Chapter 19

Stepping outside to have a glimpse at what was going on, Blaze was surprised to see her his long lost girlfriend, standing at his gate with her suitcases in her hands.

"Hey?" he questioned with his eyes almost falling out in shock as to who he was catching sight of.

"Blaze," she called out with a smile on her face but she was not happy to see her. The feeling was not mutual and he was not certain whether to send her away and ask his security agent to shut his gate but again, his heart was still beating for her and he had to listen to what she had to say.

"Send her away," he spoke out but he asked him to stop, he told him not to worry himself about her because he was going to solve the problem.

"Are you kidding me, bro?" he questioned his friend hoping that he was dreaming but to his amazement, he heard he tell him not to interfere in the matter. He was like a baby glued to his mother's body, and at the sight of her, he had become calm and subtle and he was acting as if he had lost it.

"Grace???"

"Yes sir." She responded from the kitchen where she was peeping behind the door and walking into the living room, Blaze instructed her to take her luggage into a guest room and to also make sure to prepare some breakfast for her.

The smile that had been designed on her countenance at the hearing of that, made him to give Blaze an unbelievable stare which he knew that it was not going to go well.

"I am out of here, the environment is not conducive anymore," He spoke out while walking out of his place and though he wanted to call his friend back so badly, he was trying to get things done first before doing that.

"Bye bye." she voiced out in a mocking tone which did not have any impact on him since it was his friend that he was sorry for.

"The next time you come around me with that disgusting carcass of yours, I will make sure to reap your head off from your body," she mumbled to Blaze security agent before turning to lead the way into the house where she was completely amazed by.

"What do you want here and how may I be of help to you," Blaze demanded with his back turned but she's not wanting to let go of her opportunity, making sure that her saga was going to be a hard one which he could not resist for anything in the world.

"Unbelievable, I can't believe that he could still let that witch to come inside his house even after all that had happened. Sincerely she is still a witch cuz if she was not, I do not understand the reason why he will let her in so easily despite what she had done to him in the past." he grumbled alone inside his car with his nerves going up but he could not still find the right reasons as to why his friend will still fall for him just by seeing her again.

"How are you feeling now?" Ashlyn raised a question to her who was feeling all better after talking with her. It was as though the chatting and laughing with her friend had made her to feel all okay.

"Thank you for being here for Ashlyn, I love you so much, girl," she mumbled giving Ashlyn a very big hug and kiss on her cheek. She was smiling and that was something that was good.

"You know that I can do anything for you my friend because you are the only one that I have who understands me really." Ashlyn voiced out looking so happy and she listened to that, she was happy to know that their bond was still strong like when they were younger.

Chatting together and waiting for everything to be okay, her phone began to ring out and she told Ashlyn to wait for a while so that she could pick it up and when she took it out, it was her mother that was calling and right there, she knew that things were not going to do well.

"I was scared when you had that accident and sincerely, it wasn't as if I had planned to leave you at that time but I needed to go with my mom and that was the reason why I had to leave in order to fulfill her dream." she let out with her eyes letting go of taking tears and Blaze noticed that she was crying, his heart was trying to be strong but he could barely do that.

He had never loved any woman before but she had marked him for life with her looks and charms. She was a stripper at a bar that he use to frequent and if there was anything that he loved going to the bank for was because of use and her seduction got to him every time which made him to get into a relationship with her.

His mind was not sure whether or not he was to give her a chance but all he knew was the fact that she was there right before he enthrall her allures that made his body start moving with pleasure.

"Can I stay here with you?" She asked and to Blaze feeling like she was being stupid, asked her what she meant by that when it was clear enough that she was already staying. Her happiness was high up but Blaze left her there and went upstairs to his room.

His mind was giving him so many reasons not to believe her but for one reason or the other, he found it difficult to think properly. He was in perpetual torture to whether or not to let her enter into his life again because it was only going to remind him of so many problems that he was trying so hard to forget.

She had left her friend for her house and Ashlyn was all alone waiting to get a chance to go meet her mother, who was already been transferred to the intensive care unit and was been taken care of as she sat down there, she could not help but feel sad. However, that was life, and as long as they were living it things like that are bound to happen.

"God please save my mom and make her fine again," Ashlyn muttered while seating alone.

Things were not exactly the way she wanted them to be but she had to keep pushing. Heaving a deep sigh Ashlyn laid back on the chair with her eyes looking up at the hospital's ceiling and she imagined her life, looking like a potato all because her mom could not make it alive and the thought of it gave her goosebumps.

"Hello, miss Ashlyn, your mom's room is already now you can go meet her." A voice spoke out beside her and she looked up to see who it to was.

"Thank you nurse I appreciate it." She muttered looking all happy. She had not gotten a proper sleep for days and she could not even close her eyes when her mother was still under such conditions.

"Momma, you will be fine and I know it so I am not bothered about anything happening to you again." She spoke out.

Rising on her feet, she could give attention to someone calling out her name from behind and she turned around to see who it was and it was Miss.

"Miss!" She exclaimed with tears filling her eyes and making her to look like a kid and on seeing her have such a look, she thought that the worst had happened and her whole being was in chaos.

"What is going on Ashlyn, and where is your mom?" Her lips immediately raised a question and she ran towards her to have a tight hug and that made her cry some more.

"It's okay darling just calm down and tell me what is going on with you. Where is your mom?" She was been asked but she told her that she was in the ward and was out of the operation room.

"Operation room? How? When?" She inquired in confusion as she was in confusion on how they had gotten the money for the surgery. Telling her that a good Samaritan which they know nothing of had helped them.

Taking her into her arms she could feel her heartbeat against her chest and telling her that she was a brave girl, she could feel some warmth coming to her being.

"Thank you, miss. " She could feel dome love and the feeling of depression that she was having was fading away.

" Have you had anything to eat? " she asked.

And Ashlyn shaking her head in denial told her that she lastly had breakfast with her friend. Her face was worn out with Weariness and all she could do was to keep calm.

"Okay, I brought you and your mom some food but since she is still unconscious and might not be awake anytime soon, I think you need to go back home and get some rest while I take care of her." She voiced out but Ashlyn did not want to leave her moms sight so she insisted on getting things done by her but Paloma looked at her in the eyes, she told her to get back home and get a cold bath she will be there waiting for her.

"Okay, miss, I will do as you have said," she said before turning her back to pick up her bag. The day was really a hectic one and she had not gotten any shower.

"Take this and head home, I will look after your mom and make sure that she is fine. You need to eat and have some rest."

"Thank you very much." her lips let out before she looked in another direction which was where her mom's ward was. She wanted to say goodbye to her before heading home which was exactly what she was going to do.

"Is she your mother?" The Lady yelled out at her not wanting to understand that she was just helping her friend and the lady who made her childhood too sweet but she thought that her mom was joking unity her, she was about to move out to her room when she felt a hard slap fall on her face and it was very hard.

"You slapped me, mom?" she inquired in disbelieve but her mother shouted at her that she was going to do worse if she didn't come back to her senses, she was already going mad just by having her do that to her, she held her breath and with her eyes piercing through her mother, she began saying all that she was having inside of her.

"Are you talking to me like this?" Her mom questioned her telling her yes, she told her mom to get off her face before she does something bad to her. All she cared about was her relationship with her boyfriend which she had forced her to date cuz of money.

She asked her mom if she had ever loved her and why did she have to do something like that to her just all because of money when it was clear that her whole mind was filled with uncontrollable desires for stupid things.

"Calm down girl, you are losing it." Her mom spike out in fear but she was filled with so much rage that she wasn't probably thinking out straight. Her guts were rising and the picked up the lamp that was on the table and almost hit her head with it cuz she was tired of having a mom like her.
