Shielding

The courthouse doors opened—

And the noise hit us instantly.

Cameras.

Voices.

Questions overlapping one another.

“Ms. Asher!”

“Over here!”

“Do you have a statement—”

Jason’s hand found mine.

Firm.

Steady.

Grounding.

He moved slightly in front of me—

Shielding.

Not controlling.

Never that.

Just…

Protecting.

We kept walking.

Until—

“Ms. Asher!”

One voice cut through the rest.

Clear.

Confident.

We both paused.

The reporter stepped forward.

Smiling.

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Sum

    Amber POV The rest of the tour passed in a blur after that. Mostly because my brain remained completely stuck on the fact that we had potentially just discovered a hidden alexandrite source. Then they showed us the castle. And suddenly nothing else mattered. The structure rose directly from the mountainside like something stolen from a fantasy novel. Tall stone towers. Massive arched windows. Ancient ivy climbing across dark walls. It was breathtaking. I actually stopped walking entirely. “Oh,” I whispered. Jason immediately noticed my expression. I turned toward him slowly, completely serious. “Oh, Jason…” My eyes widened helplessly while staring at the castle. “We are buying this.” Several people behind us laughed quietly. I ignored them completely. “I want this,” I informed him firmly. “I need this castle.” And I really did. Because standing there beneath the mountain sky, staring at ancient towers wrapped in mist and stone— It looked exactly like something ou

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   finders keepers

    Amber POVChaos erupted the second the shots rang through the mountains.Workers screamed and scattered in every direction, some dropping tools as they ran for cover while the police escorts immediately began shouting into their radios for reinforcements.The sharp echo of gunfire bounced violently against the cliffs surrounding the mines, making it impossible to tell exactly where the shooters were positioned.I hit the ground hard beside Jason behind one of the rocky inclines, my palms scraping against dirt and gravel while another shot cracked somewhere overhead.“Stay down,” Jason ordered sharply.His body shielded mine almost entirely, broad shoulders tense as he kept himself between me and the open terrain.The governor’s security detail was already moving, weapons drawn while officers rushed civilians toward the Jeeps farther behind us.Still, despite the numbers around us, I knew exactly how fragile this situation truly was.If Jason did not have the influence he carried—If p

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   A trap

    Amber POVThe planning progressed terrifyingly fast after that.Within forty-eight hours, legal teams were mobilized, investment proposals finalized, and enough paperwork exchanged between Asher Corp, Sol Management, and Phoenix Ashes to make the entire trip look like nothing more than an aggressive family expansion strategy.Which, technically, it was.Just not entirely for business reasons.By the time we boarded my grandfather’s private plane, half the Asher board was already treating Jason like some kind of mythical creature.Not openly, of course.Executives of that level knew how to maintain professionalism.But every glance lingered slightly too long.Every interaction carried quiet curiosity beneath polished corporate masks.Because while most people knew Jason Sun as the billionaire head of Sol management and one of the most influential businessmen in the country—The older executives remembered something else.Someone else.His mother.Jason sat beside me near one of the lar

    Amber POVBefore I could properly enjoy the absolute horror on the associates’ faces, the elevator doors behind us opened.And my grandfather walked out.The entire lobby straightened instantly.Executives who moments earlier had barely acknowledged me now looked one step away from cardiac arrest.My grandfather, however, seemed entirely unbothered by the tension surrounding him.The moment his eyes landed on me, his severe expression softened visibly.“Amber.”Not Ms. Asher.Not granddaughter.Amber.That alone sent another visible wave of shock through the lobby staff.He walked directly toward me, ignoring everyone else entirely before briefly squeezing my shoulder.“Come,” he said calmly. “The board is waiting.”Adrian looked deeply entertained by the chaos unfolding around us.The elevator ride to the executive floors passed in silence.Mostly because the board members inside looked terrified to breathe incorrectly near my grandfather.The moment we entered the conference room, e

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Asher corp

    Amber POVMy grandfather called me the morning after we finalized the Sum travel arrangements.Not as my grandfather.As Chairman Asher.“Come to the company tomorrow.”No greeting.No buildup.Straight to business.I leaned back against the kitchen counter while watching Jason argue with Alex over whether “tactical backpacks” were appropriate for a family trip.“I already manage Phoenix Ashes,” I reminded him carefully.“And you manage it well,” my grandfather replied immediately. “But Phoenix Ashes is still only one part of the Asher influence.”A pause.“As my granddaughter and heir, you will eventually be expected to help manage Asher Corp directly.”That made me go quiet.Because despite everything that had happened recently…Despite the investigations, the Vincents, the Beckers, the White family—There was still an empire waiting behind my grandfather’s name.And one day…It would become mine.“I’ve allowed you freedom because I knew you needed to build something of your own,” h

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Hunting

    Amber POVJason was angry.Not loud.Not explosive.Which somehow felt far worse.He paced through the fairy house command center like a man preparing for war, tension radiating from every movement while his eyes constantly flickered toward security feeds and perimeter alerts.Twice, I caught him looking over his shoulder when absolutely nothing had moved.That alone worried me more than he realized.Because Jason did not scare easily.And Gabriel Vincent’s call had affected him deeply.We informed Emory and Mr. Stait immediately after settling the children upstairs for the night.The secure video call connected within minutes.The moment Gabriel Vincent’s name left my mouth, both men went completely still.“He’s in the country?” Emory asked sharply.Mr. Stait looked equally surprised.“We had no notification of a Vincent family arrival,” he admitted grimly.Jason laughed humorlessly from beside me.“Well,” he said coldly, “now you do.”The room fell silent for a moment afterward.Emo

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Mom

    As Jason gently woke Alex, I noticed something that made my spine straighten. Ms. Patric was holding a small recording device. Not just a tablet. A separate recorder. She turned it in her hand casually, but I saw the red indicator light. Without drawing attention to myself, I reached into the

    It did not take long for Victoria to fabricate a lie, but the explosion didn’t come from the board.It came from a live broadcast.Victoria stood behind a polished podium, composed as ever. Cameras flashed. Reporters leaned forward.“I did not intend to involve myself publicly,” she began, voice s

    They called her in. No delay. No warning. The door opened ten minutes later. Amelie walked in looking immaculate — refreshed, polished, perfectly styled. Not a trace of nerves in her posture. At least not until her eyes landed on me. For a fraction of a second, the color drained from her face

    We didn’t warn them. We simply arrived. Jason walked at my side. The children stayed close, Marcus just behind us — calm, immovable, inevitable. The moment we entered the company lobby, the air shifted. Whispers followed us. Phones were lowered. Eyes widened. “Call the board,” I instructed t
