When Asher's mother was pregnant with her first son, she had a miscarriage after drinking what a maid brought to her. Although the doctor said otherwise, Ms. Florida had her thoughts, so she became cautious since she didn't know who her enemies were. Also, she couldn't get anything out of the maid because her husband had allegedly taken care of the maid. During her second pregnancy, Ms. Florida found out that her husband was cheating on her. Because of the stress and circumstances of the situation her body was in at that time, she got another miscarriage. Her husband defended his innocence with tons of evidence, and she forgave him. But in her third pregnancy, a few weeks before she put to birth, news of her husband's infidelity hit her, but she refused to succumb to the pain of heartbreak she bore along with the difficulty of pregnancy. After she gave birth to Asher, she found out that the woman her husband cheated on her with was the same lady he denied knowing.Ms. Florida fought
At the Walkers... From where he stood, Cullen gazed intensely at Nadia for a long time. He couldn't remember taking an interest in any lady, so what was the child spewing? Even so, he decided to ask. "Little girl, what's your name, and who is your mother?" he tried to act friendly. "You are not qualified to know that, so stay away from my sister, you pervert!" Aiden puffed his chest as he stood in front of his father. Cullen narrowed his eyes at the little boy and asked, "Do you want me to spank you? Your parents ought to have taught you manners." Cullen wished to be mad at the kids, but their cuteness wouldn't let him. Instead, he glared at Uncle Ty and ordered, "Send the kids back to their parents!" Nadia sighed; talking to dumb people is tedious, so she shifted her gaze to the Old Man."Only a stupid person would believe your flawed theory. I might not have known my grandmother, but from how my great-grandfather raised my daddy, it is evident that my grandma was also raised
They don't understand how, when, or where Asher got these kids from because the Walkers have their own rules. Although Old Man Walkers has told the story of what transpired between Asher's mother and him, he didn't do so before the kids were born, meaning that Asher had been sleeping around since a long time ago. Everyone except the fuming Walkers, kept watching like hypnotized dolls as Aiden tore the wrap away from the gift, which happened to be a large frame of a gorgeous woman. "Is this grandmother?" Nadia asked. "Hm," the father nodded slightly. "Then why would you give such a worthless family an excellent gift like this? Grandma's photo will be safer with us, right sister?"Nadia nodded before she shifted her gaze to the Walkers. "You can continue your celebration; who knows, it might be your last." "Haha!" Cullen suddenly laughed and threw his bottle of wine to the wall. This time around, his patience was no more. While getting ready to rush to the kids, he proclaimed, "Ash
When Asher returned to his apartment, he ordered Roy to find out what happened at the hospital five years ago. Meanwhile, the twins were still kneeling when their mother entered their room. She sighed and waved for them to stand up before taking a seat on Nadia’s bed. “Why did you do that?” she asked. “Because Daddy was getting bullied,” Aiden replied. “Did he tell you he’s your daddy?” she frowned. “He didn't need to say it, Mum. It is obvious,” he added.“Don't call him your daddy anymore. Even if he is, he should earn the title and your protection… We are not a charity organization. Do I make myself clear?” She looked from one to the other. Seeing they don't want to obey, she raised a brow, daring them to be rebellious.“Yes, Mom.” they both answered.She nodded and after a while, asked, “What happened at Mr. Walkers' party?”“Mummy, they were bullying Daddy, especially that old man!” Aiden pouted. She glared at him, “I told you not to call him that, didn't I?”Aiden shrank hi
Anamika and Emma bolted to their feet and ran forward, and so did the guards, leaving Nadia alone with two guards. "Get the manager to turn off this f*king thing, now!" Emma ordered one of the guards who immediately nodded and ran off. "Mummy!! Ahhhh!!!""Son! Please hang in there, please, don't let go!!!" The thing was rolling. If he let go, he might fall on the complicated support structures of the round rollercoaster. "My arms are aching!!" "F*ck!" Anamika looked around her, there was no way she could climb a moving rollercoaster nor is she that wicked to make her guards do so. "Where is the Manager?! Someone, turn off this thing!!" She screamed like a crazy person. "Please, calm down, Mika. He'll be fine… Aiden, jump when the train is running through the straight lane!!" Emma screamed.Anamika's eyes lit up, "Yes, son, please jump, we'll catch you!!" "My hands are stuck! I can't!!!" The child was already crying now, causing everyone to panic even more. Everyone in the amu
“Bring that boy to me!” Anamika thundered. Roy, who was standing beside Asher, went behind the fat woman and dragged the boy away from his mother and made him fall to his knees in front of the fuming Anamika. “Why did you do that to my son?” she asked in a deadly voice. The boy ignored her question and snorted with his face turned to the side. The teenager was exuding an excessive amount of arrogance and self-importance that the only thing the people could think of as they looked at him was, 'A bully'!Seeing he wasn't ready to speak and that his mother was still screaming at the top of her voice to let her son go and threatening to sue everyone, Asher ordered. "Tie him up and throw him in the pool." he glanced at Anamika to gauge her reaction. Asher isn't a fan of dragging things but this matter concerns Anamika. She hates him already and he doesn't want her to be scared of who he really is, for fear that she might run away with their kids, so he had to be on the low and observe
“Don’t you come close to my child!” the woman screamed and stood in front of her son, hoping her dominant stance was enough to scare them away. However, it only sounded like a harmless barking from a toothless dog to Asher.Seeing the guards weren't ready to leave her son alone, she lowered her tone and tried to negotiate, “How much do you want? I can pay, please leave my son alone!” Still, nobody paid heed, and the boy was dragged away from her protection.“Mother! Save me, I don't want to go, save me, Mother!!” The boy’s wailing shook the people’s eardrums. He was too loud. The woman panicked. As the guards were moving further away with her kid, the desperate-looking woman ran after them and grabbed one of the guards by his leg, then screamed with snot running down her nose. “The Johnson… the Johnson family won't let you off if my son dies!” At her declaration, Asher and Anamika shifted their gazes to scrutinize her more, and murmurs broke out in the crowd. “Is she really the a
Anamika had lulled her kids to sleep off the horror they experienced some hours ago before she finally had time to sit and think. However, before she could do that, her phone rang. Looking at the caller, it was Emma, whom she had forgotten about at the amusement park. “Heey, I’m sorry. I forgot about you for a moment at the playground. Things were rough and emotions were all over the place. You know how it is when you are anxious?”Hearing how hard her friend was trying to explain, Emma’s laughing voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Hahaha… Oh, please, Mika, you sounded like a girlfriend explaining the reasons she cheated on her man.”Anamika chuckled, “That's not a very good subject to compare with, you know.”“Ah, really? I bet you haven't seen the drama you've created. Hahahaha…the anchormen and anchorwomen are killing me. Girl! You need to see the drama going on, all over the internet. You are trending!" she laughed out loud. "Don't f*ck with me. I haven't done anyth
At the hotel… Mr. Richard was amazed and proud of Anamika. Watching her teach those old men a lesson reminded him of how her mother was back then. The man sighed and emptied the glass of wine he was holding. The result of his investigation came out yesterday. Anamika is his daughter. After finding out, he told his family before embarking on the journey to seek his daughter. The Quinn family didn’t have much to say, except that they blamed him for just finding out. As for Lisa, she was having a hard time accepting the revelation. The sound of his phone ringing snapped him out of his thoughts. He picked the phone and checked the caller ID. It was an unknown number, but he decided to answer the call. “Hello,” his voice sounded. ‘Mr. Quinn, the Emperor is back from the meeting.’ Mr. Richard bolted up and hurried out of the hotel. … Arriving at the palace, he was brought to see Anamika in the throne room. Anamika hadn’t even stepped on the dais when the man entered. The father and
The other Presidents cleared their throats and shifted in their seats. They all owe debts. What if she asks them to pay up too? Scrapping their country banks together to pay off the billions they owe Hassride would crumble their economy, so, it would be better they all mind their businesses and live Country B’s president to handle his matter on his own. The old man glanced around, seeing that no president would come to his aid, he swallowed the lump of pride that was stuck at the back of his throat and sat down. “Your Majesty, it hasn’t come to that.” His heavy voice earlier suddenly went low. “As a businesswoman like you called us, we’re strict on marking our allies and curbing our enemies. If you could boldly look at our face and disregard our authority to vomit such atrocious venom, we can’t be guaranteed that you won’t stab us in the back when you see something that would jeopardize our country. So, on this basis, we hereby vote for your country’s removal from the Alliance Nati
Sitting on the deck with a bottle of wine and cake, the two watched the numerous stars in the sky. They’ve gone a bit far from their residence, but Anamika still doesn’t know why she was brought into the yacht. Neither did Asher want to say. Well, the sky looks beautiful from here, so it’s not a loss. Asher fed her a piece of cake. Just as she was about to accept it, her gaze zoomed in on a multi-coloured and sparkling something from afar. “What’s that?” she pointed. “We’re here.” The yacht moved closer until Anamika saw it was a multi-coloured waterfall! “Oh. My. God! How is this possible?!” “It’s the reason I purchased the island. It’s beautiful, right?” He asked. “No, the view is spectacular! Wow!” The yacht stopped a distance away from the waterfall where they could view it clearly. The light coming from the yacht and the multi-coloured Illumination from the waterfall brightened the area, so much so that one would almost forget it was night. “This, I must bring Emma here,
Asher and Anamika didn’t bring their bags, except for the roses she placed in a vase beside the window. The sun was slowly giving way to the moon by the time Anamika was done re-pruning the 99 roses and setting them in a vase of warm water to keep them alive for much longer. “We didn’t bring anything along.” She sat on the bed. From inside, she could view the surroundings, thanks to the glass doors and windows. The place only has one room, a kitchen, and bathroom. “Roy brought your necessities… everything is in here,” he opened the wardrobe for her to see. “Oh, you came prepared,” she looked down at her ring. She’s been caressing it ever since he wore it on her finger. A smile settled on her lips as she remembered his cheeky confession. Suddenly, she chuckled. “Mind breaking the good news to me?” he got into bed and hugged her from behind. “I was wondering. Since when did you realize you loved me?” She asked. Asher pulled her so she was sitting in between his legs while he wrapp
For the next couple of weeks, Anamika was trying to put the country together. She must learn all there was about the country and her Ancestors, replace some workers, bestow titles on the deserving ones, amend the rules to straighten the country and lots more. It would not be easy, which was why Asher didn’t return to Country A as planned. He stayed behind to help her in whatever way he could. Inside the office, Anamika was going through some documents when Lady Seraphina, who has officially been bestowed the title of Minister of communication, knocked and entered. “Your Majesty, Richard Quinn’s men are trying to spy into our data.” “What are they trying to find?” she asked. “About your mother and you.” Anamika raised her head from the document and looked at her, “Do what you think my mother would have done if she was alive.” Lady Seraphina understood the assignment. She bowed and left. Asher entered afterwards and hugged her from behind. “You’ve been on these documents for three
While Anamika and Asher were having the greatest time of their lives, their friends and families in Country A were having a hard time believing what they were seeing on the news. How did CEO Mika suddenly become the ruler of the greatest nations to ever exist? To crown it all, their worst nightmare! Aiden was excited when he found out he was a prince but for Nadia, she was worried about her mother’s safety. Their mother didn’t tell them she was going anywhere. In fact, they thought the ruler was probably their mother’s lookalike, or twin sister, until their great grandfather explained the situation to them. As for Emma, she was lost for words on what to say. She and her husband were supposed to go for their honeymoon today, but with Anamika’s case making waves in the country, she refused to go for her honeymoon until her friend returns. Who knows, she might be facing a lot there. If only she knows that the “a lot” her friend is going through is moaning while Asher’s rod thrust in
Inside the hall… Only Asher and Anamika remained. The two continued to stare at each other. One sitting on a high level and staring down at the other. “Your Majesty, may I come closer?” “One more disrespectful word from you and you’ll have your head severed!” “Thank you, Your Majesty!” Asher closed the distance and walked up the dais. Totally ignoring her warning. Anamika’s heart danced with glee but her face was as stoic as ever. Standing right in front of her, he said. “Your Majesty, I plead not guilty.” “...” Anamika was left speechless. This man… “Hassride has always had prejudice against my country, so when they saw me, they didn’t give me the benefit of the doubt and just apprehended me,” he flattened his lips. “Oh? Are you saying my country is unreasonable?” “Your people treated me with injustice. I was chained to the wall like a criminal…I also didn’t get anything to eat. I’m starving.” His gaze softened to the likes of Aiden’s when he’s trying to talk his way out o
In a dark dungeon, Asher, Milo, and Roy were chained to the wall. Roy had sighed in helplessness for a thousand times already. “Boss, what should we do now? If help doesn’t come, we’ll be killed before we know it. I feel sorry for madam and the kids,” he sighed again. “There’s still time,” Asher responded languidly with his eyes closed. “The situation looks brim. I shouldn’t have given this suggestion. At this point, I finally realized I was stupid.” “Right, you’ve always been stupid,” Milo stole the word from his mouth. “Milo, when was the last time we spared? I think we need to compare notes after leaving here.” “All I can see is death hovering over your head,” Milo said with a straight face. He’s never one to talk too much but at this point, he was angry at himself and everyone. When they came to Hassride, they tried to spy into the country’s history but failed to find anything. Later, they found out the man who can help them was put in the dungeon. Infiltrating the dungeon
This was exactly what Anamika wanted. To plant doubt in the man’s mind. Now, with him not knowing who to trust anymore or what to believe right now, his power has decreased greatly. Too bad she doesn’t have what it takes to back up her power of the tongue. Even though Seraphina said that everything is in place, Anamika has no idea what is in place. There was absolutely no time to discuss the preparations they’ve made, but anyhow, she’ll use her voice to fight for her rights. If it doesn’t work, then, Seraphina and the others can step in.“So, this is how you intend to unseat me? What if I kill you, I’ll be the only Emperor available and your people will no longer be able to fight against me. Before they groom another Female Emperor, it would be too late. How’s that?” Anamika smiled, “It’s your call. But do you honestly think you can kill me right here?” “No, everyone here is your supporter, and killing you in front of them would mean I leave evidence. Like you said, the people will
