After Asher left the hotel, he went home to freshen up before heading out in his Honda Hybrid. He made sure to find a suitable location to discuss business with Samuel Hughes.A few minutes later, Samuel joined Asher in his car. The man was expecting Asher to discuss business in a nice environment and wasn’t expecting their discussion to end up in a car. “Mr. Asher,” Samuel said with a grin. “I came immediately I saw your text message.” Asher nodded slightly, offering him a smile. “How have you been managing other businesses.”Samuel gave Asher a short laugh, seeing that Asher didn’t smile. He composed himself and mouthed softly. “it’s been going smoothly, the returns are starting to sing.”Asher had done his research on Samuel, he knew everything about the man seated beside him. He was aggressive and sometimes reckless, but there was no denying the man knew how to make money when the tide was right.“I like people who think ahead, which brings us to why we’re here,” Asher uttered.

The evening air shimmered with the anticipation of something extraordinary. Outside the grand entrance of the avenue, The street glowed under the strings of golden fairy lights, draped across marble pillars and waving through the wrought iron gate.Beyond the gate, a crimson carpet stretched out like an imperial river, guarded by men in black who checked invitations.At the crub, were luxury cars.

“Sophia, I am sure you made a mistake. People like him are nothing but bad luck. His presence alone would ruin the event.”Edward was trying everything possible not to lose his bet. He couldn’t tell how Asher got Invited, but he would do anything for him to be thrown out, so he would use that as a way to escape.Asher was boiling in rage, he was trying to keep his anger intact. “This is coming from someone who is running away from debts, you should tell her the truth. How you set her up just for your personal gain?” Emily glanced at Edward, “What is he talking about?”Edward spilt out, “Don’t mind him; he is trying to ruin our relationship because he is jealous.”Asher let out a short laugh, he knew Edward was going to put up a show. “Edward would never set me up because he loves me. I can see you are jealous because I left him for you. That’s one of the best decisions I have made in my life. He is a better man than you. He cares for me and would do anything to protect me.”Asher sc
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 1- The Divorce
Asher walked up the apartment stairs, with his heart heavy with rejections and his mind racing with several thoughts. His shoulders sagged under the weight of another failed interview, making it the tenth time in a row. “You’re a great candidate but I am sorry, we have decided to move forward with someone else.” The words of the manager still playing freely in his head. He clenched his fist, with his face burning with anger. The moment he got to the entrance, Asher drew a deep breath as he reached the door of his in-laws’ apartment, where he had lived for three years. He stepped inside and was welcomed with laughter that echoed through the room. The sound hit him like a slap; he paused, staring at his wife, Emily, and his stomach twisted as he stepped into the living room. Emily was seated on the couch with a bottle of champagne in one hand, her mother, Mrs. Deborah, seated beside her, sipping from the glass. Both smiling and chatting as if they had won a lottery. Their faces
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 2 - The return
A man stood In front of Asher, smirking, tall, broad-shouldered, and wearing an expensive suit; in his hand was a bouquet of fresh red roses. Asher knew him to be Emily’s boss and one of her admirers, Edward George. The man she had replaced him with. The sight of Edward made Asher’s blood simmer. His expression turned cold, while Edward’s grin widened. “I didn’t think I had run into you so soon, pauper.” Asher gritted his teeth. And his jaw clenched. His knuckles turned ghostly white. And he could feel the heat of his rage through his skin. “You should learn to mind your business.” Edward chuckled, walking forward. “I heard the news about how you got dumped by your wife, or should I say, ex-wife. Guess she finally realized she was wasting her time with a loser like you.” Asher exhaled slowly, suppressing his anger. He had no time for this, so he turned to walk away. Edward blocked his path, “what’s with the rush?” he uttered. “I can see you can’t stand seeing someone better t
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 3 - Return the necklace
"You bastard,” Emily yelled with a sharp voice laced with fury.Asher frowned furiously, with his fist clenched and his jaw tightened. “Who the hell is she to yell at him? Even after the divorce, she still wants to taunt him.What do you want?” he retorted.Emily paused throughout their three years of marriage; Asher had never been this rude to her; she hissed a sigh of frustration, “You know exactly why I am calling. I want the necklace you took, Asher.”Asher raised a brow, ”I don’t know what you are talking about? What necklace?”Emily scoffed, “Don’t play games with me, Asher. Edward saw it, There was no way you could afford something as expensive as that. You stole it.”What does she take him for?Asher let out a soft laugh, pouring himself a glass and taking a gulp. “Emily, even now, you still underestimate me.”There was a moment of silence on the other end.Emily hesitated for a moment before she recovered, “I am warning you, Asher. You have less than 12 hours to return it or
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 4 - Restaurant encounter
Asher stepped out of his mansion and decided to take a ride to one of his favourite restaurants. The soft chimes of the restaurant doorbell rang as Asher stepped in. It’s been a while. The moment he entered, he was greeted by the gatekeeper with a smile. Asher remembered that most of the staff members got fired after the business suffered a huge loss four years ago. He spotted his usual table; he was about to go forward when he heard an arrogant voice cut through the air. “Asher, the famous boy toy, or should I say the live-in son-in-law.” Asher’s brow arched; he recognised the voice. He turned and met the mocking gaze of Fred, his old coursemate. The same Fred who had been nothing but an arrogant show-off since their university days in America. Asher’s jaw tightened, and his expression was mixed. Seated beside Fred was a blonde woman; a few others sat at various tables around the restaurant. “I never thought I’d see you here, Asher still got those cheap tastes, huh?”
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 5 - downfall
Fred’s hands trembled as he read the message twice. Praying it was a mistake. His breaths hitched as hot sweat drenched his forehead.His expression could tell a story that things aren’t going properly for him. He raised his brow, staring around the restaurant and at Asher, whose lips curled into a smile. “Cat got your tongue.” He taunted. “Looks like you have been promoted to the head janitor.”The manager smiled, hearing Asher’s words. Fred’s face drained of colour, and sweat dripped down his forehead. He swallowed hard. His throat suddenly dried, and the realization hit him.“How did this happen?” Fred was left in confusion.“You didn’t know, I own Venlo Winery,” Asher spoke confidently.Silent murmurings could be heard from the crowd.Fred narrowed his eyes at the manager, who nodded in agreement. “Mr. Mancini was the one who saved the business when we went bankrupt.” Everyone gasped in shock, murmuring erupted through the corners of the restaurant. They all stared in disbelief

Chapter 28 - Edward's credit
“You are safe Ms, Emily. I was asked by my boss to bring you home.” “Your boss, who is he?” She asked.Asher’s warning echoed In Vandy’s mind; he wouldn’t want to mess up on his first task. “You will get to know soon.”He stepped out of the car and helped Emily to the entrance of her apartment. Just as the door opened, Mrs. Deborah rushed out, she was shocked to see her daughter in such a state.“What happened to her?” She asked. “Emily, are you okay?”Emily was placed on the couch, she lay there quietly with a pale face. “What happened to my daughter?” Mrs. Deborah asked.“Ma’am, it’s a long story, but don’t worry. She will be fine. My boss asked me to bring her home so she could get some rest.” Vandy responded, not wanting to go into full details. Without further ado, he left the room. Mrs. Deborah was in a perplexed mood. She hurriedly dialled the doctor’s number and then Edward’s number. A few moments later, after the doctor left, Edward ambled into the room to find Emily sit
Chapter 27
Lionel was still confident his men would bring down Asher. Is that even possible? “You are just one man, we have got numbers.”. Lionel said, his voice laced with venom.Asher titled his head, “Numbers aren’t always an advantage. Sometimes, they are just more bodies to be disposed of.” The men rushed forward to attack, knowing they had a reward waiting for them if they should take the man down. Asher moved like lightning; the men didn’t see him; his blood burned within him, his limbs moved faster than humans, his vision sharper, and his instincts like an apex predator.Blood smeared across the room, Asher didn’t just punch the men, but he punished them; ribs shattered, eyes gouged. The room turned from a normal suite to a slaughterhouse. Screams echoed, then fell silent, one by one. Soon the floor was littered with broken bodies, moaning and bleeding. Twisted in unnatural angles.Only Lionel stood, his pants wet from an irritating substance. His body trembled in fear; he had just
Chapter 26 - Lionel's downfall
“Who the hell are you? How dare you bang into my room like that?” He voiced with gritted teeth. “You have got ten seconds to Get out before I call my men to kill you.”Lionel’s face was blazing in fury, and rage. Andrew was unfazed, his eyes darted towards Emily. He could tell she was drugged.“What have you done to her?” He demanded with a firm but sharp tone.“Who do you think you are to question me? Do you know who I am?” Lionel’s face flashed in contempt.His face twisted in dissatisfaction; He was about to have the best moments of his life, and the young just foiled his plans.Lionel immediately recognised Asher, as the same man who thwarted his plans to kidnap Mr. Owen’s children. “You!” Asher met his gaze without flinching, “I don’t care who you are; get out of my way before something bad happens to you.” He warned.“You have a death wish,” Lionel uttered, “You should never have come here; this is none of your business. I can give you another chance to live if you get out.”
Chapter 25 - inappropriate behaviour
He gave her a smile, as he moved closer. “Relax, Emily. I am trying to be nice.” Her heart began to pound in fear, two heavy men were standing by the side of the room. Unfazed by the incident unfolding before them.“Mr. Lionel, I am here for a business meeting, not for this. It’s inappropriate.” She replied.He cut her off waving his hand, as his face turned crimson. “We will discuss business; I just want to get to know you.” He let go of her hand, gesturing for her to sit. Emily hesitated, her mind was engrossed in fear. She was in a room with three men. One which had his lustful gaze on her and the two standing like statues by the door.Mr. Lionel snapped his finger, and the guard stepped forward pouring them some wine. He took the glass and sipped from it, without taking his gaze away from Emily.“You can go ahead, I don’t discuss business without you having a sip.” He uttered, as an evil smirk formed by the side of his lips.Emily swallowed hard. She couldn’t tell what was happ
Chapter 24
Emily heaved a sigh of frustration, as she ran her hand over her hair. Her time was ticking, she wouldn’t want to disappoint her mother or Edward. She thought about flagging a cab when she saw someone familiar.Asher, for a moment, considered driving past; she wouldn’t want his help. And truly he wasn’t sure he was willing to help her. But something about her posture, maybe it was the way she looked at him with pitiful eyes, made him take a breath and get out of the car.“You look stranded?” Asher uttered, his voice calm but cautious.Emily was surprised to see her ex-husband driving in a Honda hybrid. She wondered how he got the car, she knew he couldn’t offer anything during their three years of marriage. “I didn’t expect to see you lurking around, Asher,” she said flatly. “I can see you got a new job as a driver. That’s good to see.”Asher smiled, she hadn’t changed. She thought he was a driver when he was the owner of the car. Asher decided to play along.“Engine problem?” he ask
Chapter 23 - the letter
When Asher got to the location, he stepped out of his car and made his towards the quiet building. He knocked the moment he located the number of the door. He was not bothered by the eyes peering at him. After a moment of knocking, the door creaked open, and an old woman in a wheelchair peered at him with curious, knowing eyes.Asher glanced behind the woman for any sign of Isabella or his son. “Yes, who are you and how can I assist you?”He exhaled softly, as he tried to control his breath. “I am looking for Isabella, the woman who lives here?”The old woman shifted her face, subtle but telling. She steps aside. Allowing him to come in.Asher found a child's toy sitting by the corner of the room. He could tell he wasn't mistaken. “Where is she?” He asked the woman.“She left a few hours ago and said it was time to go,” she replied.Asher's heart paused, he couldn't fathom how it happened, some moments ago he got informed of her whereabouts and now he got informed she left, “Where
