His Secret Obsession
Chapter 58

(Asher)

The fury and rage that I felt while watching Vince Prescott lashing out at his son roared inside of me,

nything I had ever felt. Time seemed to slow, my hand reached forward and pulled Carson back by his shirt, causing him to stumble while I swiftly took his place. Vince Prescott was no small man..having been a wide receiver in the NFL, he has kept up that physiqu

So taking a punch from the man with my already bruised face might not have been the smartest idea behind him.

I was pissed..no..beyond pissed..how could a man hit his own son? I never had a father figure after my "Asher stop!" Carson shouted, his arm reaching for me I tried to get his dad down to the floor. "Fucking bastard!" Vince yelled, causing me to slam my fist into his jaw, returning the favor. Just then there was a loud scream when the doors to the office flew open.

"Daddy! Get off him Asher!!" Mack yelled, looking on in horror as I glanced up, meeting Emery's gaze. T Suddenly Em's voice filled the room as she ran up to us.

"Asher!!" She shouted, her voice full of pure terror.

"Emery don't!" Carson shouted, trying to stop her as she struggled to get to us. What the hell was she "Stop! Please stop! You're going to kill him!" Her words pierced through the thick tension, breaking Vin The realization of how far he had gone making him stumble back as I gasped for air. I hadn't even real She was finally able to wriggle out of Carson's hold as she lunged for me, her body collapsing on the g "Are..are you okay?" She sobbed, her cheeks soaked with tears as she examined me carefully. "I'm fine baby." I whispered, my voice hoarse and my throat aching.

"I want you two out of that house by the end of the week. Leave the keys to the cars..I want you f***** (Emery)

eemed to have more muscle than most men his age.

estly..it f*****g fueled me. I lunged forward, his body already off balance from throwing his weight as I tackled him down, ramming him into a filing cabinet

ft..I was essentially abandoned but this shit is ten times worse than that. I almost felt lucky not to have a fucked up dad like this at that very moment.

in her eyes making me freeze and giving Vince the opportunity to overpower me and slam me onto the floor.

g?! She was going to get hurt!

of the trance he was in as he looked down at me with his hands wrapped around my throat.

was choking me...my eyes were focused solely on Emery as the adrenaline coursed through my veins. as her hands began to wander every inch of my chest and neck.

"Vince snapped, the back of his hand sliding across his mouth as he wiped the blood from his lip.

He was kicking Carson and Asher out of the house? What the hell was going on! I glanced at Carson, watching as Jackie examined him carefully.

Vince walked towards the door, his eyes glancing back one last time as he looked towards Carson with disgust.

"You are no longer welcome in this home..you are no son of mine..come on MacKenzie, let's go.." He said one last time, pulling Mack by the hand as she looked between us with confusion..her eyes locking onto my own before turning away and lowering her head. I stood slowly, feeling Asher grip my hand as I held it firmly and studied Carson carefully. He looked completely defeated and it killed me..

"Carson..You can stay with Dad and Uncle Jack." I said quickly, making him shake his head as I helped Asher to his feet.

"I can't put this burden on them." He said lowly, his eyes dark and far away.

"You are not a fucking burden! How can you even say something like that?!" I shouted, making everyone's eyes snap to me as I walked to Carson and took his hand before squeezing it gently.

"You are our family..we love you Carson..we love you more than anything." I choked out as a sob escaped me. I crashed into his side, my arms wrapping around his waist as far as they could. Suddenly I felt his body shaking, soft sobs leaving him as Jackie joined the hug.

"It's okay, everything is going to be okay." Jackie whispered, and that's when I felt Asher walk up behind me, his arms circled around us as he joined the hug.

"This place was never your home Carson..you know that. It's time you go to your real family." He stated, making me cry harder as Carson nodded his head..I have never seen him cry like this before, and it broke my heart in two. What type of hell has Carson had to endure?

"We love you..we are here for you." I nuzzled into Carson's chest as I felt Asher kiss the top of my head and place his mouth in the crook of my neck. I don't know how long we stood like this for, but by the time we pulled away...I was ready to get the hell out of this place. I would never be able to look at this house the same ever again..and after today, I knew Mack and I would never recover from this. Not this time..not after how she abandoned her brother..

"Come on, let's go home.." I spoke softly, looking up into Carson's soft blue eyes as he nodded his head and gave me a weak smile. I knew for a fact my Dad and Uncle Jack would be thrilled to have him..but when they replace out why he was moving in..I'm afraid of what they will do. It's time to bring Carson to a place where he is truly appreciated and loved..there is no going back now.
