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
Chapter 41 It's all gone Asher mumbled some incoherent words to himself. "Ray, I need you to do something for me." He checked through his tablet."What would that be sir?" Ray asked, ready to write down whatever his boss wants to say."Do you perhaps know those who are to supply woods to the furniture company we hired?""Yes sir. We recommend our choice to them. Why do you ask?""I need you to prevent them from delivering the woods to the company."Ray looked up from his notepad with a confused look on his face. "Why sir?"Asher arched his brows. "Are you questioning my authority now?""It's not that sir, but the woods are meant to be delivered to the furniture company since we are almost rounding up on the building. They need to be ready a month before the general opening sir.""Ray, Ray, you worry too much. Let me handle this just do as you are told.""Sir, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the job delayed." Ray pushed further.Asher shot him a stern look that made him cower.
Chapter 42 What are we? Stranger.Mia paced back and forth, sparing her father a glance on the bed where he laid looking extremely white. She couldn’t wait for him to wake up and hear about what had transpired between him and the contractor, her mother had told her a little on how their wood supplies had not been delivered and him asking for another batch by being paid the rest of the money.About fifteen minutes later, Liam stirred in his sleep and coughed slightly. Mia rushed to his side as he made an attempt to sit up and she helped him up while propping a pillow behind him to enable him rest his back.“Are you okay dad?” She queried looking worried.“I am fine my dear. How are you?” He looked around only to find Mia by his side. “Also where is your mom and aunt Harriett?”“They are both at the shop, a whole lot of orders are on ground. The doctor had assured us that you were only stressed and needed to rest so I had offered to stay with you. Are you feeling better?”“Yes, I am per
Chapter 43 It’s homecoming“I can’t believe he would go this far, does he hate me that much?” Mia lamented bitterly chugging down the juice she held almost choking on it.Cheryl patted her baby gently, the little boy had stirred in his sleep as a result of his godmother’s noise. “Do you mind keeping it down Mia, Jayden isn’t finding your lamentation funny.”Mia heaved a sigh of frustration as she slumped on the couch. “Sorry booboo.”“Now that you are calm would you give me a proper explanation of what went wrong.”Mia inhaled and exhaled, she couldn’t contain her anger and had fumed all through the ride back home. As much as her heart thumped at the thought of meeting him, she still couldn’t fathom the act. It was not something she would have thought Asher could do. On arriving home, she only informed her parents and aunt that the issue had been sorted without disclosing too much. She knew if she told them the man behind her father’s condition was Asher they would be disappointed. No
Chapter 44 The New Guy“I can’t believe Asher is coming home after such a long time.” Amanda said excitedly to her husband as she arranged the room Asher was to sleep in. She had asked the helps to not worry and that she wanted to take care of her son’s room herself.“It’s surreal. It’s almost like ages since I last saw him.” Fred agreed.“Even though he says he is coming just for the baby’s dedication, I feel he is here for her.” Amanda picked her words carefully, almost scared to make mention of the name.“I do know what you mean Amanda, but don’t you think it’s high time they settle their scores now that she is around?”“Yeah, maybe, he does need the closure. My poor boy has gone through so much, I can’t wait to have him back. And I do hope he isn’t bringing that slut to my house!”“What slut again Amanda?” Fred again.“Catherine Walter!” Amanda stated while rolling her eyes.“I doubt he would.”“He had better not or I would have her thrown out without a single thought.”Seeing her
Chapter 45 A vicious sneerMia paced back and forth, her anger swinging past every corners of the room. Seeing Asher after their encounter in his office and having to see him moving around with Catty whom he had sworn heaven and earth that he despised when they were both together made her boil even more. He had really changed. He wasn't the Asher she knew. And her heart ached at the thought of him betraying her.Her thoughts got interrupted by the message notification on her phone. Mia slipped through for a split second and her face masked into a vicious frown.“What the hell?!” She yelled, holding onto her phone tightly. For a moment she wished it would be Asher and she could snuff life out of him. “I am so done with this damn project! I never signed up for this bullshit!” She kept muttering to herself.Liam peeped from the space of the opened door, noticing her strained posture, he knocked on the door gently, wondering what got her so worked up. She had not spoken much since they al
