CHAPTER NINETY-ONE ASHER’S POV I didn’t know what I was supposed to tell Charles, but I could see the pain in his eyes. He was fed up with the treatment his father was giving him, and I guess he was trying to stand on his own, but that meant that something bad was about to happen. “What are you up to, Charles?” I asked with a suspicious look in my eyes. I knew when someone was tired of a situation and was ready to get out of it no matter what it was going to cost. “This isn’t what you are supposed to say to me, Asher. All I need is for you to agree to help me do this. Remember that I am doing you a favor now, you have to help me. You really have to.” He was right, he deserved to be reciprocated for giving me such an opportunity on a platter, but the desperation I saw in his eyes made me skeptical. “Let’s say that I agree to help you, Charles. What are your plans for? I mean, how do you intend to go about this? The last time I checked you told me that you didn’t have enough money

CHAPTER NINETY-THREE CASPIAN’S POV Pamela kept a sinister smile on her face. I couldn’t imagine the kind of person she was. So much for picking random girls and sleeping with them, thinking that it wasn’t going to haunt you in the future. “At that moment, flashes of my past life appeared briefly in front of me, and it seemed like the remorse that cringed me wasn’t ready to let go.” “You don’t want to know what I am capable of doing, Caspian. Imagine what would happen if she found out that you are the reason why her son was abducted. I just have to ask some of my clients for a favor, and boom!” She laughed so loudly that I had to bend my face in embarrassment. But that didn’t mean that I was going to overlook what she said. She had given me a reason to be wary of her, and I wasn’t going to overlook the threats on Will. “That boy has nothing to do with this, Pamela. This is between you and me, and it stays that way.” My face showed intense seriousness, but Pamela wasn’t ready to b

CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE HARPER’S POV Caspian came back the previous night looking very exhausted and with a lot going through his mind. He didn’t even touch the food I left for him on the dining table. Will got very tired of waiting for him, and he had to go to sleep after about an hour, feeling so sad that he didn’t get to be read his new bedtime story. I offered to read the story to him, but it appeared that he preferred Caspian’ voice to mine, and I didn’t even know if that was supposed to be a good thing or not. Caspian and I had been in a silent war. None of us spoke to the other, but I knew surely that we wanted to talk to each other. Maybe we didn’t know where to start, or maybe we were not yet ready for that conversation. But the point was that there was a need for us to talk about everything that had happened, especially the one with Fred. I was so distracted by the thoughts that occupied my mind that day at work. But I was lucky that I didn’t have so much to do. Fred ma

CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN HARPER’S POV I spent the remaining time at work making a few adjustments on the deal to accommodate the new company even though we didn’t know what to expect. I just continued praying that I was not going to have a difficult time working with them. Fred looked really pissed off, but that didn’t stop him from waiting for me to close from work so that he could offer to drop me home. I spent a few more minutes just to finish up since Charles mentioned that they could be coming to see us the next day. I wasn’t even reminded about the supposed lunch date he offered to take me on the next day. “There you are! I thought you were going to spend the entire day in there.” Fred had a smile on his face while he was standing outside the main entrance to the building. It was as if he had totally forgotten that we had a pressing issue that we needed to tackle. Or maybe he felt that things were not going to get out of hand since I was going to be in charge. If only he knew

CHAPTER NINETY-NINE ASHER’S POV Finally, it was time to seal the deal between our company and that of MR.. Lucas. I was so excited that I didn’t even care about Sylvia’s new silence. She had become so quiet in an attempt to show me that she was pissed off at me, but that didn’t really bother me. I was finally getting what I had always wanted, and I figured that she was going to come around once everything was settled. “I see that you are eager to embark on this journey with us, MR..Asher.” MR.. Lucas said, handing me the documents containing all the details of the contract. “Well, it’s an honor doing this with you, MR.. Lucas. I am sure that we will have an amazing time.” I quickly signed the deal a few seconds before Charles walked into the living room. “There you are, Charles. I was wondering if you had gone to spend more money like you always do.” Lucas was never tired of saying derogatory things to his son, but it seemed like Charles was already used to it. I didn’t really
