According to his secretary AWAKE AND READY
The next time I peel open my eyes, it’s bright, too bright. And the other side of the bed is cold and empty. But I don’t worry about it, I can still feel his warm breath on the shell of my ear when he whispered,“I won’t be here when you wake up.” he broke our spell with those words, because he didn’t want me to worry, he didn’t want me to wake up feeling alone. I understood he had to leave. We had talked about everything and nothing, falling back to our old routine easily, like there was no rip missing.It’s easy to fall into Asher.It feels like I was made to fall for him, and him for me. “You’re awake.” Eva exhales, coming to the bed with a big, relieved smile.I give her one of my own. The last thing I remember of her before falling asleep was her crying over me, holding me like she was terrified she lost me.“I am. I feel very refreshed too. Like I took a really long nap.”She raises a teasing brow in my direction, then nods at the space Asher had occupied last night, I grin at
According to his secretary NOTHING ELSE BUT US
CARSON BITTERS POV The soup for some reason doesn’t come back up. Maybe because Asher is right here, or my body got tired of fighting food. Either way, I’m grateful. I can’t stop staring at Asher, making up for lost time, all the time I spent running away. I can’t even remember the reason I did all of that. I’m sure I convinced myself there was a reason, but I can’t seem to recall any single one now.He dabs the corner of my mouth, and when he catches me staring, he smiles back.“What? Why are you staring at me like that?”“You’re beautiful.” I say.His grey eyes widen with surprise, and they slowly crawl back down, beaming at me, he cocks his head to the side.“You’re gorgeous.”I roll my eyes because I know I look like a mess. My red rimmed eyes, and Robin’s pyjamas I haven’t changed out of, and I don’t remember the last time I washed my face or hair.“Carson Bitters, you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”The heat on my cheeks is not from the soup or from th
According to his secretary SOUP FOR CARSON.
ASHER HALL Seeing Carson so broken, watching his friends pick him up, knowing the kind of man he is, the kind that hated being a burden, knowing that he’d hate being like that. It broke me. Watching him look so utterly defeated and being unable to take him in my arms, to protect him from the monster in his life.I’d felt sick.But I also knew I didn’t want his efforts to go to waste.So I’d fisted my hands, blinked away the tears, forced myself to look unaffected, like my heart wasn’t thrashing about in my chest.I pretended he didn’t matter.Crawford had swung into action immediately Carson’s friends took him away. Because contrary to what he says, he’s afraid of his son. He knows Carson will be his undoing, it was only a matter of when. He amped up his security, made sure his extracurricular affairs didn’t make it back to the news.I watched him in contained rage, the way he barked orders, paced, face white. He was different from all
According to his secretary DEFEATED. DONE. EXHAUSTED
Everything passes slowly and in a blur at the same time.My mother had exchanged herself for Fiona, who threw herself at me immediately she saw me. Crawford’s men had pulled her off me, and I couldn’t have felt any less disgusted with myself if I tried. He was dragging her off to heaven knows where, where anything could happen to her. But she was screaming for me the whole time. I’ll hear her threats to my father for the rest of my life. And the way he was taken aback by her screams of murder.I wish I could say I helped her. I put her there, I’m the reason her child will grow up in a cage.The thought of that made me feel less than human. Even more than I felt before. “Your own mother didn’t want you. I told you, but you wouldn’t listen. This is what happens when you don’t follow your destiny.” he had said. He was a monster, through and through. However, there’s a vast difference between guessing that he’d be able to do something and watching him do it.The only shred of humanity
According to his secretary THE TRADE
The memories come flooding back. All the times I saw him hang by her statue, all the times I caught him lingering with an expression full of longing… all the times I ran here, I walked by, I was walking past my mother. If I had looked closer, I would have known, I could have saved her… if I lived here instead of demanding my own place. Maybe she wouldn’t have spent the last few years underground.I thought he couldn’t possibly fuck with me any more than he already did.But he’s Crawford, I should have expected something of this magnitude from him.Separating mother and child but keeping them together at the same time. Only Crawford could manage that.A terrible cry falls from my mother’s lips, snapping my attention to her. She’s awfully pale, almost translucent from the lack of sunlight. My heart constricts at the sight of her. There’s not much I remember about the woman that birthed me, not her smell, nor her smile, nothing about her screamed familiar, but I knew deep down in my bone
According to his secretary CRAWFORD'S SICKNESS
I’m full of self loathing and guilt as the address comes in. It’s the main house, where I grew up. Where all my demons are. I can’t help but notice the irony, it’ll end where it started, at least for me.Fiona suggests we tie her up, or cuff her to make it believable, but she takes one look at my expression and quickly changes her mind, I wonder what she sees, guilt, shame? The fact that I can’t call myself human after this is over?Tim drives us there, the whole time my neck is stiff, and spine is arrow straight.My friends already made celebratory plans for when all of it is over, but I know what they’ll find after. I’ve been working on it. They’ll hate me, but they’ll understand that there’s nothing for me here anymore.They’d understand.As the car inched closer to the main house, images of being jerked around by Crawford floods my mind. The time I ended up running down this driveway in nothing but boxers and a busted lip.No one was down here, no one came to save me.At the end, I
According to his secretary SHOW ME
Asher’s hands drop to my hip at my bold statement, eyes hooded, breathing heavy. “Anyone could walk in.” he murmurs, but he makes no move to remove me from his legs. His hands do a slow crawl, caressing my hips, thighs, keeping his eyes on me. “If we hurry, they won’t.” I say, mouth dropping betw
According to his secretary ON COMMAND
I don’t realize I’d fallen asleep until I feel the sun on my skin. The first thing I do is swat at the empty space where Asher should be, wanting to feel the warmth of his skin, and soak up his scent. But he’s not there.“Did I wake you?” his voice says instead from somewhere in the room. Pushing
According to his secretary SHOW ME YOU'RE MINE
Asher had set up the roof top while I was in the conversation with Robin. He sold the rooftop short. It has a breath taking view of the city from up here, the lights twinkling in the distance, blankets of white snow on the rooftops, snow flakes falling lazily…It’s all so beautiful that I let mysel
According to his secretary WARM
“Oh. Right. I hadn’t told anyone yet. I’m staying over at Asher’s place for the night.” I explain with a proud chuckle when Robin gives me a perplexed look about taking us to the address on the navigation system instead of taking me home.Robin’s expression clouds over, his eyes meeting Asher’s in
