Entangled With My Alpha Triplets

Forty one

~Hazel~

The cologne struck a heart wrenching pain in my chest as I knew he could smell me too. What would happen to Tyler now? He wasn't supposed to be back just yet.

"Goddess, please come to our aid." I muttered, squeezing my eyes and hoping he wouldn't find me.

I watched in the dark as he strode over to Tyler and observed him with a hardened expression on his face.

"Have you stayed so long in here that you have started communicating with spirits of our ancestors, brother?" He asked, still looking around for someone.

Tyler gave him a weak look and said nothing so he repeated again. "Or did your mistress sneak in here to please you again?"

"Hazel...."

"If you are here, I'm going to be nice enough to forgive you this time if you come out but if I find you, I'll chain you up in another room for a week." He threatened.

"Are you that insecure, brother? What would your wife be doing here? She doesn't even know that such a room exists." Tyler defensively said.

"Even if she were here, you wouldn't openly admit to it so why should I believe you?" Asher questioned.

"Because I see no point in telling lies when you are eventually going to find out the truth."

Well.. Isn't he a fantastic liar?

"You, I might believe to an extent but not Hazel. She couldn't have gone anywhere but here."

"Perhaps, she went shopping." Tyler suggested.

Asher's face flattened and he scoffed, "Then I would have received a deduction of alerts from my credit card."

"Right!" Tyler finally ran out of words while Asher continued detecting the issue.

"How about we make a deal? If she isn't in this very room with us then I'll release you to father but if she is..." he dragged the last line with a brutal expression sitting on his face.

"Then I'll still send you to him just in a vase with your name labeled on it."  I saw shock flash in and out of Tyler's eyes and I wished I could suddenly disappear into the walls.

"Well, I better start practicing for my welcome party because I'm surely getting back my freedom." Tyler confidently replied but I could tell that his heart was about to stop at any point.

"Don't speak too soon because I can sniff her already."

Maybe, if I voluntarily came out and we both pretended like he didn't know then Asher would forgive us one last time.

"Baby, Asher, I didn't know you were back." I stuttered.

Asher didn't seem surprised with my presence but Tyler sure did.

His eyes screamed, 'what the heck are you doing?' but I ignored him.

"I expected you to be at least in the garden knitting away a warm jacket for your husband or in the kitchen cooking my favorite meal or better still, in our bedroom looking all sexy for me but I find you here?" Anger and every dark emotion you could think of dwelled in his eyes.

In a brief moment, his hand was already wrapped around my throat tightly.

Tyler in panic freed himself and rushed to us, "Asher, let her go! You should face me, not her!"

Asher's eyes flicked to his brother, sneering at him. "So the chains weren't tight after all. You released him, didn't you? And when you heard I was coming, you both quickly took positions of pretense."

"Have I become that much of an idiot in your eyes?" He barked at me.

"No, my lord." I choked out.

His head fell to the side and he burst into wicked laughter, "Your Lord, you say? Yet you go down on your knees and suck the dirty cock of another! You are such a bitch!"

Then his high shoulders dropped and his eyes twinkled with a strange smile, "I felt bad after what I did to you last time. I came back with the intention of apologizing and making things right."

He was lying.

He just wanted me to feel bad while he stayed the wonderful husband of my youth.

"Let me show you something." Holding me by my neck and cuffing Tyler again, he led both of us out of the room.

Naked.

The humiliation I was about to face was a nightmare.

"You think Tyler can give you any taste of the good life?" He scoffed, dragging us to another room which was fully packed with fifty gift boxes.

This was just another manipulation tactic that he learnt from goddess knows where.

"Every single box here is for you and I had them custom made with your name engraved on them." He handed me one of them.

"Open it and see."

"I do not want your gifts if you are still going to treat me like a low life." I gritted my teeth, pushing back the tears.

"Well, I cannot be a good husband to a whore because I'm going to make you hate me."

I should have never pushed him to like me so much. Few days ago, the idea of him being possessive turned me on in so many different ways but now..

I was bloody irritated.

"I already do and let me make this clear again, Asher."

"You could buy me the whole world but you will never be able to measure up to the love Tyler has for me." I stated.

Fear crossed my mind after I spewed that and in my head, I imagined him throwing a dagger at me but he was just so chilled.

"Your Tyler, huh? Did he ever tell you about this?" His eyes darted behind me and he nodded in direction.

I was confused when two pregnant women walked in with a scowl on our faces.

"Who are they?"

"Why don't you ask the man standing next to you?" Asher chuckled darkly and wiggled his brows at Tyler.

My heart sped up with anxiety as I forced the question out of my mouth but he still didn't respond.

Instead his expression was clouded with trouble then he turned back to Asher.

"Why would you bring them here? They were supposed to be kept a secret till after child birth."

"Because they are your mates and father deserves to know that he will be a granddaddy soon." Asher replied, popping champagne and pouring it into his glass.

"Want to make a toast?"

"Oh, not everybody is happy. It's such a shame that your boyfriend is tied down with so many responsibilities and because I'm a good uncle, I'll let him go with his baby mamas on one condition." He spelled it out.

Was he about to trade me for the lives of these women? Or do something worse?
