Alle Kapitel von The Bride He Abandoned : Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

Ashley had no idea why but the tears wouldn’t stop rolling down her cheeks as her driver drove. She tried not to think about everything that had just happened, but her mind kept drifting back to that moment, back to when Caleb had uttered those words, replaying it over and over in her head like a broken record trapped on repeat.“I’m sorry…” she could still hear his voice echoing in her mind, even though they were already miles away from the Montclair estate.She didn’t regret pushing him away but she hated the fact that he had dared to say those words to her when all she had ever wanted back then was for him to believe her.Instead, he had cast her aside and chosen to believe the very woman who had orchestrated everything. And now, after five long years had already passed, he dared to apologize? How dare he?Just then she felt her phone buzzing and pulled it out of her purse with trembling hands. Vicky’s number flashed on the screen.With tear filled eyes, she answered and brought th

The entire room went still for several seconds.For a while, no one dared to speak or move as though they were scared the slightest sound would shatter the moment. Ashley herself was completely stunned. Never in a million years had she expected this to happen. Young master Jamal was hugging her… literally. She felt her cheeks turn red as the realization settled in.Meanwhile, Raphael let out a low whistle, clearly impressed. Across the room, Vicky couldn’t stop smiling. She had waited so long for this moment, and seeing it finally happen made her happier than she could put into words.Catching Ashley’s eye, she flashed her a playful wink before turning toward the nurse and gently steering her toward the door.Raphael chuckled and followed after them, gently closing the door behind them.Once they were gone, Jamal finally pulled away from the hug before settling on the bed beside Ashley.“Did I startle you?” he asked gently, knowing he must have startled her when he hugged her. He ha

“Ashley!” Both Caleb and Jamal yelled in unison, rushing towards her, crunching.“Babe, are you okay?”“Don’t you dare touch me!” Ashley glared at Caleb, hissing from so much pain. “You have no right to touch me, ever. And don’t you ever call me that again. I am not your babe.”Jamal was by her other side too, “are you okay, Ash? Come on, let me help you.” he said softly, helping her get on her feet.“What the fuck!” Caleb yelled, seeing that she wasn’t pushing Jamal away like she did to him.“Get out! I don’t ever want to see you again! You’re dead to me!” Ashley yelled, glaring at Caleb. She couldn’t believe he had the audacity to walk in here talking about forgiveness and getting back together after everything he put her through in the past. How dare he?“I’m so sorry babe. But this asshole started it. You and I are married and we have a daughter together so I have every right to be here. You have no idea how sad I was when I heard you had an accident. I rushed in here because I wa

Having said everything that was on his mind and throwing out his frustration at his family, Caleb turned and was about to walk up stairs to his room when the front doors of the mansion suddenly swung open and Vanessa walked in, looking exhausted and completely disheveled.She was still putting on the same dress she had worn the precise day, and her hair was looking really rough and messy.She had just received a call from one of Skylar’s associates informing her that Skylar had been captured.And although she was really scared that Skylar might expose her, she was also furious that Caleb had gone to see Ashley in the hospital.Before she could speak however, Caroline finally snapped out of her shock. “You wicked witch!” she screamed, her voice dripping with venom. “How dare you show your face in my house after everything you’ve done to destroy this family?”Seeing her mother take the lead, Beatrice immediately joined in. “Mother is right, what the hell are you doing here? My brother a

Jamal and Ashley were so engrossed in their conversation that neither of them noticed a very angry Caleb making his way towards their table.“Oh my God… are you telling me we actually went to the same high school and I never knew?” Ashley asked, her voice filled with disbelief.Jamal chuckled and nodded.“Then how come I don’t remember you?” Ashley asked, still finding the whole thing hard to believe.“Well… that’s because we never really talked. The only time we spoke was the day you accidentally bumped into me. After that, we shared a few classes together and I’d watch you from afar.”Ashley couldn’t help smiling. “So why didn’t you ever come and talk to me?”Jamal let out a quiet laugh. “Oh, trust me… I wanted to. Raphael practically begged me to go introduce myself. He got tired of watching me stare at you from across the classroom.”Ashley laughed softly. “So what stopped you?” Jamal’s smile softened. “You already had someone. And I didn’t want to be the guy who came between you
