"Ken, hurry to the Villa. After this, call the doctor to check her condition."
"Yes, sir." Ken accelerated his car toward the Villa.Asher looked closely at the face of the young woman, who looked beautiful and sweet despite her injuries. 'Who is this beautiful woman? Why did she get injured like this?'Just as the car arrived in front of the Villa, Asher immediately brought the woman, who turned out to be Valen, out of the vehicle and the Villa door was already open. Inside the Villa, the butler and other servants were waiting for him."Welcome, Mr. Asher. I am the butler of this Villa. Just call me Aunt Anna," greeted the butler named Aunt Anna."Don't you see there is an injured woman in my hands? Stop the basics, quickly call the doctor, and prepare clean clothes. Help her to clean up and prepare dinner right now!" Asher insisted,"Yes, as you ordered. Sir, one of the servants, will escort you to the guest room." Aunt An replied firmly, despite feeling guilty for not seeing the situation earlier.Aunt An's subordinate servant came, "Sir, let me take you to the guest room." She said politely. She walked in front of Asher to show him the guest room section.In a half panic, Asher immediately carried Valen up the stairs. Right beside the stairs was a room reserved for sure guests.In the spacious room with distinctive ornaments, combined with a somewhat elegant design, Asher took Valen and laid Valen on the bed for the servants to take care of her. Asher, watching every inch of the girl whose identity he didn't know yet, noticed a deep bullet wound."What a tough woman! She can still survive with a body full of bruises and bullet scratches. She's lost a lot of blood!"Asher looked at the waitress with a hostile gaze. "Maid! Is the doctor still out? He's already lost a lot of blood!" Asher said, raising his voice."Maid, take care of this woman. Give her first aid before the doctor comes!" Ordered Asher, who was still furious.There were still many things Asher had to do, and with a half-hearted feeling, he left it to the servants. Asher, who saw that his shirt was dirty, shook off the blood and mud on his sleeves and collar. Asher stepped into his room which was one room away.Ken followed behind him and stopped Asher in his tracks."Sir, I want to tell you! The Doctor will be arriving at the Villa shortly. Do you have any other orders?" Ken asked."Rearrange my schedule for tomorrow, postpone all meetings with colleagues and arrange another time, and I want to see the surroundings. By the way, Immediately establish a special connection to contact the Dragon Knight headquarters and make sure no one is suspicious. Don't let us be suspected in someone else's country!""Yes, sir, I will do it. Sir, may I tell you the truth? Do you realize you don't look like your usual self today? You asked me to rearrange tomorrow's important schedule to look around. Isn't that too ridiculous a reason?" Asked Ken hesitantly. Although Ken's intention was only to confirm his assumption, seeing Asher's temperament was difficult.Instantly Asher looked at Ken sharply, between feeling insinuated and not accepting Ken's words slightly provoked Asher's emotions that had not subsided."Shut up, Ken! Don't try to guess what's in my heart! Especially assuming useless things. I hope you remember that well!" Asher said.From the direction of the stairs, a servant came along with the doctor approaching Asher. "Sir, he is the doctor who was contacted," the servant informed, and beside her was already the doctor who was brought."Take the doctor to the guest room to examine the woman's condition.""Yes, sir." The servant escorted the doctor to the guest room.-In the guest roomThe servant escorted the Doctor to Valen's room, "Doc, she is the woman Mr. Asher saved. Can I help you?" Asked the maid.The doctor checked Valen's condition and attached an IV to her. With various medical tools, the doctor cleaned several wounds and bullet scratches and put a bandage on her wrist.A few minutes later, Asher came to see the examination results. "Doc, what is his current condition?" Asked Asher as he approached Valen.The doctor who had just finished treating Valen packed up his medical tools and took a few steps back. "His condition is quite poor, apart from the bruises and bullet scratches on his body. Her health deteriorated due to the lack of a nutritious food supply for months. This lady even took anesthetics and other drugs on a long-term basis. But fortunately, her body is strong, so I will prescribe medicine to neutralize the effects of the drugs she has taken." The doctor explained."Then when will she start to wake up?""It should be soon, as his condition has stabilized.""Thank you, Doc," Asher turned to her Servant, "Servant! Escort the Doctor out." Asher ordered the Servant at the door."Yes, Sir." The Servant replied. "Doctor, let me take you to the front. The prescription you wrote can be handed over to me." Said the Servant. She escorted the Doctor out of the guest room.The room was quiet, with only Asher accompanying Valen, who had yet to regain consciousness. Asher began to look at Valen's face, and he tucked the hair that covered Valen's beautiful eyes. The deeper Asher looked, the more Asher wanted to know who the sweet girl in front of his eyes was.'Get well soon, sweety girl.' Asher thought. He kissed Valen's forehead before finally leaving the room.As Asher was about to leave his seat, Valen suddenly held Asher's hand tightly. "Don't go, don't leave me alone..." Valen mumbled. Without realizing it, Valen burst into tears."Sweety girl, are you having a nightmare, even to the point of tears?" Asher wiped Valen's tears from her face. "Alright, I'm not leaving. Sleep well, sweet girl." Asher finally sat down and let the woman beside him hold his hand tightly.Knock. Knock.Ken came in carrying a laptop and documents, along with the schedule for tomorrow. He handed the items to Asher. "Sir, I have updated the schedule you requested. Regarding the meeting with colleagues, I have postponed it entirely. And one more thing, I have contacted the Dragon Knight Headquarters. I assure you that no one will discover the location of this place. Is there anything else you want to say?" Ken asked."No need. You may leave." Asher opened the laptop to look at the data regarding the monitoring in District B.Not long after, Valen calmed down. Vale
When Valen returned from dinner, she did not immediately close his eyes. Instead, Valen sat with an irritated face imagining Asher's every annoying behavior and word."Even after I got hurt, the person who helped me was a jerk like Asher. Seeing how he looks and talks makes me want to stuff him with cayenne pepper. Aaargh ... I wonder why I've been able to like a guy like Luze for a year and have a traitor like Carissa. But come to think of it, Asher is a handsome guy. I have nothing to lose by being saved by him." Valen babbled until the end sentence.Valen, who was sitting, slammed her body on the mattress with a flushed face. "Never mind, I'd better get some sleep. Tomorrow I have to prepare myself to go back to Addison's house. That old fart definitely won't let me off so easily."The next day at the villa, Valen woke up from her sleep. She got up from the bed and walked out of the room. In front of the door of his room, there was already a servant ready to take orders.Valen appr
Asher left the Villa early in the morning because he wanted to see the conditions around the docks. He planned to monopolize one of the docks as an entry point for weapons from various countries. "Ken, what do you think of the dock conditions? This place is very strategic and connects various neighboring countries. If we can monopolize this place, we can expand the black market area to the entire Either continent." "Sir, what you say is true. But according to the information I got, the person who manages the docks is difficult to talk to." Asher, gazing at the endless sea, turned to Ken with a grin, "Difficult?! Nothing is complicated if it's about money. In this world, money rules. If the person managing this place is so difficult to control, find someone else concerned and offer him what we have." "Yes, sir, I will find out as soon as possible and report to you." Ken then went to take care of what his master ordered. Bzzzt bzzzt Asher's cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate
Asher immediately approached Valencia, lying on the floor covered in bruises. Even the stitches from the bullet that grazed her arm had reopened and were oozing fresh blood. "I can't believe this family is so cruel, even torturing without feeling the slightest guilt!" Asher said, looking sharply at Mrs. Jane in front of him. "Who are you? How dare you enter our residence without any manners. Are you one of this damn woman's customers?" Mrs. Jane said in a high tone without knowing who she was talking to. Addison, overwhelmed by Asher's anger, rushed to catch up. Once he reached the living room and heard his wife talking nonsense, he immediately stopped her. "Shut up!" Mr. Addison pointed at Mrs. Jane. "Don't you know that Mr. Asher is one of the largest shareholders in Stanford State?" The woman called Mrs. Jane turned to Mr. Addison, "Really?" Mrs. Jane was wide-eyed, her face instantly turning pale. The other people in the house were no exception. They began to think about their
It didn't take long for the shadow guards to turn the tables. The seven remaining assassins lay covered in blood. Two of them were unconscious and already under guard. Not long after, a helicopter managed to land not far from the scene. Asher returned to the car's location and carried Valencia's bridal style into the helicopter. Judging from her condition, Valen's body looked increasingly pale. Asher checked Valen's breathing and heartbeat several times, hoping the breath was still there even if it was weak. "Damn it! Why is her condition deteriorating!" Asher growled, annoyed at being unable to do anything when his woman's condition was critical. He unconsciously showed his concern. The helicopter began to take off with the best pilot Dragon Knight had and flew to one of the nearest hospitals in the Burnley township, Broughton Country. Fifteen minutes passed, and not far from the Burnley hospital, there was a large field, and the helicopter landed there. Asher went out to take V
"What tricks are you going to play, Asher? I definitely won't fall into the same hole!" Valen replied. She looked at her interlocutor with confidence and a hint of annoyance."Whatever you want to think of me. If I make you love me in half a year, you must accept your status as Mrs. Asher. But I will let you go if I fail and will not interfere with your life." Asher said, releasing his embrace and raising both hands by his words."What tricks are you going to play, Asher? I'm not going to fall into the same hole!" Valen replied. She looked at her interlocutor with confidence and a hint of exasperation there."Whatever you want to think of me. If I make you love me in half a year, you must accept your status as Mrs. Asher. But I will let you go if I fail and will not interfere with your life." Asher said, releasing his embrace and raising both hands at his words.Valen did not waste that. She quickly moved from Asher's lap and chose to sit back against the headboard.Released from Ashe
"Hn. Think of it that way." Asher hugged Valencia and stroked the long hair that was left loose. "Remember one thing, dear. No matter how cruelly the world betrays you, there is still me here who will always embrace and support you no matter what. I'm not asking you to trust my words, but trust your feelings and your heart." Asher spoke softly and touched Vallen's heart deeply. "Aaugh..." Valencia whimpered. It seemed that her injured arm was accidentally pressed by Asher's hand while hugging her. Hearing her moan, Asher released his embrace and looked at Valencia's body, which was partially scarred. Luckily, the gunshot wound was not open and was safe. Asher sighed, "Thank goodness the wound did not re-open. Sorry, dear. I think I hugged you too tightly earlier." "It's okay. You're just like that." Vallen replied curtly. Spending time with Asher made Vallen know a little about the personality of the man who married her forcefully and shamelessly. "It looks like I must get used t
"Vallen, no matter how much you hate Mr. Asher, you are officially married. I'm just suggesting you take this opportunity to get back at the people who did cruel things to you and continue investigating who you are. A man like Asher must have extensive connections. It will be easier for you to find out your true identity." "That was the original purpose of it all. Until now, I've been plagued by strange dreams, making me uncomfortable." Vallen's heart ached as she remembered the painful dreams that continued to haunt her. Once again, Raisa hugged Vallen, who was still weakened. She knew how Vallen was during her time at Addison's residence. There was no affection, let alone love, from them. "You can achieve what you're trying to achieve. I believe that, Vallen." Vallen leaned her heavy head on Raisa's shoulder, hoping the burden on her heart would ease a little. At that moment, Aunt An entered the room as the door was slightly open. She was seen carrying some gifts and placing t
