Chapter 30 Multi-million dollars dealAmanda sighed deeply, she stared at her son digging into the plate with no emotion. The last time she had seen him smile was a day before his intended wedding. Everything had been fine before the unfortunate incident that occurred.Standing up, Asher murmured a good bye and left the house without sparing his mother a glance. She teared up, Fred alighted the stairs, noticed her countenance and he made a move to hold on to her."What is the matter, Amanda?” He queried with a worried look on his face."Have you seen the way our son behave this days?""What can we do Amanda? He has to heal himself. We can’t force it on him.”"He shouldn't be the one facing this, he loved her with all of his heart so how could she betray him in such manner." She wailed."You and I know Mia isn't like that, whatever must have gone wrong had been beyond her power. We all don't understand because she is nowhere to be found.""What if Asher never recovers and he lapse into
Chapter 31 The Family Reunion"Hi." Liam rubbed his palms together as he settled on the couch facing her directly."Hi." Mia drawled.Liam cleared his throat, trying to find the right words to say to her. "Your mom told me you love making furniture, seems like we both have many things in common." He chuckled nervously with his eyes looking everywhere but her. "How did I not notice you had all of my features." He bit on his lips hard."Dad." Mia called out.It sounded foreign to her but judging by his expression and what Jack had told her, he had no control over the turns their lives had taken. She wanted to relay her pains to her father badly since he also went through something similar.“Dad.” She repeated.Liam jerked on the chair almost falling off, he wasn't expecting that she would call him that so soon. "Yes."Mia stood up, moved closer and knelt next to him to hold his hands. "I accepted that I was fatherless since a tender age but I have always wanted a father. Having you righ
Chapter 32 Back to TitusvilleFOUR YEARS LATER "I am so elated seeing you right now! It has been a long time since you left, Mia! Even though you missed my wedding, I still miss you all the same!” Cheryl said, holding her hands with a bright smile on her expression.Mia smiled back. Cheryl looked beautiful with her bump, she was four months gone. After Mia’s reunion with her father, she had joined him at his workshop and both of them have been working hand in hand to make beautiful furniture. They have an online store where varieties of furniture are showcased and with her expertise their client base had expanded.Mia and Liam had decided to bring their office and workshop down to Titusville which she was to head. It would bring them closer to the people they adore. Her father had parked up from California to be with his woman and it had been decided to stay connected. The past few years had been spent getting to know each other better and each person taking their time.Arabella had
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
