HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â First time
ALEXANDER'S POV10:05pmThe room had grown dark and was only illuminated by the white light at the center. I had returned to the room to continue with the drafts of the contract agreement after breakfast and only took breaks in between when my brain felt overworked. I pushed the chair backwards and stretched myself as I rose to my feet. I checked my phone for any notification, maybe one from Ashley. There was none. I doubt if she has a phone cause I haven't noticed anyone on her since we got married.I was hungry as I've not had anything since the morning coffee. My stomach growled in approval and I ambled towards the door. I took the elevator downstairs which opened directly into the living room. Ashley lay sprawled on the couch, her hair disheveled and tiny strands covered her face. The television was still on and tuned in to CNN news channel, a plate filled with crumbs of brown bread and scrambled eggs sits close to her legs.I picked the plate, dropped it on the center table and
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â Presents
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. That was when I caught a glimpse of paper neatly folded on the bedside table.I walked over and picked it up. The white paper still held his scent in it, and I press it to my nose to in
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â Dinner with Alex
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
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â KELLY
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. I had tried to initiate a conversation, but her replies had been monosyllabic.She had gone up to the room after saying her goodbye as soon as we arrived home, showered and now slept soundly on the bed. I was in the makeshift office, trying to understand what happened tonight.This wasn't how I had planned the evening. It should have been perfect as I had lots of sweet plans arranged for us but it all doesn't matter anymore. Her change in attitude started when I mentioned my trip to Seoul to discuss the deal with Wang Fashion and Jewelleries and got worse with Kelly's presence.Fuck the bitch.I had no idea she'd crash the dinner. Did she come with the intention of worrying Ashley?But why was Ashley worried about being left behind while I travelled? Whatever her reason was, I still needed to tell her who Kelly is and also find out what Kelly was doing at
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â I want you
ASHLEY'S POV“Give me three reasons you did what you did.” Alex's voice thundered inside the room, making the door shake in terror.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 long st
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â "I do."
ASHLEY'S POV"Let's get this over with."Those were the longest words I heard him say ever since his entrance to the room. 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.I had been in bed this morning, tossing from the sweet dream I was having when Mother stormed into my room cussing and fussing at the top of her high pitched soprano voice. She looked disheveled with bloodshot eyes, like one who had just woken up from a hellish nightmare."Get out of bed, Miss Lazybones." She screamed as she ripped off my bed cover leaving my skin bare at the mercy of the harsh December winte
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â You're in my house, you obey me.
ALEXANDER'S POVFuck!She's so beautiful I felt like wrapping my arms around her and pull her in for a breathtaking kiss. I'm pretty sure I looked very intimidating with my cold stares, plus I don't know what she must have heard about me that made her look at me with a bombastic side eye.It's not like I'm over the moon about this whole arrangement. I would never had agreed to this if me becoming the CEO of Jordan Jewelleries wasn't attached to it.Mother was about stepping down as the Chairman of the company, and it called for an urgency in either Michael, my eldest brother and rightful heir of the company, or I taking over. Michael who already has his own family and forged a new career path for himself in the Oil and Gas industry had rejected the offer, leaving me as the only viable option. I loved Jordan Jewelleries, dedicated my existence to growing the business after I finished college, and had always looked forward to holding the reins of the company. But now that my dreams wer
HIS CONTRACT BRIDEÂ Â Â A plane ticket...
ASHLEY'S POV9:00am.I forced my droopy eyes open and squinted in the brilliance of the morning sun which filtered in through the lush curtains, illuminating the dark corners of the room. A sharp pain throbbed in my temples as I gently peeled back the satin bedsheets from my body, exposing my petite frame underneath.The pain doubled in its intensity as I rose quickly from the bed. I swayed to the left when I tried to set my feet on the linoleum floor, that I had to use the bedpost as a support system. "What could be wrong with me?" I thought as I stared at my full length in the standing mirror.A disheveled figure with eye bags underneath her eyelids stared back at me. My cheeks flushed bright red as the events of last night came back to my memory, and I found myself wishing something more had happened last night instead of the mere chemistry.After Alex had left my room, I had enveloped myself in a pool of my own tears. Ever since Father's death and with no one else to keep me safe f
