"I am scared, Peter..." Ashley said as she looked into Peter's eyes.

"Why, Love?" Peter asked making Ashley sigh.

​​

"I... I am just a maid's daughter... While you are..." Ashley answered as she looked away from him.

"Ashley, you know who I am too... But you still love me... Don't you?" Peter asked and Ashley nodded her head.

"I do... But still, you are now Cason... The son of one of the richest people in America. Do you think, Uncle Damon or Aunt Lucy will accept?" Ashley asked.

"They will... I am sure... Mom and Dad will try to understand their best... It just happened... We fell in love... Not me either you thought that we will date..." Peter answered.

"I don't know... They might get angry at you... Or... You know... Anything might happen..." Ashley said as she looked at Peter into the eyes. 

"Well... I might be angry... But I am telling you right... They are the most understanding parents ever in this world... They are so kind-hearted... If they don't support... Sam or Brother-in-law... Someone will support us... I am sure... They will try to make my parents accept... I will talk to them... You just don't worry!" Peter said as he hugged her.

"I just don't want to get you in fights with your parents, Peter... You just got a happy life to live... I don't want to take it away from you and make Uncle Damon or Aunt Lucy feel bad about it... They are so happy that you became their son finally... I am sure, all these will mess up just because of me! And about Johnson brother... I don't know how much he can help us... At last, I am just a maid's daughter who lives in a servant's house in his Mansion." Ashley replied.

"Ashley... Don't decrease yourself like that... Even if you are a maid's daughter... You are going to be a doctor soon... You are an educated girl and a well-mannered girl... Everyone loves you in the family... And always wants you around. And Brother in law is like a brother to you... He loves you a lot... I am sure, he will be if we tell them about us! I don't want to keep this a secret anymore, Ashley... Mainly not from them..." Peter said as he cupped his face. 

"Peter... I am still not sure..." Ashley replied.

"Not sure about what, Ashley?" Peter asked and Ashley sighed.

"Let me think about it... Give me some time... Please." Ashley said making Peter take a deep breath.

"Fine... If you say so... Take your time... But I am telling you... I am not letting you go away... And that's final!" Peter replied making Ashely take a deep breath. She nodded her head with a small smile at him.

"Just don't worry about all these... We will be alright... If we say it, everyone... Just don't think about it a lot... And concentrate on your studies too..." Peter said with a smile looking into her eyes making her chuckle.

"Yes." Ashley replied making a smile brightly. They both hugged each other and then Peter kissed her forehead. 

Leo was seeing all these from far and was getting so angry at Peter as well as Ashley but he couldn't do anything. He wants to destroy everything between them but he couldn't right now...

"That fucking bitch..." Leo cursed and saw that they both got up from the chairs. 

Leo saw their hands intertwined and he sighed seeing their closeness. He saw them walking away from the food court to the shopping area. They both were talking and were smiling at something. Leo sighed as he got up from the chair and followed them both behind.

Just then, Leo's phone rang... He took out his phone and looked at the caller's name on the screen and saw it his investigator who is spying on Johnson and Samantha.

He smirked as he answered the call as follows his brother Peter. 

"Hello." Leo said.

"Boss..." The investigator replied.

"How are things going?" Leo asked. 

"They both are in Cynthus's house with Martin and Alexi." The investigation answered.

"How the things are going with Alexi's news? How is Martin holding up?" Leo asked.

"Boss... I don't think, whatever we made was a good idea... Because Alexi just released a statement a few minutes ago... It's all over Social media and tabloids..." The investigator answered.

"What? What statement?" Leo asked.

"She released a statement about her and Martin... Saying that they both are soon going to engaged and will plan for their marriage as soon as they get engaged." The investigator answered.

"What? Aren't they already get engaged?" Leo asked.

"They are!" The investigator answered.

"Then what the hell is with this statement? Are you serious?" Leo asked.

"Boss, why will I lie? You can check the statement yourself." His investigator answered and Leo ended the call and searched up the news and it was true about whatever the investigator said to him. Leo frowned seeing the news not knowing why Alexi took this Decision and what she is planning! It's confused him for a second not knowing that why Alexi will reveal about engagement and Marriage? It's not officially... They already got engaged but she is saying, they are going to... That means it's soon... And until then, Leo should take any step towards Alexi if not... It will be out of his hands. He sighed as he again read the tabloid.

"Ahhh, Alexi... You are the same girl I know... Stubborn and a confusing girl... The same attitude... You never let it down again... You proved yourself again that you are Alexi Julie." Leo said as he sighed.

"I will not let you marry Martin, Alexi... I don't want you to get your love in your life... I want you to see how you suffer by letting go of your love and while your sister's meeting goes of her husband... You both sisters are going to suffer a lot with me..." Leo said as he smirked.

"Nick will be the real man who will make you let go of your love... I will not do anything... Your Nick will do everything... And your sister." Leo said.

"Your sister will be the one who will suffer a lot more than you do... And seeing your sister suffering... You will suffer too!" Leo said as he chuckled.

"Ahhh! How satisfied I get just making you girls suffer..." Leo said as he took a deep breath.

He turned off his phone and looked at Peter and Ashely.

"And it's time to give you worries, my dear little brother." Leo said as he looked at Peter walking out of a store with Ashley... He wore his mask as Peter and Ashely walked towards him as they both talked something... Leo smirked under his mark... He walked toward them deliberately bumped into him, making him stumble back a few steps as Leo get into contact with his body... 

"Hey, can't you see?" Ashley asked and Leo looked at her.

"Peter... Are you alright?" Ashley asked and Peter nodded his head.

"I am alright..." Peter answered.

"Sorry!" Leo replied making Peter's eyes wide and Leo walked away from them.

"How rude... He is looking at us as if he is going to eat us..." Ashley was cut off in mid-sentence as she saw Peter's eyes still wide.

"Peter... What happened?" Ashley asked as she shook his shoulder. 

"Huh?" Peter asked.

"What happened?" Ashley asked making Peyer frown.

"What?" Peter asked.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Ashley asked.

"Where was he?" Peter asked as he looked around the mall.

"Who he?" Ashley asked.

"The guy... Who bumped into me?" Peter asked making Ashely frown.

"What?" Ashley asked.

"Where is that guy who bumped into me right now?" Peter asked as he looked around but couldn't find anyone.

"Huh? Why?" Ashley asked.

"Then hell... Did you see which way he went?" Peter asked as he looked at her and Ashely shook her head in no.

"No, I didn't but why? Why do you want to know about him?" Ashley asked making Peter sigh?

"Did you see his face?" Peter asked making Ashely frown.

"Huh? His face is covered with a hoodie and mask... I couldn't see his face." Ashley answered making Peter sigh.

"But... That voice... That voice... I am sure, I heard it... That voice... I still remember it clearly..." Peter said making Ashely frown.

"What? What voice are you talking about? Peter, what happened to you?" Ashley asked making Peter sigh.

"I heard him, Ashley... I am sure, I did..." Peter answered.

"Whose voice it is, Peter?" Ashley asked and Peter looked at him with his blood shoot eyes making Ashley get scared. But she stood straight and looked into his eyes. 

Peter took a deep breath and once again looked around the Mall just to find him... But, he couldn't and sighed making Ashely frown on him.

"My brother..." Peter said making Ashley look at him.

"It was my brother's voice." Peter replied making Ashely's eyes wide.
