BLURB: I crossed an ocean to hunt the very person who ruined my grandmother's company. But now I'm entangled in a web of lies, secrets, blackmail and landed in a twisted agreement with my boss. To stay in her husband's bed, be his only lover, so he doesn't make more lovers she isn't aware of. I was supposed to be the hunter but now I'm confused on who is using who.

You were almost at the bar,” I frowned, crushing my phone in my hand.Since I got information on the flash drive and its content, I needed to be sure of Wren's whereabouts and her phone wasn't going through since I reached out to her.“The other car was very fast, we couldn't outsmart it,” he explained but I wasn't hearing shit of an excuse.“Don't tell me nonsense, I trusted you to keep her safe,” I yelled, slamming my palms on the table, a pen and some documents flew up to the ground.I could've reached Oliver to do the job in hunting Wren, but he wasn't in the country, he'd gone to visit my sister in London.Noah too, isn't his job to act like a bodyguard, the reason why he's different from Oliver.“Get off my phone,” I said, if I stayed on call longer with his incompetency I'd have him fired.I was tempted to do so.“Asher,” I turned to face the one that has been acting like my wife all these years.“Speak,” I ordered her, as Ni
WREN I was seated in the park when my phone rang for a video call. Misan's smiling face greeted me, entwined in Sammy's bigSammy’s body.“Hey you,” I saluted.“How are you?” She asked.Rubbing some sun screen on her body, Sammy tried to assist her but she refused. It's obvious if I wasn't on call with her, she would've allowed him to.“Good, I'm back at the park again,” I told her, switching my camera so she could see the okay ground filled with different faces.“Why?” “Oh well, maybe because I wanted the sightseeing,” I cruised. “Actually I'm here because…” “Wren, Wren I think someone's coming behind you,” Misan's rushed tone made me go stiff, I quickly turned my back to see who was there.“You scared me,” I told Tina, who came to sit by me. No sign of her boss, nor the little girl. Sorry, I “Now you’re stalking me.”“Just testing the waters,” she sighed, a cone ice cream in her hands. “You seem to be here frequently.”My eyebrows rose, is she imputing that this is my best spot?
ASHERI drove straight to the estate all by myself, the speed I had taken was so high that if I wasn't a popular business man, I would've been taken by the police for reckless driving.“Eve!” I yelled, searching all corners.She'd said the flashdrive was my parting gift, does it mean she's signing the papers or not.“Eve!” I called again, but was greeted with silence.My hands went straight to dial Eve's name, it rang twice, thrice and then I heard a bang from upstairs.I wasn't frightened. Seeing Eve in a silky dress, made me go cold, I was fucking pissed and annoyed that she'd betray me this way.“I hadn't heard you come in,” she said sweetly, like we're in a drama. Her hands came up to me, arranging my collar, how convenient, if I'm not mistaken we have an unfinished business.“What exactly is in the flashdrive?” I ask so sternly, noticing how she almost wants to run out on me.“It's well…”“Answer me!” I shouted, this time my voice was deadly.She released my collar immediately,
ASHERI'd taken Eve to my hotel, in the conference room, where our lawyers have been waiting for us.It would hurt the media when they hear of our separation, not a while ago they were headlines of us in Carson's anniversary party.They'd captured all the intimate moments we'd faked.“Mr. Vaughn,” My lawyer in his ancient glasses rose up from his seat to greet us. “Mrs. Vaughn.”Eve's lawyer did the same, I extended my hands directing it to their seats and they sat.“Let's make this snappy,” I said, watching attentively as my lawyer, Anthony, opened his suitcase to bring out some documents.Our contract marriage clause.“Are you okay?” I whispered in Eve's ear, she nodded once, but her throat had gulped a swallow.I wonder what was wrong, she knew today would surely come. We've had our fill.“So the agreement was Mrs. Vaughn, married to Mr. Vaughn for a period of three years…” Anthony cleared his throat.Suddenly Eve stood up beside me, excusing herself, her palm covering her mouth as
WRENWe were in a restaurant Sammy invited us to, both men were dressed in suit, while Misan and I were in our flowery dress we bought two days ago.Making us act like twins.“Cheers to your reunion,” Jace raised his glass to the air, we did same clinging our glasses against his.“I'm happy yea,” Sammy smiled, and Misan gave him a kiss, that was too deep to be cut short.“It's best we ban you guys from kissing in public,” I told them jokingly, they burst into laughter.Deep down I was serious, now I feel empty and embarrassed siting with Jace.He's was staring deeply, like he wants to fuck and do bad things to me.Do I want to fuck? Yes, but it wasn't his body I want. Then why was I chasing Asher away? Well maybe because he's the bad guy, a reasonable person would stay away from.“So Misan and I had planned to go on a trip tomorrow,” Sammy announced, as he looked at us sweetly.“That's nice,” I winked at Misan, it wasn't new to me because she'd mistakenly told me.Jace exchanged glan
ASHER Nick dropped a brown envelope on my desk, it was pictures of Wren and… fucking Jace Kane.The one I warned her off. I'm so full of letting her do as she pleases, what part of staying clear from him don't she understand.One was of Jace hugging my woman, the other he pecked her cheek… I stopped looking.“Get the car ready,” I told Nick, matter of fact.“Where are we going boss?” “To Eyecatchers,” I said.***It could be a test, or not. I just needed a distraction to not think about pulling Jace's teeth.We were in the VIP section as usual, in Noah's club. I didn't want to get drunk, till I could think of what to do with Wren.Oliver and Noah were sitting with me, Noah hadn't gone to his bar to serve guests tonight, it's been a long since we gathered like this.“Do you think she'd want you to see that?” Noah asked, drinking from his scotch glass.“I don't fucking know, but she's doing a good job in rejecting my calls, and any form of contact,” I told the both of them.“I think y
