He Thought I Loved Him—Dating My Childhood Sweetheart Was Work Chapter 03

He roared,”Elowen, you want 7. 5 million? I don’t have a daughter like you.”

He didn’t speak to me for three days. Then he caved. We signed the contract.

The deal was done.

But Asher was impossible to deal with these two years.

Back in school, we were close. I could handle all his demands. Now we’d graduated. He worked at Voss Corp, I worked at Anderson Corp.

Grandma Voss arranged it, said we needed space.

But Asher was still spoiled and demanding.

He’d force me to drive miles in the dead of night just to leave a crate of Cola atop a mountain. .

Make me drive across town in a snowstorm just to attend his friend’s birthday.

Only ate cake from one exclusive bakery in the city.

Made me line up before dawn on weekends.

Then he’d ask, like he was being nice, if I wanted some.

I shook my head.

I didn’t dare say the sight of him alone made me sick.

I only kept going because of my bank balance.

At the birthday party, his friends teased him.

“Man, Elowen must love you. Always there, no matter what. Ten years straight.”

“Yeah, everyone’s chased you, but no one’s as persistent as her.”

They laughed.”Elowen admitted she’s into hot guys before. No wonder she’s stuck on you.”

“She’s shallow, but she’s got good taste.”

Asher smiled, looking at me slowly.

I tugged my sunglasses lower to hide my obvious eye-roll.
