All Chapters of Taming Asher : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Behind the flowers where I hid, I spotted Mia and Logan. “I told you she knows. She saw us,” Mia was saying. “But I shut her up already, so there’s nothing she can do.” Who were they referring to? “Don’t worry. I know what to do to shut her up permanently,” he said. “I just hate the way she stares at me ever since. She has an innocent appearance, yet acts deadly.” I couldn’t hear the rest of what they said because they moved away. I needed to move on too, though I really wanted to know what they were up to. But first, I needed Grace to tell me what she had managed to get from Xena’s phone. And the earlier, the better. I decided to hurry to the entrance of her class to wait for her. I avoided being seen by the class and stood by a corner of the wall. I hadn’t waited up to five minutes before she showed up with Suzella. She was smiling. She looked very beautiful when she smiled. But her smile vanished the moment she met my gaze. Good. She noticed me then. She must be aware that s

I swallowed hard at first, but I quickly reconsidered. Why was she so interested in my personal affairs, by the way? It was none of her damn business. “Listen, you don’t have any right to snoop on my calls, okay? I owe you nothing,” I snapped, darting off. “Asher, really?!” I heard her call out as I sped away, but of course, I ignored her. Fortunately, I made it just in time to meet them heading to the principal’s office. I was surprised by their number and the new faces. This was ridiculous. Did they actually summon her whole family because of this? I jogged toward them. Matt and Terry, who had been chatting with Xena’s friends, left and joined me. “What the hell is going on?” Matt asked. “Is this how they sue?” I snorted in response, moving closer to the group. My eyes rested on Grace first to make sure she was okay. “What’s going on?” I demanded angrily. “What does it look like?” my aunt retorted sharply. “We are pressing charges, of course.” “No!” I shook my head in ang

Grace's POV I opened my eyes to find myself on the same bed again. It all felt like a stupid dream. My head throbbed as though I was being hit with a hammer as I tried to sit up. “Hey, relax." One of the nurses beside me, urged. "You'll be discharged in less than an hour. I've already administered painkillers for your headache." Right. Good thing she was aware my head ached. “I think she should be discharged now." I heard my aunt's voice and sat up properly. What the hell was she doing here? I frowned as I met her gaze. Regan sat beside her, chewing loudly on a bubble gum. Why did Aunt Cecil think I should be discharged now? Because honestly, I didn’t want to go home. At least, not yet. "Hey, Grace.” Suzella stepped in, looking shy. “You’re awake.” I managed to give her a wan smile. Her brother was such a darling, and Asher was the worst jerk ever. Thanks to Corn, I didn’t hit the floor. Maybe I would have had a split brain or something. I didn't bother asking about him becau

Asher’s POVEarlier that afternoon, after I handed the phone to Suzella and watched her hurry away, I shook my head in wonder at her eccentric manner. Lol.But when I turned around, I found myself face to face with Grace’s uncle.I froze for a moment.Nobody ever likes to see their girl hurt. I remembered how I went hard on anyone who tried to hurt my sister, and my dad was the same. So seeing Grace’s uncle glaring at me, I knew better than to act carelessly.“Hi,” I managed, feeling very uneasy. “I’m… uh… really sorry about what happened. I swear, it won’t happen again.” I paused. “Is she… alright?”He simply stared at me, both hands buried deep in his pockets. “You bully girls, huh?”“No, I don’t. I don’t bully Grace either.”His brows lifted slightly. “Oh yeah?”I fiddled with my car key as my brain struggled to come up with a reasonable, convincing response.“Actually, um… I think I like her. The thing is, I just get on her nerves so she can fight me and show me her superpowers an

The closer the boots came, the faster my heart raced. Wouldn’t Asher do something? “Is there a problem?” I heard Asher ask them. “Mister Thorne wants us to inspect his vehicles. He has an important function to attend tonight.” I almost wet myself right there. No way was I coming here again. I hated myself for dozing off in his car and for even thinking about his large, cozy room. But what normal, tired human wouldn’t fall asleep in such a comfortable ride? If I had been awake, I would have made him drop me off at Suzella’s place. Now I was about to be doomed. I think Xena was done searching, but there was no way I could return to the car without being seen, if the surveillance cameras hadn’t already caught me. “Before you inspect his car, could you kindly check my Porsche first?” I heard Asher say. “I don’t understand the signals it was giving me the last time I checked.” “We already checked it last night,” one of the men replied. “I tried it again this morning. I could have
