Cheryl POV
Ever since Cecilia threatened me with the pictures of me and Alpha , she has been acting rudely towards me , showing me she's the boss (referring to Cecilia)
She has stopped the maids from doing my bidding or orders, she has also stop calling me for breakfast and threaten me that if I refuse to come or come late everyone would see the pictures
She has been a pain in my ass and I don't know how to get rid of her
The only person that can help me out , has been out of sight since the kiss
I sigh as I make way to the dinning hall
Asher has been studying the files day and night that I feel guilty , if I didn't defend him , he won't be putting himself into days of studying like this and when he don't get the contract.... It's gonna really hurt him
As usual Asher was already in his seat before I arrive , I sat close to him , shortly Master Williams joined us
"Master , my son Greg is having his birthday party soon " one of his wives or mistress said
Sometimes I wonder how many wives, mistresses, daughters, sons,daughter in laws ,son in laws.....
Does Master Williams has
"I want to hold a grand celebration" she said
Master William nodded
I look around and notice Alpha wasn't here , I thought everyone must attend breakfast in the dinner hall
I am very curious but I stop myself from saying anything
Because the last time I did that I was indebt with a billion dollars which I haven't gotten the money to pay complete
But curiosity got the best of me , as others were taking permission
I blurted out "Master William , shouldn't every member of the family be present for breakfast?" I ask him
He raise a brow "yes"
"I don't see Alpha"
He chuckle "oh that boy , don't mind him , he doesn't like eating with us because we talk about stuffs before we eat" Master William smiled
I blink , this is the first time seeing Master William smile or act happy and cheerful
"He's just like his mom , my wife , he never follows rules" he said 'My wife' as though it's the only wife he has
Master William sigh "if only she was here now "
"Why isn't she here?" I ask
"She's dead" he said sadly"she is and always will be the love of my life,before she left , she gave me the most wonderful gift my son Alpha...."
Master William continued talking about Alpha's mom and how much he loved her
I notice the hateful stares from everyone
I didn't blame them because no one could could eat until he stop talking and eat
The more he talked about it , the more I regretted asking
"Oh my! You must really love her very much that you didn't even notice the time you are taking to talk about her" I said to make him stop talking and it worked
He just chuckle shyly and started eating
I sigh in relief as we all began to eat
Immediately Master William left, Asher left too
I wonder if he is avoiding going and leaving the dinner hall with me?
As I walked out of the dinner hall, I was stopped by a group of girls
"So this is the bitch that has refuse to pay respect to me" a Lady glared at me
"Useless bitch" they insulted me
I stare at them
Ah! I remember who these ladies are , they are all daughter in laws of the family
"And why should I pay respect to you?" I scoff
"She is the first daughter in law of this family" a lady praise her
I roll my eyes "do I look like I care" I tried pushing my way pass them but they held me
The lady that said I should pay respect to her, walked to me "you will soon care and next time you will surely remember to pay respect to me!"
The ladies dragged me to a corner and started hitting me , I tried to fight back but they were too many
"Stop that" I heard a manly voice ordered
They all gasp and quickly scatter apologising
I groan in pain , he helped me up
"I'm so sorry"
I look at him"Alpha,you came at the right time"
I felt pain all over me ,I couldn't help but to be disgusted at them for dealing with me , there are other ways to deal with someone than physically abusing them and I bet most of them are mothers
I scoff
"You need to go to the hospital, you need treatment ... Those evil ladies how could they do this to you , I'm gonna deal with them" Alpha said angrily
"Don't!, I'll deal with them myself , you deal with Cecilia"I said
" Cecilia? "
"She took photos of us kissing and is threatening me with it" I said
"Well consider her fired"
"No , not fired , just take the evidence from her and make sure no one finds out , then I'll deal with her from there"
"You don't want anyone to find out?"he ask
" yes"
"That means you don't want anything between us?" He ask
I stared at him speechless
How should I answer?
I knew I wanted us to have something but I just feel guilty
"Or do you love Asher??"
"Of course not"
"Then why are you reluctant to go out with me?"
There is no way I'll love that idiot, not in this lifetime
I scoff " I wonder why i will be reluctant to go out with my brother in law , while I'm still married to his step brother, while staying under the roof of their father" I said sarcastically
He smiled "that wouldn't be an issue , all I have to do is ......."
"Wait, how could you even think I love Asher,do I look like someone who have a thing for idiots or stupid people , or do I look like an idiot!" I cut him off flaring up
I can never love Asher , NEVER!
I'll make sure of that!
Cheryl's POV The priest began their vows(Mia and George),my eyes trail to Drake and Leo who were by my side,Leo was still acting cold to me ,he thinks I didn't love him enough because I left him with Asher,I couldn't tell anyone the reason I left because it will only cause more pain and hurt to them ,so I just kept ignoring that particular topic.As for Asher ,who was looking quite handsome while sitting down by my other side,he insisted I start staying with Leo and him ,even after I told him about my boutique,he said I should call my manager ,that I won't be coming for a long time.Well that's what he thinks,but I know ,soon I'll go back ,at least to check on my business.Drake on the other hand ,was very happy with the realization,he couldn't even wait for a day before calling Asher 'Dad' ,while I was still trying to strike a conversation with the grumpy Leo,Leo has started talking to Drake ,after much disturbance he caused him."You may kiss the bride!"
