Chapter 186
Asher’s POV
Zendaya was quiet as we looked around while leaning over the car. I was still confused on why she would go in there by herself. That man had traumatized her enough. Why would she do what she did?
“What were you going in there for anyway?” I sighed. “What were you thinking?”
“You already know about my closure but somehow you’re still asking me what I’m thinking about.”
“To be fair, I was just speculating. That’s the only thing that I thought of. It was risky for you to be in that place with him and you know it. After what he put you through and even me.
“Did you think about that? We would not have been in a lot of messes if not for him.”
“I’m sorry,” she apologized but that was not enough.
“I was scared you were going to get abducted again when I heard that you had gone there to see Travis. I can’t imagine myself doing anything without you.
“I was scared you would get hurt. I didn’t want anything to happen to you. If you had gotten hurt, I would have lost it. You need to be more careful, baby. We’ve had enough trauma for a month, let’s not add to it.”
She shook her head before turning to look at me.
“I had nightmares about losing you the other night and I prayed for it to not be true. It was so real I had seen myself losing my mind but I didn’t want anything to happen to you. I just want you to be safe.
“Please stop running out there on your own. It’s dangerous. I need you, your children clearly need you. You aren’t just a tool you know, you’re more than that. You’re a mother and a wife as well.
“Don’t forget about us when you’re out there looking for closure. Or is closure more important than us? Tell me and let me know where I stand.”
She held my hands with her eyes tearing up. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that I was causing you so much pain like that. I thought everything was not going to be a big deal. I snuck off because I didn’t want you worrying but I was wrong to have done so.
“If you hadn’t entered the room, I don’t know what would have happened if that chain had cut loose. So I’m sorry for what happened. It won’t happen again.
“That is the last time I’ll go off doing that nonsense. I’m sorry. Will you ever forgive me for what I’ve done?”
“Of course you know I’d forgive you my love,” I said, kissing her before hugging her tightly in my arms. She was extremely important and I promised to spend every day of my life telling her how important she was to me.
“You know, instead of bothering ourselves with this conversation, we could talk about our wedding which is in two days time.”
This lifted my mood.
“Oh now you want to talk about our wedding huh?” I laughed.
“Yeah,” she laughed as I shook my head.
“Nah, let’s talk about Travis. Travis, where are you?!” I yelled as she playfully hit my chest.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“I love you,” she said, kissing me.

Wedding day!
***
On the day of the wedding, I woke up to see she was not in bed with me. She was somewhere in the mansion with her fellow girls preparing for the wedding.
This was going to be a great day, I could feel it. Getting up from the bed was such a hassle knowing how beautiful it was going to end. By the next morning I would be happily married and she would be my wife.
I had one bother. Delia. She was still out there missing. The cops had not found that crazy woman yet and I wondered how she was capable of evading the entire police department.
Maybe I could use Zendaya as bait but as usual I knew that it was risky. What if I was not fast enough in saving her? I would lose her and lose everything due to me being slow. That would lead to her death.
“No, that’s a risky plan,” I said to myself before getting to my feet. It was time to change into my suit and be on my way to the venue.
A knock was heard as the butler entered with my suit from the tailors.
“Your suit sir,” the man said before walking in to place it on his bed.
“Thank you so much,” I smiled at the old man.
“I have seen you get married twice now and this is the happiest that I’ve ever seen you,” the old man said.
He was right. I could feel momentous joy within me.
“Thank you,” was my response before he bowed and left me to bathe.
I finished up quickly, got into my suit and ran out to see the triplets already dressed in their white suits. They all looked amazing.
The security led me to the venue which was not that far but the convoy followed the car slowly to the front of the building.
I entered and was amazed by how beautiful the place was. The event planners really outdid themselves with this one.
I walked through the people who were already seated in their seats
When I reached the stage, everyone rose immediately as the music played.
That was when she appeared from the door looking as gorgeous as ever.
She walked down the aisle towards me, everything perfect, the air, the music, the scenery was beautiful.
It was almost like this was a movie. Nothing could ruin today for me.
However, that was not how it was about to go as Delia appeared out of nowhere with a gun in her hand.
“Happy wedding day,” she said, getting me to act fast.
She was with a gun pointed directly at Zendaya. It wasn’t for decoration. If I didn’t stop her now then…
