His hoarse voice which held no sign of emotion rumbled like a distant thunder in the large sitting room that was now occupied by his mother, Jane Jordan - the heiress of Jordan Jewelleries, the dark haired judge who sat by an oak table that had been placed in the center of the room for this purpose, Mother, and I , the I-know-nothing-about-this bride dressed in a knee-length lavender gown and silver stiletto heels, nothing befitting for a bride on her big day. ... "And do you, Ashley, take Alexander to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I sucked in a sharp breath as I closed my eyes. "I do." My fate has been sealed. Just like that, I'm married to a man I know nothing about.

I stood outside the door, eavesdropping on them through the door hole. Felix was crouched in a fetal position and spurted thick blood with each heavy kick he got from Alex. I had no idea what was going on, but each reason Felix gave was followed by a rib cracking kick from Alex. I might not have liked Felix, but my heart felt pity for him that instant. I peered through the keyhole and saw Alex walking towards the door. I lifted the hem of my green dress and walked briskly to the kitchen, half running as I walked. “Ashley.” I heard his voice first before his heavy footsteps behind me as I rounded the corner to the kitchen. My skin crawled under my clothes and I felt my heart race against time. My lips also quivered with fear as I stood paralyzed to the spot. I had been caught in the act. I hesitated before slowly turning to face him. He took four
ALEXANDER'S POVShe was quiet and didn't say a word to me all through the drive back home. Neither would she look in my direction.

ASHLEY’S POVI’ve never been on a dinner date before, not even when father had been alive. Though I have had dinner once with Peter, my high school crush back then, I wouldn’t really consider that a date as we had his friends and younger frolicking around us while we dined. It was always rowdy. But tonight’s own would be different.I sat idly in the back seat of the black limousine. The chauffeur wouldn’t tell me where he was taking me to, said Alex had warned him not to say anything about it to me. I look out through the window of the limo and admired the bustling nightlife of the city. We also passed through the famous Le Marais where hundreds of Parisians thronged its entrance, yet we kept on going.Alex might be considered ruthless by the outside world, but he wasn’t a kidnapper.I gazed at my image in the vanity mirror beside me. Donna had volunteered to do my makeup which now needed a retouch because of my nervousness, the heart shaped dropping earrings and its matching silver n
ASHLEY'S POVThe early morning sunlight filtered in through the delicate curtain of the bedroom, helping me rise slowly from a night that's starting to slip between my fingers. I rolled to the other side of the bed and was greeted with the cold grip of the fabric instead of Alex's warmth.I opened my eyes and sat up in bed quickly, causing my temples to throb in pain. Wearily, I scanned everything around me. His side of the bed had been dressed leaving no trace of what happened in the night and the pillow was still plopped against the mahogany frame of the bed. I listened carefully for the sound of running water in the bathroom. Nothing. Everything was still intact.Panic gripped me and I rose to my feet, ignoring the pain that had built up in my head.“Alex?” I called out, turning to go to the door.
