MICHEAL'S POV

The second Ashley stepped into my house, she froze. Her eyes swept across the room, wide and stunned like she'd just walk into a dream.

“Oh my God,” she whispered.

She'd seen two of my houses before, but this one? It was different. Warmer. Sleek floors. Soft light, tall glass windows that framed the city skyline like a panting. It wasn't just luxury…it was worth living in. Intimate.

“This is your place?” She breathed, turning in slow circles. “It's…. wow. It's beautiful.”

I smiled, tossing my keys into the bowl near the door. “Glad you like it.”

She grinned. “Like it? I'm obsessed. This is huge. How many houses do you have exactly?

I made that face like I was in a deep thought, “8? 10? Aside from other properties. I really can't say, though.”

Now she opened her mouth wider and I couldn't help but laugh.”Baby you need to close your mouth.”

“Sorry i can't help it. But 10? Who owns that many houses?”

“Me. You seem to forget I'm a billionaire. Even though I don't really

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 108

    MICHEAL'S POV The moment Ashley finally picked up my call, something shifted in me.It's not the usual panic or fear. Just pure rage.Simon Veltor. That bastard had the audacity to approach her in public? And to threaten her?.I stared at the wall in front of me, but my mind was replaying her voice, trembling and uncertain, trying to sound okay even though I knew she wasn't. Ashley could fake a lot of things, but not that. Not with me.I grabbed my keys off my desk and headed for the elevator, ignoring everyone who called out my name on the way down. Jayden was at a meeting, thank God. If he caught wind of this, it would be a war on too many fronts—and right now, I don't need that. I needed to focus.As I slid into the driver's seat and started the car, I opened the location tracker I had set for emergencies. A part of me hated using it, but another part was grateful for the foresight. The little blue dot flickered on screen, placing her a few blocks from the café she mentioned.I s

    ASHLEY'S POV “Dad, you've barely touched your drink,” I said, glancing at the untouched cup of coffee in front of him. The quiet buzz of the cafe barely cut through the sudden thump in my chest.Jayden leaned back in his chair, eyes scanning the people walking past the glass window like he was miles away from here. He finally let out a breath. “I've had a lot on my mind lately.”Haven't we all?I sipped slowly from my cup, keeping my tone light. “Does it have to do with work? Or…Something else?”He blinked and focused on me. “Bits of both.You know how it is. Client's, staff…and now people from the past crawling out of nowhere.” His tone was laced with something…disgust? Annoyance?.“People from the past?” I asked gently, my heart thudding a little harder. “Like who?”He chuckled dryly. “Simon Veltor. Just someone Micheal ordered out of the company years ago.”My stomach dropped. I forced a laugh. “And now he's suddenly back? Did he say what he wanted?”Jayden nodded. “He reached o

    MICHEAL'S POV She heard me.I knew it the second I went back into the bedroom. Ashley’s body was turned away from me, but her shoulders were too still. Her breathing was too even. She wasn't asleep.And I hated myself for letting her hear.It wasn't supposed to go this way. The plan—if you could call it that—was to deal with the threat quietly without bringing her into it. But now, everything was out. The worry in her voice this morning was still ringing in my ears.God, I could lie to a room full of investors, convince an entire boardroom to agree with me, but with her, I had nothing. No defence. One look into her eyes, and the truth unravelled faster than I could control it.Now she knows. She knew enough to be scared. I stood by the window of my office with my arms crossed and jaw locked tight. The city glittered beneath me. People down there were going about their lives like nothing was wrong.Like mine wasn't sitting on a line of thread.The knock on my office door pulled me ou

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 105

    ASHLEY'S POV The anniversary was over, but Micheal's mood had changed. He was still smiling, still charming, still the powerful man everyone knows. But I noticed the shift. The second that man in a Navy suit followed right after him earlier, Michael’s entire energy had changed the minute he came out. He went stiff, his jaw tightened, and for a second, I saw something I hadn't seen in him before…. Fear.When I walked up to him right after, he smiled at me like nothing happened, kissed my temple, and asked if I was okay. He even cracked a joke to lighten the mood. But I knew I knew something had rattled him.But I had no idea what it could be.After making sure my father had left, we went back to his penthouse just past ten. He poured us both glasses of wine but barely took a sip of his. He'd unbuttoned the top of his shirt, but he hadn't changed out of the rest of his formal wear. He just sat there on the edge of the couch, his eyes locked on the city skyline like it had answers.I

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 104

    MICHEAL'S POVMy penthouse was quiet when I walked in, just the soft sound of the theatre and the low rhythm of rain tapping against the windows. I closed the door and kicked off my shoes, loosening the tie I hadn’t even realized I still had on. My eyes scanned the living room, and there she was.My baby.She sat curled up on the edge of the couch, her knees drawn to her chest, wearing one of my hoodies that swallowed her whole. Her eyes were puffy, skin pale, and even from where I stood, I could see the exhaustion hanging off her.“Baby,” I called softly, stepping close to her.Her head turned to me slowly, she said no word, just her eyes meeting mine and they said everything. “Come here,” I told her, opening my arms.She didn't hesitate. She stood, shuffled over, and melted into me the moment she settled on my lap. Her body shook against mine as the tears came again. Silent at first, then soon turned to soft sobs that cracked my chest open.“Talk to me, sweetheart. I'm here now.”

    MICHEAL'S POV “Make sure the champagne is from the Montebello reserve, not the regular batch,” I said, walking towards the glass wall of my office with my phone pressed to my ear. “And double check the sitting arrangements. I don't want the Carsons anywhere near the Pierres.”“Got it, sir. I'll handle it.”I ended the call and let out a slow breath, rubbing the back of my neck. The company's anniversary event was less than twenty-four hours away. Twenty years of Kingston technology. Twenty years of clawing my way out of bankruptcy and rebuilding everything from scratch, and proving to the world—and myself—that it wasn't just a failed legacy. My phone buzzed again. A message from Ashley.Ashley: Hi baby, I'm meeting up with Dad later today. Might be late getting to the penthouse.Not seeing her today felt strange. After everything we'd shared over the last week, going back to our separate routines left a chill in the air. I hadn't even heard her voice today.Before I could overthink
