Asher

I left the venue at once, my mind already racing. As soon as I got into the car, I called Richard and asked him to meet me at my office. It was the weekend, so the building was quiet and empty, not a single worker in sight.

I buried myself in paperwork, trying to focus, when a knock sounded on my door.

“Come in,” I said without looking up.

Richard walked in, calm and confident as always, and dropped into the chair across from me like he owned the place. He glanced around the empty office, then at me, a faint smile on his lips.

“Not all of us are stuck in terrible marriages like yours,” he said casually. “Some of us have wives who actually want to spend the whole weekend with us.”

I won’t lie, getting older makes me wish I had what Annie and Richard share. Their relationship is beautiful. They argue, yes, but they always resolve things. No drama, no endless resentment. It’s exactly what I once imagined having with Loretta. But look at us now.

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    LIVING A LIE

    AsherI walked toward her, and she rose from her seat, offering a polite smile. “Thank you for inviting me, Mr. Prescott,” she said softly. There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice, almost like she was holding back a question.I nodded slightly, encouraging her to sit back down. She hesitated for a moment before lowering herself into the chair. “Edith, she doesn’t want to meet me yet?” she asked, her voice trembling ever so slightly, betraying the vulnerability she tried to hide.“She will join us soon,” I replied calmly. “I came here straight from work, so I didn’t want to keep you waiting.”Her smile widened instantly, lighting up her face. “I didn’t tell her about you,” I continued, watching her reaction closely, “because I wasn’t sure how she would feel. But I would like you to explain yourself to her when she arrives.”Her eyes flickered with a mixture of surprise and nervous excitement, and I could tell she was already imagining the conversation to come.Miss Jenna nodded s

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    LITTLE BIT OF PITY

    AsherI got home completely exhausted. The day had drained everything out of me. Meetings I was supposed to attend were left hanging, and my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing with missed calls and messages I didn’t have the energy to return.As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw Edith. She was on a call, pacing slowly, her voice low. The moment her eyes met mine, she froze. Without a second thought, she ended the call and slipped the phone away, so quickly it was obvious she hadn’t wanted me to hear any of it.She stood up and walked toward me, her expression already shifting into something softer, almost rehearsed.“Welcome back, babe,” she said with a small smile. “I thought you were going to come back late.”Her words caught my attention. We hadn’t talked about my schedule. I hadn’t told her when I would be home. Yet she spoke as if we had already planned it. I dropped my keys on the table, my body heavy with fatigue, and looked at her. Something about the way she had ended t

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    WIFE'S MOTHER

    Asher“What’s going on here?” I asked, my eyes flicking back and forth between Grandma and Miss Jenna. My voice carried more tension than I intended. Something about the way they were sitting, stiff and uneasy, told me this wasn’t going to be a simple explanation.Grandma cleared her throat, her fingers nervously fidgeting in her lap. She avoided my gaze for a moment before finally speaking. “She, she is your wife’s mother,” she said, her voice low, almost a whisper.My heart skipped a beat, Miss Jenna hadn’t been lying all along. But even knowing that, I still didn’t understand what was happening. Why was she here now? Why had Grandma never mentioned her before? A storm of questions whirled in my mind, making it hard to think clearly.Miss Jenna shifted in her seat, crossing her arms and giving a small, uncomfortable sigh. “I have been trying to reach my daughter,” she said, her voice calm but tense. “I had no idea she was married to you, that is, until I read about it on a gossip bl

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    MRS JENNA

    AsherI was sitting in the dining room, quietly having breakfast, when Grandma walked in. She had come to visit a few days ago, and seeing her always brought a strange comfort. She leaned down and kissed my cheek before sliding into the chair beside me.“You look like you haven’t been sleeping enough,” she said gently, her eyes full of concern. “I have told you before, as much as you work, you need to rest just as much. You can’t keep going like this.”I smiled softly at her, shaking my head. “I do rest, Grandma. Honestly, I should be giving you that advice. Just because you are strong doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take care of yourself. Stop stressing so much and start resting properly.”She scoffed lightly, a playful edge to her words. “I might get sick if I rest too much,” she said, pausing for a moment before continuing. “But you, you weren’t home last night. Your wife said you barely sleep at home.” Her tone was gentle, but I could feel the worry behind her words.Instead of answeri

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    KIDNEY FAILURE

    LorettaIt had already been a whole month since we moved to this new place, and honestly, things weren’t going well at all. The kids really hated it here, and they made no effort to hide their feelings. Every day when they came home from school, they were full of complaints. They said the other children in their classes weren’t friendly, that they felt out of place, and that they didn’t like the school at all. Their unhappiness made the whole house feel heavy and tense.Even we, the adults, were struggling to adjust. Finding a job turned out to be much harder than we expected. We had been searching for weeks, going from one place to another, submitting applications, attending interviews, and hoping for good news but nothing seemed to work. Days turned into weeks, and we still hadn’t managed to secure any kind of work. It was exhausting and disheartening. Living off the money we got from selling our previous house wasn’t exactly easy either. Every day felt like a constant reminder that
