Asher’s expression was neutral, “There are no rule that stated who should be here and who shouldn’t. I believe once you have the money, you can be at any auction event to purchase what you find fit for whatever you wish.”

Pablo took a step forward, standing an inch away from Asher. “Listen to me, that plot is mine. I don’t care how much you think you have or how much you have paid. You are no match for me, I am Pablo Zuko. You don’t know anything about handling land like that.” He spat, his words laced with arrogance.

“If I don’t know anything about handling a plot, I know better than to be desperate to secure one,” Asher replied, as his cold gaze met with Pablo’s stern expression.

A smug smile crept onto Pablo’s face, “I will make it easy for you. Write me a number, any number, and I will make sure you are taken care of.” He offered Asher a blank cheque.

The organizers exchanged glances and shifted their gaze towards the scene before them.

    “I warned you but you refused to listen,” Asher replied.The organizers gaped in shock; they could tell from Pablo’s expression that things were not going well. Asher really pulled the string.“Who is he? How did he do that?”Pablo’s hands trembled as he dialled his accountant’s number; he couldn’t press anything on his phone screen. His heart thumped in fear and panic, as he watched Asher with a sly grin.He would be doomed if anything happened to the business.A cold sweat drenched his forehead, as he shivered uncontrollably. “What’s happening?” Pablo asked with a cracked tone. “How can my accounts be frozen?” The accountant responded honestly, “Mr. Pablo, I don’t have any idea. I am sorry there is nothing I can do. Your accounts are under investigation.”He underestimated Asher, he couldn’t tell how it happened but knew the only person who could have done this to him was the nobody he offended.Just when he thought of calling Mark Spencer, a message notification popped above his

    That night, Edward stood by the window of his room gazing downward. His heart raced, not because of the height but because of the call he missed. Lionel’s voice echoed in his mind, cold and menacing. Each word was laced with a venom that sent shivers down his spine. “You have got two days to pay off what you owe, or I will make sure you regret it.” That voice kept ringing in his head. He had heard how Lionel treated people who owed him money, either cutting off their hands or taking something valuable from them. His debts have been stacking up for months, even after the Partnership. He had been unable to recover some money to clear up his debts. Edward’s mind raced, trying to think of something, anything. The thought of his debts was pressing down on him, He knew Lionel’s promise of violence was never an empty threat. He owes him millions of dollars. Lionel had made it clear he wasn’t interested in excuses, the money has to come or Lionel himself would come for him. The call came

    When Edward got to Emily’s apartment, he made his way inside. Emily stepped aside for him as she closed the door before walking towards him.Edward tried his best to mask away the unbearable expression that was gnawing within him.Emily noticed his unimpressive outlook, “Are you okay?” She asked with her voice barely above a whisper.He fainted a smile,” I am fine.” He replied, then plopped on the sofa. His eyes flickered towards Mrs. Deborah. “My precious son-in-law,” Mrs. Deborah said as her lips curled into a smile. “You look handsome as always, I knew you came because you miss my daughter. I am so happy my daughter found someone like you. Someone who couldn’t stay a day without her. I wished my late husband was like you.”“Mom,” Emily called.Edward fainted a smile, “You know I love her so much, she is my everything. A minute without her is like being lost in the desert.”Emily blushed as her dimple was revealed. “When are you two going to get married? I can’t wait to show every

    Emily hesitated, she wasn’t sure about it. Her gaze locked with Edward for a moment. “It’s fine, I will do it. Just let me know the details and what needs to be done.”Edward sighed in relief; he had managed to move past the first stage of his plan, all thanks to Mrs Deborah. She wasn’t as useless as he thought.An evil smirk formed on the side of his lips, but he maintained his composure. “Are you sure you can handle it? I can talk to my friend or Mr Lionel, to shift the meeting to another day.”Emily waved her hand, “I can do it,” Edward pretended like he was contemplating it. Meanwhile, he was happy Emily was going to meet with Mr Lionel.“Thank you, I don’t know what I would have done without you. You’re such a darling,”Emily blushed, her face lit up in excitement. “I will leave tomorrow for my meeting with my friend, while you will meet with Mr. Lionel. I will send you the documents tomorrow morning, as well as the time and venue for the meeting.”Just as Edward left, he took

    When Asher got to the location, he stepped out of his car and made his towards the quiet building. He knocked the moment he located the number of the door. He was not bothered by the eyes peering at him. After a moment of knocking, the door creaked open, and an old woman in a wheelchair peered at him with curious, knowing eyes.Asher glanced behind the woman for any sign of Isabella or his son. “Yes, who are you and how can I assist you?”He exhaled softly, as he tried to control his breath. “I am looking for Isabella, the woman who lives here?”The old woman shifted her face, subtle but telling. She steps aside. Allowing him to come in.Asher found a child's toy sitting by the corner of the room. He could tell he wasn't mistaken. “Where is she?” He asked the woman.“She left a few hours ago and said it was time to go,” she replied.Asher's heart paused, he couldn't fathom how it happened, some moments ago he got informed of her whereabouts and now he got informed she left, “Where

    Emily heaved a sigh of frustration, as she ran her hand over her hair. Her time was ticking, she wouldn’t want to disappoint her mother or Edward. She thought about flagging a cab when she saw someone familiar.Asher, for a moment, considered driving past; she wouldn’t want his help. And truly he wasn’t sure he was willing to help her. But something about her posture, maybe it was the way she looked at him with pitiful eyes, made him take a breath and get out of the car.“You look stranded?” Asher uttered, his voice calm but cautious.Emily was surprised to see her ex-husband driving in a Honda hybrid. She wondered how he got the car, she knew he couldn’t offer anything during their three years of marriage. “I didn’t expect to see you lurking around, Asher,” she said flatly. “I can see you got a new job as a driver. That’s good to see.”Asher smiled, she hadn’t changed. She thought he was a driver when he was the owner of the car. Asher decided to play along.“Engine problem?” he ask

    He gave her a smile, as he moved closer. “Relax, Emily. I am trying to be nice.” Her heart began to pound in fear, two heavy men were standing by the side of the room. Unfazed by the incident unfolding before them.“Mr. Lionel, I am here for a business meeting, not for this. It’s inappropriate.” She replied.He cut her off waving his hand, as his face turned crimson. “We will discuss business; I just want to get to know you.” He let go of her hand, gesturing for her to sit. Emily hesitated, her mind was engrossed in fear. She was in a room with three men. One which had his lustful gaze on her and the two standing like statues by the door.Mr. Lionel snapped his finger, and the guard stepped forward pouring them some wine. He took the glass and sipped from it, without taking his gaze away from Emily.“You can go ahead, I don’t discuss business without you having a sip.” He uttered, as an evil smirk formed by the side of his lips.Emily swallowed hard. She couldn’t tell what was happ

    “Who the hell are you? How dare you bang into my room like that?” He voiced with gritted teeth. “You have got ten seconds to Get out before I call my men to kill you.”Lionel’s face was blazing in fury, and rage. Andrew was unfazed, his eyes darted towards Emily. He could tell she was drugged.“What have you done to her?” He demanded with a firm but sharp tone.“Who do you think you are to question me? Do you know who I am?” Lionel’s face flashed in contempt.His face twisted in dissatisfaction; He was about to have the best moments of his life, and the young just foiled his plans.Lionel immediately recognised Asher, as the same man who thwarted his plans to kidnap Mr. Owen’s children. “You!” Asher met his gaze without flinching, “I don’t care who you are; get out of my way before something bad happens to you.” He warned.“You have a death wish,” Lionel uttered, “You should never have come here; this is none of your business. I can give you another chance to live if you get out.”

I would have called him, but he might be busy, and not like that, I shared it with someone. I wouldn’t trick your family, believe me.” Emily thought about her engagement with Edward, and she trusted him; there was no way he would want to hurt her family.

Apologize to her this instant, and I will make sure I forget about everything that happened here today.”The men exchanged glances as their expressions turned dark.

I will return the family to glory.” James said smoothly.Mrs. Loveth walked out of the room, leaving the two brothers. Edward’s mind was a whirlwind of anger and humiliation, “I knew you had a hand in this; you should be careful. I am coming back to take my position as the CEO.”James let out a small smirk. “You shouldn’t be worried about me; you should be worried about where you are heading. What would people say when they see a former CEO working as an assistant.” Edward frowned, his hand curled into a fist. As his knuckles turned ghostly white.

As she punched in Asher’s number. Just as he answered, “I am going to ask you this just once, What did you do that for?” her anger shot up.“What are you talking about?” Asher responded.“You caused Edward to lose the deal, didn’t you? You were jealous that he has me, and he is doing better than you; that was why you sabotaged the deal?”Asher sniffed, “Emily, what do you take me for? What’s my business with Edward deal. I don’t care about you or him. So why then would I sabotage his deal.”Emily frowned, her eyes were blazing with fury.

  • Chapter 35 - Asher not Mancini

    The following morning, after Asher had finished with his meal. He sat at the desk in his room with the Aeloria Gold necklace laying in front of him. Beside it was the book that came with it. Asher glanced at the leather cover of the book; it was as if it was calling his name.He took a deep breath, as he turned the pages slowly. Asher furrowed his brow in curiosity. He found the first few pages interesting, the book wasn’t just about the necklace but a compendium of ancient herbal medicine, alchemical receipts, and healing techniques. Many used plants he had never heard about, even while he had read other books. The contents in the book were obviously much better than the previous ones he had consumed.Each page was more interesting than the other; Asher was glued to the book, from crushing leaves to treating nerve damage, to another detailed ritual using herb and heat to draw out venom. Seconds turned minutes and minutes became hours, as he kept flipping the pages. He realized

Whoever crosses the line would get whatever they deserve.He took a deep breath, as he glanced at the necklace. Feeling the energy that surged beneath. He called on the sales personnel, “I want this, can you get it wrapped.” The sales personnel nodded with a smile, “Yes, sir. You will need to come with me to make the payment.”Asher trailed behind her, Just after making the payment. Olivia stepped forward. “I can see you have gotten something for yourself?” She uttered, with a curious smile. “What could that be?”“I found something special in your store,” he responded.
