The house was one of the properties belonging to Uncle Harry. It was among the ones he had delisted because he had renovation plans in mind. One day, when we went out for dinner and passed by, he had ordered his driver to stop and told his wife that this was one of the buildings he intended to use for his new project.

That was why he hadn’t been bothering with maintenance or raising the rent. What I didn’t know was when he intended to carry out those plans.

I couldn’t believe this was where Suz

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 63 - Hi or Bye?

    I rubbed a hand over my face in exasperation. "Actually, she's a cousin. A distant cousin, but I call her my sister.” Was lying actually necessary?Well, I bid my grannie farewell and set off with them. I wouldn't lie, I had fun. And so I hung out with them for the rest of the week after school, whenever I wasn't practicing, and even stopped by at their place sometimes. I saw a lot of reasons why Grace enjoyed their company.They were so cool and good.Though I dreaded Ralph's coming which ought to be on Friday night. Among the shit Grace sent from Xena’s phone, there was the dirty chat with Logan. I wasn't surprised she must have slept with almost all the male teachers in school. She also kept sex tapes to threaten them with. Little wonder she had them on the palm of her hands.What broke me was when I saw she had one of me too. Now, I wouldn't blame Grace for thinking so less of me. Though mine wasn't as explicit as the ones she had with the teachers, but still, it passed a wrong m

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 62 - Let's Pretend

    I woke up two hours later to my aunt's and grannie's nudging. A doctor was around. They fussed over me, made me eat and take my medications, before I was left alone again.I think I was way too hard on Grace. Afterall that was her way with words, and that was how we rolled with each other. Saying things we don't mean to see who gets hurt. So I decided to phone her again before going to bed. But I was surprised to hear a masculine voice.“Who am I speaking with?" I asked in surprise.“Who did you have the intention of speaking to?" I sighed, rolling my eyes. “Shouldn't I be the one asking? I mean, why are you with the owner’s phone?" Who the hell was he anyway? All my guts screamed Alex.“Tell me why you should be the one asking, jerk.” My heart fell. Jerk. So I was still a jerk to her. My eyes drifted to the name of my screen. Bitchy. I edited it that moment."Listen, I am not a jerk, okay? She only mistook me for someone else, that's why my name is saved that way.”“Then what’s yo

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 61 - Crying?

    “Why are you making everyone believe I am your son?” I asked my aunt after a long silence. “Do you feel so sorry for me or do I look too pathetic?”She folded her arms and gave me a straight stare. “Because you are family, Asher. I once had no family. I was an only child and lost my parents to an accident after graduating high school. I had no family till I met your uncle. I was hoping my husband would have a family I could embrace, so my kids wouldn’t feel lonely or go through the same experience I had. But I was disappointed when your uncle said he lost his family after a fire incident. But one day, he found his brother, your dad. I was so happy.” She paused with a sad smile. “I was happier when I learnt he had a family too. I was so eager to meet you guys.” she paused again with a deep sigh. “It was so unfortunate we lost your mum that period, and later, Gabrielle. So why ask me why I make everyone believe you are my son?”Wow. I was so impressed by her sincerity. She apparently s

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 60 - Depression

    Dinner that night was merrier than I had expected. My grannie’s eyes reflected happiness, and my grandpa whispered in my ears, asking if she was my girlfriend.And for the first time in a long time, I found myself in the kitchen, helping her do the dishes. The last time I had done it was with Gabrielle. I wished she would live with my grandma instead of returning to Minnesota, but of course, there was no way I could just propose that to her from the blues. We snuggled up in each other arms that night, but by the following morning, I had to let her go. After dropping her off close to her house, I was shocked to find my friends hanging around the area.“What are you guys doing here?” I asked, surprised.They gave me curious stares that made me wonder if they found out something they shouldn’t. “Don’t you think we should be the ones asking you that?” Terry demanded, inching closer to me with a threatening glare. “We sent someone to tail you after you left school yesterday, and guess wh

What I didn’t know was when he intended to carry out those plans.I couldn’t believe this was where Suzella and her family lived. Should I tell them or not? Maybe I should mention it to Grace instead? But then, I would have to explain what I was doing here in the first place, and I wasn’t sure I wanted her to know that yet.I rushed into the house with Corn and Suzella. Their mum was struggling to get the old man onto a worn-out wheelchair when I came in. He looked limp and unconscious.“Move aside, Mum,” Corn ordered.She obeyed immediately, and Corn and I took over. “Fold the chair and bring it

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 58 - Shock Waves

    If Ralph was returning, then I was as good as screwed here in Blue Lake and it will only be a matter of time before the whole school finds out who I really am.An underdog.“Asher?" The teacher called. “Are you okay?" No. I think I'm about to go crazy. “Please, excuse me. This is urgent." I said, hurrying out of the class. For no freaking reason, Xena followed. She was the last person on earth I needed next to me at that moment because I could really punch her hard and do things I never even imagined. She was so evil. I can't believe I have been rolling with her all this while. Well, I ignored her and hurried on to the restroom, making my way to an empty stall where I locked myself up. I thought I was going to have a panic attack and just slid down the wall to the floor, panting hard and sweating.Vivid images of Gabrielle's death began replaying in my head. It repeated over and over, till the subsequent scenes were of Grace being bullied. It was like a voice started talking to m

    Asher was seated next to me, and so when I choked, he patted my back gently. “It’s okay.”I stopped after a while, and felt better.I hated the way everyone suddenly stared at me, including Summer, and I felt so embarrassed. I couldn’t stand it so I excused myself and disappeared into the kitchen.

    My first impulse was to push him away as he hugged me, but he smelled so great, so I just let him be and inhaled his scent. I think the hug must have lasted about a quarter of a minute before he finally let go.“Why have you been treating me this way all because I spoke to your dad?”By now, every

    Faith had left already, leaving Alex who lingered, feeding his eyes on me. “Is everything okay?”My first impulse was to yell at him and order him out, but I knew better. “I’m sorry, Alex. I don’t think I’m in the mood right now. I just received some bad news,”He nodded in understanding, though lo

    I wasn’t sure I understood what Mabel meant. “What did you say?”“Don’t you know your parents have been owing? Their debts are long overdue, so the loan shark people have…”I didn’t wait to hear the rest of what she was saying before taking off in speed. Why did they hide this from me? Why did my m
