SEVENTEEN
Asher left early so I am alone inside the office. I arranged the things that needed to be fixed first so that I would not have to worry about going home.
Suddenly the door opened and Carmona, Asher's secretary, entered.
"Oh, what happened there?" She pointed to my sore lip and seat in front of me.
"It's called stupidity." I laughed at my answer that strained to invigorate the voice. Stupidity because I let him hurt me even if I can fight back. But I remain quiet and let him punish me.
"Did your boyfriend bite that? He is a sadist huh!" She laughed while saying.
'Boyfriend? It's my husband. A husband that is very sensible and loving but I made a monster because I left.'
"Anyway, I've already scanned those files you give me and send them to your mail." And she handed me the papers. "This is all you need?"
"Yeah, and thank you," I said smiling.
"Anyway, Ashley, do you know the gossips here in the office about boss a

I DON’T know what time I fell asleep. But I was stunned when I felt someone touch my legs.I woke up immediately when I noticed someone sitting at the edge of the bed. There was a bit of darkness in the room because the light was dim light. The man was still bent over but he was obviously looking at me.When it lifted his face I was shocked. It was Asher and I'm sure he was drunk again because I saw him holding a bottle of wine."Asher?" I called then looked at the wall clock. It's past 2 am. What is he doing here? "Ash?" I called again but he didn't answer.I think I mistakenly gave him the key. He always shows up at my house which makes me nervous.He looked up and looked at me badly."Get up." Without any emotion, he said then stood up."Asher,""I said get up." I got up nervously but I still followed him. What was on his mind? What else is he planning? "Follow me to the bathroom." Still no emotion he said.I wa

I feel my body pain. My body is so heavy and I am tired to get up. But I need to go to the office because Asher won't allow me to be absent. Though I am not feeling well, I need to go to work because not my salary will be affected. But I will receive more punishment.Before I could enter the office Asher sent me a message. He said I went through the OB and asked for contraceptives.I am allergic to any pills. So all I can accept is injectable. I think it is ok, for just once. Then six months was valid then. Just right until the end of my contract with Asher.When I finished from OB gyne I immediately went up to his office. I saw him there sitting while reading some documents."Good Morning," I greeted him but he didn't answer. He just stares at me badly so I ignored him. I just took a deep breath and went to my seat.Asher's keep looking at me even when I'm sitting down. Although I was a little disgusted, I just ignored him and became more focused

=ASHER's POV="The place is quite good, babe, you surprised me, and thanks for bringing me there," I smile at Paula and held her hands."Are you happy?" I asked and kiss her hand."Yeah, I feel so special because you reserved a VIP table for us." I did not answer what she said because something running in my mind. "Hey, are you ok?" I looked at her who was obviously overjoyed at my surprise for her earlier. Dinner for us at an exclusive VIP restaurant. A dinner that I actually reserved for me and Ashley."Yeah, I'm just tired, you know, this past few days there is a lot of works in the hospital.""You haven't even touched your food earlier," she teased me. "I think you are not happy with me,""I'll just see you eat, then I am already full. I'm not in the mood, I just want to surprise you and make you happy tonight." She smiled and held my hand. "Did you?""So happy and thank you, baby. I thought you didn't want me anymore.

=ASHLEY's POV=I know Asher is angry when I left him earlier. We had already talked that I would wait for him in the parking lot but I go and left him. It is like that I let him know that I could trade him for anything or anyone. I made him look like a fool earlier in front of Eugene.I don't want to do that, but Eugene is right, I need to know the truth. I can't stay quiet when that man dies without being able to talk to me. I don’t want that to add to my regrets for the rest of my life.I know that nothing will happen and everything will not be changed even if I know the whole truth. But I can not be silent until the question in my mind is un-answered that I have long wanted to find an answer.'WHY ME?'With the number of women, why did they choose me?And now it will have the answer. All I had to do was go to the person who could give me an answer before it's too late."Are you alright?" Eugene asked so I looke

Even to say that he is the one who let me escape. He is still one of the people who abused me. He was one of those who hit my back as they laughed. He was one of the ones whipping my body. He was one of those who beat me. He was one of those who burned cigarettes and wanted to kill me that night.One of those who tortured me so how can I forgive him?"I'm not a bad person, Ashley. I've never hurt the feelings of others. I can't be like this if I don't regret what I did to you. What we did to you was the first and last sin I committed.Kranky forces us to use drugs and alcohol. My first and last taste of drugs. I know it's hard in your heart to forgive me because I'm one of those who drove you away. But I hope one day you will forgive me. Not now but hopefully that time will come. I'm happy because somehow I apologized to you. I said what I wanted to say before I died."He finds it difficult to speak but he tries to say what he wants to say. I felt a littl

"My name is Alora, Andrew's sister." She started. So Andrew is the name of that man. "May I?" She pointed at the chair so I nodded as giving her permission. She pulled up a chair and sat across from me."My brother is not a bad person, Ashley. Even though we grew up poor he never did anything bad. Yes, we are poor, but our parents always told us when they were alive that it is okay to suffer as long as you walk high in front of anyone you pass because you haven't done anything bad to others.""Why are you telling me those things?"I don't know what she's talking about. Maybe she wanted me to know that her brother is not as bad as I know."I just want you to know what my brother went through.""Let her Ashley," Eugene said. "Spill it.""One day, a friend hired him. They said they had a racket and paid a lot. He wanted to help me. Especially since my son is sick. So he went along. But when he came home he was different. I even saw

WE ARE in front of my house right now. I didn’t get out of the car first even though I wanted to rest. I just looked at the house while smiling and had no plan to go inside at this moment."Hey, you don't want to go inside?" he asked me then I looked at the house."I also don't have anything to do there. There's no life there, it's boring, quiet, are you in a hurry? Are you going to do something?" He shook his head."Nothing, you said earlier you wanted to rest.""I suddenly changed my mind,""Then let us go inside,""No, it's still messy, I did clean it yet.""Come on, it's ok,""No, I want to stay here outside. I just want to rest my mind for a moment. Is it okay if I will ask you to stay with me here? If it's okay with you and you have nothing to do.""Sure, no problem. As you requested. Then he turned off the engine and open the window.""Maybe you have something to do and I disturbed you?""No, n

"Come here Ashley, come closer to me," Asher called softly to me but I shook my head in protest. I was scared of how he looked because I could see he was furious as he looked at me. Though his voice was calm there was no denying the anger in his demeanor and face."COME!" he shouted which made my knees shake even more. So I could do nothing but walk closer to him even though I was nervous about what he could do.My knees were shaking and I could feel them softening as I walked closer to Asher. I don’t know what’s playing on his mind. But I'm only sure of one thing. He was angry because he was embarrassed when I left him earlier and I went with Eugene. I was sure he would retaliate in a way he knew I would regret. And now I can no longer explain how I feel.When I got closer I noticed the redness on his face. I don’t know if it was because of anger or the amount of alcohol he drank. Also based on the cans scattered on the floor.When I am
