Asher woke up to the blinding sunlight streaming into the room, causing him to blink repeatedly in an attempt to adjust to the sudden brightness. As he lay in bed, he reached out with his right hand to shield his eyes and attempt to catch a few more moments of sleep. However, as he shifted his body, he found that he was unable to move comfortably, prompting a furrow in his brow and a gradual opening of his eyes.With a confused expression on his face, Asher surveyed his surroundings and noticed that he was lying in a bed, which he soon realized was located in the guest room of Kylie's house.Asher's confusion grew deeper as he tried to make sense of his current situation. "How did he get here?" he thought, perplexed. He recalled being at the bar with his friend Stephen, but he couldn't seem to piece together how he ended up in Kylie's guest room.Suddenly, a soft groan caught his attention, and he turned his head to the other side of the bed. To his surprise, he saw Kylie sleeping bes
Kylie's frustration grew as she glanced at Asher, peacefully lost in the depths of slumber. The annoyance in her voice was evident as she muttered to herself, "Ugh... this guy... still asleep?"Determined to rouse him from his unconscious state, Kylie shook Asher, her actions accompanied by a loud exclamation, "Hey... you! Wake up, you little pig!" Despite her efforts, Asher remained undisturbed, his body stubbornly clinging to the blissful embrace of deep sleep.Frustration began to build within Kylie. She seized a nearby pillow and hurled it at him. The soft cushion collided with his slumbering form, yet his response was far from what she had hoped for. Stirring slightly, Asher mumbled, "Huh? Let me sleep some more," and lazily shifted his position. Kylie's irritation reached its peak, her voice now filled with a mix of exasperation and urgency. "Sleep? You've had enough sleep. Wake up!" Her words echoed through the room. Asher's response to Kylie's wake-up call was less than coope
"Breakfast is ready," announced Sarah, her voice carrying through the spacious room. Asher acknowledged her with an enthusiastic nod and a wide grin spread across his face."Good morning, Aunt Sarah," he greeted her as he rose from the couch and strode purposefully towards the dining table, his steps exuding energy and liveliness.Returning his greeting, Sarah raised her eyebrows inquisitively and directed her question towards Asher. "Did you stay here last night?" she asked.Asher glanced towards Kylie, who was engrossed in scrolling through her iPad, before answering, "Yes." He accompanied his response with a wink directed towards Kylie, eliciting a smirk from Sarah.Kylie stood up from the couch, still clutching her iPad in her hand, and made her way towards the dining table. With a look of concern etched on her face, she addressed Sarah, "I have seen that. Well, he was drunk last night, Sarah."Asher's expression soured at the mention of his drunken state, his shoulders slumping a
“Who is the girl...” Sarah abruptly interrupted Kylie, causing her to blink in surprise. Sarah then redirected her question to Asher, who was seated across from her. Her interruption left Kylie curious about Asher's response."Who is that girl you mentioned earlier at the bar, the one you got into a fight over?" Sarah asked, her voice filled with curiosity. Just as they were about to discuss the matter further, the sound of approaching footsteps caught their attention. All three of them turned their heads towards the source of the noise.Henry, walking towards them, joined the conversation and inquired, "Which girl are you referring to? And who ended up throwing punches?"Meanwhile, Kylie heaved a heavy sigh, her frustration evident. She scooped another spoonful of pancakes into her mouth, choosing to remain silent for the moment."Asher!" Sarah exclaimed, drawing a frown from Henry."What's up?" Henry asked, shifting his gaze between Sarah and Asher."Ugh, seriously, Aunt Sarah, I've
For Kylie, the world had ceased to exist. The only thing that mattered was the intensity of the moment they shared. Asher's touch was gentle and reassuring, and she felt herself melting into him. She could feel his heart beating beneath her, and it synchronized with her own.As they lay there, lost in each other's beauty, the air was thick with tension and unspoken desire. Time seemed to slow down, and the only sound was the rhythmic beating of their hearts.In that suspended moment, Asher couldn't help but be captivated by Kylie's radiant beauty. Her eyes shimmered with a hint of vulnerability, drawing him deeper into their enchanting depths. Every curve of her face, every strand of her hair falling delicately around her, seemed like a work of art. He marveled at how her features came together, creating a breathtaking sight that stirred his soul.Simultaneously, Kylie found herself utterly entranced by Asher's ruggedly handsome face. His strong jawline, chiseled features, and the way
Damon's voice reverberated through the room as he confronted Kylie, his tone filled with frustration. "This is completely out of your league, Kylie! You're crossing a line you shouldn't be crossing!" In response, Kylie let out a chuckle and boldly approached him, her eyes fixed on his."Crossing your line?" Kylie repeated, her gaze piercing Damon's soul. Seeking clarification, she continued, "So, what you did... wasn't crossing any line either, then?"Damon closed his eyes, fully aware of the subject Kylie was alluding to. With a sigh, he reluctantly spoke, "Kylie, please understand... This is about our respective companies." Kylie nodded, acknowledging the topic at hand."Yes, it's about the companies," Kylie responded, her voice laced with a hint of cunning. "And your companies happen to be your weakness. I know that, Damon. That's precisely why I struck a blow at your precious ventures!" Her smirk persisted as she continued to taunt him."You did an excellent job of concealing Mr.
"Alright. If you say so! It's a wild battle then!" he exclaimed, his tone reflecting a touch of reluctant acceptance. As the words left his lips, a smirk formed on Kylie's face. He couldn't ignore the fire in Kylie's eyes, her gaze fixed on him with a mixture of anger and anticipation.On the other hand, Asher's face contorted with concern and disappointment, his brows furrowing as he tried to dissuade Damon from his chosen path."Damon... Don't do this," Asher pleaded, his voice laced with a touch of desperation. He knew the consequences that awaited his e brother. the potential dangers and pitfalls that lay ahead. It was a plea born out of genuine worry, a heartfelt attempt to shield Damon from the impending chaos.Damon's gaze shifted from Kylie to Asher, his eyes clouded with conflicting emotions. He understood the risks involved, the potential harm that awaited him, yet he couldn't shake off the pull that urged him forward. His voice quivered slightly as he spoke, betraying his
Asher confronted Damon, his tone filled with a mixture of concern and frustration. "First and foremost, you need to accept the reality that she is no longer your girlfriend. It's crucial to remember that you are now married. Do you understand the significance of that?"Damon's response was filled with defiance and a sense of possessiveness. "To hell with it! I don't care about any of that. She will always be mine, no matter what. I love her so damn much, even to the point of death."Frustration evident in his voice, Asher pressed further. "Then why did you hurt her and choose to marry someone else? Why did you let it all fall apart?"Damon's admission came with a touch of remorse. "Yes, I messed up big time. It's because I'm a coward, plain and simple."Asher let out a deep sigh, his concern for his brother palpable. "Listen, I believe it's time for you to move on. There's nothing you can do to change the past. Besides, your relationship with Riya may not be as terrible as you think.
