Taming Asher

Dark Romance Survival Game Mystery Bully Badboy Hidden Identity Revenge Secret Love Love-Triangle

On a scale of one to ten, my life had always dangled between three and four, thanks to my very wretched humble background, until the day it hit zero. "I will give you the money on the condition that you send that text to Asher." Mia Harper began with a mischievous smile on her face. "Asher?" I repeated. "You heard me right." No way. Asher Thorne was the hottest, attractive and most popular kid in school. Bad boy, star hockey player, arrogant and snobbish, were the perfect words to describe him with. He hardly ever smiled and didn't talk to just 'anybody'. I stared down at the ridiculous message typed on my phone screen... And that was how it all started for the scholarship student, Grace Williams, the cool genius who preferred to stay invisible and out of trouble. But not for long. Thanks to Mia, she gets tangled with Asher and fresh troubles that came with their forbidden alliance. Determined to tame the bad boy, she steps into a world of secrets, rivalry, and dangerous attraction. Will she survive it? And more importantly… will she dare to step into the love zone?

Chapter: Chapter 85 - Cocky and Annoying

Regan eyed me suspiciously. "Are you daring me?”As much as she was trying to play the hard man, I knew she was surprised I didn't give a hoot."Perhaps, she believes she has a lot of backup now.” Lisa said with spite.Oh yeah? Is that what it looked like?"You know what? I'll give you one last opportunity.” Regan said, letting down her phone. “Come to our house after school." “Why?" I demanded with scorn. I don't see how it had anything to do with the video."I'm not calling you over to stay. I've got a job offer for you. The pay is amazing.” She said. "It's my mum offering it anyway, not me. So don't disappoint her. She made a good referral for you already." She turned around to go.“Tell her I'm not interested, okay?" I wasn't sure if Regan heard me, but I didn't care. The team had practice after school, and Asher pleaded with me and Ralph to wait.Ordinarily, I would have left for his grandma's store or Suzella's house, but Suzella said she was going out of town with Corn for so

Chapter: Chapter 84 - A Challenge

“We meet again today, Mrs. Thorne." Mr. Rockwell, Xena’s dad, greeted with a plastered smile. Mrs. Thorne responded very sweetly. “Oh, it's so good to see you here. I also came to have dinner with the kids." “Ah…I see.” His gaze rested on me.Xena’s brother was cute, no doubt. Was he a model or an actor? He had the perfect build of one. I think he looked familiar. I felt very uncomfortable with the way he stared at me. I would rather prefer his sister's blazing eyes.“Aren't these the scholarship students in their sophomore?” Mr. Rockwell asked with a hint of scorn."Yeah, they are Asher's friends. They're also the top of their class too. Very nice girls.” Mrs. Thorne said smoothly."Hi, I'm Danny.” Xena’s brother stretched his hand to me for a handshake to my surprise. "And you are?”"I… I'm confused.” I said without taking his hand."Why?” He asked. Lord his bass voice was what every girl will die for.I shook my head in hesitation and finally took his hand not to keep it hanging.

Chapter: Chapter 83 - Mrs. Kindness

"Here's the thing.” I heaved tiredly. "I'll go with them and pick up my bags myself, so I can properly thank their parents for their help so far." I explained.I think Suzella was glad at my response, and I was happy she understood.I refused to enter Asher’s car in the school, and walked out with Suzella instead. I told him to face his practice with the others, and come pick me up at his grandma's store later. I wanted to say hi to her. Besides, Suzella had some little errands to run for her.Mrs. Kent was very happy to see us. We had arrived just in time. There was a heavy surge of customers, and Marie was absent again. “Don't you think you should employ more workers?" Suzella asked her sharply after the mass of customers had toned down. Marie was back by then, and Mrs. Kent offered us cup noodles as we sat at a table, discussing.“I need just two workers. I have Marie already, so I will need just one more person." She said.I didn't feel very comfortable because her gaze lingered

Chapter: Chapter 82 - Where Will You Go?

"Having fun with my girlfriend?” He demanded stiffly.Terry and Matt who were behind him erupted in loud cheers, clapping. I was irritated when Suzella joined too.Ralph laughed, patting Asher gently on the chest. "Hey, today's my first day, bro. Let's not do this.”“Exactly. Let's not do this." I turned around abruptly and hurried off way ahead of them. I wasn't going to stand with them to my embarrassment. Unfortunately, I walked into Xena and her subordinates, Eva and Jamie.Xena gave me a hard condescending stare, and they blocked my way as I tried to walk past."You dared come back, huh? Aren't you scared of dying?”I took out my phone and put it on record. "You care to repeat what you said?”Xena snatched the phone before I could blink, and smashed it hard on the floor.Now I would have to get a new one after school.“Why don't you pick a fight with me instead, and leave her out of this?" Asher toned behind me. My heart raced. We'd just barely resumed. I turned around and push

Chapter: Chapter 81 - A New Clique

Thick awkward silence hung between us as he drove out. I knew he was very mad over what his aunt said, and I guess it was my fault for bringing Xena up in the first place. But then, it was his fault too. He was going to sound like he didn't have any clique, and I was just trying to point that out."You're quiet.” He said as we drove out of the estate.“I'm sorry I brought up Xena." He smiled wryly. “We only did it once. And that was because I was drugged. I never did it again with her. She disgusts me." “I understand." I murmured. “Well, you'll be dropping me off at Suzella's.” It wasn't worth dampening the mood with this Xena talk."This morning? Why? Your bags are still at our place, you know.”"Yeah, I know. Perhaps, you could help me with it tomorrow, huh? I just want us to go to school together. I need some heads up at least on the latest updates.”"Fine, if you insist." I gave him some little directions and he dropped me off.Suzella was still rushing her breakfast when I arr

Chapter: Chapter 80 - A Scary Kindness

She was seated on the swivel chair, next to the study table, waiting for me. “You slept longer than I imagined. I guess you had lot of sleepless nights back in Red Wing." She began.I cleared my throat. “Yeah."“I met Asher on his way here earlier. He said he was going to lend you his laptop, but I told him not to bother. I got a new spare. I thought you should have it.” She patted the new laptop on the table.My eyes grew wide with surprise. Why was she doing this? Was it really okay to accept a gift from her? Does she really like me now?"Wow, thank you. I'm grateful for the offer, but you don't have to bother. I intend to get a new one before the end of this week." “I didn't have to bother to get this. All I had do was bring it out from where it laid in my cabinet, gathering dust. It's brand new. The boys have two laptops each. I've got mine too, and their dad as well. So, I don't have need for this one. Just accept it okay? It's nothing.”It's nothing? From what I could see from

I rolled my eyes. "Listen, Mich. Just hand over my documents and tell me I'm not qualified. I'd totally understand and gladly find my way." “MIS-TER MICH." I rolled my eyes again. Whatever. "I want to hear you say it. Mister Mich.” I scoffed. “Is that on the job description?” He dropped my papers with a knowing nod and fixed a long hard stare on me. I held his gaze too. “Congratulations, Bonita Helmes. You got the job." He suddenly muttered dryly. Bonnie Helmes, desperately in need of a job, gets the role of a personal assistant to the CEO of La Monte Luxuries, Michael Monte, who happens to be her high school bully.

Chapter: Chapter 76 - Dinner with Connie

Mich's POV “I'm sorry, I just think she must be familiar. That's why I'm asking." I had to explain.“No, no problem at all. I think she's Bonita Holmes. Or Helms. I'm not sure what Simon told me." She looked beyond me to a staff at the entrance. “I'm sorry, give me a moment." She got distracted then and left me with my racing thoughts. Is this where Kieran decided to get involved? Is this what he meant? How dare Bonnie agree to this and try to fool me?Oh. I got the point. She has regretted resigning and is trying to find a way to warm up to me again, huh? To think of how she calmly denied her name when Simon addressed her as Bonnie is even more annoying.I glared at her for a while as she chattered with the guy until our gaze met. Edna was back, but yelling at a staff this time. So I seized the opportunity abd walked up to Bonnie."Bonnie? Bonita Helmes?" I needed to be sure.She remained expressionless.“Nice to meet you again, Mr. Michael Monte." She said with a stiff smile.“You

Chapter: Chapter 75 - Bonnie or Cunning?

Mich's POV My phone buzzed. It was a text from Edna, the manager at Orange Park. I stared at it with furrowed brows. Edna 2:05pm - Are you on your way already? We're about to kick off. Wasn't I told they wouldn't start till three? Oh…shit. I ought to be there before then. Yeah. Crystalike - In thirty minutes. I looked up at Ruki, whose eyes were glued on me like I was an appetizing meal. "Can we talk about this later? I've got somewhere to be now.” I also needed to address the dirty stunt she and Antonio pulled yesterday. I was the one who ran things here, not them. All they had to do was follow my lead and give me back reports. How the hell could they have failed to inform me that an important client was coming over? I rose up and left the office for Sammy's room. He met me there a few moments later and tidied me up. “Aren’t you coming with me?” I asked him. He shook his head. “I would have loved to, but I've got a lot of pending tasks at hand.” I sighed. If only I wo
