Her short dress was making her slender legs look longer and he couldn't help admire her back view.She finally reached their room with him at her trail.His eyes fell on the blood on her knuckles and he cursed in his mind at his wife's violent behaviour.He sent his bodyguard's to protect her only to know later that the guy she started punching needed protection from her instead.This girl was full of surprise and he since childhood hated surprises.Without even bothering to clean her hands or change her dress she just laid down on the duvet and closed her eyes.He gently wiped a wet cloth over her knuckles to see redness on her skin.As his fingers traced her knuckles she moved in her sleep making him suddenly move back from her.He decided to leave when her voice stopped him."You care.....you care then why do you say you don't?"He was shocked to even move a muscle.As her brown eyes stared into his for trut

"Hatred is the only thing I can afford to see in your eyes for me.For I was surviving on necessity and your love for me was an unaffordable luxury."....................................................Her gloved palms were placed on the golden retriever's chest.The heartbeat was there but a few beats slower.Without wasting a second she had injected the 10-year-old with the required medicine.The dog owner was looking at her with desperate pleading eyes and Elle knew how she felt.Tears were leaking down the dog's eyes and she could see how much it was suffering.Patting its head gently she just hoped it could survive this.Jake stood back with another dose of medicine in his hand and a nod from her side made him inject it."Will....my Sammy be fine?"The owner asked Elle with her eyes still fixed on her 10-year-old co

She looked back up to stare into her husband's cold eyes.He looked mad at her for not following such a simple order.But it was not that easy you see.Before she could even hold his coat and stick to him, others have already stuck to him like bees sticking on honey.This was his personal elevator which she had not noticed the last time she came here.Looking around she found everything to be gold with a mirror at the ceiling."These people are crazy!! Now I know who inflated this big balloon of ego you carry along!"Not bothering of replying her he kept checked the emails on his phone."Who puts a mirror there?"She said pointing to the top of the elevator.Ashton did not even bother to see where this 'there' of hers was."I mean the architect who designed this building was stupid or what? Glass mirror on the ceiling when they should b

"Can I hug you, Elle?"Elle looked up to see how excited Lorena was.She was nearly jumping with excitement and before Elle could reply she was embraced in her arms.Elle for once felt so wrong about herself.This girl here was everything she didn't think she would be.A throat was cleared in the background and both broke their hug to see a stunned Ashton standing there.His eyes for once looked genuinely surprised."Ash you are back!! I met Elle again today...she is such a sweet girl!"Ashton internally laughed at her statement.Sweet and this girl.She was anything but sweet."I think you forgot your last encounter with her I guess?"He said smirking while placing the files on his table.Elle stomped her foot as Ashton took a hidden glance at her.She gave him exactly the reaction he wanted."Oh that...it was just a bad start... anyways tomorrow Elle is coming to my place and we both are h

They sat inside a five-star French restaurant with waiters giving them special treatment.After all who doesn't know who Ashton Lockwood was and what he did.Her eyes were scanning the menu card to only decipher the pictures.The French names went over her head just like the language itself did.Unknown to her as her eyes were scanning the card his eyes were scanning her.In the candlelights, those eyes looked like they were dancing and her lips were opening and closing trying to pronounce the French words in the menu.He felt his junior going out of control and he cursed in his mind.He tried to look down to avoid her face to only make his eyes land on her cleavage.She felt his behaviour to be a bit weird.Not that he was normal usually but today he seemed more abnormal than normal.She followed his gaze and found it extremely uncomfortable.Pulling up the menu card she blocked his view of her cleavage."D
