Travis’s POVWhen I had excused myself as the plan had been for me to do, I walked to an attendee to initiate a conversation with the person.It wasn’t like I wanted to do that but I had no choice. I was only here to escort her to do her thing. I was a third wheel.I watched the empty chair, expecting her ex husband to join her but instead he had sent someone to talk to her, however, from her head movements and body language I knew she had rejected his advances.Within a few seconds, I watched her stand to her feet and leave the table. My eyes immediately darted to the president who watched her with curiosity as he stood to his feet to follow her to the balcony.I hated having to be on the side lines. I wanted to be by her side and I wanted so much to let the man know that she was mine for the taking, but I held myself back.This was not my fight, it was her fight. I had no right interfering. I had to stay on my own.I was really not happy about this but I knew she had to face the ma

Asher’s POVAfter hearing that she had gotten the abortion, I instantly relaxed. I had been to a school earlier last week and saw three children that looked eerily like me. I had wanted to ignore the fact that we looked alike but the teachers and the parents around kept on emphasizing on that.It was also during the same time that I had met up with zen. Of course I would think the children were mine, however after hearing that she had gotten an abortion, I was calmer.I could now relax knowing that I was not an absentee father. The media would love to rally that around and even my opponents in politics would carry that as their slogan to win for the next election.I noticed she was mad at me for some reason and I was confused on why this was happening.“You look beautiful,” I smiled as she frowned even harder. “You know you look stunning. I can’t believe that this is you. You look amazing. You know, yesterday at the event, you were the most beautiful woman there. No one could compare

“What?!” I yelled in anger. “What is the meaning of this?!”I tried cleaning off the stain before it would solidify to no avail. The damage had already been done.My designer's gown had been ruined. I looked at the person who had caused the damage to see her smirk.“Are you going to get rid of this stain on my dress?” I asked with a plain face. She suddenly got annoyed by that question staring at me like I had hit her with a sledgehammer.“How dare you say such words to me?” she gasped but even a blind person could tell that everything she did was fake.“That was clearly an accident. I had no idea it would resort to this.”Her lies fumed me up even more as I had my fists ready to pummel her face in.“However, if you’re going to be such a worry wart and try to spoil our gathering, then I’ll have no choice but to aid in some way. If you’re going to make me pay for the dress I can do it, money is not a problem for me.”The more she talked the more furious I became.“So tell me how much

While driving home I could only think of the interaction I had had with my former coworkers. They were nothing to me. I could destroy their life if I wanted and I was going to show them just how powerful I truly was.They were beneath me and not worth my time. I had a bigger fish to fry. I was going for my ex husband. He was my target and not these distractions. All I needed to do was bide my time and I would get my revenge on him.As soon as I got home, I found my phone buzzing with messages from Asher. I hissed, dumping the phone in my bag as I headed to the living room to see that Travis was still up and working on his computer.“Hey,” I smiled, heading to kiss him. “You’re still up?”“Yep,” he closed his laptop as he pulled me onto his lap while snuggling his face between my breasts. “You smell nice.”“Thank you.”He looked at the stain on my dress and frowned. “Please tell me this was an accident,” he sighed.“It was. Don’t worry, I didn’t get into any fight.”“Is that right?”“

Chapter 49“I’d like to see you again,” he said as I rolled my eyes at this. I was only hanging out with him to have my revenge, after that I would leave him broken and worse than when I had gotten into his life.“Sure,” I smiled before taking my hand away, hurrying to the door. “Text me.”I entered my car and drove away heading home.I made sure to look in my rear view mirror to make sure I wasn’t being tailed by anyone. He was the president and this made things harder for me. If he wanted he could easily have spies find my location but I did not want that to happen.I got to the house, entering my apartment to see the children already back from school playing with their toys.“Hey mum,” Landon said to me. “Welcome. Where have you been?”“Sorry baby,” I said, kissing the three of them. “I was out with a friend.”I couldn’t tell them that I was with their father. That would raise so many questions that I was not ready to answer yet. The excuse I gave was a better one.When I had showe
