After the unfortunate death of his grandmother he cancelled his flight for the night. He didn't know how many days he would need to recover but he decided not to go until he's full stable. "Let that bitch enjoy a little before I take her life away" he seethed bitterly. Jason hummed in response and left the room after Carter told him to cancel his flight. After that night, he inspected Reynold and his whereabouts. He didn't know why he was doing that but somehow the man touching his woman didn't settle well with him. After a lot of digging he came to know that Reynold belong to his enemies side. He was the part of the mafia which had been stealing their goods for a while. "It'll be good reason to get rid of him" he sneered, sitting alone in his office. "Mr Carter, Miss Ashley is here to see you" his secretary knocked on the door and informed him. "Let her in" he told her. Few seconds after, Ashely walked in wearing the sleek black dress which had no shoulders or sleeves. "You l

The very next day he went to his parents house. Even after six years there were not able to change their house and lived in the same shady place. He knocked the door and waited at a distance, wearing his sunglasses so they might not recognise him instantly. An old woman in her late fifties opened the door with shivering hands. "What do you need?" Her first question made him take off his glasses immediately. He didn't answer and just watched her face, her wrinkles and faded skin with aging. She was just like before, it felt like nothing changed except that her skin just aged with the time and she had prominent wrinkles now. "I'm Anthony" he spoke after some time as the woman now also looked at his face with much interest as if she was trying to retrieve her memory and struggling to recognise him. Do five years are enough to make you forget someone? He wondered in bewilderment. "Anthony?" His mother croaked out his name in astonishment as she now looked him from head to toe."Ye

She was sore and her legs hurt, she couldn't move herself without difficulty. After having his business done, he already left the room after with plain face. She didn't complain because she certainly needed to be alone. She wanted process all of it. She couldn't comprehend why did he do that all of sudden and didn't even hurt her in the way she expected him to be rather he was gentle and caring throughout. Although he was not such a man. She dragged herself to bathroom so she could wash herself and put on some clean clothes. Maybe some warm shower would help her. All night she kept thinking about that look in his eyes. By any chance, did he have any feelings for her?She was not ready to believe it but the eye contact they held while he dived in to her soul and the same breath they inhaled while gasping in pleasure, and not to forget his eyes became soft for her. Was it all a lie?It can't be!Changing herself into some comfy clothes, she cuddled herself on the couch. She wasn't feel

She was done, she was over past his dirty tactics of hurting her cruelly every time. She knew what she had to do now. Divorce!That was the only fucking way to get rid of him and hide somewhere in the world where he won't be ever able to see her. She will run off to Spain, south Asia or wherever the hell he won't ever step. She dialled the number of her friend who was a legal lawyer dealing with domestic issues. She told him that she needs some divorce papers to be made within a week and she can submit whatever fees it would require. Her friend assured her that it will be done before a week but she will need to state the reason of her divorce very clearly and might need to prove it in the court. She agreed to her terms but Veronica knew well that the matter will never be able to reach court as he would already but everything with one click and the divorce papers will disappear. So she made sure that the divorce papers reach her first and she will be the first one to sign. All th

The very next day, she made all the arrangements for the perfect dinner. Carter as always was in his office so she sneaked into her bathroom and pulled out the papers. She signed them with the pen and then pasted a sticky note on them for Carter to read. She placed the papers back into the secret place as she will only take them with her when the right time will arise. She didn't expect that Ashley would agree so easily and especially Carter who always suspected her for everything. But last night his words hit her somewhere they shouldn't. He doubted her feelings for him, he denied bluntly that she ever loved him. Did she really not love him?She didn't know but what she felt after seeing him as a decent man, she named it love. She said she loved him because he confessed his feelings first for her. But now the mixed feelings of hatred couldn't be named as love. His words made her ponder on herself that if she really ever love him. And the answer was uncertain. She didn't know i
