Chapter Thirty-One

Bruce had his curious eyes on Ashley. For some unknown reason, he was expecting her to answer his question.“I was just telling your wife how lovely she looked in her dress.” Ashley lied smoothly. She made the comment knowing Rachel was not as dressed as she was. It was a subtle jab thrown at her enemy.Rachel understood Ashley was belittling her outfit. But that was of little concern to her. What Ashley had said about Lilian. The questions she had asked. Rachel couldn't wrap her head around it. Who was this lady?Rachel glanced at her. Her fear for this strange fiancee of her brother-in-law doubled. She swallowed again, attempting to look as relaxed as Ashley. Bruce turned to his wife briefly before focusing his gaze back on Ashley. “Yes, she does look beautiful. And I can say quite the same of you. I was going to mention earlier, you look stunning Ashley.” Bruce complimented. His gaze lingered on her exposed flesh as her dress had shifted up her legs when she crossed them over.If

Chapter Thirty-Two

Dinner started off quietly, with only the clattering of cutleries filling the air. The meal of garlic mashed potatoes with roasted turkey was delicious and Ashley filled herself heartily.“The food was delicious.” She commended Mrs Leon as they feast on the fruit custard served for dessert.Mrs Leon smiled with appreciation. If there was one thing she loved, it was getting praises for her cooking.“My wife sure has great culinary skills. I can give you that.” Mr Leon remarked with pride adorning his tone. “That's one of the reasons why I love her. Good food everyday.” Mr Leon whispered in addition.“Oh please.” Mrs Leon crimsoned with embarrassment. “Stop being silly.” She jokingly chided her husband.Everyone at the table laughed. For once, the ambience was warm and relaxed until Bruce spoke. The sound of his voice always irked Ashley. “So Ashley, do you cook?” Ashley rolled her eyes inwardly. Small talks! All so he could talk to her. She wondered how Lilian never saw this side of

Chapter Thirty-Three

“What was all that about?” Rachel shot at Bruce once they had left his parents and had begun driving home. “What?” Bruce asked genuinely. He had not noticed how upset Rachel was. “Don't give me that! You damn well know what I'm talking about!” Bruce sighed. “If I did I wouldn't be asking… Baby can you just tell me what it is.” His endearment was aimed at diffusing her fury. He was in a good mood and did not intend to spoil it by having banter with Rachel. “Maybe you could thank me by treating me to coffee sometime and then we can begin talks about business.” she mimicked him, her tone sarcastic and her expression adorned with disgust. Bruce rolled his eyes as he tried to work his way through her statement. He didn't think that was the cause of her rotten mood. “What is it about that? I was expressing my intention to do business with her. You know how much we have been trying to get a partnership with her father but his reluctance has always made it impossible.” He defended.

Chapter Thirty-Four

Ashley cussed under her breath. She had forgotten about him and didn't think he would take her promise seriously when she said they'd talk after her return.“Paul.” She called in greeting. “You shouldn't have waited up for me.” “You stayed out late.” Paul stated with authority. His tone was stern and angry. “I was waiting for you.”Ashley raised her eyes and met his. He was beginning to get under her nerves with his constant whines for her attention. Who was he to determine when she went and when she returned? “I didn't ask you to.” She responded offhandedly as she cracked her neck to ease the dull ache she felt. She was exhausted and the last thing she wanted to do was to deal with Paul.‘You said we'd talk.”“I’m tired, Paul.” Ashley said over her shoulders, already making her way to her room.Paul's eyes glowed with rage. Her indifference to him was affecting him in many ways than he could admit and awakening in him something he had fought to bury.“Let me guess. He took you and

Chapter Thirty-Five

“She couldn't have asked you that.” Bruce said to his wife, refusing to believe what she had just told him. “I'm telling you she did. She was asking too many questions about Lilian.” Rachel insisted.“What use is the information to her?” Bruce asked, voicing out his thoughts.Rachel, who had not realized that her husband was only thinking out the question in his mind, responded. “I don't know.” “How did she even come to know about Lilian?” He turned to Rachel this time, expecting her to answer.“She said DJ-”“That swine!” Bruce spat with venom. Hatred for his brother filled him and he began to see all of this as he did every other thing; a dirty competition with his brother.Bruce immediately convinced himself that his brother was only trying to sabotage his future business dealing with Ashley by painting a bad picture of him, ruining his reputation.“I think she was just curious. Only heaven knows what DJ had told her just to paint me bad. You know he is interested in investing in

Chapter Thirty-Six

Ashley sat in the restaurant all by herself, alone with her thoughts. The cup of hot coffee she had requested sat on the table, long forgotten and now cold. Her vision blurred and her mind in disarray, she paid no attention to the figure that walked past her table. She was tired of everything. She was tired of the life and everything that came with it. She was more confused than ever on who to trust. She needed someone by her side as she embarked on this journey. She missed her carefree self. The happy Lilian who saw the good in everyone and loved life without the constant fear and suspicion. But that path hadn't been so kind to her. She had had her fair share of betrayal in her past life with her closest pair stabbing her so brutally. She didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. And she needed someone by her side to advance her plans, not just anyone but the right one. A person she could trust wholeheartedly. She sighed as the thought of it all exhausted her. She just wanted t

Chapter Thirty-seven

Pamela was more than baffled with the strange woman claiming to be her long lost friend. The switch from being all joys and cheers into an erupted volcano of tears surprised her and left her speechless.“Are you alright?” Pamela asked the weeping woman tentatively. She was unsure how to address the situation. She had even begun to consider the fact that Ashley might be crazy. Still, she retrieved the box of tissues kept on the table and offered it to Ashley.Ashley sniffed, reached out and pulled some tissues from the box Pamela had offered. She blew her nose into the tissue. “I'm sorry.” Ashley apologized and sniffed again.“It's okay. Are you feeling better?” Pamela asked and Ashley nodded in response.“Thank you.” Ashley told Pamela as she stood up from the seat. “I'm sorry for the bother.” She apologized again. Pamela's order arrived just as Ashley was about to leave. “You know I can't finish all these by myself?” Pamela said. It was an invitation to Ashley as Pamela thought t

Chapter Thirty-Eight

“Dad, I want to go away for a month.” Ashley said to her father later that evening after they had dined. They were alone and having a father and daughter moment when Ashley suddenly blurted out her intentions.With everything that had recently happened, she needed a break from all of it before she lost herself.Mr Knox gave her a ridiculous look. The fear in his eyes was palpable. “Why?” The single question was filled with bewilderment.She chuckled. Understanding lit her eyes. “I'll be fine.” She tried to reassure him.She knew why he reacted that way. The last time his daughter went away was when he received the news of her death. Mr Knox didn't want to take any chances. Even though Ashley was taking permission from him, unlike his late daughter who just stole money from him and ran off, he still couldn't help but worry about the outcome of going far away from him.“I know you're worried, but you'll agree that I've been a good girl all the while and I promise I'll continue to be e

Chapter Thirty-Nine

“I hope we are on the right lane this time.” Pamela whined in exhaustion. They have been going in circles unable to pinpoint their exact destination; DJ's house. This was the third driveway Ashley was taking and she hoped that they were on the right way this time. “If this isn't it, I'd suggest we go back home and just call him over the phone.” Pamela continued her whining. Ashley rolled her eyes listening to Pamela complain. She didn't want to inform DJ of her visit and so didn't call him for the address. She retorted to other means in getting his contact address. Ashley hadn't been to DJ's house before. Because she hadn't thought of it and he hadn't offered. She thought it was because he was trying to make her comfortable around him first, especially since she had just had the accident then and remembered nothing about her life. An involuntary smile graced her lips as she thought of how gentlemanly DJ was. Sweet and nothing like his younger brother, Bruce. “Why are you smiling

Chapter Forty

“Is he really Bruce's brother?” Pamela asked in a whisper as DJ led the way to his apartment.“Why didn't you ever mention that he was made to perfection? He is so fine!” Pamela drawled on her last word. Her eyes traveled up and down DJ's bare back to the slim of his waist that disappeared into faded denim jeans.Ashley couldn't deny that the sight was entertaining and like Pamela, she couldn't stop looking.“Behave!” She chided Pamela through gritted teeth.They reached DJ's front porch and he stepped up and held the door open for both women. He directed them to his living room and offered them seats.The house was warm and welcoming. The interiors, typical of a single man but neat. Simple furniture; a centre bear rug, sitting a small centre table. A large TV and few artificial flower vases here and there at strategic locations. He had three paintings on the wall; a popular basketball player, an intricate piece of painting to which Ashley couldn't interpret any meaning to and a woma
