The One True Billionaire's Heir

Chapter Three

"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 monsters to do this to you."

Elena couldn't hold back the tears. After Asher took her father's place, he has been stuck here. Her father has the warden in his palms and forbade anyone from visiting him.

Asher rubbed his temples nervously. If she knew the hell he was going through in here, she would literally go mad.

"Look at you" Elena said as she traced her hands over his neck and stopped on his chest. "What is this?"

"It's nothing Lena. It's just a scratch. I fell down"

"What? Take your clothes off"

"Elena I…"

" Asher White, don't argue with me. Do it" She commanded in a tone that gave no room for an argument. 

Elena gasped as Asher slowly pulled his clothes off his body. "Oh my God. Those bastards"  She fumed and rushed towards the door but Asher stopped her.

" Elena, please calm down," Asher begged.

"What do you mean by calm down?" Elena chuckled in disbelief. "They are treating you like an animal in here and you're telling me to calm down?"

"Why did you try to hide it from me?"

" Because I know you'd behave like this, if you saw me in this condition" Asher said in frustration.

"Why would dad do this?" Elena scratched her forehead bitterly and paced round the room." It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let dad do this."

"No, no, stop it, it's not your fault Elena, I don't behave well here at times. That's why they beat me up. Don't blame your parents"

"What is wrong with you? How long are you going to keep defending them when they have clearly abandoned you?" Elena screamed angrily at Asher who slowly bowed his head and sighed.

"I'm going to get you out of here," Elena said as she picked up her bag. "Trust me,even if it's the last thing I do, I'll be back". She zoomed out of the room angrily.

Asher found himself alone in the visiting room, lonely, burdened and confused.

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

"What the hell did you do to Asher Dad?" Elena stormed into her father's home office, oblivious of the person sitting on the couch.

After she left the prison premises, Elena drove straight home.

" Speak of the devil, Elena come, come" Andrew said with a broad smile on his face.

"You didn't keep your word. What did you tell those bastards to do to him?"

"Finn, you've met my daughter already," Andrew said, ignoring his daughter's furious glares.

" Hey Elena,I…" Finn greeted, while Elena rolled her eyes at him.

"You haven't answered my question" Elena snapped at her father.

"What are you talking about?". Andrew asked, getting annoyed.

"Seriously dad, you're gonna feign ignorance about this?. He is in jail in your place and as if that's not enough, you ordered your minions to beat him up and won't allow anyone to see him. What did Asher ever do to you? For as long as I can remember, you and mum have always been so mean to him. And he literally lived his life pleasing you. How can you be so heartless?"

Andrew chuckled, pouring himself a drink from the liquid on his table. He took a sip and offered some to his daughter who folded her arms instead. "Darling, I don't hate him, you really think I let you marry that lowlife just like that? You two aren't compatible. You are way above his league." Andrew explained and chuckled wickedly, earning a grin from Finn.

" So this was all you and mum's plan?" Elena asked in disbelief. " How can you be so wicked? Asher is human being for fuck's sake".

" Watch your tone Elena. I have a guest, one who is here for you as well" He snapped.

Elena scoffed and her eyes trailed to Finn. He is tall, with broad shoulders, blonde curly hair and an oval face. He had an attractive face and smelled nice but she didn't care 

"So what's your plan this time? Am I just an object that you can toss from one man to another?"

" Come on Elena, stop being so difficult". Andrew said as he sat behind his desk. "Oh!! You think I have no idea?".

"What are you talking about?" Elena asked, taking steps towards her father's desk and stopping some inches away from it.

" Well about your frolicking about with Finn here"

" What?" Elena asked, shocked, while gulping down on her spit.

"Oh!Stop the pretence Elena" Andrew said with a smirk on his face. "Why did you think I asked you to divorce Asher before he went to prison?. I did it just to give you freedom".

"Wow!! Dad, I know what I did was bad, but yours is extreme. Asher is a human being for God's sake"  Elena fired, determined to meet her father's gaze.

"Come on baby, Asher is just a pauper and you are just like me." Andrew said, meeting his daughter's gaze.

"What the hell are you on about now?" Elena asked, confused.

"If you are so righteous, and love Asher so much as you claim. Why are you here?. Why didn't you head straight to the police station and reveal the truth about the money laundering?" Andrew challenged her.

"I know you didn't do it".

"Don't give me that crap Elena" Andrew said, bursting out into laughter. "You know I did. Stop trying to tell yourself otherwise. * Andrew said, approaching her and stopping a few inches away from her ears. "  You're just like me. Like father, life daughter." He whispered daringly into her ears.

"Get the fuck away from me. You're lying" Elena warned.

"No I'm not". Andrew said with a side smile. "But you won't tell anyone right?. You are my girl".

"Arghhh!!!" Elena shouted angrily and stormed out of the office.

" I'll go after her". Finn said to Andrew who nodded. He hated seeing his daughter in that mood, but it didn't matter as long as that low-life was out of the way.

Meanwhile, Finn ran after Elena who didn't stop despite his callings.

"Elena" Finn called out again. "Elena stop, you can't drive like this". Finn said, pleading.

"Get off, Finn" Elena barked angrily.

"Come on, why are you being like this? Huh!! Deep down isn't this what you always wanted?"

"Don't push your luck" Elena warned.

"Before he came into the picture, didn't we always plan to be together? It's our chance now babe"

"This isn't right. It's a human beings life we are talking about here!".

"Please". He says in a softer tone. Elena glared at him and somehow his words calmed her.

"Fine". Elena hissed and walked to the passenger seat, facing her head away from him.

Finn drove in silence and in about an hour, they found themselves at the hotel Finn was staying at in the meantime.

"What are we doing at your house Finn?". Elena asked as if being snapped out of a trance. She didn't even notice when Finn switched lanes as her mind was occupied with thoughts about Asher.

"Come on Elena '' Finn said with a smirk Elena didn't like.

"I asked you a question, Finn". Elena asked, getting frustrated.

Finn smiled, walked over to her side of the car, held her hand and led her towards the building. It was a hot afternoon, and it frustrated Elena more, despite the tall magnificent and estatic decoration the hotel had.

"What would you like to drink?". Finn asked as they finally entered his suite.

"Vodka please".

Elena watched as Finn walked away. Hours  ago, she was arguing with her father over her ex husband and now, she is alone with her ex boyfriend.

What a life.

"Here". Finn said as he handed her the glass of vodka as she sat on the couch.

"Whatever plan you are hitching up with my father won't work. You know that right?"

"What plan?" Finn said with a smile, a smile Elena found irritating.

"I can't be with you right now". Elena scuffed and stood up.

"Your father asked you a question"Finn asked.

"What are you talking about now?". Elena asked, looking intensely at Finn.

"Your father asked you a question. Why didn't you answer it?." Finn stood up and approached her.

"Oh!! Shut up" Elena rolled her eyes.

"You sly girl".

"You better shut up, or I'm gonna hit you".

Finn drew Elena closer, put a hand on her cheek and another on her waist. He stared at her dangerously. Elena tried to resist but she couldn't hold herself any longer. Slowly, she drew herself closer to him and locked lips in a passionate kiss.

Finn slightly bit Elena's lower lip, causing her to let out a moan.

"I missed you so much…".
