CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE HARPER’S POV Asher continued moving until he was about two steps away from me. He stopped and looked at me with a frown. “You think you can disrespect me because you are the Princess of the Lycan City. What you did was very insolent.” “CEO Asher? I think you need to calm down, okay? This is not the reason why we are here. We are here to talk about the project we are to embark on.” “To hell with the project!” Asher barked at once, and I had to take down my hands which I had lifted in order to gesture to him to calm down. “You need to calm down or I will be forced to call security.” He warned, but he refused to budge. My words were not strong enough to move him. “This is going to be a long day.” I whispered to myself, taking in a deep breath which I let out slowly. It was finally time for me to take charge of the situation. I wasn’t going to let him bully me like he used to in the past. “Enough of this, Asher!” I pushed him backward, causing him to open

TER HUNDRED AND THREEHARPER’S POV While I kept Charles in suspense, I thought about everything I was going to say to him and how I was going to present them. I had only one chance, and I was not going to mess it up. “It seems you and Asher are friends.” I started on a good foundation, hoping that he was going to follow up without being secretive. “How do you know that? Did he tell you anything?” Charles asked, and I smiled at once. I could tell that was really interested in what I was saying to him, and that was all I needed to continue with my questions. “CEO Asher and I didn’t discuss any other things aside from business. He seemed very focused and determined to carry out this project.” “That's good. I am happy to hear that.” Charles reacted to the credit I gave to Asher which he didn’t deserve. “So tell me…” I paused just to be certain that I had gotten his attention before I continued. “How long how have you known each other?” I asked, determined to get an answer from him

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVE CASPER’ POV Asher insisted that we had an impromptu meeting, that was what I had gotten used to ever since I moved to the City. From appointments related to work to those that involved personal situations that I had to deal with. The fact that he said he wanted me to come to his house was even more surprising. He seemed to have something very important to talk about, but I was still skeptical about the meeting. Eventually, I arrived at the address he sent me. It was almost the same mansion as the one I bought, but that Asher said he couldn’t afford to buy such a place when he wasn’t certain of how long he was going to be staying in the City. “Welcome, this way.” Asher was already standing in front of his door when I drove to his place. I could see that he had been expecting me for a while. “You are late.” He said while I was still walking into the building, but I was busy admiring the simple but classy interior of his house. “I am sorry, I had to attend

ASHER’S POV I woke up that morning with thoughts of the previous night’s encounter still lingering in my mind. I wasn’t able to make sense of the fact that Sylvia and Casper were just looking at each other that way because Sylvia thought he looked like someone she knew from our City. I concluded that I was going to find out what was going on between them eventually. I knew that Casper was a womanizer, and it was possible that he had met Sylvia and probably tried to have an affair with her. I got the thought that they could be having an affair, but I reminded myself that Sylvia would never have done such a thing to me. But at the same time, it was Casper who I couldn’t trust. His reputation as a chronic womanizer made me very much afraid of him, and that made me a bit restless. I was about to head out when I received an unexpected call from Charles. I had to answer his call at once, eager to hear what he wanted to say. “Hey, Asher. I have been trying to reach you.” He said from h

HARPER’S POV I kept my eyes on Casper as soon as I realized that he was very nervous. I could see that he was scared of whatever it was that they were talking about. “Tell me what? What’s going on between the two of you? What are you guys hiding?” I became more curious than I had ever been, my impatience growing by the second. Realizing that it was going to be a long night, I dropped my handbag on the couch beside me and walked up to them with my curious expression intact. “Pamela? Go on, tell me what I want to hear.” I folded my arms and took a deep breath while I kept my eyes on Pamela. She seemed very eager to expose whatever secrets they were hiding from me, but Casper was still afraid of what could happen. I could have sworn that I caught him giving her a sign not to say anything, but she ignored him completely and focused her attention on me. “Diana? You must be very tired. Why don’t you go in and have some rest? I will make you something to eat.” “No, Casper! Don’t do t
