HIS ANGER

"A-asher?" I turned my head when I felt something hit me and immediately liquid flowed from my forehead. When I touched it and looked, blood was flowing. When I bent down I saw the can of beer on the floor with some still being thrown away.

"I already paid you, bitch. I'm just waiting for the result if you're still clean and now others will be ahead of me." I can see the frown on his face, he is drunk and he is angry base on his expression.

The blood kept flowing on my forehead but I ignored it. I just wipe it with my hand as if nothing happened.

"You're wrong in what you think Asher, Everything you’ve witnessed today is all wrong but you did not give me a chance to explain,” I said.

"Why, did you do something right? Even marrying you is one of the big mistakes." He then picked up a can of beer next to him and drank again. "Remove your dress in front of me." He commands me.

"What?" I asked and started to get nervous.

"I said undress." He threw the can he was holding at me again and it was stronger than before. Fortunately, it doesn't hit me.

"Asher,"

"Undress!" he shouted.

"But ...."

"You will undress or I will undress you?" He barely said.

I have done nothing but follow his wishes while crying. I was slowly lowering the strap of the dress I was wearing when suddenly he spoke.

"Dance." He commanded that stopped me. "I want you to strip dance."

"Asher," I called his name.

"I pay you, you have no rights to complain."

Even if I complain, even if I cry, even if I beg I know that it is also worthless and I will only be hurt if I disobey Asher's command.

While doing what he wants, a memory from the past flashes.

("Dance prostitute, dance prostitute." Sing together with laughter.)

"Go on Ash,"

I took off my clothes one by one from top to bottom. I cried as I did that until my body was completely exposed in front of him. I heard him laugh then stood up and approached me.

"It's nice to play with you Ashley. I feel happy seeing you crying upon receiving my punishment."

He touched my face and pressed the wound to my forehead. It hurt, but I ignored it.

"Fuck You, Ash. What else can I do more for you to see you struggling? How about ........." he stared at me then gave me a scary smile. "How about I will find that Charles and do something on him."

I suddenly trembled because of what he said and fear immediately overwhelmed me. I must not be discouraged and I must fight Asher for Charles. He doesn't have any mistakes so he should not be involved.

"Don't do that Asher." His eyes narrowed as he stared at me.

"Tell me, why?" he asked then touched my face tightly.

"Because you'll only get hurt more when you meet him." Anger draws on his face and it was even angrier than before. "Can you Ash? Can you face the man I replaced you with and chose over you?"

He gritted his teeth while looking at me. I know he can find Charles if he wants because Asher is a private investigator and he also knows a lot that can do it for him.

So I suddenly realized that it was wrong to fight him and that I should be nice to him. So that he would not take the step of finding Charles. I am all he needs and if I give him what he wants, to see me suffer and hurt he will not be do any actions to find Charles.

"Asher." I knelt in front of him while hugging his knee. "Don't touch him and he is not to blame for this. I'll do everything for you and I'll give you everything you want. Punish me if you want because I'll die if something bad happens to him. He's the only one I'm clinging to now especially that I don't have everything. He's the only one I have so I am begging you to spare him."

Asher knelt down and trimmed me then lifted my head so I met his gaze.

"Where did I miss, Ashley?" he asked as his eyes red.

"You have no shortcomings Asher, and I really love you. But he became more important to me than you so I chose him. He knows nothing about it and he has nothing to do with it. I chose him I am the one who wants to be with him." Asher bowed after hearing what I said. When he looked up it was full of anger.

"Accept all my punishment on you Ashley. I will not touch him or even find a way to know him, but you will pay for everything. You will be the head and tail of it all. You left me so you will receive my punishment." Then he stood up and kicked me in the stomach then he walked out the door.

I could do nothing but cry and cry until he disappeared from my sight.

I have a six-month contract with Asher. Six more months I will suffer physically, emotionally. Suffer because of his anger.

I am now angry with God because he allows this to happen but I know I have no reason to question his will.

I just only wish Asher wouldn't get hurt. But I was wrong because I am the reason why he is hurt now. I make him like that.

I WAS ABOUT to enter the office when I passed Carmona, Asher's secretary. I stopped when she suddenly grabbed me and asked me.

"What happened?" she asked while pointing at my forehead with a bandage because it was stitched and the wound was quite large.

"I feel down." I laughed at the answer and saw that he was shaken.

"My god," she said.

Since he had no other questions, I entered the office. I was just at the door when I heard laughter from inside the office so I looked at Carmona. I would have asked when she spoke.

"Sir Miller's sister and her flirtatious friend," she said.

Agatha?

I took a deep breath then calmed myself before entering.
