busy destructing Leo with his cold gaze. She tried to step away but Daniel's tight hold didn't allow her."Umm...we are not together," Ashley finally spoke up realizing Daniel was not going to clarify it. Her words surely had an effect on Daniel as his head turned towards her the moment she spoke the line. Ashley's heart skipped a beat when her eyes met with his. His cold orbs had softened as they landed on her but there was something in them that caused her heart to scrumple. It flickered and disappeared in a flash. And then his eyes hardened again. He slid his hand o

Her eyes had swollen due to constant crying. She was terrified to the bone. Her trembling form and the way she was holding onto him explained how unsettled her state of mind was. He held her in his arms not caring what people would label them as. He tried to cool her nerves down while himself boiling from inside. And the message that doodled on the mirror didn't make the situation better.The incident had shaken her to the core. Her body craved protection. Yearned assurance.

Those memories had chased away her sleep despite how tired she felt. They haunted her like a relentless witch. She cried, sniffled, cursed, and fell silent after losing all her energy. It wasn't lost on her that Michael wanted her to pay for bringing him behind the bar. That is why he was so hell-bent on having her back so that he could torture her in the most inhuman way possible. The thought caused a shudder to pass through her body.The event had triggered chaos in her mind and she had been so engrossed in repressing it that she couldn't notice a silhouette sneaking in her room from time to time to check up on her throughout the night.Next morning, she woke up when Dayna came in with a tray of breakfast and gently nudged her shoulder to awake her.
