    "Ohummy gossdness"" I said, rumming my hands through myptop. A mixture of joy and sashness in my tone as I stared at the heading of the mail

    For the past few days, had been sovan


    cha up with Asher and the drama thates with living with him that feedback from one of my appli ations.


    My hands trenddles with joy and anticipation as I scrolled down in click the application message open.


    hot hold sig


    Howe the mail has been opened before! Had I mistakenly opened it.


    The thought of thetter got me instantly worried, but I immediately brushed it to the corner of my mind, knowing that no one ever entried my poem, except the mails which was still very rare and maybe- Kingg Aslier.


    Oh goddess, Ashes!


    No, he couldn''t have. He never came in here whenever I wasn''t around. But how could I far is sur? After all, I wasn''t even in the pack when ih mail was stil


    I let us a deep sigh as I took one u


    one more nce at the screen. I should be happy about this news, and yes I am, bat I''m more worried mat that my cfort has all gone to waste.


    My first thought was to plead for themencement date in die pushed further by a month or two. But fiu still here, being held hostage, against my will and 1 have no hope of leaving even in the next one or two months. Before I can get out of this ce should be a year or event inore, Whichpany would want to reserve me a post for a whole year? Such things only happen when the applicant in question is the direct son or daught of the CEO and the chuld is being transeil with a motive to take over iliepany one y,


    My joy died at the implications-


    The unpleasant moment was graced by the unexpected entrance of King Ashrr. His mira was heavy in the room like he had just bathed in his Kingly glory


    Meanwhile, I was still dressed in my linen pyjamas.


    Thank goodness it wasn''t one of the days I decided in wear juist m

    "Do you ever knock?" I asked angrily as I watched him stroll over in get settled on quy couch.


    "Do you ever use your locks?" He replied.


    I''m the one to me." I said, rolling my eyes at lum.


    I had nothing on


    the inside of my pyjamas and so his heavy gaze on the was very disturbing.


    He set one of his legs on the other as he further rxed into the chair. "Is that the


    first thing you do every morning? Are you expecting some kind

    Laptop


    "It''s nothing


    ng that concerns you,"

    There was silence for a couple of minutes, his eyes roaming around my body before they finally fell on my fare. "Tiet really, we are our appointinent " Hu eyes drifted to his gold watch and back


    "Ready for what?" I whined but suddenly remembered why he was in my rooin thest time. "You don''t expect me to do any rehearsals with my rumeni sopdition, da yan?!"

    TUDO AM


    I wasn''t necessarily doing anything in there, but I made sure to waste as much time as I could just to piss him off.


    Ten minutes past. But he seemed to not have noticed what I was up to.


    Twenty minutes, thirty minutes and I began to hear his footsteps approaching the door. I leaned against the door, listening to Asher''s muffled voice.


    "Gemini,e out. We''re runningte."


    1 ignored him, taking my sweet time. I heard him try the door handle, but I had locked it. He knocked again, his voice growing impatient.


    "Gemini, open the door. This is not the time for jokes."


    But I refused to budge. After trying for a couple of minutes I began to hear his receding footsteps. All my mind was that I had won. But then I heard the sound of keys jingling outside the door. My heart sank as the door swung oper


    Asher stood in the doorway, his eyes fixed on me. I was still wrapped in my towel, with no sign of water on my body. He raised an eyebrow.


    "Still not ready?"


    I red at him, but he just turned on the faucet, the sound of running water filling the room


    Get in." he said, his voice firm.


    I shook my head, my eyes wide with defiance, "No"


    Asher''s expression


    dn''t change, but his voice took on a hint of amusement. "Do you want me to give you a wash tool


    I felt a surge of embarrassment and anger. "What the fuck Asher?" I seemed to be getting used to calling him by his name and he wasn''t saying anything about it either.


    "Or do you prefer the maids do it since you no longer know how to give yourself a bath?" Before I could even say a word in pulled out his phone. "Send two maids to Gemini''s room right away...


    I panicked, realizing my n had backfired. "No, wait! Don''t call them. I''ll get ready"


    Asher''s eyes


    glinted with amusement. "Good"


    I followed him towards the door as he exited, "Where do you think you are


    going?" He asked, looking over his shoulder.


    "The door." I said trying to close it back.


    “No dear, this should remain open," he said, cing his hands on the door. That''s your punishment for ying games."


    my defence, Asher


    1 scoffed, how the heck was I supposed to take my bath knowing he could be peeking? The only times he had seen me naked was when I wasn''t in my right senses, when I was drunk. But the thought of him seeing me naked was the most embarrassing thing I had ever thought of


    The thought of him there was a great motivation to hurry up on my wash, and within fifden minutes, I was done.


    I finally emerged from the washroom and got dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit. Asher''s eyes scanned me briefly before he nodded and gestured for me to follow him


    We walked to the car in silence, the tension between us palpable. I couldn''t help but wonder what his ns were for me today.


    My curiosity piqued, and I turned to Asher, but he remained silent, his eyes fixed on the


    We eventually stopped in front of a familiar building the hospital.


    "Why didn''t you tell me it was the hospital?" I asked, my voiceced with frustration.


    Asher umply shrugged and stepped out of the car, opening the door for me to follow.


    At the captial the doctor greeted us warmly and led us to a private examination room. He checked my vitals and asked a few questions, but instead of giving me feedback, be turned to Asher and began discussing my condition in hushed tones.


    I felt a pang of annoyance, wondering why I was being kept in the dark. The same thing happened thest time I was being checked and the thought of being in the dark about my own health was the worst feeling ever


    As we left the hospital. I turned to Adler, expecting


    eting some exnation. But he remained quiet, his expression unreadable as


    ever.


    10:23 AM ? ?''.


    "What did the doctor say?" I questioned, not willing to remain quiet about the situation.


    "Asher?" I called, prompting him to speak up. "Can I at least know about my own health, what is really wrong with me?"


    I was still so bothered about what had been discussed about me in the hospital that I failed to realise that we weren''t going out the normal


    The scenery outside had suddenly changed from urban to rural. I grew increasingly anxious, realizing we were not heading back to the pack house. "Where are you taking me? 1 questioned, curiosity taking a toll on me.
