After his lover of five years jilted him for his younger brother, Asher discovered he wasn't the true son of the multi-billionaire he had called father for years. Unable to bear the pain of seeing his brother married to his former lover, he took a decision and left the city in search of a new life and his real family. Along the line, he stumbled upon a deep family secret. In his attempt to solve the mystery behind the secret, Asher found himself walking through the path that would lead him to his true identity. But then, his life became threatened and he had two choices; to put his life on the line and fight for his rightful position in his real family or accept his former identity as the adopted son of a multi-billionaire.
Babe, you are joking, right?" Asher Hudson bored his eyes into his lover of five years, Ellie Wynn. His expression was deep, his eyes exuded love and great affection he had for her. Ellie rubbed her face helplessly, a soft sigh escaped her lips. "Asher please," she mumbled and averted her gaze from him. "Asher? You called me Asher," his voice became bleak, his eyelids fluttered and he suddenly felt a pinning melancholy. She had never called him by his name for five years. "Babe please, have I done anything wrong?" " But she wagged her head.
"You haven't done anything to me, It's a decision I've taken." Perhaps because of guilt, she couldn't look him in the eyes. "Babe, you can't just leave me, you can't just throw away our five years of love," he raked his head, then rubbed his face. "You've always loved me, or was it all an illusion?" he took her hand, stroked it gently and placed a soft kiss on it. He lifted his eyes and stared tenderly at her, "I'm sorry if I have offended you, don't just leave me please," Ellie lowered her eyes, her hand which he held trembled slightly. The most difficult decision she had ever taken was putting an end to a relationship she cherished, telling the man she loved dearly that he was no longer good for her. "You can't look me in the eyes anymore babe," he trailed his fingers on her face and she quivered. She wanted to hug him, tell him she still loved him, but she was helpless. She shut her eyes and bit her lips as sob rose in her throat. She felt a great wrench of sorrow and fought to stop the tears that had come to settle in her eyes. "Babe, this isn't what I need now, I just lost a business deal, I need your kind words at this point please," his voice thickened with despondency. A business deal worth millions that had been successfully signed was suddenly cancelled. It wasn't the first time it had happened and it always left him devastated. He was the eldest son of Gage Hudson, a business mogul whose net worth was billions. With his businesses scattered around the country, his two sons were left to manage some, but Asher rarely recorded massive business deals and contracts. It was a usual occurrence that anytime he successfully wins a business deal, the other team would call to cancel it after some days. Despite how hard he had worked, it proved abortive. On the other hand, his younger brother, Cruz Hudson had all the accolades, several multimillion business deals, remarkable achievement and many more. Cruz should be called an epitome of success. But then, he had a supportive father, one who didn't write him off, but encouraged him. Despite how many times he had failed, Gage Hudson would always buoy him up. He also had a supportive lover, who believed in him, who had stuck with him through thick and thin, but the same lover was sitting in his office, putting an end to the love they shared. "I lost again babe, just like before," A great pang gripped Ellie's heart as she listened to his broken voice, she slowly raised her face and finally looked at him. "What happened again?" she asked in a voice which had been eaten up by grief. "I don't know, I don't just know, how do I tell father that I lost the deal again?" The great deal of sadness in his voice rendered it hoarse. Ellie, held his hand tightly, raised it and brought it to her lips. "You will record success one-day, don't give up please," Her lips sent tingling sensations round his body. That was what he needed, her comfort, her consolation, her encouragement. "Don't ever say you're leaving me," he placed a peck on her hand which gripped his. "I truly love you." his voice revealed the emotions she was familiar with. If it were before she would have snuggled in his arms. "Honey, can't you understand?" she stared fixedly at him, hoping he could see her challenges and understand her plight. Asher shifted closer to her, there faces close to each other. "Understand what? that you don't want me anymore? that you're leaving me?" he brushed her lips gently with his thumb. "Have you stopped loving me babe? Are you in love with someone else?" She quickly shut her eyes, her breathing became heavy and tears trickled down her round, smooth face. "Talk to me babe, have you stopped loving me, Ellie Wynn?" The more he asked, the more her tears fell. She opened her mouth to assure him, but her lips quivered instead. "Tell me you no longer love me," he cupped her face gently, then slowly wiped her tears which streamed down. "I.....I......Asher please!" her body quivered as her sorrowful tears fell. Slowly, she opened her eyes, then locked gaze with him. "I lo....lol.....please Asher, It's not easy on me too," she stuttered. He looked at her tenderly, her eyes said it all, her eyes held so much emotions. "What's going on babe?" She lifted her hand and touched his face. "My parents, they don't want us together," she trailed her finger to his lips, and left it there. "I love you Asher, I do, but........" The rest of her words were blocked by his lips. His kiss was soft and gentle. She allowed him relished her lips, giving in to his desires. "I love you Ellie," he muttered while savouring the taste of her lips, and just then, he lifted her and gently placed her on the longer sofa. With low moans escaping their lips, their hands fondling each other, their clothes went off their bodies and only sounds of moans, groans and kisses filled the room. "I'll become a better man for you babe, stay with me," he whispered as he thrust in her. He deepened their kiss, snaked his tongue into her mouth and enjoyed the feeling of her lips on it. When it was over, he laid above her, stared deeply into her eyes, lost of words to say, then after a moment, he revealed a smile, then kissed her lips. "I love you babe, don't worry, I'll talk to your parents." "No, there's no point." She gently pushed him aside, got off the sofa, picked up her clothes and lingerie which were scattered on the floor, wore them, then picked up her purse which was lying on the smaller sofa. "I'll be on my way," she turned to leave but he held her immediately. "I'll pick you up tonight," he gently turned her around and kissed her deeply, his heart was beating rapidly, the wind of loneliness suddenly brushed his skin and he hugged her tightly. " She wrapped her hands around him and rested her head on his chest, listening to the thundering of his heart. "No matter what Asher, don't be discouraged, you'll records success one-day. Always remember I love you." Her words lightened her mood, that he smiled broadly. "Yes, I will record success, see you later my love," then she disengaged from their embrace and left the office. Once out of the office, her tears fell heavily. She hurried to the elevator, and released a heart piercing sob. It was goodbye, she was leaving him. "I love you Asher," she muttered
