Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid By Lisa Salman Chapter 99
99–Some Privacy
Ashley Walters pov
Technically Aniya had the biggest bed among us. But I preferred to spend the night on MY bed.
Aniya poked an elbow in my tummy when she thought no one was watching, “Hmm. Small bed!” She wi
ggled her brows, “so that you can stay closer to him. Ooh… glued to him.” She winked cockily
and I had to control the smile that was not leaving my lips.
All I could do was kick her leg under the table.
After Eve served us beer cans we chatted until I could no longer stop yawning. Without
waiting for a minute, Justin got to his feet and pulled me up.
“It’s time to go to bed, kitten.” He circled his arm around me.
“He is right,” Eve nodded, “Good night, Ash. Good night, Justin.”
“Night!” we responded to her.
Once inside the bedroom, I looked at my not too small but not too spacious enough bed
that could hardly amodate Justin and me.
Unless we would decide to snuggle.
I heard him sighing beside me, “I can use the couch, love. Don’t worry.”
“No, no. You can use the bed and I can….” He didn’t let me finish.
“Nah! Rubbish. The couch is perfect for me!”
“B… But how would you fit here ….”
“Shh…” he pulled
me to him until my chest bumped into his hard body, “Two years back… I had the biggest bed in
my bedroom, yet you used a mattress in the corner of my room. If you can do it, why can’t
1?”
I could detect regret on his face.
“Whatever is done is done, Justin. No need to cry over spilled milk,” I said holding his arms, “I urge
you to sleep on the bed. The couch is perfect ording to my height.”
But he stubbornly shook his head, “That’s not happening, Ash. Either let me sleep beside you. We had
already slept, snuggled to each other.” Chewing my inner cheek, I tried to hide the blush that
crept on my
cheeks.
Smacking his lips to my forehead, he went to the bathroom and that reminded me that he didn’t have
extra clothes with him.
Now, what should I do?
I started fishing for my longest and biggest pair of shorts. When the bathroom
door opened, he came out with a towel around him.
I opened my mouth to talk when he quickly said, “Don’t worry. I am not naked inside.”
Rolling my eyes, I turned away and started rummaging through
my cupboard. His naked wet skin was putting silly thoughts in my mind.
“What are you doing here kitten,” the familiar male cologne
hit my nostrils when his arms wrapped around me and hugged me from behind.
“You don’t seem happy with my
stay,” he said leaning his chin on my shoulder, “I won’t mind leaving the ce if …”
“It’s not that!” I said defensively and turned around, “I was just worried. You don’t have anything to wear
for the night. I think you should keep one or two extra pairs of clothes here. In case of
emergency, you can…” I didn’t realize what I said
until his mouth came down and grabbed my lips in a kiss.
My hands went to his nak*ed chest at once and started stroking it.
“Damn!” he pulled back and leaned his forehead against mine, “Are you sure about that offer? You reall
y want me to keep my extra stuff here? Because my hopes are skyrocketing.”
I knew
what he was implying. He wanted me to return to him. Not on his but on my own terms. He was giving
me time. The space. The chance.
“No worries.” He spoke gently caressing my cheek, “take your time, kitten. Take your time.”
I managed a tight lipped smile and pulled back with great effort.
“Go to bed. I am taking the couch.” I said stubbornly and ced my hand on the hip.
“This is not happening!” Urgh. We were back to square one. In a few strides, he went to the couch, ope
ned the towel from his waist, and tossed it on my face, “Stop drooling, kitten. I know I am handsome. N
ow go to sleep. You don’t want to gette tomorrow.”
Heid back on the couch and covered himself with the extraforter, Aniya provided us.
When I was out of the bathroom, he seemed to have gone to sleep.
“Good night, Justin,” I whispered and was pleasantly surprised when heard his sleep filled response.
“Goodnight, love.”
I wish I could just lie there and keep staring at him like a creep. I could not believe it. He was not only b
ack into my life but was sleeping on that couch right before my eyes.
I was almost tempted to call him and invite him to lie beside me. After all, we did sleep together the pre
vious night.
He was not forcing himself on me nor he was trying to get glued to me. However, all I wanted to do was
give up and hug him tightly to myself.

“Here is your omelet,dies,” Justin ced the tes
in front of us. My lips were rolled between my teeth while Aniya and Eve
were a little taken aback that a male … like a hot handsome alpha male
was serving them breakfast this morning.
“Here is your coffee!” he started pouring it into our cups. Aniya pouted
at the strong smell. She never liked ck coffee,
“Milk and cream are on the way, Aniya!” he went back
to the kitchen to fetch it when Aniya leaned forward, “Does he know telepathy? How he came to know t
hat I need milk?”
“Ash!” I heard Eve’s low whisper, “the man is a keeper. Don’t let him go!”
I gulped down and nodded at her. Justin came out of the kitchen
and poured full cream milk into Aniya’s coffee.
“That is awesome,” Eveplimented when she took the first bite of her
fluffy eggs. Hers was a mushroom omelet with creamy mushroom sauce.
2/4
Mine was a vegetable omelet and Aniya only preferred the one with lots of spinach.
We had our breakfast and Aniya and Justin kept teasing each other. Justin told her
how she was a messy girl and Aniya told him how he made her an omelet that had too much salt in it.
Every now and then Justin used to take
a little portion of my omelet. In return, I picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.
That made him beam with happiness.
Once breakfast was over, Aniya quickly offered to do the dishes. Evelyne and I were almost dumb with
the shock. Aniya never offered to do any chores until she was forced to do so.
It was when she was
collecting our tes that Eve covered my hand ced on the table and said softly,” I think you need to
know something about Justin.”

“Evelyne!” I heard Justin’s voiceced with warning. I looked
at them in confusion not knowing what it was all about. Aniya who was walking away to the kitchen stop
ped in her tracks and turned to us.
“Eve is right, Justin.” She supplied, “You made us promise to keep it a secret. But
this is the time, Ash should know about you. About us. About the deal.”
“What you people are talking about?” They all went quiet when I asked them, “Come on. Speak up. It’s
not that I would murder you all.” I said good naturedly.
“Ash,” Eve said
and threw a pleading nce towards Justin when he tried to open his mouth, “Two years back… Befor
eing here, we didn’t know that Justin had taken you
to Arguli University. But once he was back, he…” her voice seemed to get hoarse with emotions.
Justin was looking down at the tabletop silently.
“Once he was back, he pleaded us to go to you and start our lives with you.” My eyes snapped to Justi
n’s face. All those painful memories started shing across my mind like a movie.
“He… he was so concerned about you.” Eve continued, “And was so much
in pain. He… he even offered us …pensation.”
“What?” I asked her in surprise, “I … I thought … Ice cream Heaven was insured.”
“No,” she murmured, “it was never insured.” A humorless chuckle left her mouth, “Justin wanted to help
us to restart our lives. He convinced us and made us promise never to let you know about the deal.”
“You mean to say,” I gulped down, “If he wouldn’t have offered you money then you people would never
…”
“No! Never!” Evelyne said a little too urgently, “We would havee. And you
know that!” By now, her tears were sliding down her cheeks, “For me
and Aniya. You were the only family we had.”
Aniya ced the tes on the counter and came to me, standing closer she held my head to her belly.
“I am sorry,” She said in a teary voice, “You are my
childhood friend. And Eve is right. We had only you as a family. We could not imagine losing you. So, we
We
stayed silent for some time when Eve suddenly stood up, “Excuse me. Come on, Aniya. We need to go
“No! I want to stay here.” Aniyained and started making faces, “Let me see, how hepensate
“Aniya!” Mom Eve practically roared making all of us jump. She held
Aniya’s arm and started dragging her inside.
“Listen, Ash! I need details. Ok? All the damn details. Justin! Details! The coffee was crap!” She kept
screaming unti! Eve closed the door.
I didn’t want to cry but this silly stinging behind my lids was making it hell difficult
for me to control my pain.
Very slowly, Justin stood up from his seat and crouched on his knees close to my chair.
“Ashley!” he gently held my hands that were now on myp, “I am so sorry for everything.”
I turned my head towards him and made a pout.
“I gave you so much pain, kitten.” He said with
misty eyes. I kept looking at him with that pout and pushed back my chair.
Kneeling before him, I wrapped my arms around his
waist and pulled him to me for a hug. I was not the only one who suffered for two years.
Justin’s pain was bigger than mine. He not only sent me away but also became the
bad guy. He epted the tag to keep me safe.
We stayed like this for God knows how long when he atst pulled back and I saw his wet face. With a s
“I was so scared, Ashley. I thought you would throw me away from your life.”
“Shh. Quiet. No more misunderstandings. No moreints.” I ced my finger on his
lips, “I think we need to talk a
lot. Only lots ofmunication will bring us closer…” And then I looked at the door of Eve’s bedroom wh
“Lots of talks… Lots of hugs… and…” I winked at Justin, “Lots of kisses.”
Justin followed my gaze and the corner of his lips curled up in a smile. He understood what I was trying
“Yeah,” he said loudly, “A kiss is a good idea…” With that, he pouted
his lips and made some wild noises like he was groaning in between those magical kisses. I tried to sup
Right after those noises both of us stood up at lightning speed and hid beside their
bedroom door. As expected, after a few minutes the bedroom door opened slowly, and two heads peeke
“They are in the bedroom.” We heard Eve’s whisper.
“They should have carried on the make–
out session here. Who goes to the bedroom for this purpose?” Aniya grumbled.
“Umm. Perhaps, the ones, who need some privacy!” Eve and Aniya jumped in
fright when Justin spoke behind them in a mischievous voice.

couldn’t control it anymore andughed hard leaning into Justin. His arms were immediately around me
