THE CHOICE OF TRUTH

Asher's povAfter I was discharged from the hospital, I was given some painkillers and other medication to take home. I discussed with Liam about changing our hotel and we agreed that it was best not to return to the hotel where Lucy already has access. So, we agreed to continue our honeymoon in another hotel in Munich, a different city from Berlin so as to be on the safe side. Liam also changed his phone number so that Lucy couldn't contact him anymore. This whole experience had been extremely stressful and scary, but I was relieved that we were taking steps to stay safe.Though Liam's father offered to provide a bodyguard, we declined the offer, as we also need our privacy. We made sure that our new hotel and Liam's new number were kept secret, only revealing the information to our closest family members. Liam told me his favorite cousin, who was unable to attend our wedding due to a business trip, would be visiting us soon. I was disinclined at first for Liam to tell her about our

CHAPTER TWELVE

Asher's pov"What I wanted to tell you is that I love you" I lied, my lips were shaking as the lie spilled from it. He looked directly into my eyes as if to search for the truth in my words.I had tried to tell him the truth but the words weren't coming. I found it hard to voice out the truth and tell him about my past because the shame was overwhelming."I just want to appreciate the love you have been showing me ever since we got married" I said softly, my voice wavering. Although my words were true but it's just a substitute of the truth I am afraid to voice out at the moment. "I knew how much you loved Lucy but you still chose to stay with me and respect our marriage vows, I'm so grateful for that" I said, my heart twisting in guilt."Are you really sure that this is what you wanted to tell me?" He asked, his tone heavy with meaning. I felt like a liar and I knew he could see it through my eyes."Yes" I said, my voice soft ."Alright babe, I love you too and I had never regretted

THE MENACE CONTINUES

Asher's povI was about to tell Liam the truth about why I had agreed to the arranged marriage when my father's Cal interrupted me."I have to pick this call, it's my dad" I said and he nodded positively. I was used to keeping my phone on speaker and since it was my dad that was calling,I saw no reason to put it on silent. I just answered the call."Hello dad" I said, my voice calm."Hello sweetheart," my father replied. "How are you and your husband?" He asked with so much concern in his voice."We are doing well sir" I answered with a smile."Dr. Xavier mentioned that you two refused to have a bodyguard," my father said, his voice tinged with concern. "Why didn't you want to take the extra security?"Although we didn't tell them about Lucy, Liam's ex, and the threats she'd made. We only told them about the men who had attacked me at the hotel, telling them we have no idea of who they are. Dr. Xavier, Liam's father, had suggested we have extra security due to the attack."Dad, we wil

LUCY'S PLIGHT

Lucy's pov"Ma'am there's someone in the sitting room asking for you," Pearl, one of the house domestic workers said as she roused me from my sleep."I've told you countless times not to try waking me up when I'm sleeping" I snapped at her.I was irritated to be pulled from my slumber, and my tone was harsher than I'd intended. But I was so exhausted, and I needed to have some rest."And who is that?" I asked."A man but I don't know him ma'am" She said. "Ok, I'm coming down right now"I said and stood up from the bed to go and check who the person was.As I walked into the sitting room, I became really annoyed. The person asking for me was the last person I wanted to see, it was Stanley, who had been pursuing me for weeks. I didn't have any interest in him, and I had made that clear to him at times without numbers. But he still keeps disturbing me. He refuses to take no for an answer.I was already exhausted, and the sight of Stanley only made my mood worse."How did you know where I

SINKING HEART

Liam's pov"Oh,because she's your first love, we shouldn't inform the police right" Asher yelled with frustration, we have been having a misunderstanding since the day Lucy left the letter on our room window. Asher was adamant that we should report the letter to the police but I was reluctant to do so."But baby, This issue is over a week now and we didn't even hear anything from her again, why do we need to report?" I said, pleading."I have been telling you to report Lucy from the start, but you refused" she said,the tension between us rose. "And now you're telling me it's over a week". Asher and I had never argued like this before. And what is causing misunderstanding is that we are unable to see each other's point of view. "It's okay, if you don't want to report it to the police, then you should call your father and tell him that we now need the bodyguard or I now need a bodyguard," Asher said again. "Liam, I'm really scared. It's my life on the line here." I knew she was right a

TORN

Liam's pov"What exactly do you want to gain from this, what Lucy?" I yelled at her over the phone. She had called me just a few minutes after I arrived at the bar to clear my head and think of the next action to take. "You are already causing problems in my new marriage, Lucy" I continued, my voice rising in volume. "You are not allowing me to enjoy my honeymoon. This is the best time for me to move closer to my wife, but you are not letting me. Please, leave me alone for the sake of the love we've once shared, please, allow me to enjoy my marriage in peace" I said, my voice cracking.There was silence at the other end of the call and it seems she was thinking about what to say next. Finally, she spoke again, her voice cracking."I want you back Liam"."I'm married now, Lucy. I have a life that can't include you anymore. You're now my ex, you are already my past and I plead with you to stay there. You can't be part of me any longer. I'm asking you, as a friend, to please just let me

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Liam's pov"It was Priscilla who texted me," I explained, when Asher asked again why I had left her in the room. "She said she wouldn't be able to visit us again." I knew I was stretching the truth, Priscilla, my cousin had texted me, but that wasn't why I had rushed out of the room. "So that was why you acted like someone who had seen a ghost" She said, raising an eyebrow. "I was even asking what's wrong but you just ran out of the room" She said again."Em…yes, I had been longing to see her. It's been a while since we saw each other. When she said she won't be able to come again I felt sad and disappointed". I said, trying to sound sincere."It's alright, I don't want this to cause any argument again" She said softly."I now understand your point of view that we shouldn't report Lucy to the police or your father" she continued, "So, I don't want to report her again" She said, her eyes met mine as she smiled. "But I still believe what you said, that she won't hurt me." She said, I n

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Lucy's pov"What?! Why would you do that?" my cousin, Lisa, exclaimed. I just told her that my main reason for coming to Germany wasn't to visit her, as I had told her. I had really come to try and get closer to Liam. "Why are you chasing after him like this? He just got married, he should be enjoying his time with his new wife, not being pursued by you!" Lisa said again."But, I really love him, I love him so much" I said, my voice breaking. "If you know what I went through when we were together, you will know that I truly love him" I said, tears already welled up in my eyes."I could remember the day his father came to my house and warned me to stay away from him. My father tried to talk to him, but he slapped my father right in front of me. I know I should have ended things then, but I just couldn't let go of my feelings for him. I was madly in love." The tears began to flow down my cheeks.My love for Liam had come at a great cost. His father, a billionaire and a powerful man, t

So finally, we are returning to our dear home in America. I felt butterflies in my stomach.I was so excited to be finally going back to America because my husband would become the new CEO of Xavier and Son company. The thought of being a wife to a man who is accomplished made me feel so proud and happy."Babe, we're going to miss our flight if we don't hurry up," Liam said as he watched me in the mirror, trying to finish up my makeup."I'm almost done," I said as I hurriedly filled in my eyebrows.As I was finishing up with my makeup, Liam bent down to help me with my shoes. I was wearing a white shirt and trousers to match his outfit. We carried our luggage and headed out of the hotel. The car we had booked was already waiting for us outs
