TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 68
MICHEAL'S POV I sat at my desk, staring at the same line of code I'd been pretending to read for the last twenty minutes. The screen seems to be blurred. My mind was far away—stuck in that damn moment in the boardroom, her voice shaking, her eyes glassy, saying she didn't mean to hurt me. But she did hurt me.It had all fallen apart while I was blinking. The leak, Kate showing up unexpectedly, Ashley disappearing with her eyes laced with tears—God, I'd never felt so helpless.What if she decides I wasn't enough? What if she's tired of the drama that surrounds me? What if she never trusts me again? And the worst of all, what if this thing between us—this good, true love we have - was already on the point of shattering because I let too much through the cracks?.“Hey.” Ethan’s voice broke through the silence, pulling me out of my thoughts.I looked up to see him leaning against the doorframe with a cup of coffee in hand. “You okay?” He asked.I leaned back in my chair and released a
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 67
MICHEAL'S POV My phone buzzed on the passenger seat. I picked it up mindlessly to see a text from my assistant, Chloe.Chloe: Sir, I worked on what you asked, and I just wanted to let you know the result. Miss Kate has been in touch with someone named Ryan. Several calls and texts were traced to her number last week. I thought you'd want to know immediately.”I read the message. Read it again. And once more.“Son of a bitch,” I snarled.I spun the wheel with a hard pull and drove straight to the office. The rage did not just seep in—it blasted right through me. I couldn't even think straight. Everything else receded. Her face. Her lying. That fake crying shit she pulled last time. That won't work this time.Ryan?She was conspiring with Ryan?When I arrived at the building, I wasn't even breathing properly. My fists were clenched on the steering wheel as I pulled in the parking lot. The second I was in the lobby. I heard Ethan’s voice. “Micheal.”I looked up to see him walking towar
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 66
ASHLEY'S POV Micheal looked between me and Austin. "Your father's worried about you, Ash. Come on, let's go. I’II take you home." Liar.Austin turned to me. “Ashley, are you going to be fine?” “Yes, it's okay,” I said softly to Austin, extending my hand to get my jacket. “I'll go with him.”Austin looked at me questioningly—his jaw set, his eyes darting to Micheal, who stood still by the door like some guard that followed me around. But then, Austin nodded slowly and stepped back. “You sure?” “Yeah.” My tone was steady, though my insides were spinning. “Thanks for everything.”I embrace him briefly, holding on for a few seconds before I let go. I picked up my bag and stepped outside without giving Micheal a glance. I heard him curse under his breath, but I ignored. As I stepped outside, the night air seemed colder than it had been. Heavy with silence. Michael said nothing as he opened the passenger door for me. I hesitated for a second before climbing inside the car.He got in
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 65
MICHEAL'S POV “Come on, Ashley…pick up.” I muttered, pacing outside her apartment like a goddamn lunatic. My thumb hovered over the screen before I hit the dial again.Straight to voicemail.I stared up at the building, hoping—willing–some kind of light would flicker on, or a shadow would move behind the blinds, something. Anything.But it stayed quiet. Dark. Like she hadn't been home at all.I cursed under my breath and tried calling again. And again.Same thing. It went straight to voicemail.A blast of cold air cut through me as I rested against the wall. I rubbed my face hard, trying to settle my thoughts, but it only spiralled.Where the hell are you, Ashley? This wasn't like her even if she's mad at me. Not a word since she left, not even a reply to my text. After the look in her eyes when she saw Kate…after what I didn't say, I knew I'd messed up pretty bad. I should've run after her the second she walked out. I should've been honest.Now, I had no idea where she was.I pu
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 64
ASHLEY'S POV I didn't know how I made it down to the car.I don't even remember walking out of Michael’s office. My legs just moved on their own, but my heart had stayed back there…stuck in that suffocating room, watching him stand next to her. Watching the silence between us speak louder than anything he could've said.Kate. That name alone was enough to get my stomach all knotted up. My hands gripped the wheel so hard that my knuckles hurt. My eyes pricked with tears, and I blinked wildly, struggling to keep them from falling.I drove for hours. It didn't matter where. I just needed to get out. Away from that building, away from him, away from it all.The sky was already growing dark, and city lights began to come to life like the stars were taunting me. I pulled over on an unknown side street, slouched back in the car seat, and stared straight ahead like maybe the road would have answers. But it didn't.All I could see was her face. Perfect. Composed. Like she belonged there.Lik
TWISTED AFFAIR CHAPTER 63
MICHEAL'S POV The door clicked shut behind her, but the echo of Ashley's presence lingered like a storm that hadn't fully passed.She was gone. And I hadn't said a damn word. I couldn't even go after her because we couldn't be seen together like that. Not when Kate was here.I stood still near the window, watching the city lights through the glass. Kate was standing behind me, her heels clicking as she stepped further into my office.“I didn't mean to interrupt.” She said quietly.I turned slowly to face her. Her voice hadn't changed. Still poised, calm, threaded with that infuriating elegance she always carried. She wore a black skirt and white blouse, her dark hair falling back in that same style she used to wear during board meetings when she wanted to intimidate everyone at the table.“What are you doing here, Kate?” I asked.Her brow lifted as if she was surprised by the question. “You knew I was coming. Ethan said you agreed to this meeting.” I cursed under my breath. I had ag
