Asher's POV

"I had fun."A

We were standing by her car, and one of her bodyguards held the door open for her. This bodyguard wasn't wearing a face mask; he wore a suit and looked very professional.

The kids that had been calling her name, apparently, did not disappear; it had been my senses playing tricks on me. They were behind us and kept looking at her.

We figured that they must've seen her promoting some brands for children and then took a liking to her. In most of her interviews, she has always addressed her utter and complete love for children.

And as a ruler, a well-known ruler, the children sitting in front of the screen became her biggest fans.

My attention came back to her when I felt her rub her hand on mine, "you zone out a lot, is it because of the poison or the heartbreak?"

I cleared my throat; those topics were two very sensitive things I hated to indulge in.

I have always been one to zone out, but surely it could've gotten more intense ever since Lyra left with Philip,

    Philip's POVThe knot in my stomach felt too heavy, and no matter how many times I tried any form of movements to make its presence more ignorable, it was simply impossible.My legs felt like they were on fire. My knees were weak, and my whole body seemed as if it wasn't owned by me.This was because I was looking at the last family member of mine that was still within arm's reach. But what essence was that?They all betrayed me. They all moved over to Emily's side for reasons unknown.What could she have promised them?Did she hold something important to them like she did to Beatrice?What were they even after?Though I had tried hard to bury the reality of my situation, sometimes it was impossible to keep its head from sprouting up like a crop germinating for the first time. No matter how deep I dug into the soil, no matter how reluctant I was to water it. It was still buried under the sun, and the rain still poured, and no matter my feelings towards it, I couldn't actually shake it

I cried, tears flowing from my eyes, "what donyou wabt drom me? Why are you so inte

    Philip's POVIt stunned me that Eunice agreed to what Tessa had said. It seemed like her children were the only thing important to her. They were the only ones that she needed. She didn't care if she was banished or made to walk around naked; all she wanted was her children.She thoughtlessly agreed with the words: "I'll find Tristan for you, and you must get me my child," she said with authority, as if aiming to show she had power over anyone here.She wasn't even more powerful than Tessa; the only reason that, of course, Tessa would hold her in high regard was that she had practically been his mother when the real one left. Tessa also respected her for her age. She always marveled at how that woman who was this old could still look so young.But now everything was ruined. Everything, every form of respect she held for Eunice, it had turned into a war zone in her head as everything was being set ablaze.I saw Tessa walk toward me, and although I saw her already making her way to wher

  • The Alpha's Triplets With a Rejected Mate   Chapter 301

    Asher's POV:Why would Tristan save me?Although I had no reason to believe this man standing in front of me, seeing as his plan had been ruined by Tristan, and Tristan had not been the one who poisoned me nor paid him to do it, I was compelled to believe his words. Surely he possessed some level of contempt for the person who ruined his mission. When I looked into his eyes and saw how angry he looked, how dark his eyes were as he recollected all that had happened that day, I could say for certain that he actually did hate Tristan.Well, there were many other blonde men, and I couldn't jump to the possibility that the person who saved me from him was Tristan. Other than the fact that he was blonde, I needed a little bit more than his hair color. I needed to know something else that was specific."What else can you tell me other than the color of his hair?" I asked with stern, narrowed eyes, trying to make sure I looked imposing enough.From the way he reacted, which was actually nothi

    Asher's POV:The advice wasn't that helpful, especially when I had already come to the realization about who he was talking about.A few days ago, I was sure that he wouldn't have been able to afford such an assassin, but looking at it from another angle and hearing those words from the assassin himself, I figured out the reason why I had been in the dark for this long.It was Kaden. It had to be him.There wasn't another person who hates me so much that could have wanted me dead. He was the only one with the means to be able to escape from me like a snake slithering through my fingers. Having lived in the mansion with me, grown up there, he surely knew some secret doors that most servants were clueless about, and with that knowledge, such Kaden must've gotten someone to poison me.However, I had been poisoned outside; it hadn't been in this house.But did that mean that the suspect list had changed?Definitely not. Kaden was still up the list, or rather, he was the only one there.I

    Asher's POV:Everything in me was screaming not to believe his words. Kaden had a proclivity to tell lies. Just like Tristan, there was nothing in him that would testify that he was telling the truth, nothing in him could even speak the truth. Instead, his tongue was made only to tell lies.And though the expression on his face mirrored one of confusion; with his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes darting around as if anyone around could give him a befitting explanation. But I knew it was a farce; everything about Kaden was a farce from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, he was carved in lies.As the seconds turned to minutes, so did my patience start to disappear and metamorphose into rage. The more he kept up with this act of not knowing anything, I was simply getting angry. I was getting so outraged I needed to punch something.So I grabbed his shirt.I was taller than him even prior to this, and I was probably only by a few inches. But somehow, it felt as if I had gained

    Philip's POVWhat was I supposed to do?What could I do to a man I used to consider my soulmate? My kin?I had loved this man that was bringing me so much pain and troubles. He used to be my comfort, the only place where I could totally be myself without getting judged or attacked. He had his shortcomings generally, but he was my friend, he was the most important person to me, and my family didn't even come close. Well, except Eunice.Eunice.There were no words to describe how I was feeling, but was I going to indulge in those feelings? Definitely not. I was never going to allow myself to get overwhelmed by my thoughts. Such misfortunes, such betrayal were common in a man's life. There was nowhere that it was written that your family wouldn't hurt you, and my family had brought me so much pain.I can't even mention my sister.And with this pain, I was still supposed to defend my newfound family; I was supposed to do something against my best friend.Granted, when it came to skill and

    Asher's POV:The mansion I was standing in front of was grandiose, even bigger than mine. There were flowers growing on the walls, trees placed only a few feet away from the mansion itself, surrounding it as if making a barricade. The windows on the walls were large, making the design of the place more fetching.There had been rumors that this place had been bought rather than built by the owner, and surely, I was beginning to believe it.The structure of the place seemed firm and quite sturdy, looking as if it had aged. There was a fountain only a few feet away from me, and the rushing water was almost loud. Almost.The guard leading me inside was generous enough to wait so I could soak in the beauty of this mansion. It was really one of a kind; the rumors were honestly cruel; they didn't do it appropriate justice.I didn't want to appear like my own place was bad because it wasn't, but standing there like a statue, gawking at the marvelous building, was surely going to send the wron

I suddenly got tired and then I left the party after searching around for the both of you. What would make you think I'm lying?"She suddenly went quiet and her whose focused somewhere else, "what are you saying?" She asked, "Philip isn't with you?"I shook my head, "he isn't, and if you say he's not here then I have no fucking clue where he is".

    Asher's POVI grabbed a drink off from the tray of drinks a waiter wss passing around. The spaces between people kept getting more narrow and weaving through them became a huge hassle.I downed the alcohol in a go and then kept the glass on a nearest table before finding a way to swim through the sea of people, so that I could use the bathroom.I didn't even know where the bathroom was located.I looked around some more. Everybody wore masks and I was sure even the celebrant had her own mask. I suspected this because everywhere I've looked, I haven't seen her face. Akk I could see were different colors, shiny or dull and just eyes.I wasn't particularly looking for her fir I had nothing to say to her, anybody that could lead me to the bathroom right now was going to do me a huge favour."Asher?"I immediately turned around and saw a woman standing behind me.She wore a silver dress embedded with stones that glistened under the light. Her hair was shirt and brown and so were her eyes.

Only a few people were on the dancefloor doing nothing really amazing.As we walked further into the place, a waiter holding a tray approached us holding a tray of masks and then presented it to us.Asher picked one and then Lyra did before i settled for mine.I looked at the two of them first and saw the design of their mask, Lyra's own had feathers, jt was blue with shiny stones and quite beautiful to look at.Asher picked something more manly, it was plain black and had nothing quite noticeable. He just tied it around hisbface and instantly he blended with the group. So djd Lyra.I did the same."Well," Asher said, "be careful". Again he was here with his advice.
