The Untamed Billionaire One Hundred and Thirteen
May’s POVI glanced at my phone as it buzzed on the dresser, half expecting another message from Asher. As I picked it up, I wasn't surprised to see his name flash on the screen, signaling another message asking me to come to his house for our meet-up.It was the third time he had done this; the first had ended in a tense conversation about our divorce, and after I had flatly refused the second invitation, I was even more hesitant now.What was his problem by the way? And why did he keep changing the venue of our meeting as if the work we were to do wasn’t important, or it was something she could play with.I looked down at my phone again to see if I should leave it unread or not, and I was still deciding that when another message appeared.“This is the butler, I'm using Mr. Campbell’s phone. He said you had to come home because he was feeling weak, but I've been trying to force him to go to the hospital, and he's refusing. He's been running a temperature since."I read it out loud, w

Asher’s POVAs I sat behind the mahogany desk that anchored my office, the last person I expected to waltz through the door was Gary. This man was just always showing up where he was not wanted.Although, my secretary had called to let me know he was coming, but still…I eyed him warily, my guard up, wondering what he was doing here again this time. “What do you want, Gary,” I said, my voice sounding bored.“I came here to talk, and it’s important,” he said, shrugging.What the hell? Was he here to talk about what he and I had agreed to do, and back out? Was he here to say he couldn’t put May on the account anymore, because if he thought for once that I wouldn’t pull him out entirely, then he had another thing going.I was not going to let him do that without a fight. He had probably thought that there was nothing I could do about him being on the account now."Relax, Asher," Gary said with that sly grin of his, casually taking a seat opposite me. "I'm not here to stir up trouble. In

May’s POVI was seated on my couch in the living room this Saturday afternoon when I got a text from Asher. Without opening the text or reading it at all, I groaned.Just what was the problem this time? I asked myself. Just one more invite to his house, and I might just blow up anger.Emily glanced at me with her eyebrows pushed up in question. “What's going on, May?” she asked me.Of course, she was going to ask me because of how I have exclaimed, but the fact that I haven't even checked the text yet, made it difficult for me to explain what made me groaned. All I asked for was a Saturday to myself, but even that seemed to be too much.Why won’t I just get a damn break, for crying out loud, one that I not only deserved, but I’m overdue for. I had been working so hard for the past week as if my life depended on it.I slumped deeper into the couch to rest my back as I stared at my phone but without making a move to see what it was about.To be honest, I was feeling frustrated, and it f

May’s POVGeez, I should pay my rent soon, but I had to send some money to my mother. She needed some for my sister’s school.Sighing, I looked at the screen of my computer where I was staring at my bank statement for that month, and I shook my head. I was spending much more than I was earning, leaving barely enough for myself.This wasn’t good at all.After I pay for my sister’s stuff, I barely have enough for grocery to last me a month, enough to tide me over until I got the salary for the next month.I shook my head again. I couldn’t continue to live like this. Gary was paying me enough actually, but as it was, I was spending almost every penny on my family, and somehow, that step father of mine thought I was just stingy with my “money”, whatever that meant.With one last look at the amount I was sending to my mother, I clicked the button to send it.“The landlord with have to wait this one out. He knows I don’t owe anyway.” I whispered to myself. I would have to withdraw the rest

May’s POVAs Asher strolled towards us, his presence seemed to command the attention of the entire space. His tailored suit exuded sophistication, and every step he took exuded confidence. It was as if he was stepping out of a model magazine, but one under Forbes.I couldn't help but let my gaze linger on him, admiring the way he carried himself with such ease and assurance. This was a nice time to show up, looking all dreamy like this, even though I wasn’t expecting him.Really, though, I was surprised to see him. It was like those movie scenes or a chapter in a book when the male lead showed up just right about when the female lead needed help. But what truly caught me off guard was the realization that this was Asher. I hadn't been expecting him to be here, standing before me right now."Oh, so you're this woman’s husband.” He asked, but it wasn’t a question. “I see. Listen man, tell your wife to pay her rent." His tone softened a little because Asher was pretty intimidating, with

Asher’s POVThe gala was in full swing, and all I could do was wait by the damn door and stare at May as she moved from one place to the other, with a smile on her face, doing her job as a host, just right.I stared at her, watching her, bidding my time, waiting to pounce like I knew I would. I needed a way in, but I haven’t seen one yet.I could see her best friend, Emily, also walking around and smiling with a champagne glass in hand. She was with that man I first saw May with and I got jealous. I had later learned that he was Emily’s cousin, not someone May had interest in.I was back to staring at May, as she walked from my client, to another, to one board member to the other, to my parents, and I could tell I was drooling. How was I so blind to let what I knew about her stepfather blindsided me into thinking she was a gold digger.Behind me, I felt someone there standing, but I didn’t say anything because I was too focused on May. “You should go to her, standing here won’t do any

Asher’s POVI was still processing our conversation when Brent approached me, his brow furrowed in confusion. "What was Gary doing here? And what did he say to you?" he asked from behind me, making me feel a déjà vu.What was it about tonight and being whispered to from behind, anyway? I glanced back at the spot where Gary had been standing moments ago, where I had just been feeling the importance of his advice, at Brent. He was looking at me with his eyes squinted and I wondered what was going through his head."Gary's the reason I organized this gala in the first place," I admitted, my voice steady despite the uncertainty I felt. "He told me it would be a way to get closer to May, to show her that I'm more than just the guy who jumped to the wrong conclusions about her." I told him, letting him see why it was important Gary was here before.Brent's eyes widened in surprise, and he shook his head, disbelief etched across his features. "I can't believe you, Asher. You're really goin

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 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. H
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,
