Semua Bab Taming Asher : Bab 11 - Bab 20

What Regan showed me was a video of me undressing in my room that Monday night, the night I met Regan in my room. I didn’t even know which video was worse, hers or the one Asher had threatened me with. I looked up at Regan and she smirked. “You will follow me now and tell me everything going on between you, Asher and Terry. If you don't, I'll leak this video " Was that a threat?“Fine," I murmured.As I got it to my feet, I sighted Suzella. She had come back to look out for me and had a sorry look on her face. As we trailed behind Regan and Lisa sheepishly, Suzella pulled me closer and draped a hand over my shoulder.“Listen to me," she began. “You'll text Asher and tell him what's going on. He has to help you. I'm sure one word from him would stop your cousin's madness." I shook my head with a sigh. But she dug her hand into my pocket and snatched my phone before I could react.“Suzella!" I called, but she had already dashed off.I sighed, resigning to my fate as I followed behind

I glanced at the back door we had come through. There was no way I’d make it back there without being seen. The car was getting closer and slowing down.“What are you guys doing?” Asher whispered urgently. He grabbed my arm, dragged me to his car, and shoved me into the back seat. “Lie flat and stay invisible!” he ordered before slamming the door shut.Lord it was super hot and humid here. I squeezed myself as far down as I could and tried to breathe quietly. I was surprised they even wanted to save me from Xena after everything.I heard the car pull to a stop. Xena stepped out. I guessed she was leaning against Asher’s car near the window because I could hear her clearly.“Why have you been ghosting me?" She demanded heatedly. "Why did you leave school? I heard you were there earlier this morning. I also heard a rumour you were with that sophomore scholarship bitch.”Bitch?"What brings you this way?” Asher replied."I should be asking what you guys are doing here. I didn’t think I w

I quickly pressed the screen against my body, so the light wouldn't reflect. Thankfully, Asher hurried to the curtain, and I let it drop next to the spot where Xena had plugged it earlier. “You dropped it here to plug it back, didn't you?” Asher asked Xena as he picked it up. Now I couldn't tell if he was only acting or was aware it was my handiwork. Whatever. I wasn't caught and it was quite relieving.“I don't think so." Xena sounded confused. “I guess someone stepped on my wristwatch. It's broken." I grinned to myself in pleasure. It's a nobody, dear. Not a someone. “Are you sure?" Asher’s mum asked. “Let me see." She collected it and examined it closely.Hold on. Since I bit hard into it, the trail of my teeth would be visible, right? Oh no. I was always smarter than this. I was going to squash it with my foot, but I thought the noise would only draw attention, so I had to do it the easier way.“I think someone bit it." The woman said. My heart sank.Asher snatched the watc

Honestly, I don't know how we did it. But I believe we must have gained some super powers in that moment. Because Asher shoved me off the bed just as I made a wild leap down, almost crashing my jaw on the ground, and then rolled under the bed. I had barely rolled under the bed as the door opened. Thankfully, I couldn't see the door from the side of the bed where I hid, neither could I be seen. “Asher? Are you okay?" I heard his mum ask. “Won't you prepare for school?" “I…uh, stayed up late. I'll be ready in twenty. Don't worry about me." “Make sure you have breakfast before you go. I'm not pleased you rejected dinner last night." There was a pause. “Why are these game pads on the bed? Who were you playing with last night?" “Xena." “Xena? Xena plays racing games?" Asher forced a chuckle. “I actually thought I could teach her, you know. We sort of made a bet." Brief silence again. "By the way, why did you lock the whole doors? That's very unlike you.” I heard a muff

She gave me a sheepish grin. “Hey, cool it. It's no big deal, stop shouting. I can do it myself anyway." Well, the chemistry teacher walked in just then, and I was forced to keep shut and pay attention. I barely heard anything that was said throughout the class until the bell rang. I grabbed my bag immediately, with right Suzella behind me. We really needed to talk. What actually pissed me off was the fact that Regan and Lisa also followed and refused to get off our backs. “You have to say where you passed the night, Grace." She was saying at the top of her voice with spite. “I know you didn't sleep over at Suzella's." "Yeah, she didn't.” Suzella admitted as we walked out of the class. “It was all my fault. There’s an old woman I work for, so Grace stayed back to help her yesterday and couldn't meet up with time. She had to spend the night there.” I let out a breath of relief. Good Lord, have mercy on my soul for the multiple lies told this morning. Regan let us be then and w
