She cleared her throat without uttering a word. She just stood there and watched Ashton place his order. It came to her that she should try to continue their conversation in a calm manner.
A question would never hurt. "Who are those drugs for?" She folded her arms behind her back as she asked.
"Someone." He responded plainly.
A sigh escaped her mouth at his reply. There was no way to avoid the problem she had just stirred other than an apology. Another sigh left her mouth before she began talking.
"Listen, I am so sorry for my outburst, I just didn't understand why you would do such a thing but now I get it. My brother is a big jerk for trying to hurt you and I promise you that I'll never ever let him do something like that again."
"No need to apologize, I understand what it feels like to want to protect someone you love." His eyes lingered on her for a moment as the words left his mouth.
She felt her whole pers
Ashton's steps came to a halt as he stood a few feet away from the car that the razz man had run to. A young man stepped out of the car with dark shades shielding his eyes from the sun. He slammed the door behind him and the razz man seemed totally composed in front of him.No translator was needed to tell Ashton that that was the boss the razz man was talking about. He was dressed in a black suit with white linings decoration on it. A red necktie peeked out of the top of his neatly buttoned shirt. His shoe was a black that shone so brightly like the car he had stepped down from. The man had Viking colored hair with brown stubble beards. His eyes were a light blue as Ashton took a proper look at him and his pink lips pouted disappointedly as he stared at the jazz man. "Rio! Where is Rebecca?" The boss questioned as he shot the razz man with a deadly scowl. "Boss, it really wasn't my fault!" Rio explained while holding on to his aching stomach. "I went in there to grab her for yo
Myles had managed to get into her head with his words of deceit and Rebecca had hoped she could bring herself to not believe it but easier said than done. Myles held her hand in his gently yet firmly. "Listen to me, I know it is kind of difficult for you to process things right now but I think I know what you need right now..." His voice was a calming tone that could bring a sheepish smile to a woman's face if it were a normal occasion. She looked up at him with an inquisitive expression on her face. Her face flushed red as her eyes widened with so much surprise, the last thing she had expected was happening right in front of her.A silver piece of jewelry shimmered in front of her eyes and the diamonds used to bring it to life reflected through her eyes with a beautiful glint. He had removed a small black box from his pocket and when he opened it, a diamond ring sat inside it. A gasp left her mouth. "Myles! What are you...?""Rebecca... Ms. Knowles... All you need right now is so
The whole hospital room was upside down. Nothing could be done by drowsy Theron who laid on the bed, half awoken from all the noise and half sleepy from his pain relief pills. Rebecca was too weak a person to take on a thug by herself and Myles was frightened to death by the name he had heard from the man. There was only one Brynn in the whole of Beaumont city courageous enough to go around causing trouble and taking whatever woman he desired without being questioned by the law and it was Matson Brynn, also known as the god of all thugs. Myles swallowed hard, he told himself he had heard wrong as the Brynn family's son was away from the city and his arrival had not been made known yet so he was probably just a thug with the same name. If he wasn't a random thug then he would introduce himself by telling them who his father was firstly just to incite fear in them."Mr Jameson, please help us!" Diana yelled out as she struggled to free herself from Jason's strong grip. Diana's word
Diana felt like her insides had turned to the outside. How dare he be such a coward? It was understanding when Ashton did it, he probably hated her daughter and cared less if she was looted away but him?!!Myles was supposed to marry his daughter but yet he cowered away now. "Mr Jameson! What are you saying?!" Her eyes bulged out like he was about to pop out of her eye sockets. Myles just remained quiet where he laid while Jason roared a mocking laugh. How was he to still speak up about Rebecca and that she was about to become his bride? With such a situation, he had to choose between saving himself or her. He wasn't daft enough to choose someone else's life over his own dear life no matter who the person was. His determination to remain there without moving a muscle was very strong as he lay still on the ground no matter how many times Diana chose to call out his name to fight. "So, Mr Jameson... Do you mind if I take her with me? Do you feel the need to stop me if I do so?" Ja
Jason roared a laugh. "You had your chance, prince charming." He turned towards Rio. "Bring her over here and teach this young hero a lesson. After this class, you'll never save anyone ever again." Rio did as his boss commanded, carefully placing Rebecca down next to Jason who kept a firm grip over her wrist while she struggled to escape. "Ashton! Don't be foolish! Run now! They'll kill you!" Rebecca hollered hoping he would at least listen to her and leave. "Last chance hero." Jason added. "Sorry but I don't take orders from anyone." Ashton responded. Jason smirked. "This is going to be interesting. The last one didn't try to fight back so it was just too boring. Break his bones boys." With his order, Jason's thugs rushed forward for Ashton, all of them attacking almost at the same time. As the men reached forward to strike Ashton, each of them found themselves on the ground, lying in a pile against each other. All Ashton needed to do was to target a sensitive part of
Jason Brynn grinned as he saw the looks on Rebecca's and her mother's face. Rebecca was indeed left in shock as she heard the description of the man that Ashton had just struck. The son of the known and feared Matson Brynn! A thug like a god! There was no escaping his wrath if Ashton were to harm him even more. Definitely, they would all be dragged into facing his deadly wrath and that was the last thing Rebecca or even her mother ever wanted. Jason sat up on the floor with a sinister grin on his face. He licked the blood off of his lower lip while trying to taunt Ashton with his gaze. "Do you know who I am now?" Ashton shrugged his shoulders plainly. "I don't think I care enough to know.""You ignorant fool! I will kill you and have your head hung on your doorstep for your entire family to see and then I'll order them never to take it down so they can be reminded of how foolish you were on this day!" Jason threatened him."Unless…" he muttered gently. "Unless you acknowledge me
Rio wanted to snap to his feet and give the stranger a good beating but he needed no one to tell him that he would only be getting himself killed. So he remained on the floor while thinking of a way to intimate Ashton to the extent that he would have to give up and run away. "Don't you know who Mr Brynn is? Huh?! Why are you acting so stubbornly?! I'm only telling you this so you can have a chance to save your life you useless freak! Stop now and leave!" He growled at his loudest. "You little troublesome troll! Why won't you listen when they are giving you a chance?! Huh?!" Diana growled. "Stop being so foolish! Nobody needs your heroism!" "Really?" Ashton arched his brow at the howling woman. "This jerk right here was about to do terrible things to Rebecca-- your own daughter and yet you side him now just because you hear he is the son of some thug?!""You are wrong! If any one is the jerk here then it's you! Mr Brynn only insisted on grabbing a drink with my daughter, you are the
The road ahead felt dark and lonely even though the sun was still up and shining. Ashton made his way through several people that occupied the road with rage burning inside of him.At first, it was anger, then it soon developed into self hatred. But after a while, it dissolved into emptiness. He felt like an empty vessel as he walked down the road with his hands buried into the depth of his pocket.The sky was a beautiful light blue with white smokish clouds floating about and the way everything came together to make a beautiful picture, including the birds that flew around in the farthest part of the sky making them look like little floating objects, it could make a sad person feel better just by looking at it.But Ashton didn't even see the specialty in it at the moment, what he felt was the sun beating down on him heavily-- even though it wasn't that heavy-- and a bunch of birds flying about aimlessly in the cloud that hurt his eyes a little when he tried to look at it. He had ne
