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
Daphne's PoV"I do."My voice trembled as I recited the vows in front of the priest. The priest then invited us to kiss. Asher immediately pulled me in and gently crushed my lips. I accepted his kiss with an inexplicable feeling.It was very hot this afternoon, but everything was fine. The musicians and flower arrangers had left. The pastor also left. It's like a love story in the movies. It was just the two of us in our wedding outfits and the wedding altar, whose decorations kept moving in the wind.Under the beautiful afternoon sun, we kissed again. Asher pulled me towards the sea, and I ran several times away from the waves that would sweep the hem of my dress."Come here, darling!" Asher seems to have moved to the centre. Half of his body had already sunk. I felt challenged and walked towards the centre. My dress was getting heavier and heavier. My dress trampled me, and I almost drowned because I couldn't get up and breathe. Asher immediately headed towards me and helped. He pul
Daphne's PoVBack to my daily routine. I head to the office and, as usual, attend meetings, check all the work and monitor sales. The economy is booming right now, so I'm very excited whenever a foreign investor comes and asks for business cooperation. Of course, not all of them were accepted. I screened them all individually and picked the potential ones to join my company.Sherley and Max squinted as I entered the room. We have a shared workspace because I find it more fun to work with friends than alone. Max even took out a mortgage for himself and Sherley. Their income had increased since moving from Asher's company to mine. Personal assistants and secretaries have a fairly large income and are many times more than ordinary staff."What did you do for three days? Why didn't you tell both of us, heh?"Sherley handed me information about the investor I would meet, as well as his background, vision, and mission. I read it and scrutinised it. I crossed out some parts that I thought we
Daphne's PoV"Maybe you're making this up so no man will come near me? You're jealous of Anthony, so I'm doing all this to me, right?"I had been holding back since dinner last night, and after dinner was over and we went to our room, I immediately grilled Asher. Asher scratched his forehead. She took my phone and opened the news I showed her. "I don't know anything about this," Asher said as he shrugged. His face looked confused as he read the news he scrolled through on my phone screen. I squinted, looking for the lie on Asher's face. But Asher also looked astonished. He then opened his phone and searched for the same news."I haven't opened my phone all day. I've been very busy, dear." Asher conceded. I knew he was telling the truth now.My forehead folded. I'm always like this whenever I'm stressed and in trouble. I was annoyed by the news that had just come out about us. I don't like my personal affairs being known to everyone and my life spotlighted. I hate being recognised. I
Daphne's POVAsher narrowed his eyes. He looked at me and stared at my stomach sharply and gently. I continued to walk backwards. I felt that Asher was now misunderstanding me. This misunderstanding didn't make me feel comfortable at all because I was like an accused."Tell me the truth.""I have nothing to hide." I shook my head.Asher scratched his forehead again. He didn't seem to believe me. Asher walked closer and closer. He held my cheek gently."If I'd known I would be a father, I wouldn't have gotten angry, Daphne. Just say it."I shook my head firmly. Asher had misunderstood me entirely, and now he was forcing me to admit what didn't happen. All this was just a misunderstanding.I was squeezed between the closet and Asher's body. I couldn't take a step back anymore. There was an uncomfortable feeling, a sort of lump in my chest after Asher had pushed me and Father had accused me. I wasn't pregnant, and I never thought about what it would be like to have a child.I never thoug
Daphne's PoV"I think this room and some of the rooms need renovation. I think this mansion needs an update. All the arrangements are boring and old-fashioned."I told Asher as we were both about to leave for work. Dad would never come back here, and he would have given everything, including his company, to me. I feel like the classic-style house is pretty boring. I want to live in a modern home with a terrace on the second floor, complete with a garden. The room we stayed in also looked like someone's room in the nineties. Everything was dark with polished wood. I want a bright white room with new furniture. I have enough money to make everything the way I like it."That's fine. But think again with two blue rooms and one pink room. Our three children will need it later." Asher said calmly while putting on his socks.Three kids? Seriously. One kid is already crazy, and he wants three?"You think you can take care of kids? Even with my fussiness, you always have a headache." I sneered
Daphne's PoVI looked for the cook and told her to help me prepare all the ingredients needed. I'm going to make asparagus soup because it's good for stomach health and it's also filling. At the bottom was a note about the taste of this soup. It was crunchy, savoury and delicious."Please help me prepare all these ingredients. After that, you can go home." I ordered the cook to prepare all the ingredients I wanted."If you want, I can make it for you, Miss Daphne." The cook looked worried. I understood what she was thinking."Calm down. I'm not going to burn down the kitchen. Do you think I'm still an innocent ten-year-old girl? Seriously." I chuckled. The cook can't help but nod and prepare everything.I waited for the ingredients to be prepared. I imagined that when he came home, Asher would be amazed at how good my cooking was. I felt confident that I could make it and impress Asher, just like what happened between Max and Sherley. After all the ingredients were prepared, I quickly
Daphne's POV"Good morning, Mommy!"My mornings were never as peaceful as before. Every time I opened my eyes, two smiling faces welcomed the morning with me.Asher put Cecilio on the bed. My sweet baby walked quickly to me. He smacked my face in greeting. I kissed his cheek affectionately. Asher put on his suit this morning. He was leaving for another business trip."You'll be long?" I haven't been happy about Asher leaving on his business trip lately. I don't know. I felt jealous that Asher's attention wasn't focused entirely on our little family. I even removed myself from my father's legacy company and had my confidant take care of it even though I monitored his business movements. 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. I smiled to see that my husband was really a good father. I smoothed my hair for a while and took Cecilio from his arms. I walked Asher a
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
Daphne's POVWe're in Hawaii this week. Asher had honeymoon plans beyond my expectations. Every week, we changed places. The first week, Asher took me to the Maldives. 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
Daphne's PoVAsher carried me to the bridal room that had been decorated in such a way. Both of us were even more surprised to see that the room's lights were red. 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
Asher's PoVI'm at the office of the city's top lawyer. Daphne and I were taking care of the prenuptial agreement. All property before marriage belongs to each of them, and property after marriage will be jointly owned."Are you sure about your decision? The assets after marriage that are joint will cause you to lose the assets that you have acquired, let alone any losses. I suggest that the assets be separated." The lawyer gave me and Daphne some advice. Daphne and I had some time to negotiate. We finally agreed that the assets would be separated. Daphne said that she and I just needed the loyalty to support each other. In the future, if I suffered a loss or my company collapsed, Daphne's company would not be affected.We updated our wishes about the prenuptial agreement and discussed it as thoroughly as possible. Daphne and I continued to negotiate until we got what we wanted very carefully.After discussing the pre-nuptial agreement, Daphne and I went for a dress fitting. Daphne wa
Daphne's POVDad apologized to Asher because he couldn't control his temper and beat Asher up. I didn't see that Asher's temples were swollen from the punches my father had thrown. I thought Asher looked down because he was afraid of my father's anger. 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. But he denied all my accusations and said he did this purely because he was worried about my situation."You should have thought about the consequences of you
Daphne's PoVI was discharged after the knife wound from the robbery was just a scratch. Asher looked awkwardly at the doctor, who promised to keep what he saw a secret. But we were both embarrassed already.Asher went back to work. He forbade me from going out and traveling without a bodyguard. I objected. But this time, Asher didn't want to be contradicted. 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. This was all very annoying. I feel like there's CCTV everyw
Daphne's PoVThis is the first time I've seen Asher this panicked. I've never seen him this scared before. I love him a lot, but I didn't know that Asher was this weak when he lost the person he loved. Asher shamelessly cried over me in front of many people. Destroying his image of a manly man who was handsome, rich, and powerful.Asher didn't want to leave me, and when I told him to go home to get a change of clothes and buy some food, he refused. Asher sent someone to bring everything for both of us. He said that this hospital belonged to his future business partner. I asked who Asher referred to, and he promised to introduce me to Jamie and Josh.The room I was staying in was not like a typical hospital room that smelled of medicine and was full of white, bright lights that nauseated my eyesight. This room had automatic dimmable lighting. There was a fridge, a cupboard, a television, and a big sofa. The bed I was on wasn't a single-person bed either. It's more like a hotel room tha
