The minute their Red and Black beauty screeched in front of the shopping mall, they gathered the public attention especially the females, whose eyes went wide as the doors slid opened in the vertical direction.
It was that one-minute silence before the entire crowd burst into loud echoes seeing their favourite model step out in front of them.
“Ashton!” The crowd shrieked with big smiles and rushed towards him as he stepped out with a ghost of a smirk playing on his pink lips. It was enough to melt their hearts.
“Seems, you are going to be busy with them all day.” Rex joined and teased him as he scrutinized the hooting and cheering crowd pushing the security to get their way to the talk of the town. Not everyday, the markets flooded with heavenly sight of the angel; currently Vienna was under a surprising shock of receiving the sweetest delight. Only if they could taste the delicacy standing, then they would've felt the luckiest people alive. Some days are just so flabbergasting yet enthralling that Ashton wished to have refused his mate but making people happy with his presence was part of his job and as much as he disliked to get bombarded, he could't have had it any other way. Not when he excelled in the field.
"All thanks to you.” Ashton mock saluted.
He signalled the guards to let the people be, and as soon as the way was clear, the girls dashed towards him excitedly shouting his name ecstatic.
“Can we please have your autograph, Ashton?" The girls requested cutely blinking their eyelashes at him making him shook his head at their fangirling.
He never got the concept as to why he was treated at such a high pedestal. He was just one normal man who happened to be in one of the professions like everyone else.
But just he was surrounded by media all the time, but that doesn't change the fact that he worked like everyone else only.
If someone thought that modelling was easy then they were so wrong, because it was like walking on fire with every eye fixed on you and one wrong move can spoil your entire career. So how did it make it any different from the business world?
Rex leaned in close to his ears and whispered, "It seemed to me as they are all ready to seduce you right here".
"Shut up. You know what will happen even if they laid their eyes on me, so what's the point of bringing it up?" Ashton shrugged the idea away instantly and as his phone rang, Rex excused himself whilst Ashton hot engrossed in signing his name on his admirers’ hands.
He was completely occupied in his activity only in a while answering their questions when he felt someone gazing at him intently. It continued for a few seconds until he decided to raise his eyes finally to see the person but all he met was speeding black cars passing the area but no one dared to even look in that direction. How weird?
"Who was that?" He inquired the girls who gulped but immediately went away leaving him with a scowl on his face.
It was the first time ever he visited Austria in years because his shooting was mostly scheduled in US, UK, and France, but on analysing his hometown now after years, he felt as if he doesn't know the place only.
"Why is this city becoming so strange?" He wondered and just then Rex came back with a blonde girl by his side, who gave a wink to Ashton sharing a brotherly hug.
"I so don't like you hugging my best friend,” Rex complained with a pout making Ashton chuckle in amusement.
"What to do honey, your best friend is a better option than you!" The blonde girl, Alice teased Sharing a hi-five with Ashton who laughed seeing their usual banter.
The trio hailed in San Francisco for a long time now, but since Ashton was moving hence his friends too decided to take a break from their usual city and explore the heaven of Vienna which seemed alien to them.
"You know I feel here the people are so weird,” Alice stated suddenly as they were looking around in the mall to get something good for the welcome party of Ashton which was held after two days in his parent’s mansion.
“Weird in the weirdest way,” Rex muttered under his breath as some salesman passed him a glare for even staring at the jacket on display.
"I think I will need to take surviving classes here from Alison,” Ashton suggested making Rex laugh loudly earning deadpan looks from the passers-by.
"What???"
"Aren't you forgetting that my future sister in law and your sister is totally whipped by Jones family's elder heir, Derek Jones to even spare others some time.”
He reminded them of the insane lovers who hardly can take out time for other things apart from video chatting with each other all the time.
Alison stayed with her parents in Vienna whilst Derek handled his father's export business in San Francisco along with Rex. And the distance relationship was hard but it was an exciting part of their lives.
"Whatever!"
"How about we spend the evening in Admiral today?" Alice suggested searching on her phone.
The guys gave her annoyed looks at her choice of place, but Rex nudged Ashton to agree because he didn't want to go on a no kissing zone for a month.
"Fine!" They agreed and just then Ashton's phone rang making his eyes lit up in excitement and the couple gave him knowing looks.
"Hey, my love. What's up?"
“Aww, I miss you too baby. Come soon.”
“Alright but don't overdo yourself and I love you.”
Throughout the phone call, his eyes were shining with happiness and love for the person on the other side who was his life whilst the couple smiled as they saw Ashton lost in the picture of the girl who had him wrapped around her fingers.
They just prayed for their friend to be happy always unaware that the case might change soon because…
No one has control over the unpredictable destiny.
But do humans allow their destinies to take over the charge entirely while they act as puppets to it?
The thick blanket of black had spread in the sky when dressed in his black tux Ashton made his way in the Casino Admiral at exactly 8:15. After a hectic day of getting acquainted with his new working place as well as the staff who thought him to be some eye candy, he sure was tired and stiff as a rock.But when his friends made the plan then what power did he acquired to even ditch them for his sleep? What if they broke into the house to drag him with them? Along with his reputation on the line, a lot would have gone on the stake. His beautiful hearing could have been damaged and apart from some mouthful curses, nothing else would reach his ear for the remaining year. So, now he was here looking around the big place filled with people but there was no sign of Alice and Rex who were supposed to reach directly from Rex's office who stayed in the office Penthouse.“Where are these two lovers?" He mused.“Please, don’t tell me they got another corner to have their million-dollar make-out
It has been two days since her adventurous meet with the finest specimen of the male population. There has been an altogether different energy revolving around her which was of course hard for her to understand. But anyway, she tried to do while having the time of her life in the swimming pool enjoying the starry night in her own unique way.The famous Jessie J, Ariana Grande's, and Nicki Minaj's Bang Bang filled the swimming area of the Thompson Glass House.Her hourglass figure dipped in the water and like a fish swimming across an ocean she swam in a zig-zag way halting her breath for a minute until she reached to the other end of the pool.An activity at which she was an expert; something which she used often against her arch enemies.Simone pulled herself up at the end; took a sip of the lemonade kept on the side stall of the pool.Her secretary Shanzy waited in her corner with her robe and towel; her head bowed as a way of respect towards the woman who was paying her for years n
'When one's royally messed up then can a Masquerade party do anything to lighten the mood? Certainly, the answer’s no because it only adds to more vexation and makes one feel like an utter shit.' With a constant frown on his head, Ashton sat in the bars of the Walkers Abode and mused. He pulled at the bowtie of his tuxedo constantly bored of wearing that suicidal thing in his neck but still not forgetting to maintain his smile for his family’s sake. According to him, the societal parties were as annoying as the melodramatic soap operas of television.Ironic! He hated both.He gaze shifted continuously from the dance floor to his cell phone; his heart anticipated the call from his only solace in his hectic life but there was no end to this wait.Have you ever waited for someone’s call so much and when they don’t call, you can’t help but feel disappointed with everything? The surroundings no longer interest you while you feel like a moving log with no idea of what was going around."Dam
An entire week passed in a blur for Ashton, but he couldn't just take that dangerous smile out of his system. Like an illusion of the night, he remembered himself dancing with the strangest woman ever who had a predatory smile on her lips throughout an hour of dancing with him. Neither did she say her name or her work, but that smile was scary to him. It felt like a warning. A peculiar warning that he had never felt before. The intensity of it was so high, and cunning that he still felt the same vibes going around him on that day.He sat behind his desk in his office suite in The Great Glacier—dressed up in a formal, three-piece suit; all set to have the first board meeting ever in his life. It was something which made him uncomfortable, but he had no option other than accepting it. It’s the way things were moving forth for him.Yet, he couldn’t concentrate because his ever so preoccupied mind won't just push away the magnetic feel of the two women, he encountered in his first week
Dressed in a pure black outfit with a velvet scarf wrapped around her face, clanking her five-inch stilettos on the tiled floor, she entered the premises of the Great Glacier Hotel.The bodyguards in black followed her with big rifles in their hands. As she passed the corridor, the blonde receptionist stood up petrified and so did the customers, checking in and out of the hotel. Every eye glued on the 5 feet 11 inches tall girl who walked with extreme dynamism around her screaming power, dominance and authority.Except for her brown caramel eyes and rosy pink lips nothing was in view but still one can immediately recognize the beauty she was."Board Room??" She queried in her soft and powerful tone. With two words, she scared the female sitting behind the huge counter. Her eyes were ready to fall of the sockets as she received the stubborn glares from the women security standing behind her latest fear.She looked for help but everyone stood rooted to their spots including the hotel se
Silence like never loomed in the room after the Fire herself admitted her raw intensity to burn people if they don’t adhere to her needs. The man in question still didn’t understand any of the happenings around him because his mind had taken refuge somewhere while his heart dreaded of what was to come.Imagine, coming across such a deadly declaration on your first board meeting! Your senses are bound to stop working while your rationality no longer is your friend. All you want to do is run away and hide before the fire burns you.Ashton wanted to do the same but before he could plan to escape or call for help, in few seconds the girl in front of him covered the distance between them, as whispers echoed in the large well-furnished room. “Too bad, Ashton Walkers! You’re in this city to rule over this seven-star hotel, and you’ve no idea about the lady ruling over entire Austria.” She feigned surprise in her eyes as well as voice but didn't remove the black scarf covering her face. “
Dad!Huh!Really!The hot hunk was a father!And no one knew it!These were the only thoughts running in every person’s mind who stood still in the boardroom. Suddenly, the pregnant pause was not only scary but intriguing as hell. No one knew what to say yet they were excited to know what the Mafia Girl had to say now but the even the terrifying woman was out of any sarcastic remark. It was a first! A shocking first for her because never in her wildest of dreams she had imagined the sexy man to father a beautiful girl.A child with the most mesmerizing eyes she has ever seen in this world.Much more attractive than the hot hunk who was sweating like a swine in front of her, due to the lost words that won't just come back to him.How would he even speak? And what should he even say to all the gaping audience?Simone swivelled her head to look at the women guards who were ready to kiss the floor, trembling in fear.They knew they were in deep shit because they had failed in their jobs a
Ashton dragged Simone to the restroom attached to the boardroom and jerked her inside. She staggered but balanced herself right on the time before her body could touch the ground.Now, the fury she felt was unexplainable, but with that one humiliating jerk of the man she thought was different, it escalated her anger to new heights."How dare you?" Her voice echoed in the entire room, and with one swift move, she pulled out her gun from her jacket pocket, pointed it towards Ashton. She had hit it the second Alisha barged in the room earlier. It was an unconscious move on her part. Not even clever or anything. She just did it out of formality to not scare the child.But certainly, the man didn’t have any regards for her courtesy too. He needed to be taught a lesson for the same."How dare I or how dare you to barge in my hotel and order me like I am your slave? Listen, woman, you might have all the power to scare people in this city, but I am not the right one to be messed up with. So,
