ASHER Twelve fucking hours, that's how long it's been since I last saw Wren. The CCTV did nothing but went corrupted with virus, someone had instigated this.Jace has been cleared for now, as much as I want this to go quiet, I need to interrogate her friends too. Misan should be the last I see, her questions are too long not to make a careful conversation.It won't take long before Jace would come to know the reason I bashed into his home, strangling his neck.“I haven't seen her yet, we only talk on the phone that's all,” Tina had swore, and she went as far as to show me her call logs with Wren.“Is she missing? Because tell me why you will come to my house without an invitation, assuming I'm with her. You will do the same as give me a red eye, like last time?” Leandro hissed, he was looking so different from normal.“Just answer the fucking question,” I spoke calmly.“You know, you never much as look at me,” his voice was sober, wondering where my brother was going with his emotion
ASHER “When I see him, allow me to question Jace,” Oliver pleaded, as he obstructed me from entering the apartment.“You aren't the one whose girl was taken, nor are you friends with Jace. If I hadn't employed you to investigate the ambush that day, you wouldn't know Jace, now move.” After a long while of tense gaze at each other, Oliver dropped down his hands in defeat. We rode in the elevator to his house. It was a poorly constructed building. I could predict it's not gonna last until next year.The reason why I believe he's capable of doing this dirty abduction job, he needs money. I'd warned him before, if he has a hand in this again, I will do more than give him money.“Who the fuck is that?” I heard Jace's annoyed voice across the door, my nose could perceive some smoky smell.“Open up,” my friend ordered.I stood where I was, with composure, hands in my pocket. It's the least I can do, hide my hands or else it will land on Jace's face the minute he opens the door.The face he
ASHER“We should do this again some other time,” I said my farewell late, winking at Noah.He was the happiest being on earth to finally welcome his love back to the city, where she belongs with him.“Definitely.”“I'd love that Asher.”Both Noah and Kate said in unison, I'm beginning to see their future, they were a match made in heaven.Walking confidently to the penthouse, where I was expecting to be greeted by Wren, I met Nick.It's a good thing of course, that means Wren is in the suite. But I don't think my former is right, because the face of Nick was something I haven't seen before.“Mr. Vaughn,” he sounded scared, and uncomfortable.“You good?” I asked, as he followed me into the penthouse, just as I was about to remove my suit jacket he gave me shocking news.“We couldn't find Miss Wren, I insisted on following her around the hotel as you requested, but she wasn't in agreement with it,” he explained.My eyes saw red, the jacket I was about to pull off forgotten. This was the
WRENHow bold of him to bring in another woman, to the extent, I was even promising myself things I shouldn't be fantasizing with him.“I have never met a woman like you…” I heard Asher say in a happy tone. “You have this glorious charm, sweet to be with, I must say you are lovely...” My clenched fist tightened in anger, and I closed the door quietly. Just as I was about leaving the Ashguard environs, almost few steps away from the building, someone dragged me by the neck, bending my head against his chest.“Shut your mouth or I slit your throat,” the person warned.“Please, don't harm me…” I begged, a tear dropped from my eyes.Why was this happening to me for the second time? A metal object was against my neck, I was so fucking sacred of what could happen. Jesus fucking christ, I shouldn't have even left the building in the first place.“If it's money you want, I could give you, just free me,” I pleaded, hoping he'd come clean instantly.All I know most about abduction was, they
WRENAfter our meal, I was happy when someone called for Asher, I made some excuses as he was busy sorting some business deals with some of his partners, in his office.“Let me call Nick, he will go with you.”“Oh it's no stress, what harm could happen,” I kissed him sweetly, so he wouldn't object to my plea.Asher finally saw reason, he has security at every corner, I saw them when his guard drove me here. Getting to the hotel lounge, I heard my name.“Wren?” a familiar voice asked.***I turned to see Noah, he wasn't alone. He's with a striking gorgeous girl, he was holding her by the waist so closely like an owner.Huh. So much for his friend, Asher.I paused, then rolled my eyes in a friendly manner. “It's a hotel, for crying out loud, what exactly do they do in a place like this?”“Spend the night…” the lady with Noah answered, when she noticed her companion couldn't answer.I like this girl already, we could get along fine.“Really Kate, are you siding with a stranger now?” Noa
WREN “Good morning babe,” Asher greeted, crawling on the bed to place a peck on my cheek.“Hey, morning,” I kissed him back, yawning as I stretched out my hands tiredly.I rubbed my eyes with my hands, clearing my vision to see who I'd spent the night with.Asher was dressed in only jeans, he wasn't wearing any top, tempting, I looked away.“I'm happy you agreed to come with me,” He whispered, kissing my neck while his hands were tickling me and I couldn't stop laughing.“Me too.”He took me up from the bed, directing me to his dining room. Even before we left the bedroom I could perceive some sweet food from afar.“I haven't brushed Asher yet,” I quickly told him my worries.He kissed me on my lips, I raised my brows, wondering if he was making something clear, I was killing myself as I grudgingly released my mouth from his.“Give me a minute,” I pleaded. “ I will be right back.” Shouting as I ran to the bathroom, to wash up.Yeah I lied I needed a brush only, but it's a waste if I
