GOOD GIRL GONE: Here For Your Downfall 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

ASHLEY My lashes barely batted as I stared at his flushed face with a heart that raced like it would explode in any second. “Montgomery? Won't you sit?" Someone spoke and I tore my gaze away from him. “I apologize for being late," he muttered and walked towards me then slumped down into a chair beside me. I shuddered and frowned deeply, my heart twisting in anger. My hand, which was wrapped around the glass of wine, shook as the men turned their attention towards Alex and asked him questions about his plummeting company stocks. I looked at my father and noticed how quiet he had gotten. I guessed he wasn't expecting the son of a bitch at the gathering too. He was the youngest among them all and spoke the most, replying to every single question fired at him. I gripped the glass tighter whenever he spoke and turned to look at me. Half of the time, his eyes were fixed on me, and the other half was spent talking and glancing at my father and the men there. “How is your wife? I h

ASHLEY I shivered and winced as the nurse applied antiseptic to the small cuts after taking out the splinters in my palm. She smiled warmly at me and covered the wounds with a plaster. “It's not that bad, right?" Alex suddenly asked and the nurse turned her attention towards him. “No, it's not," the nurse replied. Alex sighed and squeezed my shoulder, leaning closer to stare at my palm closely. He had been sitting beside me since the nurse started dressing the wounds and hadn't left my side, even for a second, and he hadn't taken his eyes away from my face. He was always whispering soothing words to me whenever the pain struck. “You don't have to be so worried about me, I'm fine now," I muttered but he shook his head. “No, I'm fine being here, besides, I would be home if I wasn't here," he said and my brows raised. “Then… you should have gone home," I replied. The smile on his face faded and his eyes darkened at my words. I could see his fist clench and his eyes narrow in a

LILIAN I still hadn't recovered from the shock when we reached our apartment but I still tried to remain strong even though I was breaking and dying inside.I slumped to the ground when the elevator door slammed shut and burst into tears, running my hand through my disheveled hair.Alex's words to me in the garage forced chills to run down my spine and reminded me of that witch. She was using him against me and I wouldn't let her win. She didn't win years ago and she wouldn't win now. I had been smarter than her and took years to weave her destruction without her knowledge and I would destroy her again and again.I knew just how to destroy her and take back everything that belonged to me.The elevator doors slid open, and I got up and then walked out. I took out my phone and dialed a number, pacing around the corridor until the lines connected.“Long time, Liliy," an annoying voice that I had avoided for years boomed into my ear.My face scrunched up in disgust and my eyes slammed sh

ASHLEY I rang the doorbell when I climbed onto his porch. It felt like he was already waiting for me at the door with how fast he pulled the door open. “Hi," I forced a smile at him. Jasper's grin widened and he nodded, “It's a good thing you came," he chuckled and pulled the door wider. I forced a chuckle and walked in, taking in the sweet comforting scent that floated around the room as I walked towards the peach colored couch. “I thought you'd say no," Skylar's voice came up. The smile on my face faded, and I shifted my gaze to the kitchen door where he stood, leaning on the door jamb with the glass of wine swinging in his hand. He still had his eyes on me with that chilling glare still directed at me. "I know that's what you wished for,” I nearly snarled at him. He chuckled slowly with a frown still stuck on his face, and gulped the wine then slid into the kitchen. I let out a sigh and sat down while the rage slowly faded. "Skylar can be difficult sometimes,” Jasper sai

ASHLEY I rushed out of the car and sneaked into the bar club, my head bent and hand clutching tight to my bag while I made my way to the seat at an obscure path of the buzzing bar.I sat down and pulled off the mask over my face then scanned the bar with my eyes until they fell on Silas. He was sitting at another corner in the bar, a bottle of beer in his hand while he nodded his head to the music playing. As if he knew someone was watching, he paused and swung his head around in my direction and our eyes met. My breath hitched for a second and I quickly looked away, fumbling for nothing inside my black bag.I looked up again after some minutes and our eyes locked again. He was still staring at me which meant he recognized me. I flashed a smile at him and nodded my head and he smiled back, indicating he knew what to do. The scar that Lilian left on his face was still there, glaring at me.I chuckled and looked away, flashes of that gruesome day creeping into my mind.To show her loya
