All Chapters of Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Nicole was crazily nervous about going back to work once the weekend ended. Her heart continued to palpitate in her chest despite all of her efforts to remain calm.What if news had somehow spread and Marcus had managed to tell horrible lies about her? What if, once she got to work, everything turned into the familiar nightmare of whispers and harsh, undeserving glares just like it happened back in the main company?Worse, what if Marcus had somehow managed to sweet talk or charm his way out of the police station? Even if she fires him, which was within her jurisdiction to do, Nicole knew that she would not be able to avoid him.As if William could hear her thoughts, he stopped buttoning his shirt and gently grabbed her shoulders instead.“Look at me, baby,” he said softly. Nicole met his gaze with a sigh. “Good girl. Now repeat after me. I have nothing to worry about.”Nicole rolled her eyes at his instructi

“Did you do it?” William asked his brother as soon as Wilson walked in. Wilson raised his eyebrows at his tense twin, but said nothing. Instead, he sat down and took a long sip of his coffee before he responded. “William, you do realise that I have been running around all weekend because of you, right? The least you can do is let me have my coffee in peace before asking me any question.”William ran a hand through his hair sheepishly. “You are right. I am so sorry. I don’t know why I am this tense. I just… Nicole was so scared this morning on her way to work. She was so anxious and I hated it. So I just need to know that that bastard has been put away. My baby needs some good news to cheer her up.”Wilson shook his head. “People in love are so annoying,” he muttered, audible enough for his brother to hear, before he leaned back on his chair. “Sit down, take a sip of my coffee and calm down. Then I will talk.” William was high strung wi

Zara looked up with surprise when Asher knocked on the bedroom door and walked in. She hadn't heard him come in, and had no idea how long he had been in the house. He had been gone for about two weeks since the company incident, and Asher had not made even the tiniest effort to reach out to her. Zara said nothing as he walked towards her, his face clean shaven and betraying nothing of his thoughts. He looked well rested, and there was no sign that anything had been wrong with him for the past few days. “Hi, love,” he started as he stopped at the edge of the bed. Zara cocked her head to the side and refused to speak. What the hell was she supposed to say? What the hell was he expecting her to say?That she was mad at him for leaving her high and dry? That she hated him for consistently cheating on her with a woman she knew? That she…Before she could finish her train of thought though, Asher moved. To Zara

“You were absolutely brilliant, my darling. I am so fucking proud of you,” Trisha said on the other end of the phone. Her heart was bursting with love for Asher, and even though he could not see her, Asher had no trouble envisioning how radiant she looked. The plan to take the credit for all the work Zara had been doing for the past two weeks was Trisha’s. After she asked him if he loved her, Asher had immediately wanted to say no. But then he thought about it, and realised that he actually really did love her. Who wouldn’t, he mused?“Thank you, baby. You are the mastermind, after all. It was a brilliant plan. I had no idea why I never thought of it.”Trisha almost cackled with glee at his words. Of course it was a brilliant plan. She knew it was a beautiful, humiliating way to teach Zara a lesson, especially after the woman had had the guts to give Trisha a warning about taking Asher back. “You are welcome, Asher. You are the head of

Zara was crashing out. The realisation that Asher was going to dump her the way he dumped Nicole scared her more than she wanted to admit. No matter how much she thought about it, it was unfair to her. It was unfair that he was just going to let her go after everything she had done for him. Just because he found a new woman. Anger warred with panic in her chest, and she could not sleep. How could she, when her beautiful, luxurious life, was about to be taken from her?No. She had to fight back. She had to do something. She would not go down without a fight the way Nicole did. The company belonged to them both. She was his wife for fuck’s sake. They both had a claim to it. Determination surged in her bones as she sat up. It was midnight, and she was all alone at home. Asher had left the company almost immediately after he said all those horrible words to her, and Zara knew where he was.With his mistress.
