Asher Prescott

I sat in the boardroom and watched everyone leave one after the other after a three-hour meeting. I have another meeting with the heads of departments in an hour, but instead of returning to my office and coming back later, I decided to stay behind.

Staying in the same office with Loretta is getting more uneasy by the day. I can’t stop stealing glances at her or fighting the urge to grab her and kiss the hell out of her. It’s getting worse, I have become so obsessed that I sometimes take pictures of her without her noticing, just so I can look at them later when she crosses my mind at home.

The only reason I am not letting her go back to her office is that I do not want any guest or colleague flirting with her. I want her where I can see her, always. I hardly get jobs out of the office these days.

Ever since I found out she’s the same woman from the club, the one I couldn’t get out of my head, it confirmed what I have been too scared to admit all this time. I might ha

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    HEARTBREAK

    Loretta By the time I got home, the tears I had been fighting finally won, the keys trembling so hard in my hands I could barely find the lock. When I could finally open the door, I couldn't see clearly anymore.The door shut behind me, I pressed my back against it and slid down until the floor caught me. Then everything broke , I sobbed uncontrollably, pain torn through my chest, I never knew heartbreak was this painful. It feels like my heart is being squeezed out of my chest. The creak of a door pulled me out of the spiral. Tonia came out of her bedroom, She appeared in the doorway, her face creased with confusion and concern.“Jesus, Loretta what happened to you?” Are you okay? Did something happen? I looked up at her, tears streaking my face, voice no more than a broken whisper.“It’s over, Tonia. It’s all over.”She rushed to me, dropping to the floor without hesitation, wrapping me in her arms.“Hey, hey, talk to me. What did Asher do?”. Between ragged breaths, I told her

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    WORTHLESS FOOTBALL

    LorettaFor a moment, everything felt unreal, I could hardly breathe. My eyes burned with tears, and my hands trembled as I pulled them free from Asher’s grasp.“You lied to me,” I said, my voice breaking. “You never mentioned, not once that you were married.” Hot and uncontrollable tears streamed down my cheeks.Asher reached for me again, but I jerked away. Married, the word rang in my head like a curse. All this time, days spent under his roof, nights in his arms and not a single trace of her anywhere. No pictures, no clue, nothing. “Babe, listen to me, I was going to tell you,” he said, stepping closer.“When?” I snapped, my voice sharp and trembling. “When were you going to tell me, Asher? No wonder you have been so secretive about your family.”“I will tell you everything,” he pleaded. “Just please listen to me.”“I can’t do this,” I whispered, taking a step back. “Not right now.”“Babe, wait—”But I didn’t, I turned and walked out of the kitchen, ignoring his voice echoing

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    REVELATIONS

    LorettaHis ex fiancée stood there, glaring at us like she had just caught us committing a crime. My entire body went cold, Sarah.She walked farther into the kitchen, I quickly pushed Asher off me, adjusting his shirt that I was wearing, my heart still pounding from the way his hands had been on me seconds ago.“You don’t have to stop on my account,” she said, her voice dripping with venom. “Please, continue. I am enjoying the show.”“Sarah, what the hell are you doing here? I thought I warned you,” Asher snapped, his tone turned cold.She ignored him completely. Her eyes stayed on me, cold and assessing. “I never imagined you would be this desperate for pussy, Asher,” she said with a smirk. “Sleeping with your employee? Really?”I swallowed hard, forcing myself to keep calm. Her problem wasn’t with me, and I refused to give her the satisfaction of seeing me break. “I will be upstairs,” I said quietly, turning to leave.But before I could take two steps, Sarah moved in front of me,

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    ASHER’S COOKING

    Loretta“Babe, this tastes really nice,” I exclaimed, savoring the chicken sauce Asher made. I never imagined him as someone who loved to cook, yet every time I visit, he surprises me with his delicacies.“Of course,” he said with that familiar smug grin, “it’s Asher Prescott cooking. Expect nothing less.”It’s been over a month since Asher and I made things official, and we’ve been practically inseparable. I spend most weekends, and even a few weekdays here with him. He often keeps us working late on purpose, just so he has an excuse for me to stay the night.Our relationship has been blossoming. Honestly, Asher feels like the best thing that’s ever happened to me. He loves me deeply and somehow manages to spoil me more each day.“You don’t have to brag,” I teased, setting the food on the counter. We both sat down and started eating.“I will be going home this evening,” I said between bites. “I need to do my laundry.”“Or,” he countered smoothly, “you could bring the clothes here and

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    EXPLAIN AGGRESSIVELY

    LorettaAsher and I talked the entire way home, light teasing, shared laughter. He is dropping me off at my place after taking me out for dinner. After everything that had happened earlier in his office, we argued, then somehow ended up apologising to each other. I told him to stop trying to pry into my personal life, that whatever he wanted to know, he could just ask me. I did, however, avoid the debt conversation, mostly because I still didn’t have an answer for it.If we hadn’t been in the office earlier, I probably would have found out what makeup sex feels like. Still, our make-out session was insane. Asher assured me that one day soon, we will make good on that office fantasy.Thank God his office is soundproof, because I’m definitely a screamer.He reached for my hand, brushing his thumb across my knuckles.“You know,” he said quietly, “I’m going to miss you tonight.”I smiled faintly, turning to the window. “You will survive, Mr Prescott.”“I’m not so sure, Miss Astor.” His to
