Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

86-The Curse

Ashley Walters pov

What the hell! Birthday?

I spun my gaze to Sarah who was avoiding looking into my eyes. I could feel the man’s gaze on me who got rid of me two years back, so conveniently like I was a piece of trash.

“She…” I pointed to Sarah, “She just put a ring on.” How to tell her. Sarah just put a ring on Justin’s fucking finger. Were they all blind?

“Ms. Walters!” Electra Deluca called me and this time her voice was gentle, “please come down.”

“Oh, because your family name might get tarnished by this not–so–worthy girl?” I smirked pointing a finger at myself and went to Justin whose eyes were still glued to my face.

“Mr. Deluca!” I looked into those amber eyes, “Won’t you say anything? How do you feel to stay married to a woman you don’t… like!”

Justin didn’t answer me. It felt like he never ever bothered to hear what I was asking him. Very slowly he raised his hand, and his finger came in contact with my forehead. It started slipping down at a very slow pace tracing my features and then ended up on my lips.

“Kitten!” he whispered.

After the two longest years of my life, the word brought so many flashes of memories with it. The back of my eyelids started stinging.

No, I needed to control it.

“Ashley!” Electra Deluca called me again. With great effort, I pulled back from Justin’s finger which still rested on my lips and turned to face the woman.

She had climbed two steps with the help of her stick, “Come down.” She repeated gently, “here.” She extended her hand to be taken.

I was taken aback by the gesture and looked up in disbelief. Was she offering me her hand?

She nodded at me to encourage me to hold it. I went forward and held her hand. She slowly pulled me to get off the stage.

I felt myself to be in a trance walking behind her. While walking I didn’t dare to look at the guests but once … just for once I looked over my shoulder to see him.

Just for once.

His eyes were still glued to me.

I turned back and realized the old goat was taking me out of the hall. Was she doing it to save her family name? Her family honor?

Because I brought too much embarrassment to her in front of her rich guests?

“Alex! Ask the driver to bring my car.” She ordered Justin’s assistant.

“Yes, ma’am.” Within a few minutes, a car came crawling and stopped in front of us. Was she taking me somewhere?

That reminded me of the first day when she brought me home after signing the contract and asked me to sit in front.

“Please sit at the back, with me, Ashley.” She squeezed my hand when she sensed me going towards the passenger seat.
