Please tell me this is all a nightmare. I am hating the direction this took!!!😭😣
"Are you still planning to marry that barbie bitch, Anisa?"

And by the way,… what your wife is upset about, is that you didn’t immediately push her the f away! So, I have a solution. Pepper gets to kiss two men in front of you. Kurt and whoever else. And one better be as big as the one you paid for!😡
Asher wondered at how fast labels change in a man's life. Ten minutes ago, he was a faithful husband to his wife and now?
Urban · King_Starr
Guess we just forgot about the chick you paid, to kiss in front of your wife. Or does that no longer count?🤷🏼♀️

How about you start, with the truck loads of other pain you have caused.🙄 I promise all that is a way bigger deal, than this moment of pain.
He felt like a young teenager who had no idea how to sort his woman's fears. But he had to try and he would spend his entire life making up for that one minute of pain he was causing her.

Tazer?😏
She opened the car and watched as Pepper took something out of her backpack into her handbag but she didn't see what and honestly, Duke didn't want to.
Urban · King_Starr
Dude, that is so far down on the list of whoppers he’s been hiding.🙄
She glued her eyes on the man in front of her...her man. Maybe she was mistaken,. maybe she didn't hear him well because there was no way he would keep her in the dark about something as important as a living brother.
Urban · King_Starr
That’s worse!!! What if Kurt calls again? Needing a lifeline?? He was open about his feelings for Pepper with your mom!
"Fine. Switch the phone off and hide it in the car. Where are you?" Asher asked her.
Urban · King_Starr
About time!👏🏻👏🏻
"Oh yeah" Asher kissed her properly "When I come back from this trip, I want to take you out on a real date, Calliope"
Urban · King_Starr
Winning brownie points left and right! Proud of you!👏🏻👏🏻 But, still scared she will find out everything/or enough things (lies), to ruin all of this before you get back.😣 Hope I’m wrong. Feel like his brother as her PA, is just asking for his identity to come out. Not that he didn’t try to tell her (sort of). But, he tried way harder, to sell the lies.😔
"The truth is I do my best to not feel responsible for people. It's why I care for a very few people because I protect those I care about, Calliope. It's kind of my Achilles heel. I showed up because I care about you. I worry about you and I want to know you"
Urban · King_Starr
Good prayer!🙏🏻
Pepper took her car keys and her bag and she walked out the door. The prayer in her heart was 'lord see me through'
Urban · King_Starr
Ah, she keeps opening up to you about her issues. And her life is an open book. How about you Asher? You are the one who will turn her world upside down, if you ever have the courage to come clean. Before she learns things on her own. If that happens, Lord help you. Just hope the fact you did try (half heartedly, let’s be honest - you could’ve proven your identity if you wanted to!🙄), helps soften the blows! And I do mean plural.
Was he crazy to think that things could ever work out between them? They had so many secrets in between them. Pepper was like the yin to his yang and they were like the direct opposite of each other yet they had so much in common too.
Urban · King_Starr
I thought he had a heart attack and died? Did I remember wrong? Or is she afraid to tell him? And I think she was 19 and he was 29? Unless, I’m confusing this with another book I’m reading.🤔
"Well, I almost had sex once but the idiot fainted on top of me. If you laugh, I am going to kick you" Pepper threatened him
Urban · King_Starr
Dude, you’re the one you brought up the versions of her you liked or could. And were brutal about the rest.
"The idea that you think there is a version of you that is ideal is laughable. Baby, come on have you met you? But if you think that whatever skeleton or scar you have in your cupboard will scare me away then think again. I don't give up on people easily, especially the ones willing to take a bullet for me" Asher reminded her.
Urban · King_Starr
Again, with the lies!!! What do you want her to believe!?!?🤷🏼♀️
"You know how you've been nagging me to get a job mostly behind my back? Well, a friend hooked me up with some construction gig out of state and it will last for a few days. You don't have to worry, I have made arrangements for Starr to stay someplace else that way you don't have to be responsible for her" Asher went back to packing his bag.
Urban · King_Starr
That’s what he does best. Even when he is obvious to it. Like not thinking how a woman answering his phone sounded? You know she called then. You know your mom picked up. And there was no message to give. She just said wrong number. How blind/stupid can you be??? How would you feel in those shoes? I swear, I hope Kurt or someone else does the same to you, soon!😤
"I am just saying don't hurt her or you will regret it" June threatened.
Urban · King_Starr
A “proper dinner”, isn’t just lunch! You are already lying about it!🤬
"It's not…" Asher thought about what to say "I just offered to buy her lunch. It's nothing to warrant that look on your face, Pepper"
Urban · King_Starr
Oh? Gonna turn you into believing, there is a higher power than yourself?😏
"Boyfriend…God help me in ten years" he murmured to himself.
Urban · King_Starr
If he hadn’t lied about so much else, since day one, and kept so many secrets, maybe she would. You never even try to offer proof that one thing is a fact.🤷🏼♀️
"If I tell you that I am the most powerful man in the world and I have riches to buy whatever I need except one thing I really need to save the girl I love most in the entire world, will you believe me?" Asher held her gaze for a few seconds before Pepper shook her head angrily and looked away.
Urban · King_Starr
Pot meet kettle.🤨
"You can't toy with people's feelings, Calliope. Every action has consequence" Asher let her go and pushed her off of his body.
Urban · King_Starr
😳🤬😤🤬
"Helen"
Boy, bye!: His Wife Is Hot Like Fire
