The man who appeared in front of them happened to be Ivana's mother's brother.

His voice rang out mocking Asher. "Oh what a sweet in-law, I can see you are protective of my little niece."

Ivana looked up at the stranger that called her his niece. Her mother died when she was 10 years old. Her father just told her she had some family like her grandmother and relatives in the countryside.

She did not have a vivid memory of who the man was.

"Niece? I don't know you," she stuttered, watching the man who had a slight resemblance to her mother.

"I am not here to joke with you. Your father caused the distance between us. Have you heard from your grandmother?" He asked, as he walked around them.

"Brooklyn, why are you just looking for her now? It shows you don't care about her all these years. You even have to go as far to ambush us here," Asher stated, giving off a dangerous aura.

His hand slipped protectively around Ivana's waist.

"No, I'm not here to scare you guys, it is just my signatu

    Ivana turned to find herself face to face with a stunning blonde woman in a beautiful red dress. The woman's smile didn't reach her eyes."I'm Ava Harrington," the woman continued, her gaze sweeping critically over Ivana. "I am one of Asher's relatives.""It's nice to meet you," Ivana replied, smiling. She noticed how she smirked at her, she smelt jealousy from Ava.Ava's eyes fell on the wrapped package in Ivana's hands."What's that? A present for Gloria Jackson? You do know she has three homes filled with priceless gifts, do you know that?" She laughed lightly.Before Ivana could respond, another voice joined the conversation."Ava, darling, is this the mysterious new wife?" A middle aged woman with the same blonde hair approached, eyeing Ivana with a disapproving look."I'm Elizabeth Harrington, Ava's mother and a dear relative to the Jacksons." She replied with a smirk on her face."Pleased to meet you," Ivana said. She played along with them."Hmm, yes, is there more to your bea

    Asher opened the door to her room. He gently closed the door behind him, the soft click barely audible in the quiet space.Just then, Ivana came out from the bathroom completely naked. She had forgotten to pick up the towel from the stand, distracted by her train of thoughts earlier.She froze in shock upon seeing him standing inside her room, water droplets still cascading down her skin. "Oh my God…" she stammered.Asher was lost in thoughts, his eyes taking in her curved body. His eyes darkened, filled with desire."What are you doing here?" she demanded, jolting him back from his thoughts.Ivana immediately grabbed the silk robe hanging on the bathroom door and covered herself. Her cheeks bloomed pink with embarrassment as she clutched the robe tightly against her body.She wondered why she kept finding herself in these embarrassing situations today. First the misunderstood almost kiss at dinner, and now this."I'm sorry," Asher said, his voice deeper than usual as he cleared his

    They were so engrossed as they kissed each other, they were lost in a moment as their lips moved in perfect sync, as if they had been waiting for this moment their entire lives."Boss, the CEO in charge of the…"Asher's PA walked into the garden, his voice interrupted them.Ivana immediately pushed Asher away, adjusting her disheveled hair with her trembling fingers. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment at being caught in such a situation . She averted her gaze, as she faced down."What the hell are you looking for? Can't it wait?" Asher yelled at his PA, anger evident in his voice. His eyes, which had been soft and tender before, now squeezed in annoyance.Matt stepped back, composing himself. "I'm sorry, sir. The chairman in charge of the construction just called for an emergency meeting. He says it's urgent and can't be postponed." His PA explained the issue at hand, his voice steady despite his boss's evident anger.Ivana covered herself from the cold with Asher's jacket that h

    ***Present time***Now, fifteen years later, Ivana stood face to face with the uncle she could barely remember.“You have no inheritance with Clarkson, blame your mother for stirring up all these troubles.” Brooklyn uttered rudely.“Blame my mother? I don't even know anything about Clarkson's family or whatever inheritance you are talking about.” Where is grandmother? Is she ok?” Ivana asked, looking worried about the new discovery of her grandmother.Chelsea who stood with Rachel squeezed her hand, reassuring her everything is going to be ok.“Don't worry Ivana, I will make sure to get the information about your grandmother's whereabouts.” Asher whispered in her ears.“I will leave you two lovey dovey for now. Ivana, do not take my words lightly.” He threatened her, circling the gun in his hand.Brooklyn gave a signal to his security to move away from the park. They all fell back going into hiding.“Bye for now, little niece, Asher Jackson watch your back.” He said, giving a wicked

    “Why did you bring me outside? I hope Asher is not going to harm her.” Chelsea said, arching her eyebrows in annoyance.“I know Asher cares about her. I’m sure he won’t hurt her. They just need to sort out their misunderstanding,” Richard reassured her, his voice calm.“What’s your name, cutie pie?” Richard asked, he smirked as he leaned against the wall.Chelsea rolled her eyes, taken back by his sudden boldness. Her cheeks burned slightly.“I’m Chelsea, what about you?,” she asked, avoiding his gaze.Richard was amused by her flustered expression. “Richard is it. Do you know Chelsea suits you well. Just lovely and sweet.”Before she replied back at the cheesy comment, the store door creaked open.Asher and Ivana stepped of the store, Ivana's cheeks were red. While Asher exuded a strong, domineering aura.They behaved as though they hadn’t just been in a heated argument some minutes ago.Chelsea was relieved to see Ivana was not hurt. “Let’s go to a park to chill out guys, I feel s

    Ivana brought out the black card Asher gave her to buy whatever she wants.The staff who walked over to Raymond and Elsa was dumbfounded.Chelsea was also surprised Ivana had a black card with her. She guessed it was Asher that gave it to her. There was a smile of victory on her face.“How do you get this black card, I guess it is fake.” The staff in charge scorned Ivana.“Trying to show off?” Elsa mocked her.“Whatever just try this card, I'm the first person to take this dress. I will pay for it.” Ivana insisted, her mind set up on the dress.Raymond was astonished Asher will give Ivana an unlimited cash in a black card.“Let's see how it goes.” The staff snatched the card rudely.Ivana was wearing a simple but expensive design that was not known to people that are not into the fashion world. It was part of the clothings the Jackson's family gifted her. The lady must have thought the cloth was cheap because it looked simple.The dress Ivana picked was a limited edition. It was the

    Ivana was about to trip, but Chelsea saved her from falling down. Ivana looked at who tried to trip her down. She was surprised to see it was Asher’s ex fiance, the popular Hailey Smith. “How dare you try to trip her, and who the hell do you think you are to talk to her like that?” Chelsea retorted angrily. Just then a small crowd of people started coming around together seeing beautiful women fighting each other. “Talk about a bitch that stole my man, you don't even match up to him.” Hailey mimicked Ivana, ignoring Chelsea. “Stole your man? If you were that good, he would not have left you to get married to me.” Ivana chuckled, voicing out. Hailey’s friend scorned Ivana and her friend. “Who do you think you are to talk to Hailey like that, you are not worthy of holding her shoes.” Ivana tried as much to avoid drama. Some people that gathered began to whisper when they got to know Hailey was around. Hailey is a renowned supermodel, Asher and Hailey were rumored to be e
