Chapter 130

Ash is genuinely having fun and he could end the fight now but he makes it last longer, granting brief moments of respite for Henry to somewhat catch his breath before the two clash again.Another thing Olivia cannot ignore is the way Asher moves.How adept and agile he is, swift yet always controlled, the experience and skills he honed throughout the years evident. It makes sense for a mob boss to know how to physically fight and defend themselves aside from firing a gun, but it also does not.Not to this extent.Olivia can tell Asher was put through self-defense classes, along with boxing and martial arts ones, among other things, and it’s strange. It has her tilting her head in wonder as she observes the one-sided battle, the questions that fleetingly arose flashing back in her head.An umpteenth element that Olivia muses about is how Ash circles Henry every now and then, tapping the sole of his naked foot on Henry’s immobile body before the latter moves again, shakily standing on

“Tournament. This is when he’ll reveal everything about you,” Henry says to Asher. “Dozens of bosses from around the world will be present, and almost every boss from the near city.”Ash falls quiet for a moment. Olivia peers at him, at Asher’s profile embellished with smudges of blood, and even like this Ash is pretty, Olivia muses, wishing to clean the skin of the carmine traces and drops.“I see,” Asher ultimately says and Olivia stands up, backtracking a couple of steps separating her from the wall.“That’s… That’s all I know. I don’t know what else you want but—”“This is enough,” Asher cuts Henry and retrieves the knife, blood seeping through the wound and trickling down Henry’s forearm. “You earned it.”“Earned wh—”Asher bores the blade’s sharp point on the side of the neck. “A peaceful death.”“You’ll start a war you can’t come back from, if you kill me.”“Let it be war,” Asher rasps, his gaze dropped on the way the knife slashes a path on the throat. “I’ll burn Nicolas’s cla

“Without an ounce of remorse or hesitation,” Asher immediately says. “You have to understand that I don’t let people cross my clan or me more than once. Ash does not. The only reason why Henry left the building alive the day of your moving out was because you were there. If you had not, Henry would be dead or held in my headquarters.”“Why did I make you change your mind?”Asher reclines and retracts his hand. “Because I wanted to hide Ash from you for a little longer.”Olivia curls her hand around Asher’s wrist. “You don’t have to hide Ash from me.”Asher opens his mouth to reply but Adam interrupts them.“Boss, any instruction for the body?” Adam asks and crouches to rummage through Henry’s pocket, retrieving a phone.“Get rid of it as usual and clean the place as well. Have some bribing at the ready in case the police get involved in some ways,” Asher says, the lollipop back in his mouth.“The car’s ready,” Walter adds after joining them. “We have a team checking Olivia’s apartment

Olivia often thought that a rejection could be the worst answer she could get, however the complete silence that trails after her question is suffocating and she wants to renege on her word but before she does, Asher finally speaks.“Because he must believe love and sentiments like those would make someone weak and vulnerable, and to some extent he was right,” Asher says, the nails of Olivia’s fingers boring into her palms. “In my world, loving someone puts a target on their back. They can become leverage against you or have you question your own decisions.”“Do you think the same as him?” Olivia wonders.“I used to.”Olivia straightens up at the words, unfolding her fingers to grip at her joggers. “What changed?”Asher stares at Olivia, as though pondering on his response and the gaze is the same as before, Olivia recognizes. The muted adoration Asher had looked at Olivia when they were in her bed is here again, and the hope ignites alive.“I did,” Asher says, eyes never straying awa

Chapter 134

When Asher hears Olivia argue with Adam and whine to him to back her up a faint smile tug on his lips. He wets his lips with an amused smile and starts answering her questions.“One: if you mean on an everyday basis, only me and my family live here. People working for me are given an apartment or house when they do so they can live outside of the headquarters if they wish to,” Asher begins.Olivia’s smile grows into a grin when Adam glares at her after Olivia whispers an ‘I told you so’ to him.“Some come to stay here for a while if their safety is at stake or if they simply want to, it’s an open house for the clan’s members. We have a second one like this but deeper in the forest and closer to the mountains, a couple of hours away from the main base.”“What is that second house used for?” Olivia inquires as she fully curls her arm around Asher’s when the latter makes no objection at his elbow being held.“We use that second one as a temporary home for the hybrids we help until all th

Their gazes meet and Mia interlocks her and Olivia’s fingers together as she would always do whenever Olivia would be upset or scared.“They don’t, Olivia. They really don’t,” Mia says and a reassuring smile curves her mouth. “Even close friends. You wouldn’t let me do that with you.”“No, of course not,” Olivia says and the relief that rushes through her is dizzying.“There you have your answer.”“This is… This is kinda scary,” Olivia mumbles, and tears well up in her eyes, the fear laced with her earlier realization clawing at her chest again.“It’s not—” She draws in a sharp breath, struggling to breathe past the lump clogging, her throat. “I don’t think it’s just a crush, Mia.”The admission is as terrifying as it is relieving and it blows away at the nebulous confusion surrounding it while leaving in its path a flurry of wonder and dread and ‘What if's.“Oly it’s okay, breathe you, idiot,” Mia says and she twists around to cup Olivia’s cheeks who bobs her head with a trembling si

More people arrived while she was outside and Olivia quickly scans the place brimming with life and festivity. It’s a little awkward and daunting to be surrounded by so many strangers, even more with her, she is certain, swollen eyes, and Olivia moves closer to Asher to find some comfort and support.Thankfully, as Asher and Olivia make their way through the living room and to the impromptu buffet, no one seems to care about Olivia’s state, the people around them are busy conversing, some even dancing on the makeshift dance floor.A few stop them here and there with a brief greeting or to welcome Olivia to the clan but they eventually reach their destination. “Sorry, they’re a tad too enthusiastic sometimes.”“It’s fine,” Olivia chuckles, feeling more comfortable.“Feel free to tell them to f*ck off if they annoy you, they won’t take it to heart.” Asher grabs a glass for himself and fills it with water. “Here,” he says and hands it to Olivia. “Drink some water before anything else.”“

Chapter 137

After his conversation with his brother, Asher roams around the living room and kitchen, speaking with his members, occasionally meeting gaze with Olivia.As time passes by, the night surrounding the house in its darkness, Asher’s tranquility wavers.It’s a simple curiosity at first: a dart of his eyes toward Olivia who’s speaking and laughing with Bruno, Asher is happy to see Olivia hit it off well with everyone.It changes to an annoyance that Asher attempts to discard when he watches how the distance between Olivia and Bruno slowly disappears.Olivia does not seem uncomfortable, thankfully, so Asher turns his back on the pair, assuming that not being plagued by the sight of Bruno’s flirtatious behavior would help alleviate his growing irritation.It does not, Asher bitterly realizes.It somehow makes it worse, actually, when not knowing what Bruno may do has Asher creating the most improbable and demented scenarios in his mind, like for example the one where he imagines Olivia and

Chapter 138

Olivia trudges to the group and she tries to get back into the conversation but her mind is preoccupied with Asher’s odd behavior.She glances at the mob boss.Olivia had never really seen Asher in his element, surrounded by the clan he built and created alongside his brother. Olivia has been watching him the whole night, stealing peeps here and there, observing the way Asher commands his underlings, this aura of authority natural yet calm, uncontested yet respectful and kind as Asher would give ‘Thank you’s, reassuring words and approvals to his members for a job well done tonight.So, Olivia quickly noticed the sour turn in Asher’s mood.The boss seems… pissed off, for lack of a better word. Asher’s gaze is darkened with a veil of ire as he surveys the room or peers outside the windows, leaning against the edge of the table.Olivia isn’t the only one to have caught wind of the mob boss’ aggravating temper if the way everyone deftly avoids the table Asher claimed as is any hint, non

Chapter 139

A lull floats between Olivia and Asher, one peering at the other while the second stares outside, and Olivia exerts a patience she hasn’t known very often, waiting for Asher to formulate his thoughts.“Ugly emotion,” Asher eventually says as he sits back against the table, facing the room again.Olivia’s lips part to ask what the mob boss exactly means by that, but it suddenly dawns on her. “Oh. You’re jealous,” Olivia uselessly states and it’s received by a side glance. “Of what?”“Who,” Asher replies and Olivia follows her gaze born somewhere in the dining room.“Bruno? You’re jealous of him? Or of me?”“Why the f*ck would I be jealous of you regarding him?” Asher snaps.“So, you’re jealous of him regarding me.”“Well observed, detective,” Asher mouths off with a downturn of his lips.“Hey don’t sass me. Pissed off you is surprisingly bratty,” Olivia frowns. “So, I’m right?” She’s momentarily distracted by the way the muscles of Asher’s jaw shift under the skin as he visibly grits h
