The cloud was up the sky that morning as Asher drove through to the Ashju facility with Tiara sitting quietly at the back. It has been a terrifying morning so far. Her stay, which hasn't been up to twenty-four hours, has already turned into one of the most terrifying hours she has spent in her life. Her obsession for Asher Atticus has begun abruptly, senselessly but now she is ready to walk away, to leave him to Julian Atticus. No. She wishes Julian would also leave him because deep down, she can tell Asher isn't the man everyone knows him to be. Beneath that usual calm expression on his face, Tiara can tell there is more.But she had already stepped into Ashju's mansion, and she couldn't take a step back now. She had walked into Julian's home and she couldn't suddenly say goodbye without a good cause. Already resigned to fate, Tiara watch Asher from behind him. He had kept mute all through, and Julian also had kept quiet, very quiet after her mother-in-law had left. The two coup
" I was thinking she was one of our new clients " Kieran met up with Julian on the way. " Nope. She is my mom's personal assistant. Tiara Han. She will be working briefly here for the time being, She replied and then stopped at the entrance of her department. " What's on the agenda today? " " We got clients already waiting in the consultation room. We have them cosy with our delicious Chi Cakes and warm tea for the cold morning and there is something " " Sounds like it's going to be a busy day ", Julian replied absentmindedly as she scanned the lower floor for her husband, expecting him to walk in, but no. He didn't. At last, she inwardly assured herself he was probably making a call or surely he had met with one of his patients, and they were having a conversation outside of the facility. Julian walks into the large office with Kieran by her side, and the rest quickly get up to welcome her back. " Good morning, Dr Julian ", They greeted in unison and in response, she let out a
The rain has already begun to pour. Diamante and Janet took their seats across Julian while Kieran stood beside Her quietly. After a few seconds, while they were settling down, Indigo brought in the tea cups for the two clients. As she placed it before her, She looked around the room, noticing the tense atmosphere; she stayed back, curious about what was going on. " What's up? " She mouthed to Keiran, who shrugged his shoulder as though to tell her he was also in the dark. " Narasima and Janet live in the Landon community. You know there, right? " Diamante finally began, asking Julian, who racked her brain briefly before shaking her head in the negative. " Dr Julian, I know Landon Community, " Indigo said quietly. " It's a swamp. My mother and I lived there before we got help from you and Dr Asher. The place is horrible, I can tell you " Upon hearing this, Janet turned to Indigo and swallowed hard as she asked. " Does that mean you are aware of what happened four months ago? "
The silence that fell between Julian and Douglas seemed to be loud enough. She wonders if she has heard right." How do you mean, Douglas? " She asked now, quietly. " I mean... Why won't Asher come in? Where would he possibly go to? " Douglas didn't give an answer right away. Instead, he allowed his eyes to be fixed on the wife of Asher's face. The thought of her suffering in darkness for a long time now crossed his mind, and then he swallowed hard. Douglas braced himself to inform Julian about the TS syndrome, about the conversation he had with Asher the previous day when the call came from behind them. " Julian? " The lady stiffens abruptly upon hearing the familiar voice of her husband. It took all her self-control before she could keep herself calm and professional. Gently, she turned around to lace her eyes on her husband, and she saw him, the man who had lost his cool for the first time before her that morning. Asher held onto the TS gas cure he had prepared. He also has a
There are many times Asher had stare at his wife and just wishes they had met on a total different circumstance where there will be no lies, no secrets but love, trust and children between them but unfortunately that has never been the reality. What has been between them so far are nothing but deep dark secrets and Toxic, obsessive love. She stood before him, in her office, the blind let down to give them privacy as she waited for his words but he seem to be debating on whether to admit it or not. He fears for her health. Both physically, emotionally and mentally. Too much that he is willing to undergo lot of self torture just to keep the ugly truth to himself. But as usual the plan didn't go his way. His wife needs a response. " Asher ... " Hee voice came again, this time tiredly. Asher saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and he swallowed hard. " I beg you, just.... Tell me. The relationship between you and Hattie ... Was it because of what her mother had done to you? " Again
" Fixed " Nico's words came through with Asher looking up to him. He had the IV stand up already, the drip moving through. They had added the TS gas cure into the fluid to the Castro's vein as well as other projects who were suffering from TS syndrome. At this, Nico pull back to breath tiredly. At that moment, Douglas open the door and walk in. " Dr Asher, The rest Projects are getting better. I checked their health status " He said as he extended the file report to Asher who quickly go through it. He swallowed hard when he saw the impact it had made in Just a short time. " They will regain their youth in no time " He whispers almost to himself before he look up to Diamante who sat quietly at the corner, scrubbed already. Asher passed the report file to Douglas before making his way to C. Project's wife. Upon seeing his advances, Diamante get up to take a low bow but Asher had other plans. He reached out, his hands covers in gloves. With this, he rested his palm soothingly on he
It was quiet in Asher's office. He sat there in his seat while Douglas sat across him, both not speaking to themselves. Instead, they are both waiting patiently for the call from Mr Atlas. The door opens gently when it was time for closing hour and Mini walk in. Asher didn't pay attention to her for a while. He was still busy thinking about his wife. " Dr Asher? " The call came from the young beautiful researcher and Asher shifted his gaze to her. " Can I stay? " This question was confusing at first but then he frown when he understands. " No. Stay out of it " He replied curtly before glancing down at his wristwatch. " Oh, It's already closing hour. You should go home " Mini who already knows Asher would never accept her help nodded and she said her goodbye and walk out of his office. She headed towards the exit but instead of hailing a taxi, she pull out her cellphone to call Julian. The cellphone ring for a few times before it was answered. " Sister ? " Mini's voice came thro
The sound of running footsteps came through, Piercing into the silence and compelling Asher and Douglas to look up towards the door. There, Nico rushes in, breathing hard. " Dr Asher. The projects. The projects ... " Asher and Douglas swung into actions very quick. They headed at once towards the labs. They stop at Castro's to see him speaking to his wife who was there, beside his bed weeping. Asher stood still, his heart right in his throat and then he pushed open the door slowly to walk right into the lab of C. project. Who is cursed completely. Asher walk right towards the bed very slowly, wondering if he gets it right at that moment. " Oh, Castro. This is the doctor. The ... The Triple Threat Genius who had ... Who cured you " Diamante was quick to introduce immediately she saw Asher and at once Castro look up to the man before him. Silence stretched, longer than they have intended. At last, the gentle voice came through. " I have only heard of you but setting eyes on you t
One year later" My God!, you are here today? Today of all day, Mrs Asher Atticus? " " Please. I need that Chi cakes before going to give my speech " Julian chuckled as she made her way to sit while wheeling her children in. Douglas had came earlier to take Asher Jr. With him and they have agreed to meet up at the award show event. Julian find herself way to lowered herself on the same seat she has occupied on the day Asher had brought her. When the memories flows, she smiled brightly. It was as though she could almost see him right there, staring at her while she wat her cake. After some minutes, she exchanged pleasantries with the Chi Cakes owner who had served her and then made her way into her car. " We will be there soon, Babies. Be a good girls and do not cry " She said to her baby girls with a smile as she drives away. A year had passed after The world lost it's best and most competent doctor. They mourn the good hearted man for a long time. The whole country shook at hi
The News has spreads like wildfire. Asher Atticus, also known as the triple threat genius has his quintuplets born a week ago. The Ashju mansion was then onward frequent. They had the support from friends and the few family that are honest. Salina haven't returned home ever since and Tiara has stayed behind too, this time, with a good intention. Julian's colleagues were there to rejoice with her and Douglas who had always wanted to stay at Ashju mansion finally saw his opportunity. Donny made a public post to announce his best friend's children and his fans went crazy with the post, rejoicing and asking if she is a love interest. A week has passed by buy Julian haven't recovered from the shock just yet. Yes, she is excited for the arrival of her children but the incoming doom won't let her mind be at complete rest.

The Ambulance skidded to a stop before Ashju Facility and a stretcher was brought out immediately.

Fast " Asher instructed his best friend who had received his sudden call. " Alright " The staff in Ashju facility that night were beside themselves with awe when Julian was wheeled into the labor room. It is not yet time for her to give birth but the trauma she had passed through for the past weeks and the sight of her husband she had seen a whole ago all triggered everything.

Quickly, Hannah give Indigo a call while Mave give Keiran a call. It wasn't long before They all came trooping into Ashju facility that night. " Where is she ? " Kieran was quick to ask. " Where is Dr Julian? " " In the l
Two weeks has passed by, Dragging after the horrifying death of Mr Atlas. His funeral was done a week after his death and everyone of their colleagues had attended. No one has ever recovered and no one will. Julian has cried but no one has cried harder or mourn the death of her father like Asher had done. He is after all his confidante, the one who had stood up for him for a very long time. That late evening, As Julian made his way into her husband's study, to tell him about the dinner she had made, her heart race in anticipation. She wonder what she'd meet him doing. It has been a well planned accident that had killed Moore and Ryker , Mr Atlas's men immediately and when He also has been dying away, He had called upon Donny who arrived as quickly as he can.

" When are we going for a new ultrasound scan that will tell us the gender of our babies? I mean, I am all healed now. All cured. Both from the TS syndrome and grief " It is a nice morning in the house of Julian Atticus. One that was filled with laughter. The couple sat in their dinning room, discussing, and taking their breakfast. They are also dressed for work. The previous day has been one to write home about. There has been no call from either of their parents but they had been understanding and much love between them. " We can make the Ultrasound scan today if you want. Your husband own the facility " He replied with a smile, making Julian to blush for a moment there. She lean over to kiss him and he gently slide his hand around her waist but Julian was quick to pull back when it is safe. " Not this mornin
Asher stare into the eyes of Julian, His wife. He could tell she is clearly shaken by the truth, the one she had always wanted to hear. He watch her gulped down the pill without any hesitation and then she look up at him again, this time in deep silence. Slowly, he saw her moving far away from him as though to prevent him from being affected to the TS syndrome, the parasite inside of her but he caught her wrist at that moment and slowly pulled her in for a kiss. Julian was momentarily stunned at first. She do not wish to implicate her husband. She wriggled free from his tender grip and quickly get up on her feet but she didn't last long before she felt dizzy and fell into the hands of Asher. " Shock? " He asked her quietly and got a moment there she couldn't speak. At last she nodded and he carried her up as though she weigh nothing less than zero pounds. He headed into the bathroom where he laid her down inside of her bathtub and then fill the tub with water. Julian laid back n
It was a deafening silence that spread through the entire bedroom. Julian who have been listening to the bitter story, who has been weeping quietly suddenly felt her heart skyrocketed at the twist in his words. Slowly, she looks down at her hands and back to his face as though to confirm if she have heard right. " TS syndrome? " She asked, with her heart racing and Asher nodded. " Yes. You are the host. Anyone who comes near you, a few feet is doom. They lost their youth. Your genes, your blood is dangerous to the humans. But to yourself it's not harmful " " I thought... I thought it was you who is harmful to humans " " Well, I am. I won't deny that i have committed murders as I grows up to understand some people are better left silence forever " " How come... No one around me grow old since these years? " She asked cautiously, her heart racing and he continues.

The rain had already started falling and Julian was seated before her husband the bed. He have her rested her back on the bedstead, as he let out a long sigh before he began at last. " There are times I have decided to tell you all about this and I am glad today is the day. A day that I found the cure at last. " I was six, At that time when my parents noticed I am different. My genes... I got more than two genes. One that grant me intense knowledge and the other that makes me immune to all diseases. " My mere presence heals cuts and all. I am their golden boy and they used me to get what they have always wanted. At that time, my father wanted to step into the world of politics but whoever wanted to step into the party has to go through Rally Lud. " She is a great scientist of G. Medical care and my father had a meeting with her one cold morning like this one. That day, She saw me for the first time. Take interest, alright but didn't push her luck.

She turn to Julian who had kept quiet all the way and then gently placed a palm on her shoulder, making her jerk in somewhat fear. " We are here " She announce gently to her, making Julian to swallow hard. Gently, Julian alighted and Mini did too. Together, they headed into the Facility.
