One Hundred and Twelve

May’s POVI couldn’t believe I would come back to this house anymore, at least, not to come work. Asher and I had been working on his home office since I arrived about a couple of hours ago, and he had been the perfect gentleman since then.We were supposed to get together at his office together to iron out some of the work, but he had called and insisted I had to come to the house, because he couldn’t make it to the office.When I arrived, he had been waiting out front for me with a huge smile on his face. The cold Asher that I knew now seemed to be a distant memory, replaced with the warm one, the one that had feelings that I was now seeing nowadays.I sighed and rubbed my neck as I was bent over the files on the desk Asher and I had been sharing. “Are you all right?” I heard Asher’s voice and I snapped my head up to look at him.Slightly, I nodded, but said nothing after that.“You look like you’re in pain. Maybe your neck is killing you.” He said and I shrugged.“Do you want a mas

One Hundred and Thirteen

May’s POVI glanced at my phone as it buzzed on the dresser, half expecting another message from Asher. As I picked it up, I wasn't surprised to see his name flash on the screen, signaling another message asking me to come to his house for our meet-up.It was the third time he had done this; the first had ended in a tense conversation about our divorce, and after I had flatly refused the second invitation, I was even more hesitant now.What was his problem by the way? And why did he keep changing the venue of our meeting as if the work we were to do wasn’t important, or it was something she could play with.I looked down at my phone again to see if I should leave it unread or not, and I was still deciding that when another message appeared.“This is the butler, I'm using Mr. Campbell’s phone. He said you had to come home because he was feeling weak, but I've been trying to force him to go to the hospital, and he's refusing. He's been running a temperature since."I read it out loud, w

One Hundred and Fourteen

Asher’s POVAs I sat behind the mahogany desk that anchored my office, the last person I expected to waltz through the door was Gary. This man was just always showing up where he was not wanted.Although, my secretary had called to let me know he was coming, but still…I eyed him warily, my guard up, wondering what he was doing here again this time. “What do you want, Gary,” I said, my voice sounding bored.“I came here to talk, and it’s important,” he said, shrugging.What the hell? Was he here to talk about what he and I had agreed to do, and back out? Was he here to say he couldn’t put May on the account anymore, because if he thought for once that I wouldn’t pull him out entirely, then he had another thing going.I was not going to let him do that without a fight. He had probably thought that there was nothing I could do about him being on the account now."Relax, Asher," Gary said with that sly grin of his, casually taking a seat opposite me. "I'm not here to stir up trouble. In

One Hundred and Fifteen

May’s POVI was seated on my couch in the living room this Saturday afternoon when I got a text from Asher. Without opening the text or reading it at all, I groaned.Just what was the problem this time? I asked myself. Just one more invite to his house, and I might just blow up anger.Emily glanced at me with her eyebrows pushed up in question. “What's going on, May?” she asked me.Of course, she was going to ask me because of how I have exclaimed, but the fact that I haven't even checked the text yet, made it difficult for me to explain what made me groaned. All I asked for was a Saturday to myself, but even that seemed to be too much.Why won’t I just get a damn break, for crying out loud, one that I not only deserved, but I’m overdue for. I had been working so hard for the past week as if my life depended on it.I slumped deeper into the couch to rest my back as I stared at my phone but without making a move to see what it was about.To be honest, I was feeling frustrated, and it f

One Hundred and Sixteen

May’s POVGeez, I should pay my rent soon, but I had to send some money to my mother. She needed some for my sister’s school.Sighing, I looked at the screen of my computer where I was staring at my bank statement for that month, and I shook my head. I was spending much more than I was earning, leaving barely enough for myself.This wasn’t good at all.After I pay for my sister’s stuff, I barely have enough for grocery to last me a month, enough to tide me over until I got the salary for the next month.I shook my head again. I couldn’t continue to live like this. Gary was paying me enough actually, but as it was, I was spending almost every penny on my family, and somehow, that step father of mine thought I was just stingy with my “money”, whatever that meant.With one last look at the amount I was sending to my mother, I clicked the button to send it.“The landlord with have to wait this one out. He knows I don’t owe anyway.” I whispered to myself. I would have to withdraw the rest

One Hundred and Seventeen

May’s POVAs Asher strolled towards us, his presence seemed to command the attention of the entire space. His tailored suit exuded sophistication, and every step he took exuded confidence. It was as if he was stepping out of a model magazine, but one under Forbes.I couldn't help but let my gaze linger on him, admiring the way he carried himself with such ease and assurance. This was a nice time to show up, looking all dreamy like this, even though I wasn’t expecting him.Really, though, I was surprised to see him. It was like those movie scenes or a chapter in a book when the male lead showed up just right about when the female lead needed help. But what truly caught me off guard was the realization that this was Asher. I hadn't been expecting him to be here, standing before me right now."Oh, so you're this woman’s husband.” He asked, but it wasn’t a question. “I see. Listen man, tell your wife to pay her rent." His tone softened a little because Asher was pretty intimidating, with

One Hundred and Eighteen

Asher’s POVThe gala was in full swing, and all I could do was wait by the damn door and stare at May as she moved from one place to the other, with a smile on her face, doing her job as a host, just right.I stared at her, watching her, bidding my time, waiting to pounce like I knew I would. I needed a way in, but I haven’t seen one yet.I could see her best friend, Emily, also walking around and smiling with a champagne glass in hand. She was with that man I first saw May with and I got jealous. I had later learned that he was Emily’s cousin, not someone May had interest in.I was back to staring at May, as she walked from my client, to another, to one board member to the other, to my parents, and I could tell I was drooling. How was I so blind to let what I knew about her stepfather blindsided me into thinking she was a gold digger.Behind me, I felt someone there standing, but I didn’t say anything because I was too focused on May. “You should go to her, standing here won’t do any

One Hundred and Nineteen

Asher’s POVI was still processing our conversation when Brent approached me, his brow furrowed in confusion. "What was Gary doing here? And what did he say to you?" he asked from behind me, making me feel a déjà vu.What was it about tonight and being whispered to from behind, anyway? I glanced back at the spot where Gary had been standing moments ago, where I had just been feeling the importance of his advice, at Brent. He was looking at me with his eyes squinted and I wondered what was going through his head."Gary's the reason I organized this gala in the first place," I admitted, my voice steady despite the uncertainty I felt. "He told me it would be a way to get closer to May, to show her that I'm more than just the guy who jumped to the wrong conclusions about her." I told him, letting him see why it was important Gary was here before.Brent's eyes widened in surprise, and he shook his head, disbelief etched across his features. "I can't believe you, Asher. You're really goin

One Hundred and Twenty

May’s POVAs I mingled with the guests, I made sure to give each one of them all the attention they deserved. I was the host, just as Asher wanted me to be, so here I was, doing what I should.I mean, it was a skill I had honed over the years while I was married to Asher; the ability to listen carefully, and engage, making each person feel as if they were the most important in the room.The room itself was alive with the soft hum of conversation, filly with the elegant strains of music from the orchestra nestled in the corner of the room.I moved gracefully from one small group to another, my dress flowing behind me, the fabric catching the light in a shimmering dance.I noticed people's eyes following me, some with admiration, others with curiosity, and I met their gazes with a polite smile, a nod of acknowledgment.But there was one eyes in particular I was feeling the most, and I saw him earlier standing by the door and staring at me. I would give all I had; which wasn’t much, jus

One Hundred and Twenty One

May’s POV I blew my nose again into the tissue Emily handed to me, but I didn’t feel any better. I was standing there in the hall, just outside the operating room, waiting for anyone to come tell me what was going on, how the surgery went, but there was nothing yet. I caught my reflection in the mirror that was against the window in front of me, and I could see that I looked like shit, but I didn’t care. I had my mascara run down a line on both sides of my face, and my eyes were red from all the tears I had cried. “Are you okay?” I heard my mother’s voice behind me, but I didn’t answer her. Just how in the world would she think that I was okay? I wasn’t, but I didn’t care, so she shouldn’t as well. “Just leave me alone.” I said, mentally. I wanted to open my mouth to say that, but I couldn’t. It was as if my throat had dried up, and somehow I just couldn’t deal. I needed water, something to ease this pain in my throat, this uneasiness, but I couldn’t even go get it from the cafet
