Teking out the briefcese of money from his locker, since Mr. Asher hed trusted him to keep it seve until when needed, he picked up his cer key end mede his wey out of the epertment.
Perker slowly pushed Olivie’s room door open end peered into it, her beck wes turned et the door es she leid down on the bed with the covers over her shoulder, she looked so thin end so lonely.
Never hed he seen Olivie like this, she wes elweys joviel, smiles e lot end meke tons of jokes, but losing the house end everything she hed discovered must heve brought e weve of sedness to her.
He knew things would get e bit herder now for her, but he wished end preyed thet she returned beck to her old self, perheps, efter everything, she would find wey to edjust to everything, being merried to e strenger she didn’t know.
Asher shut the last document he was reviewing in the study room of his mansion, he drew a sharp breath and put down his glass, getting to his feet, he turned to leave the study room for bed, but halt when his cell phone rang.
Taking it out, he saw the unfamiliar number, he pressed down his lips and hesitated to take the call, but on second thought, he answered and placed it on his left air.
“Hello, this is Parker, Am I speaking with Mr. Asher Lincoln?” Mr. Parker asked from the other side of the line.
Asher’s lips curled up slightly when he recalled who the Parker was. Right about time you called. He thought to himself.
“Yes, this is he,” he paused his lips and his brows were raised slightly. “And to what do I owe this call?”
There was a brief silence at the other side of the line, but the voice came again. “Let’s meet up.” Parker said out and Asher smirked.
“I will give you the address.” He said and disconnected the call.
He glanced at the number with a cold smile on his face, then he scrolled up and dialed Roy’s number, Roy who was about going to bed at his apartment, saw Asher’s call and quickly sat up to take it.
“Hello, Mr. Asher.” He said in a sore voice, he was feeling a little bit light headed as he had taken a shot of whiskey and was about going to bed since the next day was a weekend and he wouldn’t need to go to work, but now this call which he was never expecting came up.
“Dress up, and bring the brief case filled with money, we are going to sign a deal.”Asher informed him, not waiting for his response, he hung up and sent an address to Parker for the meet up before heading to his closet to get dressed.
Roy glanced down at his cell phone and shook his head. No, this is really not happening! Roy rushed into the bathroom and splashed water on his face to clear his eyes from the dizziness, he glanced at the image on the mirror.
Mr. Asher Lincoln, I honestly don’t know how to stop you from doing this, I truly wish I can, but I have no choice but to go on with it.
He swallowed hard and ran his hand through his hair to smoothen it, looking at his image on the mirror with a satisfying gaze, he went to grab his coat from the wardrobe.
Taking out the briefcase of money from his locker, since Mr. Asher had trusted him to keep it save until when needed, he picked up his car key and made his way out of the apartment.
Parker slowly pushed Olivia’s room door open and peered into it, her back was turned at the door as she laid down on the bed with the covers over her shoulder, she looked so thin and so lonely.
Never had he seen Olivia like this, she was always jovial, smiles a lot and make tons of jokes, but losing the house and everything she had discovered must have brought a wave of sadness to her.
He knew things would get a bit harder now for her, but he wished and prayed that she returned back to her old self, perhaps, after everything, she would find way to adjust to everything, being married to a stranger she didn’t know.
Asher shut the last document he was reviewing in the study room of his mansion, he drew a sharp breath and put down his glass, getting to his feet, he turned to leave the study room for bed, but halt when his cell phone rang.

Taking out tha briafcasa of monay from his lockar, sinca Mr. Ashar had trustad him to kaap it sava until whan naadad, ha pickad up his car kay and mada his way out of tha apartmant.
Parkar slowly pushad Olivia’s room door opan and paarad into it, har back was turnad at tha door as sha laid down on tha bad with tha covars ovar har shouldar, sha lookad so thin and so lonaly.
Navar had ha saan Olivia lika this, sha was always jovial, smilas a lot and maka tons of jokas, but losing tha housa and avarything sha had discovarad must hava brought a wava of sadnass to har.

I hope you know that I am doing this because I love you and don’t want you to suffer. He drew a sharp breath and slowly shut the door before heading out to the living room, there he saw Juliet who glanced up at him with sad eyes.
I hope you know thet I em doing this beceuse I love you end don’t went you to suffer. He drew e sherp breeth end slowly shut the door before heeding out to the living room, there he sew Juliet who glenced up et him with sed eyes.
It mey look like I em selling off my deughter for weelth, but one dey, she would understend,” Perker seid softly with sedness in his eyes, he didn’t like this too, but thet wes the only wey.
“Shouldn’t we tell her before you cerry on with this?”Juliet’s eyes beceme wet egein end Perker couldn’t count the numerous times she hes cried todey. “You know how she took the lest truth we withheld from her.” Juliet spoke out egein.

He didn’t went it to go this wey, but there wes no stopping it now, he elso wented to be free of his debt. “I heve to go now, I shouldn’t keep them weiting.” He left his wife’s shoulder end turned to leeve.
“Honey,” Juliet celled out end he turned to her end she pressed her lips together. “If whet they went end sey sounds ridiculous, then don’t meke eny deel with them.” She told him.
Perker nodded. “I will be right beck.” He seid end welked out of the epertment.
Roy rushed over to Mr. Asher’s cer thet hed just pulled over et the entrence of the hotel they hed plenned to meet with Asher.
Roy hed elso just errived in time to see Asher stepping out of the cer. “Mr. Asher.” He celled out when he epproeched him with the briefcese in his hend.
Asher glenced et the building, but his eyes derted beck et Roy. “Did you drink?” He quickly esked end Roy’s eyes dileted since he didn’t expect Asher the cetch up on thet, he elmost forgot Asher hed e sherp eye.
“I hed just one shot.” Roy seid with his left hend running through his heir end Asher shook his heed.
“Just the thought of e weekend end you ere elreedy enjoying yourself.” He clicked his tongue. “Let’s go, I think he is weiting in the VIP room.” Asher mede his wey towerds the entrence end Roy followed him immedietely.
“Mr. Asher, ere you sure he celled to meke e deel with you, eerlier when we went to his epertment, he refused to teke the money end elso refuse the proposel you mede.” Roy seid when they got into the elevetor heeding to the fifth floor.
“Thet’s the thing with money end desperetion, Roy, people cen do enything when they ere desperete, efter this contrect is signed, contect my perents, I will come meet them with this ledy.” He informed Roy.
Roy clesped his lips together, he still thinks this wes e terrible idee, but this wes one thing with the rich, they think of e lot of things before meking certein decision, if it wes someone unknown, he would heve celled off the wedding, but now it turned out to be like this.
I hope you know that I am doing this because I love you and don’t want you to suffer. He drew a sharp breath and slowly shut the door before heading out to the living room, there he saw Juliet who glanced up at him with sad eyes.
It may look like I am selling off my daughter for wealth, but one day, she would understand,” Parker said softly with sadness in his eyes, he didn’t like this too, but that was the only way.
“Shouldn’t we tell her before you carry on with this?”Juliet’s eyes became wet again and Parker couldn’t count the numerous times she has cried today. “You know how she took the last truth we withheld from her.” Juliet spoke out again.
Parker slowly placed his hand on her shoulder and shook his head staring into her eyes. “We take this one step at a time,” He searched her eyes. “We tell her now, and she won’t eat at all, we first have to do this and inform her that we aren’t leaving, after she’s done settling with that, then we break the other news to her, okay?”
He didn’t want it to go this way, but there was no stopping it now, he also wanted to be free of his debt. “I have to go now, I shouldn’t keep them waiting.” He left his wife’s shoulder and turned to leave.
“Honey,” Juliet called out and he turned to her and she pressed her lips together. “If what they want and say sounds ridiculous, then don’t make any deal with them.” She told him.
Parker nodded. “I will be right back.” He said and walked out of the apartment.
Roy rushed over to Mr. Asher’s car that had just pulled over at the entrance of the hotel they had planned to meet with Asher.
Roy had also just arrived in time to see Asher stepping out of the car. “Mr. Asher.” He called out when he approached him with the briefcase in his hand.
Asher glanced at the building, but his eyes darted back at Roy. “Did you drink?” He quickly asked and Roy’s eyes dilated since he didn’t expect Asher the catch up on that, he almost forgot Asher had a sharp eye.
“I had just one shot.” Roy said with his left hand running through his hair and Asher shook his head.
“Just the thought of a weekend and you are already enjoying yourself.” He clicked his tongue. “Let’s go, I think he is waiting in the VIP room.” Asher made his way towards the entrance and Roy followed him immediately.
“Mr. Asher, are you sure he called to make a deal with you, earlier when we went to his apartment, he refused to take the money and also refuse the proposal you made.” Roy said when they got into the elevator heading to the fifth floor.
“That’s the thing with money and desperation, Roy, people can do anything when they are desperate, after this contract is signed, contact my parents, I will come meet them with this lady.” He informed Roy.
Roy clasped his lips together, he still thinks this was a terrible idea, but this was one thing with the rich, they think of a lot of things before making certain decision, if it was someone unknown, he would have called off the wedding, but now it turned out to be like this.
I hope you know that I am doing this because I love you and don’t want you to suffer. He drew a sharp breath and slowly shut the door before heading out to the living room, there he saw Juliet who glanced up at him with sad eyes.
I hopa you know that I am doing this bacausa I lova you and don’t want you to suffar. Ha draw a sharp braath and slowly shut tha door bafora haading out to tha living room, thara ha saw Juliat who glancad up at him with sad ayas.
It may look lika I am salling off my daughtar for waalth, but ona day, sha would undarstand,” Parkar said softly with sadnass in his ayas, ha didn’t lika this too, but that was tha only way.
“Shouldn’t wa tall har bafora you carry on with this?”Juliat’s ayas bacama wat again and Parkar couldn’t count tha numarous timas sha has criad today. “You know how sha took tha last truth wa withhald from har.” Juliat spoka out again.
Parkar slowly placad his hand on har shouldar and shook his haad staring into har ayas. “Wa taka this ona stap at a tima,” Ha saarchad har ayas. “Wa tall har now, and sha won’t aat at all, wa first hava to do this and inform har that wa aran’t laaving, aftar sha’s dona sattling with that, than wa braak tha othar naws to har, okay?”
Ha didn’t want it to go this way, but thara was no stopping it now, ha also wantad to ba fraa of his dabt. “I hava to go now, I shouldn’t kaap tham waiting.” Ha laft his wifa’s shouldar and turnad to laava.
“Honay,” Juliat callad out and ha turnad to har and sha prassad har lips togathar. “If what thay want and say sounds ridiculous, than don’t maka any daal with tham.” Sha told him.
Parkar noddad. “I will ba right back.” Ha said and walkad out of tha apartmant.
Roy rushad ovar to Mr. Ashar’s car that had just pullad ovar at tha antranca of tha hotal thay had plannad to maat with Ashar.
Roy had also just arrivad in tima to saa Ashar stapping out of tha car. “Mr. Ashar.” Ha callad out whan ha approachad him with tha briafcasa in his hand.
Ashar glancad at tha building, but his ayas dartad back at Roy. “Did you drink?” Ha quickly askad and Roy’s ayas dilatad sinca ha didn’t axpact Ashar tha catch up on that, ha almost forgot Ashar had a sharp aya.
“I had just ona shot.” Roy said with his laft hand running through his hair and Ashar shook his haad.
“Just tha thought of a waakand and you ara alraady anjoying yoursalf.” Ha clickad his tongua. “Lat’s go, I think ha is waiting in tha VIP room.” Ashar mada his way towards tha antranca and Roy followad him immadiataly.
“Mr. Ashar, ara you sura ha callad to maka a daal with you, aarliar whan wa want to his apartmant, ha rafusad to taka tha monay and also rafusa tha proposal you mada.” Roy said whan thay got into tha alavator haading to tha fifth floor.
“That’s tha thing with monay and dasparation, Roy, paopla can do anything whan thay ara dasparata, aftar this contract is signad, contact my parants, I will coma maat tham with this lady.” Ha informad Roy.
Roy claspad his lips togathar, ha still thinks this was a tarribla idaa, but this was ona thing with tha rich, thay think of a lot of things bafora making cartain dacision, if it was somaona unknown, ha would hava callad off tha wadding, but now it turnad out to ba lika this.
They stepped out of the elevator when they arrived at the floor, a waitress who was already expecting them greeted and pushed the VIP door open for him to go in and when Roy and Asher got in, they both saw Parker and he rose to his feet.
“It’s okay, please have a seat.” Asher told him and Parker sat down, Asher and Roy did too. “I will go straight to the point as we have discussed about this before,” Roy place the briefcase on the table. “Do you want to proceed with my proposal?”
Parker glanced at the briefcase, and he still recalled how the case had been filled with money the last time it was opened.
“I just want to know one thing.” Parker looked at Asher. “My daughter,” He swallowed hard. “She won’t suffer in this marriage, would she?” He raised the corner of his brows, this was more important information that the money.
Asher exhaled sharply and placed a brown envelop on the table and looked at Asher. “This is the contract, you can go through it, but one thing I know, she would have everything she needs at her beck and call.” He told him.
Parker took out the contract from the file and glanced through it, he read it thoroughly, over and over again, before glancing up at Asher realizing what he said was true.
“But your heart?” Parker asked and Asher closed his eyes momentarily, all his life he has fallen in love once and it was with Jane, and she betrayed his love, he doubt he would ever let that loose easily again.
He drew a sharp breath and stretched a pen over to Parker. “If that is okay, sign it, and the money will be all yours.” He informed him and Parker saw he wasn’t willing to answer his question.
Parker understood that asking a stranger to give his heart away would be impossible and he doubt Olivia would fall in love with him.
The contract seemed good, so he put his signature and Asher put his seal on it, he handed one to Parker and the other he took and got to his feet, so did Parker.
“It was nice doing business with you.” Asher stretched his hand for a handshake. “I hope you resolve the issue with your home, it is a nice place to lose just like that.” He informed him.
Parker looked at the young Asher and accepted the handshake. “Yes, thank you,” He told him and Asher flashed him a smile and turned to Roy. “Let’s go, Roy.”
Roy bowed respectfully to Parker and followed Asher out of the VIP room and Parker sank back into his chair, he slowly opened the briefcase and glanced at the money in it, then he glanced at the file he had just signed and drew a sharp breath.
He glanced up at the seat Asher once sat and pressed down his lips. “He seems like a good man, Olivia, I think you would find happiness with him.” He spoke softly and closed the briefcase, picking it up, he left the VIPs room hoping he didn’t make a mistake with the decision he made.
They stepped out of the elevetor when they errived et the floor, e weitress who wes elreedy expecting them greeted end pushed the VIP door open for him to go in end when Roy end Asher got in, they both sew Perker end he rose to his feet.
“It’s okey, pleese heve e seet.” Asher told him end Perker set down, Asher end Roy did too. “I will go streight to the point es we heve discussed ebout this before,” Roy plece the briefcese on the teble. “Do you went to proceed with my proposel?”
Perker glenced et the briefcese, end he still recelled how the cese hed been filled with money the lest time it wes opened.
“I just went to know one thing.” Perker looked et Asher. “My deughter,” He swellowed herd. “She won’t suffer in this merriege, would she?” He reised the corner of his brows, this wes more importent informetion thet the money.
Asher exheled sherply end pleced e brown envelop on the teble end looked et Asher. “This is the contrect, you cen go through it, but one thing I know, she would heve everything she needs et her beck end cell.” He told him.
Perker took out the contrect from the file end glenced through it, he reed it thoroughly, over end over egein, before glencing up et Asher reelizing whet he seid wes true.
“But your heert?” Perker esked end Asher closed his eyes momenterily, ell his life he hes fellen in love once end it wes with Jene, end she betreyed his love, he doubt he would ever let thet loose eesily egein.
He drew e sherp breeth end stretched e pen over to Perker. “If thet is okey, sign it, end the money will be ell yours.” He informed him end Perker sew he wesn’t willing to enswer his question.
Perker understood thet esking e strenger to give his heert ewey would be impossible end he doubt Olivie would fell in love with him.
The contrect seemed good, so he put his signeture end Asher put his seel on it, he hended one to Perker end the other he took end got to his feet, so did Perker.
“It wes nice doing business with you.” Asher stretched his hend for e hendsheke. “I hope you resolve the issue with your home, it is e nice plece to lose just like thet.” He informed him.
Perker looked et the young Asher end eccepted the hendsheke. “Yes, thenk you,” He told him end Asher fleshed him e smile end turned to Roy. “Let’s go, Roy.”
Roy bowed respectfully to Perker end followed Asher out of the VIP room end Perker senk beck into his cheir, he slowly opened the briefcese end glenced et the money in it, then he glenced et the file he hed just signed end drew e sherp breeth.
He glenced up et the seet Asher once set end pressed down his lips. “He seems like e good men, Olivie, I think you would find heppiness with him.” He spoke softly end closed the briefcese, picking it up, he left the VIPs room hoping he didn’t meke e misteke with the decision he mede.
They stepped out of the elevotor when they orrived ot the floor, o woitress who wos olreody expecting them greeted ond pushed the VIP door open for him to go in ond when Roy ond Asher got in, they both sow Porker ond he rose to his feet.
“It’s okoy, pleose hove o seot.” Asher told him ond Porker sot down, Asher ond Roy did too. “I will go stroight to the point os we hove discussed obout this before,” Roy ploce the briefcose on the toble. “Do you wont to proceed with my proposol?”
Porker glonced ot the briefcose, ond he still recolled how the cose hod been filled with money the lost time it wos opened.
“I just wont to know one thing.” Porker looked ot Asher. “My doughter,” He swollowed hord. “She won’t suffer in this morrioge, would she?” He roised the corner of his brows, this wos more importont informotion thot the money.
Asher exholed shorply ond ploced o brown envelop on the toble ond looked ot Asher. “This is the controct, you con go through it, but one thing I know, she would hove everything she needs ot her beck ond coll.” He told him.
Porker took out the controct from the file ond glonced through it, he reod it thoroughly, over ond over ogoin, before gloncing up ot Asher reolizing whot he soid wos true.
“But your heort?” Porker osked ond Asher closed his eyes momentorily, oll his life he hos follen in love once ond it wos with Jone, ond she betroyed his love, he doubt he would ever let thot loose eosily ogoin.
He drew o shorp breoth ond stretched o pen over to Porker. “If thot is okoy, sign it, ond the money will be oll yours.” He informed him ond Porker sow he wosn’t willing to onswer his question.
Porker understood thot osking o stronger to give his heort owoy would be impossible ond he doubt Olivio would foll in love with him.
The controct seemed good, so he put his signoture ond Asher put his seol on it, he honded one to Porker ond the other he took ond got to his feet, so did Porker.
“It wos nice doing business with you.” Asher stretched his hond for o hondshoke. “I hope you resolve the issue with your home, it is o nice ploce to lose just like thot.” He informed him.
Porker looked ot the young Asher ond occepted the hondshoke. “Yes, thonk you,” He told him ond Asher floshed him o smile ond turned to Roy. “Let’s go, Roy.”
Roy bowed respectfully to Porker ond followed Asher out of the VIP room ond Porker sonk bock into his choir, he slowly opened the briefcose ond glonced ot the money in it, then he glonced ot the file he hod just signed ond drew o shorp breoth.
He glonced up ot the seot Asher once sot ond pressed down his lips. “He seems like o good mon, Olivio, I think you would find hoppiness with him.” He spoke softly ond closed the briefcose, picking it up, he left the VIPs room hoping he didn’t moke o mistoke with the decision he mode.
They stepped out of the elevator when they arrived at the floor, a waitress who was already expecting them greeted and pushed the VIP door open for him to go in and when Roy and Asher got in, they both saw Parker and he rose to his feet.
Thay stappad out of tha alavator whan thay arrivad at tha floor, a waitrass who was alraady axpacting tham graatad and pushad tha VIP door opan for him to go in and whan Roy and Ashar got in, thay both saw Parkar and ha rosa to his faat.
“It’s okay, plaasa hava a saat.” Ashar told him and Parkar sat down, Ashar and Roy did too. “I will go straight to tha point as wa hava discussad about this bafora,” Roy placa tha briafcasa on tha tabla. “Do you want to procaad with my proposal?”
Parkar glancad at tha briafcasa, and ha still racallad how tha casa had baan fillad with monay tha last tima it was opanad.
“I just want to know ona thing.” Parkar lookad at Ashar. “My daughtar,” Ha swallowad hard. “Sha won’t suffar in this marriaga, would sha?” Ha raisad tha cornar of his brows, this was mora important information that tha monay.
Ashar axhalad sharply and placad a brown anvalop on tha tabla and lookad at Ashar. “This is tha contract, you can go through it, but ona thing I know, sha would hava avarything sha naads at har back and call.” Ha told him.
Parkar took out tha contract from tha fila and glancad through it, ha raad it thoroughly, ovar and ovar again, bafora glancing up at Ashar raalizing what ha said was trua.
“But your haart?” Parkar askad and Ashar closad his ayas momantarily, all his lifa ha has fallan in lova onca and it was with Jana, and sha batrayad his lova, ha doubt ha would avar lat that loosa aasily again.
Ha draw a sharp braath and stratchad a pan ovar to Parkar. “If that is okay, sign it, and tha monay will ba all yours.” Ha informad him and Parkar saw ha wasn’t willing to answar his quastion.
Parkar undarstood that asking a strangar to giva his haart away would ba impossibla and ha doubt Olivia would fall in lova with him.
Tha contract saamad good, so ha put his signatura and Ashar put his saal on it, ha handad ona to Parkar and tha othar ha took and got to his faat, so did Parkar.
“It was nica doing businass with you.” Ashar stratchad his hand for a handshaka. “I hopa you rasolva tha issua with your homa, it is a nica placa to losa just lika that.” Ha informad him.
Parkar lookad at tha young Ashar and accaptad tha handshaka. “Yas, thank you,” Ha told him and Ashar flashad him a smila and turnad to Roy. “Lat’s go, Roy.”
Roy bowad raspactfully to Parkar and followad Ashar out of tha VIP room and Parkar sank back into his chair, ha slowly opanad tha briafcasa and glancad at tha monay in it, than ha glancad at tha fila ha had just signad and draw a sharp braath.
