After the announcement, Asher’s team got lots of calls from ‘eye witnesses.’ But the majority of those who called only gave superficial explanations without evidence to prove anything, so their testimonies were rejected. The core members, like the driver who escaped from the car, refused to come out. It’s not because he wasn’t interested in the money. In fact, he came out to speak, but was apprehended by Anna and her crew, who offered him a bigger amount to go into hiding until the matter had died down. But unfortunately, Lisa’s move didn’t escape Asher’s knowledge. So, instead of traveling out of the country to hide, the driver traveled into Asher’s wrath... He was killed. That night, Asher paid a special visit to Lisa at her apartment. On arrival, she was already preparing to go to bed. The lady was amazed, at the same time, restless. Yesterday morning, he called her and warned her not to touch Anamika and ever since, they haven’t spoken. And now he’s standing right in front of
The next morning… At the hospital, Cora had been awake for a while, still she has no idea who the Williamsburgs are. Someone had come to check on her and had told her that he was a guard from the Williamsburg’s family and asked Cora about the accident. Cora had refused to speak because she had no idea if the Williamsburg family was her sister’s enemy or not. But after watching the news that had been trending since the day before, she finally got to know that Asher Walkers was a Williamsburg. With the hospital’s landline, she called the number that was on the screen and presented herself as a witness. Roy was elated after receiving the call. Together with Asher and Milo, they headed for Rose City that morning. The questioning was live and the reporters who were hungry for gossip left no stone unturned as fished out every single knowledge they could get from Cora. With Cora leading the way, a few other people came out with whatever evidence they had. True, someone was able to catc
Arriving at the office, Quinn July re-watched the accident video again and wrote down the plate number of the ambulance, then sent some people to interrogate them of Anamika’s whereabouts. Few hours later, he got a call from the subordinates he sent to Rose City. The nurses who went with the ambulance said that they were intercepted on the way and Anamika and her children were taken away. Then, they were threatened not to speak about it. “Her injuries were too severe. We doubted if she’d make it.” The nurses had reported. After finding out the area they were intercepted, Quinn July got his people to look into the matter and the CCTV that might have caught the time that the ambulance was stopped. In the end, he found out that Lucian’s men were the ones who stopped the ambulance. Quinn July didn’t stop there. He ordered for Lucians men that were captured by the CCTV to be arrested and questioned. By midnight, he got feedback. When Lucian took Anamika and the children, Cullen asked
Quinn July arrived at Asher’s house, just in time to see him about to enter his car. “Asher,” he called. Asher paused and shifted his unfriendly gaze to him. “I’ve found her,” he added. Soon, the two could be seen inside a private plane, heading to Rivera. The space was filled with silence that could send one insane. None wanting to speak first. The silence lasted for minutes before Quinn July sighed and uttered. “I’m sorry.” Asher, who was leaning on his seat with eyes closed, didn’t respond. “I know you can hear me. My sister was wrong. You don’t have to forgive her if you don’t want to, but please, be lenient with her.” “Call off the wedding,” Asher requested languidly without opening his eyes. Quinn July stayed silent for a while before nodding. “Alright, it will be canceled.” After a few moments of awkward silence, Quinn July changed the topic. “It seems you’ve been planning for a long time to pin the crime on Lucian. What if it fails?” “It mustn’t fail,” Asher slowly
At the gym… Sweat-filled Taylor Smith could be seen running on a treadmill. A few guards were stationed around the empty gym that had only Taylor exercising. A guy standing beside the door, touched his earpiece. After a few seconds, he walked up to Taylor Smith and reported. “Boss, Asher Williamsburg and Quinn July from the Quinn family have entered the country.” Taylor slowed down his treadmill until it stopped. He took a towel from another guard who stepped forward and wiped off the pool of sweat on him. “At last.” He mumbled, then a villainous smile graced his lips. “What hotel are they in?” “King’s hotel,” The guard said. “Bold of him to choose my hotel,” Taylor snorted. “Pass my order. Make sure they have the best service… my donkey needs to be taken care of before killing it.” The guard lost his momentum for a moment. “K– kill?” He asked in a daze. Asher is not just a nobody. How can he think of killing him in their country? Country A won’t let them off!“Why? You have a
Taylor has been feeling somewhat ever since he met up with Asher. He had called and messaged his people and they’ve given him confirmation that Anamika was fine. A video of her was even sent, still, he can’t be rest assured. Asher and Quinn are still at the hotel and they’ve not stepped out of it. He checked the cameras he placed in their rooms and both of them were sleeping. Taylor ruled out the possibility that he might be paranoid, because he has no iota of trust for Asher. Asher gives him a vibe he cannot explain in words… a mysterious air hangs around him that if one were to tell Taylor that Asher was Lord Ash, he’d without a doubt, believe it. Feeling frustrated by his restlessness and feeling of dread, he messaged his people that were with Anamika again and he got a reply. Just as he was about to sigh with relief, his gaze shifted to the time of the reply. The message was delayed by one minute! Taylor frowned. That was not supposed to mean anything but to the paranoid Tayl
The lady pushed him off her and apologized but Taylor didn’t mind it. He wanted something else. He desperately wanted her. Right here and now! He pulled the girl closer, lowered his head and claimed her full kissable lips... It felt good! The guards were stunned, confused, and lost on what to do and think. Their boss is not the type to do things like this. The only woman he had ever kissed and touched was CEO Mika. On second thought, their boss is also a human with blood running through his veins. They were all men and understood that sometimes, their lust grows so strong that they can’t help but look for a woman to pour their milk into. After all, they take hard drugs, so they’re not like other average men. With that in mind, one of the guards stopped the elevator and they got out to give their master some privacy while they took the stairs. After climbing a few floors, they saw a male cleaner coming out of a room with his cleaning tools. He was about to take the elevator, but fo
Seeing that Asher wasn’t ready to speak, Taylor said, “If I kill you, your turfs will be mine,” he got up and pointed his gun at him. “Say hello to Cullen for me and tell him I’m disappointed at his worthlessness, Lord–“ The next moment, the door burst open and tear gas was thrown in. Immediately, a team wearing full tactical gear hurried into the room and apprehended everyone. “Taylor Smith, you’re under arrest for illegal activities…”By the time that the white smoke had subsided, everyone, except Asher was pinned to the floor while getting their hands handcuffed behind their backs. Nothing that the leader of the team said entered Taylor’s ears. His amused gaze was stuck on Asher, who was still sitting on the bed despite the heavy tear gas that had subsided a while ago. Taylor’s eyes and throat were still hurting but from the corner of his eyes, he could see Asher who was just taking the cloth away from his face. ‘So, this was what he meant when he said that I’ve lost? Is he
