Chapter Sixty-Two
Chapter 62: Back To America
Ashley's POV
“You fvcking ain't going anywhere. We are leaving together!" I yelled loudly as I blocked the door with my body. Carlos was going back to America, wanting to leave me here in this country.
“B*tch, I am tired of you. And do not think that I am a coward like you who would go into hiding forever. I am not and will never be. Now, get the fvck out of my way," he said coldly.
“You are cruel, Carlos!" I said through my blurred vision, “I left everything because of you. You wanna go back and make me a laughingstock, huh?!" I wiped my tears and continued, “I won't allow that to happen. We die here, motherfvcker!" I yelled deadpanned.
“If you make me miss my flight, b*tch! I promise you won't like the consequences," he warned with a straight and serious look.
I snarled at him, “Nah, I am not scared of you. We are never going back to Australia, rascal! Take it or leave it. I won't allow you to leave," I said to him stubbornly.
He checked his wristwatch and glared at me, “I have 10 minutes left, leave the door now!" He roared but I wasn't scared. I have gotten used to how he talks to me, I pushed him very hard suddenly and he fell on his back. I hastily locked the door and hid the keys inside my bra. He got up to catch me but I had left the door, “Hand me the keys!" He demanded but I stuck out my tongue at him.
“I have told you. You fvcking ain't going anywhere!" I said to him, I was looking for the opportunity to get inside the room. He gazed at me with a calculative gaze, “This would be the last time I am gonna ask for the keys, give them right now!" He roared and I had to block my ear.
I saw him charging towards me and I began running around the living room,” You are just wasting your saliva," I mocked him and kicked one of his luggage.
He looked very angry and he came for me fully. My heart was pounding heavily as I ran around the room, "Ashely!” He called my name loudly and that got me distracted.
"Ahh!” I screamed as he slapped me harshly across the face. He tore my clothes and got the keys, "You b*tch!” He spat out and pulled me by my neck.
"C-ca-los,” I struggled to say before he threw me at the furthest corner of the room. My back collided with the desk and I heard the bone-breaking sound, "Ouch!” I winced with tears and I saw him leaving the room in a hurry.
I rested my head on the couch and cried my eyes out. The pain Carlos caused me was nothing but I don't wanna give Gael the satisfaction that I regretted my decision.
But, can Gael mock me? My baby, my love, my happiness, my joy…
I continued calling him all forms of endearment names coming to my head, “Gael, I miss you," I said longingly and I squeezed my left chest.
“Baby, I miss you. I am sorry, please forgive me, my love. I am sorry," I continued to apologize to him as if he was here. I got up from the floor and sat on the couch. If Carlos gets back to America, he will find another way to hurt Gael. I can't allow that to happen, I wiped my tears and got up from the couch.
“Ahh-ouch!" I wailed loudly, I forgot about the pain in my back. I rested my hand on my hip and walked slowly to the room. I picked up my phone and ordered a taxi, which took me to the hospital.
I woke up after a few hours, and I booked for the next available flight to America. I have to apologize to my baby. He would surely forgive me, I giggled when I recalled how I had intentionally hurt him in the past but he overlooked them and embraced me instead.
“I promise never to leave you or hurt you, baby," I vowed to myself as I hugged my legs. I was suddenly craving for his hugs and kisses.
The process was done and I was lucky to get the one at 7 am tomorrow. I was feeling giddy to see him already. I packed myself up and left the hospital to go and prepare my things and leave this country. My memories here were not bad but worse!

Gael's POV
I was seated inside the ward Astral was in. She looked so pale with the bandage tied around her head. She was in hospital clothes and looked to lose weight. It's been 4 days and she hasn't opened her eyes.
A nurse walked in, “Good morning, sir," she greeted and I only nodded at her. She attended to Astral, changing her drips and all before she left the room. I walked closer to the bed and stroked her face gently. She was very mad at me the day she left the house.
Had I known, I would have chased after her and not allowed her to leave that day. This wouldn't have happened. The investigation was still ongoing but I made sure to arrest the director and her manager. They spent 3 days behind bars before I released them so that they could also carry out the investigations on their own.
'How can they be so clumsy and allow this to happen? I won't spare them,’ I vowed, this doesn't look like an accident. According to the director, a car was chasing after Astral which had to stop at a certain point but it didn't. The person driving it claimed he was having a hard time controlling the steering. The car was found to have been altered which proves it was a deliberate action.
“I promise to make whoever did this to you pay a thousandfold for the pain they have caused you," I said to her sleeping figure. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the sound of my phone ringing. It was from an unknown number…
