Stolen?

The next morning Dia woke up by a text,

Asher: "are you alright?"

If Dia was not fine until now she was surely better when she saw the message, blush creeps out of her neck, and then she replies,

Me: "yes,"

Asher: take two days off, I'll have someone cover your spot for the time being,"

Me: "thank you for everything,"

Asher: "sure, rest little birdie,"

Foreign feelings were rising in Dia's chest, she was unsure of what was happening to her. She realized she was falling for him, but she shouldn't. He had a gun pointed at her when she met him first and now he is texting her if she is fine or not. He shouldn't be like this, he shouldn't be so good to her.

The fact he is related to something dangerous from the underworld did not help at all to fall for him any less. He is a bad guy but she can't do anything, she has fallen for him. It will break her heart if he didn't catch her.

Meanwhile, Asher was not at all happy that he will not see Dia for another three or four days. What was this girl doing to him? She has put a spell on him but as long as he was liking it... it's good. The only thing which was stopping them to claim her as his own was his memory of his dead wife. She meant the world to him. Moving on was like betraying her. He can't figure out where this is going.

Dia got up from her bed to order food and she found a new woman sitting at the receptionist's place. She looked young and was smiling warmly at every person who was passing by not like the previous one. She went towards her to ask for something,

"Hey, could you please tell me where Miss Rose is?" she asked.

"hello there, I'm Ana. I'm so sorry to inform you that Miss Rose doesn't work here anymore, she got replaced," she said.

It instantly clicked that the other night she was cussing the old receptionist and Asher ousted her. Oh, this is getting better and better. Dia forgot what she was supposed to ask Ana, she returned to her room and took a pillow, shushed her head, and screamed. Asher removed Rose because of her.

Two days passed, and Dia returned to the office on the third day that is Thursday. She came in smiling all way not sure how she will face Asher after what he did for her.

Asher came in and his gaze fixed on Dia's cabin he saw she was sitting with her cute face and precious brunette eyes. It was nice having her back.

A couple of seconds there was a knock on the door, he allowed to come in, "Good Morning, Mr. Black here's your coffee," Dia said and Asher tried to be busy with a newspaper to not stare at her for too long, "Morning, how are you," he asked.

"I'm good, thanks," she said and informed two meetings he have today. He watched her go with her perfect back and curvy ass. For some reason, there was excitement to see her back to the work.

Two days passed it was Friday, "am I still watching over Jaxon?" Dia asked Asher. He wanted only her to watch over his son because Jaxon was excited as hell to meet her and play football again, "only if your cramps allow it, you don't have to," he said calmly keeping his hands on the table and staring at her.

"I'm completely fine, I'll be glad if you allow me to babysit him, he is a good kid," Dia said and hoping he won't deny her.

"He is, but don't you think you should make some of your age friends too," he asked. As he was still confused that she doesn't have any friends to look up to.

"I have Zed, he is a really good friend," Dia said in her defense. She was a highly sheepish person so making friends was not an easy task for her. She had friends in past but none of there stayed and she was good on her own.

It was evening, Asher motioned her to go wait in the car and she nodded.

All way she was serene, always looking out of the window which made Asher wonder what secret lay behind those pretty eyes.

"Miss Rose no longer works there," she said quietly. When Asher said that day that he has some work this was the work. He replaced the receptionist.

"I know," he said while steering, his veins were popping out which were making Dia feel something inside her core.

"did you do it?" she asked while playing with her fingers.

"well I run that place so yes, I did it," he responded.

"Why?" she asked while wetting her lips nervously. Asher looked at her for a couple of seconds and finally let out, "isn't that what you wanted?" she nodded and at this point, she forgot how to even form words. She couldn't believe he replaced Miss Rose for her.

Oh, please don't let it be a dream!

They reached his manse and hearing the screech of the car Jaxon came running to hug his daddy and Kit followed Jax.

"hey daddy," Jaxon said while smooching and holding Asher's face with his tiny palms. "hey, little man," he kissed back.

Jaxon saw Dia coming out, he waved a big 'hi' to her as well.

It was 5 o'clock and Asher had his meeting at 8 so he instantly went to freshen up to leave for his meeting with all the other six men from the underworld.

Jaxon shared some of her candies with Dia, he was so happy to have her. Asher called Jaxon,

"I'll be back soon, pumpkin," he said while kissing him. It was a whole different zone for Dia to see him like this, caring and soft for his little man.

"but it's so early, you said you'll play with me and Dia," Jaxon said to his father while holding his neck.

"I know, once I'll be back, I'll play with you,"

"promise?"

"promise," promised Asher and took his coat, "call me if you need anything," he said to Dia. Kit was already with his son all the time and nearly ten to fifteen guards were guarding the mansion so there was no way one could go in with bad intentions and come out in one piece.

He went to his private jet, and called Zed, "where the hell are you?" he asked his brother when he didn't find him and it was getting late for the meeting.

"what do you mean, I'm at your house," he said. "I hope you didn't forget about the meeting," said Asher almost shouting for anyone to lose his shit.

"oh man, did you see the message, it got delayed for the next Saturday,"

He checked and there was a message from Anteros which he missed when he was too busy drooling over Dia, this has to stop but his hands were tied as long as his son was happy with her. Deep down he wanted to be happy as well but can't, he can't betray someone who died for him.

He came back to his mansion, he didn't find Jaxon or Dia anywhere, only Zed was sitting on the big sofa.

"where's Jax?" asked Asher.

"somewhere happy with someone," he said in a joking tone.

"don't fuck with me, I'm the one who loves him the most," he retorted.

"dude relax, it's so easy fuck with you, Kit called me. Dia stole your Jaxon to the back of the mansion to play football."
