Chapter 271
LILY’S POV♡
I lifted my head when I heard Asher’s parents nearing us. His mom stopped a few steps before Asher and slapped him across his face. Asher’s head snapped to the side before he turned it back to face her, face full of astonishment. Heart beating fast, I backed away slowly, frightened at the look of rage on her face. Before Asher could get a word in, she began to rant.
“Why is that tramp in your room, better yet what was she doing on top of you?” Asher’s mom spat, pointing at me in disgust. I gulped when their attention was directed to me and I shifted uncomfortably.
“Asher, we expected better from you. Why are you downgrading us this way?” His father finally spoke, taking the attention away from me.
Asher was about to speak but got cut off by his mom. “I never knew you had such bad taste in women, what did she do to you? Did she sink her dirty claws into you? I am not surprised, ‘like mother, like daughter, opening their legs for anyone!” She spat looking at me like I was the dirtiest thing she had seen. I could let her say those things about me even though it hurt to hear that’s what she thought of me, but I couldn’t stay quiet when she was dissing my mom.
“Excuse me ma’am, you can say anything you want about me but please leave my mom out of it, she hasn’t done anything to you!” I said my voice strong, I was surprised it didn’t quiver for the tears I was holding in. She walked towards me, her fancy heels clacking on the wooden floor. She stopped a few inches before me, her face seething with rage.
“Who told you that you can speak to me, dirty girl?” She spat. She turned back to look at her husband and asked “Honey why is this dirty rat speaking to me?” Asher’s dad shrugged. My heart clenched when Asher wasn’t defending me and let his parents verbally abuse me in the most downgrading way. “Prostitutes don’t know when to shut up, it’s not her fault. Her mom taught her well!” She said, looking back at me with a satisfied smirk, and that was the last straw, I couldn’t shut up when she was saying all those mean stuff about mom, when she has never done anything to her.
“I won’t stay quiet while you say those words about my mom, when you’re no better.” I spat back, not caring that I disrespected her. My sudden joy about seeing her shocked face was cut off quickly when I heard a loud slap then felt the sting of it. I didn’t even realize my head went to the side until I snapped it back to her. Not only was I embarrassed and mad but I felt heartbroken when Asher didn’t stop her.
“How dare you!” She seethed.
“Mom!” Asher yelled and rushed to my side and pulled her away from me. His body was tense and I could see the rage in his eyes when he looked at my already swollen cheek. Tears pricked my eyes and I finally let it fall, not caring that I would look a mess. I took a deep breath before finding the courage to walk to the door. I’m getting the hell out of here, I won’t let them mistreat me this way.

“You’re lucky I don’t even charge you for even looking at my son, now leave and don’t ever come back, what you and my son had is over and it will never happen again!” Asher’s dad said, stopping me in the doorway. I turned around slowly and felt that my knees would give way when I saw the pain look on Asher’s face when he heard his father’s words. I nodded to his parents silently agreeing that I would stay away from their son.
“Mom, dad please!” Asher croaked out, his teary eyes begging his parents to stop.
“If you leave with her, I will disown you and the company will not be yours!” His dad spat at him and I watched as Asher’s shoulders slumped when he knew there was nothing he could do to change their minds.
“It’s okay Asher. I know who you already chose. Please, just stay and leave me alone.” I sadly told him and walked away from them, not turning back.
“Baby…” I heard him brokenly whisper as I reached the front door and opened it.
“Stop calling that whore baby!” His mother screeched.
“She is not a whore!” I heard Asher yell before I closed the door and walked away from him. I didn’t turn back once until I reached my dorm room. I would have gone to Noel and Rose’s but didn’t want to trouble them with my problems. Lknew what I was getting into and I stupidly thought I would be with Asher for the rest of my life, but that was only a dream and this is reality, the evidence is on my cheek.
walked to a mirror and looked at my tear streaked face. The ugly red mark she imprinted on my cheek stood proud as it mocked me. I was embarrassed to even think about what happened, let alone to face them ever again. All I want to do right now is sleep and pretend nothing happened.

With that in mind, I walked towards my bed and was about to fall asleep when my phone started ringing 1 looked at the caller and waste dispusat see that it was Asher. I put off my phone completely because I don’t want to face him and make a bigger fool out of myself if he really loved me would fight for me. I can’t do all the fighting. With that thought in mind, I finally dozed off.
1 woke up when Sonia banged the door and smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at her childishness and turned my back to face her. I didn’t have the re or the time to argue with hei. My belly started to grumble and I realized that I haven’t eaten for today. With all the events that happeried, lond was the last thing on my mind.
I know I should go look for something to eat but I didn’t have the appetite to eat anything. I took my phone and put it back on to see that Asher gave me about a hundred missed calls and fifty messages. I didn’t care to look at them or to call him back. My heart hurt to even think about him.
