The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

The next morning.. Asher sat before the long dining table staring into space. Before him was a white cup of coffee which had steam oozing out of it. He sat there in pure silence while his mind spiralled and traveled across the events that have been going on in his personal life. He strived so hard to take down Ryan Reynold after harboring hatred against the old man for years. He hated the fact that he allowed his own granddaughter to get everything while he was left with nothing but suffering and hate. But all that changed the moment he found his way into Olivia's heart. Even though she grew up in wealth she still craved to be loved. He used that to his advantage, courted her, made her fall in love with him and dumped her. She must have been heartbroken and devastated by his actions. And he should have been happy that he finally got what he wanted but here he was sitting before a table in a lonely house drinking black coffee. “Darn it.” He cussed and picked up the cup of coffee

“You've been moody since you returned. How did your meeting with Asher go?” Stella questioned as she walked into the dark room. She ran her hand on the wall in search of the light switch and when she did, she turned it on to illuminate the dark room. Although it was still noon, it was still dark in their new room. They were currently staying over at a friend's house for the meantime. And only the little basement was available with a little window. Fred sat on an old wooden chair. On one hand was a glass of whiskey and next to his feet was half a bottle of the whiskey. “Say something, Fred. You're making me scared.” Stella urged once more. “We are screwed, Stella. Asher Adams is the son of the late Nicholas Adams and Gracie Adams. The same couple who died along with Olivia's parents.” Fred announced and brought the glass to his lips once more taking a full gulp. Stella brought both palms to her lips in shock. She walked closer to her husband and snatched the glass from his h

Meanwhile.. Alice bit on her nails. Her face clouded with worry as she was busy checking outside the window every now and then. In the room with her was a young man on a black face cap. He was busy fixing something on the flower vase at a distance. “How long is this going to take? My cousin will be here any minute.” The young man looked at her briefly over his shoulders. “I'm going as fast as I can. Setting up wireless cameras like this takes time.” Alice sighed and turned away in distress. Her hand went to her temple. She needed the work done as soon as possible so that he can get the fuck out of Olivia's place before she comes back. “Whatever, hurry up!” The job went on for another twenty minutes but this time, the young man was in a different location in the room. “This is taking forever—” “If you think that you can do this faster then come over here and get it done!” He finally snapped at her. He stood up to his feet and cracked his knuckles. “I'm done installing

“Fred, he's gone!”Stella's finger shook as she pointed to the spot where Brian was laying lifeless earlier. Her eyes went wide out of fear and her lips hung open in disbelief.“What?! How the fuck did a dead man move from here?” He questioned. Fred's heart pounded, he turned to the stairs and took off to the living room in search of his pregnant wife. Two minutes into his search and yells to her name, he received silence in return. He came across the window directly facing the driveway and noticed that Brian's car was no longer parked in front of the building. Not too long, Stella joined him panting slightly. Her eyes frantically searched the room for any plain sight of the couples but they were nowhere in sight. “Where is she? Could she have taken him?” Stella asked. Her chest pounded and sweat began forming on her forehead. They needed to get to Brian first before he spills everything that he knows about them and their plans. He overheard their conversation earlier which clea

“Could he be in trouble? Or did Aiden punch him too hard?” She thought aloud. “What was that?” Jade questioned right away. Her brows were slightly raised. Olivia cleared her throat after snapping out of her daze. She sat up and shook her head gently, going back to read the file open before her. “Uhm.. it's nothing. I just—” Her words slurred and her gaze trailed off to the distance where a familiar figure stood just right outside her door. Olivia's heart skipped a beat, he looked finer than she had imagined. Confused about her boss's behavior, Jade followed Olivia's line of sight only to notice Asher standing outside. She stared back and forth between the two who were still locked in an eye contact. They didn't utter a word but she could see the different emotions running through their eyes and it troubled her greatly. History was not going to repeat itself under her gaze. Jade's grip on the tablet in her hands tightened. This sight troubled her greatly. She moved her seat b
