The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce LAUGHING STOCK
Rebecca gritted her teeth as she watched Elizabeth walk away. She suddenly found herself worrying if that slut was a slut at all!With the confidence in her voice and the look of certainty on her face, perhaps there was something she already knew, but even the gods knew she would never tell her.Myles walked up to her where she stood and watched Elizabeth and Ashton with a clear look of anger and irritation on his face. "Don't you worry, Rebecca, I'll make that spoiled brat go on her knees in a month's time; you just wait."That was one thing Myles and she were beyond certain of. Ashton could never reach him, talk more about surpassing him; he couldn't even do it in his dreams!Rebecca gulped down her saliva as a feeling of uneasiness rose inside of her. "I can't help but feel like something is wrong somewhere."But she couldn't quite place her finger on it.★The Hall of Sky Castle was filled with numerous business people
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce Ms. COOPER
A loud gasp erupted in the hall as they all chorused it in utmost surprise.Ashton had struck Myles even harder than a strike of lightning would have. No one had believed it because they had barely even seen it happen.Fire burned in Ashton's eyes as he was consumed by an aura of rage. They didn't notice it or when it happened, but Ashton was now on his feet."What the f*ck?!" Myles growled. He tried to get up to his feet, but everything around him seemed to be spinning as he stumbled back to the ground.Diana rushed to him, and a loud gasp escaped her mouth, with her eyes shining wide in shock as Myles spat out blood from his mouth. "Oh my god! Mr Jameson! Are you alright?"Myles froze for a second; he didn't know how to react as his
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce A THIN THREAD OF HOPE
Myles couldn't believe it even though it happened twice in a row! Did she just hit him? For real? He wasn't the only one left dumbfounded by her action. Murmurs filled the hall from all those who backed him up and insulted Ashton just a while ago. Not a single person dared to withstand the fire in Elizabeth's eyes or even dare to speak up and talk less of questioning her action. But Myles refused to be embarrassed in front of several eyes. "What? Why would you hit me? What exactly was that for?!" His eyes widened as the veins on his neck bulged out like they were about to snap. His fists clenched into a ball out of rage as he tried to stop himself from doing the unthinkable! If it were Ashton then he wouldn't even hold back at all! "A little bird of mine told me what you have been up to, who do you think you are to try and crash my own party?" Elizabeth arched her thin brows as she spoke. "Who do you think you are?" Even a queen would definitely not have the kind of aura she
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce MYSTERIOUS MAN
Elizabeth sat in a private room at Sky Castle. The manager of her company had piled up a list of candidates listed for the partnership, and she didn't even bother to read any others. She fished out Rebecca's file and ran her eyes through it. Everything she found was impressive; she had to admit that she knew that Knowles & Co. was the best company to partner with by far. But something didn't quite clear out in her mind. Knowles and Co. was nothing but a company in the dust; people barely knew of their existence for so many years, but they tremendously climbed up to the top in the ratio of three years! How could that ever be possible? Several great companies invested in them and helped them get to where they were at the moment. One could call it luck, but it was beyond that. It was either magic or the work of a caring husband. Her eyes trailed up to Ashton, where he sat. He knew she needed her solitude to fairly decide to whom the partnership would be awarded, so he sat himself d
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce WHY DOES WINNING FEEL LIKE LOSING?
"Oh, I'll use it alright." She flashed him a smile. "Because of you, Knowles and co. will escape the wrath of me... For now, her company is allowed to stand a little while longer." Ashton only responded with a weak smile. He picked up his block puzzle and continued fiddling with it. Her eyes looked him up and down; what an extraordinary man he was indeed. She felt sorry for Rebecca for what she had lost—no, thrown away with her own hands! But she still marveled if he was really that nice or if it was all part of a secret master plan of his. Whichever one it was, or whichever it would turn out to be, she was definitely sticking around to find out. ★Myles couldn't quite wrap his head around the whole situation just yet. What even hurt more than his wounded pride and red cheek was the fact that he hadn't gotten the chance to lay with Rebecca yet!After everything he had done! Every penny he had spent! He alone knew how much the magic herb that saved Ms. Cooper's life cost him, and
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce THE TRUTH OR A LIE?
Elizabeth rose to her feet with a sigh. "Well, I'm only doing this because of you. I would have loved to give the contract to Mr Gomez if it wasn't for the fact that he said he isn't accepting any deals from anyone in Beaumont for now." Ashton too rose to his feet. He dropped the puzzle block on the table and picked up the box of the magic herb. "Why did he say that?" Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders. "Well okay then. If there's nothing else for me to do here then I'd like to head back to my apartment." "Actually, I would like to introduce you to a few people if you don't mind staying a little longer. The herb is safe here and it will be in your room by the time you get there." She assured him with a look of certainty in her eyes. Ashton nodded his head as he dropped the box back on the table. "You go ahead, I'll meet you in a few minutes." She told him.Without any further questions, Ashton turned towards the door and left the room. He climbed down the stairs and returned to th
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce NOT A SINGLE TRUST
Ashton felt like a knife had just been thrown right into his chest. She had kept quiet for so long? Why didn't she just keep quiet all the way?He thought to himself that she probably knew Myles wasn't responsible for it but didn't want to embarrass him. Rather, she would choose to embarrass Ashton since she never even cared about him and even if it was written on clear paper for what he had done, she would never give him the credit he deserved. His mouth opened to speak but she continued her speech. "Ashton, we all know you could never have achieved something like that, not even for us, so the only one lying in cold blood here is you." He scoffed a laugh. "Why do you look like what I'm saying is wrong? How could you be so persistent without even batting an eye?" She arched her brow, looking disappointedly at Ashton. "Ohhh I get it now," Myles uttered with a slight chuckle. He dipped one hand in his pocket with the hope and an attempt to look at least half as cool as Ashton did
The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce PROVING HIMSELF
She pushed the door open and led Ashton into the room. Several men and women sat at the long table, some exchanging words and soft laughs while others just focused on their food. The room fell silent and all eyes fell on both of them as they walked in together. "I apologize for keeping you waiting long everyone but there were vital matters that needed immediate tending to." Elizabeth apologized to the people. She opened a seat for Ashton next to her and he silently sat himself down. "Ashton, I'd like to introduce you to everyone here." She pointed at a chubby lady with short brown hair and a harsh smile. "This is Mrs Greg, the manager of the company that created the popular cereal, 'you can quake it'." The woman shot Ashton with a proud smile. Every household in the whole of Beaumont city with a young one and people who craved cereal had at least ten boxes of her creation in their home. Ashton gave her a respectful bow."This is Mr Andrews, my dad's partner is business." She poi

THE FALL OF REBECCA KNOWLES
The night was thick and the wind blew incessantly as Rebecca Knowles sat alone in her dark study. Her fingers drummed anxiously and noisily against the glass table as she mulled and thought over and over about the events of the past few weeks. She had played her hand well, or so she had thought. Manipulating Ashton and blackmailing him with Kelvin was one of her best plans in her grand scheme—everything had gone exactly as she planned. She let out a laughter at the thought. Soon and no one would hear anymore about the man, Ashton Pearce. He would be long gone, and so would his legacy. She was going to make sure of it. But right now, there was this unusual feeling of unease that was beginning to creep in. Things weren’t adding up. No doubt, Ashton had been far too calm lately, and she could feel something shifting beneath the surface, something she hadn’t accounted for. She hoped that it wasn't exactly what it was that she was thinking. As far as she knew, Ashton had asked to see Ke

A Web of Lies
Ashton paced the length of his living room, the dark light of the evening made out very long shadows against the walls. His mind raced as ge struggled to process the bombshell his informant had just dropped on him. For the last few weeks, Rebecca had held the upper hand, weaponizing that kid against him, threatening to take away the one thing he had vowed to protect above all else. But now, everything had shifted. The truth, as ugly as it was, lay before him. Kelvin wasn’t even his son.He grabbed his head as he felt the migraine come down on his oh so heavily. She was sick, Rebecca. His phone buzzed on the coffee table, and without hesitation, he grabbed it, his thumb hovered frantically over Thomas Gomez's contact. Ashton’s mind flashed back to their last conversation—the one where Thomas had warned him about Rebecca’s unpredictability. He was right, more than Ashton wanted to admit.Taking a deep breath, Ashton hit the call button. It rang twice before Thomas answered.“Gomez,”

The Unraveling Deceptions
Ashton had barely left the bar when his phone rang again. This time, it wasn’t Marco or Elizabeth—it was someone unexpected. He glanced at the screen and saw the name. A cold chill washed over him as he hesitated for a moment before answering.“Pearce,” the voice on the other end growled, low and menacing. It was Gregory, one of Rebecca’s most trusted associates and a man who had never hidden his disdain for Ashton. “We need to talk. Now.”Ashton’s hand tightened around his phone. “What do you want, Gregory?” he asked. “There’s no time for games. Meet me at the old pier in thirty minutes. Don’t be late.” The line went dead before Ashton could reply.A sense of unease settled over him. What could Gregory possibly want? He had never approached Ashton directly before, and the suddenness of the call reeked of desperation. Ashton wasn’t a fool—he knew he was walking into something dangerous. But if Gregory had information or was willing to talk, it was worth the risk.He texted Elizabeth

The Truth Unveiled
Ashton’s thoughts raced as he walked alongside Elizabeth, their footsteps echoed down the dimly lit streets. The weight of Rebecca’s threats still hung heavily in the air, but Elizabeth’s revelation about the mysterious meeting had lit a fire within him. He needed answers—and fast. His phone buzzed in his pocket, and when he saw the name on the screen, a flicker of hope stirred within him.It was his contact, the spy he had placed to gather intel on Rebecca."Ashton," the voice on the other end was low, cautious. "I’ve got something big. Meet me at the usual spot in an hour. You need to hear this in person." He said to him. Ashton nodded, though the man couldn’t see him. "I’ll be there." He said. Elizabeth looked at him questioningly, and Ashton explained, “It’s my guy. He has something—something important. This might be the break we need.” he said to her. Elizabeth nodded, her expression unreadable but supportive. "I’ll come with you." She said. They headed to the meeting plac

A Clash of Will
Ashton stood under the shower, the steam enveloped him like a shroud. The water cascaded down his body and it washed away the remnants of the earlier confrontation with Rebecca, but he knew the bitterness of her words lingered in his mind like a stain that wouldn't come out. He could hear her mocking laughter echoing in the recesses of his thoughts, taunting him with the possibility of losing everything he held dear, including his son and his job.His phone buzzed incessantly on the counter, jolting him from his thoughts. Elizabeth's name flashed on the screen, and he immediately felt a feeling of urgency mixed with dread. He had kept her in the dark about the fallout with Rebecca, not wanting to drag her into the chaos. But as he turned off the water and toweled himself off, he knew he couldn't hide from her forever.After pulling on a pair of sweatpants and a loose t-shirt, he picked up the phone and answered. “Hey, Liz." He said. “Ashton,” Elizabeth’s voice came through, steady a

The Countermove
Ashton leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking beneath him as he stared at the glowing screen of his phone. The fury that had once consumed him now simmered beneath a surface of determination. Rebecca had made her move, but he was ready to play the game on his own terms. He had to find a way to outsmart her—find a way to reclaim not just his son, but his entire life.He opened his contact list, scrolling through names until he landed on the one that stood out. A name he hadn’t thought he’d have to rely on again: Myles Jameson. They hadn’t spoken since their falling out over the rumors, but desperate times called for desperate measures.With a deep breath, he dialed Myles’ number, his heart racing as the line rang. He had no idea how Myles would react after everything that had happened, but he couldn’t let fear hold him back.The call connected, and after a few rings, Myles’ voice broke through. “Ashton? Is that you?” Myles asked. “Yeah, it’s me,” Ashton replied, trying to kee

The Fall Begins
Ashton Pearce paced back and forth in his apartment, his phone was clutched tightly in his hand as he paced. The walls felt like they were closing in on him, like they were going to suffocate him as the weight of his situation bore down on him. His career, his reputation—everything he had worked so hard for—was now on the line, and he knew exactly who was behind it. Rebecca.Why was she being this way ?Why did she had to be so cruel and evil to him?The sound of his phone dialing Rebecca’s number sent a jolt of fury through him. He'd had enough of her games. After about three rings, the line finally clicked open and her cool, composed voice greeted him.“Ashton,” Rebecca said, her tone was smooth. It was laced with a venomous sweetness that made his blood boil. “What a surprise.” She purred into the phone. “Cut the crap, Rebecca,” Ashton snapped at her, he was unable to keep the anger from his voice. “I want to see my son. Where’s Kelvin?” he demanded. Since she claimed he was h

The Tightens
Rebecca’s mind still buzzed endlessly with how intense and the discussions of her meeting she had with Miguel as the car cruised through the darkened city streets. She glanced out of the window, and watched the blurred lights as they passed, but her thoughts has already spinned ahead, she anticipated her next move. Miguel was a snake, she knew that much, but for now, he was her snake—one she could use to finally dismantle the Cooper empire alongside Ashton Pearce and claim her victory.But as much as she felt in control, there was a gnawing voice in the back of her mind. Was she truly prepared for what working with Miguel would entail? She knew that she wasn’t naive. Miguel played by his own rules, and while he may have agreed to their alliance, she knew trust was a fragile thing in their world. Still, the adrenaline that coarsed through her vein was undeniable. The rush of power, the thrill of knowing she was about to topple giants—it was almost addictive. Myles wouldn’t underst

Dangerous Alliance
Rebecca stepped out of the sleek black car, the hum of the city faded as she stood before the entrance to Miguel’s exclusive club, the same one she had been to with Myles but tonight, let's just say she was doing things in her own terms and by that, going with Myles was too much crowd. The neon lights flickered above the doorway, it illuminated an eerie glow on the street. Tonight was different—tonight, she had come alone.Myles had no idea about her plan, and she oh so discreetly intended to keep it that way. This was her decision, her strategy to forge a new alliance and take control of the situation. Myles could be too cautious, too predictable. But Rebecca knew that if they were going to bring down the Coopers, they needed someone ruthless, someone like Miguel.Not that she hadn't slandered him behind his back, but he mustn't know about that. She was dressed to kill, she wore a dark emerald dress that hugged her frame, it exuded power and confidence. Her heels clicked against the
