After he Alex left, Asher walked back into the room to arrange some things he might be taking back to the clinic later that evening. Eva had given him list of things Elizabeth might be needing and Asher wanted to arrange them as soon as possible.Once he had finished arranging, Asher realized she didn’t have enough clothes and now that she has delivered, it would be better if he got her a few more as well as the baby. He quick retrieved his phone and sent a message to someone to have the items he needed delivered by morning.Asher knew showering her with gifts and affection would never make up for the things he did to her but he can only hope. Having her love and adore their little boy even though he was practically forced on her just seem to warm his heart in way unimaginable.Too think that after everything, she would still care for his flesh and blood as though it was the best thing that ever happened to her. It made him only questioned himself on why he ever treated her the way he

“I don’t know. Someone must have told them and it’s not me and I doubt it’s Alex” Asher said with a confused brow. He walked over to the window and looked outside, a low growl erupting his mouth as well. The celebration were getting louder and he knew it only a matter of time before the news travels all around. The woman were probably happy the curse had been lifted and now they too can look forward to having their own babies without fear of being barren. Asher was more furious at the situation than ever before. He realized whatever he wanted to do has to be done sooner than later. Now that her news was out, the elders would be looking for a meeting soon. The highest he is likely to get is a week and that would barely be enough. “We are in danger ain’t we?” Elizabeth asked quietly, her voice filled with dread and sadness and Asher quickly rushed to her side, seeing the tears form in her eyes. Cupping both her cheeks in his hands, he peered down at her intently, “I’m not going to

Asher POVIf Asher was angry before, now he is livid as he stormed into the council hall with blood still soaked all over his clothes. All head turned to stare gingerly at him as all the muttering simply died down.“Whose idiotic idea was it to send men after what’s mine?” Asher asked dangerously and threateningly, his eyes dark and filled with rage as he moved them through all the figures seated in the room.Elder Marcus was the first to react with a cold glare at his direction.“You really have forgotten where you are standing haven’t you? This great hall was built by your ancestors and have had men greater than you stand within it walls without raising their voice in disrespect but here you are, acting like an insolent child”“I know exactly what this hall signify but lately I find that only men of evil intent and malice dwells within its walls. Who among you sent those two men after my son's life” Asher asked once again and he saw their eyes widen.“So you have a son now?” one of

Alex's eyes moved from her face and down to the bag clutched between her hand and immediately, he understood what Elizabeth was trying to do. He wasn’t surprised by this because of what she had gone through in the hands of Asher. This was her chance to escape and he knew he couldn’t blame her one bit if she tried.But he made a promise to keep her safe and he was not about to give up on that just yet.“Can I come in?” He asked her as he took a step further into the room and she hesitated for a moment before she let out a sigh and nodded.“You won’t let me go, would you?” “I’m sorry but I can’t let you risk your life and that of the baby like that. It’s too dangerous out there and your best shot is to stay here until Asher returns”She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh as she let the bag fell to the floor beside her feet with a thud.“I can’t stay here, Alex. Did you see what happened at the clinic today? My son was almost killed and now Asher is gone. Who knows when you will b

“My childhood?” Alex answered with a nod, “How was growing up like for you, living with your parent” “I don’t remember very much but we lived happily before my mom died and my childhood ended” Elizabeth said simply with a shrug. “So your father stopped treating you nicely after your Mom died?” She gave a curt nod. “He acted as if I was adopted and then wanted nothing to do with me again hence his reason for shipping me off to that boarding school even before I was of the legal age” Alex had a thoughtful look in his eyes as he tried to digest the information she had given. “was there anything unusual from your past that you still remember?” She was quiet for a moment as she rake her brain for something. “I’m not sure but they used to be this strange man that come around to see us. I can’t even remember what he looks like but he used to bring me gifts and his eyes were exactly like mine” Elizabeth said spouting a smile at the memory. Alex thought about what she had said for sev
