Asher’s Redemption Chapter 1
The last thing I needed today was to be ten minutes late for one of the most important meetings of my career. Melody was having a bad day today, hence I had to take extra time and patience with her. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather be late to a million meetings than disregard my daughter’s emotions, but why was it today of all days, I wondered as I drove through the roads of New York like a half-crazed woman. Luckily, Anna, my assistant, had called to inform me that my soon-to-be business partner was running late as well, so my only goal was to get to the office before they did. I will not look incompetent. The force of something hitting my brand-new Tesla lunges me a bit forward. I shut my eyes hoping this is all some cruel joke. I stepped out of my car to see the car that had hit me and assess the damage to mine. “Are you serious right now? I just got this car” I groaned, it was a limo. Great, I’m sure the driver would be rich enough to fix my bumper. I walked over to the car. The
Asher’s Redemption Chapter 2
Anna was waiting for me at the entrance of the building like she always does because she always prefers running through the activities of the day with me as we walked back to the office. I took a deep breath as I stepped out of my car. The rest of the drive to the office was enough for me to get back a bit of my composure. I learned six years ago that no one should ever see you weak, it’s eat or be eaten.“Good morning Miss Norman”“Morning Anna. Let me have the activities for the day”, I said immediately.“Our first activity is the meeting with MIX Fashion Wear which has now been rescheduled to eleven am due to unforeseen circumstances.”I looked at my watch, it was fifteen minutes past ten, and I still had a while to fully get myself together before the expected guests arrived.“After that, we have a two-hour meeting with Vogue magazine for a little run-down of what to expect from the interview for next week on Saturday.”We got to the elevator and I pushed the button to go straight
Asher’s Redemption Chapter 3
“Are you going to keep making out with the door? Are you going to face me? You've been running long enough”, Asher demanded.I turned around, he sat comfortably in my chair as he played with the name plaque on my table, running his hands through my new identity.“How did you get here?” I asked as sternly as possible, fully knowing my voice is failing me.“It is of no importance.”“It is to me,” I scoffed.“You went so far… so far, you know that, right?”“Oh please…” I started. But he cuts me off“I looked for you like a madman, I looked for you, I thought you had died or something. You just vanished. You and your mom. Like you never existed”“Stop” I snapped, but his eyes narrowed with anger.“What the heck happened?! We had plans!”“Did we? I don't think so… Asher don't bull sh*t me right now” I answered, rage filled me as I recalled the day I ran away, everything I knew that he didn't know that I knew. Everything I had been told.He stood up now and walked over to me, stalking me as
Asher’s Redemption Chapter 4
It's been a week since my stay in Asher's penthouse, a big mistake that will never repeat itself, and he has called me a little over fifty times since then. I know that because an unknown number had been blowing up my phone all week. The contract had been signed, so there was no point in engaging in pointless things like calling each other, it would only lead to more complications… with what went down last week. It is obvious that I should stay away from him as much as possible. Besides, if he has something of the utmost importance to tell me, he can relay it to me through my assistant.I've been telling this to myself all week since he started calling. I'm sure it's because I left his penthouse bright and early without saying goodbye. no doubt he is pissed off about it. Things are better off this way. At least I had things to keep me busy for the day. I had to shoot a campaign for the upcoming brand collaboration release between Canary and MIX. I got his first text.Unknown: I've bee
Asher’s Redemption CHAPTER 5
The last time I had seen Asher’s father was about four years ago on the day I graduated from college, he didn't say anything to me but I saw him stalking me from the crowd reminding me of the promise I had made. I tried to remain as calm as possible as I stared at him while he made himself comfortable on the sofa opposite me.“When was the last time I saw you? four… five years ago?” He scoffed as he looked around my office with a look in his eyes- as if he was judging, no one had to tell me he was.“Are you trying to make small talk Mr. Stone? I imagine you are a busy man so let's cut to the chase. what do you want?” I asked as I crossed my legs, his eyebrows rose in surprise.“You’ve grown bolder”“I refuse to let your family ridicule me again” I finalized, he nodded with a smirk that irked me… why did Asher have to look so much like him? It makes it so hard to hate him the way I want.“I only did what was best for my family”I scoffed.“And it was the best for me too” I added before
Asher’s Redemption CHAPTER 6
All of a sudden Asher decided to leave the picking of the models to me, everything… saying he trusted my judgment. yeah right- like he didn't threaten me a few days ago. the moment I saw him outside my door I realized he just did that because I was letting him see Melodie but I never agreed to him showing up in my home and how on earth did he find my house? I never left my house address on the contract “Let him in” I responded to the security guard. why was he here? So early in the morning as well. Was he here to threaten me again? Or was he here to finish what we started yesterday? What am I saying? Nothing happened yesterday I was so lost in thought that I hadn't noticed that Melodie come to me and was calling out to me. I shook my head as I felt her light tug on my night dress. “Mummy, someone is ringing the bell” “oh yeah right, sorry honey. why don't you eat your pancakes while they are still hot? I’ll get the door” I hugged myself as I walked down the stairs, I should ha
Asher’s Redemption CHAPTER 7
Those big green and gray eyes would be the end of me soon enough, all I did was leave Melody with Asher in the sitting room while I did some laundry and by the time I got back she was already begging me for permission to go over to Asher’s and I could just “tag along”. It was no rocket science that I lost. I let out a lengthy sigh as I watched Melody and Asher swim in his infinity pool from the lounge chairs, her giggles filled the air as Asher showed her funny new tricks. I wondered how they could swim with the sun as hot as it was, I was under a shade and I felt like I was going to have a heat stroke, I only swam an hour before I decided I was over it… I’d rather guard the refreshments. “Mummy come join us. We want to play tag and only two people would be boring” Melody complained while she floated across the water. “Aren’t you tired already? It’s way past your nap time bean” “Tag first then nap time. You don’t want Mr. Asher thinking you are boring, do you? It’s best we keep it
Asher’s Redemption CHAPTER 8
Transferring to this stupid school filled with stuck-up *ss holes was a huge mistake. What the heck was I thinking? That I’d fit in? That I’d make friends? That I’d live a drama-free life? I was so wrong… so wrong that I hate myself so much right now. I can barely afford lunch and my old tennis shoes were on their last legs while everyone here can afford a more-than-they-can-eat buffet and they have shoes for every week. I don’t fit in here. “Gonzalez wait up” Why… why… why?? “Just f*cking leave me alone!” I yell, increasing my pace. “Come on. Don’t leave” “Why?! What does it matter to you? You are just like the rest of them” “I don’t think that way about you” he turns me effortlessly by my backpack “Sure” “Damn it! I’m serious right now Sam. I think you are the most interesting person I’ve ever met” “You can’t fool me. I won’t become one of your booty calls Stone” I roll my eyes and fold my arms as I stare up at him. his blazer was nowhere to be found, as usual, his uniform
