Unable to attend the old lady's birthday banquet meant Ashley wouldn't see Kolton, and her grandmother's surgery would be in jeopardy.
As for Diego, Ashley felt uneasy. Sophia and Emily had always seen her as a thorn in their side. If she wanted Diego to perform the surgery on her grandmother, who knew how many more obstacles they would create?
Ashley bit her lip and glanced back at the man sleeping soundly on the bed.
The room was pitch dark and completely silent. He was sleeping peacefully, while his words had cast her into the depths of despair.
Ashley rubbed her forehead, pondering what to do. She had to come up with a plan.
Suddenly, she remembered that someone had delivered a red invitation to Imogene earlier that day. It was odd that even family members needed an invitation to attend the banquet.
