~Ashley's POV ~
.."Can you believe it? He actually said he'll be coming over this weekend to see the kids" I complained to mom as she chuckled."And You're against it?" She asked as I furrowed my brows. "Am I supposed to.......allow it? He said it plainly that I was just a pawn,mom you don't expect me to just forgive him do you?" I asked, pampering my lips with a pink lipstick.
Am actually going out with Shirley and Kendrick,I've been suspicious about them,it seems they're a thing. "Of course not,left alone with me,I don't want you to go close to him,not even Poppy" she said as my contenance changed.
Poppy was just like a sister to me,she's actually my sister.......but she hurt me badly. They all toyed with my feeling,they treated me like thrash.
"Mom, we'll be back soon" I said, kissing her cheeks before heading out.
I walked out of the house.......and found Shirley waiting on a bike. "Am not riding in that" I stated bluntly as sh
~Bradley's POV ~..Her eyes grew wide as she saw me,am very sure that she was not expecting me. I got to know her plan when I went home and found mom panicking.I asked her what was wrong and she said Pamela left the house with.......a knife and she's pregnant,but it turns out mom was wrong.Her pregnancy was just a charade. Am so gonna kill her. I pulled her away from Ashley as she trembled."Pamela, you've crossed your line,am gonna teach you a lesson" I said, pulling her out of the restroom.Ashley followed behind, without saying anything.......I knew she was still mad at me but.....am gonna beg and beg for her forgiveness."Ashley,I thought you died" Shirley said as I chuckled. She's so negative in thinking. "Almost did, Pamela followed us" Ashley replied as Shirley gasped."Come on let's get out of here" Kendrick said, pulling Shirley with him."What about..... Ashley, isn't she coming home?" Shirley asked
~Kaleb POV ~.."Sir......the job is almost done" the guard said as I smiled. Am gonna finish Bradley in seconds then whisk Ashley away.Hmm.....they still don't know that Shirley is missing,I attacked her car this morning and very soon I'll take Ashley.She's mine, mine and mine alone. "Get ready to call Kendrick and also pin the death of Leah on Poppy,she needs to rot in jail for fighting another person's battle...~Ashley's POV ~..True to Bradley's words,the police came and arrested me. And when I asked if my dad was aware,they said he fueled the arrest.And that's the man I call a father? A man who claims to be sorry for what he did.I scoffed as the car sped off. Pamela has crossed her limits with me.Suddenly,the car stopped and the police officers pulled me out of the............car and pushed me into another one."There she is" he said as they hit my head, immediately everywhere turn
~Ashley's POV ~..It's been a week since everything happened and Kendricks body was not found. Shirley has not been herself, always blaming herself for dragging him into this mess."We're ready" mom said as I smiled. "Alright, have fun" i said, kissing Daniel before they walked away.Mom, Roselle and the kids are going to the park......so am stuck with Shirley.She's even refusing to eat or come out of her bedroom.Today was the first court hearing for Poppy's case. I was taken to the station and I was not found guilty.I still don't know if.....I should go or stay at home. I can't bear the thought of Poppy being sentenced to death,I just can't.But what exactly made her kill a doctor?? I was still pondering on it when Bradley walked in."Baby how was your night?" He asked, kissing my lips as I wrapped my arms around him."I slept well, just worried about Poppy,what if they decide to kill her, you know da
~Authoress POV ~..The wedding bells rang, signaling the arrival of the bride. Brandon stood beside eager Bradley while the March started.Finally, everyone was sitted then Ashley and her Dad began their March. She agreed for him to give her away because he was her father,not because she liked him.She had tears in her eyes as Mr silvanus handed her over to Bradley. "Mr Barcelo,I don't have much to say,this is the second time am handing my daughter to you,I believe you'll take good care of her" with that, Bradley nodded as Mr silvanus walked away.Miss woodall and Mrs Barcelo had one of the babies in their arms while Daniel couldn't seem to plant his butt on the chair.The ceremony started and the "I do's" were said. Finally it was time for the reception......The huge Barcelo hall was used and several dishes were served. Benita and Shirley has grown a bond and they're getting along very well.Ashley threw her flowers and su
Shirley's POV..I stood over the gas cooker, preparing Benita favorite food. Yeah she's coming over to Brooklyn for the gala.She'll be here any moment from now and am really excited. It's been a week since my encounter with Mr Hollis and I really don't know if I should take his offer.And am sure Benita will go ballistic if I tell her. My phone began to buzz as a smile crept up to my face."Hey....." I said as Benita chuckled over the line. "Don't tell me hey, just come and open up" she said, sounding excited...I quickly took the apron off and ran to the door. "Oh gosh girlfriend,I really missed you" she said, hugging me and kissing my cheeks as I chuckled."I missed you too,so I hope you'll be staying here and not in that hotel?" I asked, pulling her bags up to the guest bedroom."Am gonna stay here,but I have to check the Hall and other things,I want this gala to be special and splendid" she said as she f
Shirley's POV.."Gosh am fed up" I groaned as Benita searched through my phone for photos of I and Allan."So how did the both of you meet?" She asked, munching on her chocolate as her phone buzzed.I used this as an opportunity to take my phone. Yeah am really down right now.Mom, and everyone disapproved of the relationship,but I don't know why. The wedding date has been fixed and surprisingly,it's a court wedding.Yeah he chose that because it's nothing more than a contract marriage."Oh..... Shirley,am leaving first thing tomorrow,I have to host a party for the senators son and his new baby mama, you know he has three kids from different women" she said as I sighed.Don't blame me,I hardly watch TV nowadays so it's normal if I don't know such juicy detail."Okay...... I'll just send the wedding photos" I replied as she hugged me."If this will make you happy,am in support of it" she said as I nodded.
Shirley's POV..I can't believe he said that, sleep naked!! If he thinks he's gonna use me as he pleases then he's got another thing coming his way.I walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I took my time scrubbing my body after which I dried up and walked out in my bathrobe.He was already sitted on the bed, going through his phone. My eyes stuck to his exposed chest as it rose and fell."When you're done drooling, you can join me in bed" he said without lifting His eyes to look at me.I scoffed and walked to the wardrobe and opened it. My mouth fell open as my eyes raked the closet.Gosh,was he serious? How does he expect me to sleep in this little piece of cloth, gosh it's hardly a cloth.I searched for......a floral gown and as I was about pulling it out,a strong hand stopped me.My heart began to pound slightly as he pulled a short and exposive nightie out of the closet..."You eithe
Shirley's POV..I woke up with a pounding head as my eyes fluttered open. I shut it back due to the rays of sunlight and tried opening it again.I took in my environment and noticed I was in my bedroom,I and Kay's bedroom. But how did I get here?? And is it already tomorrow??As if to answer my question, "You collapsed" Kay said as I gasped.I didn't even notice his presence in the bedroom. He walked towards me and I noticed something familiar about his eyes.He looked away the moment he noticed what I was staring at. "How are you feeling?" He asked coldly and I felt the chill down my spine."Am.....am..." The door flung open, revealing the nanny with a crying cherry. Her face held an apologetic look as I nodded in understanding."Get out and take your things along" Kay said as I turned to stare at him. "But what did she do?" I asked, rocking the baby back and forth in my arms.By now,the nanny had scurried away
