Chapter 64

Asher's POV.

I dropped her hands instantly. 

She was forcing me to do something that is not truly in tune with I wanted. That was the first red flag in this commitment and I was not going to be a fool to fall into her traps. 

If she was looking for a man that she could easily put under her feet and get away with it she had gotten the wrong person because I was going to fight tooth and nail for my freedom. 

"Take your sorry self to your mother. I'm sure she put you up to this but you have failed woefully. My offer still stands. If you cannot do what I have said so far, you can kindly get away. I'm sure that it has never killed anyone, right?" I dropped her hand and walked away from her presence. 

Something was not right and I need it to figure it out instead of sitting around here and exchanging words that probably made no sense to any of us. 

We were fighting against the same thing but she was trying to act like the victim when she was the one who threw herself at me. 

She grabbed my hand stopping me from leaving, which was quite annoying because I hated personal touches and she knew this. 

I would have taken this up a notch but I refused to allow myself to descend to that level. 

She wanted respect and she was going to get it. 

"You wanted me from the moment I set foot into this place but now that I demand for it it becomes a problem because you have seen lady Melody. Do I have the right to say that you do not even know the first thing about what you want and you would push and wail as if someone is the cause of your problems." I stared at her pathetic self. 

She expected sympathy when she had not given herself any and expected that I would give her any form of grace when she had not even proven herself to be worthy. 

"What do you want me to do to receive so much from you? I have done everything that you've asked of me. My father has also done everything that you have asked for that has proved not to be enough and I wonder why!" She cried in frustration. 

I wouldn't be surprised if she was this emotional because she believed that I was having an affair with Lady Melody. 

"Do you know that lady melody is one of the people that I respect so much because she would never throw herself at a man and then demand excessive things from them but pretend like she is not after the money she can get." I ensured that it penetrated through her thick skin. 

Isabella moved away from me and sneered. "That lady is in no way better than I am. I might have fallen short most times, yet, I have done what not everyone would do. I have sacrificed myself just to please you. You do not think that I have done enough and that's on you not me."

I had never raised my hand on any woman but she was pushing me to the limits. 

"Let's see how far you get with this newly found confidence of yours and then we can compare it to the standard. Lady melody has and is more than you can ever become, so that accounts for a lot." I decided to challenge her just to see how far she was going to prove to herself that she was better than another woman. 

"Do you know what makes Lady Melody even more attractive than probably letting herself go? It is the fact that she would never compare herself to a loser. She would instead stand on the point where she has everything under control." I added. 

There were many things that she needed and that included having confidence to stand in the presence of people and address them. 

She was only good for the bed but not for weighty matters, even if she thought that she was good enough I was going to knock her down many steps 

"I am going to prove to you that that lady is not better than I am."

I shrugged carelessly, "I would not have expected anything that I have from you but you have always proved me right so that's a win. I don't care how long it takes for you to understand that I will never be in love with you. This is a business transaction and nothing more."

"You are supposed to be my mate!" She cried out and I wondered how I even ended up in this situation being with such a pathetic loser who couldn't see that the world had left her behind and was still clinging onto scraps. 

"Take this advice from me and we would not have any issues. You cannot stop me from doing whatever I want, I do not want you, your father begged so hard to get me over here, so you better be grateful whenever you have the chance to speak to me because it doesn't come cheap." I stated clearly, before walking away. 

I was tense. I needed to release some tension. That was why I sought her out. Yet she still proved to me why I was very angry with this mating in the first place. 

"I hope you are ready for me because you are going to regret ever pushing me away. It's not something that I take kindly, I hope you are aware of that?" She called after me.

As soon as I stepped out I bumped into the person that I would never have imagined would be lurking outside. 

Lady Melody. 

Her eyes darted from one place to the other, yet maintained a positive demeanor. 

"Oh, that's right. I was trying to get in touch with your fiancee. It seems you were having a problem back there." She decided to call me out. 

Only a fool will think that she was asking simply because she truly cared about bonding. 

“Why are you here?”
