The Untamed Billionaire Forty
Asher’s POVI slammed my hand against my desk when I saw the newspaper my secretary brought in, and I wanted to ask her what made her think she could show it to me. But maybe she had done that because she didn’t know I was divorced.For some reason, the public hadn’t seemed to get hold of the news yet, and it wasn’t as if I sat my employees down and talked to them about my personal life.“This is crazy.” I whispered as I stared at the photo on the second page, as my secretary had brought it to me. It was a photo of May and Gary having lunch with a headline that read: WHY IS MR. CAMPBELL’S WIFE SEEN EATING WITH ANOTHER MAN? IS THERE TROUBLE IN THEIR PARADISE? OR IS SHE LOOKING TO BE IN A POLYANDRY?“I have to call the…”The door of my office dragged open and Brent walked in. “Have you seen the news?” he asked me as he held a copy of the newspaper I was holding in hand.Damn, of course he had seen it too, which meant that my father had most likely seen it as well, and shown my mother.

May’s POVThis was my new life, working and slaving like a dog so that I could pinch in every penny and save them for my family. I wiped the sweat that was in front of my face.Talking about my face, I had my face plastered on a page of some newspaper talking about my business lunch with my boss, and asking if I was getting married to him. People in the media were so petty about their opinions on other people’s lives, but I don’t care much about that.I was walking home late, I didn’t own a car so there was no way I had the luxury of driving, nor did I have the luxury of taking a cab. As soon as I got off the bus at the bus stop, I had to walk the rest of the way home, and trust me, I knew this neighborhood wasn't the best to walk around in late.Dragging my bag across my body so it was held closer to me, I saw a man and a woman walking ahead of me, so I felt a bit safe.I could have rented a place in a good neighborhood, but I would have had to spend the money Asher gave me on that,

May’s POVAs I struggled to get out of his strong hold, I could hear his harsh breath on the side of my neck. “You shouldn’t have run! We just wanted your bag.” He said into my ear, and I shivered.Goodness, I was in trouble and I had no idea how to get out of this one. This was one of the times one would wish those nasty reporters were following one, because they would have been useful right now. These men probably wanted the money I had on me.If only they knew I had nothing at all. I had my eyes closed, I couldn’t see a thing, but I knew that I didn’t also want to risk opening my eyes and having them see that I could recognize them.“Just let me go, please. I don’t have anything to give you both.” I said.“You said your husband was coming to find you if you don’t get home soon.” One of them said and I shivered. “Maybe we could get something from him if he comes along quick enough.”Damn Asher! I thought at the mention of my husband.If he hadn’t thrown me out and acted like I was s

Asher’s POV“Run faster, Asher. Run so much you can’t think about her.”I ran faster as I told myself to, not stopping even though my legs were starting to feel the pain. I continued to run until it couldn’t even feel it anymore, going numb.Her head thrown back in laughter, the way she put her hand on his shoulder, and let him touch her like he did, that hunted me, and to be honest, I still don’t understand why.This wasn’t fair though, whatever this was, overtake my mind like this and clogging my brain so much it’s all I can think about. The thought was overwhelming, eating my mind all up, and taking over every other thing in there.I heard a knock sounding on the door of the gym and I hissed when I heard Matias walked in. I could tell he was the one even without saying a word. “Sir, I have news for you.” He said.I continued running on the treadmill, waiting for him to say whatever it was he was about to say, but he didn’t. Instead, he repeated his words.“Sir, I have news for you.

Asher’s POV“Where the hell is she?” I asked as soon as I stepped out of the elevator of the floor with the VIP patients. After I talked with Alex Dunn, I called the hospital as well and I told the doctor to move her here.As I walked from the elevator with my driver closely behind me, I saw Emily walked out of the last door on the left side of the corridor and she frowned as she saw me. Must be surprised to see me here.I didn’t care what she was thinking. I have every right to be here as the next person in that room.“What are you doing here?” She asked me as she walked to me with anger simmering behind her eyes, those eyes that looked like they could murder me if care wasn’t taken.“Ask me that question after I’ve seen my wife to be sure she’s all right.” I said and she hissed, grabbing my left wrist.Emily was small compared to my big frame. As a matter of fact, she stood about an inch or two below May, so she had no leverage against me when it came to strength, but I let her stop

May’s POVWhen I woke up the next morning, I felt as if I had been run over by a truck with the way my body felt, and the ache in my leg felt really bad.I looked around slowly after opening my eyes to see that I was in the hospital. Oh, yeah! Those bastards that had attacked me from the alley had caused me to end up here.I tried to stretch my legs but I couldn’t so I just gave up, wincing as I did. I looked around the room again to see my mother perched on the couch, with Emily beside her, and when she looked at me to see I had opened my eyes, she nudged my mother gently.Quickly, they stood up from the couch and walked to me. “Are you all right?” Emily asked the same time my mother said. “Don’t try to move.”At that, I rolled my eyes and shook my head. My mother was acting as if I was crippled. It was just a wound from the shattered glass that was on the floor of the alley I had fallen on, and nothing serious.“Mom, please stop being dramatic,” I said, yawning and using the back of

Asher’s POVI didn’t mean to throw this in her face like this, but the way she was giving me the cold shoulder was getting to me in a way I didn’t like. I didn’t mean to do this to her on a hospital bed, but she had left me with no choice.I wonder why she just wouldn’t take my care, instead of just shoving it back in my face like this.“You can’t say you don’t know the money I am talking about, now, can you!” I said, even though I was sure that she had no idea. Last night, after May had walked me out of her room, I had gotten into my carb headed home.As soon as I got home, Matias had told me that Will had called the house and asked for me. At first, I had just shaken my head and walked away, to my room, then I had remembered that I hadn’t seen him at the hospital, so I had decided to call him back.When I finished my routine, working out, I had showered and then dialed his number.FLASHBACK“Hello, Will!” I said as I heard his voice on the other side of the phone. His voice was a li

May’s POVThat bastard was helping my stepfather again, and he wanted me to return every damn money he would be giving this time. Wasn’t I doomed?I really did have to work hard, because there was no way I could come up with that ridiculous amount of money Will had told me just on my basic salary.I was home now, with Emily still hovering around me like some big nanny. She was somewhere around the house, cleaning or putting something in order.But that wasn’t what was on my mind as I sat here on the couch. It was the he-gave-us-ten-million-dollars that gripped me in the gut and twisted hard the second I heard my stepfather talk about it. It was as if I shouldn’t have asked him at all, but I needed to know what the hell Asher was talking about.I remembered him offering to help my family if I attended his mother’s birthday which was coming up two weekends from now, but I couldn’t let him trap me like this again. If I took that option, I wouldn’t have to pay him back, but then again, he

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

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

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.

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

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,
