14- My Heart

Ashley pov:

By now I was seething with anger. How dare she!

She thought I would be after her fiancé just because he was rich and was married to me. I was trying to control my fury by balling my fists tightly.

Justin told me to become a lioness. He was damn right.

I should not allow anyone to take advantage of me. The girl before me was undoubtedly beautiful. She had red curls around her perfectly featured face.

Her body from head to toe spoke of wealth. Her clothes seemed hell expensive. She was wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes.

She kept looking at my face then her nostrils flared up and she turned on her heels to leave the room. Her tone was so insulting when she tried to remind me of my contract marriage conditions.

I switched off the TV and started cleaning the bed.

“It’s ok, Ashley. Your life is precious. Everything that happens in our lives is necessarily not there to make us feel happy. Sometimes we need to pay the price for our happiness.” Mother Superior lectured me in my head.

I tried to push back the moistness in my eyes. I was missing my first home and I could not make a call to my friends or Mother Superior who was admitted to the hospital. The bag that got lost had my phone too in it.

Leaving the Doritos bags on the nightstand I scurried to my mattress. The same old corner that was supposed to belong to me for one year.

I no longer knew what else to do so I opened the window blinds partially and peeked out. It was a beautiful sunny day, and I just could not wait to go outside.

Oh, I was a pro when it came to sneaking out of the windows. Though Eden orphanage had strict policies, but our friends‘ group usually made it out of the window.

The sneaking out activity was carried out with such precision that we never got caught.

We never did it in broad daylight though.

I tiredly let my body drop on the wide window slab and lean my cheek to the blinds. What else could I do except lie on my mattress and go to sleep? But how could I sleep when I just woke up hardly two hours back?

I hoped they would not mind me sitting here. I could not risk opening the blinds completely.

I did not know how much time I spent sitting there looking at the lush green lawn, when I heard the door knock, I bolted up straight. I hoped my husband’s fiancé did not complain to him. I did not want to face that asshole!
