When There Is Nothing Left But Love

It was an unlocked phone!

Immediately, I dialled Ashton’s number and waited anxiously.

Soon, after a soft beep, Ashton’s deep voice sounded over the line. “Scarlett Stovall.”

“How did you know it was me?” This was a foreign number that wasn’t saved on his phone, so I didn’t think he would answer the call.

“Did you see Marcus?” asked Ashton.

Huh? That sounds strange. My excitement faded away as I replied in a low voice, “Yes, I did. I followed them here for Baby’s sake.”

“Should I praise you for being a great mother?” Ashton mocked. “I must’ve been too lenient with you. Look, you’re threatening me with what I loved most.”

My heart skipped a beat at his words.

Ashton had spent his life in hatred. He didn’t expect to fall in love with me, so I was special to him. Even our son was second in importance after me. Yet, I risked myself just to save my son.
