The One True Billionaire's Heir

Chapter Four

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 are just the worst". Elena said giggling and playfully hitting Finn. She climbed on top of him and spread her breasts on his chest. Despite the long session of kissing that almost left her breathless,she wanted more.

"Now that I think about it. Elena said and Finn raised his eyebrows.

"Yeaa?".

"Asher truly doesn't deserve me". She said as she adjusted herself on his body, placing her hands under her chin and staring straight into his eyes smiling. "I think I just pitied him because of his poor background. I am better off without him".

"For eleven years, I went through alot because of him in the hands of mum and dad." Elena said ,snuggling herself more to him. "I always defended him and seriously, I got tired of it. He's just so weak, he never stood up to them once. I always had to do it for him."

"Forget about him, he is gone forever now. This chapter is about you and me. It's about us". Finn said, kissing Elena's forehead.

Elena giggled sheepishly as Finn's words sank into her head. She pressed her lips against his and all the feelings of guilt and compassion she had for Asher disappeared. He was in the past and Finn was her future.

Later that evening, Elena returned home and her heart felt heavy. She felt bad for talking to her father in that manner. He might be hard and difficult most times, but loved her and everything he did was all for her.

Elena knew that.

"Dad". Elena called softly but her dad pretended not to notice her presence.

"Why did you go to the prison?". Andrew asked and Elena's heart sank.

"Why are you so stubborn?. You and Asher were never meant to be. Why would you fall in love with a pauper". Andrew asked, his anger rising.

"I don't love him dad" Elena said, taking her father by surprise. He expected her to fire back at him like she did anytime he talked down on Asher.

"Well I thought I did, but I realise I don't." Elena said as tears began to well up in her eyes. "I just pitied him so I mistook it for love."

"What?". Andrew asked, surprised.

"I'm sorry dad". Elena said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Oh!! Baby…come, come". Andrew said as he brought Elena in for a hug.

"You were right. Asher doesn't deserve me. It's not my fault he doesn't have a background. I'm sorry dad for letting you down." Elena said as Andrew patted her head.

"Finn's dad has taken care of everything. We are going to be alright. And as for Asher.."

"Daddy". Elena called softly, interrupting him.

"Yes!! Baby".

"Don't let him out. Ever. Let him rot there. If possible, order for him to be killed." Elena stated, her eyes meaning every word that came out of her mouth.

Andrew's lips curved up into a smile, as he stared down at his daughter's serious face.

"Done".

******************************************************

It's been two years since Asher heard from the outside world. One year and ten months since he last saw his wife.

Asher had given up on his life already but still held on to the string of hope that his wife would come back for him as she promised.

Asher sat quietly at one end of his tiny cell, moving his body with ease so as not to touch his sored wounds.

The sound of the cell door cracked open and Asher's heart skipped a beat.

"Out". The harsh voice of one of the prison guards cut through the dark windowless cell. It was time for his daily manual routine.

"Inmate 489".

"Yes sir" Asher answered, stopping in his tracks and turning to face the guard.

"You are to take the warden's quarters today".

Surprised, Asher answered." Yes sir". Those quarters were only for A class prisoners.

Asher diligently mopped the floor in front of the warden's office, ignoring all the side comments the guards and his fellow prisoners gave him.

"The fool doesn't know his wife is married already".

Asher heard the warden say mockenly, inside his office.

"He's such an idiot thinking that sissy ever liked him. Considering he's a bastard." The person inside the office with the warden said, erupting laughter from the warden.

Asher froze as his eyes met with the image displaying on the warden's television. His eyes itched and his stomach suddenly became too heavy for him to carry.

"What is this?". He asked himself silently.

Subconsciously, he dropped the mop and walked straight to the prison phone booth, even if it wasn't time yet. He punched in Elena's number and it rang twice before Elena's voice came on on the other side.

"Hello". Elena said, soft music playing in the background.

"Baby, tell me it's not true."

"Who is this?." Elena asked.

"Elena please tell me it's not true". Asher said, his voice cracking.

"Asher?"

"Tell me it's a lie baby, please I'm begging you".

"Well it's not".

"Elena, why…"

"Did you really think I loved you?" Elena said sharply, cutting Asher off.

"What?".

"You are such a fool for thinking I ever loved you. You were just a pawn in my parent's game."

"You people sent me to prison, just so you could be with him?"

"Took you this long". Elena said, an evil smile forming on her face.

"Elena?"Asher said, hurt.

"Fuck off Asher, and don't ever call this line again". With that, Elena hung up.

Asher stood there with the phone to his ears, numb, staring blankly at the wall. He loved Elena with all his heart. He would willingly die for her.He couldn't believe what he heard her say.

"Hey". A hoarse voice pulled Asher of his thoughts. "What are you doing there?". A guard asked, pulling him and throwing him harshly to the floor.

"Stand up". The guard barked at Asher, pulling him along with him. Asher knew what was going to happen next.

"Please". Asher begged , staring into the face of the man that held no sympathy.

The guard flinged Asher into a wooden chair as the reached the torture room and turned around to get a rope.

"Take off your clothes". The guard commanded as another guard joined them in the room.

"Please…". Asher's voice trailed as a loud punch went across his face, resulting in blood coming out of his mouth.

Thud!!.

The guards watched with amusement as Asher winced in pain.

"Oh!! You are the Miller's trash bag right?". One of the guards spat out while sending two punches across Asher's face again.

Thud! .Thud!.

"No!please, I beg you". Asher begged, struggling with his words.

"Bring the whip". One of the guards ordered his mate, who handed it over to him.

"Your whore of a wife is married again and you are going to die here". The guard said mockenly as he sent the whip across Asher's body

WAP, WAP,WAP.

The harsh object with pointed ends landed on Asher's skin but he didn't flinch. The pain emitted from the whip did not compare to the pain coming from his heart. The Millers had deceived him, his wife had betrayed him. He closed his eyes as the whip met his skin again and again.

"Oh!! This dude doesn't feel pain again". The second guard said annoyed.

"Let's see if he doesn't feel this". Using an iron bat, the guard hit the back of Asher's head as hard as his muscles could take him.

"Stop!!!". A voice commanded in the background but it was too late for Asher as everywhere went dark suddenly.
