All Chapters of Ashley's Revenge : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The call made DJ stop to look behind him. His guess wasn't as good as it gets. He had expected Bruce, coming over to taunt him like he did at every other gala event, but was entirely stunned by the female figure that approached them.“What are you doing here?” DJ asked, completely shocked by the presence before him.“I should be asking you that. I would have never thought I would be seeing you here tonight.” The feminine voice responded.“If I had known you would be coming here, then we could have come here together.” She added.Ashley tightened her grip around DJ's hand, a reminder of her presence . They had not disengaged from their dance stance and DJ grasped the hint.“Well, this is my fiancee, Ashley. We came together.” He said, introducing them for the first time. He wouldn't have come with her even though he knew she would be there.“Oh, Hi.” Sonia greeted, extending her hand to Ashley. Her eyes danced over the length of Ashley as she processed DJ information.“You were at my h

Pamela laughed as she reminisced on the event of the evening. They were still standing by the door in front of Ashley's house and DJ had just left after dropping both women off.“Did you see her face! It was a rock!” Pamela remarked amidst hard laughter. Ashley smiled. Pamela's laugh was infectious. Pamela seemed more excited about all of this than she was. Ashley could have thought that Pamela had personal vendetta with the Leon's if she hadn't known better.“Her head was going to blow off with steam when I asked for Bruce's wife and mentioned Lilian.” Pamela slapped her hand on her things as she laughed.Ashley chuckled. “I had not expected that stunt you pulled. It was a perfect shot. Rachel abhors hearing anything Lilian. She fears that topic. Same thing happened when I was at her house questioning her.” “Oh she should. After everything that she has done, she should live in overwhelming fear.” Pamela said.“Come inside.” Ashley urged, turning to open the front door as the laugh

Bruce was boiling with rage when he pulled Rachel to a corner and forcefully yanked her arm around to face him. It was hard for him to keep his anger contained and when he had her cornered, he exploded. “What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you control your senseless anger? Are you trying to ruin everything that we've worked so hard for? What was that for!” His angry breath fanned her face. Rachel was startled by Bruce's fist of rage directed at her. Her eyes stared at him in astonishment. “Didn't you hear what she said?” Still stunned by Bruce's reaction, her voice was surprisingly calm. “What did she say? She had only asked about Lilian. Was that enough for you to bare your canines and want to claw out her eyes like a dog?... In front of all that many people? God dammit, Rachel!” Rachel's eyes welled at the hurtful words Bruce was hurling at her. Her heart bled and pain ripped through her. “It's a sensitive topic for both of us. I mean, I hated the way Pamela raised the t

Standing beside Ashley's swivel office chair, Pamela efficiently read Ashley's schedule for the day from the tablet in her grasp. “You have a meeting with the design team at 9am this morning. And you still have to go over those files.” Pamela pointed to a heap of papers on Ashley's desk.“Mr Mathew called to reschedule his meeting with you at noon. I tried to push him to keep to the agreed time but he's not bulging. So we rescheduled for 9am tomorrow. Would you like me to leave that time open?... If not, I was thinking we could call the manufacturers for the new designs. It'll be a perfect time considering the difference in time zone.” Pamela scrolled up the screen, her attention intently focused on it.“If you'd agree to make the call, then I can clear your itinerary for the rest of the day. Or you could go over to the agency to check with them for the models if you're not up to talking with the manufacturer today. The agency called yesterday to say they were all set. So which would

“And?” Pamela's expectant eyes rested on Ashley.They were now alone again. Bruce had left and Pamela was itching to know what they had talked about.Ashley busied herself with the piled up paperwork, ignoring Pamela.“You're ignoring me.” Pamela said with a pout.“I don't have time to chit chat now Pamela. You can see my workload.” Having a sharp edge to it, Ashley's tone betrayed her wariness of telling Pamela about her progress. Pamela eyed Ashley's seated form as she was engrossed in the file with scrutiny.“You’ve been acting strange. Acting up and giving too much attitude. I just hope you're okay. Maybe I should leave and come back later.” As Pamela stood up from her seat and headed for the door, Ashley shut her eyes and took a deep breath.She had no evidence against Pamela but the doubt in her heart was poking at her. She was even more scared because it was only Pamela who knew her true identity.If Paul's claims were true, then she didn't want to risk telling Pamela too muc
