Asher walked into his office just to see Josiah, sitting on his office chair, legs crossed on the desk whilst watching Joker, displaying from the projector to the large screen.

Josiah barked out a laughter, clearly enjoying the movie and ignoring Asher who was walking to him, with a clenched jaw.

Asher grabbed Josiah's leg and pushed it away energetically, causing him to fall to the ground.

Asher leaned on his desk, waiting for the seat to warm up so he wouldn't feel the heat from Josiah's ass on his.

" Not a very nice way to greet your best friend," Josiah said, standing up and dusting the sides of his black pants.

"I have warned you several times to quit sitting on my chair," Asher glared at Josiah. "How did you even get inside my office?- And please turn that shit off."

" Just because you don't like watching movies doesn't mean it's shit," Josiah switched off the projector. He took a sit in front of Asher's desk. " You arrived late today."

" How did you get into my office?" Asher

    Whilst Asher was relishing the news he'd found out about Lena, she was running towards Maria's hair salon, holding three bags filled with shampoos and hair conditioners in both hands.When Lena raced inside the salon, she came to a halt and let out a heavy sigh when she saw how many people had come for a hairdo.They had doubled since fifteen minutes ago, she stepped out." Chica, drop the bags and get to work." Maria, the owner of the salon, stated as she applied red dye to a customer's hair.Lena lazily arranged the shampoos and hair conditioners in the designated compartments. She worked three jobs: a daycare teacher in the mornings, a salonist in the afternoons, and a waitress at night, yet didn't feel like she was doing enough. " Hey Len, how about you give me a haircut." James Weasley waved Lena over with a cheeky smile on his face.Lena grinned, happy seeing him. She took an apron and put it on before heading to the barbing section where he was."Good afternoon, James." Lena g

    Lena stepped out of her bedroom with her heart in her mouth. The sound of Drake and his brothers bantering and loud pop music filled the whole house. Lena could immediately detect the stink of alcohol emanating from the living room. As she approached the living room, her gaze was drawn to the kitchen, which was a complete mess.Bottles of alcohol and takeout plates were littered on the floors, making Lena want to throw up.She despised it when Drake's siblings or friends came to visit; they usually trashed the house or caused the cops to stop by due to their loudness.Lena peered from the corner of her eyes at the woman sitting on Drake's lap. She only had a bra and G-string on. Her lips were on Drake's neck, biting it while his hand was squeezing her ass.When Drake's gaze shifted from his siblings to her, Lena gazed straight ahead. " Don't tell me you are going for another interview." Drake gave her a disdainful laugh and looked her over from top to bottom. "When will you comprehe

    Matteo drove the car while Lena and Asher sat in the backseat.They made sure to keep a good distance from themselves as their bodies were touching the car doors.Lena breathed in the scent of pineapple and vanilla. It smelt so natural in the car that his stomach began to rumble. She had never felt so comfortable sitting down in a car before, the seats were like soft pillows. She wanted to thank Matteo for the low music he played over the drive, but she was very much still angry at him. The luxurious car almost made her forget her motive for being inside till Asher spoke, looking at her, and holding a smirk.Well, it was hard not to get amused by her." Are we going to get over this or what?" He snapped her out of her trance.Lena looked at him quickly, her soft gaze hardened instantly. She looked down at the mini briefcase on her lap and searched for the paper with interview questions written on it.She thought it fair to add her questions since she was the one conducting the inter

    Three weeks passed swiftly, and Lena followed Asher's wishes by remaining away from him.She didn't want anything to do with him ever again but he kept on getting on her nerves anytime she saw his face on Television.She was able to obtain a loan from the bank and some friends to cover Liam's escape plot and her wedding expenses.Lena took a deep breath and looked ahead at the busy road. In two days, she'd be married to Blake.Her stomach wrenched as Blake caressed her knee with his thumb while driving her to fetch her wedding dress at the bridal shop. His touch no longer made her feel lightheaded and turned upside down and right side up.She'd caught him multiple times with his hookers making out. He no longer hides his act anymore and even goes to the extent of bringing them over to Lena's home. When he was done, he'd crawl to Lena's bed demanding she made love to him.Lena chose to live the rest of her life as a celibate rather than allow him to ever make love to her again. Losing

    *An hour earlier*Asher was leaning against the bar table in the mini bar in his luxurious three-story building family home. He stared at the golden liquid inside the wine glass he was holding. It took all of his self-control not to toss the glass across the room. Not only did she insult him in front of newscasters and paparazzi, but Lena formed a whole scandal about him. She secretly recorded the rest of their conversation and sent it to the press!Asher gulped down the wine and clutched the glass forcefully. The glass cracked, piercing into his skin. He flung the pieces away in a fit of rage.She tarnished his reputation! Because of her, people are calling him names. Some people are even planning to protest against him for doing completely nothing but trying to put a fraud behind bars.He had gotten a phone call earlier from one of the prominent newscasters, who had told him to repent for his actions and withdraw from calling the authorities on Liam Duke."

    " Okay, ladies and gents, hush up," Josiah said to the ladies and guys sitting on separate couches from each other, with Drake in the middle of the twelve guys and Lena in the middle of the fourteen ladies.Lena had rented a lounging area for the bachelor and bachelorette party. After the introduction, the guys were meant to go to the lounge upstairs and have their fun while the ladies would stay down. Since Drake didn't tip in to either of the party, Lena could only afford a lounge. Abby cashed in a few bucks for decorations.Drake said the bachelor and bachelorette party should be strictly for friends and relatives their age, he didn't want any old people crashing the day he'd supposedly planned." Can you guys leave already?" Rebecca, Lena's distant cousin groaned. She impatiently awaited to enjoy the night with the girls and bride-to-be.Josiah looked at her with a breathtaking smirk and said, " No sweetheart, we have to do the introduction first before we get the main event."Hi

Lena's eldest cousin ordered pizza for everyone, while Rebecca ordered lots of snacks.They all rounded the table filled with shots of alcohol whilst they sat on the ground.Lena watched with a smile as Abby chatted with the male stripper who was dancing on her a while ago.

She hoped one day, Abby would find a guy she truly loved and stop playing around." All right ladies," Lena's oldest cousin, Freda, got up and clicked a wine glass.

    " Oh my goodness, Lena!" Grace shrieked as she entered Lean's room and noticed Lena was wearing makeup and her hair was tied back into a stylish bun.The next day arrived faster than Lena expected. Her head was still aching from the hangover, and the thought of her single life being eternally gone to a guy who had failed to reciprocate her love made it ache even more."You look stunning." Grace squirmed and moved over to Lena, who was trying to smile. " When Drake sees you, he won't be able to take his eyes off you."Speaking of Drake, she had not seen him since yesterday night, when he was naked and holding Rebecca in his arms." Keep up the good work Hailey," Grace said to the makeup and hair stylist. The wedding was to take place in Lena's patio, the fertile land had enough acres to accommodate less than a hundred guests. Drake requested Lena cash in money for a massive amount of money for the wedding because he was going to invite a lot of people. Lena, who had handled the bills

    Lena sat on the balcony, the night air chilly against her skin. She gazed at the plush porch, still adjusting to the unfamiliar luxury surrounding her. As a child, she'd dreamt of a living glamorous life, but adulthood had forced her to bury those dreams. No matter how hard she worked, the world constantly reminded her of her middle-class reality.Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ringing of her phone. She took out her phone and read the caller's ID.Abby.Her heartbeat quickened. She hadn't heard from Abby since the wedding, and her absence after the ceremony made Lena wonder if her best friend was upset with her."Lena! Tell me where you are so I can come over and kick your ass," Abby snapped the moment the call connected.Lena exhaled. "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you-""You should be sorry! How the hell could you marry Asher out of nowhere? You never even hinted you liked him-""I don't like him! I never have and never will. Just calm down and listen."Lena paced the bal

    Lena waited for Asher to return with the rest of her luggage, but it had been over thirty minutes, and he still hadn't come back.Stepping onto the balcony, she inhaled the fresh scent of hibiscus and dandelions. The floral arrangement was stunning, and for a moment, Lena could admit that Asher's only redeeming quality was his neatness. Unlike most men she had known, he took meticulous care of both himself and his surroundings.Her attention was drawn to the massive entrance gate where seven luxury cars pulled into the driveway.'How many damn cars are in this place?' she thought, watching as elegantly dressed men, women, and children stepped out of the cars. Their glamorous attires made her stomach turn."Seriously? Who goes out dressed like a Disney princess trying to take over the world?" she muttered in disgust.They had to be Asher's relatives. Judging by their snooty expressions, they seemed just as unwelcoming as he was. She promised herself she would stay polite-unless they p

    Lena hurried to catch up with Asher as he made his way toward the house.Upon stepping inside, Lena's jaw nearly hit the floor. The entire interior was a lavish blend of blue and gold. Intricate gold patterns decorated the plush blue walls, and a grand spiral staircase wound upward from the side of the living room. The ceiling was so elegantly designed that it felt almost surreal. Two doors, labeled "Game Room" and "Cinema," caught her attention, further emphasizing the house's luxury."Close your mouth, would you?" Asher's cold voice snapped Lena out of her awe.Realizing her mouth had been open, she quickly shut it, her cheeks warming with embarrassment."Pathetic," Danielle muttered with a roll of her eyes, already seated on the couch beside her husband, enjoying their tea.Matteo was heading upstairs with some of Lena's luggage when a woman's voice called from the staircase."You can leave the bags here in the living room," said Jade, descending the stairs gracefully.Though techn

    Lena wasn't sure she heard correctly.She had spent her childhood and teenage years in an extended family enough to loathe it. She hardly had her privacy and couldn't do anything without someone meddling in. Plus, she had seen enough Bollywood movies to know that living with her husband's relatives would raise a stir.There was no way in hell, she'd pass through that! "What? You expect me to live with your parents?!"Asher's expression remained calm, but a hint of annoyance crept into his voice. "It's not an expectation, Miss Dubby. It's a requirement. My parents are...particular, and they want us to live with them."Lena's mind reeled as she tried to wrap her head around the situation. She had just married a man she barely knew, and now she was expected to live with his parents. It was too much to take in."Why?" Lena asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "Why do they want us to live with them?"Asher's eyes seemed to cloud over, and for a moment, Lena thought she saw a glimmer of

    On hearing what Asher said, Lena's eyes turned loathsome. Her eyes snapped up to look at Asher who had the usual emotionless expression on his face." You think this is funny, don't you?" Lena accused brusquely.*An hour earlier*Asher was leaning against the bar table in the mini bar in his luxurious three-story building family home.
