Chapter 42
Gemini’s POV
“Why can’t I go out, make me understand,” I whined, trying to push my way past the guards in front of my door.
Their faces remained stoic and unyielding. His Maje

I scoiled, “What the fuck does that even mean! Lasked, trying to make sense of it
“Isn’t it enough that he took my life away from me, now I can’t even be free around here,” I said, angrily making my way back into my room.
A crazy message popped into my mind, and I turned back to them with a sly grin. “Maybe you could help me pass a message back to him, tell him I said, “FUCK YOU” I said, showcasing my middle fingers.
The crack in their demeanor didn’t go unnoticed even though they immediately transitioned back to their serious nature. They sure didn’t think they would ever find someone who could say such words to their ‘Almighty King‘
Why send the guards when you can relay your message yourself?” His cold voice echoed in the hallways and I could feel the shiver that immediately ran down my spine, almost like I had been poured a bucket of cold water. it would be better to hear it from you directly.”
His big foot halted in front of me but I refused to raise my head, I refused to see that angry stare in his eyes. The door fell wider open as he pushed it, brushing past me as he made an entrance into my room
“Did you really think your little emotional talk from the previous day was going to save you from punishment?” He said behind me, his hand dancing across my study table. His eyes seem to linger on my laptop for a little longer than supposed.
The image I had left on the screen got me hurrying in to shut the laptop. It was that one time I went swimming with some friends back in college and I was dared to take sexy pictures in my white bikini and send them to my then crush, Pierre.
His lustful eyes shut up to meet mine as I slammed the laptop close. I still couldn’t hold his gaze, my eyes roaming around the room as they avoided his

my throat and tried again. “What do you want from a cheater like me?” I said
sarcastically.
“I’m glad you have finally decided to be truthful to yourself” His gaze remained heavy on me like he was picturing me in the bikini all over.
I shook my head at his cluelessness. And deep down, I knew that I was done trying to prove my innocence to him.
His phone buzzed, diverting his attention from me. I had no idea what he was up to and I didn’t care to ask, all that bothered me was the reason he was staring down at me so intensely.
“Good, you will be starting tomorrow” He said finally, before setting his phone side.

I packed my hair in a messy bun as I collapsed into my bed. “So. Are you going to tell me why you are
“That was your instructor on the phone,” a scowl formed on my face as I stared puzzled at him.
“Instructor, what for?” I question, throwing my hands open to lay emphasis on my question.
“We would be attending a businessmen dinner summit next

Asher’s expression remained serious, his eyes boring into mine. “We’re mates, a couple, it’s expected that we attend such meetings as one.
“And you really think you can endure me for a whole night? I mean, considering our disastrous first time.” I said firmly, a bit of hurt in my worl “Come on, everyone knows you hate me and I bet your pack members wouldn’t like to be represented by a weak wolf like myself. So why play pretend coupler

“And who knows, I might consider easing your restrictions if you behave yourself and make a good impression.”
I snorted, my tone sharp once again “Really! That’s all I get?” I said unimpressed, crossing my hands over my chest. “You know what, I think 1 prefer to remain in my room, so long as I don’t get to see you. Tas fine. And as for your event, you need someone who has this inborn, not someone who is trying to belong. And that is why I suggest you take Becca instead. You can give her the necklace, the ring, the car even, for a perfect touch. I bet you two would make a perfect duo.”
King Asher’s expression never faltered, as though he had expected me to react goes on here!” He asked, his husky voice leaving me seething with rage.

“Be a good girl” He added, placing a cherry topping on the anger I already felt.
He proceeded to exit my room, but just in time. I popped my question. “This wasn’t why you paid nifty million dollars to have me, was it! I meant. according to what the documents said, all you need from me is an heir. He froze at my words, probably stunned as to how I found out.
