CEO Asher’s Runaway Bride

Chapter 2 Loving the beastArabella walked wearily as she got closer to the house. She feared her father so much. Bennett Javernick wasn’t such a brutal man until he lost his wife when Arabella was ten and since then he resolved into drinking which marked the beginning of misery for his daughter.Bennett would come home throw things at her and beat her when he got the chance to. Neighbors do not try to interfere knowing how violent he could become when they do, they only reach out to her when he is nowhere near and help nurse her wounds. She had been planning on eloping to her only relative alive, her mother’s sister in Pennsylvania until when she met Liam. Bella smiled at the memory.She had heard of people talk about the mysterious young man who lived in the woods alone because he was a beast. Secretly, Arabella wished she could meet him and find out if truly he was what they claim him to be. She met him one of the nights her father went really overboard. Bennett had thrown a bottle

Chapter 4 The BetCollins shifted on his feet uncomfortably, he hated being in the position he found himself at the moment. Of all person to get in an argument with, his father wasn't one he would want to have to deal with.“You amaze me every time, Collins. I can't believe you would be this stupid. What the hell has gotten into you!" His father yelled.Holding on to his ear like it would fall off, he moved further away from his father. He should have been smart enough to not let his father get a hold of his plan. All he needed was a little more time to get his mission completed and after that he would leave. But his father wouldn't hear of it and Collins knew he only got to know through his sister Catty.“The bitch!” Collins muttered as he glared at her.Catherine stood at the door of his room jesting him with her eyes. If he knew she would go that far he would have pleaded with her more. Now all of his plans were in ruins because of her."Now listen to me young man." His father's vo

Chapter 6 He played meThe perks of schooling next to home is one being able to run to the arms of one’s family when troubled. Such was the case of Mia, she couldn't wait to get home to see her grandaunt and mother cause they knew just the right thing to do to console her.Mia stared at Cheryl's hand in hers as she drove. What would she have done if Cheryl wasn't there? She might have lost it and might be forced to commit suicide due to the embarrassment. She had known Cheryl all her life, although wild and very outspoken she was a good company for Mia. She was glad for the first time since they applied for college that Cheryl had decided to stay back and not left for other college.Cheryl stopped the car in front of her mother's pastry shop, M&A pastries and coffee. The shop name had been gotten from the first letters of her name and her mother’s name. The shop was filled up to the brim, it was lunch hour obviously and people needed to have a refill. Mia didn't think her mother would

Chapter 8 Dinner with the WaltersFred Duckstein took a swift glance at the window facing the car park of his office. He clanked his tongue after seeing the person who highlighted from the car. It was his long time but not so close friend George Walter and the man got on his nerves every time. Staying clear of him had been the best option, since Fred noticed how pushy he can be and his greediness to earn too much was very glaring.George owned the classiest hotel in Titusville and had branches every corner of Pennsylvania, still he was never satisfied, he eyed so many landed properties in the area wanting to claim it as his and at a very unattractive price. It had gotten worse when he became Mayor. George Walter visited almost every week trying to seek for contracts and it annoyed Fred to the extreme. But being the Mayor he had to be polite to avoid being tagged as unconcerned of the people's welfare.Fred heard a knock on the door and without bothering to ask who it was he told him t

Chapter 10 M&A Pastries and Coffee‘I can't believe you would do this to me Adam.

I am getting some free booty and I am not missing it for anything.’ Adam laughed.‘Not even when your dad slumps down due to heart attack?’‘The hospital should hold on to him till I am done.’ Adam retorted with a tone of finality.Asher barked out a laugh. ‘You, my man is a crazy human.
