Home.

Ashley is not used to constantly crying. In fact she hates crying & deems crying as a sign of weakness. For the few hours being with Jason has made her life hell. Ashley decided she seriously needed to do something about it.

Ashley had woken up from her sleep the hours after Jason had slapped her. Ashley spend  the entire morning trying to find for her phone. Finally she found her phone which was in the dumpster. She knew it had to be Jason's work only. Ashley tried to on her phone & by Gods grace it was still working. Ashley desperately tried to call her big boss (Mr. Matt). She managed to get Mr. Matt (who was in the office at that time) on the phone & she asked him if he could come immediately to Jason's apartment as the front door was locked & she tried to find the keys & they were found no where. Mr. Matt said he will come immediately because he sensed something amiss from her voice & absence from work recently.

Mr. Matt told Linda to cancel all meetings & postpone them to another day. He walked out of his office & building then got into the car & in the car he phones Jason. He is heading to Jason's apartment to meet with Ashley. Mr. Matt  is the only second person (apart from Jason) who has the house & spare keys to Jason's apartment.

(Jason was no where to be found (in the apartment) from the last time with the incident of his slapping Ashley.)

Mr. Matt phoned Jason to know where his whereabouts were as he didn't want to cause a scene with his son & also he knew that Jason would lie if he needed to in case of anything.

Mr. Matt: Hello Jason, where are you?

Jason: I'm at the bar.

Mr. Matt: Why are you there at this hour?

Jason: Nothing dad. Anything?

Mr. Matt: Yes, I wanted to know how long will you not be coming to the office. There is things to be done in the office & I need you finish the work off.

Jason: Not today dad. I'm not in the mood.

Mr. Matt: Fine not to day, when & what time will you be home?

Jason: I'll be here for a while.

Mr. Matt: While means how long?

Jason: Few hours dad.

Mr. Matt: You make me worry about you a lot. Take care & I will send Brian (Mr. Matt's personal driver) over to drop you home, is that okay with you?

Jason: Fine with me dad. Also dad tell him I'm at my usual bar. He knows.

Mr. Matt: Fine, take care.

Mr. Matt  hanged up the phone & phoned Brian & told him the place & details.

Mr. Matt  reaches Jason's apartment & tells the driver to park at the side of the building then he can get through in & out of the secret private lift which only Mr. Matt knows about due to personal reasons. Matt goes into that secret lift & reaches Jason's apartment in a matter of minutes. Mr. Matt  takes out keys but before that rings the door bell. Ashley jumps out of bed then runs to the door she knows it's Mr. Matt because Jason doesn't have a habit of ringing doorbells. Matt  unlocks the door from outside & Ashley smiles when she sees her big boss. Unknown to her the first thing that Matt noticed about her was the slap. She one side was swollen as well, the slap was that bad.

Ashley locks the door as Mr. Matt enters the front door.

Ashley: Jason's not here & I don't know where he is.

Mr. Matt: He's at the bar. He won't be here for a few hours. Now tell me what is the urgency?

Ashley: Jason is the problem.

Mr. Matt walked towards Ashley, turned her face to the right & saw the red hand print on her face (Ashley is dark skinned but not too dark for the slap not to show). Her cheek was also swollen. Mr. Mr. Matt then takes his phone from his side pocket & phones his butler to come to Jason's apartment at once & also to bring help along as well. Then he hangs up the phone.

Mr. Matt: Why are you at this place & not your own?

Ashley: Jason suddenly appeared in my apartment after going missing for a week then drugged me & brought me here.

Mr. Matt: Fine, go to the room & find your belongings & start packing. Also you don't mind going back to India do you?

Ashley: It's fine with me but I have my salary, things in my old apartment, etc.

Mr. Matt: Fine, I will send my men to clear everything of yours & sent it to you in the plane as you will be taking my private plane back to India. I will do the necessary arrangements all you do is get your passport & things.

Ashley: I couldn't find my passport & other things as well because I don't know what Jason has done to or with my things.

Mr. Matt knew that Jason had put it in the safe & went straight to the safe. He is the only person apart from Jason who knows the password. Mr. Matt then opened the safe & found the passport & other things belonging to Ashley. After taking all of Ashley's things he walked back to the hall to give it all back to Ashley. Ashley then went to pack all of her things.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Mr. Matt told Ashley to continue packing as she ran from the bedroom to open the door. Ashley then did as she was told. Mr. Matt went to open the door & told his butler & men to find & help Ashley pack her things then take her to the airport where his plane was, fill the plane up & fly to her home in India.

Before Ashley left the building, Mr. Matt told her that she will have her salary & other payment dues sent to her as written in the agreement (before she joined the job) as in case such a thing was to happen.

Ashley's things were packed, then she had a change of clothes then was driven to the airport & the next night she was back home. Ashley checked in with immigration then proceeded to go her home but she was told that there would be a Mr. Shiva who would drop Ashley home to make sure she was safe home. Despite being jet lagged Ashley was in no mood to fight this one off as it was one of Mr. Matt's arrangements with her.

The previous day Mr. Matt had called Ashley's parents & told her that she was back home as her work had finished but it was a lie that Mr. Matt didn't like telling but had no choice as his son was hurting Ashley.

Ashley knocked on her house door & was greeted by her beloved family. Ashley was never more happier in her life than now.
