Chapter 38

Ashley Gustavo POV

Waking up with heavy eyebags underneath my eyes this morning was a horrible thing to start my day, but I shouldn't expect less when I barely slept all through the night, right? The night was said to be brief, but not when you have insomnia. Yesterday was my longest night ever.

I got out of bed with Asher on my mind, so I headed to his room to check on him.

I stood in front of his room, contemplating whether or not I should knock on the door. This man was the same person who told me yesterday that he didn't want to see me.

"He didn't say that he didn't want to see you. He simply said that he wanted to be alone, and I think it's normal," My subconscious mind reminded me, but still, he should've listened to me, right? I mean, I was worried about him.

I exhaled briefly and finally knocked on the door.

"Asher? Are you inside?" I knocked again for the fifth time when I didn't get a reply from him the first four times I knocked on the door, and just like before,

I had to rush down here after I got the emergency call from Lisa.I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and I saw a few nurses running around just like we always do on days we have an emergency.I headed into my office picked up my coat and left for the emergency room."I'm sorry, I was stuck in a traffic jam," I apologized to the doctor as soon as I walked inside the emergency room. The patient was a little boy probably ten years of eleven of age and he was involved in an accident. His body was covered in blood and he had a few cuts too."We need to stop the internal bleeding," The doctor uttered hurriedly and we swung into action. I held the boy's legs and raised them above his heart level as I was taught while the doctor began the treatment.Seeing the blood reminded me of what happened yesterday and again, I shrieked.

I'll check on you later," I bowed to her, and she replied to me with a smile and nod. I left for the rooftop with many thoughts running through my mind. Why did he want to see me? Does it have anything to do with what happened today?"You won't find out until you get there, Ashley," I reminded myself as I finally took the stairs that led up to the rooftop.I saw him leaning over the rail when I arrived at the rooftop, and I guess he sensed my presence because he immediately turned and faced me."You are here?" He forced a smile at me, and I nodded as I counted my steps toward him."Hmm... You asked to see me,""Yes, I did..." He paused and exhaled deeply as he tucked his hands inside his pockets while staring down at me."What happened, Ashley? Are you ok?" He asked with concern written all

    Chapter 41Asher pulled over at the parking lot of the tall building, hopped out of the car, and proceeded toward the building. He was cladded in black trousers and a short-sleeved button-down shirt. His injured arm had a rope on it which was hung around his neck.The cold air conditioner welcomed him inside as he strode majestically into the elevator which took him to the fifth floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Lucas, who was waiting right outside for him bowed."Master," Lucas muttered, but he strode past him and walked away."How is he?" He asked coldly with his hand tucked inside his pocket as he finally stopped along the walkway and faced Lucas."The doctor is still trying to revive him, boss. His life is on the line, and...""Take me to him," Asher's voice came out, filled with command and rage."Yes, boss," Lucas led the way. He led Asher through the walkway and took the route along the corner of the walkway which led to the stairs to a basement.Asher waited

He would've informed the cops right away, but it wasn't a twenty-four-hour test, so he couldn't be reported as a missing person.I sat on my bed tiredly, too lazy to go get ready for work. As much as I wanted to go check his room out maybe he was back, I didn't want to get disappointed, so I thought it was best for me to stay back here and just get some rest.My phone beeped and I quickly reached for it, hoping it was Asher, and when I saw that it was really him, my heart leaped with joy. I anxiously unlocked the phone and clicked on the message.'I'm waiting for you in the living room. Don't keep me waiting' The text looked so cold and my heart missed a beat. Even though it sounded threatening, I quickly left my bed as I was desperate to see him. I slid my feet into my flip-flops and hurried out of my room, but I stopped on my track when I dashed into the living room

How may I he..." Lisa's voice trailed off when she saw that the person was Asher. She smiled and quickly bowed."Good morning, Sir. It's nice to have...""My friend was brought here... His name is Marcus Jackson," Asher cut her off hurriedly, looking restless."Oh... One second, please," Lisa excused herself and went ahead to check the desktop for a few minutes before she turned to Asher."He is on the fourth floor. Room 208," Lisa could barely finish her statement before Asher rushed off worriedly. He had gotten a call from a stranger earlier that Marcus got into an accident and was rushed to the hospital. Asher took the elevator to the floor and as soon as he barged out of the elevator, he made his way to the room which he soon located. He twisted the doorknob then pushed it open, and barged ins

    Chapter 44Asher walked down the walkway briskly minutes later while holding his phone to his ear. He paused when someone finally answered the call from the other end."Boss," Came a masculine voice."I'm sending you the details of someone. I need you to find her in twenty-four hours," Asher spoke on the phone."Alright, boss," And with that, he disconnected the call and texted the details to the person he had just called. He had managed to get a few information from Marcus earlier while they were in the ward. Of course, he wasn't going to let her off the hook just like that. He was going to make sure she paid for hurting his friend.Asher held his phone firmly and walked elegantly down the walkway, but he paused in front of one of the doors. It was the ward where his Mom was admitted. As much as he wanted to leave, he couldn't just resist it. In the end, he kept reminding himself that no matter what happened, this woman was still his Mom.He took a deep breath then held the doorknob,

    Chapter 45"What do you want from me, Ann? I told you to get rid of the baby," Ace snapped frustratingly on the phone as he paced restlessly in his room."I told you that I can't get rid of the baby. If you are going to keep being like this, then you will leave me with no choice but to come to your house. I can't have a child out of wedlock," Ann insisted, and he ran his fingers through his hair frustratingly as he finally slumped on the bed."You better think about it. I'll be waiting for you," The call finally dropped dead after the last words from Ann. Ace tossed his phone on his bed and buried his face between his palms while rubbing his forehead gently. Ace had never been so regretful in his entire life than he was right now. He shouldn't have ever done that, he shouldn't have hurt Ashley, and who knows, maybe his life wouldn't have been this messed up."Damnit!" A knock came on his door, and he hesitated before he asked whoever was at the door inside. The door opened, revealin

For goodness sake, what the fuck does he want from me again? I hesitated before I swiped the answer button and held the phone to my ear."What do you...""I'm outside. Let's talk," His deep voice sounded over the phone and the call dropped almost immediately. I pulled a puzzled look as I looked at the screen of my phone to be sure that the person who called me was really Ace. What does he want to talk about again?"Is everything alright, Ashley?" Lisa asked me, and I looked at her."Yes... Everything is fine. I'll be back shortly," I excused myself and went outside. I spotted Ace leaning against his car which was parked at the parking lot as soon as I stepped out of the building. "What do you want to talk about? I'm busy, so you should be fast about it," I stated bluntly as I stood in front of him, and h

He held my hand and examined my bleeding shoulder, but I only forced a smile and nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. It's just a scrap. I'll be fine after it's treated," Deep inside me, I was freaking out. It wasn't my first time seeing bullets or experiencing a gunshot scene, but it was my first time being the victim. Who could that person be? Why was he or she aiming at me? Who could've wanted me dead?The door burst open and Ann barged inside."Ash... Are you ok? What happened?" Ann freaked out as she squatted in front of me."I'm fine. I just bumped into the doorframe and got hurt," I forced a smile, and she breathed out in relief."I was so scared. I thought something happened to you," she whined."You should be careful next time, please,""Hmm. I will,""I will take care of her. You should get some

After we were done eating in the dining room, I went back to the room before Asher. I was getting ready to go to the bathroom when Asher walked inside."Hi!" I said to him awkwardly, and he hummed as he sat on the bed."Come here," He patted his lap for me to sit on it, and I rolled my eyes."I'm going to bath...""Don't make me repeat myself," He hushed as he held my hand and pulled me to sit on his lap."Ash...""Shhhh!" He closed his eyes and sniffled my arm as he slowly rubbed his hand gently against it, and my heart fluttered."Do you think I'm a terrible man?" He stopped and asked out of the blue moon as he looked at me, and I scoffed."No, you're not. Why do you ask?" "You are not going to think about it before answering?" He looked at me and asked."Because there is nothing to think about. You are not a terrible man, and I

Ever since Asher left the house, he hasn't been back yet and I couldn't help but get worried about him. Did something bad happen to him out there? What exactly was happening?I reached for my phone and dialed his number, but it was unavailable and this got me even more worried.I stood up from the bed and advanced toward the door. The guard from earlier was right in front of the room when I opened the door."Do you need anything, ma'am?" I shook my head and sighed."Have you been able to reach Asher? Why is he not back yet?" I asked him worriedly."Boss is fine and will be back. I think he has something to take care of," Came another confusing reply yet again. What exactly does he always have to take care of? Just what the fuck was it?"Hmm... Can I go to see my sister?" I asked, and he nodded."Sure. Her room is right opposite yours," He pointed to the room in front of us, an

Do you have an appointment with...""I need to see him. I don't need an appointment to. Where is the way to his office?" He cuts her off, and she blinked her eyes a few times."Over there," He didn't wait for her to give all the directions before he hurried off where she had pointed.Asher walked restlessly down the walkway a few minutes later until he was finally able to locate the doctor's office.

He looked at the divorce papers in his hand and breathed out before he proceeded into the building where Lucas and Amelia were already waiting for him."Where is he?" He asked as he walked inside briskly."This way, boss," Lucas led the way while he trailed behind him. They arrived at an empty tattered room where Mr. Brown was tied to a chair."Hmph! I knew it was you. How dare you abduct me?" Mr Brown huffed angrily and spat out out as soon as he saw Asher."Leave us alone," Lucas left immediately after Asher ordered. Asher turned to him with a deep frown on his face."I will go straight to the point, Mr Brown..." Asher paused then walked over to the empty chair in the room and went to sit in front of him."If you want to get out of here alive, then sign the divorce papers, and let's end this once and for all," Asher offered, but he scoffed."What makes you think that I'm going to sign those papers?"

I was forced to ask curiously on our way, but he only told me that everything was fine even though I saw through him that something was wrong."Just calm down. Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it," My subconscious mind told me, but I couldn't help myself. I couldn't just stay calm in this situation, right? Many thoughts ran through my mind as I kept glancing at him. Could it be that someone was after him? What exactly happened?It too

    Chapter 89"Excuse me? Who are you? Are you looking for someone?" Asher looked up at the door swiftly when he heard a feminine voice from outside. "Uhm... Sorry, I got the wrong room," He recognized the voice immediately to be Amelia's but told himself that it wasn't possible. She was at home when he left earlier, so how could it be her?He had intended to stand up and go confirm but changed his mind when he looked down at Ashley who was sleeping peacefully on his lap. When he walked inside earlier, he had found her sleeping on the sofa uncomfortably and managed to her head on his lap."Maybe it's not here," Even though he was convinced that was Amelia's voice, he didn't have a choice but to dismiss the thought, reminding himself that no way Amelia could've followed him down to the hospital in the middle of the night.Brushing all the thoughts to the back of his mind, he looked down at Ashley and couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips.

"Is something wrong?" His Mom asked him worriedly seeing the look on his face as he stared at the screen of his phone, but he looked at her and smiled."No... Everything is fine," "Hmm," She slowly nodded.He held her hand and squeezed it gently. No matter how gentle he was to her, to him, he wasn't doing enough. He had wronged this woman so much and nothing he did that could change that."Son... About the woman I told you..." He quickly removed his hand from hers and straightened his back."Mom... I'm married, and I love my wife. I won't get married to someone else," Mrs Brown's eyes dilated in shock upon hearing that from her son."You are married? When?"
