CHAPTER 145
Asher's gaze was piercing, hinting at a fury on the verge of eruption. After finalizing his wedding plans with Alicia, set for two weeks from now, he knew he had to resolve the scandal surrounding her. He needed to clear his fiancée's name in the public eye. Without delay, he contacted Joseph—his cold tone leaving no room for refusal. He demanded the truth behind the photo. Moreover, he instructed Joseph to dig deeper—into Kaylery. Yet, before his anger could subside, another blow struck. A logistics issue shook the company. Not only was Asher taken aback—even Aberon was stunned. The entire executive team gathered with tense faces, discussing Dixon's shipment to a neighboring country. A question hung in the air: how could their product cause such a problem that it involved international police? "Sir, disaster!" A staff member burst in, his face pale. "There's dangerous contraband inside our product. The logistics team ... they've been detained. You need to intervene immediately
CHAPTER 144
Soft music thumped in the background, and dim lights hung low in the private lounge owned by Waldric. The air was filled with the scent of alcohol mixed with expensive perfume. A model laughed loudly on the sofa while sipping a nearly spilling pink drink, while at the end of the room, Waldric sat relaxed, his jacket open, tie loose, and expression satisfied.He raised his glass toward Kaylery, who sat across from him, his smile wide, almost like a child who had just received an expensive toy."I can't believe it was this simple. You saw it yourself, didn't you? These models... wild, full of energy, and most importantly—profitable."Kaylery responded with a slight nod, sipping his drink, not saying much, just a subtle smile. He preferred watching Waldric puff out his chest, like a big boss who had just won something."I should have done this earlier," Waldric continued, chuckling while swirling his glass. "That drug... amazing. They become more... appealing on camera. More confident. T
CHAPTER 143
Asher stared at his laptop screen without truly reading. His mind was overwhelmed. The wall clock showed it was nearly nine in the evening. The office was quiet, with only the sound of the air conditioner and the rustling of papers from Kailos, who remained faithfully standing beside the desk.The issues with the former Alexander company's branch had nearly driven him mad that day. Overlapping reports, unsynchronized logistics distribution, and an old system not yet fully integrated. He had contacted the branch head in Detroit earlier that afternoon, his tone flat, though his eyes betrayed fatigue.After filing away the last document, Asher leaned back in his chair. He exhaled deeply. His back felt heavy—as if the weight of the company clung to it, refusing to let go."A report from Dixon just came in; I'll place it here," Kailos said, setting a thin folder on Asher's desk. "There's also a request from the hotel branches to recheck their purchasing systems."Asher nodded, opening the
CHAPTER 142
Alicia remained silent, her eyes locked onto the man's gaze before her. There was something in Asher's eyes that laid bare her thoughts, as if reading her heart without needing to ask. And she knew, there was no point in lying about her feelings anymore.They sat so close, silence enveloping the room. Until finally, Asher let out a small sigh and leaned in closer. “I couldn't wait to start a life with you.”His voice was calm, yet filled with determination. “In a week, there would be a family meeting to discuss our wedding.”Alicia froze. Her fingers intertwined, her head bowed slowly as if trying to hide the turmoil within her chest.“Asher….” Her voice was faint, almost a whisper. “Would your parents… still accept me?”Asher immediately rose from his seat, then moved to sit beside Alicia. His movements were gentle, calm, full of control as always. But now, his gaze had tr
CHAPTER 141
Somewhere else, Kaylery’s laughter echoed within his private room. The tone of satisfaction and victory was unmistakable.On the television screen, Aldric Pervaz’s face was displayed prominently—embroiled in a scandal that had now become public consumption."Look at you now, Aldric," Kaylery murmured, his eyes narrowing with mockery. "It was so easy to ruin your reputation."He leaned back on the sofa, swirling a glass of vodka in his hand. The long-held grudge inside him felt slightly avenged.Once, Aldric had rejected him. Considered him unworthy as a son-in-law. Not someone fit to stand beside Alicia. And now? The great name of Pervaz was being torn apart by the media.And Alicia… Yes, Alicia was still by Asher’s side. Kaylery clenched his jaw at the thought of it. Worse, when he had casually checked the surroundings of her apartment, he had been furious to discover that Asher had stayed the night there. His eyes gleamed with obsession."Now, all that’s left is taking Alicia from A
CHAPTER 140
Alicia tossed and turned in bed, frustrated by her inability to sleep soundly throughout the night. It wasn’t because of the worries about her family. It wasn’t because of the news circulating about her father.It was because of someone.Asher. The image of that man filled her thoughts—his teasing smile, his sharp gaze that seemed to read her mind, and the fleeting touch at the corner of her lips last night.Honestly, Asher had begun to occupy a part of her heart. Alicia took a deep breath before finally rising from the bed. She had changed into her satin nightgown the night before, brushing aside her messy hair as she walked toward the kitchen, hoping that a cup of coffee would help calm her thoughts.However, her steps halted when she saw something—or rather, someone—that wasn’t supposed to be there.Asher. The man was standing in her kitchen, cooking.Alicia’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Asher?” Her voice sounded unsure as if she was trying to confirm whether she was dreaming or no
