Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid By Lisa Salman Chapter 110


    110- Leigh


    (21 years ago) Third Person pov: “Leigh! Come here.” The owner of the furniture shop


    was ady in her thirties, called Leigh.


    “Hey, Sandy.” Leigh took off the scarf from the lower half of her face and wiped the


    sweat from her smooth forehead with the back of her hand.


    “Are you visiting the doctor?” she asked Leigh, pointing towards her belly,” Are you


    taking your prenatal vitamins?”


    Leigh rubbed her belly fondly. She was four months along and now her belly had


    started protruding a little bit.


    “Yeah, Sandy. Thanks to you.” She thanked her employer who had been helping her


    with finances during this hard time.


    “Oh, it’s nothing. I haven’t called you here for your thankyous. There is something


    serious we need to discuss.”


    Leigh frowned and took the other seat, wiping her hands with a cloth.


    “You need to go,” Sandy announced without beating about the bush.


    “What?” Leigh’s head snapped up.


    “It’s not permanent, silly,” Sandy scolded her, “the paint fumes. They are harmful to


    the baby. I can’t take risks.” “B…But Sandy. H…How I will…” “I understand, Leigh.


    Don’t worry. I will still take care of the medical bills and your prenatal. But the hospital


    admission for the baby’s delivery must be paid by you. I am trying to do whatever is


    possible for me.” “I know, Sandy. And I am thankful. B…But there are other things to


    take care of.” Oh my God! What would she do now? She could not afford to lose this


    job.


    “Listen, Leigh.” Sandy leaned forward propping her elbows on the desk,” Where is the


    father? Ask him to take some responsibility.” ‘This pregnancy. It just happened… by


    ident. He can’t afford it with his current job.” Now Leigh was rubbing her palms on


    herp in nervousness.


    “I understand. But he can’t step back from this responsibility. As a soon-to- be mom,


    you are also trying. Right? Why can’t he, as a soon-to-be dad?” after that Sandy went


    quiet as if hesitating a bit.


    “Leigh. Is the father still there in your life? I mean… I hope he hasn’t left you


    “Oh… No,” Leigh shook her head giggling, “he hasn’t left me. He is there.


    But stays out of the city due to his job nature.”


    By now, Leigh had started fidgeting her fingers on herp.


    ‘Talk to him, girl. Once this baby will be delivered, I will take you back with open arms.


    But we can’t risk the baby’s health.”


    Leigh tucked her upper lip between her teeth and stood up. She knew this moment


    woulde up, once the pregnancy would be known. But that was too soon. Sandy


    was a caring employer, but she was not wrong when she said that the baby needed to


    stay safe.


    ***


    Eighteen years old Leigh Walters came back from her furniture painting job and


    unlocked her dinky apartment. She was missing Ashton like anything.


    Last time, she was so scared when she told him about her pregnancy. He was so


    particr about precautions because he didn’t want a baby. He was struggling in his

    life. He had no one except Leigh.


    But the moment, Leigh told him that she was pregnant, his face broke into a big smile.


    “Really. You have made me a happy man.” He hugged her and made slow love to her


    that day. She was a beautiful woman and the first time Ashton saw her, he could not


    keep it inside his pants. He was tall, smart, and funny. He knew how to spoil a girl


    without spending money.


    By making love to Leigh, cleaning her apartment, sharing simple meals with her, and


    staring at her face like she was the most beautiful woman in his life.


    He used to work outside the city as a car mechanic and didn’t have any proper ce


    to keep Leigh with him. He could not stay with her either as his bread and butter


    depended on his mechanic job. He needed to concentrate on his work. He could not


    find enough opportunities in her city, rted to his field, so it was sensible to stay out


    of the city ande to see his beloved, once a week or month.


    She was not nning to have dinner as she had already eaten at work. Her owner


    was quite a caringdy, but Leigh had something else on her mind.


    Ever since Sandy had asked her to take a long leave due to her pregnancy, she was


    worried about finances. The paint fumes could be hazardous for the baby.


    She didn’t know when Ashton would visit her next. Sandy thought that the baby’s


    father should also chip in to take responsibility.


    Leigh never thought like that. She always thought that she was the one who made a


    mistake and fell pregnant, but Sandy exined to her that the baby belonged to both.


    So, both parents must take responsibility.


    After taking bath when she stepped into the room, there was a knock on the door.


    Leigh’s heart missed a beat.


    Only Ashton was the one who used to visit her. She opened the door and shrieked


    excitedly.


    “Ashton!” “Love!” Ashton lifted her up and kicked the door close. As always, they got


    busy until they were panting and lying limply beside each other.


    “This time I missed you more.” She said against his naked body, stroking his chest.


    “I wish I could stay here, my love.” He held her face in his hands and kissed her lips,


    “but money also matters.” ‘I never let him take my responsibility or the baby’s


    responsibility. He never spent a dime on gynecologist visits. Maybe Sandy was right.


    He isn’t interested in the baby.’ She thought to herself.


    “What are you thinking love?” he nudged her a little.


    “Nothing.” She didn’t want to tell him that she was almost jobless now, with nothing to


    support, “I was just thinking about how long you will stay this time.”


    For thest two or three visits he had been staying hardly for one day making her


    crave him even more.


    He turned her sheet-dded body towards him and kissed her lips with a passion that


    made her want more.


    “Something is bothering you, my love. What is it? Or you don’t trust me?” “No!” she


    held his wrist near her face and turned her head to kiss it, “I…” she didn’t want to tell


    him what Sandy said about him being irresponsible.


    “On yourst visit, I told you that I will be going for an ultrasound. You never asked me


    about the gender.” “Well!” he straightened beside her and took her in his arms,


    making her topple over him, “That’s because I love you. And it doesn’t matter anymore


    if it’s a boy or a girl.”


    She wanted to tell him that it was a girl. And she was nning to give her the name


    Ashley. Ash from Ashton’s name and ley from her own name. Leigh!


    Should she talk to him about some contribution? She was living in a rented ce, and


    she needed money to take care of the bills. Sandy was still ready to help her except


    for the delivery charges.


    Before she could say anything, he leaned aside and stretched his hand to pick up


    something from the floor. It was a ck-colored, square-shaped bag made of leather.


    “What is it?” she asked him when he gave it to her.


    “See for yourself.” He said with a smile. Frowning at him she took the bag and started


    opening the zip. After peeking inside, she gasped and covered her mouth with her


    hand.


    In her shocked state, she raised her eyes to him and found him wiggling his brows at


    her.


    “Howe … I mean. This seems a lot of money!” she remarked and took out the


    heavy stacks of bills ced inside.


    “How did you manage it, Ashton?” “It’s from my savings,” he moved her hair away


    from her forehead, “Plus I sold my chain.”


    A little taken aback, she realized he was no more wearing his gold chain around his


    neck.


    “But Ashton. It was something yourte father gave you. You used to cherish it a lot.”


    “Yeah. I know.” He hugged her tightly to him, “But nothing is as precious as you, love.”


    “B…But you didn’t need to do this.” She said all teary-eyed.


    “Why not? What do you think? If I am living away from you that doesn’t mean I am not


    ready to take responsibility for you or my child. I love you.


    This child is my responsibility too, Leigh.” “Oh, Ashton.” Leigh circled her arms around


    his neck and started crying. She wanted to meet Sandy and tell her that Ashton was


    not what she used to think.


    Sandy tried to nt doubts in Leigh’s mind so it was better if Leigh would not join back


    the furniture shop after delivering the baby.


    That evening they again made love. He whispered in her ear how much he loved her.


    How she and the baby had be the bane of his existence. 1


    The next morning when she got up, she was disappointed to see him getting ready to


    leave.


    “You must stay more,” sheined, “I miss you. Doctor says I need to stay


    happy.” “My love,” he said while buttoning up his shirt, “I am away from you so that I


    can earn more for my family. I have started to hunt for a cheaper house so that we


    can live together.” “Really?” This visit of Ashton was full of surprises. She never knew


    that the baby could bring them closer.


    “Yes. I need to make more money to pay hospital bills too.” She wanted to tell him that


    the money, he gave herst night was more than enough. They both could easily


    sustain that amount for one year.


    “Don’t do this to me, Leigh.” He sat on the edge of the bed, “I am doing it for us. For


    our child. Don’t make this harder, love. I wish I could tell you how much I miss you.


    Just can’t wait enough for the baby to join us too.”


    Kissing her head, he started wearing his shoes, “Now cheer up and give me a


    morning kiss and a goodbye kiss.”


    She smiled and kissed his lips.


    “I love you, Ashton.” “I love you too, sweetheart.”


    With a final kiss, he stepped back and left. She took out the money he gave herst


    night and started counting it.


    God! That was a lot.


    Like A LOT!


    The same day, she made a call to Sandy and told her that Ashton is taking care of all


    the hospital bills from now on. Sandy initially went quiet and then, atst,


    congratted her.


    To keep herself busy, Leigh started giving furniture fixing services to people living


    around. It used to keep her mind off so many things like Ashton and his love and his


    touch.


    Four months had passed, and Ashton didn’te to visit her again nor he tried to


    contact her. She tried calling him from the shop in her neighborhood to the garage


    where he worked and asked them to let her talk to him.


    They said he would call her back in the evening. In the evening, he did return the call.


    “Ashton. Where are you? Why are you taking so long to visit me?” At that instant, all


    she wanted to do was to return the money and ask him to stay with her.


    “Hey, love. Rx. I told you I am arranging money for…” “I don’t want money, Ashton!”


    She screamed into the receiver, “I want you. All I want is you. The eighth month is


    about to end, Ashton. Why are you leaving me alone? I am scared. I don’t know a


    thing about babies and pregnancy. Please, Ashton.”


    When he stayed quiet, she screamed again, “Say something!” “Honey!” he said coolly,


    “I think you need to cool down first. I will call you again.” “B…But Ashton…” he had


    disconnected the call. Holding the receiver, she started crying.


    “Leigh?” the shopkeeper who used to allow her to use his phone rushed towards her,


    “Why are you crying?”


    Wiping her cheeks, she shook her head and headed to her apartment which was just


    one block away. She was on friendly terms with the shopkeeper, but she didn’t want to


    talk ormunicate with anyone except Ashton.


    “Did Ashton call?” she was again at the shop right after one hour. Due to the


    customers’ influx, the man behind the counter just shook his head.


    Thoroughly disappointed, she returned but was back, right after one hour. Ashton


    didn’t call that day. And then no call the next day. And the next day also passed


    without any call.


    By now she had started getting worried.


    “I shouldn’t have made him upset. I screamed at him on call. In front of that


    shopkeeper. I should have had a little patience.” She was bbering in front of Sandy


    who was consoling her.


    “Girl! Are you crazy? How much patience do you need at this stage?” she pointed to


    her swollen belly, “Do you know his address?”


    Leigh bobbed her head and kept cleaning the tears from her cheeks.


    Sandy rolled her eyes, “Ok. Don’t be upset. Do you know his shop address?”


    Leigh raised her face at that. Yes, she knew it. It must be somewhere ced in her


    diary.


    That evening Sandy apanied her to her apartment.


    “He must be in trouble, Sandy. I never told him about the job difficulty and hospital


    bills, but he gave me a handsome amount to bear it.” “He has got this much money


    and still he decided to give it to you instead of taking you with him. Why throw this


    money at you? You need him! Not this money!” Sandy said sternly and then blew a


    sigh when she saw Leigh looking down silently.


    “Oh, damn! Leigh!” Sandy held her shoulders and made her sit on a chair, “I think go


    and meet him at the shop. He might be there.” “What will I do after meeting him?”


    Sandy face palmed when Leigh asked her the question innocently.


    “Girl! Just say sorry. Meet him. Tell him it’s yourst month and thene back. You


    have got the money. It’s worth the try. If he is sincere then he will apany you


    here. He should be beside his daughter’s mommy.”


    Sandy did have a point. The very next morning, Leigh packed a small bag and caught


    a bus to go to the suburbs of Gale where Ashton used to work.


    It was a three-hour route.


    Carrying the address, she reached the shop where he worked.


    “Hello, sir!” she smiled at the shop owner and showed him the address.


    “Yes, ma’am. This is us.” He came to her while wiping his hands, “How can I help


    you?” “Sir. I am looking for Ashton.” “Ashton?” The man was trying to remember, “Any


    sir names?”


    What a fool she was! She never asked his sir name.


    “H…he works here. In this garage.” “We don’t have any worker by the name of


    Ashton.” How was that possible? She had been calling him here and whenever he


    used to call her, the same number used to appear on the screen.


    Just then something clicked her mind. She extracted a blurred picture of him from her


    bag. It got blurred because he got annoyed and tried to turn away his head. He never


    liked clicking pictures with her.


    “Did he evere here?” she showed the picture with those hopeful green eyes.


    Knitting his brows, he kept looking at the picture and then atst looked at her.


    “Who is he, ma’am? I mean, is he your rtive?” she kept staring back and nodded


    her head slowly. Man’s eyes dipped down to her swollen belly.


    “He doesn’t work for us. But he does visit us to make calls. Or sometimes he used to


    wait for someone’s calls.” He scribbled something on a piece of paper and stretched


    his hand, “I guess you are the one who used to call here to talk to him. Here. This is


    his address.” When she got the paper, she crumbled it in her fist.


    “Thank you.” “Don’t worry, kid. I have seen him several times near this house. So,


    without telling him, I noted his address.” The man tapped his temple with a proud grin.


    Leigh held the paper tightly and turned back to look for the address in the twin city.
