Asher's Legacy. Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four.
It had been days, weeks and suddenly going to months when Sofia heard from Odette. She had scanned her brain, but still could not remember doing her any wrong in the past.Why had she suddenly changed? What wrong did she do? The last time, was her husband being mysteriously ill, what could possibly keep her this far, this time? Or is it possible Odette was facing same ordeal and not want to let her know about it? Sofia thought as she was having a hard time trying to sleep. She had tried to let it go, but how would she? When Sofia had been her best friend.They shared secrets and hide nothing from each other. Sofia thought back and forth but could not remember doing anything that could warrant Odette choosing to distance herself in that manner.The first time a thing like that happened, Sofia almost could not forgive herself for not trying to find out first, what the problem was before concluding Odette possibly needed a space.And when she did? She made sure she was there for Odette

“Sofia...?"Roland who was seated in the living room, his eyes glued on the newspaper he had on his lap. He was just going to raise his brows from his glasses when he saw Odette walking in with Sofia, her very good friend.He called out to her, with a hint of shock in his voice. Cause he had noticed his wife. Odette, hardly speak about Sofia, and himself on the other hand, had been quite mentally down and discussing things that would certainly not solve a part of his problem was definitely a no big deal to himBut Sofia, who was in a mix of happiness and shocked to see Roland strong after witnessing what he went through in the hands of a mysterious illness.Stood for a while, in a daze and wondering what Odette did in her absence that got Roland feeling so well and vibrant again.“Wow. It’s really been a long time, you know?" Roland continued."Come on Sofia, please don’t stand there"Odette said, the moment she looked beside her but didn’t see Sofia coming. In flash, she looked bac

Odette has just finished telling Sofia what the family had been into, which got Sofia really emotional that she found herself shedding tears uncontrollably.Her instincts were right after all, but how would she know all of that was happening to Odette if she completely disconnected herself like something was actually going on between their two.She sobbed so hard that Odette had to stand up from her seat to join her while trying to hold Sofia in her arms."It’s okay my friend, I just hope you can now understand how devastated Roland and I had been all this while"Sofia? She cried some more, then wiped the tears off her face."You are strong Odette and I’m helplessly by your side. I will be here and we would figure a way out of this"Odette smiled, a confirmation that Sofia had not changed a bit. She was happy that she was still the old Sofia and that was something at least, even though it would definitely not change a thing.“Sure you are Sofia, but this is way beyond what anyone of u

Sofia did not stop. She continued hurling at both Roland and his wife Odette to quickly speak up and tell her where Meredith had gone to, so she could go look for her.Sofia had definitely not forgotten how insolent Meredith was to her the past few years, she became close to the family. But that would never be a yardstick to leaving her out there in the cold, with a baby growing in her womb.But Roland kept his deafening stare alive, pretending not to hear a thing. It was obvious, Sofia would never have the answer she was looking for, from Roland. Immediately she turned to Odette, the look on her face was clearly threatening but Odette didn’t care. It was a deal between herself and the husband, and so she wouldn’t want the fault coming from her own end."I don’t care whatever you both have going on In your mind. But this is totally crazy and I won’t sit and watch it slide”Sofia said, but the silence continued. No one among the two was ready to let the other down. "For Christ sake O
Asher's Legacy. Chapter One.
The sun had started to set and a cool breeze was blowing. Asher Griffin smiled to himself as he walked down the street towards the Harper's family mansion, where a party was being thrown that night to celebrate the 60th birthday anniversary of Roland Harper, the patriarch of the family and his father in law. He slipped his hand into his pocket and touched the small box he kept there, which made him smile even wider. "Roxanne is going to love this gift," he thought to himself. Today, he had bought Roxanne a necklace with a set of earrings so she could wear for the party. His wife's family looked down on him and treated him like trash because he was poor. When he got married to Roxanne three years ago, the Harpers thought he was a new big shot in the city. Unknown to them, he was just running errands for his boss. He had tried to explain the truth to them, but they never thought to listen to him. As he reached the gates of the mansion, he saw that they were closed. The pressed in th

Asher couldn't believe it, but he kept his expression calm. "I want to hear from my wife first. Roxanne, do you really want to divorce me?" He asked hid wife who still sat quietly in the corner. She raised her head to look at him, and as Asher looked into her eyes, he saw a look of determination set into her face. She stood up and moved to stand before him, then said."You know that I love you very much, and I will never do such a thing."Asher was relieved to hear his wife's words. He took her hand and turned to look at her family members' faces in anger. He then began to say to them, "So you are willing to sacrifice your daughter's happiness? All because of money and a few gifts?" The Harpers looked at each other and burst into laughter. Roland wiped his eyes and said, "Who are you to question us? I am the head of this home and I will do whatever is best for my family. And currently, that is ensuring we have strong ties to the Larsen family, and you are being a stumbling block f

Asher sat down in the back of the car as the driver wove through the roads in the city. "Find me a comfortable place to sleep tonight." Asher said to the driver. "Yes boss," the driver nodded and continued to drive, stopping in front of a 4 star luxury hotel. "It's not the best in the city, but it's the closest sir." The driver said to him. "It's fine," Asher replied. He opened a small black box that was kept on the seat beside him in the car. In the box was a black card with a glittering silver stripe along one side, and a sleek black smartphone. He tucked both items into the pocket of his jeans and stepped out of the car and into the hotel lobby. Once he entered the hotel, he went straight to the front desk where a young woman was sitting behind it. She took one look at him, noticing his old jeans and rough t-shirt and her face dissolved into a frown. "I'd like a room for the night, please." Asher said to her. She wrinkled her nose at him as if he smelled bad, then said rudel

The next morning, Asher stood on the balcony of the hotel room, making a phone call. "We need to meet with the families, so we can know our next plan of action. I'll see you soon. Send a car to pick me up this morning." Asher said into the phone. "As you wish, boss." The voice on the other side replied. "Good." Asher said and hung up. He moved about to get ready for the day. He looked at his rumpled shirt and jeans, and made a mental note to get himself new clothes. He left the suite and took the elevator downstairs to the lobby. There, he saw the manager from yesterday standing by the front desk, talking sternly to a new receptionist. The manager turned and noticed him, then rushed forward and began to offer greetings. "Uh, good morning, Mr…" The manager then realised that he didn't even know Asher's name. "You can call me Mr. Griffin." Asher told him, noticing his discomfort. "Thank you very much, sir," The manager supplied. "I'll be leaving this morning." Asher announced.

Meredith's set her eyes right onto Liam's, making sure they were pierced directly through his balls, in her voice barely above a whisper. "I mean, I'm pregnant" she rephrased, her heart beating fasting like it was going to fail her in few minutes time. "With your child Liam, and..."But before she could finish, liam was already on his way going out of the cafe. She paused a bit as tears rolled down her eyes.Liam was actually serious, was it her fault that she got pregnant? Did she not beg him not to go on without protection? Why was he then making it look like she was the one who had planned to tie him down? Meredith stood right there watching Liam walk away from her. Her eyes were right on his back but her mind was million miles away.Suddenly she realised herself but at the time, Liam had gone a little far from her. "My goodness" she blurted, taking her eyes back to where his friends were, but the table was empty.Just then she looked around her and noticed couple of eyes were on

Meredith was still reeling with the thought of how she was going to deal with her parents abandoning her after they found out she was pregnant. She had left home and decided to take a walk around, and hope that would probably help with idea on what to do next.Moment later, she found herself seated in the small café, watching people come in and go out but her mind was a million miles away. What was she going to do, if her parents stood their ground? Does she have what it takes to begin the journey she’s on the verge? She had sat in that cafe, long enough to call it a day. The feeling was just like a storm cloud was trying to settle in her brain, that even the familiar scent of freshly brewed coffee and baked cakes could not lift her spirit from the endless thoughts."I can’t believe this is happening to me, what am I going to do? Who should I speak to, about this?"She muttered while scanning the environment, even in the absent of her own mind.Hours later, Meredith peeped through h
