Episode 34
Many have warmed my be-ds in past
But only you are capable to warm my heart.
………………………………………….
He was staring at the desperate girl who had her arms wra-pped around his n£¢k.
His cold eyes taking in her every move as she tries to s£dûç£him.
“You are too rigid…just loos£n up a bit”
Her manicured f!ngerstracing his biceps as he tried controlling his anger.
“Are you here to s£dûç£me, Chloe? Or can we come to the point”
“Oh come on Ashton…let’s enjoy our night first, the business can wait.”
Ashton fisted his hands in frustration but refused to show it.
Herl-ips trailed his n£¢k and his mind drifted to the gentle
inexperienced k!sses his wife used to shower him with.
How badly he wanted to k!ssthosel-ips, how badly he wanted to see those innocent eyes.
He was missing his ugly duckling and he wished her to be in his safe arms right now.
“You are the first man not to be turned on by me Ashton”
His eyes landed on her green ones as he tried finding Elle’s innocence in them.
But sadly they were far from innocent.
Her extended nails trailed hisl-ips and it took everything in him to not push her aside.
“I wonder if I am not doing it right or you are not interested.”
He can’t show that he is not interested.
She is his final paw in this game.
gr-abbing her hair in his fist he turned her n£¢k back to breathe heavily on her n£¢k.
Using another hand to pu-ll up her leg he pushed her back ma-king her land on the glas-s table of his office.
“You are dealing with a beast Chloe, I suggest you not to provoke me”
She smiled enjoying his dominant ways.
His words ma-king her legs turn to jelly.
Her hands moved up to gr-ab his hair when he st©pped her by gr-abbing her wrists above her head.
“Girls like you pl@ywith boys for fun Chloe, but remember I am not a boy, I am a man and everything I do is purely business”
He has made his intention clear but sadly she was least concerned about it.
Her beautiful green eyes only showed lvst while his showed coldness.
His grip on her wrists ti-ght£ñed as he heard her m0@n un-der him.
He always used to say that he loved green eyes and blonde hair.
His dream girl had these features.
Then just why holding onto her silky blonde hair in his fists and staring at those dreamy eyes of hers made him feel nothing.
Then just why those brown orbs were the only eyes he wished to see and that messy tangled hair, the only thing he wished to t©uçh.
A knock on his door made him step back from her.
Disappointment in her eyes in contrast to relief in his.
“Have you Fu*** lost it, Ashton!! How dare you!”
ru-bbing his temple he refused to turn around, knowing who was standing there.
Chloe pu-ll-ed down her Sk-irt and this action was not hidden from the intruder’s eyes.
Chloe had her hand in fists as she wished to punch the girl who managed to intrude in.
But realising who she is, Chloe smiled at her.
“Oh, Lorena what a plea-sant surprise! We haven’t met in ages love”
Lori replied with silence, as her accusing stare remained fixed at him.
“Chloe will you plea-se excuse us ”
She stomped her feet in anger but still followed his instructions and left them to silence.
“Have you called her?”
Her question made Ashton sigh in defeat.
Not re-ady for another heated argument.
“How can you do this to her Ash!! She fuc*** loves you for god sake!! ”
He turned around tilting his head to a side and pickings up a showpiece from the side table.
“And what did I do to her Lori?
He asked least interested in this conversation.
“You !! You are Cheating on her Ash!! How could you? I thought you loved her!!”
“Cheating you say, Lori? But how is it cheating when I have alre-ady divorced her?”
Next, he knows Lori has gr@bb£d his collar with devils dancing in her angry orbs.
“St©p with this sh**! I know you fuc*** love her then why the hell are you doing this!! Tell me, Ash!! Tell me before I decide to kill you right here!! Best friend or not!!”
His silence made her mad.
She wanted to punch the living sh** out of this man.
“Sir we have a problem! It’s urgent!”
John said interrupting them in between.
Ashton nodded adjusting his shi-t as Lori left his collar.
Without another gaze at her, he was gone with Lori screaming profanities at his retreating back.
“What’s it?”
“Sir someone has leaked the news of you divorcing Elle ma’am ”
Ashton hmm in response as he took angry steps towards his office with John at his trail.
“Also this pictured got leaked to media … it’s everywhere now…”
Ashton’s angry gaze fell on the picture of Chloe trying to k!sshim and he crushed the picture in his hands.
“We are still trying to find out who is behind this but-”
“No nee-d, I alre-ady know ”
“You know sir? ”
Ashton nodded in response not bothering to reply.
Taking long strides towards his office seat, he la-id back his head and ru-bbe-d his tired eyes.
“Anything else?”
“Yes, Sir…your pri-vate investigator s£nt this envelope. He said it to be confidential so I decided to hand it over myself”
Placing it on his table, John excused himself from the room.
Ashton’s tired eyes teared open the envelope to only have his whole b©dy freeze in shock.
There in the picture stood his ugly duckling pressed to the che-st of another man.
In another picture, she stared at him with the same intensity with which she used to stare at him.
Jake’s f!nger placed on the side of herl-ip, ma-king his blood boil in anger.
Another one in which he tra-pped her frame between the door and his b©dy.
ma-king a comfortable smile to cover herl-ips.
Ashton’s f!nger traced her smile in the ph0togra-ph.
Longing to feel her next to him.
His eyes remained fixed on her picture as his phone ringed in his pocket.
Knowing who it is he pressed the cell to his ear.
“Only went out for ice cream, is resting inside her premises right now”
“The guy?”
“He left an hour ago”
“Anything suspicious? ”
“No Sir, everything is clear.”
Hanging the call he leaned back in his seat to only get disturbe-d the next second.
Chloe entered his office again, without a single Knock on his door.
Her hands were pressed on her w@!st as she glared at him with irritation.
“You said I just have to get you the do¢v-ment!! You never told me that you will file a case on her!!”
He pu-ll-ed out a cigar from his pocket and lighted it ignoring her accusations.
She stepped closer to him and her gaze fell on the envelope lying on the table.
Her eyes wi-de-ned seeing him spying on his own ex-wife.
“So that’s the reason why you reject me huh? You are still in love with that ugly wife of yours who is fv¢king someone behind your back”
As soon as those words left her mouth a pu-ll was felt on her w@!st as he straddled her on his th!ghs.
His free hand ti-ght£ñed around her n£¢k re-ady to choke her to silence if another word left herl-ips.
Breathing out the smoke of Cigar at her face, she cringed as he smiled at her sadistically.
Tears welled her eyes as he moved hisl-ips closer to her n£¢k.
“I hate it when people betray me, Chloe Sanders, for I only do business with those who earn my trust”
Her eyes wi-de-ned at his words.
“I…I can explain..Ashton..I..”
“Shhhhh”
He said clenching her slender n£¢k in his f!ngersand pressing his f!nger on herl-ips.
“If you think you can use me to get fame then let me tell you who you are actually dealing with.
Ashton Lockwood hates to make his pri-vate affairs public a those who do it pay a hefty price”
“I…thought …you also wanted to make it public …the k!ss…you liked it didn’t you?”
The coldness in his eyes turned to fury and next she knows a cold thing was pressed on her temple.
“St©p pla-ying mind games you b*** or I will b!ow your fuc*** mind this instance.”
He pressed the gun ha-rder on her temple to make her look at him in horror.
“If you think f0rç£fully pressing yourl-ips on me, cl!çk!ng some pictures and leaking them to media will get you fame.
Then think again for you have to be alive to enjoy that fame”
He lifted the lock of his pistol to have her close her eyes in surrender.
Her b©dy was shivering in fear and he liked it.
“plea-se…I…am sorry…I….”
Pushing her away from him, he stood up at his full height.
“Get lost and remember if you ever open up your Fu**** mouth in front of Veronica…I will personally make sure you to end you.”
She nodded, picking up her frame with her shaking hands.
Her green eyes were coated in ruined mascara as she carefully made her way out of his room.
For he was a beast and she thankfully managed to escape his den unharmed.
……………………………………………..
“Elle!!! Open up, woman!!”
Jake stood outside her house, ban-ging her door non st©p to only get silence in reply.
He was scared for her and this made him remember the spare key in the adjoining plant roots.
Pushing open the door he made his way inside calling her name.
He reached her room to be only welcomed with the same deafening silence.
His scared eyes trailing each corner of the room trying to connect with those brown ones.
Only when he went inside the bathroom did he found her.
The smell of vomit made him take a step back as he stared at her slee-ping form.
With head placed on her arm and arm placed on the tub, she was peacefully slee-ping.
He relaxed seeing her breathe and held her up in his arms.
Placing her on the be-d he pu-ll-ed up the quilt to her che-st to only listen to her whispering something.
“Ash …I …Ashton….”
His name made him burn in hate as he stared at her.
Placing a gentle k!sson her forehead he turned around to cook something for her.
When he returned she was alre-ady wi-de awake, trying to clean the washroom of that stinking smell.
pu-lling her back from her arm, he made her sit and have breakfast.
“Nightmares? Or insomnia?”
He asked staring at those eyes which were only focused on the oats in her plate.
Her silence was killing him.
Every time she hides her pain, he is able to see throu-gh it.
“You can tell me, Elle, these things can not continue”
She looked up at him, trying to look confused.
“Which things Jake? What are you talking about?”
He sighed not believing this girl, holding her hands in his he spoke
“See Elle this is what I am talking about! Acting all tough and all in
front of others and crying in backgrounds…you nee-d to move on !”
“I have moved on Jake plus why are you always asking me the same thing again and again! I told you I am fine!!
Why don’t you get it!!”
“That bas*** just declared to this entire world that he has divorced you, he fuc*** k!ssanother girl just a month after leaving you and still you whisper just one fuc*** name every night!!”
His rising anger was ma-king her lose her cool.
“It’s my life, Jake!! Who are you to control what I do and what I don’t do!!
Plus how would you know how it feels to love someone who will never love you.
You don’t know how unrequited love feels Jake!! You don’t know!!!”
Her outbur-st made him tear up from inside.
If only she knew what she was speaking.
Venting someone else’s anger on someone else.
“How madly mistaken you are Elle Hamilton, for unrequited love is the only thing you have ever given me”
His eyes were filled with sadness, how badly he wanted to tell her this but never expected it to be like this.
She froze in shock with her mouth wi-de open.
The reality of the situation falling upon her.
Him… unrequited….her.
Did he mean to say he loved her?
“Wh…at…do you mean?”
“I mean what you have un-derstood Elle!! Yes, I love you!! I have loved you since the day I saw you in that bar dancing on your own tunes.
I have loved you since then to only hide my feelings for you were married to someone else!!”
She looked at him in disbelief.
“I…how could..you Jake…I considered you to be my friend…how…why?”
“Even I don’t know how I fell in love with you Elle fuc*** Hamilton.
I have no clue how and why I felt like that.”
Placing his hand on her cheek he wiped her tear stains.
“But you know I don’t regret it for you are the best thing to happen in my life.
I love spending each second of my life with you and I will never regret it!”
“But Jake…I… can’t…he means so much to me….I can’t even think of anyone else…. plea-se un-derstand…I….
”
“Why Elle !! Why!! Even after he has hurt you so much!! Why can’t you just forget him and see your future with me!!
“I can’t Jake!! We can never have a future okay!! There can be nothing except friendsh!pwhich you are ruining with each word you are speaking!!”
“Friendsh!p? Will that the only thing I will ever be!! You like me, Elle I know, you love me more than friends!
I can see it in your eyes-”
“Just st©p Jake I love you as a friend but nothing more than that!!
How can you even think I love you !! How can I love you when his child is growing in my wo-mb!!”
His hands fell down at his side as he looked at her in shock.
“You…you are pregnant?”
She nodded ma-king him look down in defeat.
She held his face in her palms trying to soothe his pain.
“plea-se Jake you are my best friend…I don’t want to lose you …plea-se try to un-derstand….I have never-”
pu-lling back from her he stepped back ma-king something break inside her.
His eyes refused to meet her as he took slow steps away from her.
Before she could st©p him he had turned around and rushed out of the door.
Her screams begging him to st©p in the background, to which he had gone oblivious to.
“Jake!! plea-se listen!! I….”
Her shaking legs only managed to reach the door when his bike has alre-ady drifted away.
She lost her only friend today.
The thought itself made her let loose the remaining tears stocked inside.
Finding herself to be in the halfway of the road, she desperately looked down the road he went to see if he st©pped for her.
As soon as his bike went out of sight she held her aching head in her hands.
Trying to calm herself she took in de-ep breaths of air with head tilted towards the sky.
Before she knows raindrops were falling on her accompanying the dark clouds in the sky.
It was going to be a stormy night tonight and sadly there was no one at her side.
“I wish I could say I hate you, Ashton Lockwood, for it will be a lie I will be saying to myself”
……………………………………………
“How is it possible Ashton? I don’t believe you! She will never sign a divorce with you… it’s not possible!!”
Lori screamed at him as he had long st©pped reasoning with her.
“I don’t Fu*** care what you believe Lori!! Just get out of my office and leave me in peace!”
“Oh so now you will talk in this tone with me…fine I will go but only after you tell me why you are doing this?
I know you enough to know she is the only woman you will and have ever loved”
“Lori!! plea-se ….you are right I have my reasons but I can’t tell them to you…now plea-se”
“Fine don’t tell me all this but just tell me one this….you didn’t cheat on her with that Chloe…did you?”
Her anxious eyes stared into his boring ones as he gave her his full attention.
“Do you think I am a man of loose character Lori?”
She got her answer.
pu-lling him for a hvg she jumped in relief.
“Oh thank God Ash!! You scared me!! I will kill this media person’s who love spicing up things!!”
“I nee-ded her to get me the secret do¢v-ments that will work as evidence in court. Veronica had paid her to shut her tra-p, I paid her higher to open it”
“That’s my boy!!”
Lori patted his back feeling relieved of her worries.
His phone ringed in his pocket and picked it up at second call.
“We got the will, sir!!
”
He got up from his seat in surprise.
Not expecting good news at such time.
“Good work! I hope no one c@m£ to know that we have it?”
“No sir, I made sure to cover my tracks well but there is a bigger problem here”
“What ?”
“Sir the will makes Elle ma’am to be the rightful heir to all her grandfather’s property after two conditions are satisfied.
First, is her attaining the age of 24?
The second is if she remains unmarried till that age of 24 Since you alre-ady married her, then as per the will you are her guardian till she remains married to you.”
“What are you trying to say? ”
“Sir Veronica Knight is Arnold Knights firstborn daughter.
She is after Elle ma’am not because of you but because of the will.
The news of your divorce has reached her meaning she knows that Elle has now legally claimed all that belongs to her ”
“I don’t see any problem in this attorney? ”
“Sir this is a big problem, till the time you were with her as her husband Veronica couldn’t t©uçh even a single strand of her hair for you were her guardian.
But now after a divorce, Veronica will make every attempt to get that property back ”
“So you mean she will f0rç£ Elle to sign on those property papers?”
“No Sir I wish it was that simple.
Arnold Knight knew about how insane Veronica was.
So he made it clear in his will that his property will not go to her at any cost.
Unless …..”
“Unless what attorney?”
“Unless this will is declared void or if it l@pses.
And that is only possible if all there are no rightful heirs or claimants”
“I mean to say that your wife’s life is in danger sir, to make this will l@pse Veronica will try to kill her”
Ashton couldn’t speak.
His grip on the phone ti-ght£ñed as his heart cringed on the very thought of someone trying to hurt her.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Sir, not only this…24 years back she had tried killing Elle ma’am along with her mother in a car accident.
Luckily she was saved by someone.
Till a few months ago Veronica didn’t even know that she had survived but then when she c@m£ to know, she was alre-ady un-der your guardiansh!p.”
As soon as he ended the call, he didn’t waste a second to call his personal investigator who he hired to look out for Elle.
Fate decided to pl@yits twisted fate as the person on the other side didn’t pick up his call.
Screaming in frustration he smashed the phone on the wall follows by his fist.
Lori was trying to calm him down but it was of no use now.
Her cries fell on deaf ears as he smashed all the furniture in his office.
“Get my pri-vate jet re-ady!! Hurry up !! ”
“Calm down Ashton…just tell me where to?”
“To Cape Town Dammit!! To the residence of my wife!!”
Lori stared at him with surprise but soon followed his command.
She had never seen him like this.
His beast has woken up from de-ep slumber and it was thirsty for only one thing.
Blood
With one last punch on the glas-s mirror decorating the hall, he swore looking at his broken reflection with blood running down his hands.
You t©uçh even a strand of her hair Veronica Knight and
I swear on my life to break each and every bone in your b©dy.
For I am a beast who you just managed to unleash, and I will not st©p till I have my ugly duckling standing safe by my side.
