"We made the deal here. So we might as well execute it here." I declared.

Logan was stunned at my confidence. He must have mistaken me for a quiet kid. "My office doesn't bite, Ms. Williams. I need to know what you were doing at the field earlier this morning before handing you the money too."

My anger bubbled to the surface. "I hope you're not talking under the influence of drugs. Because I don't see what my being in the field has to do with this." I blurted, before realizing the weight of my

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 66 - Real Happiness?

    For some reasons, my eyes watered at my dad's questions. "I'm also part of the reason she returned. It's all my fault. I joined other kids in bullying her and landed her in trouble. Now she's here.” I sniffed."Why would you do that?” My dad asked calmly. "That doesn't sound like you.”"I know, right? I was such a fool. I was trying so hard to hide my feelings for her only to express it that way.” I forced a bitter laugh."So you're here to apologize?”I clicked my tongue and blew my cheeks. "Not exactly. I'm actually here to see you. I just thought I could say hi to her if she's really here.”I was glad he didn't remember to bring up Ralph. He ought to be aware by now that he's back.Saying hi to Grace became a mere wish by daybreak. While my dad went to drop off Kal, my driver, at the airport that early morning, I found my way to the church. Though I would have preferred being with my dad since we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I felt this was the only opportunity I h

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 65 - Tangled Thoughts

    "I think Xena has something really strong against you.” Terry mulled thoughtfully. "Didn't Grace steal some things from her phone then that you were trying so hard to get back?” "I doubt he was able to get it.” Matt studied me. "You know he got so emotional about hitting her in the first place. He later went ahead and gave it to Suzella.” Terry scoffed. "That's dumb. Very dumb of you. You let your emotions override your judgement. Just when you had the cake in your hand, all you had to do then was remove the icing, but you simply returned it.” Matt snickered at Terry. "What's up with you, dude? You also have a crush on her.” "HAD.” Terry emphasized. “Besides, it's past tense. And at least, I didn't make a fool of myself like him." I was going to ask Terry how I made a fool of myself, but I didn't feel like indulging him, instead I sighed deeply. “Guys, my hands feel tired holding this phone. If you've really got nothing else to say, I'd just hang up.” "Wait, Ash.” Matt stoppe

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 64 - A New Game Begins

    I bit my lower lip as I eyed him, feeling mad he was intruding my privacy. "Welcome home.” He slumped down on the bed next to me, inching his face closer to mine. “Tell me, who is the girl? I heard you have no girlfriend." “Why are you here? Were you chased out of school or expelled?" His expression faltered for a moment but was replaced with a quick smile. “I missed home. I guess I just had to return to guard my stuff before they slipped away from me." His smile widened as he got up from the bed. That was when I noticed the clothes he had in hand. They were a new set from my closet which I was yet to use. "Those are my clothes. What are you up to?” He looked down at his arms with a smirk. "Didn't you hear what I said? I returned to look after my stuff so they don't slip away from me. When you came for the first time, my mum let you use most of my things before she finally took you shopping. So let's say, you're repaying me the favour." He winked at me as he walked out

  • 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

    Just as I predicted, I felt his hand on my stomach the next moment as it slowly trailed up to my chest. My eyes shot open immediately, and I grabbed his hand. He was so shocked that he lost his balance and fell on me. It was the most awkward moment of my life because his face was barely an inc

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 15 - Playing Dead

    I quickly pressed the screen against my body, so the light wouldn't reflect. Thankfully, Asher hurried to the curtain, and I let it drop next to the spot where Xena had plugged it earlier. “You dropped it here to plug it back, didn't you?” Asher asked Xena as he picked it up. Now I couldn't tell i

    He looked stunned that I would dare object. "Fine. That leaves me with no option other than to inform Xena.” I said nothing and merely looked away. Let's see who would put a bullet to my head tonight. The worst that could happen was me returning to Minnesota which I would so much prefer right now.

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 13 - Do Your Worst, Bennie

    I glanced at the back door we had come through. There was no way I’d make it back there without being seen. The car was getting closer and slowing down.“What are you guys doing?” Asher whispered urgently. He grabbed my arm, dragged me to his car, and shoved me into the back seat. “Lie flat and sta
