CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Into the future
Chapter 21 Into the futureFEW YEARS LATERMia stared at her whole family beaming with joy. It has been three years since the accident. She was told to have woken up from coma after two months. During that period, Asher had stayed all through and he even went ahead to reject a proposal in California for the resort plan he had drawn, saying he wouldn't leave her not caring what it had in it for him. No one could convince him to go and he had stayed till she had regained consciousness.Asher covered for everything she missed in school and she had to make use of crutches to get better after coming out of coma. Her friends Adam and Cheryl weren't left out in taking care of her as they made it easy for Arabella and aunt Harriet to get back to work with ease. Asher’s parents out of their busy schedule, ensured to show up once in a while during her recovery. They tried finding who had hit her but came up with no result as no one saw the plate number or neither was there a nearby CCTV cameras

Chapter 22 The Discovery The days flew past and it was just few hours to the big day. Mia felt unsteady and something kept creeping at her skin. She had retired to bed since past nine after Cheryl had left the house but she couldn't sleep. Her mother had just left her room, they had held on to each other for about an hour and she had been dozing off before she left the room but as soon as the door clicked shut she was up again. Mia checked the time, it was almost past eleven. It must be anxiety, she thought to herself. The day break would mark a new beginning in her life and Mia wasn't so sure if she was ready or not. Mia felt uneasy as she poured herself a glass of water and she chugged it down her throat in a hurry. She tried to rest again but it felt really painful. Her bones acted like they would rip her skin out. Soon she got out of the bed, sweating profusely and her whole body ached in every joint. Her first thought was to call Asher but she didn't want to bother him. Steppi

Chapter 23 A New LifeAsher stared blankly, his food laid cold in front of him. He hadn't said a word for two days since the news of Mia disappearing. His parents feared he might have a mental breakdown. They had tried searching round town but she couldn’t be found. Due to the letter she dropped, they could not report to the police as a missing person.Fred sighed heavily as he held on to his son's shoulder. “Get a grip on yourself son."Asher didn't reply for a long time as he let the silence stretched between them. "I want my woman back. I want my Mia back." He mumbled."We couldn't find her anywhere." His father responded."Then hire a private investigator to do it! She must be somewhere!” He yelled. “If nothing is done I would take matters into my own hands, I promise."If anyone thought Asher was going to sit all day doing nothing to know about Mia's whereabout, then they had something else coming. He had made up his mind to go to any mile to ensure she was found and he was only

Chapter 24 Father and DaughterSomething didn't feel right, Mia could swear someone's gaze was all over her and part of her felt connected to whoever it was."Are you okay, Mia?" Phillip, her co-worker asked, as he placed an order in her tray while noticing her inconvenience.Mia waved him off as she picked up the tray. "Oh don't mind me…Phillip. I am good. Just ignore."The table Mia was meant to serve only had one person occupying the space and the order made looked like it was meant for at least three people. The man sitting did look very fit but she doubted if he was the one about to consume so much food.Liam stared at her as she walked towards him, his heart went out to her and he could smell her wolf scent from afar. Her beauty is a total distraction. Since he walked in, her scent caught his nostrils and he hasn't been able to take his eyes off her. If she was a werewolf as his inner mind claims, there was no way she wouldn't have taken note of his stares and even know about hi

Chapter 25 The perfect unionMia would never have thought she would meet someone who was in the same predicament as she was; she had always thought only her had such weird makeup, half human and half wolf.That night Liam had come onto her because he was just as surprised as she was and wanted to satisfy his curiosity. At least he was bold enough to walk up to her exposing himself when he wasn't certain yet. She would have never attempted such if she had been the one. They had gotten closer since that night, he came down to the restaurant most times waiting till she got done with her work. It had been agreed between them that they wouldn't ask about their past and how they got inflicted. The idea had been brought by Mia cause she still wasn't sure about trusting Liam. Her cautiousness had made her refuse to share her address or ask for his, they had only shared contacts and called one another whenever they thought to see. Their relation was comfortable and it made her feel safe. Liam

Chapter 26 The dealIt was a Saturday and Mia was super excited as she looked up to their date every week. She wanted to race in the wood so bad."I see someone is eager to race." Liam teased as he dropped the bag that had the clothes he would change into at the back of a tree that now served as their usual spot.Mia clapped her hands together in delight. “I am so ready to beat you hands down today."Liam laughed. "Okay champ, any way you want it.""Let's do this." Mia smirked.The both of them shifted into their wolf forms and raced each other through the woods. Running with all her might, Mia ensured she was few feet ahead of him when she got to where their race ended. Liam had always beaten her to it and she wanted to show him how willing and far she could go when she wanted something. Shifting back into their human form, each of them took a shade behind the tree to get dressed."That was so good." Liam commented as they head out of the woods to the street.Mia’s face glowed with p

Chapter 27 Finding MiaAsher paced around the mini office he had rented in town to carry out his business till he expands. The company he got the contract from were generous enough to let him have a month to himself and after that they began calling for update on the project he was handling. Focusing was hard so he couldn't do much, but he knew better than to let the offer slid through his hands again like the time Mia was sick."Mia. Mia. Mia. Where are you? Please baby come home to me.” He whispered.Where has she been all this while? What has she been up to? He had put a call through to the private investigator his father had hired but he hadn't been able to find any clue that would lead to her. Asher couldn’t stop thinking about what might have gone wrong. What could have gone wrong within the few hours they left each other surpassed him. Mia looked very fine and happy the night before the wedding and he was sure he had not done anything to piss her off.The excuse Mia gave in the

Chapter 28 Liam and Arabella"Liam, a lady just called me from the airport saying she is from Barbara. She says she hasn’t been able to reach her friend Barbara and she is the mother to the lady Barbara had given her house key.” Jack explained to his friend as he slipped on his jacket."Oh, the girl from the other day. It has been months since I saw her.""It's not like you did see her that day. You told me, you were not interested in meeting her. And from my own view, there is something strange about her though and I could have sworn she had a wolfy nature."Liam laughed out. “A wolfy nature? Your association with me has really corrupted your memory. How can anyone just be a werewolf to you. Stop hallucinating. As far as I know, werewolves are a rare specie in today’s world.” He said.Liam’s mind raced back to Mia. He should call her. It had been a while since they spoke. She hadn't been picking his calls since that night and he thought it right to give her the space she needed."May

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
CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride Guilt feelings
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 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
