A/N- There's a challenge at the end of this chapter with rewards. Don't skip so you don't miss out.

Hola amigos👋. This chapter will be based mostly on Greg and Ash. The power couple😃.
Enjoy!!🏃

❣Not edited❣

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It's not yours to Judge. Why hold on to the very thing that keeps you from hope and love.
-Leo Buscaglia.

"Hold your horses and don't break down my door," I yelled at the person knocking on the other end of the door.
I don't know what's wrong with people these days. Disturbing someone in the early hours of the morning.

"Wow!... look what the cat dragged in. I thought you said you'll rather die than come here again." I eyed Greg in contempt.

And to think I love this guy. Yeah, you heard me right. I still love him so much.

"I was just speaking in anger that day. I am sorry for calling you a skank, it wasn't my intention. I love you and I really miss you." He looked down in shame.

At least he feels remorseful.

"I don't know if anyone ever told you that being sorry always doesn't cut it. You can't just be sorry and everything is all honey and flowers." I said smugly.
"Please Ash I really love you, and I also don't want to lose you."

"You should have thought of that before you called me a skank. No one ever told you that words most times hurt more than one's action.
If no one told you, then I'm telling you right now. So please leave and don't come back. 'cause your presence is like a stink bomb disturbing my breath of fresh air."
"I will work for your forgiveness Ash even if I die working for it." He said looking determined.
"I'll like to see you try. I don't need you in my life, so I think in my opinion you don't have to bother. Goodbye!" I said shutting the door in his face.

He doesn't just call me a skank and goes scot-free.

Now my sleep is ruined. I've got to get ready for work.

🕘9:00 am at work🕘

"Louisa, please if you came to remind me that that I am yet to submit the report let me remind you that I am aware. Actually, I am currently working on it right now." I said immediately my PA burst into my office like there was a cat behind her.

Louisa is a good PA and actually very efficient. This is the reason she's still with me, but sometimes she can be an overbearing Miss perfect. Which is quite annoying sometimes.

"Actually..." She starts to say but I interrupt her again.
"I know the Luncheon is by ten a.m, don't worry I've got it covered." I smiled sweetly at her.
"No what..." I interrupt her again.

"I will be able to finish the report by then, so don't worry your head."

"FOR GOODNESS SAKE SHUT UP FOR ONCE!" She yelled at me.

Did I also mention we are really close? So she can yell at me with no restrictions.

"Geez, Louisa you didn't have to yell like that. My poor eardrum had to suffer your wrath." I frowned slightly.
"Sorry, it's just when you start rambling like that there's no other way to stop you. Don't worry I am calm now, so no more yelling." She took deep breaths trying to calm herself down.

"Good thing you are calm now. So what had you rushing here like the whole world is on fire?" I quipped.
"I personally think the whole world is on fire now." She bites her lips nervously.

"What's wrong? ...Tell me!" I fidget on my seat.

Hope everyone is fine.

"Greg is down in the reception. He asked the Secretary to tell you that he wants to see you, but you know she has to go through me first." She breathlessly explained.
"Girl I thought it was serious. Just tell her that I don't wish to see him. Here you had me thinking it was a 911 moment." I hissed.

Yeah, Louisa knows about Greg and I. Since Mia is still angry at me and I couldn't tell her what happened. I needed a place to pour out my pent up frustration, and Louisa was the nearest option.

"Yeah, I also thought it was not a serious situation until I went downstairs to tell him off. I saw a huge banner saying 'I love you, Ash, please forgive me'. Girl looked like a unicorn vomited all over the place with all the sweetness and much pink.

This is a 911 situation of the heart because if you go down you'll melt with love. All the old ladies in the reception area gushing over it. They're just waiting for the person it's for. Which if I dare to mention, it's you mademoiselle" She did a mock bow.

"No heart will be melting 'cause I'm not going downstairs." I gritted my teeth while saying this.
"Scared you will fall Ashy poo." Louisa cooed annoyingly.
"Get security to escort him outside," I said ignoring her statement entirely.

"Common Ash don't you think you're being too harsh. I know that somewhere down that golden heart of yours, you actually miss Greg and want you guys to be back together." She tried reasoning with me.
"Tell security to escort him out Louisa, and stop playing the good cop. Have you forgotten that he called me a skank?" I screeched.

"No I haven't forgotten Ash, but remember that sometimes forgiving hurts less than holding a grudge. Act like an adult and talk this out with him. 'Cause if you don't forgive him, you might end up regretting it."
"I don't think I'll regret it," I replied stubbornly.

"Do you love Greg?"
"Yes, I think I did."
"No, you still do. You're just in denial."
"Whatever," I said not attempting to argue with her.
"How long is your relationship?" She questioned.
"Seven years, four months, three weeks, two days, twelve hours and fifty minutes." I accurately supply.
"And she said she doesn't love him. Get off your high horse and listen to him. Then you can actually know if you want to forgive him."
"I'm not having that. Tell security to walk him out, and please get going so I can work on this report." I said dismissively.
"Listen to him Ash, else you'll regret it." She said walking away.

Will I actually regret it?

🕦11:30 pm going home🕦

"Ash!" Someone called out from the other side of the road of my house.

I yelled in shock and was about to run off when I discovered it was Greg.

"Holy shit! You scared the hell out of me. What is f*cking wrong with you?" I yelled at him.
"Sorry I scared you. I've been waiting all afternoon for you. I'm really sorry Ash, please just hear me out." He said sounding really low.

What's wrong with him?... Not that I care anyways. Ok! Maybe I do but whatever. It's none of my business.

"I didn't know you are now jobless, which is why you keep stalking me. Anyway, I have good news for you. If you came here to say all that crap of how sorry you are blah blah blah. You came at the wrong time, 'cause right now I'm really tired and not ready to listen to your bullshit. So good night to you." I finished, walking away from him and closing my door.

I hate being mean to him, even my heart is bleeding 'cause of the way, I'm actually speaking to him. I just want to show him what life without me is.

🕒3:00 am🕒

I woke up by 3:00 am to have a glass of water, and discovered that it was raining.

Please, God, don't let Greg be stupid enough to keep waiting outside.

I peeped outside and discovered no one was there.

Phew! The sigh of relief.

I was about to close the curtains when I saw a figure lying down close to the street light.

I hurried outside not minding the rain, hoping it wasn't Greg. To my greatest horror, it was Greg.

"Greg... Greg... Wake up, you moron." I shook him.
He opened his eyes weakly and stared at me while breathing heavily.

"You know I love you right." He said touching my cheeks adorably.
"This is not time to talk about love you idiot. I need to get you into the house right now." I said panicking 'cause Greg has chronic asthma.

No matter how angry I was. I never want to lose him.

"I love you from here to the moon and back." He heaved and fainted.

I hurriedly checked his pulse and discovered it was low.

Oh my God! What have I done? Will I lose the love of my life because of my stupidity? I wished I forgave him.

💖Mia and Jason💗

A/N - I'm going to try putting this in a third-person p.o.v

"Mia I think you should call Ashley," Jason said as they had breakfast.
"What happened?... I plan to call her after breakfast 'cause I'm no longer mad at her." She said while cutting her beef.
"I think she may be in trouble 'cause when I called her the last time, a guy was yelling before she cut the phone off. I forgot to tell you 'cause of all that has been happening." He said lowly.

"And you're just telling me now? If the person hurt her....." She was talking when she was interrupted by Ma'am Pagnole.

"This is definitely not how to start a good morning." Ma'am Pagnole said while dropping the daily newspaper for them to see.

"Holy shit! What have I done?" Mia gasped in shock.

Unknown P.O.V
Typical Mia! Always the attention seeker. I laughed when seeing the headline for today's newspaper. She always loved to make the headline, just as how she made my life a headline. I will also make her death a headline. Mia wait for me, I will get you soon.

Yay!! The unknown p.o.v is back again.*throws confetti in celebration*
I dropped subtle hints in this chapter who it can be. The question is who is good enough to guess who it is right.

💝CHALLENGE💖
The person to guess who it is as an inline comment on this chapter. Gets a follow from me, votes on all chapters of your book(if any), an honest read, honest comments, a shout out on my message board, next chapter gets dedicated to the person.

What are you waiting for? Bring out your inner FBI. Comb around all chapters if you have to. I actually want a winner but I can assure you it isn't going to be cheap. Good luck lovelies.

Btw do you think I should kill Greg off?😂

I actually legit cried when Greg fainted. I can't believe I'm crying for my characters.😂

Sorry for the cliffhangers... Forgive me.☺

Until the next update... Stay cool.
Love💝
Emma.
