Asher's mind had been restless since Roxanne’s number became unreachable. He made his phone his closest pal as her stared at it each passing second of the day, thinking he could get lucky.Being out of reach with Roxanne made him loose his mind at some point. because his calls and messages had gone unanswered, something kept whispering to him that everything is not alright with Roxanne.His room became quite uncomfortable for him as he perched from bed to the couch, his fears and worries grew by the day. He just could not concentrate on anything, his mind consumed by the thoughts of Roxanne. Where was she? Was she okay? Why wasn't she answering her calls?Ryder, who had been watching asher's situation escalate from bad to worse, couldn't keep his distance. He ensured his eyes were rightly fixed on Asher. "Asher you need to take it easy okay" he said, his voice low and soothing. "Roxanne's probably just busy with work or her family, you know how this thing is"Asher tried to get a grip

Meanwhile Asher could not think straight Roxanne told him what transpired between herself and her family that led to her sudden decision.He waited patiently that night till the next day, he stood up immediately he checked the time and saw it was 6:00 am, he made sure he was dressing in his usual rag wear.Asher stepped out of his hotel room and headed to where he had his car parked and drove off aimlessly. His heart blazing in anger as he headed to the Harper's family home. Asher had waited patiently and finally the day he could no longer cry silently had finally come, as the anticipation was eating away at him. Soon he arrived the Harper’s, he took a deep breath, and stepped out of his car.As he walked towards the house, his heart kept pounding in his chest. He had endured literally everything the Harper's family had done to him, all because of the love he had for Roxanne. But he felt it had certainly reached it's limit as he could no longer hold it back any more. He can no longer

Roxanne lay quietly on her bed, just like every other days, she had never had a happy day since she had the Darius encounter. Her mind wandering in some many thoughts of the future. She had taken her time to think it through, weighing her options carefully. And now, she knew it was time to share the news with Asher. She picked up her phone and dialed Asher's number, her heart pounding slightly faster with what is likely to come out of her decision.As the phone rang, Roxanne's thoughts drifted back to the day she found out she was pregnant. It was indeed a shocking revelation, but she was happy at the fact the she's going to be a mum soon. But her fear has always been her family and what they would say and how they would react to the news. But now, she has no reason to be keep the good news to just herself, as she thinks the phone continued to ring.Soon Asher picked up and his voice came on the line, warm and soothing, just like always.
