Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Ashley's truth has been revealed to Ronald this thought is enough to horrify Ashley to death, let alone this will happen and she will be disowned by Ronald and the entire family.

"No, grandmother he doesn't know anything and I can't ever let him know, otherwise he will be chased me out of not only from his house also from his life."

Ashley, after composing his horrifying thoughts, said calmly.

"Then why is he mad at you?"

"Because Sarah made me confess that she was not a drug addict, and I was mistaken when I mislead Ronald. Since then, Ronald is not good to me thinking because of me he misunderstands Sarah. Then I tried to sow more discord between them and Ronald scolded me."

"Ashley, how could you be so stupid?"

Marie has a headache after listening to how her granddaughter is royally ruining her life by her one and another foolishness.

"Ashley, you have already enough messed up, now no more foolishness. You have already annoyed Ronald. Your husband and your foolish behavior also made all family members against you."

"Now learn from your mistake and don't repeat it in the future. Stop targeting Sarah all the time and think how can you make it for your family first." Marie said.

"Alright, grandmother, please tell me how should, I will do whatever you will say."

Ashley said impatiently as she got a lifesaving straw in the mid of the ocean.

"Ok, now listen, from now onwards, don't plot anything without my concern. You have already missed the chance to be with your husband, now don't miss the chance to impress the family members anymore. From now don't pretend in fact be a good daughter-in-law and devote serve yourself to family, especially to your mother-in-law. Mrs. Julia has a soft corner for you, if she is flattered then Ronald will also like it when he will be back."

Marie tried to make Ashley understand as a good elder, but she has very little hope for Ashley who is getting crazy behind Ronald's love, don't know how much more idiotic act she will do if she will not get Ronald back in her life soon.

That's why Marie tried to make her understand mending her ways and don't do any mistake.

"Ok, grandmother I will do exactly as you said."

Ashley wiped her tears and a new ray of hope lighted her dark heart.

"And, please for god's sake don't repeat any of your previous foolishness anymore."

Marie once again reminded Ashley not to be impulsive and aggravated, before hanging up the call.

"Ok, grandmother," Ashley said obediently, and both hung up the call.

Ashley drowned in her grandmother's instructions and realized she has really done wrong.

She shouldn't try to harm Sarah.

This new realization is not because she is guilty of doing anything wrong, this is for her own concern.

She realized that fatal accident of Sarah is more than Ashley's doom.

'Grandmother is right, I was doing wrong. It's good that nothing happens to Sarah otherwise Stefan didn't let it go, they both already knew my true face and Sarah's death made him suspicious of me. If he would check CCTV footage, I would be caught and end up in jail.'

'After that, mother-in-law would not take even a minute to make Ronald divorce me and chase me out of this palace.'

Now Ashley exactly knew what she has to do and with her full dedication. This is the only way to come out of the mess she herself created.

From the next morning, Ashley started her new try to make up to everybody.

Three months have been passed, Ashley is still trying her best to compensate family members for her previous mistake and somehow successful to make a place in everybody's heart.

His genuine efforts didn't hide from anybody, Julia is the one who is the happiest with her.

One evening, Sarah walked out of the washroom being exhausted actually just now she throws up. Her gaze fell on Stefan who was in some deep thoughts and didn't notice Sarah has thrown up. She has called him few times, but Stefan didn't react.

"Stefan.... Stefan...." Sarah called Stefan in a loud voice, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Yes, Sarah, what's wrong?"

"You tell me what's wrong with you? Stefan, I was calling you for a long, where have you lost? What are you thinking so deeply?"

"I was actually thinking about Ashley," Stefan said solemnly.

"Excuse me....."

Sarah made a fake angry face, kept a hand on her hips, gave an angry glare to Stefan standing in front of him still said playfully.

"Oh, ho angel not on the ambiguous way." Stefan pulled Sarah from her wrist, making her land on his lap, and hugged her waist.

"I am just confused thinking about the change Ashley has shown in the last three months, I can't distinguish is she genuine or pretending?"

Stefan again thinks about Ashley and shared his confusion with Sarah.

Sarah realized Stefan's doubt is correct, it's hard to believe that Ashley has changed. Sarah came out of Stefan's embrace and sat beside him.

"Even me too confused. Sometimes I feel she is really changed because it's more than three months she is being good with everybody and calm, didn't do anything to annoy big aunt. sincerely participating in taking care of house chores. Still don't know why sometimes I feel like she is pretending to get a family member's attention so that she can get Ronald's love."

Sarah also thinks something and said her confusion, Stefan was alerted. Ashley is so scheming that they can expect anything from here.

"Why so, is there anything that happens which was suspicious?" Stefan asked.

"Yes, two days back she came to my room and insist to help me with my design. While working, she actually started asking so many questions about Ronald. I didn't feel she is actually any help but trying to find out something. I have negative vibes about her."

"Sarah, we can expect anything from Ashley, now she already has big aunt's favor, she will force Ronald to come back early. What's more, it's our and Ronald and Ashley's six-month anniversary next week and big uncle wants to throw a party."

"Even if Ronald is reluctant, but he has to come back now, and Ashley's good behavior, either it is pretending or not, it will make Ronald move on with Ashley."

"Sarah, if it is good for his future, I don't mind, but if Ashley hasn't changed, I can't risk my brother's future. He is not foresighted and recognized people inside out."

Stefan said in grievances and held his head.

"I have an idea," Sarah said.
