The Untamed Billionaire Eighteen
Asher’s POVMy cell phone beeped and I slid out of my suit's inner pocket, glancing at the number before I picked it up. It was my mother, and I grumbled.Don't get me wrong, I was always glad to speak with my mother, any day, any time, but I knew she was calling me now to make a fuss. Dad already told me she was going to call me.I picked the call and pressed the phone to my ear. “Hello, mother.” I greeted in a not so happy voice.“Asher, can we meet tomorrow? I have something to discuss with you.” She said. Of course, she always had something to discuss with me. I knew that she was going to talk to me about what she told May when she came home to the house, but I wasn’t going to give her the chance to.“No mother, I have a lot of important meetings to attend tomorrow.” I said.I knew my mother enough to know that she wasn’t going to let it end at that. “What are you talking about? You have important meetings to attend?” she asked and I could imagine her pushing her brows up in quest

Asher’s POVThe game was getting boring, or maybe it was because my mind wasn’t here, but either way, I was losing my interest. I was in the the VIP section of Club 69 with Chanel and we were waiting for my best friend to join us, but that seemed like it was going to take forever, as he said he was delayed in a meeting.That was surprising though, seeing as he was the one that called me out tonight to get things off my mind. I blew out a breath and folded my arms, as I watched Chanel picked her drink and took a sip, but my mind was on May.I still wasn’t picking her calls, but I’ve read every single text she had sent me, and none of them indicated she was ready to sign those papers. I hated our forced marriage so much, and she should too if she didn’t have the ulterior motive to dig as much gold as she could from me.There was something else I hated though, the fact that it seemed like I didn’t have any control over this situation anymore. I was a powerful man, almost on top of any s

May’s POVIt’s been fifty two calls,Twenty eight emails,And over a hundred texts to Asher. Guess how many replies I’ve gotten? None! Even right now, as I pressed the phone to my left ear and waited as the ringing continued, I knew there wasn’t going to be any response from him, but I was still hoping. Just what the hell was his problem? What the hell had he been doing that was taking so much of his time he couldn’t pick any of my calls, or be bothered to call me back. I wondered why he hated me so much, leaving me here all alone without even bothering to talk to me, or see if I was doing okay. I was here all alone, well, alone in the house with the butler who I haven’t even seen since last night after he dropped the envelopes from the mailbox on the kitchen counter.Maybe I should have just listened to Emily and gone with her to the club like she had suggested when I called her this afternoon. Damn, I wasn’t even sure of what to do with myself anymore.The only compensation was t

May’s POVA tiny shiver went through me and I swallowed hard when I saw Asher, and it made me suddenly felt hot. This was how I always felt when I saw him anyway. All I had to do was be in the same room with him, that was all it took and I would feel like this, but the feeling disappeared when I saw the woman from the picture beside her.My already sore throat became even more painful than it already was. I could feel my throat heavy with a lump that formed there and I wanted to rub my eyes just to be sure I wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating.I never really couldn’t understand why he suddenly wanted a divorce when it wasn’t even thr three years as stated in the contract, yet.Could it be because of this woman? I shouldn’t even be questioning the reason. That was obviously why he wanted a divorce all so suddenly, finding fault in me and all I do, saying I was a good digger who was jobless and all.As I walked behind Brent; Asher’s best friend, towards them, I could see that there was a

May’s POVAll I could see was red. I just couldn’t believe this, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing as well. This man was telling me to know my place when I was his wife, and my place was asking him who the hell this woman was.Some things were always just coming to me as a shock, because never would I think that this was possible. How could I have put myself in this position anyway? What in the world did he take me for?I looked at Asher for a long time, or maybe it was the anger that was in me, the one that was making my blood boil that made time looked stretched.I couldn’t even believe we were having this conversation. Thoughts tumbling through my head made my head started to pound as I watched him stood there like nothing even happened.He was not even looking at me anymore, like the sight of me repulsed him, or as if he couldn't even care enoughto do so.“So you’re not even going to tell me who that woman is?” I asked him and he looked at me again, sparing me another look. As

Asher’s POVAs I lunged for her, my intention was to grab her, shake her, and tell her I didn't cheat. I wanted to let her know I wasn't a cheater, but I didn't expect what she did in response.May grabbed the cup that was on the table nearby, the one that was filled with water but must have been left there in a rush, and before I knew what was happening, she splashed the water across my face. I could see that she had regretted her action the moment she did that, because her eyes went huge in their socket.She was shocked by her action, just as I was also surprised she had done that, and I stared at her, anger ticking in my blood. What I wasn't sure of was who I was angry at, at all.Was it myself for letting things go this far? Was it her for emptying the contents of the glass cup against my face.I loved the banter between us because this was the first time she wasn’t trying to say she was sorry about something, or looking at me with pathetic eyes, so I was quite enjoying it until I

Asher’s POVAttraction danced between us as our gaze locked and we did nothing but just breathe in sync. This wasn’t expected but it was happening anyway. As a matter of fact, when I dragged her here, I didn’t think this was going to be happening right now.“What the hell am I doing?” I asked myself, but with my hands still on her hips. It was as if they were glued there and I was unableto remove them.I saw why Gary was trying to be sweet to her, to get easy access to get in her pants. She was gorgeous, and I knew he wouldn’t be the first or the last man to fall at her feet.She had a face and a body that could tempt the devil himself, so right now, I shouldn’t be criticized. I couldn’t even control the situation as it was. Why was I here, holding this woman in my lap and staring at her without knowing what to do?Trust me, if any man were to be in my situation right now, they wouldn't be able to do any differently, seriously.She was making my heartbeat spike so quickly and without

May’s POVI couldn’t believe what my mother said, but then again, I wouldn’t blame her. If I was in her shoes, maybe I would say the same thing.That was a fat lie, I wouldn’t tell my daughter to put up with her cheating husband, the one that didn’t respect her, or rate her at all. Aside from seeing her with that woman at the club, he had dragged me to some room to humiliate me.That was certainly not what I would tell my daughter at all.“Mom?” I called, giving her a look that should tell her I was confused. “How can you even say that?” I asked. “I just told you my husband cheated on me and that’s all you can say?”“Did you just explain that you didn't catch them doing anything?” she asked me.“Does that justify cheating then?” I asked right back instead of answering.“Don’t ask stupid questions you don’t want answers to, May. But since you ask that, let me answer you.” I watched my mother stood up from where she sat to come sit beside me. She picked up my left hand and held it in he

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,
