Mai Lee managed to clear her head of every funny thought she was having and they continued their lesson by the water shore. After training for quite some time, she felt drained of her strength and finally sat herself down on the sand to catch her breath. She had brought along plastic bottles of water for them to drink whenever they felt tired or thirty and she picked up one out of the two she had brought and snapped the cover open.“So tell me, what were you able to find out?” Ashton asked while he undid the cap of his own bottle. After drinking to her satisfaction, she put the lid back on the bottle and placed it down into the sand before bringing herself to speak after a soft sigh. “I did a lot of relentless findings on the name Cara Lewis and apparently there aren't so many living in the city for some reason. There are actually seventeen Cara Lewis residing within the boundaries of our city.” She explained to him.Ashton's gaze was on the bottle of water he placed on the sand i
Rebecca felt dumbfounded. If there was a feeling more greater than shock,that was what she was feeling at the moment.“What?” The look on her face was even more confusing than a puzzle of many pieces. She felt that even if Ashton was no more than someone she was sleeping with for fun, she thought that the lady would at least care about him enough to act on what she had just told her. How could Elizabeth just plainly refuse to help him like that? Did he not mean anything to her at all? She couldn't utter another word before Elizabeth hung up the phone. “What did she say? I'm probably sure that she told you not to worry about him. Now can we just worry about ourselves?” Diana asked her daughter without taking any time to read the expression on her face. She turned towards her mother with an expression that resembled that of someone who had just seen a ghost. “Mom?” She said distortedly. “Yes?” Diana finally turned to look at her daughter's face. She didn't quite understand why sh
Rebecca left the hospital and drove herself down to the Brynn villa while her nerves were on edge. She couldn't even think of what she should be expecting once she arrived there. How would they treat her? Would they kill her at once? Would they even care to listen to her plea?All those questions ran through her mind as she tried to stay focused on the road before she let herself get buried even before she died. She shook her head intermittently in an attempt to shake away the thoughts that drowned her senses. Before she even realized it, she was already at the gate of the mighty villa and beads of sweat glistened on her forehead as she gulped down heavily on her saliva. Two men who seemed to have been waiting for her arrival walked towards her car. One of them pulled the door open for her to step down and she immediately did so.He was dressed in a black suit and a white collar shirt on the inside with a black tie hanging tightly around his neck. The manner in which the other ma
Rebecca stood still while trying to remain calm in the presence of both tall standing men.Jason was fine and on his feet. For a second she had been worried that he was dead or probably paralyzed.Seeing that the man was standing fine, she let out a soft sigh.“Mr Brynn, I sincerely apologize for the unfortunate incident that happened to your son earlier today and I've come to beg for your forgiveness in person.”Matson rolled his eyes as he heard the words that left her mouth. He had told her before that it wasn't in the blood of s Brynn to forgive people when they overstepped yet she still confidently repeated the words.She didn't mind the look of disinterest on his face and still continued speaking. “I know it was wrong to beg you on the phone, I knew there was something wrong with that method but I've come to beg for your forgiveness in person.” She explained to him.“What nonsense are you
Matson stared at her with anticipation while waiting for her to stop glaring at him and speak up her mind on his bargain.His wish finally came through but it wasn't words he found pleasing to his ears at all.“Mr Brynn, I am willing to pay you millions if you wish, I can give you any amount you want, I'll hustle for it. But this, I cannot give you this. I cannot give myself to your family.“I will not live as his second wife for the rest of my life, I will not foolishly lay down my own life!” She firmly stated to him.Her fists were clenched into a ball of rage as she stared at him and she would punch him so hard in the face if only she was a skilled fighter.Matson still remained calm and kept his cool. “No one is asking
Ashton felt infuriated to the core as he barged out of his room. He was on his way down the stairs when his phone began vibrating in his hold and he growled and almost threw it at the wall.He tried to remain calm as he looked at the screen and he was surprised to see the name ‘Elizabeth’ playing on the screen.He thought about ignoring the call but the woman hung up just then and immediately redialled his number. He slid it to the answer button and hurriedly spoke into the phone as he hurried down the stairs. “Ms. Cooper, I'll have to call you back, I am kind of in the middle of something very important to me.” He tried to sound calm as he spoke but the impatience showed like clear water in his voice. “Mr Pearce, I need you to remain in the hotel until I arrive there.” Elizabeth said in a sort of commanding tone. “What's going on?” Ashton asked, still heading out of the hotel. “I have the ashwagandha plant ready for you and I think you'd like it fresh.” She explained to him.Ash
He snuck into the building and hid himself from the men that crowded the place. He wasn't ready to waste his effort on them since it was only one man he had in his mind. He didn't know where to find them so he might as well ask someone as nicely as he could. He snatched a guard from the others and threatened him to remain quiet or else he would snap his head to the back. “Who are you?” The young boy wearily cried out of fear. “Shush your mouth! Didn't I just tell you not to speak? Would you like your head ro be snapped to the back?” Ashton quietly said in a tone that revealed the threat. The young boy shuddered from fear, “please, I am new, I don't know what they have done to you but I wasn't a part of it, don't kill me.” He pleaded as tears already welled up in his blue eyes. “Be quiet! I won't hurt you if you tell me what exactly it is I want to know.” Ashton said.The young boy nodded his head. “Alright alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you all I know.” “A girl came in here
Once again, his ability had been underestimated by the useless Brynn men. What did they think? That a few men could stop him from doing what he came to do?Even if there were hundreds of them, he would still prevail and that he knew for a fact. “What are you fools waiting for?! Attack him already!” Matson ordered them in a loud tone.Ashton had studied them and to his utmost surprise, not even one of them came in with a gun. Sure they had knives and batons and other things that could pierce through the skin but a gun could get it done from a distance. A knife came flying at Ashton from a direction he wasn't looking and he didn't notice it until it stabbed into his stomach. Lica had wanted to scream out for him to look out but her mouth was covered by Jason's mouth. Ashton winced from the pain, holding on to the knife. “That's it! Get him now that he's weakened! Attack his weak point!” The men did as they were ordered and started towards Ashton. Ashton, within the blink of an ey
