บททั้งหมดของ Entangled With The Billionaire Heartbreaker: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

CHAPTER ONE The living room was filled with tension. The words that were spoken by Mr. Walter, her dad's creditor, gave hope to their hearts.It was as if Manna was thrown from above and Mr. Walter was an angel sent from God. As he kept on talking, Ashley moved closer to the last stairs, which were nearer to the living room, hid from their sight, and continued eavesdropping."I'm going to forget about the 10 million dollars you are owing me, and I'm even going to help your company get back on its feet." Mr. Walter said, and she could see her dad smiling."If..." He summoned his lawyer to bring out a file. "Read it out," he commanded the lawyer."Mr. Walter is going to forget about the 10 million dollars you're owing him, and he's even going to help your company get back on its feet and offer you another five million dollars if you allow your daughter to get married to Mr. Walter."Her smile grew broader and broader until it turned into a quick frown when she heard the word after the '

CHAPTER THREE By 2:35 a.m. in the morning, Ashley woke up to proceed with her plan. She stood up from her bed and walked towards her wardrobe to bring out her luggage from where she kept it. She took it and opened it to remove all the unnecessary dust. Then she began throwing in clothes that she would need for her little escape.She packed little clothes, so carrying them wouldn't be a problem. By the time she was done packing, she picked up her phone to check the time. Good, it was 3:01 a.m. She quickly changed her clothes, and soon she was ready to depart. She was ready to run away, to escape.She tiptoed out of her room towards the sitting room. She looked around to be sure that no one was awake. She was sure that no one would be awake by this time. She didn't say anything to her mother, so her mother wasn't aware of her running away; she had already made up her mind, and that was what she would do. She couldn't get married to that old man; now she preferred getting married to any

CHAPTER FIVE The agreement had been made. The contract had been signed. The wedding was over. The young couple made their way to their matrimonial home after the reception. The drive to the house was peaceful and quiet, except for the noise created as Michael rapidly typed on his iPad. He didn't utter a word, and neither did she. The drive lasted for about thirty-three minutes—the longest thirty-three minutes that Ashley could ever imagine. The couple arrived at the mansion, and the golden gate was opened by the gatekeeper. As the driver pulled in, she could see the mansion and how magnificent it looked. Then, she stepped out of the car. She made her way to the front door, amazed at the sight before her. She noticed the intricate gold molding on the pillars flanking the front door. The glittering color was the perfect accent against the beige building, adding an imperial flair to the neo-classical-style mansion. "This is... beautiful!" she gawked, utterly and shamelessly amaze

Chapter Seven The class came to an end. Ashley and her friend, Suzy, found their way out of the hall and headed towards the lagoon front to rest, as their second class for the day would begin two hours later. "So, married woman," Suzy teased her. "Stop it, babe," Ashley cautioned, but she smiled faintly. They had patched things up after Ashley apologized for yelling at Suzy and accusing her of betrayal. It felt good to be on good terms again. "Can't I tease my friend anymore?" Suzy nudged her lightly. "You can, but it’s not even like I married for love. If it wasn’t for my dad, I wouldn’t have married at all," Ashley sighed. "What do you mean? But your husband is so handsome," Suzy said, sounding puzzled. "A husband I know nothing about." "Then why don’t you try getting to know him? If I had a husband that fine, I’d... well, you know," Suzy grinned, her playful nature shining through. Ashley shook her head. "It’s not that simple. Besides, I have my doubts. I think Michael is

CHAPTER 9 The sky was dull. It looked like it was going to rain that morning as Ashley made her way to her early morning class. She contemplated going back to her hostel to get her umbrella but threw the thought out of her head since she was already a quarter of the way to the lecture venue. She didn’t take a cab because she felt she needed to exercise, not knowing it would likely rain. She heard the honk of a car and ignored it as she kept moving until she heard it again. She directed her gaze towards the series of cars passing by. A white Range Rover honked, this time louder. The window rolled down, revealing Justice, one of the hottest guys on campus. “Ashley!” Justice called out, waving at her with a broad smile. Ashley waved back, quite surprised that he knew her name. He was one of the hottest guys on campus, so how come he was familiar with her name? “I’ve been trying to get your attention for quite a while now,” he said. “Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought,” she apologized.
