Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovPeople in the house were shocked by my decision to hire Hector and as I expected, Jasper and Kezia voiced their disagreement with my decision. Though Dad didn’t say anything, I can see in his eyes that he is also on their side this time.Mom, Easter, and Aasiyah also do not agree with it but they choose to respect what I want to do, just like what they kept doing for the past months. I guess they trust me that much now.“He is changing!” I insisted on them because they kept telling me that I shouldn’t trust Hector since we all know who he really is. “Why don’t you give him a chance?”“Do you really believe that he is capable of changing?” Jasper asked. “What if he is only pretending to get your sympathy? And when you are finally comfortable with him, he will use that opportunity to take back everything he gave up and force you again to marry him.”I narrowed my eyes on him. “Are you hearing yourself now, brother? We all know that Hector is incapable of pretens

Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovEverything that I need to move to the farm is all set. Dad already sent there the people that will help me to start the new chapter of my life.Though, I will still visit here from time to time. That is why I don’t understand why my siblings and mother are crying right now.“Seriously, guys?” I shook my head while looking at them. Especially Kezia who has been hugging me tight. “I am just three hours’ drive away. You can visit me any time you want. And I will also try to visit as much as I can. This is not something like when I was hiding in Yain City. You can call me whenever you want.”“It is still different whenever you are here,” Kezia exclaimed. “Why do you have to live there? You have been taking care of Granny’s property remotely since you all got it, right?”“I know.” I sighed. “But now that I don’t have the SweetHeart and the foundation, the farm is currently my primary source of income. I had to study everything about it from scratch. So, please? Sto

Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovI received a warm welcome from the original workers of the farm. I have known most of them since they started working here when Granny was still alive. Some of them were hired by me when I started handling things around here and there were new ones that Dad hired to help Judith with the work in the mansion.And of course, Hector, who immediately got along with the people here. They know that he is the former crown prince but it seems like it doesn’t matter to them. They might be treating him as a normal person but they are all nice to him.Which is good since we never know how long he will be working here.Since I let him choose what work he wanted to do here, he chose to take care of the horses we have here. Maybe because he is already familiar with that since they have been taking care of horses in the palace. And he often joins horseback tournaments so he knows how to handle one.After taking care of things around the changes that will happen around the far

Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“I already transferred the foundation to my sister,” I repeated. “My lawyer finished taking care of the paperwork last year and it was finalized last week. The foundation is now formally owned by Aasiyah.”Shock was still all over his face after I explained that.Aasiyah will hold a press conference about this to publicly announce the transfer. It was scheduled for next week but since there are still threats to her safety because of me, they might reschedule it once Dad formed new security details for her.I frowned when I saw the concern on Hector’s face as if I made a huge mistake.“Aasiyah took over the foundation when I left our home two years ago,” I continued. “And because of what I have to do, I decided to completely let it go. And Aasiyah decided to shoulder everything since she fell in love working there.”“You…” He cupped his forehead and sat on the floor. I don’t know what his problem is but he is acting as if it was big news for him.And it is not

Caspian Jyn’s Pov“Something is wrong,” Rajiv said after his phone call and turned to me. “They are all acting weird.”I frowned. “Who?”“Lucky and the rest of Asper’s bodyguards,” he answered. “I don’t know what but Asper has been acting weird ever since she met Reina at Yain City.”I leaned my back in my chair’s backrest and looked at him. “What makes you think that they are acting weird?”“Asper changed, Jyn,” he said. “For the whole year that we haven’t seen her, she changed a lot. She is no longer the type to just stay on the side, keep quiet, and do nothing.”“You think they will cover for her if she is doing something without our knowledge?”He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know how Asper thinks now and the caporegime that we assigned to her are all afraid and loyal to you,” he said. “But I still can’t shake the feeling that Asper is doing something.”I know what he is trying to say because I also felt that way.“Pull out the last batch of security details that we sent there
