LOGINWREN “He denied everything.”“Yes,” I agreed.As usual. I watched the screen as Asher was escorted by the prison guard back to his cell. Liam's hands on my shoulder calmed me down, I leaned on him.His hands slowly went to my face, I closed my eyes anticipating his mouth on my lips, but after five seconds when I didn't feel his touch I opened my eyes.“Someone's here,” he whispered with a chuckle. “Laters babe.”I cleared my throat, stepping back away from Liam to the prison warden. He'd gone out to some meetings, leaving us here in his office after I'd gone to pay Asher a visit.“Sorry Miss Hastings, it's been a busy day,” he said.He was some chubby man, probably in his late sixties but he was still looking alert and energetic just like Mick Zervas.“It's no problem,” I smiled.We sat opposite each other, while Liam was beside me, his arm rolled on my waist possessively. I'd refused him traveling with me to Houston, I was so serious about not letting Asher see him.When Ethan calle
ASHER“Fuck!” I punched the wall of the prison, the bed shook, coupled with the iron bars. Murmurs, and some hisses joined in after my punch.I've spent two hoo months in this place, this shit hole. Fighting for my right, convincing them with the little knowledge I have that I was innocent.Wren was the master mind behind everything. I've been fucking her day and night yet I don't know shit about her.She's a CEO for crying out loud. A traitor, who knew her accomplice Mick Zervas. “Mr. Vaughn, you have a visitor,” a prison guard called. Yes they always call me Mr. Especially this prison guard, his eyes always face down when he sees me. He was scared of me,my smirk doesn't end because when I come out of this shit hole.He would be the only one I will spare. That's because he knows that I'm dangerous, and doesn't want to get on my bad side. In fact, if he had the power to let me out of prison, he surely would.“I'm not in the mood for anyone.”“It's urgent, you have to come with me.”
WREN“How did it go?” Mick Zervas asked me, he reached for his glass of white wine in his small bar.“Intense.”He nodded. Not a word from me, so he went further for more information. I don't blame him, he wanted to know what really happened. After all he'd been genuinely kind towards my well-being.And I've come to appreciate it.“Do you want to…”“Not now, please,” I said. Rose up from my seat to my room.It wasn't rude, I wasn't acting like a spoiled child. I just needed to think, Liam had called me when I came back from Houston, I saw a flower bouquet delivery on my door.He's so sweet, I fear for his safety. If only I'd just kept shut when Asher asked who I was dating. A bang in my room made me jump instantly tracing the sound to see my friends embracing each other.“We're hitting the club babe!” Tina screamed, excitedly.“Tonight.”***Just like they wanted, I wore a short skimpy dress above my knee. If I bend even a little, people would definitely see my white lace. Being with
WRENI sat on the private jet with Noah, we were all quiet. No one dared speak shit to me, I was occupied with my tab chatting with my new found lover.Liam. I'd told him about Asher, although he wasn't in support of it at first.No man would love seeing his woman running after another.My case is different actually, I'm only going to Houston to pay him a visit for the first time.Did I miss Asher Vaughn? Well not really. Do I love him? To the extent I hate that I haven't seen him for two months now? Those last two questions keep popping in my head. A voice cleared. With its deep, rough voice I knew it was Oliver.Yes he was back, turned out he was found in a far end corner of the road, how he survived was still a miracle.“Thank you for doing this, Wren,” Oliver grudgingly said. I kept quiet and let Catherine chip in. Her purse was on her lap, looking at her dull face it's not hard to guess she'd been crying.“I'm only doing this for myself, nobody else,” I warned them.“Of course
WRENLiam took us to a quiet restaurant far from the city, where my company is. He'd actually needed a woman in his life, since his wife passed away four years ago.Business kept him distracted. As a manager in a water company, he was mostly busy even thinking of pleasing himself, until we both met. “Cheers to our last date being single,” Liam clapped my glass of wine with his.My chuckle wasn't hard to hear. “Really? Never say never babe.” My hands brought my glass to my mouth, but I paused to watch his moisturized lower lip touch the tip of his glass, he swallowed a little.I traced invisible wine down his throat, my thighs closed in awareness. The space between my legs was already getting uncomfortable for me, not a bad thing but I wanted him to touch me at least.“Zervas has given me his blessings to marry you,” Liam confessed. His blue eyes watching my reaction.“Just like that. Hmm, he's some cunning one.” “I like him.”We dived into our meal before us, the chicken was alread
WRENWren met a new man introduced by Zervas, he automatically became her guardian. They raised Lovelink, and Zervas still controls his matchmaking company.WREN“You're awake,” Misan said for the fourteenth time.“Where I'm I?”“Australia, your guardian was good enough to bring us here for your safety.” I looked around the space, the house was big. The tall, sparkling door and big wide windows could pass to call the home a mansion. My eyes caught the dining room, the resemblance was hard to miss. My grandmother and I visited him frequently.“Take me home,”I rose up from the couch. Ignoring my weak body, warning me, producing heat and sweat. Misan ran to me, her hands wide open.“You're home, it's Australia Wren. Not Houston, nor London, this is your home town.”“My apartment, or Mark's,” I told her. Just then Tina sauntered hurriedly into the sitting room with a ceramic tray of fruits. Her face slowly formed confusion at the sight of me.“You both can leave. Thank you, I would li
ASHER Misan kept quiet, but I could see her lips were shaking too bad. Her legs tapped repeatedly on the floor, until she stumbled on a chair. I guessed she's surprised I found out their ploy too quick.“Careful, I wouldn't want to have two friends receiving medical treatment on my roof,” I told h
WREN“Fucking Christ! Is he going to become a problem in the future? What about Asher, does he know who held you hostage all this time?”If my head hadn't been aching me this bad like I have been hitting by a full house, figuratively I would've had one with Misan's unstoppable question gushing out
ASHERThe suite went cold as ice, Oliver behind me could sense the room. He retraced his step, going out of the room to meet the guards by the entrance, quietly shutting the door.I was now left alone with Misan, her face was screaming for an explanation, whereby It is I who needs it from her the
WREN My lips were packed together in Asher's mouth, as he devoured me. Seconds before now, I was feeling so empty, dried and lost without hope. Then I saw Asher with a gun, here to protect me, I knew I'm not ready to let this man go.“Hey, hey, I should take you to my car, you're hurt. I should fu
