"Look, now will you believe what i said?" Chloe asked with hope as her fingers hovered over the pictures she shared with Asher back when they were dating.

Nina and Theo looked at their son, who was looking at the album with a complex look on his face. Its evident that he is not pleased to see this album at that time.

Neither Theo nor Nina knows what happened between Asher and Chloe. All they know is that, they met Aria as his fiance, and he seemed happy with Aria too. Nina vaguely remembered how Asher came home alone on the day when he was supposed to introduce his fiance to them. How torn and agitated he was. Nina remembered being worried for a moment before he introduced Aria.

Agatha kept looking at the pictures in a daze. When no one said a word, Asher decided to step in and clarify the situation.

"Grandma.." he opened his mouth to tell Agatha that these pictures are true but he is with Aria now. But Agatha stopped him.

"Don't" her tone firm but soft. She is telling him not

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   Explain

    After Chloe was kicked out by Agatha, the tension that she left behind was palpable. No one said a word, but it's very clear that they want to hear what happened. Aria helped Agatha to sit back down on the couch, while Theo slumped heavily on another couch feeling exhausted by the drama created by Chloe. Nina was looking troubled. She is thinking if what Chloe said is true, then where Asher and Aria's relationship stands now? She is thinking if they got really married or are they pretending to please their elders. Nina really likes Aria, and even if their marriage is not real, she is ready to force Asher to get married to Aria. And that's when she understood the reason behind the lack of intimacy between Asher and Aria. Theo on the other hand was thinking the same. After thirty years, he finally understood why his mother forced him to marry Nina back then even when he clearly resisted the marriage. 'If you find a kind and sweet woman, you should never miss her' he thought. Aga

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   Misunderstanding?

    The next morning, Aria once again woke up in her husband's arms, naked. Its as if Asher wants her to feel comfortable with him intimately before making her his. He doesn't want her to make her feel uncomfortable. She almost shifted to the master bedroom. She is showering, sleeping and doing everything else with him. Initially she felt a bit different, but slowly she is getting used to the intimacy between a husband and wife. "I like this birthmark" he commented after she walked out of the shower and was about to wrap the bathrobe around her body. Its the small mole near the left breast. He traced the valley between her breasts before kissing her birthmark there. She gasped loudly, as her body started to buzz at his touch. "Go and get ready" he said casually after he is done teasing her. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. She wanted him to continue what he started. But she is too shy to ask for it. So she obediently got dressed. Today she picked up black slacks and wrap

    "Aria, you can try to fool your husband. But the truth doesn't change. We did it, and you cheated on him. Just tell him that you like me and let's end this here" Bryan had the audacity to suggest that she should leave Asher. Aria is both angry at Bryan and anxious. Asher is yet to speak. "Stop with your lies. We don't have anything between us. You are a scumbag and a leech who terrorize and torment young girls" she snapped at Bryan, who grinned with malice and a dark promise to punish her. "Like I said, it's useless to defend yourself now. Just accept and let's move on with each other" Bryan said before he got up to his feet slowly. He winced a little when the muscles in his stomach protested a little. The punches Asher delivered are hard and the pain in his stomach is excruciating. But still Bryan held his ground, too arrogant to let anyone see his pain. While Aria looked troubled, Asher is yet to say a word. He is facing away from the Aria and Bryan, so neither of them could f

    In the Cunning residence, Diego was seen standing infront of his mother who is high with meth, again. "I told you that he is a scum bag. I told you. But no one cares. That scum bag is having an affair with a teenager now. I saw it with my own eyes..." his mother, Susan Cunnings is cursing her husband Andrew who lives separately in a high rise apartment, while Diego, his wife Dena, and his mother live in the Cunning residence that now belongs to Diego who inherited it from his grandfather. "Mom, why can't you ignore him? Or better, why don't you divorce him? Why do you insist upon torturing yourself like this? Don't you know that you are slowly killing yourself?" Diego asked feeling mentally tired with his every day family drama. Andrew never cared about his family, yet Susan never agreed to divorce him and move on. "I used to love him so much. I still do. I don't know how to stop loving him" Susan whispered for the nth time. This was her reason. "Mom, please go to your

    That evening, while Asher and Aria were having a good meal in the cunning residence, Bryan was seen drinking heavily in the private room of a pub. He was downing his anger with whiskey. "Man, what's wrong with you? Slow down" Lance cautioned Bryan, who finished almost half a bottle in five minutes. Bryan refused to listen to Lance. He couldn't erase the image of Aria in Asher's arms. For as long as he could remember, he considered and believed that she is his. But the reality is far from what he assumed. "Why? She is mine. How can she marry someone else? It was MY grandmother who took pity on her and took her in. But instead of being thankful, that bitch ran away and now got married to someone else. Why?" Bryan is ranting angrily. Lance looked at him with a deep frown. "We both know why she ran away. I have been telling you not to push her too hard. But you never listened. You were so sure that she will stay with you forever, that you took her for granted. You suffocated her

    "No, we need you to strip" the stranger demanded Bryan and Lance. For a moment, they both looked taken aback by this outrageous demand. "What the hell?" Lance muttered with anger and disgust. Bryan felt a sense of deja vu wash around him when one of the strangers ripped Bryan's shirt off forcefully, leaving his torso naked. The stranger started touching Bryan, who protested and even kicked the stranger with all his might. "Don't touch me. What the hell are you doing?" Bryan snapped and crawled away from the man who just manhandled him. He didn't notice the other man who was right behind Bryan. The other stranger grabbed a fist full of Bryan's hair and pulled him up from the floor. "Ahh.." Bryan screamed with fear. Two successive punches were landed at Bryan from the stranger whom Bryan kicked. "Ahh.." Bryan groaned with pain. Lance was looking at how Bryan was handled. He didn't dare to make a sound. For some odd reason, Lance remembered the similar way how Bryan used to t

    "Ahh.." Cynthia cried out in pain and promptly passed out. "Cynthia?" the staff member who alerted Cynthia cried out in alarm and rushed to check on her. Cynthia was promptly taken away to be checked out by the doctor. After half an hour and some minimal first aid from a doctor, she gained back her conscience. "Ahh.." she clutches her head and groaned with a splitting headache. "How are you feeling now?" the doctor inquired. Cynthia couldn't concentrate on what the good doctor was asking him. Her head is like a cloud of confusion, trying to make sense of some memories she forgotten. "Cynthia? How are you feeling now?" the doctor inquired again, now with a hint of worry. Cynthia tried to make sense of what she is hearing and her memories. "There is little girl, my girl?" she murmured, remembering how she used to work in a diner and look at a little girl who used to go to school from that way everyday. "Have you regained your memories, Cynthia?" the doctor inquired. T

    That day, when Bryan was in the hospital, Andrew visited him. Bryan was in a foul mood when Andrew came. His voice is yet to come back, and he is feeling so unlike himself. He used to bully everyone for as long as he remembered. But for the first time, he was bullied and that didn't sit well with him. He is angry at those men, but he is also feeling an unfamiliar feeling of fear. The kind of fear that he never experienced before. The kind of fear that used to make him feel powerful when he used to see that in other's eyes, especially in Aria's eyes. Now, he is experiencing the same fear that kept creeping up his spine despite his efforts not to feel weak like that. That's when Andrew Cunnings walked in followed by two black men who looked similar to the men who bullied Bryan the other night. A sense of uneasy washed over Bryan just by looking at them. A doctor followed after them, who was Andrew's personal doctor. "Mr. Smith, how are doing now? I heard you had an accident last nigh

    In the City's Rehab center, Diego is waiting for his mother to say something. He came with Dena to deliver the news of Andrew's demise. Dena shared it as softly as she could, considering Susan's fragile mental condition. Even though Susan is recovering from her drug addiction at a reasonable pace, she is yet to recover completely. Just a slight push might make her tumble back into the very pit that she has been trying to crawl out of. So Diego is anxious when Susan didn't react immediately after hearing about Andrew's death. "Mom, are you alright?" he inquired with worry. Susan gave him a slight smile. She can sense that he is worried. "I don't know Diego. I am waiting for the pain of his loss set in. But so far, nothing. I mean, i used to love that man like crazy. I lost myself for that man. So I should feel sad at his loss, right?" she asked, showing her confusion. Diego looked at Dena, confused at Susan's unusual and unexpected reaction. "Mom, its ok not to feel sad for someo

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   Then who?

    "If it was not Andrew who tricked you to come here, then who?" Asher murmured mostly to himself. Diego was thinking about what Andrew was about to tell them before he passed away. "He was telling the truth. He was desperate and didn't had much time. He knows that. He was trying to tell about someone. If he didn't meet my mother in twenty years, then who texted me from her number? What is their connection with Andrew? What would they gain with my death?" Aria asked questions of her own. Diego groaned with frustration. "He left so many unanswered questions behind" he muttered angrily. While the three of them are lost in their frustration, the doctor was looking at them expectantly. He has to handover Andrew's body to his family. But at this point, Andrew has no one who is ready to shed a single tear for him. That thought made the doctor pity Andrew. "Ah, Master Cunnings, if you could please follow me, I need your signatures to finish some minor procedures before handing your f

    "Surprised, Father?" Aria inquired. Her tone dripping with resentment and anger towards the man who is her sperm donor. The word 'Father' sounded like a curse when it was used addressing Andrew. He would definitely be one of the worst father's ever. Andrew on the other hand turned pale. His already fragile heart started to thump loudly. He was so hopeful that today finally he will be able to get his heart transplant done. But thats not what happened. Instead, Aria somehow out witted him again. He knows what this means. He knows that he will not get any other chances again. This was the last before his heart gives away. But stubbornly Andrew refused to believe that he would die like this. He is on his death bed, yet still selfish to his core. "Aria, so you found out. Well and good. Saves me the trouble to chase after you. Now go and cooperate with the operation. I need your heart, right now" Andrew demanded. He sounded as delusional as he looked. Diego snorted sarcastically. "Dam

    In the Morrison villa, Aria was surprised to get a text from her mother. 'Meet me in the City hospital, alone' the text read. Aria tried calling Cynthia, but the call went unanswered. "Ash" Aria called out for Asher to tell him about the text. She paused halfway on the staircase when she remembered that her mother wanted to meet her alone. Asher on the other hand heard Aria calling for him. When he saw her standing on the staircase with a deep frown, he became worried. "Aria? What happened? Are you alright?" he inquired. His voice pulled her out of her daze and looked at him with a deep frown, contemplating about the text. "My mother wanted to meet me alone in the city hospital" she shared the context of the message she received. Asher's frown turned deep. "When?" he inquired. Aria descended the remaining stairs and showed him the text. When Asher read it, he felt like something is off here. "Did you give her a call to confirm?" he inquired softly, knowing her nature. He

    "See, now do you believe me?" Bryan demanded Stacy once he is inside his car, away from anyone who might be listening tp his conversation. Stacy didn't believe him when he shared his plan. She was sure it wouldn't work out, especially when Aria hates Bryan so much. They had to postpone Bianca's travel plans, as it would look suspicious if she leaves at a moment like this. They left her in the Smith’s residence, as they know that she won't be able to handle the stress. "It doesn't matter if I believe you or not. What about them? Did they believed your story?" Stacy inquired. Bryan frowned deeply. He didn't know. They didn't hint about it either. And he didn't linger for longer than nessasary to make them suspect him instead. He said his piece and left to make it look as if he doesn't have any ulterior motives. "I don't know. But still this is better. Now we are not the sole suspects regarding Cynthia's disappearance" Bryan replied while looking at the Morrison villa with a frow

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   He did it

    In the Morrison villa, Aria, Asher Diego and Dena were doing their best to find Cynthia. They are inquiring from people who met with Cynthia recently in hopes that they might know anything about where she might be. But everyone gave the same reply that Cynthia was searching for her missing daughter. But no one knows where she is. They sat down on the couch with a heavy sigh. "It doesn't make any sense. Where can she be? She was obviously searching for me. Now that I am trying to meet her, she is missing. I am sacred Ash" Aria confessed feeling worried about Cynthia. Asher rubbed her arm, silently offering her comfort. It is indeed confusing. Cynthia just vanished into thin air, which is impossible. "Only that bastard Bryan would know where she might be. But he is intentionally not disclosing anything" Diego muttered. Aria filled him in about the situation about Cynthia and the involvement of the Smith's. "We need to do something to make Bryan reveal everything he knows" Aria

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   He knows

    In the Smith’s residence, Bryan is glaring daggers at Andrew. "I helped you to find your daughter by disclosing her location, yet you come to my home and accuse me of homicide?" he snapped at the older man. Andrew was wheeled inside the Smith's residence by his guard. Bryan was not too pleased to find the old man inside his residence just when he was planning to send his sister back to the states. Bianca's luggage was packed and she agreed to leave rather reluctantly. She was not too Keen to leave the states as she is now interested in her former classmate. But her mother and brother didn't give her much option to stay back. So she agreed to leave. Just when Bianca was about to say her goodbye's to her mother and brother, Andrew showed up demanding an explanation about Cynthia's whereabouts. When Bianca, Bryan and their mother heard this, they were stunned. Untill then, only Aria and Asher were trying to find Cynthia. That was the reason why they had to send Bianca away. Now, to

  • Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife   Motive

    After Andrew left, Aria felt exhausted emotionally. Her emotions are all over the place. A father she doesn't trust and respect, and a mother who was a shadow while growing up. Everything is exhausting. She is unable to understand where her mother is and why does her father acting so sweetly which is so unlike him. "He definitely has an ulterior motive" Diego muttered angrily. Asher was thinking the same. "What do you think he wants from Aria?" he murmured. Asher heard alot about Andrew. From others and some from Diego. And no one has ever told him that Andrew is sweet or caring. He is selfish, cunning and can go to any lengths for what he wants. So if he came this far to recognize her as his daughter, even though it would make quiet a stir in the society if it was revealed, he still wanted to recognize Aria as his daughter. So that can only mean that he needs something much more than his lost reputation. And Asher is wondering what that might be. "I don't know either. He is

    "My daughter had to live in an orphanage because of Susan. If she would have accepted the truth that we are not meant to be, then so many people wouldn't have to suffer. Are you happy? Susan was adamant to stay with me and declare you as my heir. I gave up everything. Still she was not happy. Now I met my daughter after so long, yet you are determined to separate us once again. What have I ever done to you and your mother to deserve such a fate? What has Aria done to deserve everything that she has gone through? Who is the culprit here? You or your mother?" Andrew continued when he noticed Aria's thoughtful expression. Diego was worried that Aria might believe Andrew and misunderstand him. He just got his sister, and he doesn't want to lose her so soon. "Aria, he is lying. Don't believe him" Diego told Aria desperately. His voice begging Aria not to trust Andrew. Andrew was giving Diego a pitiful look. "I am lying?
