Déja Vú

Chapter 26

Ashton
It was as if the walls had caved in on me.

"Wha-"

I did not understand.

She was in jail right?

And she had been barely been there for two weeks?

So who on earth attacked her?

"Ashton, brother,are you still there?" Noah drags me out of my thoughts, and at that moment,I realised I was now on the floor.

"Y-yes, what happened?"

"Can you come down to LA?, It's a long story."

"I'm on the first flight out."

While Josiah and I were on the plane,Noah filled us in on Leora's attack.

Now we were all sure somebody was really behind this.

Apparently an inmate had smothered her with a pillow and slit her wrist, but she miraculously survived.

Noah informed Lee, who got Londyn, Kathani and the rest of the family informed. And they were all waiting for her at her house in Malibu.

Since our relationship was under wraps,I could not go get her myself, so I bought some new cloths from a store, because i did not want to invade her privacy by entering her room and sent them to her through Noah, who went to get her, waiting for them at a safe distance from the station.

"Dear God, I hope she is alright"

Leora

"Thank you" I nod to the officer who gave me my belongings as Noah waited for me.

Apparently Ashton had given him clothes for me, so I did not have to wear my old clothes.

I was exhausted.

"Are you okay?" Noah immediately asked me as I left the other side of the counter,after completing all formalities.

But I could not talk.

I wanted to, I wanted to tell him I was okay, but I could not.

Because everything was not okay.

Someone tried to kill me.

And if not for the officer on duty that day, she would have gotten away with it too.

And now i was scarred on both wrists, and my throat was dry and sore.

And I did not even have it in me to say a word.

Noah seemed to understand as he did not ask me any more questions and we just kept walking.

By the time we got outside,the media were everywhere.

Of course, everyone wanted to know how and why one of the top actresses and CEO'S in the States killed somebody.

Noah gives me a pair of sunglasses which I wear and guides me through the crowd.

I could not react. I could not smile or defend myself... I could not do nothing.

I just kept walking.

Noah helps me into his car and drives off, before stopping at a familiar car.

It was a black Bentley Bentayga S.

Ashton's Bentley Bentayga S.

Noah helps me out of the car as Ashton come out of his,his eyes never leaving me.

"Leora,thank God you're alive" He rushed uo to me,holding my shoulders.

"Are you okay? Do you-"

At that moment it did not matter the circumstances of our marriage or whatever feelings we did or did not have for each other.
