My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 66

I went to their house in my car, making sure Vincent isn't around. I rang the doorbell.

"Chris?" Ash opened the door and I just went inside and she closed it. "What are you doing here?"

"We have to do it now!"

"What? No!"

"Think clearly, Ash. He was behaving weirdly. We need to do this now so that we can know the truth"

"Yeah... uh wait. How do you know he was behaving weirdly?"

"Uh... well..." I stuttered.

"Uh... he set it up to take care that Vincent doesn't hurt you!"

I smiled at her. She has learned really well. "Yeah, correct"

"O...kay" Ash looked quite suspicious. "Well, anyway... are you sure this is the correct time?"

"Yes, it is," I replied.

"Do you think the same?" Ash asked Lara, to which she nodded yes.

"okay" she sighed. "See, whatever, you must stay away from me"

"Yeah but... for the acting part, we can't be away"

she sighed loudly. "ugh! okay!"

I smiled. This is the moment I have been waiting for. We will be together, and Vincent will burn in jealousy and 'betrayal'. Oh my, I am so excited!

Well, I never planned for him to get hurt, but apparently, he is the one standing between us, so I have no other way.

"okay, then... What should we do?" she asked me. I took her hand.

"Ms. Lara, please stay here and if Vincent comes and asks for Ash, tell him that she found a new lover"

"WHAT" Ash got her out of my grip. "That will make me look bad!"

"No, it won't. because after that, she will tell him to come meet me, where we will force the truth out of him, okay?"

She groaned. "Uhh! I am not having a good feeling about this"

"Doesn't matter, come on!"

She nodded and I took her hand. I shared a last glance with Lara to make sure everything is fine, and then took off with Ash. 

We went out and then in my car. I know this will hurt Vincent a lot more than anything; after all, I know about his past.

Never mind, this is crazy. It is really crazy to believe that Ash is with me in this. I have to admit, my plan is amazing!

I started driving at a steady pace. She was sitting beside me.

"Where are we going anyway?"

"To my house" I looked at the front and answered.

"Oh..." 

"What happened?" I asked her, as she looked sad. I knew exactly what the reason was, but I wanted to see her response.

"Nothing... uh... just headache"

I pulled her head closer and then rested it on my chest. "It is gonna be alright, I am here"

"Hm" she whispered and scooted closer.

Maybe this could mean something.

Vincent

I was going crazy after what Lara said. I couldn't believe that thought even crossed Ashy's mind. I mean, we were past this, weren't we?

I started going to my base because it was difficult to stick around while this was happening. As I drove, I remembered that I left abruptly and maybe she would be wondering why I did so. I should have said something that made sense but I was completely fucked up at that instant. It was like all the trust suddenly vanished.

I decided to go back and tell her. She would worry about nothing.

I reached my house and got out. I sighed. it is okay, everything will sort out as it always has.

I rang the doorbell and Lara opened the door. "Hey Lara"

"Hey Vincent... uh..."

"Where's Ashy?"

"She, uh..." she sighed. "Well, do you want me to be honest?"
