"I'm so tired." Asher said stretching himself up by getting up from the bed. He walked towards the balcony and opened the door. The fresh air passed through him making him shiver."Ahh... How beautiful. I missed this beautiful view." Asher said to himself smiling looking at the big beautiful garden of Blake's Mansion. Just then, he noticed someone watering the plants in the garden. The gardener of Blake's house. Working from past 30 years in the same mansion, Asher loves him a lot and he always used to play around with him since he is a child. "Uncle Charlie..." Asher yelled out loud and the man who is in his 50's turned around to see the person but he noticed none.Asher chuckled looking at him and yelled again, "Uncle Charlie, here... Look up." Asher yelled again and then the old man looked up at the sound of the voice."Asher..." Charlie yelled back."How are you? I missed you. I have asked about you. They said, you were on leave." Asher yelled smiling."Yes, Dear. I'm good by t
"What is wrong with this guy? Why isn't he answering my calls?" Kylie said annoyingly keeping her phone on the dining table and continued having her breakfast. "Kylie, are you done?" Henry asked walking inside the dining room."Yeah, Uncle Henry. I'm almost done. How's mom doing?" Kylie asked as Henry sat down on the chair beside her."She is doing better now. As you know, doctors told us to take her home today." Henry replied and She nodded smiling."Yeah. Did you have your breakfast?" Kylie asked and Henry nodded."I did." Henry answered smiling patting her head and she smiled at him."I am just glad that mom is okay right now. But... I'm still not sure what is going on with her and why is she so stressed out about." Kylie said sighing keeping her spoon down on her plate and Henry blinked his eyes at her."Uncle Henry, did Aunt Sarah told you anything about what's going on with mom these days?" Kylie asked and Henry frowned thinking."Um... No, Sweetie. She didn't say anything... I
Asher walked down the stairs and walked towards the dining room. As he was about to reach dining room, he heard his dad's voice... Seems like talking on the phone. He frowned hearing the conversation and realised he was talking to his brother Damon. But he doesn't understand why his fatehr looks like he is trying to convince him for something... The conversation he heard was not clear since he is only hearing it from one side but he is sure about something that his brother and his father isn't in good terms... He realised a deep breath throwing his head back in the air realising that his brother Damon is just like his father. They both are similar in their personality and pretty stubborn.He really doesn't understand how they both get into bad terms when they were all good until the last few months of him leaving New York. Asher thought, they would come around but he heard from his mother that, they both always bricker around about things and projects. He also heard that, Asher st
"Mr. Blake, we are here." The driver said and Asher looked up at the hospital. He took a deep breath grabbing the white roses, a fruit basket and got out of the car.He walked inside towards the receptionist. "Hello, I want to meet Mrs. Olivia Madison." Asher said."Can I know your name, Sir?" The receptionist asked."Asher Blake." Asher answered and Receptionist nodded her head in yes."I'm sorry but I'm afraid you can't meet her." The receptionist said."Why? What's the problem?" Asher asked."Mr. Henry denied visitors." The receptionist answered and Asher sighed."It's fine... I will take care of it. Allow me to her room." Asher replied."I am sorry, Sir." The receptionist said and Asher nodded."Alright. Thank you." Asher replied and turned around. He was about to walk away from there when suddenly he heard some woman calling him."Asher..." Asher turned around to see Sarah with a coffee in her hands.Asher smiled brightly seeing her and walked towards her."Aunt Sarah..." Ash
“So, how are you doing?” Olivia asked as Asher forwarded her orange juice. “Well, I’m doing good…” Asher answered with a tight smile making Olivia raise her eyebrows at him. “Good? Only Good?” Olivia asked and Asher slowly nodded his head in yes. “Yeah… only good.” Asher answered and Sarah smiled at him. “Why only good? Ain’t you a guy who would love to live a life with your terms? Your life should be extraordinary… Since, there is no way, it can be ordinary.” Sarah said and Olivia nodded her head at her. Asher chuckled looking at the both the ladies he admire the most in his life. “Well, yeah… you are not wrong. But… you know, life will hit you sometimes so badly. You won’t have any choice but to just let go of those things and move on… which you feel is better than holding it on?” Asher said but it more of like a question to them but Sarah, Olivia aren’t clear about what exactly Asher is talking is… but Olivia did realise that, Asher is kinda right at one point. No one can hold
"Henry... Finally you are here. Look, whose here." Olivia said smiling at Asher and Henry stepped inside with a smile but his eyes says something else looking at Asher."Asher is here... How nice!" Henry replied smiling but Asher can see that Henry is not really happy with his presence here but well, Asher knows that he had to face him if he is coming here and so, took the risk."How are you, Asher?" Henry asked raising his eyebrows but Asher understood what Henry meant by his words.Asher just wants to know what's going on and he realised that, Henry definitely know something or else, he won't be angry on him if Damon and Kylie broke up with mutual understanding. And he frowned upon one question when Henry asked if Damon sent him to spy on Kylie? Why would he ask that question in the first place? He should know if Damon and Kylie broke up or not? If did, why would Damon sent anyone to spy on Kylie?"Asher... Where were you lost?" Olivia asked shaking Asher's hands and he blinked his
"How can he do this to Kylie, Henry? How dare he?" Sarah yelled with tears and Henry sighed."I am not sure..." Henry answered."Not sure? How can you not? That girl had lots of hopes on him. She trusted him. She loves him more than herself! How can he do this? Didn't you ask him?" Sarah asked holding his hand and Henry shook his head."I can do nothing, Sarah. He gave up on Kylie... I did slapped him and punched him. But... It's no use. I will punch him forever if he changes his decision but... He is married now." Henry answered with tears rolling in his eyes."God... How can this happen? How... What about... Kylie now?" Sarah asked keeping her hands on her forehead with tears rolled down her eyes."When do you know about this?" Sarah asked suddenly raising her head looking sternly at him."I... I... Umm..." Henry stuttered."When do you find out about this?" Sarah yelled and Henry sighed."Day before yesterday." Henry answered and Sarah's eyes widened."And you didn't tell me about
"Don't tell anything to anyone. Okay? Just hold on to yourself for a few days. I will try to figure out something until then. But, Kylie will eventually know about this. So, we can't do anything and Don't let Mrs. Madison doubt you. I will go talk with Asher." Henry said and Sarah took a deep breath."Tell him... To never come meet Olivia or Kylie. And his brother to stay away from Madison's." Sarah replied wiping her tears away and Henry nodded his head in yes."I will. Go, wash your face and help Mrs. Madison. We need to go home with her." Henry said and Sarah nodded her head. Henry gave her a tight smile and a tight hug before he walks away from there leaving her alone."God... Why are you punishing Kylie like this? I just hope... She finds her happiness soon. She suffered enough already... Give her a break." Sarah said taking a deep breath and walked away from there.Asher got up from the couch seeing Henry walking out of the elevator furiously towards him. Henry is not like ever
In her eyes, Kylie deserved justice, compassion, and relief from the pain she had endured. The weight of the realization settled heavily upon Riya—she had become the reason behind Damon's coerced marriage, the very reason Kylie continued to suffer. It was an unbearable truth that gnawed at her conscience, leaving her grappling with a mix of emotions.Conflicting feelings swirled within Riya, making it difficult for her to discern her true sentiments towards Damon. Disgust, hate, and pity intertwined, creating a complex tapestry of emotions. She couldn't shake off the fact that she had invested her life and love in a man who, despite not being directly responsible for the murder, carried the guilt of causing Kylie's profound loss. The realization struck her deeply, leaving her questioning the choices she had made and the path she had pursued. It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that she had dedicated herself to a man entangled in such a heart-wrenching situation.Riya's emotions w
Her own father, the man she had loved first and foremost, who had once opened her eyes to the wonders of the world, had played a sinister role in her life. Not only had he coerced Damon into marrying her, but he had also concealed the dark secret that her beloved husband was a murderer. The weight of these revelations crashed upon Riya like a relentless storm, leaving her mind in a tumultuous whirlwind of emotions.The mere mention of Damon's name now carried a sinister undertone. He was her love, her husband, and yet the label of "murderer" haunted her every thought. Confusion and disbelief swirled in her mind, as she struggled to reconcile the image of the man she adored with the horrifying truth he had concealed.Despite knowing Damon's true feelings for Kylie, Asher remained silent when he discovered that Damon had chosen to marry Riya instead. His silence cut deep, leaving Riya grappling with a sense of betrayal from someone she had considered a confidant.In this complex labyrin
Damon's voice was barely above a whisper as he finally responded. "I know, Asher. I messed up. I realize that now," he admitted, his voice heavy with remorse. The pain in his words mirrored the torment he felt within. He had witnessed Kylie's anguish, yet he remained silent, fearing the loss of her love. He understood the magnitude of his selfishness and the consequences it had brought upon them all.Asher's eyes narrowed, his frustration palpable. He seized the opportunity to voice the overwhelming disappointment he felt towards his brother. "You are selfish, Damon," he declared, his words biting with a mix of accusation and bitter truth. "You wanted her love, so you kept silent. Then you wanted to maintain your social standing, respect, and connections, so you went ahead and married Riya. If you truly loved her, you would have gone to her and confessed everything. She deserved at least that, to know that you were an honest person willing to accept your mistakes instead of running aw
Damon, driven by his desperation to be understood, sought to clarify his intentions. Rising from the floor, he pleaded earnestly, his voice tinged with remorse and sincerity. "No, Asher, it's the truth. I truly do love her. The death of her father was an accident, a tragic twist of fate. How could I intentionally harm someone, especially the father of the woman I hold so dear? And as for Riya, I was coerced into marrying her. It wasn't my choice. Please, Asher, I beg you to believe me. Give me a chance to explain myself, to shed light on the circumstances that led to this tangled web of deceit," Damon implored, his eyes searching Asher's face for a glimmer of trust and understanding.As Asher sat there, his mind drifted back to the day he decided to confront Damon about his actions. It was a day filled with anger, confusion, and a desperate need for answers. The incident that had driven a wedge between them had been haunting Asher's thoughts ever since, and now was the time to seek th
Ashton, on the periphery of this tense exchange, lets out a bitter chuckle. The bitterness that tinges his laughter reflects the bitter truth they all face—a truth that Asher refuses to accept. The room becomes a pressure cooker, the weight of their actions and the consequences they seek to avoid bearing down upon them with an unyielding force.Asher's voice trembles with a potent mix of anger, frustration, and disappointment as he confronts his father's callousness. His words cut through the air like shards of ice, each syllable carrying the weight of his deep-seated resentment."You are cruel beyond measure," Asher's voice drips with a bitter disdain, his words laced with venom. He had hoped, even for a fleeting moment, that his father would acknowledge Kylie's pain in his self-serving monologue. Yet, Thomas's omission fuels Asher's righteous indignation. He lays bare the painful reality that Kylie has been forced to endure—the loss of her father, her mother's misguided blame, and t
Ashton's control snaps, his pent-up frustration and anger erupting like a volcano. Without hesitation, he delivers a powerful punch to Damon's stomach, the impact causing Damon to double over in excruciating pain. But Ashton's rage refuses to abate. Blow after blow rains down upon his brother, a relentless torrent of punches, each one driving Damon closer to the edge of surrender.Damon crumples under the onslaught, collapsing to the floor, his body wracked with coughs that splatter crimson droplets upon the ground. Helpless and broken, he offers no resistance, accepting the punishment as a grim penance for his transgressions. In this moment, he feels a twisted sense of relief, as if the physical pain inflicted by his own brother is a tangible representation of the pain he has caused others.Meanwhile, Thomas, a passive observer, watches the scene unfold with a mix of annoyance and detachment. He rolls his eyes, seemingly unimpressed by the spectacle of violence before him. His noncha
He struggles to process the unimaginable truth that it was his own brother who inadvertently caused their father's untimely demise. The realization shatters his preconceived notions, leaving him at a loss for words and actions.Amid the turmoil within him, Asher's emotions threaten to overflow, his mind a cacophony of anger, sorrow, and bewilderment. He yearns to lash out, to demand answers, but the weight of the situation paralyzes him. He feels trapped, unable to decipher what course of action to take next.All the while, he can't shake the thought of Kylie, his one and only love, who had endured the wrath of their father's blame all this time. It dawns on him that she suffered unjustly, her reputation tarnished by a mistake that wasn't hers to bear.Overwhelmed by the realization of the depth of Kylie's sacrifice, Asher's heart fills with a profound mix of remorse and empathy. He longs to find solace in her embrace, to apologize for the pain she endured. Yet, in this moment, his mi
Damon's actions, which included hiding the truth from Kylie, breaking her heart, and now attempting to undermine her in the business realm, appeared to Asher as a deliberate attempt to bring her down. However, he knew deep down that Kylie possessed an innate intelligence and resilience that made her difficult to defeat in such a manner.Confusion and conflicted emotions swirled within Asher. He grappled with the complexity of the situation, torn between loyalty to his family and the undeniable bond he felt with Kylie. As the truth continued to be shrouded in secrecy, he couldn't help but wonder how these tangled threads would ultimately unravel. Thomas exuded an unwavering certainty, firmly convinced that Kylie harbored ulterior motives and would stop at nothing to achieve her own ends. He believed he was imparting this belief onto Damon, shaping his son's perception to align with his own. Thomas was acutely aware that if Kylie were to discover the truth—that he was responsible for h
The words tore through the air like a sharp blade, fueled by Thomas's aggression and righteous anger. "That doesn't change the fact that you are her dad's killer," he spat out, his voice seething with accusation. Damon's world shattered in an instant, his mind struggling to process the damning words hurled at him. The sheer audacity of his own father, manipulating the truth and implicating Damon in a crime that he himself had committed, left him dumbfounded and emotionally battered.The weight of this revelation bore down on Damon, the realization sinking deep into his bones. How could his own flesh and blood be so conniving, so capable of inflicting unspeakable harm on others, even after enduring their own profound pain? It was a maddening thought that gnawed at Damon's consciousness, leaving him questioning his very existence and the depths of human depravity.Meanwhile, Asher found himself immersed in a sea of bewilderment, desperately trying to make sense of the perplexing puzzle
