Jael was relieved that he had canceled all appointments for the day. After sending Caspian off, he went back down to the basement, cautiously stepping in.
Asher was still strapped down to the chair, so that was a good sign. The Alpha was flat-out pissed at him but Jael was only doing this for his own benefit.
"Where's Caspian?"
"He took the twenty-five million and agreed to leave," He lied easily, leaning against the heavy door.
Asher's eyes narrowed at that and he could tell the Alpha didn't believe him.
This was exactly why Jael needed to stop whatever was happening here before it became irreparable, they were already acting like they were bonded.
"I'm not going to ask again."
Jael gulped, he never went directly against Asher, this was the one exception. "I sent him off to a safe house for a few days."
Asher visibly relaxed at that answer, his head leaning against the backrest. "You can let me go now. I'm fine."
