Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 28

28- Ashley’s side

Ashley Walters pov:

Shame

Insult

Humiliation

Pain

Everything started attacking me at once. How dare she? What did she think of herself? Why was she doing it?

Thank God, I opened the door on time when she was about to leave, otherwise, she would have killed me if she had read the chat written at the back of the door.

I was not the one who proposed Justin. Her fight was with the Deluca family. I was just a pawn. I was supposed to get my money and leave.

No questions asked.

But would I be able to leave Justin that easily?

That was the question that kept popping up in my mind lately. The cake on that bed was still there.

“Kitten? Ashley?” I jumped a little when I heard Justin calling my name and knocking the door.

I did not reply to Justin. I wanted him to believe that I had gone to sleep.

“I know you are still awake, kitten. I have got your necklace.” My heart missed a beat. Did Sarah give that necklace to Justin?

I thought she was more interested in wearing it. Why would she do that?

Ignoring the knocks at the door I headed to my mattress to take my due sleep. I wanted a clear mind. And right now I did not want to face Justin. Being a gentleman, he would not open the door unless I would allow it.

This was not his mistake. I could not let my frustration out on him.

He did not deserve it when all he did since my arrival was to be nice to me. The knocking had stopped. He must have left by now.

“I would talk to you later, Justin.” I laid on the mattress when I remembered that I had forgotten my phone, which he gifted me, in the study.

Thank God I was not carrying it otherwise Sarah might have taken that too.

Sarah pov:

“Sarah. You need to keep it together. If you would panic that girl will take undue advantage of it.” Shella told me frustratingly.

“Here. Take this.” Nadiya gave me the coffee cup, “It might help you to come to your senses. My both friends did not like the way I was losing my cool.

“You don’t understand it. She is very cunning. Sean and Helga were too close to Justin. And see what she did to them. I don’t know what magic potion she made Justin drink.”

I wish I could kill the girl with my bare hands.

“Stop it, girl. Don’t be silly.” Shella sat on the mattress causing it to dip, “There is no comparison between you two. You are a smart, intelligent, and beautiful girl who has a Harvard degree. For God’s sake, Sarah. Use that intelligence. Use your brain. Bring that Harvard degree to some use.”

I was not aware of what got into me. I hid my face with my hands and started sobbing uncontrollably.

“Sarah!” I felt my friends coming closer to me. One of them held my hands and the other one held me by my shoulders.

“Shh. We are with you.” I cried harder. They were consoling me while it was Justin who was supposed to be there and calm me.

It was his job.

“She… She will take away my man, Shella. I love him like anything. I love…” I hiccupped, “I love him. Oh, God. What to do now? Electra Deluca took away everything from me. She tricked me…”

They both were silently trying to offer me comfort.

“I always thought that she liked me. She made me believe that she had this control over the Deluca household. I was wrong, man. I made a mistake.”

My friends did not interrupt. They just let me bawl my eyes out.

God knows for how long, I kept crying. Once I got tired and started wiping my face that was when Nadiya left my hand.

“Should I bring you another cup of hot coffee? This one has gotten cold.” I declined her offer. Right now, all that mattered was their company.

At least, they were with me.

I needed them to help me kick her out.

Just then we all heard a knock at the door.

Justin?

“I knew it!” I quickly wiped my face with excitement, “I knew it. He can’t live without me.” Laughing to myself I ran towards the door and opened it.

Disappointment engulfed me like anything. With drooping shoulders, I came to the couch and
