Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with
Chapter 178“Hey let go of me!”. Finn yelled loudly at the prison guards as he was dragged into the toture room. “Do you want to die? Do you know who you are laying your hands on? let me go. Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on? I have been here for weeks now. What am I still here?”“Shut u
Chapter 179: The happy ending “What? “How dare you?!” Maria panicked at first when Asher said what he said, but she quickly covered it up. “ Vincenzo, did you just hear what he said?”“Gaius Come in” Asher said and Maria's knees suddenly went weak. She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s
'Take the blame'.Asher had just returned home from a long stressful day at work. He heard some weird rumours at work, but he was really sure if it was true.Well that wasn't what mattered to him right now. Today was his wife's birthday and he hoped to have a blissful celebration it with her like he did every year. He has known his wife Elena for eleven years, married to her for seven years. Yet his love for her renewed with each passing day.Asher nudged the living room door open and was met with a tense and eerie atmosphere. Mr Andrew Miller and his wife Grace sat together on one couch,while Elena sat on another couch with her hands folded. He couldn't really read the expression on his in-laws faces, but his wife's face was heavy, it looked like she had been crying.That was what really mattered now. He hates seeing her in tears."Elena" Asher rushed to his wife ,who covered her face with her hands as their eyes made contact.Asher misunderstood the situation and thought he was in t
"What?" Elena asked, unsure of what she heard the first time."I will take the blame for your father. I'll happily go to prison for him." Asher reaffirmed, standing up from the couch."What the hell are you on about now?" Elena snarled at Asher."Baby, let me do this okay? Please" Asher begged with his eyes, while his in-laws watched the exchange."You're okay with going to prison?".Elena asked cynically."Elena see, it's just for a few days, I'll be back before you know it. I'm sure father has a plan"."No, I can't -"."I forgot to add, Asher, you'd have to divorce Elena" Andrew said, cutting Elena off."What?" Asher and Elena asked rhythmically. "Yes, that's the only way for everyone to believe the story"."Divorce? Oh! Dad please" Elena said, looking stunned.Andrew sighed. " Let's say you threatened to divorce him because you caught him cheating. To rebel against you and the family that supported your cause, he laundered money. People will direct their hate towards Asher and we wo
"Oh my God, Asher, I'm so sorry". Elena said, tears streaming down her eyes."You're crying again" Asher said, worried ,as he used his green prison clothes to wipe the tears off her eyes."I'm so sorry. Dad had to do this to you. I never should have allowed it. I'm so sorry, Asher"."It's fine baby. I'm fine. You know I don't like seeing you crying"."You dummy, how can you worry about me right now when you look like this?. Look at you. Why would they do this to you?". Elena cried out in frustration."I'm fine Elena, stop crying. I don't want the guards getting suspicious over nothing. Moreover your father said I would be out of here soon. I trust him, he won't leave me here. I'm just so happy to see you "."You're such a fool. Do you really think my dad gives a shit about you?. He forbade anyone from visiting you. Not me, not your buddy Peter. No one. Do you know what great lengths I had to go to see you?" Elena asked in between tears." I'm hundred percent sure he ordered these monste
After a long moment of intense and rigourous kissing,Elena laid on Finn's chest and traced her hands over his arbs."So". Finn asked as he trailed his fingers on her hair."What?". Elena asked as she bit her lower lips. She was supposed to feel embarrassed but Instead, she felt relaxed and happy." This round was different". Finn said, tracing his hands over her lips."Well!! Yes it was". Elena revealed,"it was phenomenal" she said, raising her head to meet his gaze."You see?, it's all because that dude is out of the way"."It just doesn't feel right. All of this doesn't feel right"."Don't blame yourself babe, he wasn't even supposed to be in the picture. Your parents gave him a chance at a life he would have never imagined. Now that he has served his purpose, we don't need him again""Did you know about this all along?". Elena asked marvelled."Yes of course. Did you really think I let you go just like that? Not to talk of the son of a nobody". Finn said, smirking."Wow!! You guys a
" Arghhh!! My head!!". Asher winced as he tried to open his eyes. The back of his head banged seriously. He held it in pain. Asher slowly opened his eyes but everything was still a blurry haze."Arghhh!! Fuck". Asher cursed slowly as he tried sitting up but a throbbing headache restricted his attempts. He suspiciously eyed his environment and noticed he was no longer in his prison clothes nor did this place look anywhere close to the prison's infirmary."What the hell? Where am I?." Asher exclaimed looking around.A young man in his thirties rushed to his side, filled with worry in his eyes." Thank God you are finally awake. It's been days. I was becoming so worried. Young master, how do you feel now?.""What? Who are you?". Asher asked, blinking his eyes, trying to remember what he had seen the strange man before."I'm so glad you're finally awake. My name is Riccardo, your butler." "I don't know what you're talking about. But why am I here instead of prison?". Asher asked, confus
