The Bound Between Us

Chapter 625

Rowan couldn't quite figure out why Asher decided to save Julie. They were half-brothers, sharing the same dad but different moms. Asher never let Rowan call him "brother," only "Boss Ash." To Asher, Rowan was more of a subordinate than family. But Asher was the only family Rowan had left. Asher had taken him in and practically raised him. Without Asher, there wouldn't be a Rowan. So, he'd do whatever Asher asked.

Rowan glanced at Julie as if she were just another piece of furniture, not a person.

"You better ask Boss Ash yourself," Rowan said, pausing on the stairs. "Or, you could ignore him and walk out, ready to face the cops. If I were you, I'd choose to hang on, no matter how tough things get." With that, Rowan went upstairs.
