Lindsay's POV.

Asher got home that night drunk. That was the least way I expected him to be. I had expected him to be furious and probably choke me to death. Asher was a very confusing being. Each time I expected him to do something, he always did things the other way.

He staggered as he made his way through the front door while I stayed at the side staring at him. He looked at me for a while. I didn't know if he was angry or not.

He raised his hand to speak. “That was a really good act you...." He paused. “Pulled at my office today" he shook his head as he tossed his suitcase to the couch.

I didn't say a word. I was alert as ever. He was drunk and was probably not going to hit me, but i didn't want to take the risk.

He started coming towards me but I didn't move back because I didn't want to give him the impression that I was scared. He reeked of alcohol and it made me wonder how much drink he had had.

“Don't come any closer Asher?" I said with a stern look on my face. I thought he wa

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Shaun's mistrust

    Lindsay's POV I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came forth. He had already told me not to reject his gift. I couldn't even count how many times I had rejected his offers. For him to assign a bodyguard for me, that meant he suspected me or was it solely for my protection? I had to ask myself.“Shaun I don't understand" I mumbled as I turned to look at Shaun who had his intent eyes on me. it was almost as if he was watching every one of my expressions.“I need to be assured of your safety Lindsay," he said firmly and I didn't know how to oppose him. One thing was certain, I didn't need a bodyguard.“I don't need a bodyguard Shaun '' I blurted out and watched a frown appear on his face as he stared at me in confusion.“What do you mean Lindsay?"“I don't need a bodyguard" I said more loudly this time. “There's no point. I am not under any form of danger. Don't you trust me?"He stood up from where he sat and walked to where I was. I tensed up immediately because I knew if he touc

  • The Third Deadly Sin    The real victim

    Lindsay POVI turned to look at Jace who remained quiet. I was glad he didn't look at me like he was judging me. Probably he didn't want to disrespect his Boss's partner. Maybe he saw me the same way he saw Shaun. I pointed my index finger at him “You can't say anything to him” there was a stern look on my face to give him the impression that was as serious as hell."I didn't plan on saying anything,” he shrugged.I sighed as I leaned on Shaun's table."But you know I'm married right?” I needed to be sure."I am your neighbor, of course I do” "And” I bit my lips nervously. "you know how my husband can be”"I'm not going to say anything,” he assured me and for some reason, I trusted his words."Then we'll not be having any problem” I smiled at him. "Let's go” I walked and he trailed from behind.We got outside and he led me to a black car. Shaun must have assigned the car through Jace to me because he knew I wasn't going to take it if he gave me directly.“Don't say anything" I warne

  • The Third Deadly Sin    screw the pleated skirt, Asher!

    Lindsay's POV.“I'm not wearing this" I tossed the clothes Asher bought for me on the couch he was seated on. He looked up at me and then at the clothes before speaking.“What's wrong with it?" He asked and I scoffed. There was nothing particularly wrong with the clothes. They were my normal pleated skirt and loose tops, but I didn't want to wear them. I thought since Asher wanted me to make a good impression on his business partners, he was going to get me something more decent to wear.“ A pleated skirt?" I raised my voice at him. My overwhelming anger was due to what had happened the previous day. Each time I remember his body on me, it worsened the rage in me.“You wear those every day" he shrugged like he didn't care.“Well since I wear those every day and probably have hundreds of them, didn't that give you a cue to get me something nicer!"“They look nice to me"“So what, I supposed to look powerful and business-wise in fucking pleated skirts?“"I don't need you to look powerf

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Is she seeing another man

    Shaun's POV“I don't think she's hiding anything, boss," Jace said to me while I stared at him from my office seat. I refused to believe that. I was certain she was hiding something and that was why I assigned Jace to her.“How sure are you about that?" “I followed her home. She didn't do anything suspicious" “She didn't?" I leaned back on my seat“No boss"“That's good," I muttered under my breath. "Now listen Jace. I still want you to keep a close eye on her. Everything she does. Where she goes, who she speaks with and who visits her, everything okay? “ I instructed and watched him nod."Now leave” I ordered him and before he got to the door, I stopped him again."Jace” I called out."Yes boss”"Is she seeing another man?“"No boss,” he said and I noticed how relieved I was to hear that. Maybe I was indeed getting too attached to her to care if she was cheating on me or not. We weren't in a relationship or anything, but I still felt attached to her. I was selfish with her because

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Not one, not two!

    The business meeting went smoothly for Asher, but not for me. I wasn't angry at the fact that I wasn't going to partake in the contract signing. I was angry at how Asher's mood lit up when he realized I wasn't going to be a part of the contract anymore.During the ride home, he didn't say a word to me and I didn't also. I didn't have anything to say and even if I did, I was too angry to voice it out.“Thanks a lot" I slammed the door shut and walked back into the house. He drove off, which I was grateful for because I didn't want him anywhere near the house.It was still midday, so I had the chance to meet with Shaun after all. I had earlier texted him that I didn't think I was going to make it, but that wasn't going to work, because I needed something to lighten up my mood.I took a shower because I didn't want to meet with Shaun with Asher's cologne all over me. He was extremely touchy while we were in the meeting and I resisted the urge to shun him, but I didn't want to create more

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Ruthless Shaun

    Shaun's POV.“Bring him out" I instructed as my blood boiled in anger. The sound of muffles and struggles was heard from the closed doors as my men tried to bring him out. He was still stubborn and had a lot of strength, but I was going to break him. He dared to shoot at my house. I couldn't stop imagining what would have happened if I didn't push Lindsay back into the pool just at the right time.The man in front of me was going to cost me something important and that was Lindsay. I didn't want to get her involved in anything concerning my fraternity, but with the way things went earlier that day, I was certain Dromos sent the man to kill her. He probably wanted to have his revenge because I killed his son.I rolled up my sleeve and without warning, I punched him hard in the face. The impact made him fall over, but Luca and Franco raised him.He sat him down on a chair and I stooped to the man's level. “ I don't know you and I don't know where you are from, but I'm pretty sure you k

  • The Third Deadly Sin    you're my husband afterall

    Asher's POV“Well get it fixed before I get back," I said to Dante over the phone as I got down from the car.JEXS INC. I stared at the building in front of me. My wife's almighty workplace. I hadn't been there before, so I decided to stop by. I was supposed to be at my office, but it doesn't hurt to check up on your wife once in a while. Even though she was a pain in the ass sometimes.I walked to the receptionist. A blonde lady with an oval face. Her lips were painted red and they were curved into a smile. She was pretty, the type I would fuck. It wasn't so hard to get women anyway. They were only after one thing, looks and money. Well, apart from Lindsay. I didn't know what she wanted from me or from the world to be precise.“Hello sir, welcome to Jexs. Do you want help with something?“ I noticed how she smiled at me so warmly. Her eyes were flirty and I could tell she was already attracted to me."No, I don't. I came to see someone. She works here”"Who is it, sir?” "Lindsay Thom

  • The Third Deadly Sin    I had a husband and a kid

    Lindsay's POV.I flung my eyes open like I had been forced out of my sleep. There was one thing I loved about that morning and that was the fact that Asher didn't have his hand around my neck. He was probably out, I wasn't sure, but I hoped he wasn't anywhere around the house.As I slipped down from the bed, a groan escaped from my lips. My cheeks hurt and my head was on fire. My scalp ached so much due to his repeated assault on it the previous day.I walked to my mirror and I almost cried at my reflection. I concluded I wasn't going to meet with Shaun that day. The tension in the house was too much due to how Asher already suspected me and also I wasn't fit enough to go to Shaun's house.My cheeks were bruised just as I had suspected and my head had a little stain of dry blood on it. No wonder it hurt so much. Asher was a monster. How could he do this to me?I sighed as I walked away from the mirror. I prepared a hot tub for myself. Something I hardly did for myself, but I needed to

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Against all doctrines

    Lindsay's POVShaun laid beside me, deep in sleep while I stayed awake deep in my thoughts. He had assured me that Asher couldn't get to me in the house because of how secure the place was, but I still saw Asher as the psycho that he was. He might not be able to get to me today, but he would eventually. Even though it would take him years.The scariest part was, a divorce wouldn't stop someone like Asher. Only death and he was more like a spirit_ hard to killShaun tossed to the other side and I thought he was going to continue sleeping, but he raised his head and looked at me.“You aren't sleeping?" He asked tiredly“Can't sleep" I confessed and Shaun sighed as he sat up.“I already told you Asher can't get to you"“You don't know him. If he can't get me now, he would get me eventually. Now my daughter wants him. That means if he is able to get to her, he would take her and she would show no resistance" I almost cried at the thought of that.“That's not going to happen" he assured me

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Her Actual Father

    The next day I allowed the guards to follow me to the mall. I figured Shaun still insisted on me not going out alone. After hours of stubbornly staying at home, I finally decided to go to the mall with the guards. On getting there, I got to realize, Shaun bought the mall for 3 hours so that I could shop alone. I didn't know if he did that for my protection or if he did that to show me he had the power to do something like that.“Can we get that Mum" Leia pointed at a doll in an aisle we passed. I had to stop to look at it. When I saw what she was pointing at, I got to realize why she wanted the doll so much. It was the same doll Asher had bought her when she was 5.I sighed as I looked at my daughter whose eyes beamed in excitement as she stared at the doll in adoration. “We can't get that," I said and immediately her face dropped. She looked at me in confusion.“But why mum?"Did I even have a reason? Oh yes, I did. I wanted to successfully wipe Asher's memory from her life, but that

  • The Third Deadly Sin    way worse than Asher

    Lindsay's POV.Shaun got back from where he went after hours and with the way his eyes still looked the same way they looked in the morning, it was certain, he was still hurt or better still hated me. Could Shaun really hate me? My paranoid self askedI sat on the couch waiting for him to return for hours and the way he just walked past me hurt me a lot. Shaun in his nature would peck me on my cheeks or wrap his hand around my waist to acknowledge me, but this time he acted like I wasn't even there at all.“Is this how it's going to be now?" my voice was shaky due to how hard I was fighting the tears that threatened to fall. It was then I realized all the text I sent him didn't mean anything. Yeah, texts and calls weren't going to mend what I had done, but there was nothing more I could do.He flung his suitcase on the couch as he turned to look at me. “I am not ready for this Lindsay," he said calmly as he turned to continue walking, but there was no way I could let him leave me in t

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Asher in Shaun

    Lindsay POVThe next morning I woke up sore, like the 'I couldn't feel my legs' type of sore. It was a good type of sore, especially when my mind kept replaying the wonderful sex I and Shaun had.“Where are you going?" Came the raspy voice of Shaun as he turned to look at me.“I have to get Leia ready for school," I replied and he groaned.“Let Lydia do it" he was talking about the help we hired not too long ago.“I gave her a day off" I pointed out something he already knew, but probably forgot.“Let me take her then" he offered, but I rolled my eyes.“I still have to go work" "You can take a day off. You don't answer to anybody remember?” He was right, I didn't answer to anybody because it was my clothes-store, but it wasn't the first time he was asking me to stay back and I knew the reason even though he tried multiple times to deny it. I sighed as I turned to look at him. “Shaun the reason I brought about the whole job idea is to actually leave the house and now you just employ

  • The Third Deadly Sin    birthday s*x

    Lindsay's POVStaring at the black net lingerie from the mirror, clinging to my body at the same time exposing my well-cared-for curvy body, I know Shaun was surely going to go nuts at the sight of me.It was the night of my birthday and since he had made me happy, it wasn't a bad notion to return the favor. A sinful smile earned its way to my lips as I ambled out of the room. He was supposed to be working at that hour, but it was going to come to an end.I took casual steps down the stairs where he seemed very busy with his laptop. His eyes transfixed on it and his attention grasped so much that he didn't turn to look at me.“What are you doing?" I reduced my pace, walking towards him as stealthily as possible.“Trying to validate all these resumes. Plus there were changes in some of the products and I have to approve them" he said with a crease on his forehead. I could tell he was frustrated. I was going to take that frustration away.“You can take a break, Shaun. You are the boss a

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Asher was broken

    Lindsay’s POV We both watched Leia play on the swing. Shaun had been feigning anger since I had denied him sex and his act alone, I considered cute. It was good to have power over my body. Shaun understood consent and that was something I wasn't used to.“Tell me about Asher” I collapsed beside him. He seemed busy with his phone and I could tell from the way he snapped his head to glance at me, that it was the least he anticipated from me. “Why do you want to know anything about him?” he asked due to how haphazard the question was. And I was his wife I ought to know more about him, but I just wanted to hear about him from his own brother. “I want an explanation for why he turned out to be so heartless. Something must have happened”. His lips puffed out air. It was evident he didn’t want to say anything pertaining to Asher, but the pleading look I gave him made him reconsider. Reluctantly, he began. “Francesco had a rough childhood. My father had always been hard on him because he

  • The Third Deadly Sin    2 months of crazy s*x

    Chapter 68 I stayed on the bench, waiting just right outside the ward. Some of the nurses tried to talk me out of it, but I wasn’t leaving until I was certain Lindsay was okay. My legs bounce simultaneously as a result of my nervousness and my hands just couldn’t stay in one place. After about 6 hours of me patiently waiting/losing my mind, the door opened and one of the nurses walk out. She didn’t walk past like they always did. Instead, she walked towards me. “Mr. Marco” she called out even though I was already up on my feet in anticipation. “How is she?” “She is stable. We were able to flush her system and she is as good as new” “Can I see her?” “Yes you can, but she is still weak,” she said and I was already walking to the word before the last word left her lips. I opened the door to the ward. There was a nurse there, but the moment she saw me, she left to give the two of us some privacy. “Lindsay” I called out. She slowly turned to look at me. “Shaun” she called and that

  • The Third Deadly Sin    Strip him of everything

    Shaun's POV“Fine, I’ll do then,” Asher said and immediately after the words left his lips, he pulled the trigger. I had accepted my fate that I was going to die, but I was still standing there with a gun still in my hand. He had pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. The bullet of the gun he used had gotten finished. I could see the color drain from his face as he stood in front of me unarmed. He hadn’t spared me, so I didn’t think he expected me to spare him. With the gun still in my hands, I was about to bring him down when I was interrupted by the forceful opening of the door. One of his men came through with a gun in his hand. He was about to shoot at me but I was swifter, bringing him down before he could pull his trigger. That was the perfect opportunity for Francesco to get away. Before I could turn back to look at him. He ran past the front door, not after pushing me to get me unstable. When I finally found my stance, I began to fire, but he was lucky_ too lucky. He did

  • The Third Deadly Sin    The evil brother

    Shaun’s POV Bullets flew all over the place, guards dropped to the floor as their blood spilled on it. The best part of it was my men were winning. A guard approached me with a gun in his hand, but I was quick to pull the trigger before he did. Someone attacked me from behind, sending me to the floor. He jumped on me and began rendering punches on my face. He didn’t have a stance. With one flip, he was on the floor and I had the upper hand. I punched him till I was satisfied and when he was almost lifeless, I took my gun which had left my hand when I was pushed and I shot him in the head, making his blood splatter on the ground. It didn’t take time before we were able to take down every one of Francesco's men. At least that was what I thought until I was called by one of my men. “Boss” he called out and I turned to look at where he was facing. More of Francesco’s men trooped out from the house. Bullets went flying again as my men and his men began to fire at each other again. I wa
