May’s POVSeeing Asher again this soon after seeing him just before I was discharged from the hospital wasn’t what I wanted, but here he was in the same coffee shop I was getting some coffee from for the meeting this Monday morning.He was in front of me on the line that was moving toward the counter and I wanted to turn and leave, but this was a public place, and not his property. I wondered why he was the one getting the coffee on his own anyway when he had so many people who could have done that for him.When I was his wife though, making him freshly ground beans coffee was the first thing I did when I woke up every workday, and I would make sure to make it the old way, without the coffee maker, because I knew he loved that better.Now, he had to come here and line up to get himself one. This was so ironic and funny to watch. It was true what they say about not appreciating a thing until you lose it.I would say I wasn’t exactly proud of my dutiful wife duty, because I wasn’t even

Asher’s POV “What the fuck is wrong with this woman?” I asked myself mentally, clenching my teeth with my hands beside me folded in fists. The woman that was standing in front of me seemed oblivious to my discomfort, her flirtatious facade grating on my nerves. I was just reigning in my anger but she was making things worse. Didn’t I just tell her I was married, or did she purposefully not hear me mention that? I asked myself as I looked at her. She had on a pathetic act of flirtation going on and I couldn’t help but wonder what she thought she was doing. Her action was like a nail against my skin to the already frayed nerves. I fought the urge to snap at her, to express my complete lack of interest in whatever she thought she had to offer. “You don’t really have to play a hard to get man, I know I’m pretty and everyone wants me.” She said, and I wanted to scream at her that I didn’t want her. I wasn’t even in the least interested in whatever she wanted from me. I hated the fact

Asher’s POVThe world seemed to narrow to the space that was between us, or maybe it was my own accord with my hands that did that, bringing us together.Either way, I just wanted the warmth of her body against mine as I held her close, and she surprised me when she didn’t resist or push me back.For a heart-stopping moment, there was no one else, not the woman who had been too forward with me, trying to flirt her way into my bed and perhaps, my pocket, not the people waiting outside the bathroom in the cafe, just the both of us.When May looked up at me, her eyes were filled with concern, a softness there that I was used to before, but one I hadn't seen in a long time.Damn!I could tell that she still thought I had yanked her close to me because of the pain, when I didn’t even care even to notice it. "Are you sure you're okay?" Her voice was so gentle, so filled with the care that had once been directed at me no matter what. The concern she had shown me even when all I did was keep

May’s POVThe cool air of the office was a stark contrast to the heated atmosphere of the café I had just left, and it welcomed me with open arms, just like Asher’s arms had drawn me in.As I distributed the coffee to the people that were in the boardroom, I thought about the offer Gary had made me about not getting the coffee if I didn’t want to, and I wished I had taken it right before I said it wasn’t a problem.But I didn’t know I was going to see Asher in that café anyway, so I couldn’t be blamed. The people muttered their thanks, and light-hearted offer of gratitude made me glad I did went for the coffee.However, after that, I barely registered any other things they said through the haze of my own thoughts. “Thanks, May! You're so kind," Jenna said with a grin, taking a sip of her latte, but I didn’t even look at her long enough, or say anything in return.I just nodded. When someone else, I think Nora, thanked me for the coffee as well, saying something about me being a lifesa

May’s POV The humid air of the Lanzarote Airport clung to my skin as we strode through the arrival gate, and I just couldn’t wait until we were in the car already. At least, I was sure the car would have an air conditioning feature, so it would cool me down a little. I should have tried to tie up my hair in a bun before stepping off the plane but I didn’t think it was going to be this uncomfortable. My hair was sticking to my neck and making it feel itchy against my skin. If only I had thought of so many things, like the clothes I was wearing right now. I was wearing thick clothes, a form-fitting black pants that were free from the knee, with a black Cropped Grain de Poudre Wool Vest, so I was uncomfortable. I should have checked what the weather was like before getting dressed this morning. It was late afternoon, and we had been sitting on that plane for approximately seven hours if I hadn’t miscalculated. The sun was just about ducking in the sky, so you should know how uncomfo

May’s POV I started to say something, anything just to get them out of my face, but Gary beat me to it, his voice cutting through the attack, with a steady and unfazed look, and I wondered how he did that when I was freaking out inside like this. "We're here on a business trip, nothing more," he stated firmly, giving my arm a subtle, reassuring squeeze. That wasn’t even close to helping me at all, but I appreciated the gesture. Soon, a broad-shouldered man who I would later come to know as Alejo, Gary's bodyguard in Spain arrived at the place, and he walked towards us. "Por favor, hagan espacio," Alejo commanded, his voice deep and resonant. The crowd parted, although they did that reluctantly, and he walked to us through all the sea of questions and camera flashes. "Are you and Gary planning to stay long on the island?" a voice persisted from the crowd, and I wanted to haul my bag at whoever it was. Shouldn’t they just rest and stop bothering us? "We'll be staying as long as ne

May’s POVAs we stepped through the big front door of Gary's villa, I couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Holy shit, this place as swell.The grand entrance hall was even more stunning than I had imagined it would ever be. The high ceiling was decorated with a beautifully designed chandelier that cast a warm, golden glow over the marble floors.The walls were lined with beautiful artwork, and plush furniture filled the space, creating an air of luxury and opulence that took my breath away.This looked like I might have entered a queen's quarters in some century when that was in vogue. I said a queen quarters because one could clearly see all the touch of a woman around.As if Gary could hear my thoughts, he said. “This house belonged to my mother. Her husband willed it to her after he died, and then she passed it to me after that.”Her husband! I supposed her husband wasn’t his father, and as I started to wonder what the story there was, I told myself it wasn’t any of my business. In

May’s POVNora smiled as soon as she saw me and walked to me from the car, then I saw two other women step down from the car as well, with Alejo behind them, pushing their bags.“Hey, May.” Nora said smiling.“Hello, Nora. You’re here finally. I was really surprised to hear your flight was delayed.” I said with a smile on my face. I pulled her into a hug. The woman was a nice woman when she wasn’t in a nasty mood like she was that first meeting when Asher had come over.Or maybe she had been like that because she thought I was acting privileged, but after she saw how out of it I was, she had come to talk to me and we had talked things out.“Thank goodness I’m here now. I just want to fall face down into bed and sleep,” she said.It was almost lunch time so I said. “That's good. Maybe you can put in a few hours of sleep before lunch.” She nodded, and then she looked at the two women that came with her.“Huh, May! Meet Sandy and Tiara. They’re from the financial and sales department, th

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

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.

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

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

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,
