May’s POVAs I mingled with the guests, I made sure to give each one of them all the attention they deserved. I was the host, just as Asher wanted me to be, so here I was, doing what I should.I mean, it was a skill I had honed over the years while I was married to Asher; the ability to listen carefully, and engage, making each person feel as if they were the most important in the room.The room itself was alive with the soft hum of conversation, filly with the elegant strains of music from the orchestra nestled in the corner of the room.I moved gracefully from one small group to another, my dress flowing behind me, the fabric catching the light in a shimmering dance.I noticed people's eyes following me, some with admiration, others with curiosity, and I met their gazes with a polite smile, a nod of acknowledgment.But there was one eyes in particular I was feeling the most, and I saw him earlier standing by the door and staring at me. I would give all I had; which wasn’t much, jus
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty One
May’s POV I blew my nose again into the tissue Emily handed to me, but I didn’t feel any better. I was standing there in the hall, just outside the operating room, waiting for anyone to come tell me what was going on, how the surgery went, but there was nothing yet. I caught my reflection in the mirror that was against the window in front of me, and I could see that I looked like shit, but I didn’t care. I had my mascara run down a line on both sides of my face, and my eyes were red from all the tears I had cried. “Are you okay?” I heard my mother’s voice behind me, but I didn’t answer her. Just how in the world would she think that I was okay? I wasn’t, but I didn’t care, so she shouldn’t as well. “Just leave me alone.” I said, mentally. I wanted to open my mouth to say that, but I couldn’t. It was as if my throat had dried up, and somehow I just couldn’t deal. I needed water, something to ease this pain in my throat, this uneasiness, but I couldn’t even go get it from the cafet
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty Two
May’s POV I wondered what was happening in there, and I just couldn’t stand still. I started to pace the floor of the hall, ignoring everyone because right now, they didn’t matter. Ellen and Bradley were still asking Brent some questions, probably wanting to know what happened and how it happened, and honest to God, I would like to know how it happened too. As soon as I left with the ambulance, Emily called me to tell me she was right behind me, and that Brent was with the cops. For some reason, no one could actually say what had happened perfectly or saw who did it. All they saw was blood and that was all. I noticed someone passed by him and the smile on his face had flattened, but I had been too focused on him to see who it was. All I knew was the man was wearing a black shirt, and a black… I couldn’t even be so sure. I hit my head with my palm, and groaned. “May, none of this is your fault.” Brent finally spoke for the first time to me, and I turned to look at him. He and Asher’
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty Three
May’s POVSomehow, Brent and I had convinced everyone to go home. Not only had they tried but they were tired as well. My family had waited for four hours, while my in laws had waited for three and a half hours.We still haven’t heard nothing and it was eight hours already, even after they had gone. I sat there with Brent, as Emily had just left herself, the scene of the accident popping up into my head over and over. Maybe I was thinking, that perhaps, I could notice something I didn’t notice before, or I could remember something I had notice but couldn’t remember.I couldn’t just sit out here in the hall waiting room, doing nothing but stare into space and think about nothing.I heard Brent’s phone ring and he said hello.“Yes, she’s still here. No, she won’t go home and I’m worried.” I heard him say to someone, but I wasn’t sure who.It wasn’t any of my business who he was talking to, though, what mattered was what he was saying. I wasn’t going home, no matter what any one said. Th
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty Four
May’s POVBrent squeezed my hand reassuringly. “You’re not leaving him, May. You’re just taking care of yourself for his sake. Trust me, he’ll understand if he wakes up and you’re not here, and that’s a big if.” He said.Okay, so he wanted me to leave, but he just had to tell me he would understand if he were to wake up. Well, I didn’t think so. The big if didn’t lie in if he were to wake up, not at all, it lied in whether or not he would understand like he had said he would.Because, I won’t understand that sort of thing, if I were to be in his place right now and I woke up to find him gone, not beside me, I didn’t think I would ever understand.With a sigh, I said. “How about you go home instead, see how that would be good.”He looked at me as if I had lost my head then he shook his own head and said. “Fine then, I won’t talk about it anymore.” He raised his hands in a surrendering gesture.After that, we both sat there in silence, looking at anywhere but ourselves.As we sat there
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty Five
Asher’s POVI wasn’t sure what was happening, but I could hear the beeping sound all around me, and it was so irritating. I would feel my head pounding as well, as if it my rolled off my neck if I moved too much.It took me a while before I realized where I was and why I was hearing the beeping sound. I was in the hospital, but I wasn’t sure I knew why. Maybe the reason was somewhere there in my subconscious.As I slowly opened my eyes, the harsh glare of the hospital lights stung me, and it pierce through the haze of the anesthesia that clouded my mind. “I need water.” I said, or maybe I just thought I said it.Everything felt heavy, as if I were trapped in some sort of surreal nightmare. Blinking away the grogginess, I tried to piece together the fragments of memory from before the darkness had consumed me.The first sensation that I registered was the dryness in my throat. It felt like I needed water, because of how my throat was parched. The next thing I felt was pain; a dull, thr
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty Six
May’s POVI was still thinking about it at the background of my mind, something I had seen that I didn’t think much more of before, or that I could remember now.“You should go home, baby!” I heard Asher say and I rolled my eyes as I looked at her.I was the only one that was left here. His parents and best friend had just left a while ago, and Emily said she would be coming soon. But I wasn’t going to leave Asher alone just because he said so.“I’m not going anywhere, Ash. Stop trying to run me off.” I said, rolling my eyes at him as I sat down beside him. I had been sitting on the small chair pushed up against the wall before, but now I was sitting next to him.“You look all tired, and worn out. You can’t wear yourself out because of me, baby.” He said and I beat his arm playfully.Baby, huh? Again with the baby card, are we? He had been calling me that since that first time I called him that. I had been so blinded by my emotions that I hadn’t put a pause to my mouth when I called h
The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Twenty Seven
May’s POVI sat down in the car with Brent, looking outside the window, with my arms folded across my chest, and thinking. I was back to thinking about what I might have seen, but I wasn’t doing that alone now, I was doing it with Brent.For some reason, we had both thought that there might have been something we saw that we didn't remember or think too much about back then because of the heat of the moment.“I think I remember seeing a man being dragged out of the party by the door because he was trying to use an invite that had been used before by someone. I remember collecting the invite, but I didn't check it.” Brent said, and I glanced at him sharply.“Why didn’t you look at it? Where is it?” I asked.He shook his head and said. “Well, for all we know, it might not be related to what we're looking for, I just thought to mention it because it was odd that someone was trying to get into a party he wasn’t invited to, just to come spend some money, seeing as it was that kind of event
