Epilogue: The End
Asher's POV
The car Reggie was driving screeched to a stop in front of Jackson's house. The scene in front was that of a horror movie with all the ambulances and firetrucks that lined the streets and driveways.
On the lawn ahead laid an unmoving woman that paramedics crowded around, while a foot away from her lay a body underneath a white sheet.
Filling his heart begin to pound in his chest Asher jumped out of the car despite the yells of Reggie and Taylor, making his way quickly forward.
"SUMMER!" Asher yelled just as a police officer held out an arm to stop him from coming any closer. "LET ME GO!"
"I'm sorry but you can't move any closer." The police responded calmly while easily holding the frantic Asher back.
"Please!" Asher begged trying to break free.
The longer Asher was held back by the officer the more his panic and fear grew. Everything about the scene he was watching was similar to that of six years ago.&n

The Dark soul Prologue: Meet and Part
Asher's POV He found her late one stormy night in the dead of Summer, sitting underneath an oak tree in a torrential downpour.Her tiny frame shivered as she stared blankly straight ahead unaware of anything around her. He noticed that her pale white arms that wrapped themselves protectively around her knees were covered in dark red marks that resembled the shape of fingers, almost like someone had grabbed her much too hard. Her blank face sported nasty red welts that looked to be made by an object rather than a hand. Her long blonde hair that hung around her face and body had hints of blood in it from a wound just above her eye that hadn't quite been washed away by the rain. Looking into her big blue eyes that held not the single semblance of life Asher felt immediate sorrow. At such a young age she looked years older as if she had experienced so much more than someone her age should have. It was so much more than he
The Dark soul Chapter 1: Six years later.
Asher's POV The room filled with sound of fists slamming into leather, sending Asher into an almost hypnotic trance. His eyes stayed fixed on the punching bag before him as he sent jab after jab at it. Each time his fist connected her image in his brain became less and less. This time of year was always hard on him. When the leaves outside would begin to change color on the trees and fall to the earth to be trampled, Asher's mood would follow suit, and as the air grew colder so would his heart. It had already been six years since he last saw her, but no matter how much time passed it never truly helped his heart heal. If anything it simply made his heart fester more and more. Sighing Asher closed his eyes slowly drifting back to that night. Just like every time he remembered he always lingered on them becoming one before his world completely shattered. How beautiful she had looked after asking for his all
The Dark soul Chapter 2: Found you
Asher's POV Asher and David arrived at Milan Restaurant at six sharp to find their newest prospective business partner waiting for them. "Michael." Asher greeted sticking out his hand for a shake. "I hope you didn't wait for too long." Michael Andrews was an impressive man from a very powerful family. That was one of the reasons Asher had worked so hard to get him on board with cooperating with them. That and the fact David had insisted that working with such a big name would make their company reach new heights. His dark eyes glinted in the last remaining sunlight as he studied Asher who was still waiting on a handshake. Seeming satisfied he stretched out his hand and clasped Asher's. "Nice to finally meet you Mr. Roth." Michael spoke slowly revealing a slight accent. "If you are both ready shall we head in?" Nodding Asher and David stepped inside following Michael. They
The Dark soul Chapter 3: Why
Asher's POV That night Asher lay in bed staring at his ceiling. Thoughts of Summer bombarded his mind not allowing him to sleep. Despite trying his best to push them away he lost in the end, succumbing to the torrent of images that drove him madder and madder by the minute. He knew he should be happy enough seeing that she was alive and well, but he just couldn't help feeling slightly betrayed. Why hadn't she contacted him this whole time? Why didn't she at least let him know she was OK? She should have known how distressed he was. He had thought they were close enough for her to have given him that much. His phone that had laid silent beside him suddenly lit up drawing his attention. Heart pounding he grabbed it with the ridiculous notion it would be her. With a frown he let out a breath and answered. "Why are you calling me so late?" He couldn't hide the disappointment and agitation tha
The Dark soul Chapter 4: La Fiet
Asher's POV Staring up at the large casino like building before him Asher steadied his heartbeat as he exited a taxi. Lights lit its 20 story walls, flashing from different shades of red, blue, and green. The words 'La Fiet' glowed golden above the double door entrance where a man clad in all black stood checking ID'S of patrons. The place seemed as grandiose as he had heard and immediately all he could think was, what am I even doing here? The only thing he had ever truly heard about this specific club was that it was one where drug lords, gangsters, and some of the most powerful people in the city enjoyed congregating. It wasn't a place someone like himself should even be stepping foot in. "Ready to go in?" David asked stepping from behind Asher and giving a long whistle. Nodding Asher and David made their way to the waiting bouncer and presented their ID'S. Satisfied that they were the real deal the bounc
The Dark soul Chapter 5: Questioning
Summer's POV Michael didn't bother giving her time to keep up with his angry stride, allowing Summer to stay back just out of arms reach. She knew what was going to come, after all she had truly made a huge mistake in his eyes. No amount of explanation would change that. Also, convincing him that one of his very own was betraying him would deem pointless. All Summer could do at the moment was brace herself for the onslaught that was waiting for her. She had made sure to check that all guards were on high alert this evening due to Michael's presence. She had double checked everything herself just to be sure. All had been secure and well guarded insuring Michael's utmost safety while he enjoyed a relaxing evening. That was why the news they received was concerning. Someone from a rival gang had infiltrated the premises right under their noses. That meant one or two things, the first was that someone was betray
The Dark soul Chapter 6: Move up the wedding
Summer's POV Summer returned home to find the mansion she shared with Michael devoid of all light. For the first time that evening she felt a sense of relief, even if it was only for a moment she could relax. If she was lucky Michael was already asleep and would be much easier to deal with the following morning after having time to cool down. Holding her breath she headed inside braced for the worst but hoping for the best. Heart plummeting she found Michael standing in front of their bay window staring out into the night. He was shirtless allowing Summer a glimpse of the intricate dragon tattoo on his back, the same tattoo that she herself had received after being forced into marrying Michael. A cup dangled from his fingers at his side, that was when Summer finally noticed the intense smell of alcohol permeating throughout the entire living room. Not only was Michael not asleep, but he was also most l
The Dark soul Chapter 7: We are strangers
Asher's POV Half past Eleven Asher sat back in his desk chair and gave a mighty yawn. He hadn't been able to sleep very much after the events of the night before. No matter how much he tried to think nothing of it, Summer had looked much too shaken after speaking with whoever was behind their club room door. Michael had also looked pretty angry despite his blatant effort to hide it. Knowing whatever had happened was not his business it had still taken all of Asher's energy to not follow behind demanding to know what was going on. It had also drained him having to keep Gustavo and Stefen company until they too left in a flurry. By the time he and David had left that evening Asher had felt like he had run a marathon, his exhaustion was bone deep. The icing on the cake for the night had been how drunk David had gotten before they finally left. Being the good friend he was Asher had esc
