Ashton waited by the road for Thomas' car. He looked at his wrist watch for the time and still Thomas had still not shown up. The asshole had assured him that he would be parked in front of him in the next ten minutes and it had been well over fifteen minutes and he still wasn't there.
This was one of the reasons why Ashton despised rich people. They never seemed to keep their promises. Most of them though. Especially the ones with cars. He cursed under his breath as he waited yet a little longer.
Few seconds later he saw a blue convertible with its roof still up, driving towards him and Ashton knew that it was Thomas. This was because he knew that no one else in this slum-like neighbourhood cared or were even rich enough to afford such a car.
The car pulled up in front of where Ashton stood with his two hands in his pockets and came to a stop. Ashton watched as the tinted black windows slid down and he rolled his eyes to see Thomas putting on sun sh
Rebecca was still not over what Thomas Gomez had done to her. How could he betray her? How could he abandon her when they had started together? It wasn't like he was some sort of anchor to her business or something but he was one of the founding partners of her company.She simply couldn't understand the motive behind his actions as she knew that Thomas Gomez was a good man and he wasn't easily swayed which was what confused her the most. Somehow, she felt that the universe was trying to punish her for what she did to Ashton but she brushed that thought aside. There was nothing like karma, she was a master of karma. She was a go-getter and she always made sure to go for what she wanted, she also knew when said thing she went for got expired and knew when to do away with such things. Karma be damned.She walked to her office, ignoring her secretary who stood anxiously waiting for her. She walked past her, her face contorted in a deep scowl that sent out the
Ashton waited by the road for Thomas' car. He looked at his wrist watch for the upteenth time and still Thomas had still not shown up.

Rebecca heard a knock on her door. She stirred, squinting her eyes and wondering who it could be. She was sure she had made herself clear the previous night that no one should disturb her morning sleep. Who was the unfortunate person that dared to knock at, what was the time now? She picked up her phone and squinted her eyes the more as she stared into the screen. Shit. It was only past 7 am. She decided to let whoever it was at the door to be as she ignored them and went back to sleep. For all they knew she really wasn't always in. She adjusted back into a more comfortable position and even allowed a moan to elicit from her as she closed her eyes to go back to sleep. But the knock came again and it was more loud and harsh now. She raised her head in frustration.God, she was going to kill whoever it was at the door. She heard the door knock again and with a frustrated hiss, she got up from the bed and headed to the door begging the God of whoever it is at the door to a
Ashton walked back home as he made his way to see Angel. When he had been told about Elizabeth Cooper, the thought that Elizabeth could be Angel's age was unsettling. Thomas had told him that Elizabeth was critically ill and the thought that it could be Angel was unsettling to him.He walked back home, strolling in his oversized suit. It was exactly oversized, Ashton just liked putting on stuff that were larger than his normal large frame and that was his flex. He ran his fingers through his unruly curly hair as he walked. He could tell that the roads were becoming lonelier. One of the shittiest facts about this area where he lived was that it was a rough neighbourhood. There were constant fights and robbery and dare he say killings that one would think this was some slum black neighbourhood. But in contrast, this was a purely white neighbourhood, just that they did lots of drugs and shit. He walked along the way, casually holding his briefcase in his hand.
From within she heard Myles' voice when he spoke."Let them in. " He said so casually that Rebecca was beginning to think that he knew beforehand that she would come. The stranger guy then smiled at Rebecca as he allowed the door to open further."You may enter." He said Rebecca eyed him as she stepped into the place. When she got in she saw that there were a lot of people in there. She looked around as she noticed that the place was some sort of gaming lounge. She could see various types of games being played at the place and she observed that there weren't less than ten people in the place apart from herself and Myles.Myles watched her as he beamed with smiles. He wasn't sure she was going to show up but he had his hopes high and here she was. He knew that he knew what it was she wanted. He watched her observe the many people in the room and he got up to welcome her."Welcome." He said to her, He couldn't help but grin widely fr

Rebecca stood in the house with her mother and brother. They both watched her, not understanding why she was screaming."What is the problem Rebecca?" Diana asked her daughter. Rebecca remained silent. She wasn't aware of her environment. She wasn't aware of the people in the room with her. All that she thought about was the events of the day she just had. She hated that Ashton had to be the one to ruin what she saw was going to be the big break for her.Theron held his sister in his hand as he tried to get her to come to herself."Becca?" He asked. "What is the matter sister?" He asked her but Rebecca remained quiet. She was still in a trance."Becca?" Diana called out loud and she snapped to reality with a gasp."What is the matter?" Diana asked her.Rebecca couldn't comprehend anything they were all saying. Her mind went back to a flashback of the day it all started. She remembered it like it was happening al
"You made poor Elizabeth to miss you so much." Mrs Cooper said to Myles and Rebecca's interest was piqued. Who was Elizabeth?Just then the guard returned with a tray of drinks, empty glasses and a bottle of wine. He poured into the wine glasses and served them.Myles chuckled from beside Rebecca."I will speak with Elizabeth," he spoke. "She upstairs?" He asked."No, haven't you heard?" Mrs Cooper asked and Myles looked at her with curiosity. That was when Mrs Cooper noticed Rebecca. "Oh, you brought your fiancee." She said and smiled warmly at Rebecca but her joy was cut short by Mr Coopers' interjection."Business partner." He corrected her. "She's his business partner. " He said coldly. Rebecca saw that Mr Cooper regarded her with cold eyes.What had gone wrong? Had she said anything rude or arrogant?"Oh," Hillary said taken aback. She wasn't used to seeing her husband this cold, especial
