8 Chapter 8

Conner and Mike had gone out to a bar to drink with an investor and his daughter. The meeting was very important so Conner could not dodge it. He had no choice but to bear with the investor's daughter who kept flirting and trying to seduce him.

He had already guessed something was up, since her father saw all of it and didn't say anything. As important as the deal could be the one thing he hated was this kind of people so he decided that after this deal was to be settled, this director and his daughter would be no more.

Mike had canceled on him last minute so he had no choice but to hold it in.

But little did he know that Mike had other plans for him.....

30 minutes later,

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom"The daughter of the investor excused herself, and finally conner could finally sigh in relief.

He quickly explained everything to the investor in order to finish the deal before his daughter came back. Surprisingly the investor followed along.

The daughter's name was Sofia. She and her father had come up with the plan to drug Conner and once the drug took effect he would have to be responsible for her. They knew conner was smart and would not fall for it easily so they had drugged three cups.

Sofia headed towards the bar and asked a waitress to send a tray of drinks to their room number. She also bribed her so she could drug two cups. And she described the person who should drink those two cups.

Mike stopped in his tracks when he saw what Safia was doing. Turns out he was about to do the same thing but Sofia had made the job easier for him not to mention she would be seen as the culprit and take the blame.

A few minutes later he was outside the room Conner was in.

He smirked and called Conner."Bro, I'm sorry I'm late since you're almost done I'll wait for you outside." Conner answered with a simple. "okay."

Seeing that Conner had not drunk anything the investor offered him a drink but he declined. Sofia took the opportunity to offer Conner a drink as well.

Conner had no choice but to drink the investor's drink because he didn't trust Sofia. Sadly how could he have known that the third drugged cup was the one the director had not drunk for the entire night.

After waiting for a few minutes Conner started to feel weird." excuse me I will use the restroom" Sofia smiled and leaned on his shoulder."Mr.Bianco I can help you just let me...."

Conner slapped her hand away and pushed her off him. He then exited the room with a bang.

The investor slapped his daughter across the face and scolded her."Look what you did!! You failed if he finds out what you did am over!! Hurry up and go after him!" Sofia ran after him but encountered Mike helping Conner stand up.

She immediately stopped in his tracks. Mike sent her a warning glare and she had no choice but to bite her lip in anger at her failure.

Mike took him inside the car where Conner immediately turned the AC on.

"You know what you need..."Mike suggested. "Shut up!"Conner shouted at him. "So do you want to to go to a club and find-"

"I dare you to finish that sentence call the doctor!"He shouted impatiently again. "The doctor won't be able to do anything but I have a better solution...." Mike suggested. Conner sent him a glare and covered his face with his palm.

"What is it?" He asked impatiently.

"your wife..." Mike responded. Conner gritted his teeth before answering. "Drive to the Bianco mansion."

Mike smirked. He knew it. Conner had a bit of a trauma when he was smaller so he completely despised women, especially prostitutes and gold diggers. Any kind of person who has bad intentions is despised by him. He knew Conner's better option was Ashlyn.

"We could still go to a club you know?"Mike teased him."Shut up! She wanted to seduce me, didn't she!"Conner responded, referring to Ashlyn.

"Oh right I forgot to tell you it was her father who forced her to seduce you. She didn't even want to marry you if not for her mother would have divorced you the minute she married you. She practically hates you." Mike informed him. This way the air would be clearer between Ashlyn and him. So after this incident no more ridiculous misunderstandings can occur. Conner froze. For some unknown reason, he felt a bit hurt."Whatever."He answered indifferently but his fists betrayed him and Mike noticed.

When they arrived Conner was already getting more of the drug effects. Mike was worried that Ashlyn was already asleep because that would make her hate Conner so instead he hoped she was awake to inform her of the situation first. Even if he wants them together he can't force them either.

When they entered. There was just the TV light in the house. Ashlyn was sitting with her legs crossed eating ice cream. She was wearing jean shorts and a black t-shirt reaching to her thighs covering up the fact that she was wearing shorts.

Conner gulped and looked at Mike. Mike just laughed dryly. "Ashlyn...." Mike called out.

Ashlyn turned to look at them with a petrified expression. After a few minutes she blinked and sighed in relief. "What the heck? Do you think your ghosts? What the hell are you doing here?"

Mike came forward and sighed. Conner headed inside the kitchen and went to grab a cold glass of water.

"He needs your help..."Mike told her. Ashlyn put the ice cream down and looked towards the kitchen where Conner was leaning on the counter covering his face with his palm.

"He was drugged he needs you too..."Ashlyn looked at him and laughed."You want me to bed him?"

Mike coughed and nodded."No."She answered Coldly and picked up her ice cream.

She started eating and looked at the TV. It was in an ad but still, she paid full attention to it.

"Ashlyn you're his wife..." Mike tried searching for reasons but he found himself tongue-tied.

"Oh I am? Really I did not know that!"She answered sarcastically."Go to a club and look for someone there." She mocked.

"Your married what would your mother think if you just left him like that.And his grandfather..." Mike told her.

"Stop. Are you threatening me now?!"She asked. Before Mike could speak again Conner interrupted him."Leave us."

Mike was just making the situation worse and Conner noticed. Mike sighed and left the house. Ashlyn looked at Mike leaving and turned off the TV. She picked up the Ice cream and walked towards the kitchen. She walked right past Conner and placed the ice cream on the fridge.

She was going to walk past him again and he held her waist. "Let go," she told him.

"Please."He placed his head on her shoulder and breathed in her scent. He closed his eyes in order to control himself. Surprisingly he did not feel the need to push her away. Maybe it was the drug but it didn't matter he liked it.
