Chapter 33 She is backAsher woke up from his king-sized fluffy bed, yawning loudly. He stared around the room like he was lost in a strange land. Then he remembered why it looked different, he had brought in two ladies for a rough night when he went to club. His routine over the years was, work, club, and random sex. He wasn't planning to change it anyways cause it suited him just fine.He slapped the ladies on their naked butt to wake them up. He walked towards his drawer, pulling out some bundles of cash and he threw it at them."You both should get dressed and get the fuck out in five minutes. That’s all the time you have got before I get the guards to throw you both out." He sneered.The ladies muttered incoherent words as they ran through their things and running out of the penthouse. He didn't care what they thought about him, he had only brought them in to please him. They had no right to complain since he paid them off.Checking his time he had only twenty minutes to get read
Chapter 34 Keeping Track of herCheryl had picked Mia up for their supposed date to hang out around town. She wanted to show the town off to Mia so badly. They had never been far away from each other for such a long time before and she wanted to tell her a whole lot of things.Cheryl noticed that every time she looked her way, Mia seemed lost in thought. If Mia wasn't breathing, she could have sworn she was a walking corpse."Stop acting like a zombie, Mia and don't slouch.” Cheryl rebuked, steadying her shoulders."I didn't slouch, Cheryl." Mia argued."Oh yes you did.""No, I—“ The curt look Cheryl gave her shut her up. She was only pregnant and was already acting like a mom. "Fine, I am sorry…I would walk right. Are you satisfied ma'am?"She smiled widely. “Of course! Now I am satisfied." She pointed to an opened restaurant. “I am so hungry, let's eat there."Mia stared wide eyed, "Didn't you just wolf down a giant sandwich before we stepped out of the shop?”Cheryl pouted as she s
Chapter 35 See you soon"How many times do you need me to say I am sorry?" Asher nipped at Catty’s neck.Catherine moved away from him. He had called her over giving her an expensive bracelet to appease for the way he acted the other day. As much as she didn't really mean much to him, she satisfied his sexual urge in a way that surpassed every other woman. And for the fact that he could unleash his pains and frustration into her without feeling guilty.Catty had stayed away from him for two weeks, the bruise he had caused the other day must have taken time to heal and hurt her much for her to stay away. He had informed Ray to order one of the most expensive bracelets, send it to her and call her to his office to ease out the stress he felt.Staring at her, Asher never ceases to admit she was good looking and sexy. She looked gorgeous in the orange colored skin tight dress that hugged her curves perfectly. Her skin toned out over the years, with long straight legs and a body to die for
Chapter 36 Panic AttackMia stared at the man sitting in front of her from the rim of her juice glass, she felt like stoning him with the cup. He looked calm and responsible from the picture posted on his profile but sitting right here with him was like hell. All he did was rant about himself, how he excelled so much in his work as a neurologist and the number of women that had dumped him. When he mentioned that, Mia realized the reason, no woman in her right mind would stay with a man so self centered as him.Jason was his name, good looking with a nice fitting stature and very brilliant too. But aside these nice features, he lacked proper human communication almost like he had been talking to a statue.She dragged her heel under the table. "Jason, I also do furniture architecture—“"Yeah not bad, but do you know I am the best surgeon in my hospital, the...” He kept on.Mia zoned out of the conversation again, she had no intention of paying him any mind this time around. She had been
Chapter 37 One true loveAsher opened the door to his office and felt the sudden urge to bawl over. "Ray!" He yelled.The little man panicked behind him, he had known he was going to be in hot soup whenever his boss got into the office. "Yes sir?" He queried meekly."Why the hell didn't you tell me I had a guest?" He questioned, eyeing Adam who sipped something that looked like wine in the glass cup he held ignoring him. He had made himself comfortable."Thought there was no need to sir."Asher shot him a glare before using his hand to dismiss him. "To what do I owe this uncalled visit Adam.” He bickered, walking majestically into the office."So much for wanting to surprise you, is that the proper way to treat a brother." Adam let out a scoff."Your presence makes my heart race every time Adam." He admitted in all sincerity.Adam shrugged as he took a sip of his drink. "Can't help my overwhelming personality.""In your dreams, right?" Asher pulled him away from his chair and he sat d
Chapter 38 His plansAsher checked through the documents on the table, they had been busy all morning contemplating on the design for the library. He had been informed the land was about half an acre so he had to change the plan he drew overnight."Are you giving us the sole charge of the contract?” Ray directed his question at Adam as he scribbled down everything being discussed on his notepad."Of course, you are to see to everything to make it a befitting reading avenue. From bricks to furniture." Adam replied."Ray.” Asher called out. "I need you to get all of our teams on board. After all of the arrangements, I want us to start work this coming month, no slacking. Is that clear?""Yes, very clear sir." Ray responded. He stood up and bowed to both men before heading out the office.Adam cross-legged staring at his friend. Asher dropped the pen in his hand. "Spill it! What's on your mind?”"Nothing you don't know of." He mumbled."Stop it Asher, we have been together since we were
Chapter 39 Mia is a werewolf"Sir, I found a list of companies and from my findings COMFY DESIGNS tops them all. From customer ratings and samples of their furniture it is awesome. And I also heard that the woman managing it draws out the designs herself." Ray ranted, checking the profile in awe.Asher didn't need to affirm if it was Mia’s company he was talking about. He had done his own personal research, both online and direct info from Adam, everything was about Mia’s company being the best choice.Adam had told him all about Mia and he had done well to pretend like whatever he said meant nothing to him. Aside his personal intention to get to her, he knew her company would do a good job on the intended project and was willing to stake his earnings on it."We would go for them then. Make orders for the needed furniture, let them know the budget and what we are working on." He instructed."Right away boss." Ray replied. He exited the office.Asher heard a knock on his door, he wonde
Chapter 40 It’s a boyCheryl shook profusely as she sat on the edge of the bed, she tried to compose herself but kept failing at every point. In place of Mia, she had come face to face with a big brown wolf and right in front of her, Mia had transformed into her normal body. However, she was naked. Mia has held Cheryl’a hand, helped her to her room and made her sit on the bed before she went to her wardrobe to search for a new cloth to wear.Mia heaved a deep sigh as she sat down in front of her friend. "I see you are still in shock, I am really sorry. I did tell you, you weren't ready but your persistence had me on the edge. I am sorry."Cheryl throat felt dry. With Mia's heightened hearing ability she could hear her heart beating very fast. She stood up and went down to the kitchen to get her water. Coming back in, she handed the cup to her and Cheryl hand shook as she held the cup. Mia almost slapped herself for letting her insistence get to her. She had no idea how to bring her ou
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
