Chapter 54

Selena's POV

Ever since Asher told me about the conversation with his brother, I had beaten myself up about everything. Because of my stupid pride and the unnecessary anger, I jumped into marriage with an asshole. But, Asher had been treating me well which made it even more difficult to hate him.
