MICHEAL'S POV

After all the chaos we'd just crawled out of: the betrayal, the press, the damn leak–it was finally quiet again. But in the quiet, I started seeing things clearer than ever.

I thought about it long and hard, and I'd made up my mind.

Ashley was the one.

Not just someone I liked, not just someone I'm attracted to. She was the one I wanted beside me. Through everything. Through the storms, the silence, the triumphs, the failures…all of it.

During the chaos, I looked around and realized the only person still standing with me, for me, was her.

She didn't run. She didn't demand answers or accuse me when things got ugly. She just stayed strong behind me, and that meant more than any contract, more than any business deal. That was real.

So tonight, I was going to make my move.

I didn't want to just say thank you. I didn't want to just hold her hand and hope she knew how I felt. I wanted to show her the right way. I wanted to make it official.

I called her over earlier in the d

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 113

    ASHLEY'S POV The elevator ride to the penthouse felt longer than usual.My fingers were still trembling from the call. Micheal didn't yell—but his voice was cold, sharp, and demanding. The way he said it gave no room for explanation.As the door slid open, I braced myself.The second I stepped into his penthouse, I saw him pacing by the windows, his hands clenched at his sides, his suit jacket tossed on the couch. His tie was loose around his neck, like even that had become too suffocating. His eyes locked onto me the moment I walked in.“Micheal,” I started carefully, dropping my purse on the nearby table. “What's going on? Why are you so upset?”“You tell me,” he said, his voice low but tight. “Do you make a habit of letting men kiss you when you're out?” My mouth fell open. “Are you serious right now? How could you say that to me?”He moved closer. “Don't play dumb, Ashley. He kissed you. On the cheek, yes…but he had no business to stand that close.”I blinked at him. “Were you

    ASHLEY'S POV Sophie wasn't joking when she said we were going all out today.The moment we arrived, she clapped her hands and practically matched us into the salon like a drill sergeant with a credit card.Then she said, “Hair and nail first, then we hit the spa for some massage, shop for some clothes at the boutique and a restaurant for some good food.”She meant all that, too.An hour later, I leaned back in a velvet chair with my eyes half closed while a stylist ran her fingers through my hair, applying serums and sectioning my curls. The scent of argan oil, heated tools, and lavender-scented conditioner filled the air. Sophie was beside me, already getting her hair blow dried by another stylist, and Jade was on the far end, her hair wrapped in foil as she got caramel highlights.I couldn't help but smile.It felt good to be pampered again. To sit with my girls and let go of everything for a while. No business calls, no stress, no second guessing. Just us.After our hair, we got

    ASHLEY'S POV I didn't expect the tears to come so fast.One second, I was laughing at something stupid Sophie said…and the next, the weight of losing my mum hit me like a truck. The anniversary of my mom's death always did this to me. I could go days feeling okay, functioning like a normal person…until a single moment cracked everything open.I tried to hide it, blinking fast and wiping the corner of my eye like it was nothing.But Jade noticed.She's always the first to notice.“Hey,” she whispered, wrapping an arm around me gently. “Are you okay?”Sophie quieted down instantly. “Ash…”“I'm fine,” I said quickly, voice too small to be convincing. “I just thought of her again.”They didn't say much. They both reached for me, and suddenly, we were in a tangled group hug on the living room couch.“I'm sorry we're not there for you the way we should be,” Jade said softly, her voice tight.“You are here now.” I looked up at them and smiled through my tears. “That's what matters.”Sophie

    MICHEAL'S POV “Baby, please…just open the door and talk to me.”My knuckles were sore from knocking, but that wasn't what hurt. It was hearing her crying from the other side and not being able to do a damn thing about it.She hasn't said a word to me since we got back from the cemetery. Not one. She walked in, went straight to the bathroom and locked the door. I'd tried everything—knocking, waiting outside, leaving food at the door, sitting there just in case she changes her mind. But nothing worked.I leaned forward against the door, breathing in slowly, trying so hard not to lose it. I hated this. Watching her in pain and knowing damn well I couldn’t do anything to fix it. It gutted me.She hadn't eaten, she hadn't slept. She was just…crying.I sat on the floor with my back against the wall, staring at the ceiling like the answers might suddenly appear there. Then it hit me…Her friends—Sophie and Jade. She mentioned them a few times, I remember her talking about them the night we

  • TWISTED AFFAIR   CHAPTER 109

    ASHLEY’S POV The silence at the cemetery was deafening, the kind that settled deep in your bones and refused to leave. I stood beside my dad, clutching a bouquet of white lilies in my hands, the breeze tugging slightly at my dress. Today marks another year since we lost her—my mother. And somehow, the ache hadn't dulled one bit.“She would've loved these,” I whispered, kneeling down to place the flowers gently at the base of her grave. The headstone was clean, polished, and simple…just like her. My fingers traced the letters engraved on the marble like I always did, as if memorising them would somehow bring her closer.My dad stood silently beside me, his hand stuffed into his pocket, his eyes red but focused straight ahead.“I miss you so much,” I said softly, my voice shaking. “So, so much. Some days, I still catch myself wanting to call you, to hear your voice…to hear your advice.” My voice cracked, and my hand started to tremble.“You'd know what to do right now…I feel so lost so

  • 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
