FAZER LOGINOlivia stirred awake when she heard a soft knock on her door, her eyes fluttered open and she glanced around, her memories came back and she sat up realizing she was at Asher’s mansion.Her dark hair tumbled over her shoulders in messy wave and she tried to get up when a voice called out from outside.“Mrs. Lincoln? Breakfast will be ready in twenty minutes. Chef Jones has prepared a selection based on your preferences from the honeymoon.” The maid said.Olivia closed her eyes, hating how easily the title rolled off the servant’s tongue, perhaps she would tell them to address her by her name and never Mrs. Lincoln.Olivia dressed into a simple jeans and a cream sweater, refusing to play the part of billionaire wife. When she stepped out of her room and walked toward the dining, her gaze swept the dining table.She always gasped. Her mouth fell open to see the feast on it. Fresh coffee, buttery croissants, and sizzling bacon and many more dishes she couldn’t mention.Asher didn’t look
Roy knocked on Asher’s study room after hearing enough of his conversation with Olivia.Asher stood next to the window, holding a glass of scotch his hand, his expression was distant as he stared at the garden of the mansion.“Come in,” Asher called out and Roy stepped inside.“Mr. Asher,” Roy said, closing the door behind him. “I overheard your conversation with Olivia, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but you both were too loud, I had to dismiss the staffs before they heard more than they should.”Asher turned slowly, one eyebrow arched. “They all signed an NDA, so what if they heard.” “With all due respect, Asher, I thought things worked out fine between you two on the honeymoon.” Roy said slowly, he knew how Asher could be when he was pissed, and he didn’t want to get on his bad side, but he needed to talk to him about this.“You both seemed like you reached an agreement.” Roy added, not stepping closer in case he needed to flee the room. “Why are you still being so cold to her?”Ashe
Roy was already waiting with the black car on the runway, seeing Asher, he rushed forward and placed an umbrella over his head, the driver shield Olivia with an umbrella as they walked toward the car.“Welcome home, Mr. Asher…” Roy greeted, and Asher acknowledged it with a simple nod. Roy glanced at Olivia once and then at Asher, he knew something must have happened between them because neither was talking, their expression were darkened as well.Asher slid into the back seat first as soon as the driver opened the door, and Olivia got in after him, keeping as much distance as possible.Roy sat at the passenger’s seat as the driver drove off from the airport heading to Asher’s building.Roy stared at them from the rearview mirror, neither of them were looking at each other, Olivia rested her head against the glass, and kept her gaze on the road through the window as the city blurred by, while Asher browsed through his phone.The car slowed and Olivia blinked, sitting up. she stared at
“You mean no falling in love?” Olivia asked to be clearer and his eyes met hers, they were a bit cold this time.“Yes, let’s not complicated it with feelings.” There was no emotion in his gaze.Olivia breathes a sigh of relief. “Agreed.” She said with a smile tugging up her lips and Asher’s brows arched when he saw the smile, he wanted to say something but clenched his jaw deciding not to.“That will be all…”“Asher…” Olivia called out immediately and he looked at her, his piercing gaze boring into her eyes. “This marriage…” “What about it?” He slowly released his fingers from the keyboard.“Could we make it shorter than five years.” She asked, raising the corner of her brows, her voice was soft as if she was pleading.“No, we can’t, because divorcing too soon would raise questions,” He told her and her brows shot up, but he interrupted her before she could speak. “I cleared your family’s debt, but need this marriage to serve its purpose as well.” He said between clenched jaws.“And
Olivia tried to process his words, she blinked and looked up at him. “That is absurd!” She frowned. “You can’t tell me not to meet with Lawrence, he is my best friend---““And also someone you are in love with, what happens if people talk?” He asked her and she scoffed.“Lawrence is my best friend, there is no way I won’t meet him or talk to him---““You can only meet him when I go with you, or when Chloe is with you, I can’t trust you enough to let you meet him alone!” Asher said, she was about to protest again but he interrupted her. “If you won’t, then we can as well stop making this contract!” He added.“This is ridiculous!” She groaned, curling her hand into fist, there was no way she wouldn’t meet Lawrence, or meet him with Asher. “Then, same goes to you, you can’t meet any female alone!” She believed this was a good way to get back at him for making a ridiculous rule.Asher smirked, his eyes mocking her. “In my line of business I meet a lot of female, I go on dinner meetings wi
Olivia’s eyes fluttered open, she glanced at the white ceiling, and slowly turned her gaze to the beeping monitor, then the iv drip that was connected to her hand, she groaned slowly realizing she was back to the hospital, she wanted to get up but then felt someone by her side.She glanced to her left and there he was, sitting next to her bed, his head rested on her bed next to her hand and his eyes shut.She exhaled sharply when she recalled how she had called him and how he had carried her in his arms to the car, he must have take her to the hospital and didn’t leave.She glanced at his wristwatch and noticed it was past eight in the morning, she then turned her gaze back to his face, she trace his long lashes with her gaze down to his sharp pointed nose and then his lips.There was no doubt, Asher was handsome, but his arrogance, his lies, they all made her despise him, she liked him when she didn’t know he would be the one getting married to her, when he was helping her escape the
Olivia stood in the dimly lit room, bathed in the soft glow of the vanity mirror. The ivory lace of her wedding gown cascaded down, her hair was swept up in a delicate chignon, and a veil over her shoulders.She was a portrait of a bride, but her eyes betrayed a storm of emotions, the room was silent
Asher’s eyes met that of Lincoln, and there was silence in the air, until it was broken by the staffs present. “Mr. Lincoln.” Everyone in the room greeted but Asher.“What is he doing here?” Asher whispered to Roy who shook his head, giving him the no idea look.“Son, you clean up well.” He walked ove
Asher stood by the French window of his office in the Emerson’s Headquarters, his left hand was in his pocket, his expression unreadable, and his lips were pressed together in a straight line, there was no one in the room since he has ordered them all out, but suddenly, he heard a knock on the door
The car came to a halt in front of an imposing classic building. “We are here.” The driver announced and the guard stepped out of the passenger’s seat and pushed the back door open for Olivia.This is no hotel, could this be the house of my groom? She questioned in her head and swallowed hard.Olivia
