Semua Bab Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me: Bab 51 - Bab 60

~Asher~***"Sir, I think we're being followed." My chauffeur alerted and my eyes rolled to the rearview mirror, true to his words there was a black Hyundai on our tail."Take the route on the left," I ordered my eyes still on the rearview, and again, the car maneuvered into our lane.I threw my head back, trying to identify the car but I caught no familiarity.I fished out my phone and alerted Drew."Drive away from them as fast as you can, we need to buy time."Soon, I received Drew's message, telling me he was behind the car.I had refused a convoy for this trip, even though I knew the amount of enemies my success had given me.I glanced at my time, another minute and I would be late for the dinner meeting. It was an official one that would officially mark off a contract that Walton had been seeking for ages with a top firm in the country. It took me only a week to get it, and I knew it would anger a lot of people. Above all, Ian. I had no doubt that he was responsible for this.He

~Asher~***Going home to her was all it took to lift my mood. Ian had gotten on my nerves so bad, I almost stood up to strangle him. I was tempted to end him on the spot, watching him suffer as his life slipped away by the second, the same way he treated the woman who meant the world to me.I watched Elena from the transparent door as she flipped through the pages of a book. Seeing her face was therapeutic. It works for me every time. She seemed pretty dedicated to what she was reading and I had my own issues to sort, so I didn't bother interrupting her.She was engrossed in a book about leg massages, I could see it from a diagram on the back cover. I also found her little section where she stored about five other books on the same massages. She must have used her money to get them, it was then I understood why she was always interested in handling my massages.I quietly left her and went to my desk to reply to the important emails my secretary forwarded to me. I couldn't sort them o

~Asher~***"Shit!" I cursed under my breath, throwing another ball of paper into the bin. It's been two hours already and I haven't written a proper proposal.If I hadn't dismissed my secretary, I would have had her take care of it. This was an important writing but I could hardly input five lines. I keep messing it up!It was my umpteenth try but still yielded the same result. Why does she keep popping in my head?I knew I would suffer these consequences the moment I pinned her on me but I didn't expect it to affect me this much.I was a monster, there was no denying this. She should have known and not provoked me. I didn't regret what I did one bit as it was the only way I believed I could make her stay, the look on her face was the only thing I regretted. I hated the tears and the fire that burned in her eyes when she stared at me from the floor after I was done.It was her fault for not realizing how much of a monster I was. I never should have met her, her life would probably ha

~Elena~***We arrived at the suburb of a city and Asher held my hand as we moved forward, a few bodyguards walking behind us."Why are we here?" I asked him."You'll find out," he smiled at me, squeezing my palm lightly in his.In a few seconds, we stood in front of a mansion painted in shades of pink. It was like a castle with a very large swimming pool. It also had a running fountain and the floors shone like the sea was underneath it."What is this place?" I asked in awe."I'll show you."We got into the building and that was when I realized that the entire walls were painted in pink and shades of pink, most of the decor had the color too. The living room was wide and spacious, everything in it screamed wealth but I still wondered why Asher brought me here.I faced him and saw a file being passed to him by his guard, he opened it and handed it to me.Quizzically, I took it and stared into it. After a moment, my face twitched as I read through the paperwork.I turned to Asher, conf

~Elena~***Three days had passed since the incident and Asher was still lying in bed unconscious. All through, I stayed by his side and took care of him.The only thing that gave me hope was knowing he was alive and breathing, even though I looked forward to the day he would open his eyes.The surgery was successful but his back was still covered with stitches and healing scars that needed to dry up. Thankfully, the fire hadn't destroyed any of his vital organs but he suffered extreme pain. I could only imagine what it felt like and it left me with more guilt.I opened my eyes when I felt a soft touch and tilted my head upwards to find Asher waking up. He appeared to be stuck in a dream and struggling with the Oblivion to gain consciousness. His lips started to move and I could hear him breathing from his mouth."Asher? Can you hear me, Asher? " I immediately sat up, touching him lightly. I sprang to my feet and rushed to the door to get the doctor when I heard him speak."Don't go."
