"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 8 - Rewards and Scandals

    "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 statement as I watched his face darken. Oh no. Thanks to my flowing mouth, I just stepped on his tail. I heard mumbles and snickers behind me. Logan gave me a long hard stare, then smiled. I found it creepy."Very well. Come with me then. I have the cash in my office.""The class wasn't held in your office, Mr. Logan. So why should I follow you there?" I insisted.He sighed deeply, tucking a hand into the pocket of his jeans. "Fine. If you insist. I thought I was about to do you a lot of good b

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 7 - A Good Bargain

    Asher dragged me down the stairs and out of the building until we reached a corner of the field, far from public view. It was still dark, but bright enough for me to make out his features.I yanked my hand free. “What the hell is the meaning of this, Asher? Are you crazy? What kind of impression did you just create out there?!”He arched a brow. “Oh. Are you yelling at me now?” He shot me a menacing stare that only fueled my anger.“You have no idea how hard I’m fighting the urge to slap you right now. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better go back and clear my name.”“Or what?" He leaned so close to me I had to drift back till my back hit the fence. "You think you can talk back at me or dare me now, huh?” he snarled, placing both hands on the fence beside my head, trapping me between his arms.Perfect. Now I was stuck. Anyone who saw us from afar would think we were making out. Notwithstanding, my heart pounded wildly. At that moment, I understood why girls fell all over him.

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 6 - Dreams Vs. Reality

    I jolted up from the bed immediately, drenched in sweat.No way in the world would Asher ever say that. He would rather kill me first than give Mia a chance.That had been a horrible dream.I looked at the time. A few minutes past five.I got down on my knees to pray. I was barely done when my door flung open. It was Regan, already dressed for school.“Are you still in bed? Hurry, let’s go.” She walked in and pulled me up. “I need to see Logan before the first period. I don’t understand everything he taught yesterday.”“Logan?”“Yeah. I can’t go alone, and we both know Lisa isn’t an early bird. Besides, you’ll benefit too since you missed school yesterday.”I tried to shake my head, but it felt heavy and ached. “I’m very good at Algebra. I can help us.”She rolled her eyes. “Stop acting like you know it all. This particular topic is more complicated than you think.”Let me guess. Asher would be early for practice this morning, and she was hoping to see him.“What do you think of Logan

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 6 - Early Morning Trauma

    Once again, I willed myself not to cry as I gathered what was left of the remaining good bags and moved to an abandoned shack that once looked like a coffee shop by the corner. I sat on the low step beside my bags and sniffed silently.I thought of calling Uncle Pete to know if he'll be returning from work already, but I decided it wouldn't be cool to bother him. I swore not to touch the money Asher's grandma had given me. I needed it whole and intact. One thing was certain, I would definitely find my way home. My phone rang about ten minutes later. Regan. I picked it immediately."Where are you?!" She barked.Her question broke the dam I had been holding up for too long. I cried into the mouthpiece and she panicked at once."Grace? What's the problem? Are you okay?" Exactly twenty minutes later, Regan was next to me, looking so worried and breathless. I was really surprised she could have the mind to look out for me, considering how much she hated me."Do you remember the plate numb

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 4 - Grace and Bennie

    "Come on, Bennie, won't you say hi?" His grandma entreated. "Or is she so pretty and dead gorgeous, you can't?" Asher scoffed this time and broke the staring contest, looking away. "Gorgeous, my foot." He muttered under his breath. I heard him though. I knew I was pretty, but for her to use dead gorgeous was a little over the top. It's not like I looked dressed up in my old cargo dress and moccasins. With my hair parked in my usual rough bun because I hardly have the time to take good care of it. Or was she being sarcastic?Whatever. I returned my attention to the elderly woman. "I'll like to hurry now. Please can I get my bags?" "Yeah, sure." She responded. "Bennie, do me a good favour and drop her off. Her bags are a lot.""No, thank you. I will simply take a taxi." I quickly objected. She laughed."You don't know how much you will be charged for these, do you? Don't worry, he has a ride. Let him handle it for you." Then she looked up at him. "Will you, darling?""Of course, yeah

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 3 - All for a Cup of Noodles

    I did a lot of thinking as I laid on the bed with my growling stomach. Regan treated me the way she did because my family practically lived at their mercy.I grew up in a small town in Minnesota. My parents own a few farms where we plant corn and soybeans. But three years ago, we had the worst harvest ever. Uncle Pete, Regan's dad, who came visiting, suggested I follow him to Michigan and school with his daughter, to ease my family off some burden because we were four kids in all, of which I was the eldest. Of course I agreed. And here I have been. Thing is... Regan never welcomed me because she saw me as a local country girl who came to steal her dad and invade her perfect life. Regan was registered into our current school, Blue Lake High, by her mum's elder sister, Aunt Elena, who had no child of her own and considered Regan as hers. She was a very rich and influential lady from what I heard, a successful YouTuber and a dentist.I made it via scholarship the previous year, thanks
