Chapter 41"I have something to attend to. I will come check up on you later," Miles said to Ashley before he left the hospital to go meet up with Mr. Ace who had called him yesterday that they should meet later.His phone started to ring as he stood at the side of the road minutes later while waiting for a cab, and he checked to see that it was Mr. Ace's assistant, Bryant. He quickly swiped the answer button and held the phone to his ear."Sir, the surgeon has been contacted and he'll be available in a few hours. I have filed a lawsuit against Doctor Henry for sexual harassment and his hospital will be closed down in three days," The corner of Miles's lips twitched into a smirk as he stared into space."Do you need me to do anything else, Sir?" Came the masculine voice again."I want Mrs Carter to be transferred from the hospital immediately," Miles said on the phone."Yes, Boss. She will be taken away from the hospital as soon as the surgeon arrives," Came the masculine voice."Good
Chapter 42Tears streamed down Ashley's cheeks as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her heart wrenched painfully and she could only wish she had other means to save her Mom and not open her legs for that doctor, but what could she possibly do?"Don't cry, Ashley. You need to do everything to save your Mom. You can't give up on her," She said to herself as she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to see the positive side of this no matter how difficult it seemed to be.She lazily reached for her phone and unlocked it. The address Doctor Henry had sent to her earlier was still displayed on the screen. It was in a hotel."Don't let it bother you, Ashley. You just need to be obedient, and your Mom will be fine. As long as she'll be fine, anything is worth sacrificing to save her," She whispered as she wiped her tears. After a little touch on her make-up, she finally left her room.She paused when she got into the living room and found Miles seated on the chair."You ar
Chapter 43Sonia Frost POVI had no idea if I should be happy after a successful live video or if I should be sad. Putting on a smile every day while hurting inside is really draining, but what could I do? My life wasn't a bed of roses, so I should embrace it as it comes, right?I picked up my phone and unlocked it as I sat in front of the mirror. My heart bled and throbbed with pain as I stared at my picture with Lewis. If that didn't happen, we were supposed to be married by now. We would've been living a happy life by now if that horrible incident didn't come up, and as much as I was sad about the disappointment, I was also grateful that it didn't happen after we got married. I would've been stuck with him forever, and who knows, maybe I would've died before my appointed time.The sound of my ringing phone caught my attention, and I rolled my eyes when I checked the caller and found that it was my Dad."Come over to the mansion and let's have dinner tonight. Come with your fiance,"
Chapter 44Miles glanced at Sonia for the umpteenth time on their way. He barely knew anything about this lady, yet he was attracted to her everything. She had caught his attention at first sight and fuck! He was starting to like her."Don't think about it, Miles. You are just into an arranged marriage," He reminded himself as he looked out through the window. Miles couldn't deny seeing the disturbance and curiosity on her face when he looked at her again, and he wondered what was wrong with her. Did something happen? Did she get bullied? He tried to refrain himself from asking her questions since they were not close."Just ask her as the gentleman you are," He told himself, then breathed in and out."Are you ok? You don't look fine," Sonia glanced at him and nodded blankly."Hmm," she hummed, and he nodded.After a long ride, they finally arrived at a beautiful mansion, and Sonia drove inside.Sonia was stunned when she stepped out of the car and saw many cars parked in the parking
Chapter 45"Why don't you stop with the pretense, Dad? We both know that you don't care about me," Sonia scoffed as she stood up from the couch, and Miles did too. "You! How could you be rude to Dad in the presence of a stranger?" Harley stepped forward and snapped at Sonia."Dad...""Your sister is just under the weather. You shouldn't be like that to her," Mr. Frost, their Dad forced a smile."You called me here to attend Harley's birthday dinner party..." She huffed as she crossed her arms on her chest and rolled her eyes."What game are you trying to play this time, Dad?""Sonia... I only called you here so we can get to know your fiance. Besides, it's family time together, so I was thinking you shouldn't be left out. Don't you think?" Seeing the smile on the man's face made Sonia's skin crawl with disgust. She tried to fight back her tears even though it was difficult to. Her heart was breaking into a million shreds. It's fine that he didn't like her and not that he was complain
Chapter 46"What are you talking about?" Mr. Frost hesitated for a few minutes before he finally asked.Over the years, Sonia had been pretending not to know everything that happened years ago. How her Dad had been spending the money that her Mom worked hard for.Mr. Frost was just a delivery guy who found favor in the eyes of the billionaire heiress, Claudia Ramos. They dated for a few months before they got married, and Frost automatically inherited her wealth because of the love Claudia had for him. A few years after the death of Sonia's Mom, her Mom's assistant had reached out to her from where he was hiding and told her about everything that happened but the death of her Mom remained mysterious. For years, she had been deprived of her mom's wealth, she was fine with it, but now she couldn't fold her arms and watch her Dad give it to his other daughter. That was the last thing she'd ever allow."We both know what I'm talking about, Dad... Do you think I will fold my arms and watc
Chapter 47"Thanks for earlier," Sonia muttered as she glanced over to Miles on their way home."Hmm," Miles just nodded and looked out through the window. He had a lot of things to ask her which were not limited to her family, but they were not legally married yet, so he didn't have any right to ask her. At least not just yet."Why don't we go to the city hall for the marriage certificate next tomorrow? I have time then and I think it'll be perfect," Sonia suggested, getting Miles's attention."Hmm... That's fine," He nodded and she forced a smile.Sonia pulled over in front of Miles's dorm minutes later, and he removed the seatbelt from his body."See you around," Miles was going to open the door when she spoke up."Why don't you come over to my house tomorrow? I think you should know my house since we'll be getting married soon," Sonia suggested and he thought about it for a few seconds before he nodded."That's fine,""I will send you my address," He nodded and finally stepped out
Chapter 48Sonia glanced at Miles for the umpteenth time on their way home and she couldn't help but feel grateful for coming to her rescue. Maybe those bad guys would've harmed her if he had not shown up."Thank you," She muttered as she glanced at him, and he hummed as he nodded. Since she was still shocked by what happened earlier, Miles decided to drive her instead after he helped her fix the car.The ride to Sonia's apartment didn't take much time before they arrived, and Miles stepped out of the car after she did."You should sleep early. I'll be busy tomorrow so we might not get to see each other," Miles handed her the car keys, but she glanced at her wristwatch and turned her attention back to him."It's late. Why don't you sleep over? I have two rooms. You can make use of one of them...""Don't worry about...""Your house is still far from here and it's going to be difficult to get a cab at this time of the night. So, I insist," She insisted and he was eventually left with no
