Cheryl POV
Ever since Cecilia threatened me with the pictures of me and Alpha , she has been acting rudely towards me , showing me she's the boss (referring to Cecilia)
She has stopped the maids from doing my bidding or orders, she has also stop calling me for breakfast and threaten me that if I refuse to come or come late everyone would see the pictures
She has been a pain in my ass and I don't know how to get rid of her
The only person that can help me out , has been out of sight since the kiss
I sigh as I make way to the dinning hall
Asher has been studying the files day and night that I feel guilty , if I didn't defend him , he won't be putting himself into days of studying like this and when he don't get the contract.... It's gonna really hurt him
As usual Asher was already in his seat before I arrive , I sat close to him , shortly Master Williams joined us
"Master , my son Greg is having his birthday party soon " one of his wives or mistress said
Sometimes I wonder how many wives, mistresses, daughters, sons,daughter in laws ,son in laws.....
Does Master Williams has
"I want to hold a grand celebration" she said
Master William nodded
I look around and notice Alpha wasn't here , I thought everyone must attend breakfast in the dinner hall
I am very curious but I stop myself from saying anything
Because the last time I did that I was indebt with a billion dollars which I haven't gotten the money to pay complete
But curiosity got the best of me , as others were taking permission
I blurted out "Master William , shouldn't every member of the family be present for breakfast?" I ask him
He raise a brow "yes"
"I don't see Alpha"
He chuckle "oh that boy , don't mind him , he doesn't like eating with us because we talk about stuffs before we eat" Master William smiled
I blink , this is the first time seeing Master William smile or act happy and cheerful
"He's just like his mom , my wife , he never follows rules" he said 'My wife' as though it's the only wife he has
Master William sigh "if only she was here now "
"Why isn't she here?" I ask
"She's dead" he said sadly"she is and always will be the love of my life,before she left , she gave me the most wonderful gift my son Alpha...."
Master William continued talking about Alpha's mom and how much he loved her
I notice the hateful stares from everyone
I didn't blame them because no one could could eat until he stop talking and eat
The more he talked about it , the more I regretted asking
"Oh my! You must really love her very much that you didn't even notice the time you are taking to talk about her" I said to make him stop talking and it worked
He just chuckle shyly and started eating
I sigh in relief as we all began to eat
Immediately Master William left, Asher left too
I wonder if he is avoiding going and leaving the dinner hall with me?
As I walked out of the dinner hall, I was stopped by a group of girls
"So this is the bitch that has refuse to pay respect to me" a Lady glared at me
"Useless bitch" they insulted me
I stare at them
Ah! I remember who these ladies are , they are all daughter in laws of the family
"And why should I pay respect to you?" I scoff
"She is the first daughter in law of this family" a lady praise her
I roll my eyes "do I look like I care" I tried pushing my way pass them but they held me
The lady that said I should pay respect to her, walked to me "you will soon care and next time you will surely remember to pay respect to me!"
The ladies dragged me to a corner and started hitting me , I tried to fight back but they were too many
"Stop that" I heard a manly voice ordered
They all gasp and quickly scatter apologising
I groan in pain , he helped me up
"I'm so sorry"
I look at him"Alpha,you came at the right time"
I felt pain all over me ,I couldn't help but to be disgusted at them for dealing with me , there are other ways to deal with someone than physically abusing them and I bet most of them are mothers
I scoff
"You need to go to the hospital, you need treatment ... Those evil ladies how could they do this to you , I'm gonna deal with them" Alpha said angrily
"Don't!, I'll deal with them myself , you deal with Cecilia"I said
" Cecilia? "
"She took photos of us kissing and is threatening me with it" I said
"Well consider her fired"
"No , not fired , just take the evidence from her and make sure no one finds out , then I'll deal with her from there"
"You don't want anyone to find out?"he ask
" yes"
"That means you don't want anything between us?" He ask
I stared at him speechless
How should I answer?
I knew I wanted us to have something but I just feel guilty
"Or do you love Asher??"
"Of course not"
"Then why are you reluctant to go out with me?"
There is no way I'll love that idiot, not in this lifetime
I scoff " I wonder why i will be reluctant to go out with my brother in law , while I'm still married to his step brother, while staying under the roof of their father" I said sarcastically
He smiled "that wouldn't be an issue , all I have to do is ......."
"Wait, how could you even think I love Asher,do I look like someone who have a thing for idiots or stupid people , or do I look like an idiot!" I cut him off flaring up
I can never love Asher , NEVER!
I'll make sure of that!
Cheryl POVI walk pass Alpha angrily, he tried calling me back but I didn't answerI was really angry for that word he saidI know I'm not suppose to be angry since Asher is already my husband but because he's stupid , I'm very annoyed about what Alpha askedI sigh, I have to start planning on my divorce immediately after the day the contract is to be signedI went to the room, I saw Asher studying, he look at me "what happened to you?" He askHe came closer to me and touch my face "who did this to you?" He said angrilyI stared at himSometimes he doesn't behave like an idiotI shove his hands from my face "I'm fine" I tried walking pass him but he held me "I'm not blind , you are hurt and someone did it""Yes , you are right, a group of daughter in laws did this to me but what can you do?, can you fight for me? Can you protect me?""Yes I can" he repliedI scoff " you can't, you are too scared to fight for yourself , how can you fight for me? " I remove my hands from his and walked
Cheryl POV I smiled all day, I supervise the punishment and made sure they were dealt with,in the end they received more beating than they inflicted on me. When I went back to our room, he was studying the document I sigh"Asher give yourself a break" I roll my eyes "do you want to kill yourself in the name of studying?" "I want to make you proud of me and besides I don't have any thing else to do" he said He want me to be proud of him, I smiled. I smirk"since you don't have anything to do, let me take you out, let's go shopping!" I'm gonna have to use part of that money He smiled and nod * I took Asher to a shop where they sell male clothing. "Choose whatever you like" I said to him He look uninterested "I'll take all the clothes in this row" he said Wow that's gonna cost a lot. "Okay" I told them to pack it up then I gave them my credit card "No! Don't pay for me" he brought out several credit cards from his pocket and gave them to me I raise a brow "They are all loa

He held me on my waist "I can see the gem for who she truly is"It was my turn to blush"If you girls are so jealous of her , you can try to be a gem but looking at how you behave I surely doubt that"I heard few chuckles , people in the restaurant were filming usPoor Cherry, the first time she got the courage to show her dislike for me, she got embarrassed publicly, I doubt she will ever get the courage again to insult meAfter Asher said those words Cherry ran out in tears,the rest girls glared at me"I don't know what you did to him that made him kiss you but I know all that love will soon be over" Rosaline saidLove???What love?Just because we kissed and he defend me doesn't mean that there is love between us"As long as she isn't being a bitch like
Cheryl POVIt's been a week since the kiss and I've been avoiding Asher , well there wasn't really any need to avoid him because he has been going out with Master William and so, didn't really have much time for me.I frown a bit as I stare at the ceiling in my roomThe fact that he didn't have much time for me got me a little upset ,but it's a good thing anyway.I told myselfI sigh, this week has been so boring, I didn't go out or talk to anyone, only my phone and my room even when I come out for breakfast I try as much as possible to avoid everyone.Figured I always get in trouble after breakfastI have been pondering about the relationship between Alpha and me , with all the attention that is now focus on my marriage , with all the care Asher has been showing , I don't want to feel like a cheat, I should straighten things out with Alpha but....Asher won't be a man enough for me because of his stupid attitude.I scoffHe didn't even know what made him have an erection!So it's not
