I Am Nothing Without You

Jolie

"Forget everything that happened between us," a low, commanding voice came from the darkness, pulling me out of sleep.

The light from the street lamp outside the window casts a faded strip on the massive figure frozen in the doorway. I unmistakably recognize my man in the one who entered.

"Asher? Is that you?" I sleepily sit up in bed, clutching the blanket to my chest. "You left..."

"He came back," he chuckled and turned his back to me, as if demonstrating condescension. "To say something important."

I managed to see an expensive suit made of rare fabric, similar to satin, the color of dark chocolate, and a white shirt, open a few buttons, exposing a masculine, muscular chest.

I had already seen this exact suit on him once, it seemed that an Alpha's son never wears things twice, but simply throws them away, since he can afford everything.

I always looked at him with admiration, and now is no exception. Handsome... What those amber eyes worth - the abyss is of vice, and lips, as if created only for kisses.

Asher Black is so huge that he takes up half of a tiny room in the servants' quarters. He is the son of my Alpha, for whom I work as a maid. An experienced, adult man, endowed with serious power.

There is a secret relationship between us, which is forbidden by the rules, but I fell madly in love with him and lost my head from his icy beauty and hurricane charisma.

"What's wrong with your voice?" It's three in the morning, the room is gloomy and quiet.

"I have a slight cold."

We had a big fight a few days ago. He hasn't called me all this time, hasn't even written. And he went to another city for a dinner party with the Alpha Black his father.

"I'm telling you straight - I'm fed up with everything."

"Asher... What are you talking about now?" I'm horrified.

"I want you to disappear. Forever!"

"What do you mean? I don't understand anything."

"Not only from my house but from my life."

"Did you explain it so clearly?" Panic rises in my throat, and my heart starts pounding wildly.

"What?"

But how...

This is some kind of joke?

He can't be serious, can he? He told me such things that everything inside me trembled. He made me believe that happiness between us was possible and that he would find a way not to keep our relationship a secret.

No, no, no.

He can't leave me! Especially now! When I... I have to tell him important news! My period is late, I took a test, and it showed two stripes. Tears started running down my cheeks...

I wrapped myself tighter in the blanket, feeling very sick.

"You can't do this to me. I'm pregnant."

"What do you mean pregnant?" He clenches his fists but continues to stand with his back to me, like a titanium mountain.

"Literally. You are the father of the child because you are my first and only."

"Now that's debatable."

"What do you mean, Asher?" a ragged wheeze escapes from her chest. It feels like someone just spat in my face.

"Don't take me for an idiot, Jolie!" he grins. "I saw it all perfectly well, with my own eyes. How my father cornered you!"

"It wasn't like that!"

"Enough! Not another word." A wad of bills falls onto the bed with a slap...

"I'll give you more than he did. You'll have an abortion with the change."

I look at this dirty money and drown in horror. I don't believe what's happening now. Asher... It's not him! It's as if he's been replaced. He would never have dared to talk to me with such a cynical intonation.

"This is your child! Your tiny copy..."

"It's not a fact that it's mine. Anyway, it doesn't matter," wolf waves his hand, "I don't need heir from a maid. I'll soon become Alpha, and this will be a disgrace to my reputation."

Ah, so that's it.

So he ran.

Decided to get rid of unnecessary ballast... like me.

Orphans. Girls from the street! I sob, covering my mouth with my hand.

"Wipe your tears, Jolie. You are a grown girl and you should have understood what a connection with someone like me could mean for you. Get dressed, my people will take you to the hospital. There is no time to hesitate until someone finds out about the unwanted pregnancy, otherwise serious problems will arise." Still did not turn to face me.

Ashamed to look into my eyes?

His broad, powerful back speaks to me. Demonstrates condescension...

And leaves.

I throw money after him, curl up in a ball on the bed, and cry.

Fool...

What a fool I am!

I am just the daughter of a maid, and he is the future Alpha. Could there have been anything in common between us? But it was incredibly difficult to stop...

Asher Black knows how to win the heart of absolutely any girl. He has the appearance of a predator, and a magnetic look, and his wealth allows him to buy an entire Black Hills. Only a robot could not resist such a wolf.

Chic bouquets, diamond earrings, flirting... it's all nothing more than mockery and falsehood! He was playing with me. The rich wolf was having fun!

I assumed how our cruel romance could end, but I could not stop. Because I fell in love... The world around me became somehow pink, unreal when I first saw the son of a famous Alpha.

You can't command a damned heart...

I emerge from the vivid memories and I hurry to the kindergarten to see Merry. I promised to pick up the baby early!

Five minutes, I'm almost at the kindergarten. I stop at the pedestrian crossing, letting a car pass. I step onto the zebra crossing...

I hear the roar of an engine, I turn around in horror. An SUV is rushing at me at full speed, blinding me with its headlights. I don't have time to think, I just cover my face with my hands.

A strong blow.

A scream burns my throat.

I am thrown into the darkness...
