All Chapters of CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42 What are we? Stranger.Mia paced back and forth, sparing her father a glance on the bed where he laid looking extremely white. She couldn’t wait for him to wake up and hear about what had transpired between him and the contractor, her mother had told her a little on how their wood supplies had not been delivered and him asking for another batch by being paid the rest of the money.About fifteen minutes later, Liam stirred in his sleep and coughed slightly. Mia rushed to his side as he made an attempt to sit up and she helped him up while propping a pillow behind him to enable him rest his back.“Are you okay dad?” She queried looking worried.“I am fine my dear. How are you?” He looked around only to find Mia by his side. “Also where is your mom and aunt Harriett?”“They are both at the shop, a whole lot of orders are on ground. The doctor had assured us that you were only stressed and needed to rest so I had offered to stay with you. Are you feeling better?”“Yes, I am per

Chapter 44 The New Guy“I can’t believe Asher is coming home after such a long time.” Amanda said excitedly to her husband as she arranged the room Asher was to sleep in. She had asked the helps to not worry and that she wanted to take care of her son’s room herself.“It’s surreal. It’s almost like ages since I last saw him.” Fred agreed.“Even though he says he is coming just for the baby’s dedication, I feel he is here for her.” Amanda picked her words carefully, almost scared to make mention of the name.“I do know what you mean Amanda, but don’t you think it’s high time they settle their scores now that she is around?”“Yeah, maybe, he does need the closure. My poor boy has gone through so much, I can’t wait to have him back. And I do hope he isn’t bringing that slut to my house!”“What slut again Amanda?” Fred again.“Catherine Walter!” Amanda stated while rolling her eyes.“I doubt he would.”“He had better not or I would have her thrown out without a single thought.”Seeing her

Chapter 46 A rollercoasterCatty held her breath and she released them after closing the door. She should have known better before deciding to drop by Asher’s office without a fore notice. Her father had informed her of Asher's intention to stay back till the project of library was complete. She wondered how her father got a hold of such information, but what worried her the most was why Asher would change his mind in such short notice. He didn't bother to ask her to stay which implies he had no intention of keeping her in the know.Not thinking it through, she had paid him an unwanted visit and he didn't take it lightly with her. He was in one of his sore moods and judging by the look on his face he was expecting someone else. He didn't wait for her to exchange pleasantries with Ray when he had told the poor man to shove her out if he still needed his job. In her rage, she was beyond impressed when she saw Mia walk into the building. Giving her a quick check, it surprised her how Mia

Chapter 48 Total piecesMia looked around uncertain if she was suppose to be out with Collins. In her rage at the scene put up by Asher and Catty in the office, she had bumped into someone at the parking lot. All she wanted to do was to go hide in her bed, cry all day and not talk to anyone. Her first thoughts had been to put a call through to Cheryl but she decided against it, knowing Cheryl she would blow it all out of proportion and make a scene. The last thing she wanted was any ruckus being caused because of her.It turned out the man she bumped into was her first ever boyfriend, the first guy to betray her and make a fool of her. He looked different from how she remembered him. She had wanted to say her pleasantries in a hurry and move away from him but he had been insistent on talking to her and amending his ways, saying he felt bad for how they had both part ways which wasn't so pleasant enough and he asked her to have lunch with him. Mia realized she was stuck and couldn't sa

Chapter 50 The Perfect DistractionBy the end of the week Mia was beyond exhausted and wanted to opt out of the project badly. Asher had made it a point of duty to make it uneasy for her to do her work. She had worked on every piece of design she could muster and none of it suited his taste. Instead he gave tons of reason why none of such design would be befitting for his master work. Mia knew he was doing it all on purpose, but she wasn't the type to give in and wouldn't let him break her.Mia was surprised Catty hadn't visit the office for a while, even though she wouldn't deny being pleased that she didn't get to see her face around. Collins didn't back off from getting in touch with her either and she had declined his invites. He must have noticed she had blocked his line, as he had called with another line which only added to her stress. He didn't know when to back off, she eventually agreed with her mom and Cheryl that he was trouble. What man is so hell bent on spending time wi
