Today was very tiring!
I breathed a sigh of relief as I stepped out of the company I worked for. It was like holding the flag of freedom that had been imprisoned. Where to go now? I have nowhere to go. A glimpse of memories emerged. Usually, at times like this, I would be so excited to go home and see Martin. But now that damn man is... I didn't want to think about him anymore. I finally chose something fun that a single person usually does. Having fun. Looks like I should start by shopping for something. I walked through the shopping district to a mall usually visited by upper-class people. With my current clothes, of course, I won't get kicked out. The blazer I wear is as expensive as the car parked in my garage. Too bad the blazer I'm wearing is an old model. I haven't gone shopping in a long time because I've always spent all my money on Martin's and my needs. Damn! The thought of that unfaithful man should go away right now. Who the hell is he? How dare he take over my mind. From now on, I will only think about the important things. "Can I help you?"It's been a long time since I've heard such a friendly greeting. Suddenly, I felt like a queen. Being served as comfortably as possible. This place is exclusive! I sat on a soft sofa with an elegant floral scent. "Bring everything you have. I want to look around!" Wow. It feels like I haven't been this pretentious in a long time. I felt so great. Being served and choosing expensive clothes, shoes, and bags. It turns out being single isn't so bad after all. I can do something that pleases me without having to bother about my partner. This fun shopping activity ended when I realized that I had packed one dress, one blouse, two shoes, and four bags! That's amazing. Even though I wasn't poor, I hadn't done this much shopping since dating Martin. That guy thinks I'm from the commoners and asks me to save money.Ah, that's quite ridiculous. My stomach was rumbling when the car I was driving pulled into the driveway. I smiled to see Asher's car still parked on the right side of my yard. That means he's still here. Tonight. Something naughty flashed through my head, and my hungry stomach messed with it. "Well... it looks like you guys are already running amok here." I rubbed my starving stomach. I carried the shopping bag and threw all my groceries in the living room. Let someone take care of it later. There would be servants coming tomorrow, and my energy had been depleted since I went shopping earlier.I decided to cook something for myself to eat. My feet stepped steadily into the kitchen. The clinking of hells against the marble floor made noise. I'm not used to walking slowly and elegantly like the rich women I know. I was used to my style as an ordinary woman. I didn't care about the rules and ways of rich people. But now... the old Daphne has returned. I guess I'd better start small. Something that makes me more... classy! I'll prove that I'm not someone who can be easily underestimated. The kitchen is spotless. It's amazing! There must be no food here. So I opened the two-door fridge used to store all the groceries and was bewildered at the variety of contents. Vegetables, meat, fish, chicken, and spices are stored in containers. What the hell is this? Everything looks confusing. I decided to take everything one by one. As I was organizing all the ingredients and thinking about what I would cook, a hand around my waist startled me. I immediately turned around and prepared to open my mouth to scream. But a hand held my lips and kept me silent. "Sttt... it's me.""You scared me!" I squealed and almost felt angry. I thought someone had snuck in, or it could have been a thief. I heard the neighborhood was getting unsafe. Asher didn't seem to care about my seemingly excessive emotional reaction. He looked around. "What are you doing in the kitchen at this time of night?"Before I could answer, my churning stomach showed me why I was in the kitchen."You're hungry, aren't you?" Asher looked at me with his calm gaze.I nodded. I was indeed starving. Asher smiled and rubbed my cheek gently."So I messed up your cooking program, huh?" Asher looked at all the ingredients I had lined up.I shrugged. "I don't even know what to make. So far, my cooking skills have only been baking bread and potatoes and making fried eggs." I felt ashamed to admit it. I rarely cook unless I'm in an urgent hunger situation like now. Suddenly, I felt like I had failed to be a perfect woman. I felt bad for admitting my weakness of being unable to cook before Asher. He would prefer a traditional woman who could cook for him someday. Who would want to marry a woman who could only serve burnt omelets or toast daily? "I'll make you something. Tell me, what do you want?" Asher rubbed my cheek. He probably thought that my sad face was because I was starving. He should think that than that he knows my fear. "Whatever. I'll eat everything you make," I said weakly. To think that I was incompetent at cooking and Asher was now offering to cook food for me meant that Asher was good at cooking."No, no, no. You just tell me what you want. I'll make whatever you want to eat." Asher said solemnly. I thought for a moment. What about spaghetti? "Can you make spaghetti?" I asked hesitantly. It's quite a difficult dish to make. But it's my favorite! Asher nodded. "Of course I can, Daphne. But I have to find some flour first to make the noodles." Asher then opened the food storage cabinet under the stove. He took out vegetable oil, flour, pepper, and other ingredients I didn't know the names of. Asher sorted out all the ingredients I took out of the fridge and put them back. He said that the unused ones should be stored. "What toppings do you want me to make for the spaghetti? Shrimp, chicken or ...." "Whatever you make for the toppings. I'll eat them all." Honestly, I didn't want to trouble Asher, and I really didn't want to put him in trouble because of my various desires. Asher smiled again. His smile was charming. In just a few moments, I had been showered with his loving smile. How could I not be flowery every day? The image of Martin and his pain occasionally appeared, but it didn't hurt me as much as the days before something happened between me and Asher. "I'll make the most delicious spaghetti for you. You'd better sit quietly and wait. How's the princess?" I nodded. Asher was cooking and had his back to me. I felt that he was very sexy while cooking. His broad shoulders twitched as his hands were busy mixing ingredients. His slim waist and round ass. There was something inside me that made me feel a strange feeling while observing her. My body felt like it was being electrocuted when I watched him for too long. He's such a sexy guy! Even much sexier than Martin. Come on, Daphne... how can you think so strangely of your father's friend? I waited patiently. The moments of waiting were not boring at all as I enjoyed the sight of Asher's sexy and athletic body, which made my naughty thoughts run wild. I smiled, imagining what if I invited Asher to my room tonight and gave him something hot in return for his cooking. Turns out I was daydreaming. Asher clapped his hands in front of my face. It snaps me out of my passionate, wild, and naughty daydream."What's wrong? You're daydreaming while biting your lip. What are you thinking about?" Asher's question embarrassed me. Biting my lip? Seriously. But Asher didn't prolong his question. When I didn't answer, he just shut up and smiled again while handing me a plate of hot spaghetti topped with chicken and a delicious bolognese sauce. Wow! I had no idea that Asher had such great cooking skills. "This... this is amazing!" I praised the look of Asher's cooking. A fragrant aroma wafted by my nose. I'm sure it will be delicious. Asher forgot to get a fork for me. I moved from my chair to get it. When I was almost there, the fork I was holding fell to the floor. I crouched down to pick it up. When I raised my head, right next to my face, something protruded from inside Asher's pants. He had been tense since earlier and still managed to restrain himself from cooking me food. "You're ....""Hey, are you okay?"When I looked up, Asher's handsome face made me even more flustered. I felt like asking him to touch me right away. Why? Why am I like this? "Your face is red. Are you okay, Daphne?" Asher held my cheek. Oh god... now I can't breathe. Asher's was huge. I can imagine the size. "Hello! Daphne! Are you okay?"This time, Asher shook my body, and I instantly snapped out of my reverie of dirty thoughts. "Yes. Yes, Asher. I'm fine. Thank you for your cooking. I want to eat now.""I'm fine, Asher!"I raised my voice to reassure Asher. Honestly, I felt so embarrassed when those perverted and crazy thoughts popped into my head at the sight of something bulging in Asher's pants. Asher narrowed his eyes. Can't believe what I'm saying."I'd better eat now before this food gets cold." I immediately changed the subject. Asher nodded. But he didn't leave. Asher got up, opened the fridge, and got a cold bottle of beer for me."Thank you," I said sincerely. I felt comfortable with all the attention Asher was giving me."No problem. You should drink after eating, Daphne." Asher smiled again. Oh god, it felt like I couldn't swallow the food in my mouth at the sight of Asher's intoxicating smile. Asher looked like a perfect god tonight. He cooked for me, got my drink, and waited for me to eat. Now he's smiling at me with his handsome face shining even more under the dim light of the kitchen lamp.I try not to look at Asher's face and focus on the food on my plate. Don't lo
My body fell to the cold marble floor, and I didn't feel any pain at all because Asher's hand was holding my back. Asher was pressed against my body. We have no distance at all. My chest was in contact with his chest. I moaned for a while. Asher moved his hands and brought my body into his embrace.I quickly pushed Asher's heavy body away from mine. Surprisingly, he didn't move at all. Is Asher dead? Why wasn't he moving at all? Thousands of questions popped into my head. But there was no way Asher was dead. Did he faint? That's impossible. Don't let Asher deliberately take advantage of a situation like this. I won't let him take advantage."Asher! I can't breathe!" I exclaimed. Asher was breathing hard. He then raised his head. His voice was hoarse and flat. "Daphne, this is so hard. You're making me unable to hold it anymore.""So hurry up and get up! Do you want me to die? Your body is so heavy, Asher!" I groaned. Asher didn't move. But he pressed his body more and more against mi
The sunlight woke me up. I opened my eyes with some reluctance. It felt like I still wanted to continue sleeping peacefully, and as I moved my powerless body, I felt pain in several parts.My lower abdomen was sore from being pressed down by Asher's big, long cock last night. All the limbs in my body also hurt a lot. Asher didn't give me a chance to rest. After he finished and we had a hot kiss, Asher picked me up and carried me to his room. He threw my body on his bed roughly and wanted to continue the second session. We made love so hot that I went limp and fell fast asleep. I think I passed out all night from being rendered helpless.I tried to get out of bed and surveyed my surroundings. Asher's room was spacious and clean, with little furniture. He seemed to be a practical man and only had the bare essentials.My entire body wasn't covered in anything. I was completely naked. I turned my head to the side and saw Asher still fast asleep with his breathing going up and down.After
"We have something to talk about," Asher said while looking at me sharply. I felt that Asher's gaze was leering at me. I bit my lip because I felt nervous. I thought Asher was going to talk about last night and..."W-what? Didn't we agree to forget about it?" I tried to remind Asher. Asher frowned. His face looked confused. A second later, his expression changed. A crooked smile spread across his face."You can't forget our hot night until now." Asher put down the document he was holding. I felt my heartbeat start to race. Again, I held my breath because I was embarrassed. My face must be very red."Your face is very red. You must be feeling embarrassed. Am I right?""No."Asher nodded with a chuckle. "Alright. I guessed wrong. But your face is as red as a boiled crab.""Stop teasing me and say what you want now because I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I'm busy."I tried to be professional. But, whenever I tried to be a serious, assertive woman, I was always rude to him.
Asher's POVThe aroma of delicious grilled meat mixed with cheese and half-cooked eggs made me feel like drooling. Mr McCormack added a lot of tomato sauce that was slightly spicy because it was mixed with pepper and ginger. He said the sauce was his family's hereditary recipe."Two special burgers for Mr. Asher and his girlfriend are ready. Please enjoy ...." Mr. McCormack acted like a waiter in a restaurant. He bowed and placed two burgers on the table in front of me. I immediately took my large speciality burger. Daphne couldn't contain herself at the sight of the big, tender meat and melted cheese on top of a pile of vegetables and half-cooked eggs.I immediately took a big bite of the burger. Daphne followed suit. A few seconds later, Daphne's eyes closed. "This is amazing, Asher. This is seriously the best burger I've ever had. It is a burger." Daphne emphasised every sentence in her praise. I waved at Mr McCormack and exclaimed, "she said your burger was the best!"Mr. McCorma
Since morning, there have been no significant problems. I was busy making reports and managed to finish them before lunchtime. Asher wasn't around either. He seemed to be busy with his work. We went to the office together and parted ways afterwards. After that, there was no news from Asher, and I didn't try to contact him either.I turned off my computer and straightened my hair and makeup. I stood up and looked around. Everyone had already left for lunch. I quickly made my way to the cafeteria. In the elevator, I bumped into Mary, Asher's assistant. We just glanced at each other without saying hello. I don't know. I felt that Mary looked sarcastically at me. But I didn't care about her."You've finally arrived, little bitch." Sherley's shrill voice greeted me. I rolled my eyes lazily. My best friend was so cynical, but she was so kind. I placed my butt on the chair across from Sherley."Today was very tiring. I was so busy that I almost skipped lunch," I said. I immediately ate mashe
[Meet me now]A message came in from Asher when I was feeling terrible. This was a shitty day for me. I feel like disappearing or drowning myself in the vast ocean for peace.Once again, a message came in from Asher accompanied by a photo of the location. At times like this, I seemed to need someone to talk to. I immediately accepted Asher's invitation. I immediately stepped onto the rooftop with a sad feeling.Asher stood behind me. His hair was moving in the wind. I stepped slowly closer to him. Asher didn't move or respond to my arrival at all. I deliberately stepped slowly, but he knew I was coming."You look sad. Did something happen to you today?" Asher turned around. I didn't bother pretending to be strong in front of him. I nodded with sudden tears attacking me.The sadness I'd been harbouring had taken a toll on my emotions. I sobbed. I couldn't accept Caroline's blame when I had done nothing wrong. I felt very resentful, but I also knew I wasn't a person capable of doing bad
I wore a low-cut black dress with a gold-coloured belt to show off my slender waist. My cleavage looked perfect with a red heart necklace. I dressed like a beautiful, evil, dark queen with red lipstick and black eyeshadow. My hair was loose, and I styled it to keep it perfectly fluffy."Good!" I looked at the silhouette of myself. I looked different and had the expression of my imagination. I felt proud to have shown another side of myself. At least my appearance tonight was intimidating enough to make me a strong woman in the eyes of my future date.I get out because the taxi I ordered has arrived. I decided not to drive alone tonight. I also didn't see Asher anywhere in this corner of the house. Usually, he always appears like a ghost, but tonight, the bridge of his nose is nowhere to be seen.I arrived at the location Sherley told me about. She was waiting for me looking like a crazy whore ready to fuck, but I wasn't surprised because that was Sherley. She wears the shortest red d
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
