The Untamed Billionaire Ten
Asher’s POVA soft knock sounded against my door as I pushed up from the ground and I groaned with a soft curse escaping from between my lips. Looking at the door, I wondered who it was and why they were disturbing me this early.I knew it couldn’t be May, she knew not to disturb me this early, besides, my room was off-limits to her. Perhaps, it was the butler, Matias. O wonder what he wanted with me this early. Groaning, I walked to the door and unlocked it. I was right.“Hello Sir, good morning.” he said and I frowned down at the stout man that was in front of me.“I do hope it’s a good morning, but I’ll be able to tell from why you’re here this early.” I said to him and he bowed a little.“I’m so sorry for that, Mr. Campbell. I didn’t mean to disturb you especially when I know you must be busy with your morning exercise.” He said, and I started to shake my head. That was the thing with Matias. He never went straight to the point, always beating around the bush. The only reason I wa

Asher’s POVThe moment I walked into May’s room, I could feel the noticeable tension that was in the air. My mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, with May sitting beside her, a look of uneasiness on her face. I wasn’t sure how to tackle this, but I knew I had to do something to maintain appearances so I walked over and gently hugged my mother from the side, a small smile on my face.I don’t usually smile, because that would make people think you’re more accessible, which I wasn’t inclined to show. I was Asher Campbell, but for my mother, I would smile, even if it was a little.“Look who finally decide to come look for his mother.” She said and I smiled.“Mom, you didn’t inform me of your visit, there was no way I would have been able to tell you were here if Matias didn’t inform me,” I said with an affectionate smile as I planted a quick kiss on May’s cheek, playing my part in the facade.Mom didn’t know that our marriage was a contract one, one I was trying to get out of as soo

May’s POVI would love to know what Emily was trying to say as she sat in front of me at the coffee shop. “I still don’t understand what you’re trying to say, ‘Em. What’s this about?” I asked her.She had called me very early this morning about wanting to meet up and I had rushed out of the house to meet up with her, and now, I wished I hadn’t. I didn’t like what she was saying one bit.“What exactly don’t you understand, May?” she asked me, eyeing me carefully and I rolled my eyes.“Just about everything you just said.” I said.She stared at me for a moment and then she shook her head. “I know this may seem like nonsense, May, but think about what I’m saying. If you sign those papers like your husband wants, you get to leave and live your life, then he gets to realize your worth. The more you hold onto him, the more he tag you as some silly gold digger.” She said.I glared at Emily, it was all I could do actually not to chuck something at her head. I was feeling a surge of frustratio

May’s POVJerking out of his arms, I looked at Asher, giving him a look that said he shouldn’t think this was something it wasn’t. Asher looked at my face again, with an accusation in his eyes even though he didn't say anything, and all I could think of was what would be running through his mind presently.Holy shit, this doesn’t look good at all, there was no way I could explain this without it looking all sketchy.I felt his eyes on me, and for a moment, I wished he would just say something, anything, to break the awkward silence that enveloped us. I would also like for him but to look at me the way he was currently looking at me, like I had done something so grave.His gaze held an accusation that cut through me, though he uttered not a single word. What did he think he saw? That I was with Mr. Keith?All he saw was a hand wrapped around my waist, so couldn’t he just know that that could be because I wanted to fall and he had helped me up?Although, thinking about it now and saying

May’s POV“Be seated!”That was the first thing Asher said to me when I went down for dinner that night. He had asked the housekeeper to cook and asked her to also get me when she was done.There was no doubt about the fact that it was an order, a reminder of some kind that he was the head of this house, the powerful man people knew him to be, and the man who could still talk to me as he liked.I couldn’t say anything to him though. Aside from the fact that I respected him too much to do the opposite of what he said, I had been trying to be extra nicer than usual, just to pacify him because I knew he was still angry about the coffee shop incident.“Get us some warm water, Dee,” he said to the housekeeper, but my mind drifted back to the coffee shop, and the way Asher had acted when Gary had called me a beautiful woman. He had looked at me for what seemed like a long time, his eyes trailing over my body as if he was stripping me off my clothes and then he had nodded his head and said.

Asher’s POVSomething had been burning in my heart ever since I saw May with that man, Gary Keith, or whatever his name was, but I didn’t understand what that burning meant.Maybe it was anger, the one I didn't even think I could explain why I was feeling.Clearing my throat, I rubbed at my temple, and then I focused on the paper that was in front of me. I was trying to make sure everything on the deal I was trying to make was handled was there wasn’t any last-minute surprise.When I heard a knock on my door, I grumbled because I already told my secretary that I didn’t want any distractions. This better be good or she was going to be getting fired. I wasn’t even in the mood to entertain just anyone right now, and even though I didn’t want to admit it to myself, I couldn’t stop thinking about Gary’s hand on May’s waist, the way he had held her as if she was his, she wasn’t remotely his.That picture had been popping up in my mind since and even though I had tried as much as I could to

May’s POVWhat the hell was that all about? I asked myself as I walked out of Asher’s office. Why was Asher acting like that all of a sudden?Was this some kind of ruse or something? I shook my head as I thought about his actions. For the first time in a long time slash since our marriage, he was acting like he was my husband.Don’t be fooled, I told myself, because, with Asher, you can never be too sure of what to expect. It was just like he had treated me like I wasn’t so welcome right before Mr. Keith came. I wondered what he had come to see him for anyway.Getting into the elevator, I pressed the button for the ground floor and the door started to close, but before it could completely close, it opened right back and two women stepped into the car.I nodded at them with a smile but they looked at me like they didn't care I was there so I just looked away and focused back on my thoughts.The two women who stepped into the elevator soon started to talk but I decided to drown their vo

May’s POVThe sound from his shoes must have woken me up, and I raised my head from the kitchen table to look up at him.My breath caught at the way he looked so handsome and rugged, standing there looking like a piece of candy, even though my heart was still squeezing from the pain of how he had treated me in his office, and from the thought that he might be seeing someone else.That was the thing about this six feet three, delicious-looking man, I couldn’t stay mad at him for long, especially about something I wasn’t sure was true, but I was really hurt about his indifference towards me in his office. “I cooked dinner.” I said, standing up and looking at him as he stood at the door, staring at me with those intense grey eyes.Those darn eyes I had gotten lost in the first time I met him, a week before we got married. Although, I knew why my step father agreed to me marrying him, to get himself out of debt, but I couldn’t really figure out why Asher himself had agreed to marry me, si

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
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirty Nine
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
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirty Eight
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
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirty Seven
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,
