She smoothened her dress and once more gave a look in the mirror to assure she was presentable. She stepped out of the washroom and thought, "I don't want to do this. But Ashton being here. I am left with no other choice." " I am resigning today." and with determination Bella went to talk to the authorities.Bella hastily typed a resignation letter and took its print out to hand it over. She knocked at the door with her trembling hand and entered in when Ashton gave her permission. She was going to act cool. She had decided that she will calmly hand over her resignation letter and walk the office like some dope shot. " Good morning Sir. Here is my resignation letter sir.", with this Bella kept resignation on table and proceeded to make a show stopping exit when Ashton called her. " May I know the reason?", Ashton spoke while looking at Bella. " It's written in the letter sir.", Bella replied and started to go out again. " Okay I won't stop you. But don't forget to pay the penalty

Bella maintained a stern face and for milli second looked at the glass wall. And there Ashton was hugging a girl with a big smile on his face. And she regreted instantly, looking at the glass wall, looking at him wasn't a good idea. And her broken heart broke once again if that was even possible. " How can I trust you Ashton when your words and actions are so freaking contrary, how?" was all Bella thought. The girl was smiling while looking at Ashton to which he flashed his bright smile beaming with happiness and Bella felt a pang of jealousy. Bella wanted to go in his cabin and pull that girl and Ashton apart from their didn't seem to end hug. Her breathing was getting raged in anger. Here a moment ago he dropped a note apologising for the crap he said to Peter and was asking her to trust him, believe him. And now he was smiling like a maniac and wasn't stopping that girl. Hell she was getting too clinging, couldn't he see that. If glares could burn then this girl would have turne

Peter dragged Jacob with him no matter how much Bella tired to protest as Jacob too tried to decline but to no avail, Jacob gave Bella a puppy look wanting her to stop Peter but she only chuckled at his cute expression looking at him helplessly. " Bella, would you mind dancing with me? " and Bella's jaw dropped as Ashton forwarded his hand. Bella stared at Ashton with open mouth and shocked eyes but Ashton's constant intent gaze pulled her out of her thoughts. She cleared her throat and tried to fetch some words from his mind that was currently filled with jumbled thoughts. She grabbed a glass of cold drink from the waiter who was passing by her trying to clear her mind and to buy sometime as she was still thinking how to answer or to be specific how to deny his request. " Sorry Sir but I will have to decline." and with that Bella took a sip of her cold drink keeping her casual act." Why....??" it was all that rolled out of his tongue. " Yes Sir, it won't be nice to dance with so

" Ahhh " Ashton clutched his head as he felt throbbing pain in his head. It was like someone was hammering it mercilessly. Granted, it was him who decided to drink to the point he wasn't even able to stand up.Ashton ran his hand near his bed side table in an attempt to find water. God this alcohol. Earlier his alcohol tolerance was commendable, he didn't use to get drunk so easily and such hangovers were rare but since the day Bella had told him to quit drinking, he didn't touch alcohol since that day until yesterday. Even if that was hard and his body used to shiver urging for alcohol. He didn't know why it was that he lost control and got drunk. Maybe because he couldn't stand the fact that after their dance she would just go with caveman-- he meant Jacob. Or maybe he just wanted to see if she would care if he got drunk. If that would matter to her. When Bella didn't say a word and left him there. At that time Ashton felt like she chose Jacob over him. Ahhhh, this hangover. His e

The drive was silent or rather awkward as no one them said a word. It felt like the heavy quietness had engulfed their surrounding but there was a strom going on in their hearts. Both wanted to say so much but the words died before rolling out of their lips. Ashton was cussing at himself for everything and anything while Bella really wanted to know why Ashton was so late, earlier she was worried but now she was curious.But she killed her curiosity.And he murdered his thoughts.During whole car ride Ashton kept his eyes fixed at front and Bella stared blankly outside at the passing trees as if the trees were something so fascinating. The car stopped with a jerk when they reached their destination. Bella looked at the restaurant being awestruck. Of course riches were on another level. The exterior was so extravagant that Bella wonder how was interior going to be? And heck if she was going to be disappointed.The restaurant from the inside was equally appealing and fantastic. Wide hall
