In Asher's room, Roxana was still sulking, but nevertheless she still sat on the bed and stare at Asher casually who eas standing in front of her.
Asher perceived her silenced and speak softly, "First of all, let me clarify you clearly.There's nothing between me and Maia. I know you're still furious about her."
Roxana instantly scoffed upon hearing his words. That woman Maia obviously interrupted Asher when they were in ap call. Yet, he seem oblivious to it.
Asher ignored her and speak in a serious monotone, "Secondly, I'll be away for a while. So, if someone ever approach you under the pretext to divulge you about me, instantly inform Rian. He will deal with it."
Roxana perceived his solemn expression and realised he was in earnest about his words.
"But, why would someone approach me?" Roxana asked in confusion.
Asher steadily put the strands of her hair behind her ears and softly utter, "I have enemies, Roxana, and they are utterly ruthless."
To Asher, Roxana is fragile like a glass, if you drop the glass to the ground, it will instantly shattered, the same goes to Roxana, if his own kind ever get hold of her, they'll shattered and shred her into pieces.
He's terrified to even think about it.
He fear of losing her. The light to his darkness, his sole reason to live this dark world.
She's his whole world. Without her, his life will be meaningless.
He slowly bend down toward her as he cradled her face and speak earnestly, "I've never fear of anything in my life, but I fear of losing you, Roxana."
He continues, "Promise me, you'll do as I told you."
Roxana nodded in perplexed, as she grasped his words. Although she's confused, nevertheless she knew that he's saying for her own good.
"Where are you going?" she then asked him.
"Malli," he told her.
"Malli? I've never heard of it, " Roxana voice out in perplexed.
"The place my family are having vacation, I'll bring you there in the future," said Asher.
"Oh" Roxana nodded, but then suddenly turned her face to Asher and utter, "But, why didn't you go together with your family."
Asher smirk at Roxana, as if she's asking the obvious, however he still response to her, "It's because I had to coaxed a certain someone."
Upin hearing his words, it instantly brought a bashful smile on her face and nodded her head in agreement.
Asher smile in contented and steadily and gently kiss her forehead.
"My baby," he commented and thereafter Roxana instantly blushed and put her arns around his waist and straddled him in embarrassment.
"Your mom seem like a sweet person, " Roxana spoke after a while and look up into his eyes.
"She is the best mom I could've ever asked for," Asher remarked.
"Hmmm," Roxana nodded sadly thinking of her own mother.
"You should sleep, Roxana," Asher said seeing her gloomy face.
"Can I hug you to sleep?" Roxana asked Asher, to which he instantly nodded.

Meanwhile, in the other part of the city, a man in a black hoodie and a baseball cap swiftly run in a flash through the dimly street and immediately halted his steps in a narrow alley, where a man in an overcoat with a fedora hat on his head while standing aloof with his back on the wall.
"We'll execute the plan tomorrow," the man declared.
"Okay, " said the hooded man.
"I'm going to make Asher Shyne slowly sufffer in despair, just like the way he make me suffered." The man spoke with hatred laced in his voice.
"I don't care about your hatred, but the person I want is Asher Shyne himself," the hooded man remarked.
"Of course," the man nodded.
