Chapter 73: She’s In Danger Every Time She’s With You
"IT'S ALMOST dawn," I said to Ash as I glanced at the wall clock. "Don't you have any plans to take me home? Are we sleeping here now?"
He didn't respond. Instead, his brows were glued to the television, watching a romance movie.
I smiled, realizing that Ash was protecting me without even knowing. He was loving me without trying too hard. He comforted me when I felt down and appreciated me when I achieved something. He's selfish but selfless. Carefree but has plans for his life. Serious but full of humor.
However, it doesn't change the fact that I'm annoyed right now. "Ash, how dare you ignore me? After you fucked me hard earlier, you're just going to act like I don't exist?"
"Damn, so straightforward, baby. You're turning me on," Ash groaned, his hand caressing my arm in a sensual way.
"Ash!" I exclaimed, my brows furrowing.
He burst into laughter and turned off the TV before turning back to face me.
"Don't shout so much, baby. You might startle our child," Ash said, gently rubbing his hand over my belly.
I smiled. I didn't say anything and just placed my hand over his.
"You spent half the day with me, yet I'm already going to miss you," he said seriously, locking eyes with mine. "Can you promise you'll come back here again once you leave?" "Of course, I will." I nodded.
This will be my future home, anyway. With him.
"YOU MADE me so tired, Ash," I complained, annoyed that he had decided to park a little far from our house, just to mess with me.
I enjoy walking home, but not right now, especially since I'm still sore.
"Sorry, you're just too hard to resist," he replied, smirking, obviously taking my words in another way.
"You don't need to accompany me along the way, Ash. We're already near the house-"
I stopped mid-sentence when I heard strange noises coming inside. I suddenly became alert, thinking that my dad was here again to hurt mom.
But Ash's words made me freeze.
"Dad..." he said, his gaze fixed on a car parked nearby.
"Your dad's here?" I asked him.
He nodded. "It was his car."
Upon hearing that, I immediately ran inside the house. The noise grew louder. I could hear things being broken, and it sounded like there was a fight inside, making my heart pound rapidly.
Before I could go inside, Ash suddenly grabbed me and pulled me close to him. He pressed my head against his chest, and even though I tried to push him away to free myself, his grip only tightened. "Ash, what the hell?!" I snapped at him. "Let me go. If you don't release me now, you won't like what I'll do!"
"No, I won't," he firmly replied, looking into my eyes. "You can't go inside, Sapphire."
I stared back at him. His eyes were filled with concern, while mine were filled with anger. The fear was evident in his voice, too. He just gave me another reason to go inside.
I pushed him with all my strength. My shove was effective because it seemed like Ash wasn't fully focused. I was about to kick his crotch with my right foot, but he quickly grabbed it. His reflexes were good, as expected from the heir of the Coleman Corporation.
"Not that, Sapphire," he said, chuckling as he shook his head. "That's what makes you happy."
"And I don't f. ucking care-"

I was cut off by the sound of more things breaking inside the house. I heard someone shouting, but I couldn't tell who it was.
I was about to walk toward the house again, but just like before, Ash pulled me back to him.
"Do you trust me, Sapphire?" he asked, holding my head and gently stroking it.
I looked up and stared into his eyes. I could clearly see the worry in them, which I couldn't understand. What was he so worried about right now?
"I do, but my mom's there-"
"Do you trust me?" he asked again. He was so close that I could smell his breath.
"I-I do," I stammered, as if we were at a wedding, even though we weren't.
"Then do as I say," he said, holding both of my shoulders. "When Mason gets here, go with him. I'll take care of things."
"I'm going to get my mom-"
"I'll bring her to you, don't worry," he reassured me as he gripped my shoulders slightly tighter. "I always keep my promises. You know that, right?"
He seemed determined to hide me, though I didn't understand why.
"Why can't I go there?" I couldn't help but ask.
I only wanted to get my mom. If he was worried I might hurt his dad, there was no need for that concern.
He's Ash's father, after all. He's also the one who showed love to my mother. If only Ash knew how much I respected Silver, he wouldn't try to stop me from going inside. But all those thoughts were just in my head.

"You're the one he's looking for," he said, making all my thoughts stop. "And he's going to kill you. If he sees you, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to protect you. My dad's skills are far better than mine." "Can he kill me?" I asked, confused, because that didn't sound like the Silver I knew.
He was kind... wasn't he?
"He can, and he will," Ash answered, furrowing my brow further. "He's been searching for Simon's illegitimate child for a long time."
When a white car arrived and Mason stepped out, Ash immediately pulled me close and gave me a light kiss. "Let me take care of this, baby. I promise everything will be alright." Ash's father had been looking for me all this time to kill me?
No matter how many times I think about it, I just can't fully understand. I trust my mom and her story, and aside from that, I also saw his dad at their house before.
That was back when Ash didn't know my real identity, so he was confident enough to bring me to their house, but now, he almost pushes me away just to keep his dad from seeing me. As much as I wanted to know the truth, someone was gripping my wrists tightly as he opened his white car and shoved me into the back seat, though not rough enough to harm me. "What a nice way to greet me, Mason," I sarcastically told Mason as I adjusted my seating and straightened my clothes. "Aren't you even going to congratulate me?" I asked, annoyed. But he just glared at me before slamming the door shut, making me flinch.
Since he showed up earlier and approached Ash and me, he still hasn't said a word to me.
"Take care of her for me," Ash said to Mason.
"I should be the one saying that, bro," Mason said firmly, grabbing my wrist and pulling me closer to him. "She's in danger every time she's with you. I won't let that happen."
