All Chapters of Mine to Take : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Have you enjoyed the game so far?" Lily asked when Asher finally came around to her. For the past hour or so, he has been collecting the hints from the Helps, and he was very quick at figuring out the meaning of the clues. She was surprised at his pace but she understood that if he was able to skyrocket his company to the number 1 spot and has kept it there for years, figuring out the clues to some treasure hunt would be a piece of cake. She smiled and held his gaze, he looked ready to collect the clue and he had an excessive amount of confidence oozing out of him."Well, it's been interesting." Asher answered, smiling. This was the last thing he expected when he got her text, but it's the best thing he's come home to in a long while. When he told her everything the previous night, he didn't expect anything out of it, but she went out of her way to surprise him and make him happy. He didn't know what to make of it, and now that he stared at her smiling face, he couldn't help but won

"What are you doing here, Charlotte? Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?" Charlotte smirked while she walked in and took a seat beside Christopher, who now wore a guilty look on his face. Asher arched a brow, his eyes darting between the both of them as he tried to figure out what was going on. "Oh..." He whispered, clenching his jaw. "Why did you invite her Twig?" Christopher cleared his throat and raised his hands in surrender. "I didn't know things had changed between you two in my defense. I only heard she was back and thought maybe you'd like to see her or something. "" Well, too bad. " Asher said, standing to his feet. "I'll have to retire for the night. I've got a wife waiting for me at home, and I've got a busy day tomorrow. " As he tried to walk away, Charlotte immediately reached out and held his hand. " You don't have to put up this act, Ash. There's no one but us here, and aren't you grateful that despite my condition, I still came around to see you? "He immedia

"I'm not going to do it." Lily said, and her hands balled into fists, her fingers digging into her palms. Mr Morgan stopped in his tracks and glared at her. "What did you just say?" She gulped, blinking to keep the tears from falling. "I said I'm not going to do it." In a flash, Mr Morgan's hand was wrapped tightly against her neck, and her eyes widened as she struggled to take a breath, hitting his hand desperately, but he just tightened his grip. "In the five years that you've been married to him, what has this family gained from it !? You are just an ungrateful greedy animal" He let go of her suddenly, pushing her to the floor. The tears that Lily was desperately trying to hold in now slowly trailed down her cheeks, her hand encircled around her neck softly while she coughed hysterically. "You're going to do as I have said, Lily. Charlotte, unlike you, has a functioning brain and knows exactly what to do where she has been sent! Is that clear?" Lily's eyes found her mother's a

A smile slowly formed on Asher's face as he dragged his eyes away from the envelope. "You are awake." A forced smile appeared on Lily's and she quickly hid the envelope behind her. She cleared her throat and nodded. "Ye-yeah. I woke up a while ago." He smiled and nodded, and walked over to her. "Does your head feel like it was run over?" Lily breathed out a laugh, nodding. "Here," he stretched out his hand, showing her the glass of water and aspirin he had been holding, "I guessed as much." Without looking back, Lily dropped the envelope on the table and took the water and Aspirin from him. "You're such a life saver." Asher smiled and plopped down on the bed. "What can I say? I'm a guardian angel." Lily chuckled, and gulped the water and Aspirin. "Whatever floats your boat." She set the glass down and picked up her bag. "But, thank you so much for last night, I over drank out of stress." He rubbed his lips together, nodding in understanding and she shot him a smile. "Thank you on

A waiter or so Lily thought, came out the next second after Asher asked his question. "Welcome on board, Mr and Miss Allard. I'll be your guide for the day, a lot of activities have been prepared in anticipation for your day here. "Lily glanced at Asher with a grin, before turning back to the waiter. "We look forward to it." She tried to keep her voice calm, but the excitement bubbling inside of her seeped into her tone, and Asher breathed out a laugh. "How cute" "Did you say something?" He arched a brow and pointed at himself, before he quickly shook his head. "Nothing at all." He glanced at their guide who was staring at them with a renewed interest, and immediately cleared his throat. "Why don't we go ahead? The day is fast running out." The guide picked up the hint quickly and nodded. "True. Come on, I'll show you the rooms where you can get into something more comfortable and befitting for our trip ahead." He led them to the different rooms, which were just directly opposit
