Asher's PoV

Joan shouldn't have sold her shares to that greedy bald guy. See what's happening now? The stock was plummeting, and the market price was falling.

"I think we should hold our company's shares or raise them and sell them," I told the manager, who looked nervous. But it's not his fault. It's Joan's fault. He was too quick to escape from this city and didn't want to leave any traces behind. Daphne was even given the mandate to lead the company here even though Joan was still in full control of the big, risky decisions.

Alan nodded his head. He gave me some ideas. We exchanged views for about an hour in a serious conversation that went around in circles because we still couldn't decide on the absolute decision to be made. I thought about the consequences I would have if I had chosen. All this was because of Joan.

I grumbled and chided Joan silently. Suddenly, my cell phone rang. This must have resulted from the inner bond between my anger immediately conveyed to that jerk, Joa

    Asher's PoV"Where are we going?" Daphne closed the car door enthusiastically. I just smiled at her. It's a secret."You'll see." I looked in the mirror and ensured my appearance was appropriate for meeting someone special. I always wanted to meet her where I was happy so she would feel at ease for leaving me alone."You're not cheating on me and wanting to show me your big-boobed mistress and then telling me to be like her, or we'll break up, are you?"I laughed. Daphne's imagination is impressive. "You're adorable, honey. But I never thought of cheating on you. You're the only one for me and the only woman I love." I looked deeply at Daphne. Every time I do this, it's like there's electricity shooting through my body.Daphne laughed with relief. "Alright then. At least it's not something bad."I drove my car to the first destination. "We'll see."Daphne kept guessing all the way. She thought I wanted to take her to see my grandmother or my grandfather, who are far away from here, an

    Daphne's PoV"She's the one who made me... I don't know," Asher seemed embarrassed to admit in front of his mother' grave. I felt flattered by Asher's treatment. His attitude towards me was like that of someone who had just experienced first love. "She's the one who made me feel that my world is wonderful."Asher then rubbed his mother's gravestone. He rubbed it away with trembling hands, and I could hear a small sob. Asher turned towards me, and his arms opened wide. I walked over, standing side by side with Asher. The afternoon sun fell on our faces, making Asher's blonde hair glow. I even saw that the two of us seemed deliberately illuminated by the sun and looked like angels on a shining hilltop. The sun was shining behind the graves of Asher's late mother and a few other meals so that the reflections extended like parallel black lines. I looked around the meadow and found many old graves whose headstones were broken, damaged and almost hollow. At least Asher's mother isn't lone

    Daphne's PoVAfter Asher introduced me to his late mother, I felt I knew him much better. Behind his sometimes cold and haughty figure, Asher held great tenderness and compassion in his heart. I'm glad that Asher made me a particular person. He showed his warmth and love for me only. Not like Martin. Why do I still remember that jerk?I've been travelling here and there since this morning. I have a lot of meetings to attend, not to mention the core company meeting that is now in my hands. My father left all the decisions up to me. I was nervous at first. It turned out that I had financial and economic advisors in the company, and I could consult with them. I also allowed Max and Sherley to be my pre-decision assessors. I feel satisfied with my job now. My office is in the same building as Asher's, and we plan to build an addition on the side. It's going to be a big project. Think of it as Asher's company and mine going into a coalition. This is just for the office. Of course, our fa

    Daphne's PoV"What do you think of my appearance?" Anthony showed off his body. Anthony was so fat in middle school that he often had trouble getting through the chemistry lab entrance. "You're better now," I complimented him sincerely and enthusiastically. Anthony nodded. I worked hard for this. After my father finished sending me to business school, I was able to focus on my body. And you know the good news? My father made me a manager. He may think I'm stupid, but he already trusts me." Anthony was very excited to explain what had happened in his life. I listened carefully and was happy with his progress. "Oh yes, what are you doing here, Daphne?" It seemed that Anthony had just remembered me. He was busy explaining himself, and he was done. He refocused on me. His eyes were watching me intensely. I always liked the soft gaze Anthony gave me. He always called me beautiful as an angel. He was my best friend. I was the only one who wanted to be his friend in high school. "I... I d

    Daphne's PoVI arrived home at five minutes past eleven. I rushed into the house. When I opened the door, I was surprised to find Asher sitting on the living room sofa with his feet up on the table and his arms folded."Where have you been?"That's bad. I was caught. I smiled and sat down next to Asher."I was planning to go shopping, then I aborted my plans and ate at a vegetarian restaurant. After that, I drank tea at a Japanese shop to relax my nerves."Asher let out a long sigh. He exhaled harshly as his facial expression softened."You had me worried, honey. I called Caroline, Max, and all the people I consider your friends, and they said you weren't with them."I felt guilty for setting the ringer on my cell phone because I was sick of constantly getting calls that were dinner invitations or party invitations. They weren't enjoying the dinner or the party but rather organizing plans for a coalition or expanding their business. I didn't like this sneaky way."I'm sorry. So you ca

Geez, Daphne. This fiancé of yours is naive. Has she never dated before? That's funny."Asher lowered his hand and squeezed my thigh. I turned my head and understood that what Sherley said was true. Asher was jealous. He was very jealous."Tell me how he is at school." Asher turned to me with a wink and a grin. I glared at Anthony for him to hide his secret."If you want to know the truth, then in the name of repaying you for helping me when I fell down the stairs of your house all those years ago, I'll tell you everything." Anthony moved his chair forward. I kicked his feet under the table and signaled him to be quiet. But Anthony wasn't a cold man who could act like a man. Too many women surrounded his life because men oppressed him. She was very good at bringing up gossip, and I liked her for t

    Daphne's PoVI fell asleep from exhaustion today, also from overthinking and feeling stressed after the fight with Asher after meeting Anthony earlier. I'm so sick of Asher's possessive and controlling behavior. He shouldn't have done this to me. Deciding what he wants without asking for my approval. I felt that Asher was very selfish, and it hurt my feelings.I cried so much that I had a headache and swallowed two aspirin until I felt sleepy. I fell fast asleep in my soft, fluffy pajamas.I felt dreamy and peaceful until I was in someone's arms. I reflexively opened my eyes and saw that Asher was holding me. I rebelled from his arms, and he held me with all his strength. I thrashed around until I fell limp. I couldn't tear myself away from his arms."It's useless for you to do that, dear. You'd better shut up and follow me." Asher said coldly. He opened the car door and threw my body into his car."What the hell? Are you kidnapping me?" I was furious at his rude treatment."If that's

    "Are you awake, darling?"I woke up to the blinding sunlight. I don't know when I fell asleep last night because I was so weak from making hot love with Asher. I rubbed my face, and the rest of the cum Asher had spurted on my face was gone."I cleaned it up last night." Asher seemed to know what I was thinking. He was still naked, and I pulled back the blanket covering my body to see if I was the same as him.Asher's hands were moving mischievously again. He was playing with my breasts and suckling like a baby. I looked at him, and he hugged me tighter."You're so spoiled." I stared at him while holding back the ticklishness and lust."I'm not like this very often. Just ignore it." Asher buried his face, and he suckled harder and harder on my breasts.I don't know why Asher's suction after suction amused me. I held it in by biting my lower lip. Then, there was a change in my body. I felt goosebumps and itchiness on my bottom. I felt like I wanted to be stabbed hard and ridden like a h

But I'm not fully there anymore because I want to dedicate my life to caring for our precious Cecilio.Asher just shrugged. He kissed me and kissed Cecilio some more.

    Daphne's POV"I'm not pregnant. No way."I turned around and tried to deny it. Asher narrowed his eyes, coming closer. I took three steps away from him. My emotions were in turmoil. I didn't even dare to touch my own stomach. This feels... like a dream. I was going to be a mother.In a few seconds, the image of my mother appeared in my mind, like a meteor that suddenly passed by in the summer sky and then disappeared instantly. I could feel again how tender and warm my mother's love was. Being a mother is a form of great responsibility full of complex problems and a lot of love.I can't believe I'm about to experience it, too."Honey?" Asher called out to me. I turned my head towards my handsome husband. Asher looked stiff now, and he said carefully."Are you... are you child-free?"This strange feeling seemed like rejection and denial to Asher. He could only judge the outside. But me, this child is inside me, and she will grow. It's like climbing the top tower of happiness to get a c

We spent the whole week swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, making hot love on the beach and letting our naked bodies burn in the sun. Then, it was all over again at night, making love under the stars."I want more kids from you, baby," Asher told me before he moaned on top of me and dropped his body. I smiled satisfactorily at Asher's sweaty face, and he always kissed me afterwards."I meant what I said, baby." Asher reiterated his desire for me. He took my casual attitude as insincerity."I'm also serious about giving you whatever you want, My sugar daddy." My hand mischievously played with his nipple. Asher let out a long sigh, and he stiffened again."Nasty girl. You're naughty, sweetheart.""Yes, Daddy?""You must get punished." Asher narrowed his eyes. He pretended to be angry and threatening. I love this game. I l

    Daphne's PoVMy body feels so light, like cotton. It's probably due to the effects of fatigue after making hot love with Asher last night. I felt relieved after pulling back the blanket with my eyes closed. There wasn't a single thread weighing down this body. As I opened my eyes slowly and received the sunlight into my eyepiece, Asher's face appeared with his seductive smile above me."Good morning, wife." Asher stole a quick kiss. I rubbed my eyes and blinked repeatedly. I know this isn't a dream, but it all feels too good to be true. A pleasantly arranged room and a handsome husband who... wait! Why is Asher so neat this morning? He even took a shower. There were traces of water in his hair."We just had a party, and you're going to work?" I felt my mood fall apart instantly.Asher laughed. "Who wants to work on such a beautiful day? Honey, did you forget that I'm the boss?" Asher came closer and held my chin to turn my face to his. I refused and looked the other way."Who else, if

There was a candle burning in the corner of the room, and red lingerie and a whip were provided.Asher laid me down slowly. He kissed me fiercely and roughly. There was nothing I could do but surrender to all his kisses. Asher lowered my clothes slowly."Do you want to wear that?" he asked while looking at the red lingerie lit up like the lingerie of a prostitute who became a pole dancer at the same time."Sure. But you have to put it on for me." I moved wildly and mischievously. Asher followed my game. She became the villain, preparing to capture and strip me. I walked away from him with my clothes half undone and looked at him as if I was terrified."Come here, My Baby girl." Asher walked away, grunting harshly. I felt that the more naughty he looked, the sexier he became. The game became more challenging as I managed to

It turned out that he did it because he didn't want any misunderstanding between me and my father.Of course, my emotions exploded many times over. Who can stand to see their partner battered? I immediately accused my father of being the culprit, and he immediately apologized to Asher."I'm sorry. I'm sorry," Dad said to Asher."No problem," Asher replied.It was easy for Asher to forgive my father for making his face battered. Maybe Asher could accept it, but not me. I can't forgive you if you did this because you think you have power over Asher, and you can do whatever you want.

He said that his decision was inviolable. I gave in on the condition that all the bodyguards had to look sketchy while guarding me. Asher agreed and told them all to carry weapons. Again, I felt uncomfortable being rich and thought how easy it would be to be ordinary. Of course, my wish was severely criticized by Sherley, who called me an ungrateful person."If I were you, I'd have my bodyguards walk behind me and follow me wherever I go," he said with annoyance every time he had to listen to my outbursts that he always considered unreasonable."I'm not kidding, Sherley.
