Victoria's Pov

" Then, where is he ? "

That question caught me off guard. I start to think where could he be. 

" Maybe, Sofia has something to do with this ? " I asked to no one in particular.

" She did storm out of the meeting furiously " Astoria said to prove my point.

" If she took him, where would she hide him ? " Rick asked.

" We will need some serious help for this "

" Do you know anyone we can ask for help ? "

" I have someone in mind "

A moment later

I call Cynthia to come to my house. She said that she's on her way. It shouldn't take long. My phone ring and I pick up the call.

" I forgot to inform you there are death valleys for you outside of Valor boats and VA Cosmetics. What should I do with the death valleys, Ms. Valor ? "

I think for a while. " Distribute them to the employees of both companies and make sure you get one too, Meredith "

" Thank you, Ms. Valor " I end the call.

" Wow. You get such a grand gesture from Asher . You must be pretty happy, V ? " Astoria teased me.

" I am impressed that he actually kept his words. But, we gotta find him now "

The bell ringed. " I'll go get it " Astoria sprint to the main entrance.

" She has a lot of energy. Are you not overwhelmed with her, Rick ? "

" Sometimes. But, that enthusiasm is what makes Astoria herself " Rick responded.

Astoria return with Cynthia. " Don't worry, I have already found his location " Cynthia said.

" What are we waiting for ? Let's go " Rick said.

" Lead the way, Cynthia " Cynthia grab my hand and we get teleported to a very foreign place.

" What is this place ? " Astoria said.

There are a lot of rumbles around the place and the lightings are very dim. It looks abandoned.

" This is the old prison. Come on, follow me " Cynthia starts to walk.

Why am I suddenly worried for Ash ? We walk until we reach something that look like a prison cell. We go inside and find a skeleton in shackles attached to the wall. I look around and find a man who look down and is in shackles. I approach the man and kneel to find that it's Ash.

He looks so tired and there are scars on his cheek. Someone did this to him and I'm gonna find who it is. Everyone else go to him. I want to wake him up. But, I don't know how he will react.

He slowly opens his eyes. " Asher, are you there, bro ? " Rick asked. His face is filled with shock and fear. " Who are you people ? Stay away from me " he said with fear in his eyes. I feel bad for him that he need to suffer alone.

" It's just us, man " Rick tries to calm him down which seems to work. " Where is Tori ? " he asked. I begin to step closer to him. " Just calm down. I am here " I said.

" You happy ? I already returned your boats and gave you death valleys " 

" Of course, I am happy. Thank you. But, how are you here ? "

" I think I was kidnapped "

" By who ? "

" I didn't see the person "

" I am utterly sorry for just leaving you like that last night "

" No need to be sorry. I was wrong for not asking for your permission to buy your boats "

" Can you freed him from the shackles ? " I whispered to Cynthia.

" Of course " Cynthia use her magic to free Ash and he almost collapse .

" We gotta take him home " 

We teleport back to my house. 

" All of you may leave. I wanna stay with Tori " Ash said.

" Do you want to go back to your apartment , Asher ? " Rick asked.

" No, I don't think I can walk properly " 

" Where do you want to sleep ? " I asked.

" The guest room " I take him to the guest room.

Thank goodness, vampires has super strengths. " Stay here, I'll come back with your medicine " I rush to get the medicine.

He wince as I apply the alcohol to clean his scar . " I am so so sorry. I hate to see you in pain "

" So, do you actually love me back ? "

" You're in pain and you still manage to ask that question " I laugh as I clean more of his wounds.

" I am serious "

" After a lot of consideration, yes " I feel his lips on mine.

At first, I hesitate. Then, I start to kiss him back and that kiss quickly turn into a make out session. We part ways panting for breath.

" I love you , Asher Oakwood "

" And I love you, Victoria Valor "

A few months later

Victoria's Pov

After a long day of work, I head home just to be greeted with a hug from the back.

" I miss you so much, Tori " I chuckled at his words.

" I miss you too, Ash. But, please let me go upstairs so I can change to my bathing suit " he lets go of me.

" I'll be waiting on the swimming pool " he yelled as I go upstairs.

I change into my bathing suit and go to the swimming pool. Ash is already swimming. Without warning, I dive straight to the pool.

" You were so fast. I didn't notice you're here already " he said.

I kiss him on his lips. " I would've never thought that we would be here enjoying the night sky especially with you, Ash "

" I have made it my goal to win your heart since day one "

" Oh, really ? "

" Yes, in fact , I never thought love at first sight exist until I laid my eyes on you " I splash water to him.

" You are being so cheesy "

" But, you love it, don't you, Tori ? " he smirked.

" I won't admit it "

" Come on, just admit it "

" No " I get out from the pool and run to my room.

" Oh, so that's how you want to play it . Game on, Tori "

The end
