Chapter 115
ASHLEY
[I’m deeply sorry for everything, Demi. Please come back home. I miss you. Everyone is worried.]
[Demi, I am handling Nicci. She won’t tear us apart, I promise.]
[The baby was an accident. You’re the only one I want to have kids with. Please give us another chance.]
[Call me back.]
As I go through the unread text messages that I have left for Demi, a head ache throbs at the base of my skull. She’s definitely getting my texts but she won’t open them. She has never been this mad at me and I am worried this might just be the last straw for her. Can she really forgive me this time?
"Are you okay?"
The sight of father in my office is not something I ever expected. I am struggling to believe he came all the way to see me instead of calling me over to the headquarters.
The last time I saw him, he had brought me here to introduce me to everyone as the new manager. That was a different time.
I remember basking under the euphoria of his intimidating aura and how proud I had felt to be the son of such a business tycoon. Now, as I look at him, the intimidating aura is still there but instead of pride, I feel...nothing. It’s probably because of the emotional rot I have been enduring for the past few days.
He helps himself to a seat because all I do is stare at him with glassy eyes.
