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 more. 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 se 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 passed her, her face contorted in a deep scrowl that sent out the message loud and clearly
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. 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 and he saw a blue convertible with it's roof still up, drive towards him and Ashton knew that it was Thomas. This was because he knew that no one else in this slum like neighborhood 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 shades inside a car. Wh
Thomas' car stopped in the front of the Coopers' mansion and Ashton looked in awe at the building. It was huge. He could say it was magnificent. Ashton continued to stare in awe at the magnificent mansion while Thomas got down from the car and walked around to his side of the car. He tapped lightly on Ashton's door and Ashton had to force himself to stop drooling at the beauty of the place. He eyed Thomas who snickered at him. The asshole. He soon got off from the car and didn't forget to bang at the door, you know, just because he could. They both turned and were met by two officially dressed bald headed men in black tuxes. They both wore sun shades. Ashton wondered within himself whether there was something going on today with the way everyone was putting on sun shades. With that thought in mind, he watched Thomas shake hands with the bald headed men and he did the same. "This is my friend and business associate." Thomas introduced Ashton to them and one of them nodded. "His name
Ashton ignored the look Thomas was shooting his way when he said his last words. Mr Cooper regarded him for a moment before he nodded his head and spoke with a smile suddenly appearing on his face. "Of course," he spoke smiling at Ashton. He then motioned for one of his security men to go to him and he whispered something into his ears. Ashton saw the security guy nod his head and leave immediately. Then Mr Cooper turned to look at Ashton again. "He has to go make sure that Elizabeth is presentable." He explained and Ashton nodded his head. Mr Cooper then proceeded to look away and continue with his cigar while Thomas tried to gain Ashton's attention. "What are you doing?" Thomas asked him but he ignored him. Thomas had no idea of what Ashton was capable of. He knew nothing about what Ashton was capable of doing. Ashton never announced his capabilities to just anyone. Even his ex wife whom he had known for quite some time knew nothing about the fact that he had the ability to heal
Thomas couldn't shake the feeling of unease as he watched Ashton confidently stride into the room where Elizabeth lay, her frail form a stark contrast to the opulence of her surroundings. His mind raced with questions, doubts gnawing at him like relentless insects. What was Ashton planning? How could he possibly help Elizabeth when countless doctors had failed? But as Mr. Cooper welcomed Ashton's offer with cautious optimism, Thomas found himself caught between skepticism and hope. He knew Ashton well enough to understand that beneath his enigmatic exterior lay a genuine desire to help others, but this claim seemed too audacious, too fantastical to accept at face value.As Ashton and Mr. Cooper stepped outside for a private conversation, Thomas couldn't help but feel a surge of apprehension. What if Ashton was delusional? What if his attempt to help Elizabeth only caused her more suffering? Yet, as he watched Ashton speak with conviction, his doubts began to wane.Ashton's words reso
Rebecca and Myles got off the car as they walked into the hotel. They walked beside each other, not uttering a word to one another. Rebecca could see from the sides of her eyes that she was catching the eyes of onlookers. She saw how the men watched her walk by, they probably weren't used to seeing a woman be that confident and daring. She could recognize the look of awe on their faces. She could also see the sinister look of envy and jealousy on the faces of the women as well. Apart from her, every other woman in that club were dressed in skimpy and barely there dresses. They were half naked and lacked her kind of confidence. She could tell that they all wished in their hearts to be like her. She tried to hide a smile as she walked passed them. They both walked briskly as they approached the huge able bodied body guard that stood at the entrance of the vip spot. Myles halted in his steps and that made Rebecca to halt too. "Wait here for a moment." He turned and said to her and she
The question stuck on her tongue like a tape refusing to let go. It bothered her endlessly but on a scale of one to ten, how foolish would she look if she suddenly asked him why he was feeling like a whole new man?So she let the question bother her for as long as it would remain there and she would even swallow the entire thing if she could. She looked away from Ashton and focused her attention on Angel who didn't even seem to have her time. Ashton suddenly picked himself up and left the room. He must have said goodbye but she didn't hear him, she could only see his mouth move all through the time her mind was plagued by the question.She shook her head and paid her full focus on Angel. “I really am overjoyed that you are okay Angel. I want to help you with everything and anything you might ever need so can you please reach out to me if any need arises?” She looked a little desperate as she spoke. “I have to say you are a little late on that one. Ash already promised me everything
Ashton waited for Mr Cooper to make up his mind. He stood there with Thomas beside him while he waited. Soon and Mr Cooper let out a single nod. Ashton still stood there, his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for Mr. Cooper's response. The weight of the situation pressed heavily upon him, the gravity of his words sinking in deeper with each passing moment. He prayed silently within himself, hoping against hope that Mr. Cooper wouldn't dismiss his offer as a scam.As the seconds stretched into minutes, Ashton felt the tension in the room thicken, each breath drawn in anticipation of Mr. Cooper's decision. Thomas Gomez, standing steadfastly by Ashton's side, added his own voice to the plea, his words carrying the weight of his conviction.Ashton was indeed grateful for Thomas. "I've known Ashton Pearce for years," Thomas spoke, his tone was firm and resolute. "I know when he is bluffing and when not. I don't know how he's going to do it, but with that confident look on his face
