Ashes Of Love Episode 1 Novels & Stories

He closed his eyes to hide the overwhelming pain from within, and with all the strength in his arms, he pushed Ace away. His eyes landed on the man's handsome face, and without thinking, Brewster raised his hand and slapped the man hard across the face. "Scum!" He cursed with tears in his eyes. "He's back, and you're still here embracing me? How despicable are you? Haven't you realized that I love you, or are you deliberately trying to make me lose my mind?!" Brewster shouted as his body trembled. His voice broke with each word let out, and more tears escaped his eyes.

I love you. Asher ................ Fat teardrops fell on the screen one after another as she read and reread his love confession in profound disbelief. Her heart contorting painfully in her chest. I love you. Asher loved Shanice. He loved her. The weight of revelation hit Serena like a tidal wave, destroying her beyond hope. A fierce hot pain sliced through her, cutting deep into her bones. The intensity of agony she felt was almost tangible. Breathless, she clutched her wounded heart and collapsed to the floor. Her eyes never drying of tears. Just like that her world had shattered into irreparable pieces and she could only watch.

… Jasmine’s story. My name was Jasmine Chavez. It was not until I saw that video that I realized how utterly wrong I had been. I must avenge my daughter. The hospital announced that Nessa was dead. She never even got to experience a mother's love. The morgue was so terrifying, so cold. Nessa must have been so lonely, all alone. I would kill these people. Tomorrow I would personally send that monster off. With a knife in hand, I waited in the rehearsal room's back corner.

Even after learning the truth, his first reaction when he saw me was still to beg for her. I opened my mouth, but it took me a moment to realize I was actually speaking. "Caleb, let's get a divorce." Caleb's eyes filled with tears. He grabbed my hand and shook it like he was desperate. "I misunderstood you, Jeanette. I was wrong. Can we not go through with it? I love you. I really do." I jerked my hand away and stepped back, locking eyes with him. "You don't love me, Caleb. You love Brianna. I'm holding you responsible for our kid, and she's on the hook for the arson, too."

"Selena.... I said I'm sorry" I could hear him sobbing from the background. "You know, your mother was right, you owe me nothing, perharps I'm truly cursed" I said in anger. "No Selena, none of that is true, Selena I love you" he said. I laughed "Did I just hear you say you love me? You don't really know what that means do you? love my ass! Just get lost!" I hanged up on him and burst into uncontrollable tears.

"The day you let them throw me into that dungeon and left me there to rot in the dark, wondering if you'd ever cared at all." Ash’s face paled. His lips parted, but no sound came out. Just a quiet, broken gasp, like I’d struck him. I stepped closer. Ronan's hand tightened on mine… a silent warning, a reminder that he stood beside me. That I wasn't alone in this confrontation. I squeezed back, my fingers threading through his, anchoring myself in his steady presence before I turned my attention back to Ash. "And love?" The word left my lips like poison. "Yes, Ash. I loved you."

Asher let out a dry laugh like the concept of love was nothing but a sick joke to him. "I still hold a lot of anger towards Axel for not having Tiffany killed. A person can hold a gun to your mother's head and you still let that person get away with it. That's just beyond my understanding. Love does nothing but make you weak." Asher's gaze was capable of boring holes into me. It was almost as if he was asking me to snap out of my dream La La Land and snap back to reality where everything isn't rainbows and bursts of sunshine. It's harsh truths and betrayals.

“ Luciano. Be careful. There are guns everywhere ! “ “ Adeline. I love you “ Asher whispered before his eyes closed making my heartbeat to fasten. Was he dead? Did I kill him-

Someone interrupts and we look around searching for Alexander not spotting him anywhere and Ash lifts his phone showing us that Alexander is on the other end. "I called him when I freaked out.." Soon Alexander grumpy voice is being heard from the speaker again: "Ash your friend just woke up from nearly dying stop talking about rainbows and heaven and start actually interacting with your friend. Oh and please..end this call." Ash blushes a bit and whispers (but we all heard him anyway): "I love you." There is a pause before we hear Alexander reply: "Bye idiota...I love you too." Ash grins and ends the call and looks up at us.

Flashlight and shutter sounds filled the hall as people took pictures of them while some were taking videos of the moment for later documentation. "Adelie..." Asher, who has been silent all along finally spoke up, her eyes boring invisible holes in her body. "I love you. I have always loved you. I know this is wrong, knowing that you are my sister, but I can't help it. I love you with everything in me," Asher confessed to her, and that made everyone feel even more disgusted. She stared at him, broken. She felt her heart breaking into a million pieces, and just like that, tears brimmed in her eyes and found their way down her cheeks. Her fear has finally come true... What she has been avoidin
