💋 Chapter Twenty Four💋

Asher pulled over in front of a casino. He took off his sunglasses and adjusted his hair. He lowered the glass and saw some props guys outside. They were really shooting in,side the casino. He wore it back and stepped out of the car.

“Sir, there’s a…”

“I’m part of the crew” I quickly said. He stared at me and gave me a go ahead. I smiled in reply and went in. I got in,side the casino and saw them shooting from distance. I grabbed a seat beside the counter and ordered the bar attendant to give me a shot.

“Here sir” he said. I collected it from him and faced the scene.

“How long have they been shooting?”

“Four hours sir” he replied.

“Take five everyone… Ten minutes break. Nice work miss Kim” the director yelled. He watched as she took a towel and wrapped her naked body.
Asher placed the glass on the counter and walked towards Kim.

“Thanks, I don’t like the size of the…”

“Hello Kim” he interrupted them.

“Hi there” she said and adjusted her hair.

“I have a business deal for you” Asher said. She smiled and licked her lower l-ips s-ductively.

“Oh yeah, let’s go to my room” she said ad walked away. He smirked and followed behind.
.
“How much does it worth?” Kim asked as she walked into the room.

“A lot of money” he said.

“So, what do I have to do?” She asked.

“I know Sunny paid you some money to testify wrongly about Cora” he said. Kim shot her eyes wide open.

“Who are you?” She asked.

“You have no idea who I am, Kim. Buh you are just a young girl, that’s why I’ll like to make a deal with you. I’ll pay you some sum of money to tell the public that all you said was a lie”

“I’ll do it. I love money” she said quickly.

“Good girl” he said, smirking.

“Speaking of which, I’m on a ten minutes break. Why don’t we…” She said, going closer to him and touching his collar.

“Enjoy your break miss Kim. I’ll send your money after I’ve seen the video” he said and left.

“Hey,hey!” She called him back but Asher didn’t answer.
.
He paid for the drink he didn’t even have and left.
“You’re next Sunny”
.
.
Asher got back home and saw Hudson.
“Finally, you’re back!” He sighed.

“Yeah, I am?” He wasn’t sure of what to reply Hudson.

“You shouldn’t go after those p*rnstars. They are… Wait, you’re doing all of this for cora”

“Yeah, I am. I have every right to protect my model” he said.

Hudson cleared his throat and nodded his head.
“That’s strange. You’ve changed so much. You don’t club anymore, you also haven’t touched a lady for the past days. Like, what?” Hudson was surprised.

“You should go Hudson. I know you’re tired. We have to visit The Brooks tomorrow. They want to talk about my engagement with Cora” Asher said.

“Sure boss”

“You should also have some time to hang out with your girlfriend” Asher said to Hudson as he watched him walking towards the door.

“I don’t have any!” He yelled back. Asher chuckled.

“Tell that to Thelma a**hole!”
Hudson rolled his eyes and left the room.

Asher walked to his balcony and thought about his marriage with Cora. He wanted it secret and not open.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He brought it out from his pocket and checked the caller ID.
It was Cora. He didn’t want to answer at first, but he had to answer.

“Yes?”

“We have to do something really fast. The marriage proposal is coming tomorrow and then they’ll plan the engagement which is going to be in three days time and the public is gonna hear about it and know there’s a reason for you supporting me in this present case, I mean, if we…”

“Relax Cora. Take a breath, I’ll handle everything” he said.
Cora was silent for some seconds.

“Handle everything? What are you gonna do about it?” She asked.

“Nothing. Just wait and see. I’ll hang up first” he said and disconnected the call.
.
.
Cora sat on her bed and dropped her phone beside her.
“What’s he gonna do?” She murmured, asking herself.

“I just hope it’s not something crazy” she murmured again.
.
.
“Make sure it’s well cooked, is the shrimp ready?” Mrs Brooks asked the chef. She nodded.

“Good. They’ll be here in thirty minutes. So, the food should be ready in less than thirty minutes, got it?”

“Yes ma’am” she said again and walked away.

“Put that flower vase over there and raise that curtain, it’s too low”

“Mom, stop it already” Cora said from behind as she walked towards her.

“Oh my baby, you aren’t dressed already”

“This is way too much. I told you, I don’t want a loud wedding”

“Come on Cora, it’s not a bad thing to have one” she said to Cora. Cora slapped her forehead and diverted her gaze. She saw Thelma walking into the house.

“Thelma is here already. If it’s a loud wedding, then I’m not doing it” she said and walked away.

“Listen to me Cora, Cora?” She called back but she didn’t even turn to look at her. She watched as she angrily walked up the stairs.

“Hello Mrs Brooks” Thelma waved and went after Cora.

“Hi Thelma” she said slowly.
.
“I’ve seen the video. Nice work Kim. I’ll send the money to you now” Asher said, with his earpod on his ear. He was staring at his reflection on the mirror, getting ready to go to the Brooks mansion.

“When can we meet? I’m so desperate to have you”

“Good bye miss Kim” he said and double tap his earpod.

“I can’t still get why you are doing this for Cora. I get she’s your model but, it’s too much” Hudson said, laying on his bed.

“Nothing is too…” He paused and sigh. He wasn’t sure if he was having feelings for Cora again. He turned to face Hudson.

“Get your butt off my bed” Asher muttered and Hudson obeyed.

“I don’t know if I’m having feelings for Cora but I’m sure it’s impossible” he said. Hudson’s l-ips curved into a smile.

“I knew it. You would fall for her again. Just don’t make any mistake you like you did the last time” he said.

“I didn’t f*cking do anything. How many times should I say that?”

“Then who did?” Hudson asked.

“For a million time, I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to embarrass the one I love. It’s not possible” he said.

“You were the only two in the room”

“It’s no use talking to you Hudson. Let’s just get going”

“I’ll meet you there. Your father sent me to check the new mansion for you and Cora” he said.

“Whatever!” He rolled his eyes and left the room.
.
.
“I don’t have any idea what he’s gonna do. He just told me nothing” Cora said to Thelma.

“Your hair is done. I don’t know what to say. But, yay! You are gonna get married to him at last. So, deal with it” Thelma said.

“I don’t know Thelma. I can’t trust him after what he did the last time” she said.

“He said he doesn’t know about it”

“It’s all a lie. He was the cause of everything. He ruined my life” Cora said softly.

“But he got it back. He cleared your name” Thelma said.

“Let’s forget about it and go downstairs. They’ll be here any minute” she said and grabbed her phone. She quickly left the room with Thelma.
.
After some minutes, everyone was at the dinning table, talking and eating. Cora wasn’t interested in eating, she was with her phone. She just sat beside her brother and opposite Asher.

“Aren’t you gonna eat?” Jack asked her in a whisper. She shook my head, she didn’t want to talk. Her mother was also staring at her, she remembered what she said before going to dress.

“The wedding reception is going to be held in a cruise, what do you think?” Mrs Greg asked Mrs Brooks.

“I have no idea. We’ve decided for them enough. They should do whatever they want, right Cora?”

Cora raised her head and stared at her mother. She also stared at Asher in front of her.

“Yes, you’re right mom. You guys have decided that we get married but let’s decide how we want it” she said.

“I don’t want a loud wedding mom. Just, sign some papers and boom! We are married” he said.

“Are you sure about that?” Mr Greg asked, facing Cora and Asher.

“Yes” Cora said.
“Yes father” Asher said.

He sighed and nodded.
“If that’s what you want, then so be it”

“You also have my support Cora and…Asher”

Cora smiled. She was finally happy that the public won’t know that she would be married to Asher.

“Congratulations sis” Jack said.

“Thanks bruh” she replied.

“Then, you’ll be getting married tomorrow”

“Wait, what???!” Cora and Asher yelled.

💋 Chapter Twenty Five💋

Cora couldn’t believe that she would be getting married tomorrow. She wasn’t even ready for it now. So was Asher.

“Does it have to be tomorrow?” Asher asked.

“Why? Do you have something doing?” His father asked him.

“Yes, I mean, no. Isn’t it too sudden? I don’t even know anything about my bride” he asked and scoffed.

“You two know each other since you were kids, so there’s no need for all of that. We’ll come back here tomorrow to sign the marriage papers”

Asher sighed.
“Excuse me” Cora said and left.

“Yeah, me too” Asher said and left. Cora got outside, staring at the garden. She folded her arms.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked from behind.
Cora turned and stared at him.

“Everything” she said.

“You don’t need to think about anything. I know you don’t want this marriage, I don’t want it also”

“Did you come here to tell me all this?” Cora furrowed her eyebrows.

“No, I just need somewhere to smoke” he said and lit his cigarette. Cora grabbed it from his mouth and threw it on the floor.

“Smokers are liable to die young” she said and looked away from him.

“Well, I’ve been young and I haven’t die yet. So, it’s a lie” he said. Cora rolled her eyes.

“I can’t believe I’ll be getting married to a dimwit like you. So unbelievable” she gr0×ned in frustration and stared at the flowers.

“We are gonna live under the same roof, sleep in the same bed, under the same duvet”

“Why do I feel you want this marriage to happen?” She turned again to ask him. He stared at her for some seconds.

“Why would you think about such thing? I don’t want it to happen”

“I’m back, what’s the good news?” Hudson came from nowhere.

“I’m getting married tomorrow” Asher said.

“Okay, wait what? Tomorrow?!” He asked and he nodded.

“Uh uh” he replied.

“Where did you go Hud?” Cora asked.

“Well, Mr Greg asked me to go check the house he got for both of you. It’s really big and there’s a soundproof room just for…”

“Can you leave already?” Asher interrupted him.

He stopped and left quickly.
.
“This is so embarrassing” Cora murmured and went to her room. Asher watched her as she walked away. He couldn’t believe that they would end up together after so many years. He remembered her last words and smirked.

“Life is so… Strange” he murmured and went into the building.
.
.
Thelma grabbed her bag, wanting to go home already.
“See you tomorrow and.. congratulations to you Cora” she said.

“Yeah, good night” Cora said, without staring at Thelma. She heard the door closed. She sighed and fell on her bed.

“Jeez, wish tomorrow won’t come” she murmured.
.
.
“Where are you Asher?” Hudson yelled at Asher on the phone. Everyone have been looking for him. It was two hours to his wedding.

“I’ll be at my wedding when it’s time, just let me be Hud” Asher replied.

“Don’t call me that. Only Cora can call me that” he said angrily.

“Whatever. I have to take care of something urgent, bye” he said and disconnected the call.

“Asher? Don’t you…argh!” He gr0×ned.

“Where is he?” His father asked.

“He said he’ll come meet us there” Hudson replied.
.
.
Cora was in her balcony, sipping tea from a mug. It was very hot.

“Cora?” She heard her mother’s voice and turned.

“Good morning mom” she said, waking back to her room.

“Why aren’t you dressed? They will be here any second”

“But the lawyer won’t” she replied her mother and sipped from the cup again.

“Cora dear, I know you don’t want to get married to Asher. Thank you” she said.

“It’s okay mom. I’m doing it for Dad” she replied. Her mother smiled.

“Today, I’m gonna watch him take you away from me”

“Stop it mom. I’m not going far away. Don’t cry today, if you do… I’m not gonna visit you again” she said. Mrs Brooks sniffed in and nodded.

“I won’t, go and have your bath already. I’ll dress you up myself” she said.

Cora gave her mother her cup of tea and went to the bathroom.
.
Sunny heard her doorbell rang. She adjusted her short gown and went towards the door. She heard it again.

“I’m coming!” She yelled, adjusting her hair so that she could look pretty.

“Who is it?” She asked.

“Room service”

“Okay” she said and opened the door. She saw a man in suit. He shoved her aside and stepped into the room.

“Hello Sunny” he said. Sunny closed the door, staring at him.

“Who are you?” She asked.

“I told you I was room service” he said.

“You don’t look like one. Wait…. I know who you are. You are Asher, Asher Greg. I’ve heard so much about you” she said, exposing her laps.

Asher knew she was trying to s-duce him.
“What a fresh skin you have” he said.

“Yeah, I know. Wanna touch it?” She asked, licking her lower l-ips.

“No, I came for a different business” he said and grabbed Sunny and placed a knife on her neck.

“What the f*ck? Why are you?”

“No one saw me entering here. If I kill you now, no one’s gonna know” he said.

“Let go of me, what do you want from me?” She asked, breathing hærd.

He walked her into the room, he was lucky that there was no security camera. He grabbed her phone and gave it to her.

“Undo your post about Cora” he said.

“Why? She embarrassed my best friend”

“Your best friend was a jerk. She didn’t do the right thing, so you have no right to write anything about Cora online especially when it’s fake. Now, undo it or I slit your godd*mn throat” he said. She quickly typed some words and uploaded it online.

“Done, can you let me go now?” She asked.

He checked his phone to make sure she has done it.
“Make any stupid move again, I’ll make you hate me” he whispered into her ear and pushed her to the bed.

“It’s nice doing business with you” he smiled and left.

Sunny just stared at him as he left.
“Something is definitely going on between Cora and Asher. First, he was with her at the airport and now” she thought.
.
Cora was staring at her reflection in the mirror with her mother behind her.
“You look beautiful” she said.

“Thanks mom” she replied, without still smiling.

Thelma opened the door.
“They are here” she announced.

“We’ll be down in a second” Mrs Brooks said. Thelma nodded and went back, closing the door. Cora stood up and slipped into her black heels. She was wearing a white gown but it wasn’t a wedding gown.

“Let’s go mom” she said. Her mom k×ssed her forehead and hugged her.

“Come on mom, I told you not to cry”

“Sure, sure. I won’t” she said.
.
.
They got downstairs and saw the Greg’s in the sitting room.
“Good morning” Cora greeted.

“You look beautiful Cora” Mrs Greg said, smiling.

“Thank you aunt” she replied. Her eyes scanned the whole room, she didn’t see Asher.

“Hello!” They heard the lawyer’s voice.

“Welcome Mr Yu” Mr Greg said.

“I’ll go call Asher again” Hudson said and left. They sat down. The maids came and served them some snacks and drinks.

“Congratulations Cora” Crystal said. Cora smiled at her.

“Thanks Crystal” she replied.

“I would have taken pictures with you but, this is all a secret” she said. Cora nodded.

“I’m glad you know” she said, still smiling. It was all fake.

Everyone was still waiting for Asher. Hudson walked in later.

“He’s on his way, he’s stuck in traffic” he said.

Thelma walked towards Cora.
“You need to see this” she said.

“Excuse me” Cora said and left.

“What happened Thelma?” she asked.

“Sunny was the one who made that video of you. Those who…”

“Wait, Sunny?” Cora asked again to be sure. Thelma nodded.

“I can’t believe this. Why would she do that?” She asked.

“I have no idea. The other guys that made testified against you, they all made a post that it was all a lie, especially Sunny. Now guess what? Your fans are back” she said. Cora was still disappointed. She couldn’t believe that Sunny would do that to her. They weren’t friends but she didn’t have to do it.

“We’ll talk about everything later” she said and left back to the sitting room.
.
Asher walked in few minutes later.
“Sorry I’m late, there was a lot of traffic” he said. Cora sighted him and rolled her eyes.

“Dimwit” she mumbled under her breath.

“Come Asher, just sign the papers and it’s done” his father said to him.

He walked towards the lawyer and signed the papers.

“Thanks” he said, smiling. Cora took the papers to also signed. She stared at it for some seconds, her hands were shaking. She signed quickly and dropped it on the table.

“Congratulations to you. You are now husband and wife” the lawyer said. Everyone cheered except Cora and Asher. They just smiled weirdly.
