317 Just As I Though

It has been a month since his defeat with Ashton Wright and until now, he still felt the rage boiling inside him.

He will never accept it, no matter what he will never accept it and that is why he was in this room on this time. No matter how underhanded, as long as he can hit Ashton and make sure he falls, Glenn wouldn't mind using anything in his repertoire.

The door opened and he turned around, came a lady with an innocent look that any man with just one look would love to hold and protect her at all cost.

That is if they still have no idea of what her true personality was.

Indeed, this world is truly deceiving, such an angelic look yet the inside was twisted hideously. So twisted than people would rather end their life than believe that the face this person in front of them was the complete opposite of who she truly was.

"Ashton have returned and my people who I stationed in the airports reported that she too have returned. I hope you have not forgotten what we talked about," she opened her mouth and spoke.

The mirage of her image completely shattered at how much her face have twisted as showed the hatred she has for the woman she was talking about, none other than Amber Wood.

"How will I forget when your body was something I will never forget," Glenn replied approaching her and touching her arms.

"Stop that," she hissed at him.

Glenn smirked and grabbed her arm, "Says the one who came to me first and seduced me just so she could get back at Amber Wood."

He then pulled her towards her, "So tell me Carla Ansel, do you really still want to act like an innocent one in front of me? When I know everything about your dirt?"

"You-"

Carla wanted to retort but she has none of it. She came to Glenn after she left Ceres country, it was difficult to get close to him. Especially since he was among the top brass in the world, with just money, there's no way one would meet him on a whim.

But Carla knew that if she wants to get back at Amber, her only choice was the Price Empire. Of course she can try the other Empires but she was aware than among the Empires it was only Glenn who got the chance to take a hit on Ashton.

"Have you also forgotten about that back then? I let you off then because it also helped me a lot but you just have to come back and offer yourself to me," Glenn then added.

That's right, the only reason she was able to meet him was because they shared a certain past. When everything was going downhill for him, she appeared and offered a deal.

"The deal about Madison," Glenn finished as the back of his hand touches her cheek.

Carla pursed her lips, only the two of them knew of the truth hidden regarding the incident about Madison in the past.

"That is- mmm"

(Flashback)

Glenn was having an outburst in one of the clubs and people could only step away from him.

This was a time more than ten years ago that he kept losing deals to Ashton Wright. No matter what he do and no matter how much he prepares, Ashton was always a step ahead of him.

It was during this time that an angel approached him, or so he thought for after having a talk with her, he found out that he was completely wrong.

It was none other than Carla Ansel who was supposed to be in another country was in Celestial country, hatching a plan for the demise of one person.

"I though you love him? Why are you hatching a plan that would hurt him?" he asked.

"Oh I do love him, I just couldn't stand the fact that another woman was in his arms. I will never accept that you see," was her answer.

And she was also the reason why the guards of Madison was not around when she was kidnapped. She lured them away as Carla Ansel, the one who was closest to the Wright Family.

Of course they would follow her instead of some random woman. And when they did plead that she lured them away after the incident, no one had believed them for she was in another country. And her denying it didn't help them at all.

(End Of Flashback)

She just didn't expect that no matter how much she tried to pull Ashton out of his darkness, it was of no use instead she would end up getting scared and stayed away from him.

Then came that Amber Wood who ruined all her future plans on making Ashton fall for her by being by his side no matter what.

So after she was kicked out of the Empire, she searched for Glenn, he had achieved so much because of that plan years ago. 

Because of this thought she searched for him and it was not for a naught for he indeed recognized her, he just didn't expect that her body would be the payment for what she desired.

In another four hours, Glenn was already fixing himself up while Carla was lying on the bed glaring at him.

"Don't act like a victim when you enjoyed my every touch. You do want her gun after all and I am the only one who could do that," with a scoff he left her in the room.

Carla was seething mad, she will never forgive Amber for the humiliation she had received today. And the days before that. The things she lost, she will make sure Amber Wood would pay for it tenfold.

"What took you so long in returning?" Michael complained after seeing Ashton a few days after his return.

Ashton just looked at him.

"Oh yes that's right, I was the one who told you to rest. Indeed indeed I'm sorry. I just missed you you know," he then said even raising his hands.

Michael enjoyed teaching Ashton for he was able to grasp the things he taught so easily and he can see how determined he was in acquiring this skills.

Ashton remained silent and was even serious as he looked at Michael.

"I told yo, I won't join you in taking down that gang," Michael also turned serious as he spoke of this.

"No, I am thinking whether I should hurt you or not," Ashton instead said.

He had been contemplating as well, if he really wants to protect Amber then he must do his best to acquire more trusted allies, more people he knew would really protect her.

"Huh? What are you suddenly talking about? Do you want to have a one on one?" Michael asked in confusion.

He thought for a good few more minutes before sighing, "Jasmine Sarah Scott."

Michaels eyes turned wide before it became even more serious. His people even turned hostile towards Ashotn.

"Calm down," Michael commanded as he raised on of his hands before looking back at Ashton.

"Just as I thought, you really do know who I was."

Ashton nodded but his face remained serious and solemn.

"Why would you bring up her name when telling me that you know who I was instead of telling my name?" Michael noticed how Ashton addressed the matter and asked.

"You told me that you have some agreement, that's why you didn't want to fight them," Ashton started.

This made Michael confused even more. He was going around in this matter.

Ashton sighed, "Have you any news about your sister? For the past eight years or so? Or even when you found out that she too runaway from home?"

"What's your point Ashton?" Michael didn't like where this talk was going.

"I guess you didn't. I shouldn't be the one telling you this. It should be your niece or your nephews. But I feel like we have no more time to dilly dally about this."

"Niece? Nephew? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Jasmine Sarah Scott, after she left home she found another life and she became Sarah Price."

Ashton waited for this to sink in in Michael, no his real identity being, Justin Scott.

Michael have heard a lot about Sarah Price, of course. Though he barely looked at her face. Just like his father, they never looked at her face. And since her puberty allowed her to grow up to have a very different look. They never noticed who she was.

"Why do you think should I believe you?" he then asked.

News of Sarah's death together with her husband and her daughter spread to the world way way back, almost twenty years ago.

Ashton didn't answer and just looked straight in his eyes, the same way as how he had convinced him to teach him his move.
