Asher got up to leave her room and getting outside he met with Ian, "Anything you want to tell me?" He asked as he walked away from the man who had his head bowed.
"No, nothing, it's just that I came here to look if she's okay as she had fainted for over an hour now, would she be okay or should I call the doctor?" He asked.
"No she is fine, no need for the doctor" Asher responded, he halted in his place as he turned to look at the butler, "was anyone here apart from the maids, you, Alicia and I, did you meet with anyone?" He inquired as his eyes searched the butler's for an answer.
"No, I didn't" He lied conveniently while keeping his facial expression calm so that his master wouldn't be suspicious but as expected from his excellent master who was now walking towards him, "Is that a lie I hear from your mouth?" Asher asked again, the butler looked like he was hiding something and Asher wanted him to spit it out.
"No, I would never lie to you master, it's true that I didn't see or meet with anyone" He replied again with his calm and dull expression which made Asher chuckle and he wondered what was funny but a chill ran down his spine after he heard what his master said.
Asher cracked his knuckles as he glared at the man, "You know what I can do to you if I find out that you did lie, you of all people should know and I don't pity anyone even those close to me" He said before moving swiftly to start going but he paused again and turned towards the man making Ian's heart jump in fear but his face still revealed the calmness.
"Once she Is awake, tell her to come meet me in the library"
"Yes sir" The butler bowed his head.

Alicia woke up with hazy eyes as she got out of the bed to go to the door in search for Lisa, she had told the woman to leave the mansion for that time being so Asher wouldn't catch her and torture her, so walking away from her room, she couldn't see any sign if Lisa and It made her worried as to where the woman had gone to. She was searching the inside of the mansion and the outside but she still couldn't find her, crouching to the ground while she stared at the exterior decor of the mansion, she couldn't help but feel creepy. Was this the place a wedding was going to be held? just why did they pick here for the venue? not that she minded as it was none of her business but what would the guest feel if they were brought here.
She whipped her head to the back when she saw Ian walking towards her, "How are you doing miss?" He asked and Alicia nodded as she stood up while adjusting her clothes and dusting her body.
"I'm fine, you took care of me right? thanks" She thanked him but when she saw him shook his head, she guessed it was Lisa. But then, where was the woman! Alicia was frustrated that the woman was making her search for her everywhere.
"You seem to be looking for something, what is it so I can help you in finding it?" The man asked and Alicia gazed at him wondering if it was okay to ask if he came across Lisa in the house.
"I was looking for someone, did you see..." She trailed off when she saw the butler place his hands on his lips as he walked closer to her and leaned his ear so she could whisper it to him, he did that because his master had a very good hearing. He could pick up their conversation from here and Ian wasn't ready to be doomed.
"Lisa" She whispered into his ear.
"You mean lady Lisa, the mother of Asher?" He asked for him to see Alicia's eyes go wide in shock, the woman was Asher's mother? but how come she was hiding from her son? why couldn't she go to see him? no wonder why she was like- she had to be in the mansion were they having a feud? Alicia asked himself, that arrogant and spoilt brat was fighting with his mom now? was there anyone whom he didn't hate or he hasn't fought with? she asked herself again.
"Lisa the woman with the pair of blue eyes, she is beautiful and up to this height" she said using her hand to imitate the woman's height and the butler nodded and told her it was Asher's mother shocking Alicia to the core again after confirming it.
"she left saying she would be back on his wedding day" The butler responded to her question earlier making Alicia sigh in relief, she was somewhat happy that the woman was safe but she was angry, she felt decieved that the woman had bit reveal her real purpose of her coming here.
"Uhmm... do you mind if I ask you a question?" Alicia asked and the butler shook his head as he urged her to continue with what she wanted to ask.
"Are they not getting along well? I mean why is she hiding away from him?" She asked curiously, "Miss I think it's better if you put your nose out of that matter because some things are best not known and asked and if you wish to get your answer, you can hear it from the horse's mouth" he said jerking his head towards the window where Asher was standing and looking at them with that bored expression of his.
"The master asked you to meet him in his study, good day miss" He said and bowed his head before turning to leave her alone. Alicia stared at his back before sighing to herself, she scratched her hair as she looked around but then her eyes fell on asher who looked back at her with a brown raised. Bringing her hands to her side, she gave an ackward expression before dashing through the door to meet him.
