CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride A Rollercoaster
Chapter 46 A rollercoasterCatty held her breath and she released them after closing the door. She should have known better before deciding to drop by Asher’s office without a fore notice. Her father had informed her of Asher's intention to stay back till the project of library was complete. She wondered how her father got a hold of such information, but what worried her the most was why Asher would change his mind in such short notice. He didn't bother to ask her to stay which implies he had no intention of keeping her in the know.Not thinking it through, she had paid him an unwanted visit and he didn't take it lightly with her. He was in one of his sore moods and judging by the look on his face he was expecting someone else. He didn't wait for her to exchange pleasantries with Ray when he had told the poor man to shove her out if he still needed his job. In her rage, she was beyond impressed when she saw Mia walk into the building. Giving her a quick check, it surprised her how Mia
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Spiting Mia
Chapter 47 Spiting MiaThe room busted with activities as Asher tried hard to concentrate on the sketch in front of him. The project had started in full swing and he had to handle some other projects by sending his most trusted employees. He had just gotten off a video call with some of his associates and had been checking through some files with Ray when Mia walked in. Asher held his breath in awe of her beauty. Since he arrived he hadn't been able to see her closely but now that he did, she didn't age a bit and looked more beautiful than he remembered.Mia had played safe throwing a general greeting around but he knew she was trying to ignore him. The office was a bit large but not spacious enough to accommodate the both of them, the space had been given to help ease their communication and for the success of the project.Mia tried hard to focus on her work but all she ended doing was doodling. She couldn't seem to sit steady in Asher’s presence. She could feel his gaze monitoring e
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Total pieces
Chapter 48 Total piecesMia looked around uncertain if she was suppose to be out with Collins. In her rage at the scene put up by Asher and Catty in the office, she had bumped into someone at the parking lot. All she wanted to do was to go hide in her bed, cry all day and not talk to anyone. Her first thoughts had been to put a call through to Cheryl but she decided against it, knowing Cheryl she would blow it all out of proportion and make a scene. The last thing she wanted was any ruckus being caused because of her.It turned out the man she bumped into was her first ever boyfriend, the first guy to betray her and make a fool of her. He looked different from how she remembered him. She had wanted to say her pleasantries in a hurry and move away from him but he had been insistent on talking to her and amending his ways, saying he felt bad for how they had both part ways which wasn't so pleasant enough and he asked her to have lunch with him. Mia realized she was stuck and couldn't sa
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride A blocked contact
Chapter 49 A blocked contact"Oh my baby, what's wrong?" Arabella asked, standing up she pulled Mia into a hug. Mia looked disheveled as she held on to her mother in a tight embrace and she wept into her chest.She had wanted to go home, but then realized how lonely it would be so she had decided to come to her mother's shop instead. All she wanted was to be hugged by someone, she would have preferred it if it had been Asher as she wished she could run up to him and tell him her truth and also express all of her bottled up feelings over the years. But knowing that was never going to happen with the new Asher, she cried harder."It's okay sweetie, it will be fine." Arabella consoled while patting her back.They both held on to each other for few minutes before Arabella let her go. She made Mia sit down before heading out to make her a cup of coffee. Just then aunt Harriet and Cheryl burst into the office with each woman's scarf flying."Mom!" She groaned.Her mother shrugged in defeat
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride The perfect distraction
Chapter 50 The Perfect DistractionBy the end of the week Mia was beyond exhausted and wanted to opt out of the project badly. Asher had made it a point of duty to make it uneasy for her to do her work. She had worked on every piece of design she could muster and none of it suited his taste. Instead he gave tons of reason why none of such design would be befitting for his master work. Mia knew he was doing it all on purpose, but she wasn't the type to give in and wouldn't let him break her.Mia was surprised Catty hadn't visit the office for a while, even though she wouldn't deny being pleased that she didn't get to see her face around. Collins didn't back off from getting in touch with her either and she had declined his invites. He must have noticed she had blocked his line, as he had called with another line which only added to her stress. He didn't know when to back off, she eventually agreed with her mom and Cheryl that he was trouble. What man is so hell bent on spending time wi
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Never giving up
Chapter 51 Never giving up"Just one single thing I assigned to you and you still couldn't do it right Collins. Would you ever be able to do anything right in your miserable life?!" Catty bawled in anger.Catherine had been quite on the edge since she got sent out of the office by Asher. It worried her that he hadn't put a call through to her for that long which was unlike him. She had feared he and Mia were getting back together. However, she had been hoping Collins plans would work out to distract Mia and make Asher stay away from her and have many more reasons to hate her. She got disappointed since Collins got kicked out before even getting started.Collins placed his leg on the table, they were in their father’s study room. He had served himself some whiskey and was smoking when Catty had come to ask him how it was going on his end.Collins kissed his teeth as he refilled his glass. “You worry too much for nothing sis, I wouldn't have gotten a chance anyway. She has a man already
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Did you ever love me at all?
Chapter 52 Did you ever love me at all?"You look so beautiful." Darrel commented as he stared intently at Mia. She had worn a red open neck dress that suited her skin so well. His mind went on an imaginative race, wishing he could run his fingers through her smooth skin but he knew better than to push any further. He was appreciative of their closeness now and wouldn't want to ruin it.Mia blushed lightly. “That's like the umpteenth time you have complimented me this evening. Don't you think you might run out of gas?" She teased.Darrel grinned, a smug look on his expression. “Well that doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon. I will keep complimenting you as much as I can.""Well, it's nice to know I have a faithful fan." She winked.Darrel couldn’t hide his laughter and he did happily. “Now I see you are having fun at my expense. Can I have an autograph please?” He joked.Mia raised her glass. “It’s not like I can help it. And don’t worry, I will give you an autograph." He ch

Chapter 53 Guilt feelingsDarrel mused on what had gotten into Mia, since she came back from the restroom she acted strange and all through the drive to her home, she didn't utter anything."Are you sure you don't need me to get you anything?" Darrel questioned, sounding unsure of what to say to get her out of the mood.Mia sighed. "It’s fine, Darrel. I am so sorry for ruining this night for you." She apologized in a sincere tone."Don't be like that, I understand you must have been annoyed by something. Maybe some other time we can go out again since I am around now." He cheered her up."You are so considerate." She commended."It's why I can put up with you." He teased, wiggling his brows.Mia gave a short laugh while appreciating the space Darrel gave her. It was one of the reasons why she respected him, he didn't probe too much and knows exactly when to not interfere.Darrel stopped the car in front of her house. “We are here." He announced.Mia gave him a quick peck before she al

CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Epilogue
EPILOGUE"This is my first time getting married and I want it to be as elaborate as ever." Arabella whined, as she slumped into the couch next to Liam who caressed her hair.It had been six months since the incident of Mia's kidnap. To avoid escalating the matter and to prevent people from probing the situation any further, they had refused to involve the police. However, Liam had scared the living daylight out of Catty and Collins the night Mia got freed. Shifting into his wolf, he had scarred them in different places both physically and mentally. They had both run away from town as soon as they got a chance to escape. At first Catty had proved stubborn and gone to the police to report a wolf walking around harming people and the police had sprung up working an Investigation to find out if she was right. When no one else corroborated her claim, it was dropped and when she insisted they had to tag her to be crazy. Liam took delight in going to her house to torment both her and her bro
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Scaredy Cat
Chapter 59 Scaredy CatMia sniffed the air after she regained consciousness. It was easy for her to sense that she was in a basement, the place smelled of dust a sign that it had not been used for a long time. The veil was pulled off her violently and she puffed trying to breath. The room was filled with light and she had to blink severally for her eyes to adjust to the brightness. Mia sneered at the figure she saw as she tried to move but her hands had been tied tightly to the chair she sat on.“Look who we have got here?” Collins mocked grinning at her.Realizing the situation she was in, she tried reaching out to her father with her mind so he would follow her through her mind portal and get to her.“What am I doing here, Collins?” She queried anger seeping into her bones.Collins smirked as he walked towards her. He leaned down to caress her jaw. “Come on princess, is that how you greet your one time lover? Wow! It has been how long now? Well I didn’t like how you treated me the l
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Get rid of her
Chapter 58 Get rid of her"That son of a gun!" Catty screamed, throwing the glass she held at the wall.She was boiling really bad. For a whole month she hadn't heard from Asher, but fortunately he had indeed place the call to VelaCruz fashion house and they had called her for a gig which had made it impossible for her to know what's going on with him. She thought he was onto one of his terrible moods and would get over it soon only for her to get back and hear rumors flying around about Asher and Mia being back together. She didn't want to believe it, but had been forced to when she went to the office and Ray wouldn't allow her in. She had left in annoyance and had waited at the parking lot till he would come out. And when he did, she saw Asher and Mia walked out of the building hand in hand and smiling lovingly at each other. She knew better than to go attack them. Asher wouldn't take it easy with her."Do you intend to bring down the house with your noise?” Collins said holding ont
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Pure bliss
Chapter 57 Pure bliss"This seems so surreal." Amanda clapped in delight. "I can't believe you both are back together after what seems like the most impossible thing to happen." She gleamed happily. Since Asher had announced his reconciliation with Mia, his bright self had returned and she couldn't be more glad. In her celebration mood, she had invited Mia's family, Cheryl, Adams, their son and even Ray wasn’t left out to a Sunday night family dinner. It seemed like old times as they all sat together in the Duckstein's large dinner room, dinning and throwing jabs at each other."I really want to see more of this, it has been long since I had a taste of your chicken casserole Amanda." Adam moaned in between bites.Everyone laughed except Cheryl who smacked his head from behind. "You are a mess, acting like you have been starved of food. So typical of you." She huffed."Let him be Cheryl, I miss having you all around too." Amanda replied, "I hope you feel really better now Mia?" She ask
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride A peaceful sleep
Chapter 56 A peaceful sleep"So, you both were once lovers?" Darrel asked, playing with his drink.Mia had called him to go out with her for lunch, she realized he needed an explanation for how he got treated the last time he was at her house. It had taken her a whole week to get back to her normal self after waiting for Asher to call her. But he never did and she returned to their temporary office together at the beginning of the week. However, he didn't resume with them. She had asked Ray and he wasn't too direct with his response.Mia reached out to hold on to his hand. "I had no intention of playing you Darrel, in fact I really Cherish what we have. But I won't lie to you, I still love him. It's like my soul and every part of me belongs to him.""I understand you, Mia. You never gave me the intention of wanting to be with me in the first place. What I don't understand is why you left on your wedding day?"She shifted uncomfortably. “Well—“"She had to because of some personal reas
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Werewolf not a mere wolf
Chapter 55 Werewolf not Mere WolfAsher sat still on the single couch in Mia's room saying nothing, he didn't know how to feel or what he was suppose to say. Never would he have thought what he saw would be the reason why she had left.Mia handed him a glass of cold water, she rolled her eyes at how lost he looked. She knew no one would take such news lightly which was why she kept it all to herself. She feared he might leave and never come back and without a second thought she knew the chances of them getting back together after the revelation was really unlikely and slim. What human would want to be with a werewolf? ‘Your mom loves your dad.’ A voice whispered in her mind.Taking the water from her, he gulped it all at once and wiped his mouth. “When did you find out?" He queried his voice sounding coarse."The midnight I clocked twenty one…on our wedding day." She replied not looking at him."That was when you didn't reply to my messages.""Yes.""Why didn't you tell me instead of
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Questions and Answer
Chapter 54 Question and AnswerAsher stood in front of the M&A Pastries and Coffee feeling nostalgic and he felt like a stranger in a familiar place. It was a weekend and he had gave everyone an off since he was in no mood to work. He knew Mia does go to her own company on weekends, however, he was told she didn't come to work so he had to come see her at home. He had decided to take to his mother's advice and get an answer to all his questions once and for all. Promising himself when he does, he would leave and never come back. He would also supervise the library project from his office in New York and put an end to all the charade.After having brunch with his mother, he had drove down here. Entering the place it looked very different from the last time he remembered and the faces at the counter had changed too. He hadn’t spend a minute when he was seen by aunt Harriett.“Oh my handsome, Asher. You came? It has been like forever since I last saw you.” She beamed at him pulling him i
