Chapter 48
Ashley's POV
'Yesterday night the FBI caught the murder of Alicia Paleto who was found dead at the hotel Kick six months ago. Alex Karofski, her boyfriend of that time, although there were accusations that he was behind the crime six months ago was let free. The police said that he had an alibi. Recorded message shows that he was the one who committed the murder. It was Ashley Davies, his next victim who helped the FBI to catch him. Alex Karofski told the police that he had help from the inside only to make his sentence less. Detective Aiden Dennison who was the one that investigated the case, was the one who was giving the information to Karofski. Detective Dennison is already off service. Both their cases will go in court next week on the 28th of March. And now back to the world news.. President Sarcozi..'
I turned of the volume once I heard what I was waiting to hear for weeks now. Everything was finished. Karofski and Dennison would go in jail for a long time. I still couldn't believe how the people who vowed to protect us at the end are the ones who kill, deceive or I don't know what else. I trusted Dennison. He was supposed to help us. And he didn't do what he was supposed to. No. He was a tipped off cop. When detective Jones found out she came right away at our apartment to tell me how sorry she was and that she didn't know. How could she? He was so perfect from the outside that no one could know..
"Ash.. Are you ok?"
"I am perfect. Now we just need to go at the court next week and finish one and for all"
"My dad called. Emma miss us.."
"And I miss my baby girl so much.. Do you think we could go in New York for some days?"
"I don't think why we couldn't"
"Nice. Did you tell your dad that now we are engaged?"
"No. I was waiting to tell him in person.." she said and kissed my lips..
I asked her to marry me and she said yes. Only that I didn't buy her a ring yet. And I needed to find something special. Something that it would be her..
"I still need to buy you a ring.."
"You don't need to buy me anything.. I am happy to know that you want me to be your wife."
"Well baby. An engagement is nothing without a ring. Don't you think? Wait.."
I got up from our couch and walked to our kitchen. I was looking at something that would be romantic and looked like a ring.. Of course nothing was romantic but I wanted to giver her something.. I found those clips you use for food bags.. Spencer and I had the same fingers pretty much.. So I made it to fit my finger, I cut the edge with a scissor and came back to the couch.. I sat right next to her and asked the question again..
"Spencer Carlin. I love you like I never loved anyone before. Could you please be mine?"
Once she saw what I was giving to her she smiled but she gave me her hand to put the fake ring on her finger..
"Yes Ms Davies. I will be yours" we leaned close to each other till our foreheads were touching.. I was holding the hand that already had the symbol of my love.. I kissed her nose and told her for one more time this day how much I loved her..
Spencer called Arthur again and told him that we were planning to come in New York. Needless to say that he was ecstatic.. He was a good man, a good father and a good grandfather to Emma. I was happy that she had a man figure in her life like Arthur.
"Ok. I talked with dad. He told me that he is going to send us the tickets. I told him that we could go tomorrow. Is that ok?"
"It's perfect.. Can't wait to see our little one"
We started to pack our things and once we finished I just wanted to go for a walk to the park. I missed doing that. And I missed being with Spencer. Just the two of us..
"Our year was somehow dramatic don't you think?"
"Dramatic? Nah.. It was another day in our life"
"But we are still here together.."
"I am not planning to leave you. I think the day you fell on me with your car was one of the best. Because besides the bad things I get to know you. I get to fall in love with you and start a beautiful family like the one I lost with you.. So.. yeah, I don't think it was so dramatic.."
"You, my fiancée, have a way with words"
"I am just that talented.. That's all"
"Yes, you are"
We sat at the park for a couple of hours till it was chilly and I was cold. I don't know how Spencer wasn't. We walked back to our apartment when we were surprised by a lot of reporters waiting for us outside..
"Ms Davies, what you have to say for all this?"
"Ms Davies, how FBI knew about all that?"
"Ms Davies, Alex Karofski is sentenced in jail for a life time. What you have to say?"
Questions after questions. I felt like I was drowning in a pool of microphones and cameras..
"Ms Davies has nothing to say. Everything will go by the law. Alex Karofski got what he deserved. No more comments. Thank you"
My hero. My Spencer. Always knowing what I was feeling and when I needed her more than anything. It was a good thing that she was a bad ass lawyer as well..
Once we got inside our apartment I closed the door and stayed there on my back for a few seconds..
"Sweetie. Are you ok?"
"Yes. At least I think so. Thank you Spence"
"I had to protect my fiancée. That's my job you know. To make you happy and protect you from anything bad.."
"And what my job will be then?"
"Hmm.. Make love to me every night?"
"I think I can do that.."
Our night was magical. I don't know why but making love to her as an engaged couple was different. A good different though.. After we made love, we laid on each other arms and fell asleep. We wouldn't wake up till 10am next morning. Our flight to New York was at 2pm.. So we had time..
"Ash.. Did you take your tooth brush?"
"Yes Spence"
"Did you take your flip flops?"
"Yes Spence"
"Don't forget your charger for your phone"
"I am sure that if I will there will be a place to buy one"
"Ok.. I think we are ready"
"Are you sure? You don't want to triple check everything before we leave?"
"You are being silly. Just so you know.."
"Maybe.. Come on. The taxi is waiting downstairs"
The flight to New York was relaxing. It was a short trip and when we landed Arthur and Emma were waiting for us at the airport. Once she saw me and Spencer she run to our arms kissing us both.
"Mommy, momma. You came. You came. I missed you"
"We missed you too baby girl. Were you good for grandpa?"
"Yes. Grandpa tell them"
"She was a princess. Actually even your mother liked her"
"What? Paula Carlin?"
"That's what I thought. But the moment this little one stepped her foot inside it was a Paula I couldn't recognize. I am still surprised"
"My mother, liked someone?"
"Well.. This little one over here is hard not to love.. She has her ways"
"Like her mother" Spencer said while looking at me..
"I guess we have our ways princess, eh?"
"Yes mommy"
"So lets go girls. I have the car parked outside"
Last time we came here I didn't see Paula and I didn't go to their home. This time though Arthur insisted for us to stay with them. The house was a mansion. It could fit like 5 families. His exact words were 'This house was cold for a long time now. It needs people'
Paula wasn't a person I liked. The only one time that I saw her she wanted to pay me money to leave Spencer alone. So no.. I didn't like her and from what Spencer told me about her it didn't make it any easier. Listening to Arthur telling us that she loved Emma, well.. it was kind of hard to understand.. Especially when she didn't want to meet us at all..
"Go inside and I am going to bring your things"
"Arthur I don't know.. Maybe if we could wait for you.."
"Ashley.. Go inside.. Paula doesn't bite.. Not that much.. And you have Spencer"
"Are you sure she is ok with us staying here?"
"This is my house as well. If she doesn't like it she can go and stay somewhere else for the night.. Now, please.. Take the little one inside and I'll come to find you"
"Ok.. Spencer?"
"Yes baby?"
"Will you protect me from your mother?"
"Aww.. Yes, I will protect you from the boogie man"
It will be an interesting, interesting night and weekend.. An interesting weekend with Paula Carlin..
