[Asher]

Something was wrong with me. That was definitely the only way I could explain the madness I displayed back there.

Cause why?

Why the hell did I lose my cool seeing Elena walk into the Thorne's building and not just any part of the building, but the executive floor, the one few were allowed to access, the floor where only Raphael’s closest associates—or people he personally invited—ever got to step foot.

I had come to Raphael for a collaboration on a major project. The meeting had gone smoothly than I expected, and the negotiations were efficient. But what I didn't fucking expect was to walk out and see Elena walking right into his floor?

And Thorne walking the fuck out himself to fucking welcome her?

Was that why he kept staring at his watch during our meeting?

My jaw clenched as I walked into the passenger seat allowing Tristan to drive.

The moment I strapped my seatbelt, Tristan turned toward me, his brow creasing together.

"You didn't act surprised back there, I remember as

    [Elena]I couldn’t stop staring at Noel throughout our conversation. I still can’t tell if it’s just my mind messing with me or if I’ve actually seen him somewhere before.When I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to ask."Have we met before?" I asked quietly.Cassie blinked in surprise, and the moment she realized I was directing the question at her fiancé, her brow furrowed. She looked from me to Noel.Noel—who hadn’t said much all evening—turned his attention to me, but before he could speak, I cut him off. "You just look… familiar. That’s why I’m asking. I can’t place exactly where I’ve seen your face."Something flashed across his eyes—quick, subtle—but I caught it before he hid it.A small smile tugged at his lips, and instead of responding, he lifted his glass and took a slow sip of wine.My gaze shifted to Cassie. Her lips were pressed downward, and she downed the remaining wine in her glass before setting it aside. She stared at Noel, and the expression on her face made my b

    [Elena]Everything else Asher said didn’t register. The only thing I could hear was just one word."Does it still hurt that I didn't choose you?"My head spun so hard the room felt like it tilted.I bit down on my inner cheek until the sharp sting cut through the haze and the metallic tang of blood spread across my tongue. His words replayed in my skull as I stared at the man standing in front of me.This was the same man I’d been worried sick about—wondering what Raphael might do to him. It shouldn’t have been my business. I’d been telling myself that for the past two days, repeating it like a damn mantra. But no matter how many times I tried to shut it out, it echoed. Again. And again.And this bastard dared to storm into my office, stand in front of my employees, and spew trash like he owned the place?"Have you suddenly gone dumb?" His voice snapped me back. I blinked, slowly raising my eyes to his. "What stupid lies did you tell your brother? Do you have any idea what the hell yo

    [Asher]"What the fuck are you talking about?" My hand slammed against the desk as I tried to make sense of what the hell was going on.But he said nothing. Silence.My jaw clenched, my lips pursed and just when I opened my mouth to speak, Raphael's voice cut through. "Asher Langston, you and that thing you call a wife messed with the wrong person!" And just like that the line went dead.I stood still right in the middle of my office, trying to calm the fury brewing inside me but it felt impossible.My chest heaved, my hand tightened on my phone as I tried to comprehend what the hell was going on and it suddenly clicked.The day you made my sister shed a tear.His sister, Elena? Wait a damn minute.What did Elena tell Raphael?I swallowed so hard my throat hurt. My hand trembled. I was beginning to see red.A low chuckle left my lips, and before I knew it, I was dialing back Raphael's number.Once. Twice. And up until the fifth ring, it went straight to voicemail.I picked up my car

    [Asher]A few days later..."What do you mean they’re all withdrawing?" My voice came out clipped, colder than I intended.James shifted on his feet, the hesitation in his eyes doing nothing to calm the fire building in my chest."What the hell is going on?" I demanded.Before he could respond, a knock came on my door. One of my managers stepped in, his face pale, his hand shaking around the tablet he was holding."Sir…" He swallowed hard, his voice low but urgent. "All our major shareholders are pulling out—almost at the same time. And our stock… It’s dropping fast. Like someone hit a switch."For a moment, silence. Then James and I locked eyes.He knew. I knew. This wasn’t random.Something was wrong. Terribly wrong."Sir, this—this has never happened before," the manager stammered. "Even during the scandal two years ago, the selloff wasn’t like this. This feels… orchestrated.""Something’s definitely wrong," I snapped, running a hand through my hair, the weight of it pressing down

    [Elena] Thirty minutes later, a knock came at my door. "Come in," I said softly and the door swung open. My lips pressed into a small smile as I watched Cassie look ever so beautiful making her way in. "Hey friend." Cassie purred. I rose to my feet and circled the table just as she stretched out her arms. "Welcome," I mumbled, giving her a side hug before ushering her to sit. I walked back to my seat and settled down, turning to stare at one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. "So here we are? The newest resident of Boston." I teased and Cassie waved her hand, smiling. "I moved in two days ago like I told you, and of course, I wanted to come see you as soon as possible. I already missed you." "Urgh, that's so sweet. I missed you too." Her brow furrowed for a second as she stared at me, her lips pressed together and just as I was about to ask if everything was okay, she cut me off. "Are you okay?" My brow creased. "I am, why?" She leaned a bit closer, placing her hand

  • Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman    Chapter 123 - What exactly?

    [Elena]"No, like fucking no girl! Tell me you're joking, that's what I want to hear you say right now!" Natalia snapped on the phone.My lips pursed as my eyes flicked toward the door Raphael had walked out of just a few hours ago.When I didn't say anything to Nat, her voice came again now louder. "Listen, Elena, you're my best friend, and I swear I'm trying so fucking hard not to hang this call and do what you'll hate me for. What the hell do you mean by you told him to let it go?""Nat, please, you should understand what I mean, I...""I don’t understand a damn thing. There’s a difference between you not letting them know and now that they know who the hell those bastards are!" Natalia snapped, and I clamped my mouth shut."Do you want me to remind you what those two people did to you?""Nat, don't do that. That's not what I'm talking about, you should know I want to let this all go. It's in the past!""No it's not. And even if you don't want to hear it I'm going to say it. That b
