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 two 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?”Asher exhaled s

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
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 6 - Survival
“Darling, what’s happening?” Emily asked. As she walked into the office. “Now isn’t the time, Emily. The business is bleeding,” he replied with his eyes blazing in fury.“It’s all over the news, people are beginning to talk. You should do something about it, Fred. We can’t let this happen to us. You promised me we will always be at the top.” Emily said with a shaky tone.Edward exhaled heavily, “I don’t need you to tell me what I already know.” Emily knew that if the business should collapse. She will lose everything. She doesn’t want to go back to her old life. She wouldn’t want to be laughed at by her friends.Edward raged boiled over, when he kept seeing numerous calls. He grabbed the document from the desk and hurled it across the room. The papers scattered around the office.Emily flinched in fear when she saw the horrible expression in his gaze. Just when she thought she would experience a good life after her divorce with Asher things began to go south. “You can go back to yo
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 7 - Find them
Asher was shocked and confused. He was finding it difficult to believe it was her. “Isabella.” The name escaped his lips.The woman froze, her eyes widening in shock as she stared at the figure who had just called her name. Her eyes flickered between the man and her son.A few moments later, they both were seated across from each other. With a defining silence that had engulfed them.“I demand an explanation? What are you doing here, and where have you been?” Asher asked, his voiced was brimming in anger.Isabella clutched her son closer. She swallowed the lump in her throat as she struggled with her words. She had never imagined she would ever come in contact with Asher.Asher’s gaze was serious and dangerous. “I am talking to you, and don’t keep quiet like you didn’t hear my question, Isabella.” “Mom, do you know him?” The little boy asked.Isabella broke into tears, Asher kept a mild demeanor, and all he demanded was an explanation from her.“I am sorry, Asher. It’s not what you
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 8- Yours
Asher sat at the large, polished desk in his study, the weight of the world pressing down on him. His mind kept racing, trapped in a loop of memories and questions.Why did Isabella keep running away? He could still hear the mournful hum of the funeral procession, the last time he saw his parents. They were gone, and his world had collapsed around him. But it wasn’t only the grief that haunted him, the absence of Isabella did as well.The night of his parents’ funeral, he had gone to her apartment, hoping to find solace in her arms. But when he arrived, the place was empty. No sign of her. No note. Just a cold, empty room. Her belongings had disappeared, leaving him in a vacuum of confusion.For two years, he searched. Every day. Every night. He had to know where she was, why she had left. Had she abandoned him? Or was something more sinister at play? The pain of not knowing consumed him.Then, Emily entered his life, bright, caring, and gentle. At first, it seemed perfect. But Asher,

Mark Spencer leaned back in his chair, his gaze steady as it fixed on Edward George, who sat opposite him, fidgeting in his seat. Edward’s face was pale, his mind clearly racing. The pressure of his company’s impending collapse weighed heavily on his shoulders, but pride kept his hands from trembling.“Edward George,” Mark said, his voice smooth, the words like ice sliding through the air.Edward snapped his attention to Mark, his lips pressing together in a tight line. “Yes?”“I take it you know why I’m here,” Mark continued, never breaking eye contact.Edward nodded quickly, his jaw tight. “It’s about the offer, right?”A slight smirk tugged at the corner of Mark’s lips, a calculated gesture meant to keep Edward on edge. “You’re right. I’m here on behalf of Mr. Enzo Mancini. He wants to help your company. Think of it as a lifeline.”Mark leaned forward, his voice lowering to emphasize the gravity of his words. “Mr Mancini is willing to save your company if you agree to give him seve

The doorbell rang, its shrill sound cutting through the soft hum of Emily’s home. Edward stood in front of the door, running a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the lingering stress of the day. His heart was beating fast. After everything that had happened with the deal, his mind was a mess, but he had no choice but to keep his composure for her.He wiped his palms on his pants and exhaled sharply. Then, with a deep breath, he reached for the handle and walked inside.“Edward!” Mrs. Deborah's voice was warm, but there was an edge of concern in it as she walked down the hallway toward him. Emily was just behind her mother, appearing in the doorway of the living room, wiping her hands on a dish towel.“Edward, you’re here. It’s good to see you,” Mrs. Deborah said, but her smile was strained, a question lurking in her eyes.“Good to see you too, Mrs. Deborah,” he replied, offering her a brief but sincere smile, though his mind was elsewhere. His gaze flicked to Emily, her eyes
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 11 - The Birthday Party
The air was heavy with the scent of fresh flowers and expensive perfumes as the hum of conversation and the clinking of champagne glasses. Guests in sharp suits and sparkling gowns mingled, their voices rising in unison as laughter filled the grand hall. The guests gathered in the sprawling living room of Mr. Zack Sinclair, where a piano sat elegantly in the corner. Its key is occasionally graced by the fingers of an accomplished musician.The waiters dressed in black suits weaved through the crowd with trays of fine wine. The music was light, creating an atmosphere of grandeur without shadowing the lively conversations.Asher sat at the side, dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, with a Patek Philippe Grandmaster chime. His presence got the attention of everyone around, who were wondering who the young man was and where he was from.He was unbothered by the eye staring at him; People couldn’t stop admiring how he looked. Meanwhile, Emily stood near the centre of the room; she was

The man holding the young lady’s arm was the first to turn, “Who the hell are you?” He barked, his grip tightened on the woman’s arm “Let them go, you are hurting her,” Asher warned.The men exchanged glances at each other as their faces were filled with anger. It was obvious the man standing before them had a death wish. Does he think he can handle five of them? The man pointed his gun at Asher, “You should leave now you have the chance. I might forgive you and let it slide, but if you stand in our way, I will not think twice to kill you.” He gripped tightly to his gun.“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, let them go.” The men were boiling in rage; Asher wasn’t supposed to be in the picture. This was supposed to be an easy Job but With Asher stepping in, they seemed to be having a difficulty. A cold glint flashed on his eyes, “I don’t care which family you are from, this is none of your business. Take one more step, and I will pull the trigger.” Asher remained unfazed as he advanced.

Edward’s gaze turned dark, “You lie, loser. I just signed a new deal with Mr. Enzo Mancini. And my company’s market value has increased. Whoever told you I sold my company is a lie and a loser.”Emily, unsure of what to do next, nodded in agreement. “I can see you are Jealous, she left me for you. Let’s be honest, what can you offer? Can you get her an invitation to an exclusive event?”“I can get her as many invitations as she wants, just name it.”“Stop bluffing, Asher,” Emily muttered.Edward paused and sneered. “Let’s make a bet then since you claimed you can.”“Since you called me a loser, you shouldn’t be afraid of me.”To Edward, it was impossible for Asher to get an invite from the top prominent families in the city. “Sure, I am not scared. You have nothing, my family are among the prominent families in town.” He bawled. “There is an exhibition coming up soon in the south city, it’s being held by the Simpson’s. If you get yourself an Invite, I will make sure I give you my sec
