16- Disbelief

Ashley Walters pov

I did not know why Justin decided to take me to the dining area when Electra Deluca forbade me to leave my room.

Maybe because I was upset? Or because he might be feeling guilty for getting me stripped of my basic right of leaving the room?

The conditions ma’am Electra offered me while signing the contract seemed lucrative by that time but now, I realized what a fool I had been.

They denied me my basic right, and I said yes. Without even thinking!

“Who deserves your time, Sarah?” Justin announced as soon as he opened the door. We both knew that she was talking about me.

She was such a good actor that the frown lines that appeared on her forehead disappeared in a jiff when she saw me.

The woman knew how to control her emotions when needed. Right now, she could not unleash the crazy bi*tch hiding behind her beautiful face.

I felt jealousy surging through my heart when I saw her standing up and approaching Justin with that sexy smile. Her red curls were bouncing with each step.

When she came to my room this afternoon, I could not see her face properly. But in one glance I guessed, she was beautiful.

This impulse to push her away from him crossed my mind and I tried to control my hands by balling them into fists.

This morning she warned me to stay away from my husband who was supposed to be her fiancé. And now look at her.

What was she doing right now? Trying to kiss the only one who was like a friend to me in this

house.

“How are you, Justin? Missed me?”

“I am good!” Justin just replied to the first part of her query but did not respond to her ‘

Missed me‘ part, “Did you meet Ashley?” He pulled me forward to meet her.

“Ashley. Meet Sarah.” Turning to her, he smiled, “This is Ashley, and today she would be joining us at this table. Though she did not want to come out…” He eyed granny, “But no one can resist me if I put my mind to it.”
