Disbelief flickered through his features before it morphed into hurt and then rage took over. "You don't know what you are saying," his voice was low and menacing as he gritted out. His expression was cold and unyielding but his eyes were pools of blazing inferno as they burned through her. Serena gulped down her fear for once and put on a brave front."I know what I.." she begin to say but he cut her off with a warning. "Shut up," he growled, his temper on the verge of boiling over. But Serena couldn't be silent right now. "I mean it. I don't think it's working. I want a breakup," she repeated, looking little below his eyes. She didn't have the courage to look him in the eyes and lie. They both had their fists clenched, one with rage and the other with fear. Asher advanced and in the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of her. Her eyes turned wide when he grabbed her jaw in a tight grip and glowered down in her face. "Another word from your mouth and you will see my wo
The silence had grown unbearably oppressive in the car as he drove her somewhere. He had yet to utter anything yet. The tension was palpable, making her stomach churn with unease. The sight of him fuming in silence wasn't helping either. He was holding the steering with a knuckle-whitening grip, a stern expression set across his face as he stared ahead at the road. The air was tense, and it felt as though it could snap at any moment now. "Where are you taking me?" she forced back the lump in her throat and asked. No response. He didn't even look her way. Serena exhaled a troubled breath.Asher pulled over in the middle of somewhere and got out of the car. Walking around to her side, he pulled her door open and asked her to step out. Hesitation was evident in her movement as she came out of the car. A biting gust of wind blew in her face, making her shiver. She squinted in the darkness, trying to figure out where they were. "Do you remember this place?" Asher looked her way and aske
He preferred them like this- without clothes, distance, and inhibitions. There was no space for space between them. He wanted her all bare to himself; from the curves of her body to the depth of her soul so that he could kiss every inch of her. He yearned to be inside her all the time. His craving for her was neverending. No matter how many times he had her, his hunger for her body and soul felt insatiable. He pressed down on her body with his, savoring the exquisite feel of her skin rubbing against his. Making love to her was addictive. He had turned into a sex maniac since the day he took her for the first time. But sex with her was beyond physical. It was the connection of their soul that he sought by joining their body. His lips moved up her side, trail kisses. Serena was breathing heavily, her sweet juicy bosoms heaving up and down with every breath she took. Asher bit into the underside of her breast, making her whimper. She was feverish, the heat of flame burning in her
"Why are you nervous? Are you having second thoughts about him? You wanna run away, I can help you," Ayleen shot off her questions at Serena. Serena rolled her eyes. "I am not having second thoughts nor do I wish to run away. I just....I don't know it's a big day..A life-altering day for me. I am just nervous," she explained, not sure why her heart was pounding in her chest. Serena sighed and sat down on the chair, not sure how to describe her feelings. It was confusing. She was happy but nervous too. This all was happening so fast. If someone had told her four years ago that she would be marrying so young, she wouldn't have believed it but now look at her, all dolled up to take sacred vows. Ayleen put a hand on her shoulder. "It happens. Being nervous is the most common thing for a bride," her friend assured her. Serena looked up at her and smiled. She was the only friend who could make it to her wedding. Shanice was out of the country on a shoot. As everyone had expected, her ca
Serena stood in front of him with a shy smile, her eyebrows lifted in question, asking for his opinion on her appearance. Asher swallowed, completely mesmerized by her remarkable beauty. His eyes were wide and his mouth parted. He couldn't believe he was going to marry this beautiful angel. He felt a rush of excitement and gratitude, realizing that he was the lucky guy who would wake up every morning beside her, basking in her light. He would be the one to gaze into those captivating eyes each day. He couldn't believe he was the lucky bastard who would have the honor of calling her his wife. Serena broke eye contact with him to scan the interior. Asher had spared no expense to make the day special for her. It was the same church where they had shared their first kiss which made it even more special. The church looked nothing like its old self. Asher had it renovated especially for their wedding. The interior looked lavish and straight out of heaven with all those beautiful flowers.T
Asher drew the curtain over the window, having no desire to admire the moon glowing outside when he had his own moon right here with him. He craved only her light and warmth. After isolating themselves from the world, he turned towards her. She was standing in the center of the room looking at him with her innocent eyes. A mischievous smirk played over his lips as he started taking purposeful strides towards her. The bedsheet was decorated with two giant interlocked hearts made of rose petals. The light in the room was dim, in tune with the romantic setup. "Why were you nervous?" When reached closer, he bent to her eye level and asked. She shrugged, not sure why. Asher then stepped around to circle her like a predator. Despite having spend so much time with him, she still sometimes felt intimidated by his imposing air. The success had brought significant changes in him or maybe it was her company. He carried himself with a lot more confidence now. "Serena Carter. Carter suits y
Serena looked out the window at the vast expanse of the garden in front of their mansion. The garden was decorated with tables were posted everywhere. They had moved into their mansion about a couple of days ago and today was their housewarming party. Eleven months had passed since their wedding. Things had only gone upwards since that day. His company had made massive profits over these few months. Asher was being noticed by the renowned names of the business world. He was nominated for the Young Entrepreneur Award. And if things go well, soon he will be amongst the billionaire section of society. And it all happened after their marriage. Asher would always tell her that she was his lucky charm. The company succeeded only because he named it after her. He had also transferred the ownership of their mansion to her as one of her wedding gifts. She owned this mansion and half share of his business. "I've checked all the arrangements, ma'am. Everything is perfect," Mr. Garreth, their bu
All the eyes focused on them as soon as they made their appearance. Serena noticed many distinguished personalities among their guests, eyeing her with curiosity. Everyone had heard about Mrs. Carter but very few had the chance to see her in person. Asher would always mention her in his speeches and attribute all his success to her. Naturally, everyone was beyond curious to see the Goddess who gave up her own dreams for her husband's. And the sight didn't disappoint them. Even a blind could see the love this couple held for each other just by the way they smiled at one another.Mrs. Carter possessed a divine aura. Her presence seemed to light up the room, and the guests couldn't help but admire her grace and beauty. Unlike her husband who carried an air of authority, she had a warm and inviting presence that put people at ease. The way she smiled at others with so much sweetness and kindness was a testament to her lovable nature. She was strikingly opposite to Asher Carter in terms o
