CHAPTER 111

ASHLEY'S POV I didn't expect the tears to come so fast.One second, I was laughing at something stupid Sophie said…and the next, the weight of losing my mum hit me like a truck. The anniversary of my mom's death always did this to me. I could go days feeling okay, functioning like a normal person…until a single moment cracked everything open.I tried to hide it, blinking fast and wiping the corner of my eye like it was nothing.But Jade noticed.She's always the first to notice.“Hey,” she whispered, wrapping an arm around me gently. “Are you okay?”Sophie quieted down instantly. “Ash…”“I'm fine,” I said quickly, voice too small to be convincing. “I just thought of her again.”They didn't say much.

ASHLEY'S POV Sophie wasn't joking when she said we were going all out today.The moment we arrived, she clapped her hands and practically matched us into the salon like a drill sergeant with a credit card.Then she said, “Hair and nail first, then we hit the spa for some massage, shop for some clothes at the boutique and a restaurant for some good food.”She meant all that, too.An hour later, I leaned back in a velvet chair with my eyes half closed while a stylist ran her fingers through my hair, applying serums and sectioning my curls.

CHAPTER 113

ASHLEY'S POV The elevator ride to the penthouse felt longer than usual.My fingers were still trembling from the call. Micheal didn't yell—but his voice was cold, sharp, and demanding. The way he said it gave no room for explanation.As the door slid open, I braced myself.The second I stepped into his penthouse, I saw him pacing by the windows, his hands clenched at his sides, his suit jacket tossed on the couch. His tie was loose around his neck, like even that had become too suffocating. His eyes locked onto me the moment I walked in.“Micheal,” I started carefully, dropping my purse on the nearby table. “What's going on? Why are you so upset?”“You tell me,” he said, his voice low but tight. “Do you make a habit of letting men kiss you when you're out?” My mouth fell open. “Are you serious right now? How could you say that to me?”He moved closer. “Don't play dumb, Ashley. He kissed you. On the cheek, yes…but he had no business to stand that close.”I blinked at him. “Were you
