Grayson's POVThe door opened and it exposed me Asher who is chill, he seemed having the good day of his life and I'm confused what is the reason. "You seemed happy today, did one of your girls satisfy you on the bathroom or maybe you join them in the bath." "Wrong guess, Gray. I'm just happy because my day started without problems, and that's super relieving after all those struggles we face. How are you, by the way?" He seated. "Not good as yours. I still need to make sure all of my assets are doing well, especially since his target is me. Gerald definitely making new plans to avenge his ego," I answered. "Perhaps. What about Nicholas? Why don't you asked him for help? He know what you need and maybe he can help you out because he's genius.""When did you become fan of Nicholas? And you never praised him, so that's surprising.""Oh, I'm not praising him. I'm just stating all the possible facts about him that I can't do, and I'm sure he's happy to help.""It won't going to happen
Erika's POVToday is not a usual day. I head out to the shower and started feeling so hot, and I can't wear spaghetti strap shirts and shorts that can shape my body. However, I pick my loose shirt again and wear it. After that my phone rang, and saw my husband's name on the screen. He texted me. It made my day. I smiled after texting him back and head outside my room where I almost had an heart attack to the point punching our maid. "What the heck?! You startled me, Jane!" I said. "I'm sorry, ma'am. But there is someone wanna see you downstairs," she stated. I pull myself together and clear my throat, "Did you get a name or something?""No, he just said your friends.""Friends? I don't remember having one."Out of curiosity I head downstairs because I am confused who it might be maybe some colleague back then, or maybe someone I know. But to my surprise it wasn't the one I'm expecting to see."Mike?" My eyes landed on the man on his side, "G-Gerald?" "Good to see you, Erika."
Erika's POV "Erika?""Erika!" I turned to the person who keep calling my name and blink my eyes twice. "You calling me?" I questioned. "Who else among us has the name Erika? Well, I can't be named Erika because I'm a guy and you are the only person who can explains where the hell our maids are?" Asher uttered and my mind still processing because of what happened even though it's already pass."Erika?" He called me out again. I exhaled deeply, "I don't know. I just found Anne on the floor unconscious, and thought she might need medical attention.""And you call me instead of 911? That is not so impressive at all because I'm not doctor to cure her, and even a God."I scratch my head because I know I made a huge mistake calling him instead of calling 911, but he can't blame me because my mind still can't stop thinking about what happened to me. Especially since I have to think how to tell him about that freaking letters. "She just need water," Asher stood up to get a water to the ki
Asher's POVI brag inside Grayson's office and sat down just to relaxed myself after my tough day, but those stares giving me goosebumps that's why I don't have a choice but turned my gaze to him. "What?" I uttered because of his uncomfortable gaze that throwing to me. "Update.""Can you wait for a sec? I just need to breathe some air before spilling the tea, so calm down. I am going to tell you what happened.""I don't have all day.""Fine. I'll tell you what, Gray. She called me and I shouldn't come because I'm not a doctor, so are you happy now?" I answered. "No. Not yet. Tell me more," he stated. "What? Aren't you satisfied to my answer? You are hard to satisfy," I replied. "Tell me more, Asher. I don't have all day," Gray muttered. "What else do you want to hear?""I know something happened and you need to be more careful when it comes at hiding it, Asher. I need to know what really happened, and what is the reason why she called you suddenly."I chuckled, "Wait, are you je
Erika's POV"Grayson!" I quickly stood up after seeing him in the door, also causing my glass to slip off to my hand and break into pieces. I was too startled seeing him because he didn't even say a word, or maybe announced himself. I came from the kitchen to get myself a water to freshen up myself. Anne immediately clean it up, and head to the kitchen to give us privacy. He's not saying anything and embraced me, and that's surprising. Silence prevailed and it is not a normal embrace, it's like he miss me and want to make sure I feel his love. It made me feel very guilty about hiding the truth from him. Should I tell him now? "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly came?" I asked him although I know the answer. He touch my cheeks and gave me a quick kiss, "I just miss you very much. How have you been? I heard something happened.""It's not serious, so don't worry. I'm fine. We're fine," I answered. "You need to be careful, Erika. I told you not to be complacent on your surroundings

It's been a while since my mind begin to focus to my businesses, and forget all the struggles I face.For some reason I remember what Erika said. I was surprised because my brother approached her instead of me, and he didn't even harm her. I was astonished because he wanted to end what he started without confronting me. Now, I mess up because he speak with Erika about that deal.I have no idea how he found that out, but there is a huge possibility he run through my files and found that confidential file about our contract. I shouldn't have blend it to the normal documents and become complacent about my brother. He's looking for dangerous loopholes, and he found it without lifting his finger.

Erika's POV I'm trying to sleep, even though I can't. It's been 8pm in the evening and I'm still up because that words keep running inside my mind, and it keeps bothering me. I laid on my back and stare at the ceiling where everything is white. My chest was heavy, and I couldn't think properly.

I don't wanna make stupid decisions, including my stupid thoughts that keep making me super bad decisions. I sighed because my mind messing me, but I have to keep calm while waiting for him to return. Until suddenly I heard a car parked outside, and it made my heart skip a bit.

Erika's POVI am currently heading to our room carrying his breakfast because I woke up early just to made him breakfast, and also coffee for his hangover. At this situation my whole body is trembling to the fact he might forget all the things he said. I don't wanna rely on those words, but I'm really desperate. I open the door and ready to greet him, but his serious expression stunned me for a moment. I froze to my position, and my mind couldn't even process properly because of that face. Grayson has this expression that is enough to weakened me, and also mess my mind.But it wasn't enough to stop me from making a good impression to him, that is why I put down the tray on the bedside table to approach him.

Did I do something wrong?" He didn't answer, and remain facing the mirror. After that, h
