All Chapters of Ashes of Desire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Tears streamed down ivy's face, as she stared at the monster in front of her.Ronan on the other hand, his expression softened a bit when he saw her crying he let go of her face but remained squatting in front of her."I am sorry my jewel I never meant to hit I just don't like it when you disobey me " He muttered with a smile he stretched forth his hand to pat her on the head but ivy dragged her body backward with her butt.Seeing her move away Ronan didn't get upset but instead burst into a short laughter."It's okay Jewel but I am not a bad guy here " he mumbled but ivy still kept her distance.He rose up to his feet and dusted the invisible dirt of his palm."Take your shower and wait here, a make up artist and a fashion designer would be here soon " he said casually."Why...." Ivy stammered fearfully."It's our engagement party this evening it will take place in Just a few hours " Ronan cut her off.He didn't wait for her to say another word before he stepped out of the room , loc

Meanwhile when the two couples were wrapped in each other's embrace Ronan was roaring around like a mad man.He had failed to notice that Ivy had been gone for a while now and still hasn't returned to the ball room.He just found out after two hours, he immediately rushed to the restroom but he couldn't find her anywhere, his guards were quickly ordered to look for her but no one could find her until they checked the security footage and saw Damon take ivy with him."F**k!!! " He yelled and smashed his phone angrily on the floor.His face was red from anger and veins were even all over his face . Ronan had never expected Damon to actually take ivy back especially not after he held an engagement party letting everyone know ivy his fiance.Different thoughts ran through Ronan's mind as he boiled in anger.THAT SAME NIGHT ORION'S ROOM Orion lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, his fingertip brushing against his lips. A faint smile curved there as he replayed the kiss he had shared

LATER THAT NIGHT ~ 10PM ~ LEAH’S APARTMENTLeah trudged up the stairs to the apartment she shared with Daniel. The elevators had been out of service for days, forcing her to climb the flights despite her worsening condition.Her breaths grew heavier with each step. She wasn’t feeling well—her time of the month always came with high fevers and unbearable cramps. That morning, she had swallowed five painkillers just to survive school and work, but their effect had long worn off. Now, she was in agony.Finally reaching their floor, Leah pushed the stairwell door open and staggered toward the apartment. She knocked, expecting Daniel to open quickly.It took five minutes before the door finally swung open. Daniel stood there, blocking the doorway with a scowl.“Daniel… can you please move? I’m not feeling well,” she pleaded weakly.“Of course you’re not feeling well,” he scoffed. “Do you even know what time it is?”“I didn’t mean to come late. The traffic was terrible, and it was hard to g

Once she was inside the room she laid on the bed staring at the ceiling while recalling her conversation and interaction with Orion. She was unaware of when she started smiling like a fool , she immediately sat upright and placed her hands on her face. "This is wrong , I am far too older than him I shouldn't be smiling while thinking about him , it is wrong also I could ruin my own reputation and lose my job I have to stay away from him no matter what God knows what will happen if someone from school accidentally sees us together " She mumbled lowly to herself. Her eyes suddenly started darting around the room and landed on the box of chocolate he had gotten for her. She picked it up and tore it open then threw one into her mouth. "I wonder how he knew I loved dark chocolate " She mumbled, she suddenly realized that her clothes were no longer in where she left. "Wait did he already pack them t

Her cheeks heated, but she parted her lips anyway. Damon slid the strawberry past them, his eyes never leaving hers as she bit into it. Sweetness burst on her tongue, but it was nothing compared to the taste of him still lingering in her mouth.He brushed his thumb across her lower lip to wipe a drop of juice, then slowly brought that same thumb to his mouth, licking it clean in a way that made her knees weak.Her heart pounded violently. Looking at Damon she knew she had already fallen in love with him.She knew it was wrong because Damon was another woman man but something inside her wanted to ignore that fact and just keep him for herself.Without realizing it tears started coming out from her eyes, Damon panicked upon seeing this."Doll did I hurt you ? " He asked worriedly.Ivy suddenly began to cry even harder everything about Damon was just so perfect , he was caring protective and every woman's dreams.While sitting on his lap she leaned in closer wrapped her hands around his
