Chapter 31: I Want You Back

Karl whimpered even more. He had the back of his body resting over the edge of the bed while he sat on the floor. But now he felt his whole body trembling and getting fragile. In seconds, his body slowly fell to the floor, just lying there like a melted jelly. The floor got wet from his tears and the empty red wine bottle that he held was released, lying flat on the floor just like him. "I want you back... I want you back... Tell me how to fix this..." he whispered hoarsely to her through the phone. "You... can't... There's no way to fix this. We're really... over this time," Ashley found it hard for her to speak properly while holding her tears in. "I want you back..." Karl kept repeating those words to Ashley like an insane person. He just stared blankly towards nowhere while his hand gripped his phone hard as if that was the only way he could reach Ashley. Back then, when he decided to marry Lucia, he thought that maybe someday, Ashley would still come back to him, willing to b

Chapter 32: Their Married Life

Hana, along with her husband and their baby finally left the villa after bidding goodbye. Ashley still pondered over Hana's words in the living room even long after that woman had gone. She just sat there on the sofa alone while staring at the floor. Her husband had gone upstairs to take a quick shower and changed his shirt because the smell of barbeque stuck on him. 'Appreciate what you have,' that was the one that kept repeating on her mind like a broken record. She did not know how long she had been sitting there, but the lights in the living room were suddenly turned off by someone. "Are you going to sleep there?" Ashton's voice came from behind her. She turned her head around only to find him standing behind her, leaning his body closer and wrapping both his arms around her shoulders. "You smelt good," Ashley said softly, having her nose got pierced by the exquisite scent of the expensive body gel Ashton usually used. "And you smelt barbeque, I wanted to eat you," he replied h

Chapter 33: Ashton's Birthday

He had married this woman for three months, yet he did not even know that she could not swim. He turned his head swiftly, looking at their pool with his gaze showing a worried expression."From today forward, you're banned from getting nearer to the pool. That was now a restricted area for you. Don't go there. You need to have a swimming class first," he firmly said to her, having his heart anxious now.His mind began to imagine her falling into the pool when no one was around and that thought scared him so much. 'What if she drowns? Gosh, drowning is such a horrible way to die.' That kind of what-if situation began to attack his mind and it suddenly got him feeling paranoid.Martha came to the dining table to refill their drinks and Ashton suddenly gave her some unnecessary extra task."Martha, from now on, you have to make sure my wife doesn't go near the pool, okay? She didn't know how to swim. She might fall in there and drown," Ashton said seriously and that made the servant stun

Chapter 34: Her Insecurities

Ashton didn't care if she was not in her right mind right now. Maybe tomorrow she would probably forget all about it. But what he did care about was the fact that at this very moment, he was finally sure that he loved Ashley so much and that he couldn't imagine his life without her.A smile formed on her face and she wrapped her arms around his neck, clung herself to him and teasingly said to his ear, "I love you too...""My husband is so rich, handsome, kind-hearted and generous human being," she added fondly."That was a lot of adjectives for one person," he joshed."How about adding some more like loving, charming, gentle and irresistible too?" He played along with their witty conversation."That too... But I don't like seeing the other women being nice to you when you're being nice to me...""What's that supposed to mean?" He was confused and then glanced at her that now was just resting her head on his chest, closing her eyes as if talking while asleep."There were some models at
