Asher’s POV“Damn, I think you’re in for a surprise.” Brent said as he sat across from me after we both had lunch and I was back to my office.I frowned slightly as I looked up at him from my computer. If I didn’t know him any better, I would have thought he was teasing me, with that stupid smirk he had at the corner of his lips, but he was serious about something, something he was staring down at.“What is it?” I asked and he waved the screen of his phone at me as if I should be able to see it and tell what he was talking about.I gave him a look and then he shook his head. “Oh, right. What I’m talking about. I just saw the guest list for your mother’s auction, and you’re in for a surprise.” He said.“What surprise, that’s what I’m asking you.” I said as I looked back at the screen of my computer. Whatever he was saying, it wasn’t making any sense.I grabbed the jug that had some water from the tray my secretary had placed there, and then I poured myself some water, then I started to

Asher’s POVTaking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I dialed my mother's number, staring down at the screen of my phone to see when my mother picked it up.The phone rang briefly before she answered, her tone light and carefree. I pressed the phone to my ear, and then I cleared my throat, so that my voice won’t come out croaky."Hey, Mom," I started, trying to mask the tension in my voice. "Brent just told me something about the auction... that May is on the guest list and she's being auctioned off for a date. That's not true, is it?"I just wanted her to say that we had got things wrong, that that wasn’t the case. I wanted her to laugh at my question and tell me that I was saying nonsense, but she didn’t.There was a brief silence on the line, and then my mother's voice came through, confirming what I dreaded to hear. "Oh, yes, it's true. May called a little while ago to confirm her attendance, so I've added her name to the list. Isn't that wonderful?"“Isn’t that wonderful?” Reall

Asher’s POV“Do you think you’re irreplaceable?” It was the first thing I asked my secretary the next morning when I got to work and she told me someone was waiting for me. My voice was laced with all the snakiness in me I was feeling lately. Okay, maybe I was just angry about the person she had told me was waiting for me there. Maybe I wouldn’t be this angry if she told me it was literally any other person in the world.But it had to be Gary!She stared at me as if I had gone mad, but maybe I had. “I’m sorry, Mr. Campbell. I don’t think I’m irreplaceable, I just didn’t know you wouldn’t like to see him, that was all.” She said.“How dare you be sarcastic with me?” I said, my voice so cold it might be able to freeze her if I put my mind to it. She recognized that voice though, and she backed off.“I’m sorry, sir. I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. I just really didn’t know. You’ve never had a problem with anyone waiting for you in your office until now.”Well, that was true, but that

Asher’s POVJust eight more minutes, and I would have been waiting a full hour for Brent. I hate waiting. I glanced down at my Rolex, shaking my head in frustration before returning to the glass of brandy I had been nursing since I walked into the hotel bar.Where the hell was Brent, anyway? As I scanned the crowd, my irritation grew. I had called him from the office to meet me here, and somehow, I had managed to arrive before him and had been waiting nearly an hour.If he didn’t show by nine o’clock, I was going to have to leave. Whatever he wanted to discuss could wait until tomorrow. I had better things to do than sit around in a bar.Oh, crap. I suddenly remembered I had the early morning meeting tomorrow that would run into noon, and the brief one with my father.“May I help you with anything else, signore?” A uniformed waiter approached, breaking my train of thought. Being in an Italian hotel, it wasn't unusual to be addressed this way, but I’ve never gotten used to it.“No, tha

May’s POV“Are you ready?”I squinted my eyes as I thought about anything I might have forgetting, chewing my lower lip as she did that. When I realized that I hadn’t, I blew out a breath and said. “Yes I am. I have all I need with me.”Emily smiled and gave me a thumb up. “Now that’s a smart woman, always doing everything in a smart way.” She said, and I rolled my eyes. She was just happy I was doing what she advised me to do, and the gist I would bring back.Opening the front door, I turned back to my small living room to look around. I was going to miss the cozy feel of this place, and I would miss it terribly.“Let’s go outside, May. You’re not going on a death row, it’s just a three-day trip you know.” Emily said from behind me when she felt my hesitation, and then she sighed.I nodded my head and turned to face her. “Fine, I hear you.” I said as I walked outside with her and locked the door of the house.I was going to drop Emily back at her place with her car that I was taking

May’s POVIt was evening when I got to the big iron-clad gate of the Love Castle estate, and I honked so that the security at the place would open the gate for me. I had only ever come here twice, and both times were with Asher.The first time, we had come here after our wedding, and the other time, it was for the auction I was here for again. None of both times did we have to wait because they had already been informed we were coming.Although, I was sure they were already notified that people were also coming to the estate today, arriving for the auction that would be happening tomorrow.A man soon appeared from the small security stand that was attached to the side of the gate, and he walked to me. He knocked on my window and I realized I didn’t know him. He must be trying to know who I was before allowing me in.“Hello ma’am. Good evening and welcome to the Love Castle estate.” He said with a pleasant smile on his face.“Thank you.” I said, offering a small smile of my own.“May I

May’s POVEllen was right, I love this place, the way it was so bright and homely, the way it looked like it was carved out of a modern house magazine.Wow! I thought as I stared up at the house. As promised by Aniya, someone already left my suitcase by the door inside the cozy but nice and large living room. I was almost decorated the same way as the one I just left Ellen in, but there was something different.I grabbed my suitcase and I walked upstairs to check out the rooms, and by the time I was at the top of the stairs, I was already panting like I was dragging with me something dead and heavy.What exactly did Emily packed in this suitcase? I asked myself, then I shook my head. If there was anything that should be there in there, then I had myself to blame because I shouldn’t have trusted her enough to let her do the last packing.There were three rooms upstairs so I choose the one that had the nicest feel and then I unpacked, seeing a lot of lingeries, like I was here to spend

Asher’s POV“The chopper is landing sir.” I heard the pilot said and I opened my eyes. Looking out the window, I could see my grandfather’s estate in sight and I blew out a breath, hoping I was ready to face my parents and everyone else.I had finally summoned the courage to put the thoughts of how the weekend would go and just embrace whatever was to come. It was just May after all, it wasn’t as if she was going to kill me or anything.I knew she had asked me to stay away from her which I was going to try to do. There was nothing I could do anyway, than respect her wishes.This all would have been a different story if I was the one doing the auction, because then, she would be in my space, a very small space compared to this one. My house was in Hudson Yards, in New York; a bachelor pad in the Middle Kings building, and that was where I took strangers too, not to my house, where May and I lived in.That was a mega-mansion in Lakers Community, Hicksville. I had bought the house just b

The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Forty Two
May’s POVAs soon as I opened the door of my room later that evening after Ellen left to go downstairs to get an apple before going to bed, I saw Asher standing there.“I can’t give you any more time, May.” That was the first thing he said to me as I looked at him. What the hell was he talking about?I frowned, biting my bottom lip. “Stop doing that, May. If you seriously don’t want me to ravish you right now, stop doing that.” He said.I was utterly confused, not sure I knew what he was referring to. I just frowned and looked at him. “What are you talking about?” I asked after a few more seconds of silenced from him. I had been expecting him to clarify without me having to ask, but he just stared at me.“Biting your lip, that’s what.” He said casually.“Oh! I see. Sorry, I’m not doing it on purpose.” I said and he nodded.“Where are you going to?” He asked me.“I’m going to the kitchen.” I said.“That’s good. Maybe we can talk there.” He said.I shook my head. “Or maybe we can talk h
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Forty One
Asher’s POVI stood by the kitchen door with my bag in my hand, listening to what they were saying; my mother and my wife.As soon as I got back from the office, my butler had told me my mother was around and that she was in the kitchen with May, and now I was here to meet them.But then I got here and I heard May said she was leaving. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. I even clenched my hands in fists, it was all I could do to not storm in there, grabbed her hands and drag her upstairs to show her why she wasn’t going to leave.“Again, thank you, but I can’t stay. I just wanted to speak with Asher before I left.” I heard her say. “And it’s taking too long for him to come home. I don’t know if you please tell him I said good-bye?” She said.Okay, that was the height of what I could stay here and listen to, because I was already boiling. But then again, I knew I couldn’t show anger because I knew she was also hurting.I grabbed the doorknob and pushed it downward to open the door,
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Forty
Asher’s POVThis was it, the height of the avoidance I could do, really, but I was trying to prove a point to May, that she needed me as much as I needed her.She was the other half of me I didn’t know before, or maybe I did, but didn’t want to accept it then. Back then, she would have been the one trying to get me to see her, now I was the one, and I thought avoiding her would make her see me.But it was killing me, really. I just want her to come to me already, and it was what I had been waiting for.Brent shook his head at me as he sat in front of me with his glare on me. “Just what the hell are you doing to yourself, Asher.” He asked.“What I think would work!” I said, but was it really working. "Look, Brent, I know it seems crazy, sounds so, even, but I need her to realize how much she means to me and I can’t do that if she doesn’t want me," I replied, frustration evident in my voice.I didn’t care right now, as long as I put it out there. I was tired of having to explain myself

Asher’s POV“Fuck baby, I just want to kiss you right now.” I said and I watched as her eyes went huge in her face for a couple of seconds before she closed her eyes tightly. I smiled again, shaking my head.Although, Gary had been an ass who just wanted me dead, but then again, he had given me a good advice, and told me to make haste when it came to dealing with May.She was my wife, but at this point, it was just in name only. She was not as close to me as I would want her to be. I wanted her back, the woman I had married, the one that would look at me like I was the only man in the world that mattered.I wanted the woman that always cared for me and put me first. Yes, I might have been the one to drive her off with my stupid opinion, but at least, I was trying to get her back now.I stared down at her mouth, as she licked it, but I knew it was because she was nervous. I liked it though, and I smiled again, before finally pushing my head to hers, and kissing her, pushing my tongue i

May’s POVA knock sounded on the door of my room, and I knew it was Asher before I asked who it was. That was the way he usually knocked. If it was the butler, I would know as well, but I asked all the same.“Who’s that?” I asked, and as expected, Asher answered.“It’s me, May.” He said and I sighed, pushing up from the chair in front of my dresser I was sitting to walk to the door.I had locked it earlier when I walked in after lunch to get a bit of a shut eye. I had just woken up about a couple of minutes ago, and I had washed my face, and sat down to apply some facial cream on my face.I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it open. “Hey, Ash. What do you want?” I asked as soon as I saw him standing there.Okay, I didn’t mean to sound like this, at all, so I would blame it on the fact that I had just woken up from sleep.He gave me a surprised look, like he didn’t expect me to ask him that, but then again, I wasn't in the mood to explain that this was because I had just woken up from s

Asher’s POV“I can’t believe you did all of this because of what Dad did, Gary.” I said as I stared at the man sitting opposite me with a table between us and a cop waiting in the room with us.It had been a whole week since they arrested that man and he had provided evidence that Gary had not only sent him to stab me, but kill me.He must have missed a vital organ was why I was still here, alive. I just couldn’t believe it when I was told Gary was arrested as well.“I wouldn’t say I regretted my actions, because I wanted you gone. I wanted to hit your father where I knew it would hurt.” He said, a small smile on his face, and I scoffed.“Are you crazy?” I asked. “I can’t believe you would do this and take it lightly. Look around, buddy, you’re in jail.” I said and he lifted his hand in a shrug.“I know that, don’t you think I can see?” he asked me. “But then again, I tried what I wanted to, I got to see your father’s face and the fear on his face when he saw your in that condition.

The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirty Six
May’s POVI smiled mentally as I did a small victory dance when Brent told me the police had gotten the man who assaulted Asher, and that mood had been with me since then.He had told me since morning, but it was already evening, and I was still happy. What more could I have asked for, than for the man to start talking, which I was sure he would do soon.“Mrs. Campbell, your husband want your attention in the study.” I heard someone said behind me and I turned to see the housekeeper standing there with the napkin in hand, making me realize that she was probably about to start on dinner.Why was Asher wanting my attention anyway, I wanted to ask her as I raised my brows but I didn’t. Instead, I nodded my head at her and said. “Thank you, Dee.”She nodded her head with a small bow and then she walked out of the living room. I turned my head back after she was gone to the book that was in my hand. I had been reading to while away time because I was starting to get bored out of my mind. A
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirty Five
Asher’s POVAnd as soon as Brent said that, the smile on my face faltered. This was just what I was waiting for. For some reason, I felt like May had been trying to stop him from telling me, but if that was the case, I wasn’t sure why.Was she trying to shield Gary, or me? Well, if I knew her as much as I thought I do, then she was probably shielding me.In her actions, I saw a familiar pattern of protectiveness that May often exhibited towards me. It wasn’t uncommon for her to try to shield me from unpleasant truths or difficult situations. She was probably doing this because she thought I couldn’t handle the truth of what they were about to tell me.Well, I would have to hear what all these was about to know if I could handle it or not. Just because I was just discharged from the hospital doesn’t mean I was some soft man that couldn’t handle some amount of truth.“Oh, yes! I would like to hear that very much.” I said, looking from Brent to my wife who was throwing him a look. My bes
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirty Four
May’s POV“Huh, I think I hear the door.” Asher said and I looked up from my computer with a groan. I had just finished cooking lunch, and came back to resuming work about ten minutes ago, now I had to stand up again?I was going to have to call back the domestic staff because I needed to be able to stay on top of work as well as taking care of Asher. Doing things like having to get the door and other things like that wasn’t going to work.With I sigh, I stood up. “That must be Brent. You said he was on his way, right?” I asked and he nodded.There was something different about Asher that I just couldn’t put my fingers around since. For some reason, it seemed like he was brooding about something.I couldn’t help but think that maybe it was because of me and the fact that I was back here. I knew he said he wanted me back, but what if he was not comfortable with me anymore? What if he was not feeling as settled as he thought he would be if I came back?I shook my head off that thought,
