CH ~ 0061 THE TEXT
But now, the message was carved into their bones.. Their little nephew was untouchable. And crossing him would cost them everything.“Uncle Lewis! Uncle Lewis!” Byron stood abruptly, shouting an elder's name with so much pain on his face.“What is it, son.. give me a second.” The old man gently walked down from the stairs to meet Byron's piercing gaze.“What did you do? How could you get members of the Wilson empire to gang up against me?” He shouted, clenching his jaw with bitterness.“Don't you dare blame me for your misfortune. I didn't do anything!”“Of course you did… why else will Lieutenant Burrows and half of the Empire warn me this much?” Byron shot back.“You think my brother's grandson is an idiot? After showing up in his ward where his wife was, even inviting her to a beach party isn't it enough to file a restraining order? Haha! Byron, you are even dumber than I thought.. They know who is in charge, and that's him.. Get ready, because he's going to slap you with the money

“You can have it. Please, forgive him.” Alex placed her phone back to her purse with a warm smile. “It's alright. We will get going.” They hugged Ashanti one after the other before exiting the door.“You shouldn't have… plus, you can't go out with them.” Dexter held her hand softly.“Why can't I? They are my in-laws, what are you so scared about? Like they said, you can always come along.” She said.. though she was sure her family would never dare accompany her..They never liked or acknowledged Dexter as family, talked more of his foster relatives. They wouldn't even listen to her.“I said no.. you can't. You just met, you don't even know who they are.”“I have had it enough with you. It's almost as if I don't know you anymore. You now talk harshly to people, you're so rude, you treat your very own family like dirt when all they have done was to be nice and caring towards you.” Ashanti dropped the bowl of soup with a disappointed look. She doesn't get it.. why was he rude to his en

Ashanti walked away to get a hot cup of tea. Stirring it, she sighed, “Of course he didn't. I left without him. Why are you so interested? You don't think I'm cheating, are you?”Dexter shook his head immediately. “No..not at all.” How could he bring himself to tell her he was asking all these questions because he had a hunch that his cousin saw him on the day he came to pick her from work?Only, her words proved him wrong. If she had confirmed that he followed her out, that means, Ethan saw them together and must have swung into action to get rid of him along with his father.. and his suspicion would have been right.But since she said he didn't, then he has no reason to add Ethan to his list of suspects who tried to kill him.“Then stop asking and try to get better.” She stretched the hot tea to Dexter and he reached for it.“So.. tell me.. what's the name of the company you work for?” Just then, Dexter coughed, almost choking on the hot tea he was drinking. “Careful.” Ashanti ru

“Didnt he just call you his nephew? Do you treat people this awfully? He has been nothing but kind to you..” Out of everyone outside the ward when she arrived, he was the nicest. He was even kind enough to give her the address to this place.“How did you know he has been nothing but good to me? You don't know who he is..” He brushes his thumb at the back of her hand, “Can I ask you something?”She sighed, “Sure. I also have loads of questions too.” “You do?” Dexter sat up as though wondering what her question might be since he woke up to her in his ward and his family standing outside.“Yes. First, what happened to you? How did you end up here? We've been married for a month, you never mentioned you had aunts, and even cousins… now your uncle comes to see how you're doing… and you're pushing him and his genuine care away…”“Hold on…you.. you.. you met my family? All...all of them?” Dexter's voice was slow, but his eyes were wide open with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.Ashanti n

Obviously, he couldn't see a thing without them and their voices was all he needed to know that he was in the hospital.“Sure thing, sir.” The doctor said and gently placed Dexter's glasses on his eyes.“How long have I been here?” Dexter asked. The last thing he remembered was being stabbed.“Two days, sir. And your progress is impressive. If it continues like this, you will be discharged sooner than you know. If you need anything, we will be waiting outside.” They bowed their heads and headed out the door.Dexter took a deep breath and got a clearer and brighter view of what the place looked like.He tried to move his hands, but he couldn't. He could feel the warmth radiating from a flesh close to him. It was when he shifted his gaze that he realised someone was also in the room with him.He tried to get a proper look of the person's face, but couldn't since his wounds were still fresh.“Hey.” He said slowly, then the person raised their heads and their eyes met.“Ashanti?”“Dexter?
CH ~ 0055 AWAKE
Kim, Roy and Ivan turned to each other with a smirk as if satisfied by the words from the fearless bodyguards.Ivan's lips curved into the faintest ghost of a smile, not out of arrogance, but because he knew something they didn’t. The young master, the man they all claimed to want to “protect,” had already made it clear: no one touches his wife, no one corners her, no one gets close unless she allows it.An elder, who had been eyeing her with something far darker than curiosity clenched his jaw. “This isn’t over,” he muttered.Ashanti finally spoke, her voice smooth. “Have a nice evening.”And without waiting for an invitation, she moved toward the door. The guards parted just enough to let her through, their eyes still locked on the family like wolves daring anyone to make a wrong move.The door closed behind her, sealing her in with the one man in the world who actually wanted her there. And this act didn't just leave the rest of the family stewing in their own frustration, the soun
