All Chapters of ASH THUNDER: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 51At what point I became obsessed with the finer things in life, I do not know, but as I stare at the beautiful bag on the rack, I just have to take it home with me."And that one as well." I say, pointing to it."Right away, ma'am." The sales girl that's been following me around with the rest of the things I bought, says as she picks it.I continue to walk around, looking longingly at some pair of shoes, and wishing I could also buy them. After physically tearing myself away from another swoon-worthy bag, I turn to her. "That will be all."She hides her smile and nods as we make our way to the cashier. The things I bought are rung up, and I hand the cashier the money, making me ten thousand dollars less-rich.Don't judge me. I like to splurge.The sales girl scurries after me, laden with all I purchased and helps put them behind my brand-new Tesla car. I bring out a hundred dollar bill and hand it to

Chapter 53 The day we are born is the day we are marked for death. Words, father thew at me when I was still a child, echo loudly in my mind, the moment I wake and become aware of my surroundings. Beside me, Hazel eyes tosses fitfully, her full lips parting and eliciting a loud moan. They bring back to mind the situation that took place an hour ago. Thank goodness for the tranquilizers the doctor gave her, otherwise it would have been a different story. The echoes of her screams still fill my ears. The glare from the overhead light cuts directly into my eyes, intensifying the pounding in my head. It's as if someone's hitting a hammer against my cranium. I deserve it anyway. I deserve feeling this way for putting Tanya in harm's way. For getting her killed. Granted, I didn't pull the trigger, but I could have as well done so. I should have been more alert. I should have told her not to go to the apartment she and Alicia stayed. I should have taken more precautions. So many I shou

Chapter 55 I know the exact moment Ash steps inside the room. I know, because I've been feigning sleep for the past three hours since he stepped out of it. I know the moment he cuts his eyes toward me, so I fake a light snore as he walks closer to me. Goose pimples break out all over my body as I feel myself being appraised. I can feel his relief. It rolls off him in waves. He's relieved that I'm calm, that I'm asleep. Just when I feel the gig is up, he moves away and his steps become faint as he heads toward the bathroom. I'm afraid I'm going to have to bust his happy bubble right about now. I wait a few minutes before I slide out of the bed. I pull his bedside drawer open and my hand curls around the handle of his gun. It fills me with power and makes me confident. As I walk towards the shower, calmness washes over me. I know what I need to do. I silently open the door that leads to the bathroom and slips inside. Steam. . . so much of it, clouds the air, fogging up the floor-t

Chapter 57 The sounds of owls hooting pierce the stillness of the air. Darkness looms suddenly, chasing away the last glimpses of the sun. The walls of the building begin to look like living creatures to the man as they close in on him. He looks around- at the plastered walls where no paint graces them, and then at the floor which is littered with sand, broken blocks, and wood. His eyes sweep across the bare room and beyond it, then cling to the windows and the broken shutters hanging from the rusty hinges as they rattle against the walls. His lips curl in disgust as he shakes his head. "This whole building is a picture of decadence." He laughs and shakes his head once more before settling for a shrug. "It's a price I have to pay for what I'm going to do. I can't fail now." He stands from the stool he is perched on and stretches before walking to one of the windows. Even in the dying light, he can make out the tombstones rising from the earth a short distance away from the house. H

Chapter 59 "Why are there so many guards? It's like we can't move an inch without one popping up to ask you where you're going." Clarissa laments as we step through the gate. I can sense the annoyance coating her words. Heck - I'm annoyed as well. Wrong! I'm livid. But I get it. Ash is trying to keep me safe. That's fine, that doesn't mean I have to like it. I mean, I'm thankful and all that he cares, but I feel smothered. I'm still ruminating on this as we finally step through the gate when a cab stops directly in front of me. I thank my stars as I flag it down and enter. Clarissa looks behind her, and I wonder what she's thinking, and then it hits me. She's waiting for Night Eyes, or someone else, to come barging out and stop us. Unfortunately for her, that does not happen as she gets inside, her movements slow and sluggish. She situates herself in the front seat, and I think it's just as well because this way I will be left in peace with my thoughts. The cab drives fast, and b
