Loving Asher King

46 | ILY

Kiara's POV :

I was back home and in my office working for the past six hours. "Yes, I need that sent to me ASAP. Where the hell is the contract signature that was supposed to be received yesterday?" I yelled at my secretary. He shuddered and left. It was a long week with the launch of the new product, and I had no time for anything.

"You slept with Asher?" Kyle said storming in his voice really loud. "Yeah tell the entire fucking company Kyle," I said glaring back at him. "What the fuck is wrong with you? So what all these years and you forgive him just because you are horny?" he screamed at me. I stood up taken aback. "Mind your fucking tongue, did Elina forget to mention to shut the fuck up and not bring this up with me?" I asked him.

"You should have come to me first," he said taking a threatening step forward. "My sex life is none of your fucking business," I glared back at him. "It is when you are with someone who treated you like trash, give me one good reason you are with him Kiara," he said finally calming down a little. I stared back at him having no answer. "I like him," I said after a while.

"Really do you like him or do you just like the thought of him and your sorry ass can't digest the fact that he is back and he couldn't love you then and now that he is giving you the slightest of attention you are ready to fuck him," he said. "Shut up," I said sitting down on my chair. Not able to comprehend. "You do realize that you have just been waiting for him, that's pathetic Kiara, he just came back and you just let him, what is wrong with you?" he asked.

"Kyle, stop you are making me sound like a desperate whore," I said looking at him tears brimming in my eyes. "Kia, I love you and I say this because he hasn't treated you right then and he isn't treating you right now. He is being desperate for god knows what reason and has gotten in your head about it too. You are wasting your time on him again, you deserve so much better Kia," he said holding my hand and gently rubbing it trying to calm him down. "I really hope you think about this with all your head, I will support you no matter what but I'm going to break his face," he said getting up and storming off.

I sat there completely shocked. I hadn't realized what was happening. Everything was just happening and I had not put any thought into it. It just felt right at the moment. But was Kyle right? Was I just doing this because I was attracted to him? Or because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I shook my head. I didn't have time for this right now, I said burying myself in work and trying to forget about a certain man in my head.

The product launch had been successful and the party we were hosting for it was going great. Kyle and I were definitely in a cold war. "I'm sorry Kiara," El said sitting beside me. "It's fine but a warning next time would be nice you know?" I said. "So how is Asher?" she asked. I didn't know. I didn't know because I was avoiding him at all costs. He was supposed to be back two days ago but he was not yet. He was texting me constantly but I was ignoring him saying I was busy, or I was at work, or something else. He was pissed I knew that and I wanted to talk to him but not before figuring it out.

"I haven't talked to him," I said. Her eyes widened, "What do you mean? Don't tell me Kyle got in your head!" she said shocked. "He didn't get in my head Eilna, he did bring up some pretty serious things that I should have thought about before fucking the guy that broke my heart," I said before downing the champagne. "Well I hope you have had enough time to think because Asher is walking over to Kyle right now," she said getting up. I turned around seeing him in his black suit, pretty pissed. His face had a scar, his hand was wrapped in a bandage and yet he somehow looked amazing. I missed him. A lot right now the only thought in my mind was to run to him, hug him, and ask him how his week was. Ask him if he missed me. But I just sat there, I didn't want to be the girl pining over him again. Pathetic. I said turning away from him and looking down at my fingers.
