Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 113

113- Surprise

Sarah Gamer pov

Marwick was not ready to come along. Nor was Keith. So, I used Justin as my shied. Yes, I accept that I USED him.

Why shouldn't I? He was the only one who could accompany me in all this craziness. Ashely was my sister, and she did deserve space.

But that didn't mean, she had to stay glued to us to get to know about us.

We could stay around her and could still allow her the space.

So, I was the one who planned this raid to stay closer to my sister. Our sister.

When Marwick was telling us about Leigh Walters, I was the only one in that room who was bawling my eyes out. Marwick was a superman who tracked Ashley's mom and the events that followed the poor woman.

One thing was confirmed. If Leigh Walters would have lived, Marwick would be her best friend and her favorite go-to person.

She met my brother for the first time when he was just a kid. She not only trusted him but also asked him to take care of her daughter. She didn’t say any such thing to grandpa who offered her eggs and hot chocolate. Nor she asked dad or my mom.

She had this intuition that her daughter would stay safe with my brother.

Sorry. Our brother.

I just could not believe it. I had a sister. Yayy!

All this time, I had a small sister whose life was becoming hell because of me. When as an elder sibling, I should have protected her and stood beside her. But what I did? i

I kept scheming and planning against her.

While Ashley? She brought back a nasty person to the mansion without realizing that I could scheme against her. I could kick her out of Justin's life whenever I would get a chance.

Now I had to make an effort. Just like I did to bring back Justin and my little sister together. That get-together had been a nasty one too.

I wrote those sick letters to her, and she didn't even tell anyone. Not even Keith. For her, it was the perfect time to take revenge.

But she didn't.

Justin truly deserved a partner like Ashley. And I think...

I think ... Keith was perfect for me. Yeah. He was... good ... I think.

We all reached Arguli like it was going to be a political gathering. Besides me, Justin was the only one who was excited to meet her.

Marwick was not convinced as he thought Ashley should get more time to process this all. My sweetheart Keith wanted to be there for me.

About dad? He was hibernating in his room. Granny was released from the hospital, and grandpa wanted to stay here to look after her. Just like granny, my grandpa also needed company.

Dad wanted to leave right away but was staying back just due to grandpa. Grandpa had told him clearly that he would stay in the mansion for some time. Dad should go ahead and take mom with him.

Dad! My dad. The villain of Ashley's story. I didn't want to think that he was the evil one in all this fuss. But I will sort it out later. One at a time.

Right now, I had two things on my mind.

My pregnancy and Ashley.

Later, I will sort out what to do with my relationship with dad.

Yup. Later!

Ashley Walters pov:

Looking into my eyes, Justin held my hand and intertwined our fingers," Should we?" he asked before raising my hand and kissing the back of it.

Nodding my head, I looked behind and waved at the audience. My apartment was quite spacious but the way they all had crashed here, I swear, it had shrunk to a bunk.

Closing the door behind us, Justin lifted me up, "I missed you so much, the Garner heiress." "What?" I laughed, circling my arms around his neck.

'Yeah. You are no more that scared kitten who entered my heart and my home as a maid. You are my lioness." There were intense emotions dancing in his eyes when he placed me gently on the bed.

Instead of leaving me there and circling the bed, he sat down, close to me on the edge.

"Whether I became ... a lioness or a tigress. I will always be your kitten." I told him confidently. He pulled back a little to look at my face. I knew he was stunned and did not expect it from me.

After we got back together, I never expressed my emotions to him. He was giving me time to heal from the pain he inflicted on me.

Our separation made him suffer too. All this time I was not alone in bearing the pain.

"Ashley Walters. Or should I say, Ashley Garner..." he swallowed hard, "All I need is one chance. Just one chance. I promise you, kitten. I will make it my mission to spoil you to bits. To never let you go through another heartbreak."

His face seemed like he might cry. There was not only pain on his face but also fear. The fear of losing me.

Holding his hand, I kissed it, "I know, Justin. There are so many things I want to tell you. There is so much, I want to share with Marwick and Sarah. And Ashton ... and Steward too. I always grew up without a family. Over the past few days, I not only got YOU back but also got a surprise family as well that I always craved to have."

When he wiped my face that made me realize that I was crying.

"I understand, my love.” He whispered and kissed my cheek, "I understand.

Please don't cry." We both were overwhelmed with emotions.

I jumped at him and hugged him tightly, "I am scared. Justin, I am so scared. It seems like this is all a dream. Once I will wake up there would be nothing. After this dream ends, there will be no one beside me on this bed. There will be no siblings outside this door, sleeping on the floor to make their presence known to their surprise sister..." I sobbed, "I loved Elijah... and Sam. And I lost them..." "Ashley!" Justin tried to console me, but I didn't let him speak.

"Justin. Evelyne is suffering because of me. I was the one who went near that gas cylinder. I knew how to operate one. I shouldn't have tried to make it work. Instead, I must have called someone for help who could have a look at it. I still don't know what I did wrong. One blunder... Just one blunder by me and ... and ... poof!" I giggled with tears still sliding down my cheeks.

"I lost my family. Evelyne lost her future. And guess what? I survived..." A humorless laughter escaped my lips, "I feel so guilty when I look at Evelyne, Justin. I was the reason she lost everything. The irony is ... I am getting everything back multiplied by ten folds. But Eve..." I could not continue and leaned my forehead on Justin's arm.

All the bottled-up anger and pain was getting out through my tears. I wept uncontrollably and was so much engrossed in my pain that I didn't hear the click when the door to my room opened.

"I never knew you hold yourself responsible." I froze when I heard Eve's voice and looked up. There were tears on her face too, "I am sorry. You were crying so loudly that we could hear you outside.”

Oh. This meant every one of them heard me.

"Don’t you dare be ashamed of your pain, Ash." Eve sat on the edge beside Justin. She wrapped her arm around me.

"Whatever happened, it was no one's mistake. Elijah was my everything. But he was your brother too. You might have got your family back. But Elijah was Elijah. He can never be replaced by anyone. Not for you. Never for me." "Oh, Eve. When you came to live with us, I wanted to apologize. I used to gather courage but was such a pu*ssy that I could never do it, Eve." We both were crying.

"Now listen to me, Ashley!" Eve wiped her face and then held mine, "Look here, dammit." She scolded me in her usual mother hen tone, 'You are STILL a pussy! Ok?”
