Asher's pov"What I wanted to tell you is that I love you" I lied, my lips were shaking as the lie spilled from it. He looked directly into my eyes as if to search for the truth in my words.I had tried to tell him the truth but the words weren't coming. I found it hard to voice out the truth and tell him about my past because the shame was overwhelming."I just want to appreciate the love you have been showing me ever since we got married" I said softly, my voice wavering. Although my words were true but it's just a substitute of the truth I am afraid to voice out at the moment. "I knew how much you loved Lucy but you still chose to stay with me and respect our marriage vows, I'm so grateful for that" I said, my heart twisting in guilt."Are you really sure that this is what you wanted to tell me?" He asked, his tone heavy with meaning. I felt like a liar and I knew he could see it through my eyes."Yes" I said, my voice soft ."Alright babe, I love you too and I had never regretted

Asher's povI was about to tell Liam the truth about why I had agreed to the arranged marriage when my father's Cal interrupted me."I have to pick this call, it's my dad" I said and he nodded positively. I was used to keeping my phone on speaker and since it was my dad that was calling,I saw no reason to put it on silent. I just answered the call."Hello dad" I said, my voice calm."Hello sweetheart," my father replied. "How are you and your husband?" He asked with so much concern in his voice."We are doing well sir" I answered with a smile."Dr. Xavier mentioned that you two refused to have a bodyguard," my father said, his voice tinged with concern. "Why didn't you want to take the extra security?"Although we didn't tell them about Lucy, Liam's ex, and the threats she'd made. We only told them about the men who had attacked me at the hotel, telling them we have no idea of who they are. Dr. Xavier, Liam's father, had suggested we have extra security due to the attack."Dad, we wil

Lucy's pov"Ma'am there's someone in the sitting room asking for you," Pearl, one of the house domestic workers said as she roused me from my sleep."I've told you countless times not to try waking me up when I'm sleeping" I snapped at her.I was irritated to be pulled from my slumber, and my tone was harsher than I'd intended. But I was so exhausted, and I needed to have some rest."And who is that?" I asked."A man but I don't know him ma'am" She said. "Ok, I'm coming down right now"I said and stood up from the bed to go and check who the person was.As I walked into the sitting room, I became really annoyed. The person asking for me was the last person I wanted to see, it was Stanley, who had been pursuing me for weeks. I didn't have any interest in him, and I had made that clear to him at times without numbers. But he still keeps disturbing me. He refuses to take no for an answer.I was already exhausted, and the sight of Stanley only made my mood worse."How did you know where I

Liam's pov"Oh,because she's your first love, we shouldn't inform the police right" Asher yelled with frustration, we have been having a misunderstanding since the day Lucy left the letter on our room window. Asher was adamant that we should report the letter to the police but I was reluctant to do so."But baby, This issue is over a week now and we didn't even hear anything from her again, why do we need to report?" I said, pleading."I have been telling you to report Lucy from the start, but you refused" she said,the tension between us rose. "And now you're telling me it's over a week". Asher and I had never argued like this before. And what is causing misunderstanding is that we are unable to see each other's point of view. "It's okay, if you don't want to report it to the police, then you should call your father and tell him that we now need the bodyguard or I now need a bodyguard," Asher said again. "Liam, I'm really scared. It's my life on the line here." I knew she was right a

Liam's pov"What exactly do you want to gain from this, what Lucy?" I yelled at her over the phone. She had called me just a few minutes after I arrived at the bar to clear my head and think of the next action to take. "You are already causing problems in my new marriage, Lucy" I continued, my voice rising in volume. "You are not allowing me to enjoy my honeymoon. This is the best time for me to move closer to my wife, but you are not letting me. Please, leave me alone for the sake of the love we've once shared, please, allow me to enjoy my marriage in peace" I said, my voice cracking.There was silence at the other end of the call and it seems she was thinking about what to say next. Finally, she spoke again, her voice cracking."I want you back Liam"."I'm married now, Lucy. I have a life that can't include you anymore. You're now my ex, you are already my past and I plead with you to stay there. You can't be part of me any longer. I'm asking you, as a friend, to please just let me

Liam's pov"It was Priscilla who texted me," I explained, when Asher asked again why I had left her in the room. "She said she wouldn't be able to visit us again." I knew I was stretching the truth, Priscilla, my cousin had texted me, but that wasn't why I had rushed out of the room. "So that was why you acted like someone who had seen a ghost" She said, raising an eyebrow. "I was even asking what's wrong but you just ran out of the room" She said again."Em…yes, I had been longing to see her. It's been a while since we saw each other. When she said she won't be able to come again I felt sad and disappointed". I said, trying to sound sincere."It's alright, I don't want this to cause any argument again" She said softly."I now understand your point of view that we shouldn't report Lucy to the police or your father" she continued, "So, I don't want to report her again" She said, her eyes met mine as she smiled. "But I still believe what you said, that she won't hurt me." She said, I n

Lucy's pov"What?! Why would you do that?" my cousin, Lisa, exclaimed. I just told her that my main reason for coming to Germany wasn't to visit her, as I had told her. I had really come to try and get closer to Liam. "Why are you chasing after him like this? He just got married, he should be enjoying his time with his new wife, not being pursued by you!" Lisa said again."But, I really love him, I love him so much" I said, my voice breaking. "If you know what I went through when we were together, you will know that I truly love him" I said, tears already welled up in my eyes."I could remember the day his father came to my house and warned me to stay away from him. My father tried to talk to him, but he slapped my father right in front of me. I know I should have ended things then, but I just couldn't let go of my feelings for him. I was madly in love." The tears began to flow down my cheeks.My love for Liam had come at a great cost. His father, a billionaire and a powerful man, t

Asher's povOur honeymoon had come to an end, it was just one month but I felt it was more than that because my stay in Germany had been filled with experiences of both bad and good but most importantly, I had a deeper connection with my husband. So finally, we are returning to our dear home in America. I felt butterflies in my stomach.I was so excited to be finally going back to America because my husband would become the new CEO of Xavier and Son company. The thought of being a wife to a man who is accomplished made me feel so proud and happy."Babe, we're going to miss our flight if we don't hurry up," Liam said as he watched me in the mirror, trying to finish up my makeup."I'm almost done," I said as I hurriedly filled in my eyebrows.As I was finishing up with my makeup, Liam bent down to help me with my shoes. I was wearing a white shirt and trousers to match his outfit. We carried our luggage and headed out of the hotel. The car we had booked was already waiting for us outs

If not for Stanley's earnest pleas on Liam's behalf, Asher might never have answered Liam's desperate calls. But when she learned of Elizabeth's dire condition, all previous animosity dissipated into thin air.Almost breathless with panic, Asher demanded the hospital's address, leaving Liam little to no time to beg for her presence. Her maternal instincts kicked into overdrive, and she was already making a beeline for the hospital before Liam could even thank her."Baby please, eat at least two spoons." Liam said as he tried to coax Elizabeth into taking a bite of the food, her lips stayed sealed in stubborn defiance. Even as he gently spoon fed her, she turned her head away, refusing to eat."I've called your mother and she will soon be here." He said, his tone soft but firm. Elizabeth's silence spoke volumes, conveying her hurt and her obstinacy in the face of Liam's efforts.The spoon hit the tray with a clatter, signaling Liam's frustration and resignation. At that moment, he felt

"Elizabeth" Liam screamed, his voice quivering with shock as he entered his house and only to beheld his daughter, motionless on the ground. He rushed to her, shook her motionless body in a desperate attempt to awaken her but she was just still.Elizabeth had been starving herself, in the aftermath of Asher's departure.She ignored her meals, and couldn't stop crying every day. Her eyes had remained puffy and red from the endless hours of weeping each day. Liam's plea for her to eat only fell on deaf ears, as she would still refuse all food, even her favorite food because of her mother being absent. In a flurry of panic, he scooped her up and rushed to his car, speeding to the hospital, ignoring the jeers of the onlookers, his entire being was focused on one thing, getting his darling daughter to the doctors before it was too late. As Liam sprinted into the hospital with Elizabeth's limp body slung over his shoulder, his panic trumped all protocol. Emergency room nurses, instantly d

In the opulent setting of Stanley's luxurious residence, Liam relaxed on an exquisite couch, his eyes fixated on the pristine glass of wine on the table as he patiently waited for Stanley to return from the washroom.Stanley had called him, inviting him to a small party at his house which he said they would be having with one of his friends. With eager anticipation, Liam anticipated the arrival of their guest."My apologies, Liam, for keeping you waiting." Stanley said with a smile as he walked back to the sitting room, taking his seat next to Liam."No problem, I'm enjoying the ambiance." Liam replied, smiling back."Our guest should be here any moment." Stanley said, as he picked up the remote and turned up the volume on the TV, allowing the actors' dialogues to fill the room."Who is this your friend and why the party,what is the party for? I don't understand." Liam asked."Don't worry friend, it's meant to be a surprise. You will know her when she comes." "Her." Liam asked, confu

The room practically crackled with tension as Liam and Asher exchanged heated words. Liam's face was flushed with fury, as he raged at Asher for hiding her past as a lesbian while in school. He stood like an immovable mountain, resistant to her pleas for understanding. But Asher, after exhausting her efforts to plead with Liam, had reached her breaking point. She stood her ground, matching Liam's ferocity word for word. "This happened before you met me". She said, her voice raised in anger."Have you ever caught me in such an act since we got married." Liam's words were bullets, piercing Asher's soul with every sentence. "You kept this your dirty secret from me, your husband." he seethed, his eyes blazing with hurt and anger. "The woman was even blackmailing you, demanding money in exchange for her silence, and you've been paying her off all this time without me knowing?" His words shook with rage, his hands clenched into fists at his sides."Liam, I know I should have told you abo

"I'm only asking for a small sum of money, and here you are, making such a scene." Pearl said, her voice raised. Her anger ranged as she confronted Asher in her own home, using the compromising photos as leverage."Do you think I came here to joke or play with you? I came to reveal your dirty secret to your husband, but God seems to be on your side today. However, I won't leave without what I came for. Hand over that money, or your secret will no longer be safe with me.""Pearl, to you, a hundred million dollars is a small amount of money? Pearl, are you in your right senses" Asher said, her face hardened with frustration."You are spitting nonsense Asher". Pearl said, her face stern. "If you are not succumbing to my demands, consider your husband being aware of your bad past". She said again, her voice cutting through the air like a whip.The air seemed to thicken with the weight of Pearl's rage as Asher crumbled under the pressure, slumping down onto the nearest chair in defeat.

Asher's POVMy hands were immersed in a sudsy mountain of laundry when my phone's beep rang out, signaling a new message. I glanced at my phone's screen and saw that the message that came in was from Pearl and it read "I need to discuss something very important with you, and I would like you to come to my house to discuss it."My mind whirred with possibilities as to what she could be talking about, nothing coming to mind that couldn't be discussed via text or call. Anxiously, I dialed her number to find out if it could be discussed over the phone. The call went unanswered at first, but my persistence paid off when Pearl finally picked up. There was no friendly greeting or small talk, only her urgent message, "I'll send you my home address. It's very serious please." She ended the call after that before I could even utter a word.My mind raced with questions as I rushed to finish my laundry, speeding through the last stages of my cleaning routine. As I started to dress, a text from P

Liam's heart rate spiked as he walked into the sitting room, stunned to find the very woman whose identity he had been clamoring for, chatting with Asher in their house. His jaw dropped as if the world had suddenly tilted on its axis.Standing up with a warm smile, Pearl greeted him, but Liam's response was chilly at best, sending an icy chill through the room. Asher, caught in the crossfire, found himself quickly whisked away upstairs by a visibly agitated Liam, leaving Pearl alone to contemplate the reasons behind Liam's coldness."What is she doing here, and remember you haven't told me who she is?" Liam said, his face stern."Baby, like I told you earlier, Pearl is my old friend. I had wanted to tell you what had transpired between us, but you've been so busy lately." Her words hung in the air as Liam absorbed their meaning, his expression a mix of confusion and suspicion."We had a terrible fight before graduation, which was why I reacted so poorly when I saw her." She lied, her

Asher's POVAs I reclined in the comfort of my room, my daughter, Elizabeth, hurriedly entered with a look of bewilderment etched on her face. "Mom". She said "There is someone at the door asking for you," she said her voice laced with perplexity. "It's a woman, and she looks like that strange aunty we met at Uncle Stanley's birthday party. I think it's that aunty Pearl". Her eyes, wide with surprise, revealed the flutter of curiosity that stirred within her.On hearing Pearl's name, panic gripped my soul, and I sprung from the bed with haste. A silent prayer ascended from my heart, a plea that it wasn't her after all. And as I dashed downstairs, my heart racing in anxious fear, I was thankful that Liam wasn't around. If Pearl had indeed graced my doorstep, Liam's presence would have ignited a storm of trouble.My feet carried me swiftly to the living room, where my worst fears were confirmed. Pearl was already sitting comfortably, her very presence an unwelcome enigma. How did she di

Elizabeth's POVMy heart was racing as I approached my father. "Dad," I said, my voice shaking slightly with nerves. He turned from his TV program and smiled at me. "How are you, darling?" he asked, his voice calm and gentle.I'm scared the conversation might not turn out well, but I had to push through the discomfort. I had become desperate to ask him why he had such a negative view of female relationships. To him, it seemed that any sign of closeness between women was automatically seen as lesbianism. I need to understand why he had been so judgmental and narrow minded.My mind raced for the right words, but my mouth remained stubbornly silent. I took a deep breath, willing the words to come out. "I'm fine, dad," I replied, my voice still slightly trembling. "I want to ask you something." I managed to say.My father seemed to sense the gravity of my words and adjusted his seat to face me directly. "Of course, sweetheart," he said, his brows slightly furrowed in concern. "What is it
