Chapter 9
“If you want property, I’ll get someone to choose a big one for you tomorrow over at Nimbus Estate. It’ll be ten times better than this one,” Asher said.
Juliet’s smile froze slightly. The flash of despondence was gone so quickly that Asher felt as if he had imagined it.
“It’s not the same. I got this through my own efforts.”
Juliet pulled him over to the door and took his hand in hers as she registered his fingerprint on the digital lock.
“From now on, this will be your home too.”
His wife’s eyes had shone like stars at the time, and all he could see in them was his own reflection.
“I should’ve complimented her. It’s an amazing feat for a young woman to buy her first property through her own efforts. Why didn’t I compliment her?”
There was a beep, and the door opened. His memories disappeared instantly, and the touch of metal pulled him back to reality.
Asher pushed the door open and went straight to the bedroom.
Moonlight leaked in through a gap in the curtains. His beautiful, gentle wife was asleep, her long hair spread over the pillow. She looked perfectly calm.
Asher’s eyes turned dark. He bent over and pressed his hot lips on hers without thinking.
Juliet awoke in fright from the sudden weight and invasion. The sharp smell of alcohol filled her nostrils, and her stomach churned at once.
“Aargh! Who are you? Get away!”
She pushed him away with all her strength, as if something filthy was touching her.
She stumbled as she got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, where she began retching violently over the toilet bowl.
Asher stumbled backward, and he turned on the lights, looking menacing.
He walked over to the bathroom and felt his anger flare up when he saw her leaning against the wall, looking very pale.

“Do you hate me that much, Juliet? Does it disgust you that much when I touch you?”
Juliet raised her wet face and stared at his reflection in the mirror with an icy look in her That’s right! Asher, you disgust me right now. What right do you have to
“What right?” He stepped closer, towering over her. “I’m your husband!”
“Things are over between us.” She walked right past him without arguing.

into my home?
Asher thought that she was going to give him the cold shoulder again, but he was ready to stay. “I won’t go. You’re my wife, and this is my
home!”
He went over and put his arms around Juliet, who still looked angry. “Don’t you want a baby, Juliet? I won’t go anywhere this time.”
A look of scorn crossed Juliet’s face. When she had wanted to try for a baby, he was often called away by Evangeline at night.
He also had to make time to entertain clients for work, which was why they hadn’t even managed to sleep together once a month.
“If you want a baby, make Evangeline give you one.” Juliet pushed him away and took out her phone. She tapped on the app for her digital door lock and did something quickly.
Asher heard the phone say: “The fingerprint belonging to ‘Honey’ has been deleted.”
Had she just deleted the record of his fingerprint? Asher looked shocked and humiliated. ” What are you doing, Juliet?”
Juliet pressed the numbers 911.
Asher’s eyes widened, and he looked grim.
“Hello, a drunk man barged into my home. Please come and deal with him.’
“Have you gone crazy?” Asher stepped forward to try and snatch her phone away, but she dodged him nimbly.
“No, I’m not.” Juliet hung up and backed away to the door. “Asher, if you don’t leave now, it’s going to look bad when the police get here.”
“Do you
think that will scare me?” He scoffed. “Would you actually let the police arrest me?”
“Try me.” Juliet opened the door and gestured for him to leave.
Asher stood where he was, his chest heaving violently.
