The Untamed Billionaire Seventy Four
Asher’s POVI couldn't help it; a smirk found its way onto my lips as she started in on me, and I could hear the blend of anger and exasperation in her voice as she spoke."Asher, you stupid jerk! What do you think you're doing?" Her voice vibrated with irritation, but I couldn't let that hinder me from doing what I wanted to do."May, listen all right. I…” I started to say but trailed off when she interrupted me."No Ash, you listen! You can't just barge in here, turn my life upside down, and then manhandle me into listening to you!" Her chest heaved with every breath, her eyes ablaze with a fury that had probably been simmering long before I showed up in her. “That’s not going to work, at all.” She said."Okay, okay, I might've deserved that," I raised the hand I had propped up between us, trying to keep the situation from escalating. "But come on, can you blame me for trying? For wanting a chance to fix things?"She snorted, and I could tell it was a sound that came from a place of

Asher’s POVI stripped off my clothes and walked to the bathroom, and then I stepped into the shower and turned it on, letting the water stream down my hair to my shoulders, and my back.My head so pounding, bug I hoped that this cold water against my skin was going to help. That wasn’t my problem though, my problem was May, and the way she had been on my mind.It was really bad.It was getting so bad that I only had to sit alone and then my mind would go to her. It was so bad that, every day, I needed to get myself off to stop myself from thinking about her.When I thought of her, I grew hard, painfully hard, and I would have to force myself to think of something else to make it deflate. I had to get some kind of relief, at night or even in the morning of every goddamn day.As I leaned back against the cold tile to wrap my hand around myself, then I cursed. For how long was I going to continue this? I had just sent away the woman when she wanted to be with me just because I thought s

May’s POVStill clad in my purple blouse and black skirt, with my hair a tangled mess, and my eyes heavy with lack of sleep, I hoped that the elevator would close and just take me to my floor.All I wanted was to have a quick shower, microwave something for dinner and then lie down on my couch to reply all my mail, before I go to sleep. It was a Thursday and I have work tomorrow, or I would have just stayed up and binge-watch another season of Designated Survivor.I would have done that to avoid thinking of my husband, Asher, who suddenly wanted me back in our marriage, the one he had led me out of. Actually, I really wanted not to think of him so I stopped myself.Then my phone rang, causing me to jump, but I was glad it pulled me out of my thoughts. I groaned when I pulled it out of my back and stared at the screen. It was Gary's number. "Now what?" I muttered under my breath“Hello, Gary!” I answered the call, with a frown on her face, wondering why he was suddenly calling her duri

May’s POVAs I let the water run over me, the steam created a thick fog around me as I tried to let the stress of the day wash away with it.“I’m so tired, I’m aching badly.” I whispered, using my hand to massage my neck.The hot water was a small comfort, but my mind kept racing; Gary's abrupt demands that I came over to his place, the file I had to bring, the work that awaited, and then Asher, with his soft voice and pleas for a conversation I wasn't sure I wanted to have.I had been expecting him to call me though, since the last time we spoke in my room, and I had promised him to think about what he said, but he hadn’t. I was grateful though, that he didn’t call, because I wasn’t even ready to talk about it.I didn’t even think about it like I promised I would, because every time I started to, I would think of all the other bad things that had happened.Sighing, I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a white clean towel, then I wrapped it around my body. I grabbed around and twis

Asher’s POVI’ve been waiting all day for her, well, not all day, but two freaking hours. I’ve been here since ten twenty something if I wasn’t wrong, and this was almost twelve thirty.Was something wrong with her?Had she forgotten?Was she late because she was held behind by work? Was she with Gary right now instead of being with me? That was all I could think about. I had texted her and even called her but there was nothing.Must be something that was keeping her. Well, I was going to have to leave when it was twelve thirty. I couldn’t just sit here and wait for May when I had a lot of work to do, I also had a meeting by one thirty so it was going to have to end, my wait.I turned my hand to glance down at my wristwatch, and I saw the time was racing by. But why the fuck wasn’t she here right now? I mean, I had texted her even after our call last night and I had done the same thing this morning, so I don’t think this none appearance was because she forgot about it.“Calm the heck

May’s POVPulling at the sleeves of my soft pink cardigan, I stifled a yawn and glanced at the door of Gary's office. “Oh goodness, I’m so tired I might fall on my feet.” I whispered as I typed in the last sentence on the stupid file I was working on.I had been working on the file since I came in this morning, but it was taking more time than usual. Thankfully, I was done now. I just have to check for any mistakes, that was all.Damn, why do I have to work this long? I had been working since yesterday morning, and even though I knew I would be paid for all the overtime, the way my body felt wasn’t letting the thrill of joy from the money to come excite me.Not even one bit.As I thought about it, I just groaned and scrunched up my face in displeasure. I mean, I was feeling uncomfortable now too. I was still in the same black jeans and pink cardigan from last night, when I had arrived at Gary's place for what was supposed to be a brief work session.It had stretched on through the nig

May’s POVThe silence in the elevator was thick, pressing against me as I reached into my bag and fished out my phone. I haven’t even seen that item for the whole of the morning I was at my desk for.I had set it to silent last night, not wanting to be disturbed while Gary and I worked, and somehow, I had forgotten about it, or I would have changed it back to normal.As I flicked the screen to life now, I saw the missed calls and unread texts pile up, all from Asher. He had been trying to reach me, and I hadn’t even known about it. I quickly shot him a text: "So sorry, got held up. Leaving now. Be there ASAP."Damn it, I thought, my heart sinking. I had kept him waiting without even meaning to. Asher wasn't the kind of person to wait around, and I knew this could seem like I was paying him back in his own coin. I mean, it wasn’t a big deal if I was to think about all the times he had ignored my texts and avoided my calls, but I wasn’t doing that.“Damn!” I whispered. I was really late

May’s POVThe loud banging jolted me from a restless sleep I didn’t even realized I was in, my body protesting. Damn, it was aching from the cold, hard floor I had collapsed on hours before.How in the world had I ended up sleeping on the floor right here at the door when I had only remembered crying as if my life depended on the tears that were coming?My back ached with a dull, persistent throb, and a groan slipped through my lips as I struggled to stand. Damn, not even that was easy.I heard the banging against my door again and I furrowed my brows in confusion. At the rate whoever it was was banging against the door, one would think I was owing them a shitload of money. Except, I don’t have debtors. I hated being in debts, and so far, I had avoided it.If it wasn’t my stepfather’s debtors tracking me down here, then I had nothing to worry about."Okay, okay, I'm coming! Don't break down the door!" I shouted, my voice laced with annoyance and fatigue. It was only after the words ha

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

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
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,
