When There Is Nothing Left But Love

In a fit of anger, I raised my leg and kicked Ashton off the bed. Completely caught off guard, he rolled off and landed on the carpeted floor, which undoubtedly cushioned his fall.

He sat up almost instantly and looked at me with a mixture of exasperation and amusement, the blazing fire in him seemingly doused. With his gaze still fixed on me, he growled, “You’ve got guts, Scarlett!”

I clutched my head and ignored his remark. Glaring at him, I spat, “If you touch me again, it won’t be so simple as getting kicked off the bed.”

With that, I pulled the blanket over myself, making sure to wrap it firmly around me before closing my eyes to sleep.

I didn’t expect that even without doing anything, Ashton would continue gazing at me with a sexually frustrated look on his face. After a long time, he finally went to the bathroom with a sulky expression.

With everything that happened, my head was hurting so badly I couldn’t fall asleep at all.

I fumbled for my phone and went through my contacts for John’s number.

The person who answered the call was a woman instead of John. Her voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t seem to recall who it was.

Hence, I merely said, “Hi, I’m looking for John.”

The woman replied calmly, “He’s in the shower. He’ll probably be out in about five minutes. If you trust me enough, you can tell me and I’ll relay your message to him. If you don’t want to, you can call again after five minutes.”

I paused briefly before explaining, “I need his help to keep an eye on Marcus’ funeral matters as well as Sally. Thank you.”
