DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 22 - New Path
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
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 23 - the letter
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
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 24
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
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 25 - inappropriate behaviour
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
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 26 - Lionel's downfall
“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.”
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 27
Lionel was still confident his men would bring down Asher. Is that even possible? “You are just one man, we have got numbers.”. Lionel said, his voice laced with venom.Asher titled his head, “Numbers aren’t always an advantage. Sometimes, they are just more bodies to be disposed of.” The men rushed forward to attack, knowing they had a reward waiting for them if they should take the man down. Asher moved like lightning; the men didn’t see him; his blood burned within him, his limbs moved faster than humans, his vision sharper, and his instincts like an apex predator.Blood smeared across the room, Asher didn’t just punch the men, but he punished them; ribs shattered, eyes gouged. The room turned from a normal suite to a slaughterhouse. Screams echoed, then fell silent, one by one. Soon the floor was littered with broken bodies, moaning and bleeding. Twisted in unnatural angles.Only Lionel stood, his pants wet from an irritating substance. His body trembled in fear; he had just
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 28 - Edward's credit
“You are safe Ms, Emily. I was asked by my boss to bring you home.” “Your boss, who is he?” She asked.Asher’s warning echoed In Vandy’s mind; he wouldn’t want to mess up on his first task. “You will get to know soon.”He stepped out of the car and helped Emily to the entrance of her apartment. Just as the door opened, Mrs. Deborah rushed out, she was shocked to see her daughter in such a state.“What happened to her?” She asked. “Emily, are you okay?”Emily was placed on the couch, she lay there quietly with a pale face. “What happened to my daughter?” Mrs. Deborah asked.“Ma’am, it’s a long story, but don’t worry. She will be fine. My boss asked me to bring her home so she could get some rest.” Vandy responded, not wanting to go into full details. Without further ado, he left the room. Mrs. Deborah was in a perplexed mood. She hurriedly dialled the doctor’s number and then Edward’s number. A few moments later, after the doctor left, Edward ambled into the room to find Emily sit
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 29 - commission
After Asher left the hotel, he went home to freshen up before heading out in his Honda Hybrid. He made sure to find a suitable location to discuss business with Samuel Hughes.A few minutes later, Samuel joined Asher in his car. The man was expecting Asher to discuss business in a nice environment and wasn’t expecting their discussion to end up in a car. “Mr. Asher,” Samuel said with a grin. “I came immediately I saw your text message.” Asher nodded slightly, offering him a smile. “How have you been managing other businesses.”Samuel gave Asher a short laugh, seeing that Asher didn’t smile. He composed himself and mouthed softly. “it’s been going smoothly, the returns are starting to sing.”Asher had done his research on Samuel, he knew everything about the man seated beside him. He was aggressive and sometimes reckless, but there was no denying the man knew how to make money when the tide was right.“I like people who think ahead, which brings us to why we’re here,” Asher uttered.

“I want them to give me more time to gather their money,” she replied. Asher shook his head, this wasn’t the kind of reply he had anticipated. He wanted something brutal, something that would make the men beg for their lives.He saw the woman as someone who was scared and peaceful, but to Asher, there was no peace for the wicked.Jake and his men were wondering how Asher got to know Vandy. Their hearts beat in fear, the new underground boss wasn’t someone they would want to piss off. “Vandy, Do you know the lady?” Jake asked with a low and shaky voice.Vandy let out a mischievous smirk, “Must I know her before I help her. She is related to Mr. Mancini and whoever is related to Mr. Mancini is also my relative.” Asher raised his brow, as he smiled at Vandy’s words. That was an interesting line.Jake’s body trembled in fear; he knew he had gotten himself into something serious. He couldn’t believe Angela had someone like Asher to defend her. If he had known, he wouldn’t have treated h
Chapter 39 - Jake's pain
Jake gripped Angela’s hair, she wince in pain. “Where do you think you are going without paying off your debts.”Asher’s movement was fast, he kicked Jake’s hand. With just a kick?, Jake’s hand broke, and he groaned bitterly.His men gaped in shock, as they witnessed the incident. Their heart boiled in hatred for Asher. “How dare you? I can see you are here to challenge!” One of the men said as his face reddened.Asher was annoyed, “You should all leave now, and never return.”“Who are you to tell us what to do.” Another man shouted. “You have three seconds to go on your knees and apologize to my boss before we cripple you.” Asher frowned, “Don’t piss me off today! 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. They couldn’t understand why a young man like Asher would want to sign his death with his hand. “You should never have come here. This was none of your busine
CHAPTER 38 - STEPPING DOWN AS CEO
Mrs Loveth ignored his pleas, “Go gather your stuff; my decision is final. James will take over, make sure you assign all necessary documents to him.”His face was drained of all colour, and A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at his brother, James. “Thank you, mom. 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. He couldn’t stand the shame any more, he angrily walked out of the room.Outside, he met an old lady, who happens to work for his mother. Upon seeing her he stiffen
Chapter 37 - Maybe It’s Karma?
Emily paced back and forth, with her mind pounding, as she kept wondering how would Mr. Mancini cancel the deal suddenly. Something seemed amiss; her mind raced through several thoughts.“Could Asher have a hand in this? Is he the Mr. Mancini?” She thought.Emily stared around in confusion, she grabbed her phone. 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. Asher was the last person who left the office, and she remembered him threatening to report to Mr Mancini. “I still can’t believe you; wha
Chapter 36 - No Longer A Shareholder
Asher remained indifferent, “I came because your fiancé owe me, and didn’t keep to his word.” He uttered, “What kind of a man is he? Is this the kind of man you want to spend the rest of your life with? Someone who can’t stand on his words,”Edward was infuriated by Asher’s words, he wasn’t going to take that not in his office.“Asher, or whatever you are been called. I am giving you five minutes to get out of my sight or else I will call the cops.”Emily chimed in, he face flushed in disdain, “You heard him, get out. And don’t ruin our day. We are expecting someone, we wouldn’t like your presence to destroy our moment.”Asher smirked, “I will not, but the makeover on your face would definitely ruin it.” He said, with his eyes lingering from left to right. “Did you check the mirror before coming out, you look like a chihuahua.”I guess she didn’t?She was in a hurry, and failed to look at her mirror. Edward glanced and her, he shook his head for her to ignore his remarks.Emily gritt
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
Chapter 34 - made millions from sales
Douglas Lewis pushed the woman, as he ran away. Leaving Silvia rushing behind him.Asher sighed in relief, knowing they didn’t create a scene like Edward and Emily. He was satisfied. He had taught them a lesson. He wasn’t the old Asher who would keep mute and allow others to have their way. 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. Asher’s gaze met with Mia’s cold stare. He smiled as he retrieved the Aeloria gold necklace. Mia’s eyes widened, as her mind

She bawled, “Edward was right, people like you’re not supposed to be here. If I were you I would take that money and leave her, don’t even try purchasing a necklace with it, because you might end up broke, take the money and start a new life. My boss, Ms. Olivia, has a high taste when it comes to men, and you are not even an itch close to her standard of men.”He thought Mia was polite and calm, like her boss, but the young lady was far different. She is digging her grave.Asher frowned, “Did you miss your medication? Have you gone nut.”Mia’s face flushed in anger, “If there is anyone to ask, it should be you. So, it’s true. You go about acting nice to rich women just to get something from them. Your mission here has failed because I am not going to let you reap Olivia.”Asher’s face turned red, “I didn’t ask for anything, you don’t have to worry. I will return the card, a hundred thousand can’t afford me the things I need.”She rolled her eyes at him in disgust, pointing her right f
Chapter 32 - Opening Speech
Edward’s hands curled into a fist at his sides, his body vibrating with barely restrained rage. Did Asher send him the invitation just to humiliate him?Emily took a slow step back as if physically distancing herself from what was happening.The guests were furious with Edward, they kept throwing angry comments at him. Edward felt embarrassed, but he refused to back off so easily; he thought of how to get away. “Mr. Owen, you know we are family friends. You should have told me you were sending an invitation to me through him and not this way.” He turned around, trying to hide his frustration. “Everyone, Mr. Owen forgot to say it, but I believe he gave Asher the invitation directly to send it over to me, and the young man just misinterpreted the gesture and thought it was for him.”Was He that shameless?Asher’s gaze was icy, his expression was unreadable. “I didn’t send any invitations to you because I hated you and your family. Your family is never to be trusted, just some bunch
