Asher's PoVThat woman makes me a different person, even though I've seen her grow from a girl to a mature woman. She's strong but fragile in some ways. Daphne was still fast asleep when I walked into her room. It's the first time I've walked into Daphne's room like a thief. Her innocent face was like a tiny baby lost in her dreams. Daphne slept curled up with a thick fur blanket covering her body. I stepped over slowly, not wanting to wake Daphne now. Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the open curtains. I sat next to Daphe's bed and watched her. Her eyelashes were very long, and her lips were twitching. Maybe Daphne was dreaming right now. I didn't know what she was dreaming about. Was she dreaming about what happened last night?I rubbed my face, which felt hot. This strange feeling was driving me crazy. I couldn't help myself whenever I was with Daphne. Call it lust, love or madness. I couldn't imagine why I was suddenly so obsessed with her and made her mine. I couldn'
Daphne's POVAsher looked amazing. He reflected that he was an authoritative and decisive leader. Every word that came out of his mouth showed how intelligent he was.I couldn't help but smile. Being with Asher for half a day made me feel good. At least I have a new experience and can get out of the workplace, which makes me almost die of boredom. Dealing with company data and endless reports."Seriously. How did you do it?""Doing what? This is who I am." Asher said confidently. He was very handsome in this situation."You're not what I think you are. You have a lot of charisma when you're with the company's bigwigs. And ...."Somehow, seeing you like that makes my chest flutter. I whispered to myself. Asher's different aura makes me feel obsessed with him today.Asher must be the envy of many women if he goes out alone. His classy appearance, expensive car, and handsome face must make any woman want to be his lover. He must have had someone he loved, and he was hiding it. That's why
Martin's PoV"You said you love me. You have to love me!"The bitch's hoarse voice rang out again. I locked my apartment from the inside so she couldn't get in."Martin, asshole! Open the door!"Caroline exclaimed from outside, and I let her. It was best if she left on her own, and I was reluctant to go to the trouble of kicking her out because the stubborn woman wouldn't want to leave."Fucking Martin! Open the door!"Caroline kept banging on my apartment door. I let her yell, and she still didn't stop. The sound of the door being kicked in from outside could be heard. That crazy woman had completely lost her mind."I told you there's nothing between us! You better go and find another man to heat your bed, bitch!" I yelled from inside. I hoped my harsh words would make Caroline give up. The woman swore and finally left. But she would definitely come again with her shameless face. Caroline was a woman who didn't give up easily, and she would do anything to get me.To be honest, I was
Daphne’s POVToday made me very happy and content. Asher repeatedly gave me little gestures that made me feel special."Where are we going after this?" I asked Asher when we were done. I felt so full after finishing all the food on my plate. The steak was so tender that I ordered two, and Asher had forgotten about getting more protein. He also ordered a medium portion of steak without fries."How about going back to the office?"Asher seemed to be able to read the bored look on my face when he said 'office,' so he corrected it. "How about we go to the beach? The closest one is only a two-hour drive from here."Asher's offer made me consider it. I was glad to be free from all the boring routines today. After all, I do not have to work hard to earn money. If I wanted, I could ask my father for everything. But I realized that if I did that, I would be a spoiled brat who could never grow up."Good idea. But with clothes like this?" The formal appearance of the two of us made me reconsider
“We should just go home.""What? No. We promised to go to the beach, and I don't want our plans ruined just because of that asshole Martin." Asher raised his voice again. His emotions were still unstable."I'm worried about you," I said. I went back to check Asher's forehead, which was bleeding from Martin's punch. The blood had stopped coming out, but I thought he should get treatment from a doctor."You see, I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about, Daphne." Asher rubbed my cheek. I forced myself to smile.We ended up going to the beach as planned. But I insisted that today I should be driving and Asher should just sit sweetly next to me. But the whole way, he was being chatty, criticizing me that I wasn't a good driver because I was always trying to overtake the slow-moving car in front of us."I know you're doing this so you can drive, right?" I laughed as Asher folded his arms. He looked out the window and stopped criticizing me. I knew the trick."I don't want you to get tired.
I wanted to punch Caroline's innocent face. Does she think her acting is great? Her sad, sad face is not convincing at all. That bitch should be taught a lesson."So you're twisting the facts and accusing me? How dare you." I was so fed up with Caroline's attitude."Everything she says isn't true. She's a hypocrite!" Caroline sobbed even more. The gang of bullies looked at me sarcastically. They all must have believed Caroline's fake tears.I stood up. I made my position parallel to Caroline's. She looked a little scared that I dared to stand up to her. I'm pretty different from how I used to be. I let her attitude get to me. But not now. Not like the time I caught her making love to Martin, and I chose to leave."That's enough, Caroline. You make me sick. You should be thanking me because when I caught you fucking my boyfriend, I didn't humiliate you, slander you or bring this private affair to the office. Now you're doing it to beat me and prove you're the best? No wonder Martin sti
"Daphne! You called Asher to his office."I ignored the call from Asher's secretary. I chose to keep walking and not pay attention to my surroundings. I rushed to Asher's room and knocked on the door."Come in!"As soon as the command from inside sounded, I opened the door. Asher was holding a document in his hand. He told me to sit down, and I sat down awkwardly. I didn't even look at Asher's face like I usually did. I was furious this morning, and I wanted to get the hell out of this office, at least for today."There are some reports you need to complete." Asher hands me the document he's holding, and I take it."You need to fix some of the parts I marked," Asher told me. I just nodded."Is it done?" I asked impatiently. I wanted to get out of this room as soon as possible."Yes.""Excuse me." I quickly left Asher's room. Carrying the file, Asher gave me in my hand and walked fast under the condescending gaze of some people who believed I was a sugar baby. After reaching my desk, I
I thought Asher would leave after he turned around. Instead, he came back. The expression on his face seemed dissatisfied with our brief conversation. He should have realised that his attitude could have attracted suspicion from people."Why did you come back?" I refrained from raising my voice. This panic was making me a little flustered and somewhat chaotic.Asher looked calm. Like a boss who just wanted to talk about trivial work with his subordinates. He placed his left foot in front of his right foot. His shiny black shoes rubbed together. Asher stuffed his hands into his coat like he was keeping his distance.I sat down. Asher continued to stare at me as if he was assessing me. I lowered my head because I couldn't bear to look at his eyes, which seemed to shine like lasers that would damage my eyes."Daphne.""Yes?" I replied. I looked at the floor carefully. Asher cleared his throat."Look at me." He ordered gently."Why? I'm busy and want to finish my work. You'd better go."
