    Opposites – (Chapter: 22)

     

    "Spencer knows my feelings," Paula said flatly. "They’re no concern of yours."

    "Whatever concerns Spencer concerns me."

     

    "So…" Paula picked up a slim gold pen from the desk and carefully examined it. "We’re back to that."

     

    "Yes, we are."

     

    "If you’ve decided to resume your relationship with Spencer, it’s your business, Ashley." She flung the pen back onto the desk. "And it’s my business if I don’t."

     

    "For God’s sake, Paula," Ashley began heatedly, "she’s your daughter. You can’t turn your back on your own child."

     

    "Like mother, like daughter," Paula murmured.

     

    "What the hell does that mean?" Frustrated, Ashley rose to pace, dragging the phone with her.

     

    "Spencer wiped her child out of existence. I’ve done the same."

     

    All movement stopped. Ashley felt something freeze in her as her knuckles turned white on the receiver. "What child?"

     

    "She turned her back on everything I taught her," Paula went on, not hearing Ashley’s harshly whispered question. "The daughter I knew couldn’t have done it." The words, and the anger that accompanied them, had been held in for years. Now they came bursting out. "I tried to understand why she married that pale excuse for a man, even tried to resign myself to her throwing away her career. But some things I won’t forgive. If the life she chose to live was worth the price of my grandchild, she’s welcome to it." Enraged at letting her feelings pour out so openly, Paula slammed down the receiver.

     

    Three thousand miles away Ashley stood, staring at nothing. With infinite care she placed the phone back on the table. Too many thoughts were whirling in her head, too many questions and half-answers. She had to think, to take her time. Silently she walked back into the bedroom and dressed. She wanted to shake Spencer awake and demand an explanation; she wanted to wait until she had a grip on herself. Torn, Ashley sat on a chair and stared at the still form in the bed. Spencer slept so peacefully, her quiet breathing hardly stirred the air.

     

    A child? Spencer’s child? But there was no child, Ashley reasoned. If Lord and Lady Middleton had produced an offspring, there would have been some mention of it in the press. An heir was never kept secret. Dragging a hand through her hair, Ashley shifted. Besides, she reasoned, if Spencer had had a child, where was it? Struggling to overcome the jealousy at imagining Spencer’s bearing another man’s child, Ashley went over her conversation with Paula Carlin again.

    Comments

    1. I’m surprised no one has left a comment for this story. I started reading this story a while ago, on fanfiction.net, and then you stopped posting it. I just got caught up on here and felt I should comment. Man, that was an intense chapter, damn Paula, telling other people’s business. I don’t remember, but didn’t Spencer have a miscarriage or something? Ashley has the right to be mad though, Spencer cheated on her with her ex. Man, I can’t wait for the next batch of updates. Please update soon.
