Chapter 6 Asher's P.O.V

It was all over, everything seemed to have fallen away. The least I cared about right now was spending the night with my supposed wife whose presence just infuriated me. I just needed a drink and more drinks to clear my head, and maybe meeting Scarlett might be helpful. I just could not handle being at home with Arabella, she has been nothing more than a pain in the neck. I staggered to where my car keys were and I took my car keys, then I met Miss Thompson, I just wasn't ready for her poke nosy.

" What is wrong Asher, you have been acting strangely ever since you came. She asked, I could hear from her voice that she was concerned but I wasn't ready to take any lectures, especially from a housekeeper.

"Can you please stop all these questions and do what you fucking employed to do, stop acting like my mom, I don't even know who gave you the right to act like my mom, always concerned about my life more than what you are paid to do," I said angrily with my tone raised a little, as I smashed a vase, I could see her shock expression, she held her chest with her right hand, she was shocked by my outburst.

" dammit," I said while walking away, I could barely control the tears from falling, I was a little sober and right now, I just needed to drink and forget my problems then maybe think properly tomorrow, maybe apologize to Miss Thompson, I shouldn't have talked to her like that, she was just trying to be helpful.

Right now none of this was my major problem, I entered my car as I drove past the reporters that came my way, I was ready to hit any of them who tried to block my way with their questions.

I arrived at Lunar's pub, where Scarlet worked. She worked as a pub attendant and a strip dancer. The pub was full today with people, so she was busy. I made my way to my VIP seat, catching the manager's eye as I settled in. I have been his most regular customer because of Scarlet, he already knew why I was here.

"Please can you help me bring Scarlet over?" I asked, my voice loud as I could barely hear myself.

The manager nodded, he was called the Big boss "Right away, sir. She has been running non-stop tonight, as she has been in high demand lately, but for you, I can bring her with no reservation, as far as you give us a big tip sir, just as usual." he said with a grin on his face, which made his mustache stand out and made his face look disfigured.

" Sure thing," I said while I dropped a few thousand bucks on the table, which he took and proceeded to bring her.

While waiting for her, I ordered my usual whiskey on the rocks and waited, my eyes scanning the crowded room for a glimpse of her. Finally, she came after ten minutes of waiting, she came towards me with a wide smile on her face, I could see she was very exhausted.

" What's up with this look?" she asked as she took her seat and caressed my legs with her hands slowly, which had a way of calming me, I enjoyed her hands around my legs.

" I hope you know this is a pub and not where you rich people come to drown in your sorrows, right now people can look at you and feel you are carrying the weight of Birmingham's problems on your shoulder " she scoffed.

"And that is why I came here, for you to show me the reason why people come to the pub," I said with a smirk, as I drew her closer to me trying to feel the closeness of her body.

" Why not stay with your wife, then me? I believe you just got married today, so why do you look like you got a life sentence rather than a happy ending to your love life?" she said, I knew she was taunting me, and she slowly caressed my chest.

I rolled my eyes and said," I believe you know the answer to this question and do not want to talk about my marriage right now, I have more pressing matters to attend to."

I paused trying to arrange my words, for I knew she would taunt me more if I told her about I.A.S, but I decided to try my luck.

"My business is crumbling, the investment I made at I.A.S is all gone," I said.

" That serves you right, you barely listened to me when I told you not to invest, you acted high and mighty, that you were sure of it and what does a strip dancer know about business, isn't that what you said?" she asked with a scoffed as she removed her hands away from mine.

" I really did not want all this blame game, right now," I said.

" Maybe coming here was the wrong option," I said as I tried to get up but she held my hands, urging me to sit down.

"Can't you take a joke?" she asked, "you always get angry easily over trivial matters" she said.

" Right now, I just need you, all of you. I prefer you in my home rather than my arranged wife who barely has a voice of her own and her beauty is nothing compared to yours" I whispered in her ears.

" You are back to your lame talk, let's just enjoy the moment, shall we? She asked as she got up and stripped and danced for me on a pole, while I drank to a stupor, enjoying her view. The way she twisted her waist round the pole and stripped. I was so caught up with the way she swayed her body and gestured toward me that I barely even noticed how much I had drunk.

As the night slowly wore out, I started to feel the effects of the drinks I had drank. My vision became blurry, and my head began to spin, as I struggled to keep my gaze on Scarlet's everything around me became so blurry and all I could remember thinking was that she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, how I would make her my wife, and then...nothing, I lost consciousness of my surroundings.

The next thing I knew was that I woke up on a bed, with a strong headache as my memories were a bit hazy. It took me a moment before I could fully get myself, I looked around, trying to know where I was and then I saw her, Scarlet, lying next to me, with her face looking so peaceful and innocent as she slept, she was naked and so was I. I had no idea what had happened the night before and how I ended up on her bed but I enjoyed staring at her. Before my ringtone interrupted me, it was Arlo calling, I knew he had found out about the investment I made to I.A.S.
