Grayson's POV"Come in," I announced as someone knocked on my door.But in my surprised, Gerald came in to my office. Which is not expecting because I'm expecting Asher to disturb me. Not my dear brother whose busy making himself better to everyone else in this house. "What do you want? I'm not in the mood dealing with your nonsense," I muttered straight. "I didn't came here to have a fight," he murmured. "Then what are you desiring on to have?" I murmured. "Let's talked about us."I stop reading an important documents and glanced to my brother, "What about us? Is this some sort of brother talk?""If that's how you define it, Grayson.""I'm not interested. You can leave, Gerald.""I'll stay, although you wanted to avoid my presence at the very beginning. You know, you can't.""What that supposed to mean? I'm scared of you?" I laugh."Are you?" My smile disappeared because I don't like what he said, "I believe you have no business in here, Gerald. I have bunch of things to do and
Asher's POV "We're home!" Erika yelled and her voice wrap the mansion and I immediately cover her mouth. The mansion is really quiet and that's not a good sign, my heart pounding faster because I'll definitely received loads of lecture from Grayson. I shouldn't asked her to deal with my own problem. "Shh! Quiet, Erika. They're sleeping at this hour and you're not gonna like of Grayson see us in this kind of situation!""I told you to relax, Asher! We'll be fine, trust me.""Please, be quiet! I told you to shut up and let me help you to your room."She pushed me hard and pointed at my face, although her balance is already weird, "Nope. I don't need your help! We can fix this just freaking trust me, Ash. I help you with that woman and you must have my back!""Shh! Can't you understand the word 'Shh!?' you're putting us in destruction! Come on, I'll help you upstairs."I supported her using putting her arm around my neck, but before we able to step in the stairs. The lampshade in the
Grayson's POVI laid her down to the bed, and tuck her in. When she said those words earlier, it hit me a little bit. Which never in my entire existence happened to me because I never had care to anyone else. Including the person around me. They're a people who always wanted to drag me down, except to the only person I can trust. Asher. She rolled over and it made me chuckled, perhaps Erika is having a mental breakdown because I took her away from the life she used to have. I forbid her to call he brother and even locked her up inside this mansion, took away her one and only freedom because of my fear she'll do the same. I know it's my fault. But you can't blame me if I have trust issues. My eyes turn to the open window because the wind dancing the curtain. I close it and the blinds and about to turn around when my eyes captured something off on the table, so I took it and I check what's inside that paper. It's a death note. Doesn't surprised me because it probably came from Patric
Erika's POVArgh! My head hurts! What happened? I woke up and touch my head, before looking at my body. I felt relieved because my clothes still on, which means my mind save me from getting punish. But how did I get in to my room without banging his friend? I mean, that's nearly possible because I'm drunk and Asher is a jerk. I stretched my arms before yawning, then went to the bathroom since my face is look funny. My make-up scattered all over my face, and then wash my face. After that, wiped it with a clean towel. I even entered the shower to take a quick bath, also to removed my hang over. I catch the water using my face and let it rush down, covering my whole body and make me feel the cold water. I couldn't remember what happened last night and have to asked Asher about that. I am pretty sure he wouldn't hide from me what happened, and he owe me one after helping him out. Although that is my payment to him when he stand for me against Gerald, I shouldn't asked him for another p
Erika's POV I rush down the dining room where everyone is waiting for me but an unexpected event greet me when I saw them at the very most uncomfortable situation. I halt and captured their attention because of my noisy sandals, which is very enough to made me feel awkward. "Uh, am I late for breakfast?" I inquired but they everyone's quiet, as if they talked it'll put them in a very different and unexpected situation. "No, Erika. You just got on time. Have a seat my wife," Gray answered and my eyes landed on the vacant chair beside him. I seated there and avoid having an dangerous eye contact with Patricia, and the rest. These terrifying men around us making me feel anxious, including there people. Grayson's family is very terrifying, however I manage to live here and stay alive. "So, everyone. We made a great deal today and hoping you will obey me at once. This is for your own good, and if you can't stand my rules. You are free to leave," Grayson speak up. What is going on her
Gerald's POV"We're not safe here anymore. We shouldn't stay here and I already warned you, Robert. Your son is sick! He don't care about you anymore!" Priscilla yelling at my father but he is occupied after what Grayson did.I must say Grayson impressed me after that woman made a unforgivable mistake, and deserve to be punish. But, he's blinded by the fact that woman using him for money. Even though Erika not showing any suspicious acts, therefore, I must find a way to prove my suspicion. "What are we going to do now? Follow his rules?""Mom, can you please shut up?" Patricia trying to stop her mom, but Priscilla losing it. What a shame. This woman always failed making her job done, now I have to seduced her daughter to have a useful doll for my brother. Tsk! "How can I shut up, Patricia? Did you see what he did? My heart almost came out to my chest because of that! After what we done for him? He doesn't have indulgence!" She's shouting and it irritates my ear. "Shut up, mom! You
Erika's POV"Aww, why are you sweet Asher?" A woman giggles."Of course, babe. You are my angel and should be treated like one.""I love you, baby!" I heard kissing, that's why I decided to open my eyes after hearing those disgusting words from them. I was greeted by the light coming through the ceiling and heard beeping in my side, which I saw a monitor with my heart rate. I am confused because my memories is quite blurry, and then, I turned to Asher whose busy kissing whoever that girl is. "This is hospital not hotel," I uttered causing them to stop from what they're doing, and looked at me like they saw a ghost. "Erika!" He pushed the young lady causing her to fall in the floor, and made me stunned. Asher embrace me tightly and I felt the pain from my back causing him to lightened the hug, and parted away."What the heck was that, Asher?!" The woman shouted. He turned around and confront the woman, "Baby, can we talked later? Me and my friend has something to discuss.""Was it
Grayson's POVI open my brother's room and saw the woman I use to call mine crying, she didn't leave my brother's side and stay on this room. Patricia didn't sense my presence because she remained crying and didn't looked at me, however, Gerald's still not waking up because of what I did. My father knew what I did and completely understand his anger, but they can't blame me. I already warned them, so they should obey me. Not disobey me because somehow I am making this rules not for Erika, but for everyone else to sue them or make them scared. I made that for all of us. Patricia stood up after wiping his tears and looked around, but she immediately halted after seeing me. She is staring at me, as if her eyes telling me I'm not allowed to see him."What are you doing here?" She asked. "Visiting my brother, Patricia. Common sense."I scoffed, "After what you did to him? You put him into this kind of situation, Gray. You still have the gut coming here? Unbelievable.""Was it forbidden?
