Ashley had been married to Chase Sterling for eight years but he was still cold to her. Ashley, however, put up with that and did everything she could to make him happy. She believed that she could melt his icy heart. But the ice didn’t melt; instead, it cracked open to reveal a raging inferno of infatuation for another woman someone Chase fell in love with at the first sight.
Despite everything, Ashley clung to their marriage. On her birthday, she flew all the way abroad to find him and her son, Sam. But Chase took their son to visit that woman, leaving her alone in the empty mansion. That was when her heart finally shattered.
Watching Sam, whom she had carried for ten months, happily call another woman Mommy, Ashley didn’t even shed a tear. She drafted the divorce papers, relinquished custody, and left without hesitation. She would wait out the divorce proceedings and never care about them anymore.
