Soon, they came back from shopping for groceries. Kyle put the stuff on the kitchen shelves. Ashlyn picked up some vegetables and started to rinse them with water."You don't need to do this," Kyle uttered. He was worried for her because he knew she didn't know anything about cooking."You can go out." Without looking at him, she spoke. She was not in a mood to talk to him after what he did in front of his friend, but the idea of making something was given by Jessica.After having her breakfast, she was sad because of Kyle, so just to lighten her mood and inform Jessica what happened there. She dialed her number. Jessica picked up the call on the second ring, and Ashlyn started to speak. She explained everything that had happened in the apartment, so Jessica advised her to win Kyle. Jessica advised her that if she wanted to beat Sophia, then she had to woe Kyle. Sophia was a model and started her acting career recently with the help of her dad, Elijah. Because of modelling and all tho

"Ethan, give me the phone number of Sophia and where your investigator has reached." I raised my eyebrows at him."Sir, I'm trying to reach out to him but he is not picking up my calls." Ethan replied, shivering. I didn't want to scare him, but I couldn't do anything because I was not in a good mood."Damn it. What have you been up to for the last month, Ethan?You can't even hire a good investigator like the one you hired. You don't even know. "Fuck it, " I kicked the chair and stumped my foot."I got his location," Liam spoke."Thank God. Where is he?" I moved towards the system where he was tracking his location."He is in his mansion." Liam frowned."Maybe he had kept Elisa there.""No, I don't think so," I replied."Track Sophia." She'll help me." I said and moved towards the system which Liam used to track Elijah. Ethan gave her cell phone number and Liam moved his fingers over the computer, and within moments, he exclaimed."She is in the mall." I took my keys and ran towards th

Kyle stopped his sedan in front of Branden's mansion. The guard recognized him, so he bowed in respect. Ignoring him, Kyle stormed inside.In the dining hall, Elijah and his wife, Suman, were having breakfast.Witnessing his pace and angry face, guards inside the mansion tried to stop him, but Kyle pushed them and rushed towards the dining hall."Sir, please stop here. The master is having breakfast." One of the guards held Kyle by the shoulder and tried to stop him, but Kyle pushed him too. Elijah listened to their voices, so he exclaimed."It's okay. Let him in." The guards bowed their heads and walked out while Kyle removed the unseen dust from his suit."So what brought you here? Mr. Kyle, Ivan." Elijah was calm. The traces of his hideous crimes were nowhere to be seen."Where are Elisa and Liam?" He wanted to grasp his collar and punch him in the face until it was bleeding, but no, Kyle had to be patient."How could I know?" Elijah shrugged his shoulders. That angered Kyle more.

One more week passed like days. Ashlyn was getting close to Kyle. She started to get ready for him and tried to make him happy. She wanted to get his attention and love. On one hand, she felt insecure also because now her baby was gone, which was the reason behind their marriage, so she thought what would happen to her if Kyle decided to divorce her. Sophia and Kyle's parents were also hell bent on making him marry Sophia. Those thoughts were forcing her to pursue him. She was innocent and didn't know about flirting or seducing things. That's why she started to watch tutorials about getting attention from her husband or how to seduce him. The idea of wearing lingerie and doing good in bed was shameful, she thought, and neglected it, while the other idea of observing him and helping him with his needs clicked with him. She didn't think to seduce him in bed because they were staying in separate rooms, but she started to wear elegant dresses and get ready all the time to look presentable

The next day, when Ashlyn opened her eyes, Kyle was already gone. She sighed but then smiled, remembering the previous night. "I don't know what the thing is between you and that model, but one thing is for sure, I like you. No, I love you, and I wouldn't be able to see you with her. I'm trusting you with everything I have. Just don't break my trust. I won't be able to survive." She pursed her lips and struggled to the washroom. After having a warm, relaxing shower, she went to her closet. She took her knee-length short dress and stood in front of a full-length mirror.The towel around her dropped to her feet. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her whole body was covered with love bites."You're such a beast. I was thinking about why I was feeling sore all over my body." She traced some hickeys with her fingers and then smiled."Still, I like you, my beast." Saying this, she changed into her dress and got ready.She came to the kitchen and went towards the refrigerator for water.
