Asher was sitting in his office working. He hasn’t left the cabin, and the atmosphere is tense because of his rusty behavior.

Paul enters the cabin to talk to Asher, and Asher glares at him for disturbing his work. Paul completely ignores him as he asks, “You have been sulking all day long,” as he sits in front of Asher.

“I’m not sulking.”

“Oh, don’t lie on my face. I know as though I birthed you,” Paul scolded Asher.

“Don’t say that. It’s disgusting,” Asher protests.

“Now tell me what’s happening?” Paul asks, hiding a smile at Asher’s exaggerated reaction.

“Nothing,” Asher schools his expression as he resumes back to his work, ignoring Paul.

Paul snorts. “For someone who hates lying, you tend to do fall back into the bad habit of doing so whenever your feelings are concerned.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Asher avoids answering.

“And? Come on, talk to me” Paul nudges Asher’s legs below the desk.

Asher pursues his lips. “It’s just about Olivia and what happened on Valentine’s Day,” he says.

    "Mia, he said tomorrow night, but I don't know if he meant today or actually tomorrow," Olivia whines, looking at her mobile."Oh, right, you're supposed to speak with him?"

    Olivia lies in bed, looking at the ceiling. Asher hadn't called her till now. Maybe he meant tomorrow, as in tomorrow itself. But Olivia is restless, she has such a bad feeling since the whole fight, and it's getting worse tonight.* * * * * * * * * * *Paul asked everyone to gather in the living room at 11 at night. Everyone is present except Asher. He hasn't seen the man since lunch. He was not present for dinner as well."Has anyone seen Asher?" He asked, hoping to get any info on the mob boss."No, why?" Adam answers."I haven't seen him all evening, And I can't find him anywhere," Paul informed all of them."Wasn't he supposed to meet with one of our allies not far from our headquarters?" Steve steps in, and he says, "I remember him mentioning something about Nicolas, but he didn't expand on it." he shrugs."I tried to call his driver, but nothing," Paul says. "This idiot shouldn't be working.""F*ck, can you locate him, Steve," Adam asks, turning to Steven.Steven, who was busy o

    "Don't f*cking say that," Adam pulls Steven by his collar angrily. "He could have died or be taken away if his driver hadn't been there."Walter pulls both of them apart. "But he is fine now, Adam. Calm down. His injuries weren't worsened, and he didn't hit his head" He tries to calm both of them lightly."Yeah, I know he is, But still...." Adam huffs."Don't worry, guys. I'll try to talk to him when he wakes up," Paul says, rubbing his forehead."Paul, please do talk to him because the boss won't listen to any of us, but maybe he will listen if his brother talks to him. He always comes to you," Adam pedals, looking like a lost puppy. Asher was the one who saved his life and gave him a new identity to continue living. He is all Adam had in his life. He can't lose him. Never.Paul, who knew, understood the unsaid words in Adam's sentence and nodded his head in assurance. "I'll do my best. If not, someone else can try to help," he says."Who?" Walter asks."Ohh, True," Steve covers his

    When Olivia went for dinner, Asher was busy working. And between his work, he suddenly realizes something. "Olivia called me by my name," he says to Paul, who was the only one working with him currently. "And?" He raises an eyebrow at Asher. "And?? She said, Asher. She never does that. I mean, she did a few times, but that's when I was bleeding out in an alley," Asher clarifies. "Okay. Why do you sound like you hated her saying your name?" Paul asks, confused. "I didn't hate it. And that is my problem," Asher says. "And why is it a problem?" "Because..." Asher struggles to get words out. "Because I said so. Now leave me alone," Asher huffs. "You are the one who started conversing with me...?" "It was a mistake." Paul gets offended by Asher's words, but he pits him because he said something he was feeling, which is a good thing. "I wonder how you will react once you hear it in real life," Paul sneakers. "Her typing your name already has you flustered and blushing." "I'm not '

    Both stare at each other silently. Asher’s words ring in the silent room. His face is filled with uncertainty and hesitation but also assurance. He is willing to do that only if Olivia will accompany him during those nights.Olivia without even hearing his words understands the turmoil in Asher’s heart. “Of course, Asher. we can call, facetime, or text whenever there's one. I’ll always be there with you”“Thank you.” Asher’s face breaks into a smile.The genuine smile makes Olivia’s heart tingle “We'll make a bunch of good memories about storms so that the bad ones are gone.” She says with a smile.Asher looks surprised and delighted with the suggestion “I'd love that.”“Me too.”Olivia looks at Asher and suddenly she remembers something “Also, I'm learning how to bake.”“What?

"Was there a thunder on your side?""Yeah, something like that." Asher’s face dims remembering the situation he was trying to ignore.Olivia notices and asks with a soft voice "Do you want to talk about it?"Asher looks startled "About what?" he asks with confusion."Why you're scared of storms."Asher peruses his lips and goes silent. His tongue comes out to lick his dry lips. He shifts on his bed curling on to himself "There's nothing much to say.""I'm still listening if you want to share." Olivia doesn’t prob, but still tries to talk to him.Asher is not someone who opens up to someone about his shortcomings. He has been trained t

    “I could live in this car.” Olivia sighs into the leather seat.“I don’t think Mini would appreciate that,” Asher says from where he’s bent over, his arms propped on the edge of the rolled-down window.“Good point. She’s tiny but needs a lot of space, a bit like Steve.” Olivia snickers at her own joke, two duffle bags brimming with Asher’s clothes thrown over the seat next to where she’s installed at the back of the car.“I’ll tell him you say that.”“Go ahead, I’ve been meaning to fight him after Airhead.”“Brat.”Olivia peers up at Asher, catching the fond smile on the boss’ lips. “Thank you for the date.”“You’re welcome, and thank you too,” Asher says, his face close to Olivia. “You enjoyed yourself?”“Mhm, the most,” Olivia grins as she fastens her belt when the driver enters the vehicle“Me too,” Asher whispers, and with his index, he brushes a strand of hair away from Olivia’s forehead. “I won’t be able to text you much today, but I’ll do what I can to try.”“It’s fine, don’t w

    When Olivia wakes up a few hours later, it’s to an empty bed, Asher’s side on the mattress tidied up, the phone and iPad on the nightstand gone.It doesn’t take long for Olivia to figure out where the mob boss went when, and after relieving herself in the restroom, she climbs down the stairs to make her way to the dining room.Asher is seated at the end of the table installed in the corner of the bay windows and Olivia trudges up to the mob boss.Hands shoved in her pants pockets, Olivia knocks her foot on the leg of the chair Adam is occupying, the one directly on Asher’s left.“Move,” Olivia orders when Adam does not budge.Adam swivels around. “Say that again, GaintDog?”“That’s my seat. Move.”“How about you f*ck off before I shoot you in the knee?” Adam snaps when Olivia kicks the chair again. “It’s no one’s seat, however right now it’s mine because my a*s is on it.”“Adam, come on,” Walter intervenes from where he’s lounged further down the table, Mia by his sides. “They’re in t
