Reborn to redeem

Ashton Martin

Never in his both his lives Bryan had felt such extreme feeling of excitement, he was extremely nervous and extremely happy at the same time, his hands were sweating and his heart was beating so fast that it would break his ribcage and come out .

But he felt that everything just stopped when the door opened and a young man walked in, Bryan stopped breathing , his heart stopped beating and the time just Froze.

His eyes were fixed on that man with beautiful black eyes and a tall perfect body , he was wearing a casual shirt of dark blue color with white buttons , the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up revealing his slender arms , he was wearing a light blue jeans which looked with good with his shirt ;his clothes looked very good with his fair skin , his brown hairs were perfectly styled, making him look a perfect handsome gentleman.

Bryan gulped and took a sip of water , he calmed himself , thinking that he should  behave normally , he should not do anything stupid at all. He took a deep breathe and clenched his fist under the table , he can't let these two see any sort of abnormality in him.

The first thing that Ashton saw after entering the office was Amber sitting on the chair comfortably while Bryan was looking at him , both them didn't look like they had a fight or were going to rip each other's head , which shocked Ashton.

With Amber's temper and Bryan's judgemental personality these two would always end up fighting with each other , to the point where others have to come between them and Amber has the tendency to become violent when she is provoked to rage , so when Amber called him and told him to come upstairs he thought that maybe she had a fight with Bryan again so he rushed here but when he reached here everything seemed.....normal.

"come have a seat" Amber said with her same expressionless face as she casually pulled put a chair

Ashton just stood there quietly , he felt that something was off , what the hell these two talked about

Seeing that Ashton was confused Bryan smiled and said "come on have a seat"

Now Ashton's eyes widen , did Bryan just smiled at him and not only that he politely asked him to sit how is that possible and why was his eyes so gentle .

Ashton looked at Amber he thought that Amber might have hit Bryan on the head that's why he became like this .

Amber seemed to have heard what he was thinking so she rolled her eyes "I didn't do anything okay, now come and sit we have something important to talk about ."

After hearing Ashton finally came and sat down in the chair beside Amber "so what is that you guys talked about " Ashton asked with a smile

Now this was the difference between Ashton and Amber, Amber is a highly anti social person she doesn't like to talk much , or interact with others, she doesn't like to go out much or mingle with people she is also very violent and short tempered , she likes to work from behind the scenes in the dark and likes to attack people from behind , she doesn't like to follow rules and principles she always does what she wants never thinking much about the consequences she never thinks twice before taking actions

Ashton on the other hand in opposite of Amber , he is cunning and manipulative , most of the deals and other matters which involve a face to face chit chat is done by him, he like to smile often but his smiles are not genuine on the other hand Amber who doesn't smile much but when she does its genuine, he likes to mingle with the crowd and get to know others and make friends to increase his connections , he attends all the public gatherings and parties on the behalf of Malbert corporation . He is the face of the corporations , people often mistakes him as a kind and soft person because of his smile and soft spoken manner but in reality he is just as cruel as Amber.

Both Ashton and Amber are perfect partners in crime.

When asked this question Amber just turned to Bryan signaling him to explain because she was to lazy to speak. So Bryan calmly explained Ashton everything , there was a smile on his face the entire time he was speaking ; he couldn't control his smile because he was to happy to be finally able to see Ashton and talk to him , at this point all Bryan wanted was too just pull Ashton onto his lap and hug him tightly then kiss him to death, but he can't at least not now.

Ashton who was already feeling quiet shocked and awkward due to Bryan's such 'gentlemen' like behavior felt even more shocked after Bryan told him everything he told to Amber , after Bryan was done Ashton silently looked at Amber.

Ashton knew that Amber went through a lot when she heard the news about Aron's accident at that time it took her at least five months to accept Aron's death and now how she must be feeling to know that Aron was alive . Ashton was happy for his friend but at the same time he was worried for Amber , Amber's mental health had always been a bit unstable so Ashton didn't wanted her to take stress or completely exhaust herself since it was not good for her health.

Ashton grabbed her had and gave it a gentle squeeze "if what you said is really true then we are going to put every resource we have in use to look for Aron"

"thanks a lot " Bryan said

The room became quiet for a moment before Bryan broke the silence "okay so lets keep this aside , and lets talk about business I heard that you guys are gonna make a deal with the Brown corporation"

"that has nothing to do with you " Amber said

" cancel that and make a deal with Shaw's " Bryan said

Ashton smiled "fine if you offer better benefits than the Brown's then we'll definitely consider"

"But wait how do you know this we haven't finalized anything let alone approached any company , although we were considering 'The Browns' but it was still not finalized , I would like to know from where did you heard this" Amber asked

Bryan smirked "As I said earlier I know a lot of things about you guys"

Amber suddenly smile which was not a smile , she felt really angry just now "Bryan Shaw have you planted Spies in my company" she asked with gritted teeth

"if I had really planted spies in your company then do you think they would be able to escape from your eyes " Bryan asked that smile was still on his face'

"then did you see all this in a f*****g dream or what!!!!!!"

Bryan gasped "oh my god how did you find out"

Amber felt so irritated just now because of that smile she just wanted to grab Bryan's head and bang it against the table. she quickly took out her phone and dialed her assistants number "check the profiles and do a background check of all the employs and whoever seems suspicious fire him or her immediately" she said and then hung up the phone

Ashton who was calm all this time suddenly laughed , seeing Ashton smile Bryan's heart melted and he also smiled subconsciously "I don't know how did you find out but as long as you don't pose a threat to us I won't take any actions now lets talk about business so tell me what you have to offer"

After they were done on their discussion Ashton finally said "fine then you we agree to work with you  . morning I will come again with the contract and after the legal procedure is done , one employ from my company with his team mated will join your company for a temporary period of time"

"I have a request"

"what is it" Ashton asked

"I want you to join the company .I cannot allow any one else"

"But Bryan-"

Before Bryan could say anything Amber interrupted him "there is no problem in that we'll once again discuss this once we go home.....we'll take our leave now " Amber said and stood up and walked straight out of the door.

"take care Bryan and go home safely good night" Ashton said

"good night Ashton....and please consider my request" Bryan said

Ashton nodded and followed Amber.

As soon as the two left Bryan leaned back on his chair and heaved a sigh , he closed his eyes and then laughed , he felt really happy so happy that he wanted to cry, this feels really unreal , Ashton was finally here he was no longer his imagination or dream, he really wanted to touch Ashton and wrap him in his arms and never let go but he had to wait for the right time and this was really a torture for him.

Amber and Ashton were sitting in their car quietly  , Amber sat on the passenger seat while Ashton drove the car.

"Why did you agree" Ashton asked

"weren't you looking for an opportunity to get close to him"

"yeah but this is too sudden"

"what do you mean sudden? you have been waiting for two years for this opportunity now that he himself approached you will just let this opportunity go? are you a fool?"

"I know this is a good chance but-"

"No Buts Ashton you won't get this chance in future; you should get close to him and observe him closely if you think that he is worthy of your trust then you can give him back what belongs to him and if he is not then you can just come back and things will go back to the way they were before ..besides he has been your crush for such a long time why don't you take this opportunity to bend him"

Amber really wanted to tell him what Bryan had told her about how he loved Ashton , but she didn't believe it ; and Ashton is also not going to believe it; he would just think that Bryan was joking.

Ashton laughed at the last statement " somethings can never be real Amber, a perfect man like him is a dream of many women out there , plus there are many women out there much more capable than me worthy of being by his side , and also he also needs heirs to continue his bloodline I can't give him that"

"Surrogacy exists buddy"

"Yeah but what will others say and what about his repute-"

"Ashton you are just giving excuses now , if you like him then why can't you fight for your love , you haven't even tried; have you ever told him how you feel"

Ashton shook his head "That look of disgust when he sees me  is enough for me to know what he thinks of me , and Amber I have been rejected and abandoned by everyone I knew after I came out of closet my family threw me out, and  my so called  friends turned their backs on me; I can't handle rejection anymore, coming on terms with my sexuality was a huge step for me and being me is already a challenge so now I don't want any issues especially love issues since it will not only affect me but also others  around me ."

Amber sighed and closed her eyes while Ashton quietly drove towards his home.
