TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 15
Micheal's POV The day has been good so far. The investors had arrived at the office, and the meeting had gone smoothly. They were pleased with the numbers, the course of the firm, and, of course, my management. Everything was according to plan. After they had left, I sat alone in my office, reviewing the final details of the contracts before me, content with what I had done.My office remained quiet. I leaned back in my chair and sipped on my coffee as the weight of the day rested upon my shoulders. Barely in time before I was able to resume attention on paperwork, my office phone rang and brought me back out of my thoughts. It was my new assistant.“Mr Michael, there’s someone here to visit you. A young woman named Ashley. Should I let her in?” My assistant's voice over the telephone line.I blinked in surprise, Ashley? She never told me she was coming. “Let her in.” After a minute, the door opened, Ashley stood in the doorway, but she didn't look ok. She looked disturbed, sad.

Ashley's POVAs I pulled my car into the driveway, I couldn't help but think about what happened in Uncle Micheal's office. I only went there to talk, I needed someone to talk to, and he seemed to be the right person at the moment. I can't talk to my dad about what happened in Paris because he will never forgive me if he finds out. My best friend Austin wouldn't understand either. So Uncle Micheal happens to be the only option left, but I never planned for it to go down that way. I kissed my father’s best friend without thinking. I couldn't help but question myself, Why exactly did I do that? Was it because I wasn't in the right state of mind? Do I need a distraction? Or I possibly feel something for him? Hell no…. It can't be. Me? Have feelings for Uncle Michael? That can never be possible. I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts. He's way older and more mature than me. I care and love him like a father…dats all.But why did something so wrong feel right at the same time? No

Micheal's POV“Uncle Micheal, thank you for this opportunity once again, I can't believe it. I am here to submit my business proposal in Kingston's Technology, one of the biggest companies in New york.” Ashley said out of excitement. “You are welcome, Ashley. You have always been a smart girl, and I know your company will be successful.” I noticed she was bright and cheerful today, like Ashley, have always known. “Seems you are in a good mood today.” She smiled, looking away to hide her blush, “I sort things out with Austin. We are good now. “Oh, that's good. So he really meant that much to you.” I asked out of curiosity.“He’s my best friend. He means a lot to me. Uncle micheal, about what happened the last time…”“Let's not talk about that, i know it’s a mistake, and you weren't in the right state of mind.”I know she didn't mean to do what she did, but I couldn't stop thinking about it since it happened…Hell I couldn't stop thinking about her ever since I laid my eyes on her

Ashley's POV My mind wandered as I drove home, Uncle Micheal's face kept resurfacing in my mind, the way his eyes lingered on me, soft yet they were full of unspoken words. I know something was bothering him, but I couldn't figure it out. A pang of confusion stirred in my chest ‘Could he possibly have feelings for me’ but as the thought came to mind, I pushed it out quickly to get rid of it. I couldn't afford to entertain such thoughts.Pulling into the driveway, I parked my car and stepped out of it, but as I did, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen, and it was a group call from my friends.I picked up the call and I regret it immediately, “Bitch where are you?” that was Sophie, screaming on top of her voice.“Come over and get some dick you holy virgin.” Jade yelled into the phone.Then finally I could hear a sane person voice over the phone, “Ash, where are you? The girls miss you.” Austin asked, and with all the noises surrounding him..i could tell they were at the club.“I c

Ashley's POV As we drove to the venue, I looked out the window with my mind filled with thoughts. I couldn't help but think about what happened earlier, how Uncle Micheal looked at me in his office. I couldn't shake the feeling that there's more to it . We both sat in silence until he cleared his throat and decided to talk.“How's the proposal coming up? Is there anything I can help with?” He asked, looking towards my direction.“No, I will handle it myself and bring it to you as soon as possible. Thanks anyway.”He nodded, placing his focus back on the road.I saw a huge building close to us and I could tell that we'd arrived at the venue. “Are you alright?” I nodded quickly “Yea I'm fine, just thinking.”“Don't worry, we will get through this. It's just business.” He assured me while parking his car in the venue's lot.I didn't know if that was to reassure me, but did it help? No.“Right, it's just business.” We stepped out of the car, and I could see a lot of people approach

Micheal's POV I held Ashley’s hands in mine, “Let's get out of here.” She nodded with a smile on her face. The cold night air hit her skin as I pulled her away from the crowd, my hand firm around hers. The sound of the gala faded behind us as we walked through the grand door.The valvet was already waiting with the car, a sleek black sedan that seemed to mirror the dark. I opened the door for her, my eyes looking towards her for a moment. She slid into the passenger seat, and I climbed in beside her. Ever since I saw her in that black dress, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I could hardly focus at the event.“Ashley” I murmured, leaning forward to rest my head on hers, I traced her lips with my fingers, and at that moment, she found it difficult to breathe. “Uncle Miche…”I shut her up with a kiss. At first my lips moved in a slow passion, afraid that she would change her mind or stop me but as she started kissing me back, reassuring that none would happen, my pace grew more hungry

Ashley's POV I knock slightly on Austin's door, holding on to the strap of my purse with one hand while keeping the other hand on the wall, waiting for him to answer. He had invited me over to discuss his birthday preparations, and I'm more than happy to help. Even though I couldn't clear my head regarding yesterday's event, I can't seem to shake the feeling of the tension we both shared. I even tried to convince myself that it was just a moment, a mistake, but I knew better. And for now, I needed to focus on other things, like Austin's upcoming birthday.The door creaked open, and Austin smiled at me. “Ash, come on in.”“Took you long enough, Austin. What were you doing? Fucking?”“I wish I was.” He joked, and we burst out laughing.“Take your horny ass out of my face.” I said, stepping into his house.I stepped into the warm comfort of his apartment. It was small, but the interior designs and some pieces of artwork that were hung around on the wall made it feel like home. His apar

Jayden’s POV I was working on paperwork when I got a call from Mr Williams, an investor we can't afford to lose. He always has his ways of making me feel needed and appreciated. He's a wise businessman, one that knows what he's doing, but he can very cunning at times.“Mr West, It's been a while. I was wondering why I didn't see you at the gala. I was looking forward to seeing you and maybe talking business if we had the time.” Mr Williams said, his tone sharp but friendly. “Although your daughter did quite a number, She handled herself exceptionally well. I'm impressed.”I smile widely, I was proud of my daughter for pulling that off. I knew it’s her first time attending a gala, so for her to do that good and impress a man like Mr Williams, Ashley is indeed my daughter.“Yes Ashley's….She's a natural.” I replied, a little caught off gaurd by the compliment coming from the man himself. “I had some business I need to attend to, but I will be sure to catch the next one.”The conversat

TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 46
ASHLEY'S POV“Show me how sorry you're.”His voice hit deeper than his touch—low, thick with everything he wasn't saying. Hurt. Want. Rage. Love.My knees were still against the floor, but as soon as he spoke them, tension within the room shifted. My hands trembled against his thighs, and I glanced up at him. My heart pounded like it was sounding a warning.I didn't speak. I didn't need to. I just moved.I mounted him slowly until I was astride his lap. His eyes never wavered. His jaw was locked, as though he was fighting not to reach out and grab me to shut me in. But he didn't have to. I was already his.I cupped his face and kissed him.Hard and desperate, no hesitation.He responded immediately. His arms wrapped around my hips, pulling me towards him as if he couldn't stand having space between us. His lips were rough on my mouth, biting, breathing in my mouth, claiming my lips with such ferocity. None of this was slow and gentle.It was raw.His tongue swept against mine, his tee
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 45
ASHLEY'S POV The door clicked shut behind them.Jess and Ryan, they were gone. But the damage…they left it behind like a mess in the middle of the room. And all I could do was stand there, frozen, holding the pieces I didn't even know had broken yet.My throat burned. But no sound came out of my mouth. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.Micheal hadn’t moved. He was still standing in the middle of my apartment like he didn't know where he was anymore. Like this place suddenly felt foreign to him.I wanted to say something. But where do you even start when everything's been turned inside out.So I whispered the only thing I could. “I didn't lie to you.” He didn't look at me right away. His jaw clenched. His eyes still stuck on the same spot Ryan had been standing. I stepped closer, my voice barely holding together. “I should have told you about him. About what he did. About how I felt seeing him again. But I was scared. Not of him, but of you. Of losing this…of losing you.”Finally, he
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 44
MICHEAL'S POV I couldn't sit still.Not at work. Not at home.Not even with Jess hovering around like some gentle ghost who didn't belong to the room anymore. That picture burned a hole in my brain. Ashley. Standing across from a man I didn't know. Her head tilted down, her eyes guarded. His hand on her shoulder. It was sent to me from an anonymous number. No text. No explanation.Just the image.I didn't want to believe it meant anything. But the way she'd been lately…distant, jumpy, always one foot out the door– it made it too easy for my mind to go places it shouldn't. I needed answers. I couldn't breathe without them anymore.So I drove down to her place.I didn't care that it was getting late. I didn't care that she hated people showing up unannounced. I just needed to see her face. I needed to know if she'd lie to me. Right to my face. ************Her apartment building looked the same. Cold. Familiar. My heart was beating so hard in my chest as I rang the bell. There wa
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 43
JESS'S POV The quiet inside the house had been oppressive, as if it had its own weight bearing down on my chest.I folded my legs over one another at the bed frame, pulled up close, clasped my knees. My fingers picked at a thread that was loose on my sleeve and twisted, pulled it over and over again as if I pulled enough, then maybe the rest of things would come apart too.Micheal's words wouldn't stop cycling in my head."I don't think I should have loved her."I know he still loved her. Even though he didn't say it. I could see it clearly in his eyes. I could feel it in the way his voice softened when he spoke her name.Ashley.Even her name made me want to throw up.I got up and went to the window, opening the curtains a little. The street was quiet now. Quiet. Empty. The sort of quiet that I never got at home. I leaned my head against the cold glass and shut my eyes.It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.I never want to fall in love with him.At first, I just wanted to be ther
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 42
MICHEAL'S POVThe clock on the microwave blinked at 11:42AM. I'm still in the same spot. Still holding the damn phone like it held answers to all the questions swirling in my head.I should've gone after her.Jess.She walked out like she was holding herself together with tape and string, and I just stood there. I watched her go. I didn't stop her, I didn't say anything that mattered. I let her walk away with that look in her eyes, like she already knew what I was gonna say before I ever said it.Because she was right.I didn't feel the same. And I hated myself for it.She deserved better than being a second option. Hell, she deserved to be someone’s first choice, not the person in the background, picking up the pieces when everything else fell apart. But I couldn't lie to her. I never harbour such feelings for her, she's always been like a sister to me and it's best it remains that way. And then there was Ashley.God.I leaned back against the counter, thumb hovering over my scree
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 41
JESS'S POVThe minute I heard the door click shut, I knew she was gone. Ashley.I sat on the bed upstairs, wearing Micheal's hoodie. The sleeves held tightly in my hand out of anger, knuckles white. I did not wish to hear the words, couldn't quite turn my ears quite enough to pay attention to what was being spoken. But I could feel it. In their voices, tension was there. The cracks. The silence that screams.And for a second….I hoped she'd stay gone.God, what's wrong with me?I rubbed at my chest, like maybe the pressure there would ease. But it didn't. It never did around her. Not when I saw her name flash on his phone. Not when he talked about her like she was everything. Not when he looked at her like she still belonged to him.Well, she did belong to him. And I hated it.I stood up, walked towards the window. The city felt so quiet. So blind. Micheal's apartment fell still again, the sort of stillness that convinced you that all else was sound. I saw myself reflected in the glas
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 40
MICHEAL'S POV The smell of coffee drifted through my penthouse before the sun had even fully come up. I stood by the stove, flipping pancakes half awake, wearing the same sweatpants I'd crashed in. My hair was a mess, eyes still a bit swollen from sleep, but Jess always liked breakfast early. And I'd promised.The kitchen was quiet except for the soft noise of the pans and the low sound of the fridge. Jess came down a few minutes later, barefoot, wearing an old hoodie of mine she’d found in the guest room closet. She smiled when she saw me cooking.“Now this is a sight,” she said, sitting down on a stool. “Mikey in his natural habitat.”I smiled, barely. “I told you I got you.”She watched me for a second. “You didn't sleep, did you?.”I shrugged. “Did you?” “Like a baby.”When I was done, I handed her a plate and sat across from her with my own meal in hand. She dug in immediately, humming like she used to when we were kids, and Aunt Marie made cinnamon rolls on Sundays. It should

MICHEAL'S POVThe numbers on my screen blurred together. I blinked once. Twice. Still nothing. I'd been staring at the same email for fifteen minutes, maybe even more. I couldn’t even remember what it was about anymore. My fingers hovered over the keyboard like they forgot how to type. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the back of my head. Ashley.I couldn't stop thinking about her. She'd been off lately. Not cold exactly, just…distant. Her smile didn't reach her eyes anymore. Her laugh, the one that used to hit me right in the chest, now felt forced. Too quick, like she was trying to convince herself that it was real.And ever since she ran into him, Ryan, she hadn't been the same. I hated that name. Hated that I even know it now. Could she possibly still have feelings for him? I shook off the thought as soon as it came to mind.I used to think Ashley was an open book, but now? It was like someone glued the pages shut. Each time I asked, She said she was fine. Tired, distracted, w

ASHLEY'S POV The restaurant was nice. Too nice, maybe. Low lights, soft jazz, white napkins folded like they mattered. Micheal decided to take me out for lunch because my tummy wouldn't stop growling earlier. And the minute we got here. I fell in love with this place. Now the issue is…I couldn't stop thinking about Ryan. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him back or anything like that, but why was he here? Why now that I'm in a safe place? I told myself I'd gotten the closure I seek, but that one look from him made me question everything I believed. Micheal sat across from me, talking about something….work, I think, but his voice felt distant. Like background noise in a movie, I wasn't really watching. I nodded, smiled at the right moments. sipped my wine like I wasn't screaming inside. But I felt it. That stare. That burned on my back even as I walked away earlier, but I pretended I didn't. I had to, and Micheal was there.Ryan.God, why did he still get to make me feel like this?
