" You are joking. Really? " " I wouldn't tell lies even if I wanted to. I'm actually a virgin. I don't know. I think I should focus more on my job than flirting around. Don't you think? " Julian heard Mini's words, and she sighed. They are both in the dining room now, setting the table. The relationship between them has now changed so much. Mini now considers Julian her elder sister while Julian relaxes more with her as her younger one. They finished setting up the table at last and Julian sigh before looking towards her husband's study " I will go calm upon my husband, Mini. You should bring in the wine. Asher loves the white after rainfall " " Alright, Dr ... " Mini stops right there to swallow hard. " Dr Julian, I know it's a lot to ask, but can I ... Make you do me a favour? " Julian paused now to look up at Mini, who bit at her lower lip. " Go on. What's wrong? " " I know it's sudden and all, but the moment I set eyes on you, I have liked and respected you. And ... I have
Julian remembered the dinner had ended very nicely as she had washed the dishes with Mini's help. Afterwards, Mini cleaned the dining room while She has gone to take her bath and dressed up for bed. When she has walked out of the room, Mini is ready to leave. Julian had wished she could sleep over but she already knows her husband won't permit such. She has gone to call upon Asher, who has left for his study immediately after eating, just to tell him Mini will be on her way. Asher has only nodded and then mutters a few words. " Tell her to be careful on her way back " Mini has been grateful for the dinner. She has walked out of Ashju's mansion after waving at Julian, who calls a taxi for her. They both parted ways with a smile. After Mini's departure, Julian sat in the living room for some time to check if her favourite show had added another episode, but when she saw the author had not, She decided to go to bed, only she couldn't sleep without her husband. She had called upon
The morning sun came pouring down on Ashju mansion, filling the Bedroom of the lovely couple with a gorgeous glow. It had been a hell of a day and night for Asher, and there he lay, fast and sound asleep that morning, when Julian suddenly jerked awake due to a sudden sickness. She hurries towards the bathroom and slam the door shut, waking her husband who was sleeping. Asher raised his head to listen, and when the sound of Julian struggling came to him, he swiftly got up from the bed to dash towards the bathroom, but the door was locked, which stunned him. " Ju? Julian? " He called in concern, his heart now began to race in worry. " Julian, open up. What is going on in there? " He was stunned, confused about why she had shut the door when Julian's voice came through, struggling. " I'm fine, just... I'm just ... I will be out soon," She replied to him breathlessly as she tried to watch how and to regain her lost breath. She turns to the lock to see it's already activated. In her

You are pregnant " Immediately after this news from the Doctor was heard, Julian, who sat across from the doctor, felt her heart sink. She wonders if she has heard him right. " How ... How do you mean, doctor? I ... I have only come for a check-up on why I have been weak lately " " Exactly ", The doctor responded with
Mrs Atlas, an elderly, beautiful, and vibrant lady, was preparing for the night when the maid, Gracia rushed into the living room; her eyes widened with so much horror. " Ma'am... Jully is outside... Crying " At these words, Salina chuckled. " You must be mistaken. My daughter is obviously with her husband. It's late. Why will she even be here? " Her question didn't last for minutes before the door opened, and Julian walked into the living room with her traveller's and duffel bags as well. She stops at last in the middle of the well-furnished room to stare at her mother. Her eyes teary. Silence fell. Words couldn't be spoken. One can tell from her pale lips and face that she had gone through a lot that night alone. Mrs Atlas was shaken and stunned at her daughter's state. However, she didn't speak or ask questions. Instead, she spread open her arms for her only child to come in. Julian forgot her adulthood at that moment to hug her mother. Tears streaming down her
It has been one of the craziest schedules for Donny Star, and he couldn't be more than happy when he stopped his car before his Villa at one of the Quiet Estate he owned in Brooklyn Heights. Carefully, he alighted and walked right into the building, letting out a sigh when he perceived the scent of home. He pulled off his T-shirt and headed towards the bedroom when, all of a sudden, he stopped. He noticed the difference in the hallway. He remembers he had kept the lights off but now they are on. His eyebrows furrowed in a curious frown as he made his way through carefully toward the living room. In that particular Villa, he has no maids. He has made sure they only come thrice a week to clean up, but they shouldn't overstay. Just like the majority of celebrities, Donny loves his peace and space. He emerges into the living room to freeze. The one who had violated his security and walked into his home unannounced was his childhood friend. Someone he had never expected to show up a
FOUR MONTHS LATER " Uhm... Miss Julian. Here are the results. I uh... I am sorry to say that you are in a very delicate situation. Your baby is growing inside of you abnormally. I will advise you to visit the Ashju Facility in New York. There is a scientist there who specializes in a rare situation like this one. Thank you so much, " The doctor said to the lady before him, expecting an answer, but none came through. Julian didn't speak a word as she rose to her feet and headed out, her palm on her flat belly. The reports have been all the same. No Doctors could pinpoint her illness. They'd only say her baby is growing abnormally and then urge her to visit Ashju Facility, to visit a scientist who is the best in curing the rarest disease. How could they direct me to the very demon who did this to me? How could they? With her lips pale, she left the hospital and walked to the car, which was waiting for her. The journey back home begins, giving her time to reflect on her actions
Julian's eyelids fluttered open, and she looked around tiredly, breathing softly. She could see the familiar chandelier and also perceived the familiar scent of the rose flower in the garden which was only located in Asher's Mansion. She smiled now, wondering why she was having a weird dream about the man she loathed. Slowly, she sits up and rubs her eyes. " Donny? " She called sleepily but no answer came through. " Donny? Are you there? I need to use the bathroom. Can you help? " There was no response but there was an offer. A palm was extended to her and she smiled at it. Slowly, she looked up as she wanted to take this palm only to lay eyes on the very last person she wished to see. Asher Atticus. The slumber in her eyes vanished away at once, and she looked around frantically to see she was back in the room she had once called her matrimonial bedroom. Then she waited for a while, allowing the memories to rush back in, making her feel more irritated than she could eve

" Mini, if I may ask, how did my husband meet you? " Julian asked in curiosity while she was making dinner with Mini helping out. The young lady heard the question from her boss's wife and then smiled. The dish she was washing was right in her hand. She set down the last one carefully and then turned to lean on the kitchen counter. " It was on a cool day like this one ", Mini began with a small, sad smile while Julian leaned against the counter, too, as she listened. " About three months ago when I was about to be sold to a brothel " Julian pulls back in awe as she raises an eyebrow in somewhat surprise. " What? " " I am an unwanted daughter to my family. I don't know but they just never wanted me. Everything I did, every sacrifice was overlooked. My mom died at my birth and my siblings hated me for it. My dad abandoned me from childhood and I grew up while trying to make ends meet for myself as well as for my siblings " " Why? They are older than you are " " And also lazy. The
Asher stood still under the shower, allowing the water to pour down on his body while he permitted the thoughts to circulate in his mind. " Accelerated aging and it isn't TS syndrome. That means something wrong is going on out there " He mutters inwardly. At last, he steps out of the bathroom and emerges into his bedroom while he grabs the towel to wrap around his waist. He glances at Julian for some seconds before walking towards his closet. She is still relishing what they had just done and, of course, still recovering. " You are going somewhere? " Julian asked her husband while looking at him from where she lay down tiredly. " Yeah. I have to grab some pills from the pharmacy to add to your cure. Would you like anything so I can get it for you? " He asked her as he dressed up. Julian went silent for a while, not thinking about his words but staring at him from behind and allowing herself to be mesmerized by how gorgeous he was. After Asher finished dressing up in a simple lo
The ride back to Ashju's mansion was silent but peaceful. Asher was relieved to see his wife doing better. She leans back in her seat to enjoy the luxury that comes with being married to him. Then she suddenly remembered her mother's call. " Oh, I forgot " She stated. " Asher, my mom called to ask about you. She saw the news " No sooner had she said this that Asher's cell phone began to ring. When he glanced at the screen to see it was his father, he ignored it. Julian kept mute at his actions. She didn't really understand the type of relationship Asher had shared with his parent during his younger years but she can take a wild guess that he hated them more than anything. " Come to think of it. I didn't meet any of my team today at the facility, " She said, as she tried to break the silence between them. " The health consultant team has some work collaboration with other facility. I gave them the order yesterday after you left " He replied gently. Before Julian could reply, Ashe
It was the pain in her lower abdomen that woke Julian from her deep sleep. She struggled to sit up and then gave a low groan as she tried to suppress the agonizing wince that threatened to escape her lips. While she was struggling with herself, she overheard her husband's voice from the balcony just ahead. He seems to be having a conversation with someone. " Asher? " She called out loud. " Asher?! " The voices stopped abruptly, and the sound of incoming footsteps was heard. Asher appears in no time to go down before his wife, wondering what has gone wrong with her in the space of a few minutes that he had left her alone in the office. " You okay? " He asked in wonder just as Douglas came as well from the balcony. " Ju? " " I'm fine, I just... I think I ... Goodness, Asher ... " She furrows her eyebrows as the excruciating pain persists. Asher, who understands what is going on with her, quickly lays her down on the couch. " Douglas, Please, some water ", Asher said to his best fr
It was a very long rainy day for the research team. At last, just towards the later afternoon, they finished up on C. Project and headed towards the CEO's office for analysis and conclusion of the day's work. Asher, who couldn't wait to meet his wife after keeping her waiting for hours, led the way as Nico gave some briefs while extending a file report to him. " Dr Asher, we received a similar complaint as the earlier ones from yesterday. Would you like to take a look at it? " " What is it all about? " Asher asked almost absent-mindedly. When Nico was about to respond, they had always arrived at Asher's office. The CEO pushed his door open but was forced to stop right in his tracks just at the doorway. The rest did as well when they saw Julian on the couch fast asleep. The rain has stopped, but the cold and cool breeze it brought along still lingers in the atmosphere. It had lured Julian to sleep, and Asher couldn't help but allow his eyes to roam around her. She is the epitome
Asher picks up his lab coat and lets out a long sigh before turning towards the window, where he looks up casually at the dark, cloudy sky. " Such a perfect weather ", He mutters to himself before he turns to settle his eyes on his wife, who is standing behind him. " Isn't the best time to be in bed, Ju? " Julian keeps mute. She walked towards him and carefully corrected his coat collar before resting her hands around his neck. With this, Asher pulls her closer by grabbing her waist tenderly. He leaned over after some seconds of staring right into her eyes, and he kissed her softly at first before she pressed herself closer to him, urging him further. Asher let out a soft groan as he kissed his wife hungrily and then lifted her to his desk, where she sat with her legs parted for him to stand right before him. He kissed her deeply, compelling her to moan softly with her fingers dug deep into his hair. He was filled with urge at that moment, and all he wanted was to strip her naked
