Vindictive Dr Rhys 39. The Mickelson Brothers.
It's only been a week since they got married. Ashley has completely shut herself out of the world. Dark circles, bloodshot eyes, a weary demeanor—it's almost as though she's married to a blood-sucking monster that has her clutched to his claws.No matter how much Rhys tries to get her to relax and let loose, it's to no avail. She pushed him away and stayed locked up in her room; his mere sight enraged her.He's not even sure if it has to do with their marriage alone, but he has this gut feeling that there is more to this, and deep down, he knows Freeman has everything to do with Ashley's current state of mind.He shakes his head, stepping out of the guest room in which he is lodging and walking to the door, where he finds Ashley already by the door, her sight glued to the car parked at the entrance door with a chauffeur holding the door open."Hey," he mumbles, standing next to her.He didn't miss how she moved uncomfortably, turning to meet his stare."I have a proposition to make,"
Vindictive Dr Rhys 40. The Kiss.
Rhys sighted Don walking towards him, fighting back the urge to roll his eyes. Rhys hasn't been seeing Ron around, especially with the fact that both weren't on talking terms and with Ron handling things with the company while he's away on this sickening mission, he's left stranded.The look Ron shoots him has Rhys chuckling already, reading, 'I will murder you and bury you six frets under the ground kind of look."Brother," Ron says as he gets close enough to Rhy's desk, his staring roaming around the area."It's good to see you, Ron," Rhys responds, already expecting what was going to slip out of Ron's mouth.He just hopes Ron doesn't mess up his buttons and get him irritated, even after knowing it's inevitable; Ron knows exactly how to irk Rhys up."I won't say the same," Ron remarks, his tune oozing displeasure, to which Rhys shrugs.Rhys stared as his watch briefly said, "You should get going or you're probably going to miss your flight to Busan."Ron is not surprised by the fact
Vindictive Dr Rhys 41. Warnings.
Rhys walked out of the Freeman corp, enraged and disgusted. He can't fathom why he felt the urge to walk in and break every bone in Liam's body forever, getting close to Ashley.It's not jealous, or so he thought. He's in no room to feel comfortable, yet the sight displeased him. He needed to set his terms straight with her.For as long as they're married, she needs to remain loyal and faithful. Regardless of the circumstances in which they got tied down, they both need to respect each other."What's up?" Lex says through the piece the minutes Rhys unmuted it."Send me a car!" He orders folding on his sleeves."On it. It'll be there in 3...2...1."A car suddenly pulled over. Rhys didn't waste a second; he got in, and soon enough, the car hit the road leading to the direction of Rhys's penthouse.The thought of what he had seen was running haywire through his head. Liam is not the man for her; he only wants to use her to satisfy his lust and then dispose of her. It's obvious.But Ashle
Vindictive Dr Rhys 42. A Theif.
Ashley groans at the sound of the curtains being pulled open, urging her to draw the blanket over her head and mumbling curses."Get up!" Layla sparks, drawing the blanket off of her with a smirk dangling on her lips.Ashley growls, "C'mon, Layla, what is the matter with you? Can't I have my rest for the weekends?" She says, searing upright while running her hand through her hair.Layla sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the last Saturday of the month, and you know what that means, so get up and get dressed; we have the day to ourselves."Usually, Ashley and Layla spend some time together with no work-related issues. It's more like a hangout where they get to live the fun life against the usual adult, with tonnes of responsibilities to handle, kind of life.Ashley draws her knees to her chest, shaking her head. "I'm not sure if I can make it,"Layla cuts her off. "You dare not! You can't bail on me, not after I've had this day all planned out. I even booked the spa session.""I don't k
Vindictive Dr Rhys 43. Father And Son Talk.
"How are things going with the mission?" Claus Mickelson asks, directing the question to Rhys.Letting out a breath, Blake decides to excuse them, also the fact that he doesn't want their father to include him in it."Don't forget, I'll leave in approximately two hours," Blake paused to remind Rhys, to which Rhys nodded in response.With the sound of the door closing, Rhys draws his stare back to his dad and says, "Not as expected. Giovanni gave me his complimentary card and asked for a meet-up wherever I'm ready."Claus's expression hardened as he adjusted his seating position. "So did you go?" He was suddenly interested in hearing more.Rhys shakes his head. "No! At least not yet. I'm still trying to assess something and point out specific reasons why I came. According to Lex's research, most of his workers started working for him by some means. To go to him, you need to find a solid reason, or, should I say, be in need; that way, he could use that desire of yours and get you to be
Vindictive Dr Rhys 44. Flashbacks.
Two Years Ago...Rhys got dressed as usual, in a casual outfit to go see his parents and siblings at the villa today. He has something urgent to discuss with them because he is losing his mind slowly in his penthouse. He's not sure how his family would react to it but Rhys didn't care all he needed was his parent's blessing, he's sick and tired of not being able to find the True one for him. someone who would love and cherish him and not for what he has or possesses. That's what ladies of nowadays are only after. As he parked outside the villa, he saw his sibling's cars out there and concluded that everyone was ready for him so he entered and greeted each one of them. He stood in the living room in his parent's villa and watched each one of his family members as they watched him expectantly waiting for him to say what he's got in mind and he smiled tightly. "Well, stop looking so impatient or I won't be able to say it." He smiled at his parents then his two other younger brother
Vindictive Dr Rhys 45. Patching Things Up.
Rhys puts on his wrist watch taking in his appearance through the mirror. Just then a call came through urging a growl out from his lips. He reached for the phone, his eyes reading the caller ID; Lex. He slid the answer button placing the phone on his left ear. "Yeah?" He wanted Lex to go straight to the point even though he knew that whatever it was, had to do with his meeting with Giovanni."Your meeting with Giovanni was rescheduled?" Lex asks shortly.He knew it.He nods before humming, "Yes. He reschedule it for next week on Monday""Great! Enough time for me to hack into their security systems. That shit is guarded as Fuck, whoever is responsible for it, must be damn good" Lex whines.Rhys wasn't sure what to say but rather than him as his stare moved to the clock hung on the wall.His meeting with Ron is in thirty minutes, and he doesn't want to keep him waiting. After a lot of convincing from Mum, Angela, and Blake, Rhys has finally built up the mindset to have the --Talk--
Vindictive Dr Rhys 46. Let The Game Begin.
"Are you sure you don't need me to assign guards to wander around? I'll--" Lex tries to reason but Rhys beats him to it."No. I can't risk him getting any clue. You know how sensitive his security unit is, one wrong move and we're caught" Rhys blurts making much more sense.Lex's lips part to say against what Rhys had just said but his words are being halted by Rhys who lifts his hand to the air dismissively."No. Drop it. I've already made up my mind, also if anything comes up, you'll be able to know."Lex breaths out in defeat before nodding, "If anything were to happen to you, your mother would have my head for dinner"Rhys chuckled, "You'll disappear before she could even reach out to you, we both know that"Lex nods letting out a laugh, "But I will never rest, she'll be my worst nightmare"The Duo laughed which soon came to a halt when Ron stepped in."Am I missing something?" He questions his left brow lifting inquisitively."Nope, nothing you should worry about," Lex responds r

His heart dropped as he sighted her figure at the distinct end of the room.

76. Coma.
Rhys walked out of the building with Alec tailing behind. Before Rhys could register what was going on, Alec had pinned him to the ground launching punches on him.“You dare lay your hands on my wife” he punched on Rhys.“How dare you place a finger on her?!” Punch.He had already gathered a scene just as he wanted. Rhys had to struggle with his inner thoughts, one side of him telling him to retaliate and the other urging him to keep calm and not endanger his wife.It was hard to choose which to go with the embarrassment Alec was causing him.“What’s going on here!?” A third party arrives with his guards standing at the back of him.Rhys lifted his gaze meeting with Giovanni’s just then Ashley walked out of the building but soon her steps came to a halt when she met eyes with Giovanni.“Clear the path” Giovanni orders the guards to which they adhered.Soon it was only, Ashley, Giovanni, Alec, and Rhys in the scene.Rhys stole a glance at his wife who looked like she’d pass out any mo

75. Natalie.
Rhys walked into the boardroom oozing confidence and power. His jawline hardens to be sharp, sharp enough to slice through any obstacles that come his way.His breath hitched as he walked meeting with his wife in converse with Damien. One of the perverts in the Freeman Corp.He burned his stare making his presence known to her. Just as their eye clicked he didn’t miss the way she moved uncomfortably.“You’re late” Alec spat sending daggers at Rhys that seemed to be unhinged.Rhys had almost forgotten about the role he was to play before his true identity was revealed. He didn’t care at the moment, what irked him was the fact that his wife was seared a few steps away conversing with Damien while he rubbed her shoulder.His hands fisted, “Sorry” he mumbled taking a seat with his eyes still glued to his wife.Ashley moved away from Damien making Rhys smirk before he turned his stare away, letting the poor girl breathe.Soon enough the meeting began.Rhys knew the meeting had everything t

74. Anger, hurt And Disappointment
Rhys walked out of the car with Ashley by his side walking their way to the entrance of the house.He wasn’t only introducing her to his parents but rather a way of telling them he has agreed with their decision even though he knows deep down his siblings would be the last person to agree to the fact that Rhys accepted defeat.The door swings open revealing one of the maids.“Good Morning Master” she greets sharing a look with Ashley.He didn’t miss the way the duo had smiled at each other causing his left brow to arch up. He didn’t need to be told that the two had formed a relationship with the days Ashley had spent in the villa.He placed his hands on Ashley’s lower back ushering her inside the house and caught into their staring contest moment.“Let’s go” he ushers.He led them to the dining table where he’s sure by now they must be having breakfast. Their presence has the air suddenly filled up the place seizing Mickelson’s attention.Rhys's eyes dropped on his mother who has her

73. Be Your Worst Nightmare.
Ashley watched as he walked away unsure of how she was feeling at the moment. Seeing a different shade of Rhys kept her on the edge these days.It’s like he’s a different person. Deep down she knew that right from the start Rhy had more to what she thought of him even though she couldn’t point it out.Rhys Mickelson.Her husband, or rather disguised billionaire into a riffraff. There is more to Rhys that she’s yet to see, she’d be lying if she says she says she wasn’t afraid deep down but the comfort Rhys had been rendering makes her feel insecurely safe.The sincerity in his tune when he said he’d protect her and make sure her uncle and Giovanni would stay a length away from her has her doubt cleared out now that she knows what sort of a person he is.Maybe not know him completely but she has a hint.He’s a Mickelson after all. Their power and dominance are enough to wipe their enemies out of existence with a snap of a finger and with no trails left behind.She huffed out a sigh gett

72. Acceptance.
“Where is she?” Ron grumbled through the phone as Rhys placed the fry that threatened to slip from the plate he had assembled Ashley’s breakfast.Heaving out a sigh Rhys held onto the phone on his right ear. “With me, is there a problem with that?” he asked knowing very well who Ron was talking about.“Mum thinks she’s unsafe with you. You better not try—“ Before Ron could complete his statement Rhys cut off the call discarding it to the side.Rhys paused for a second placing both hands on the counter as he let out deep breaths of frustration and annoyance.He’d be lying if he said it didn’t bother him but how his relationship with his mother is going? It’s like she has completely diverted away from him and turned him into an outsider.She has no ounce of respect or faith in him which makes his heart squeeze in displeasure. He knew it was going to take a lot more than fixing Ashley’s life to patch up their relationship but nothing he wasn’t willing to try to get her back to to his si

71. Speak.
Rhys stared as she forcefully took spoons of the food with her limbs shivering here and there while she stole glances at him.He probably shouldn’t be making her much more panicked and as uncomfortable as she is but he couldn’t help but stare at her.She is a freaking goddess in all shades of her, beautiful yet poisonous to him. Ashley is a forbidden fruit that he needs to abstain from before she fully becomes part of his life. He feared he would pull her into his already messed-up life.How on earth does his parent expect him to live with her for the rest of his life without breaking the boundaries? As it is, he has tried crossing limits here and there but he always backs out before it’s too late.He moved his eyes around her shuddering lips gulping down as he tried to keep himself calm until he could no longer contain it, he leaned up grabbing a hold of her left cheek before claiming her lips. Rhys groans nibbling on her lower lips till she eventually gives in and grants him access
