Asher's Pov

Caden's gaze remained on the stranger who'd just walked in.

The man looks a bit younger than me, if not older. He had this classical, golden boy handsomeness that made me want to puke, all slick ginger hair and tanned skin, the exact opposite of Caden.

“Who the hell is that?” I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.

“That’s Gus.” Caden replied, his voice trembling.

I turned to meet his gaze and the expression on his face wasn't of admiration or excitement. If anything, it was dreadful.

My fists tightened on their own. Just what the hell did this bastard do to my Caden?!

“Is that how you welcome your cousin, Caden?” Gus clicks his tongue in annoyance.

Wait. That's his cousin?

Suddenly, my own words echoed back in my head and I uncurled my fists.

“We have to create an enemy who'd take the fall for my crime. Someone everyone knows clearly hates Caden.”

“Caden's cousin. I hear he's back in the country.”

Caden walked briskly to where Gus stood and wrapped his arms aroun

    Caden's PovIf fate had a physical form, I would slap her so hard she would bleed. Because why the hell did she bring Asher into my life if he was going to fuck it up? Why did she make me attracted to that motherfucker? Why did she even let grandpa die? If he were alive, I'd tell him I hate Asher and he'd replace him with someone else.God, this is the worst.I dragged my hand through my hair and tried not to sigh as my General Manager made a slide presentation. The charts were not looking good. Even Nessa's company topped us in the ranks. If we don't up our game anytime soon, the company'll plummet. Hard.Once the presentation was over, it was my turn to run the show. Gatsby passed me the briefcase and I placed it on the conference table. I drummed my fingers on the smooth surface and began. “Everyone hates us.”The shareholders and reporters in the room shared confused looks before focusing on me. “Do you know why everyone hates us?” I asked. When no one answered, I patted the br

    Asher's PovI didn't realize I was peeling the leather off the armchair when Frisbee gave me a pat on the shoulder. “Hey, you good?” He asked, pointing at the damage I'd done in the leather swivel chair.I blinked and for a second, didn't know what I was doing here. I dragged my gaze to the monitor and it hit me like a wave. That's right. I was watching Caden before my thoughts took over my head.“Yup. Never been better.” I patted the armrest I'd peeled back and sighed. “That little rascal had come in here and turned the place upside down.”By rascal I meant Bella.Frisbee threw his head back and laughed. “That's one way to put it. She's just a harmless creature.”“Until she scratches your computer.” I said.Frisbee's face went ten times paler and he rushed out of the Control Room. “Shit! Giovanna, you better not bring that feline in here!” I chuckled softly before I turned my gaze back to the monitor. Caden sat cross-legged on his favourite sofa in the living room. His blonde hair

    Caden's PovI gulped the ball in my drying throat.Why the heck does Asher have the ability to ground me? For a second, I almost spilled everything Gus told me.I dragged my hand through my hair as Bella purred on my lap, Gus’s words replaying in my head. “It hasn't been 5 years and the company's already crumbling.” He'd chuckle.“No, it's not,” I fisted my hands at my sides. “And what the fuck are you doing here?”“Is it now a crime to visit my cousin and his husband?” He laughed. “I can't believe grandpa wrote that stuff in his will. It's hilarious.” “Fuck off!”“No, I won't,” he strode towards me and grabbed my jaw. “You're nothing but a little shit who was given a company too big to handle.”“Booker Legacy Group will thrive under me!” I gritted my teeth.“Revive it first. I heard Eagle's Eye is losing ground and no one is purchasing the gadget.” He mused.“I'll find a way around it. I always do.”“Doubtful.”“Is that what you think?” “Why the heck not?” Gus shrugged. “A murdere

    Caden's PovEven till the next morning, Asher will never let Belladonna touch him. Yeah, I named the little cat, Belladonna — dark and ethereally beautiful but deadly as fuck.The moment Giovanna brought her into the living room, she jumped from her arms and scurried towards the sofa.Asher, who'd been sitting on the couch nearby, jumped from his set. “I thought I told you to get this thing away from me.” I threw my head back and laughed. “It's a cat not the devil.” “Same thing!” He grumbled, peeking from behind the couch he'd taken shelter from.I never knew Asher had this adorable side to him. It's freaking cute.Belladonna or Bella for short, darts towards him and he jumps behind me.“Yo, who's protecting whom here?” Frisbee who'd just walked in laughed.“I guess I'm Asher's bodyguard now.” I laughed.I heard him snort behind me before letting go. Suddenly, he'd taken his warmth with him.“It’s hilarious. Who knew the great Asher Donovan would be terrified of a tiny cat?” Frisbee

    Caden's PovThe drive home was like a fucking nightmare before it even began — it rained. Hard.Giovanna didn't have an umbrella so I lent her mine. I couldn't let my favourite bodyguard get soaked to the bone. There, I said it. She's my favourite.“But what about you, sir?” She asked with a hint of worry in her voice.I wrapped my arms around me and smiled, shivering as the rain beat the shit out of me. “I’ll be fine.”The door slammed behind me as an angry Asher stormed towards me with an umbrella. “Are you mad? Why the hell are you standing under the rain?!” He barked.“Do you see me with an umbrella?” I answered in a duh tone. When I noticed he looked at Giovanna, I glared back. “Don't you dare take it from her!”“Jesus Christ!” He hissed then grabbed my wrist. “Come here!”“Where are you taking me?!” I yelled as he practically dragged me back to the house.“For change of fucking clothes!” he hissed back.“Caden, why are you—” Grandma's voice trailed off when she saw Asher drag m
