Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

30- Sleeping Together

Ashley Walters pov

I stood there rooted to the spot. Justin told me to be bold.

To become a lioness.

But around this girl, I was not aware of what used to come over me. No matter what façade I put up there in front of her. Her presence always used to affect my mental health effortlessly.

I did not want her to see the little Ashley inside me who used to get scared easily.

“What do you want Sarah?” I folded my arms on my chest and ran my gaze over her. Her face was wet with tears. Her palms were joined, and she was wearing the same dress that she wore when she took away my necklace.

“I I am…” The tears in her throat were making her choke on her words, not letting her speak.

Whatever was making her upset, I did not like her standing there crying like this. She might be a stone-hearted person.

However, my brought up was done in a decent environment where I was taught to be down to earth and empathetic to everyone.

“You did not answer me, Sarah. What are you doing here? We can talk inside.” I did not want her to witness the wooden staircase.

That staircase was a formality, I was sure nobody would stop me from entering through the main gate. Justin won’t let that happen.

Thinking of Justin was about to bring a smile to my face, which I bit back immediately.

“I can’t

go inside, Ashley.” She said while wiping her face, “I am not allowed to.”

Not allowed to? Why? And why she was calling me Ashley and not Pashley?

“What are you talking about, Sarah? Why are you not allowed to go inside?” I looked at her face trying to look for any signs if she was lying or mocking me.

Was it a new plan?

“The day I misbehaved with you and took your locket…” She wiped her tears, “Justin did not like it, Ashley.” She started crying again, “He kicked me out of that house.”

What? No! I can’t believe it!

How can Justin ask his fiancé to leave the house? That too because of me?

Something inside my chest fluttered and warmth started spreading all over my body.

I placed my finger on my chest, “He asked you to leave because of me? Are you sure?”

She nodded her head, “He is a man of principles.” She smirked, “If he promised to keep you safe under his roof then no matter who the person is. He won’t accept any shit from anyone. No matter if it’s me or Electra Deluca.”

When my eyes went wide, she nodded her head with a sarcastic laugh.

“Why are you here, Sarah?” I demanded, “Whatever happened was between you and Justin. I did not know that you are no more in that house until just now.”

Justin wrote on that chit that Sarah would not do anything against me. He never mentioned that he has kicked her out.

“It might be between Justin and me. But the reason was you.” She walked closer to me and held my elbow lightly, “He will listen to you, Ashley. Please ask him to take me back. And I assure you, Ashley, from now onwards anything that you don’t like won’t happen. I swear, Ashley. Please ask him to take me back. I have been with him since childhood. I always stayed in this house. It’s almost mine as much as his. Please, Ashley. I promise I will try to be a better person.”
