It didn’t take too long for Asher to hate his life in prison.

Hell, he learnt to hate it even before he got there. It was hell for him. He used to be a man with means, a man who had enough money to do whatever he wanted, but now he had been reduced to nothing more than a common criminal who had to share the same disgusting toilet with hundreds of thousands of inmates.

He hated it so much.

But if there was one thing Asher hated more than his life in prison, it was hi

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Epilogue

    SOMETIMES IN THE FUTURE…“Do you think she’s going to like me?” Nicole asked.Her legs were propped on the table, and she was supposed to be watching a movie with William. But her attention was not on it at all. Instead, she turned to face her husband with a very solemn expression.William sighed as he paused the movie before turning to face her back.“That’s exactly what is going to happen, love. She is our daughter. Of course she is going to like you. More than like, even. She will love you and adore you so much.”Nicole pouted. “Okay, but let us just consider that she does not. What are we going to do then?” she pushed.William took her hands in his.“Why do you think she won’t?” he asked in response.“Because I'm fat.”The response was so funny and unexpected that William had to suppress his laughter. He was aware of the fact that she thought she was fat, and even though he had told her several time

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    The Proposal

    William, who had been so bored that he did not even bother to contribute to the conversation, nudged Nicole’s shoulders softly as they walked past the prison looming gates.“Did you really have to tease him like that though?” he asked. Nicole giggled as she nodded.She had been worried that maybe she would not be as satisfied as she expected to be at the sight of Asher behind prison bars, but she should not have been worried at all.The thrill that ran down her spine was more than satisfying. It filled her with such rush that she basked in it, giggling again as she got into the car.William shook his head, amused but deciding to let her have her moment.Asher had been a horrible jerk and bastard to her. It was only right for her to enjoy seeing how he eventually ended up after everything. He understood Nicole's need to establish that despite how she and Asher started out, their lives were now so different that no one could ever have imagi

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    What could have been

    It didn’t take too long for Asher to hate his life in prison.Hell, he learnt to hate it even before he got there. It was hell for him. He used to be a man with means, a man who had enough money to do whatever he wanted, but now he had been reduced to nothing more than a common criminal who had to share the same disgusting toilet with hundreds of thousands of inmates.He hated it so much.But if there was one thing Asher hated more than his life in prison, it was himself. He hated how far he had fallen. He hated that he was now reduced to nothing more than the scum of the universe.How did things get this bad?When was the exact moment his life started to deteriorate? Was it when he first met Trisha? It had to be then, right? Because the only reason why Zara was dead and he was in prison was because he wanted to marry Trisha.And he only came across Trisha because he wanted her to help him get Nicole back.So did that me

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Trial and punishment

    The murder of Zara remained the main headline for weeks. Everyone continued to talk about it, and the articles were unending. Asher had no sympathizer. A lot of people called for him to be punished rightly, and his criticism only grew when someone leaked to the press that his Father was trying to buy the judge and make the court acquit Asher without punishment.All this news made headlines day after day and it was all anyone could think about. In the midst of all the turmoil though, and despite the fight that his father's lawyers were putting up in order to prevent Asher from getting the death sentence, or even going to jail at all, Asher could only think about one thing. It had been about three weeks now, and Trisha had not come to see him. She hadn't made a single attempt to even pay him a visit, and the thought of it made Asher's heart clench in pain. Was it that she was afraid of being associated with him? That once peop

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    The Nightmare

    Asher felt as though he was in a dream.A nightmare, to be precise.He had no words to explain what happened. All he wanted was for Zara to just agree to sign the damn divorce papers. All he did was to explain to her that he had fallen in love with another woman, and that he wanted to go after and be with the woman he loved without having to deal with being a married man.Why did she have to make everything hard? If she had not started the entire threat scenario about ruining his company and burying everything with her, he would not have had to walk back to grab her shoulders. Ashre regretted the fact that he didn’t walk away. He regretted that he had allowed her to bait him successfully, that he had allowed her to get under his skin. Now she was dead and they were calling him a murderer. “I didn’t kill her. I am not a cold blooded killer. I have told you guys this thing over and over again. Why is anyone not listening?” he snapped at the officer asking him questions. The officer

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    The murderer

    Nicole was bored. She was done with her work quota for the day, and she wanted nothing more than to go home and curl up on her bed. A cup of tea and her favourite Netflix show would be the highlight of her evening, and she was looking forward to it. But William still had a little bit of work to do, so she was waiting for him. Too restless to stand not doing anything, Nicole decided to find something that would take away her boredom by checking online for recent information and news.Maybe there would be something interesting enough to catch her attention. But the moment she unlocked her phone, the first notification she saw made her freeze in her seat. It was an article from one of the biggest online news platforms she was subscribed to, and her heart raced in her chest as she read the article headline.“Infamous CEO Asher Strong arrested for murder.”What the hell?It had to be a joke, right? It made no sense for Ash

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Waited

    Nicole waited from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the bridal shop. Her stomach churned, but she chose to wait. Her fiancé, Asher Strong, had promised to meet her there that morning. She had just returned from a business summit and headed straight to the bridal shop.She had called him several times and sent

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Her Compensation

    He isn't going to waste his time going through it. She can't do without him and earlier than he expected, she sent a letter to apologise to him. She has nowhere else to go. He held her lifeline and her mother's hospital bills were going to be handled by him. She dares to frown at his decision

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    An offer

    When Nicole arrived home, her mother was so excited to see her. The two women hugged each other and her mother said “I expected you to be back yesterday, I was going to call Asher if he heard from you when you arrived” her mother complained, taking her suitcase away from her. “I'm home now. I

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    A simpleton

    “What was that for? What you saw was nothing. Zara needed my help and I offered to drive her to the company…” he blurted, his cold gaze on her as if she's committed an offence. “I don't know what you're talking about and I didn't see anything either” Nicole snapped back at him. She tried to
