Asher Lancaster I couldn't tear my gaze away from her, sitting next to me, radiating beauty and warmth. Zara was everything I had ever yearned for, and the thought of a life without her seemed unfathomable. She brought colors to my world that I didn't know existed, filling my days with joy, love, and excitement.As much as I cherished her, I understood Zara's concerns about her mother accepting our relationship, given my family background. I didn't want anything to hinder our love, so I took matters into my own hands. The moment I knew I wanted to marry her, I sought help from Xena and Scarlett to arrange a meeting with her mother.The conversation was challenging, but I was determined to prove the authenticity of my feelings for Zara and my commitment to her happiness. After a heartfelt discussion, her mother finally gave her blessing, and a weight lifted off my shoulders. With her approval, I knew deep in my heart that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Zara, and I was read
Zara Howard After spending some time admiring the beautiful sunrise with Asher, we headed back to the resort, our hands still intertwined. As we entered the living area, I couldn't contain my excitement and happiness, and my gaze instinctively fell on my left hand, where the sparkling engagement ring now adorned my finger. It was a constant reminder of the beautiful moment Asher and I shared, and I couldn't stop smiling.I couldn’t believe Asher went out of his way to find the ring I wanted and got the exact same one.As we approached the others, Xena and Scarlett were the first to notice the ring. Their eyes widened, and they squealed with delight. "Oh my goodness, Zara! Is that what I think it is?" Xena exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement.I nodded, my heart still fluttering. "Yes, Asher proposed, and I said yes!"The room erupted in cheers and congratulations, and I felt overwhelmed by the love and support from our friends. Scarlett hugged me tightly, her eyes sparkling with
Hey beautiful people, Just a warning. This book is an erotica, which means 18+, so if you are uncomfortable with sex and adult shit, please don’t read my books.

I hadn’t had proper food for 2 days. My mom, who was a former Miss Universe, controlled my life since I was a child. Nine years ago, when I was only 18 years old, she wanted me to be Miss Universe too but I was the runner up, which angered my mom, so much so that she didn’t let me eat for 5 days as a punishment. People may think, just stop seeing her or block her out of your life. Yeah, easier said than done, right? But now, I am a successful model, and I am
Zara Howard It all happened so quickly, anyone could barely process how our living room turned into a gangster scene from a movie. A drunkard gambler who borrowed too much money from the Mafia and had nothing to offer except for empty promises when it was pay up time. Only difference was this time the drunkard was my stepfather, Chad Hudson and the Mafia was Asher Lancaster, the powerful mob boss, who brought with him 6-7 terrifying armed men. My mother was tightly gripping onto my arm as she tried to drag me and my older sister, Scarlett farther away from them. My eyes, however, were fixated on the scene unfolding right in front of me. My stepfather on his knees begging for more time, claiming that he would definitely pay up the next time, even though we all knew that even if he worked his ass off for a lifetime, he wouldn’t be able pay off his debt. Asher had made himself comfortable on one of the chairs. He was wearing a white button-up shirt, making faint outlines of his
Ten years later Zara Howard Walking back home after work is something I always look forward to. In those 20 minutes I felt the most in my element. Daydreaming with a pinch of overthinking? Yes please. As I plugged in my headphones, my mind wandered to how my life has played out in the last few years. It's been ten years since Asher Lancaster left our house after shooting my stepfather. My mother was deranged, barely able to maintain her sanity while Scarlett and I tried our best to calm her down. I still remember shuffling in my bed that night, hearing sniffles of my mother and sister as I wondered how the hell was our family going to survive considering I was barely 18 and Scarlett was 20 back then. No matter how shitty our stepfather had been to us, he could at least put bread on the table twice a day. I remember the very next morning, a mysterious envelope in our mailbox. It had a couple hundred dollars but that's about it. There was nothing else with it. It didn’t say who it
Zara Howard I iced my bruise as we sat in my room, wondering what we could possibly do about this situation. I am convinced our living room has a mafia spell. It is getting out of hand now. Why else would these gangsters keep barging into our living room demanding stuff? "We really need to do something about this situation. I'm scared to even step out of the house. I know for sure Victor show up at the restaurant and won't even bat an eye before kidnapping me. Oh god! The idea of being alone with Victor makes me so sick." Scarlett was clearly having a panic attack. I can't even blame her because Victor was pretty serious about taking matters in his own hands. "We need someone who can scare Victor." Scarlett said. Asher Lancaster. "Someone who is more powerful than Victor." She added Asher Lancaster. "But at the same time, someone we can trust and doesn’t end up hurting us." "Asher Lancaster." I said it aloud this time. "Zara, no please what?" I could see the 'you can't be se
Zara Howard I think the Fish is my spirit animal. All I've done in the last few minutes is stare at Asher like a fish and anytime I've tried to say something, my mouth opens and closes like a fish. We're sitting in one of his cabins. He's seated at his table while we sat just a few feet away from him on the sofa. I prefer the considerable amount of distance between us because I have a feeling I would combust if I get any closer to this man. "So, Miss Howard, what brings you here?" Asher asked, his eyes glancing between me and Scarlett, not knowing which one of us is going to do the talking. I try to mentally send a message to Scarlett begging her to do the talking because clearly by the looks of it I've done enough talking. "Uh we are troubled by this local gangster, Victor Lawford-" Scarlett begins explaining the situation and my faith in my superpowers is reinstated. Of course I was able to send her mind to mind messages. Okay wow nervousness isn't a pretty look on me. I need
Zara HowardScarlett and I headed back to work after our 'meeting' with Asher Lancaster. A 'meeting' I am definitely NOT going to micro-analyze and daydream about for the rest of the day. I decided to grab some coffee before heading to my desk. I liked my workplace and also the kind of work I did. The Lancaster Enterprises were very no-bullshit with the work they did, which made my job as an assistant very convenient. Ensuring meetings are coordinated, receiving-transferring calls and emails wasn't much work at all. I logged into my laptop as I sipped on my coffee. I am going to dive into work and not let Asher take up even a fraction of my thoughts. And just then, I was notified with a new email. Ha! This is a sign that Asher Lancaster has nothing on me. It is only a matter of time before I am flooded with work that I will barely have any time to even breathe, forget daydreaming.Asher Lancaster who?I quickly open the email to find elaborate details of the annual meeting of The La
