All Chapters of Asher's chosen bride : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ivana was about to trip, but Chelsea saved her from falling down. Ivana looked at who tried to trip her down. She was surprised to see it was Asher’s ex fiance, the popular Hailey Smith. “How dare you try to trip her, and who the hell do you think you are to talk to her like that?” Chelsea retorted angrily. Just then a small crowd of people started coming around together seeing beautiful women fighting each other. “Talk about a bitch that stole my man, you don't even match up to him.” Hailey mimicked Ivana, ignoring Chelsea. “Stole your man? If you were that good, he would not have left you to get married to me.” Ivana chuckled, voicing out. Hailey’s friend scorned Ivana and her friend. “Who do you think you are to talk to Hailey like that, you are not worthy of holding her shoes.” Ivana tried as much to avoid drama. Some people that gathered began to whisper when they got to know Hailey was around. Hailey is a renowned supermodel, Asher and Hailey were rumored to be e

“Why did you bring me outside? I hope Asher is not going to harm her.” Chelsea said, arching her eyebrows in annoyance.“I know Asher cares about her. I’m sure he won’t hurt her. They just need to sort out their misunderstanding,” Richard reassured her, his voice calm.“What’s your name, cutie pie?” Richard asked, he smirked as he leaned against the wall.Chelsea rolled her eyes, taken back by his sudden boldness. Her cheeks burned slightly.“I’m Chelsea, what about you?,” she asked, avoiding his gaze.Richard was amused by her flustered expression. “Richard is it. Do you know Chelsea suits you well. Just lovely and sweet.”Before she replied back at the cheesy comment, the store door creaked open.Asher and Ivana stepped of the store, Ivana's cheeks were red. While Asher exuded a strong, domineering aura.They behaved as though they hadn’t just been in a heated argument some minutes ago.Chelsea was relieved to see Ivana was not hurt. “Let’s go to a park to chill out guys, I feel s

***Present time***Now, fifteen years later, Ivana stood face to face with the uncle she could barely remember.“You have no inheritance with Clarkson, blame your mother for stirring up all these troubles.” Brooklyn uttered rudely.“Blame my mother? I don't even know anything about Clarkson's family or whatever inheritance you are talking about.” Where is grandmother? Is she ok?” Ivana asked, looking worried about the new discovery of her grandmother.Chelsea who stood with Rachel squeezed her hand, reassuring her everything is going to be ok.“Don't worry Ivana, I will make sure to get the information about your grandmother's whereabouts.” Asher whispered in her ears.“I will leave you two lovey dovey for now. Ivana, do not take my words lightly.” He threatened her, circling the gun in his hand.Brooklyn gave a signal to his security to move away from the park. They all fell back going into hiding.“Bye for now, little niece, Asher Jackson watch your back.” He said, giving a wicked

Asher opened the door to her room. He gently closed the door behind him, the soft click barely audible in the quiet space.Just then, Ivana came out from the bathroom completely naked. She had forgotten to pick up the towel from the stand, distracted by her train of thoughts earlier.She froze in shock upon seeing him standing inside her room, water droplets still cascading down her skin. "Oh my God…" she stammered.Asher was lost in thoughts, his eyes taking in her curved body. His eyes darkened, filled with desire."What are you doing here?" she demanded, jolting him back from his thoughts.Ivana immediately grabbed the silk robe hanging on the bathroom door and covered herself. Her cheeks bloomed pink with embarrassment as she clutched the robe tightly against her body.She wondered why she kept finding herself in these embarrassing situations today. First the misunderstood almost kiss at dinner, and now this."I'm sorry," Asher said, his voice deeper than usual as he cleared his

"Sister, kindly open your present. I'm sure it will be more valuable than what we presented," Anna stated, giving a satisfied look with Gloria and Cassie. The grand ballroom was filled with curious guests who watched with anticipation. Ivana's heartbeat increased, but she maintained her composure. It was her first real introduction to Asher's family and relatives, and she could feel the weight of judgment from some of the guests.Cassie stepped forward, urging Ivana with a fake smile plastered on her face. “Yes, it would be really nice if you could show us your present here,”"We're all so curious about the lovely present you want to offer at this wonderful occasion.” Anna added, cheering her. Ivana finally unwrapped the painting carefully. She had spent most of her time on this painting, pouring her emotions through every brushstroke. When the painting was fully opened, a gasp escaped Gloria's lips. Gloria's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, this painting is beautiful," Gloria
