Unlawful Affair With Asher Williams
Chapter 23

Adelie POV

"Wh... what... How did you get here?" I stutter as I stare at him, and sit up on the bed before he shrugs.

"I got home pretty fast. Like five minutes before you arrive. I decided to wait for you in your room. Did I startle you? I'm sorry about that, sweetheart," He smirks at me, and I gulp down nothing nervously.

"What are you doing in my room?" I ask him as I step back fearfully, but he only scoffs and stands up to his feet.

"What am I doing here? Is anything wrong with coming to my sister's room?" He asks me, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips, and I bite my lip.

"Uhm... Can you leave? I need to change my cloth," I say to him.

"No... Go ahead and change your clothes... I'm not looking," He utters before he giggles softly.

"My bad! I may decide to look at my sister's sexy body later. You can't really blame me for that, can you? I mean, you would also look if you were in my shoes, right?" He scrutinizes me with his eyes, biting his lip seductively. "Let's not do this now, Asher. I have a guest waiting for me downstairs," I plead with him.

"You can tell him to leave, sweetheart. I can give you a hundred folds of what he can't even give you. Why do you still need him?" He hushes as he starts walking closer to me, and I step back until my back crashes against the wall.

"I am more handsome than him... I have a perfect body... I'm jealous that he kissed you, and I haven't done that in a while. Tell me, does he make you feel the same way I make you feel? Do you enjoy being with him more than me?" He slams his hand beside me on the wall, while towering over me. "Asher..."

"Tell me, Adelie... Did you allow him to touch you even after all I told you? I'm sure you wouldn't want me to murder that bastard right there in the living room, yeah? I don't mind going to jail, you know?" He hushes as he raises my head to look at him, his eyes piercing into mine.

"I told you, Adelie... You are my woman, and I wouldn't have any other man touch you. Did he touch you?" He asks for the second time, and I gulp down the sudden lump that forms in my throat. My heart flee from its spot, and I'm sure it must've been stuck in my throat now because I'm replaceing it difficult to breathe comfortably.

"N... no... He... he did... n't," Tears stream down my cheeks as I stutter, and he finally pulls away from me.

"Now, you're making me feel like a bad person. Wipe your tears and stop being like that, sweetheart. I'll wait for you in the living room... With your boyfriend," He says to me, emphasizing on 'boyfriend'. He finally pulls the door open, and strides out of my room, slamming the door hard behind him.

Releasing the breath I've been holding unknowingly, I run my fingers through my hair as I fall on my butt, and bury my face between my knees, crying my eyes out. Should I just speak up about the way my brother is harassing me? What if nobody believes me? What if they say that I'm losing my mind? What if they say that... Just what if... I fucking don't know what to think anymore. I don't just know what to do. I don't know if I should keep enduring this till he finally does the worse, or if I should just run away from here and never come back.

I manage to stand up to my feet, dragging myself sluggishly into the bathroom to have my bath, which lasted for twenty minutes, and I wear something casual before I went downstairs to join Raymond and everyone.

"I was about to come check on you. What took you so long?" Mom asks as soon as I arrive at the dining room.

"Nothing. My water system broke, so I had to fix it," I lie to her as I pull out a chair to sit on.

"Are you ok? Did you get hurt?" Raymond asks with concern resounding in his voice, and I glance at him.

"Hmm... I'm fine," I nod my head.

"Raymond is really fun to spend time with. I think I like him," Dad says to me, and I smile at him faintly. "Thank you, Sir," Raymond replies to dad with a sweet smile on.

"So, Asher... What do you think about your sister's boyfriend?" Mom suddenly asks Asher and shit! She shouldn't have done that. I glance at him, and as expected, he's staring at me with a blank expression on his face. "Adelie... Can any man ever love you the way I do?" Not again, please.

"Come on, Asher... You are my brother, and Raymond is my boyfriend. I know you love me, and Raymond can't possibly love me the way you do, but I promise you that he really does," I intertwine my fingers with Raymond's, and I bet the rage in his eyes can send anyone to their early grave.

"Let's see how long this lasts," He says while having a smirk dancing around his lips, and my heart sinks into my stomach.

"What do you mean?" Mom and dad ask at the same time, but he tilts his head to look at them with a creepy smile on.

"Come on, mom, dad, I was only joking around with her," He rolls his eyes, and they both smile. I'm sure they won't even smile at him if only they know the kind of devil they are calling their son.

"Excuse me," He drops his cutlery, then stands up and walks away, ignoring dad who keeps calling him.

"What's wrong with him? Is he not happy to see me?" Raymond asks me in a whisper as soon as Asher is out of sight, and I scoff.

"You worry too much. I think he's having a mood swing or something of such. He's usually like that," I reply to him, and he slowly nods his head.

"Sweetie, why don't you go talk to your brother? He shouldn't be like that in the presence of our guest," My mom suggests, and my eyes widen. What! "Mom..."

"Your mom is right. You should do that," Ray chips in before I can continue, and I slowly nod my head. They are sending me into the lion's den, but it's pathetic that I can't even say no.

Leaving the dining room, I head to his room where I'm sure he must be.

"Asher... It's me. Can we talk, please?" I place knock on his door when I get there, but he ignores me.

"Asher... Can you..." My voice trails off when the door suddenly bursts open, and before I can comprehend what's happening, he grabs my hand and pulls me inside his room, slamming the door close behind us. He slams me against the wall, and slams his lips against mine, kissing me roughly. What the hell! I'm in a deep mess...
