First of all, I want to thank all of you guys for your support and enthusiasm! I love you guys <3

Second, I now have a joint account with the lovely arabellamonroe . I'm sure you're heard of her book 'Rosy Cheeks'. The account is Ruebella if you want to check it out.

The phone rang, and when Ashley saw who it was, she had no choice but to pick up.

"Yes Carter?"

"I hope you plan on coming to work today."

"Can I start next week?"

"Ashley, that's what you said last week."

"I know, look, things aren't the greatest at home right now-"

"I understand, I really do, Ashley, but if you don't show up at work today, you're fired."

"What?"

"Hey, I'm just telling you what my mother said. And she is your boss, so I suggest you come over now."

"Fine."

"Good. See you in-"

But she had already flung the phone across the room.

She needed this job.

She looked at her face. Most of the bruises had almost faded. Her black eye had almost faded.

She'd just tell them she'd gotten into a fight.

She smiled at herself.

Then she frowned.

Why the hell was she lying for that asshole?

Why was she hiding because of that asshole?

Why wasn't she reporting that asshole?

As she looked into the mirror, at her broken face, she knew the answer.

Because that asshole was her father.
