Liliana’s Point of View

I clapped a hand over my mouth.

“I already tasted that,” he murmured.

“I was unconscious. I don’t remember a thing,” I shot back.

Asher eased closer until our noses almost brushed.

“Want me to remind you?”

My eyes went wide. I shoved his face away. “N‑No, thanks!”

He chuckled softly. “You really are adorable when you panic.”

Heat flared in my cheeks. “Are you laughing at me?”

“Fine, I’m sorry.” He straightened. “Ready to head out?”

I nodded, then paused. “It’s scorching—maybe you should drink water first?”

His grin widened. “Concerned about me? I like that, wife.”

I rolled my eyes. “Come inside.”

In the kitchen I fetched a bottle from the fridge—spotting an array of fresh ingredients that made my stomach rumble. The farmhouse was miles from any café, too.

“Hungry?” he asked.

“If you haven’t decided on a restaurant, I’ll cook us brunch—well, lunch by now.”

“Your kitchen, your rules.” He leaned against the counter. “Need a hand?”

“I’ve got it. Sit

    Liliana’s Point of View I swallowed hard. Calling my boss a servant suddenly felt ridiculous. “N‑Never mind,” I muttered, drying my hands. “Let’s just go.” Before I could step away, Asher planted one hand on the wall, caging me. His face hovered inches from mine. “You still haven’t answered my question. Don’t you want me in your plan, wife?” I cleared my throat. “M‑Mr. Asher—” “Wrong title,” he whispered. “I’m your husband.” He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear and grazed it with a fleeting kiss. My cheeks burned. “We’ll talk at your condo—with your lawyer present—so you can see exactly how you’ll fit,” I said, keeping my voice steady. His brows pinched, hurt flickering in his eyes. “So… all this time, I was never part of your plan.” He stepped back, shoulders stiff. “I’ll wait in the car.” He walked off. I rubbed my temples. Great. I’ve wounded a billionaire’s pride. After locking up, I found him holding the car door for me. “Thank you,” I murmured. He nodded once, sl

    Liliana’s Point of View We finished hammering out the details, and Zephyr read every line back to be sure we agreed. “Let me review the items one more time,” he said, scrolling through the tablet. Both Asher and I nodded. “First: yes to physical touch—holding hands, hugs, kisses, whatever you two decide. Liliana, you set the pace; if Mr. Windermere ignores your boundaries, there’ll be penalties.” I nodded, cheeks warming. “Second: no third wheels in the relationship. About your ex—what’s the plan?” “The ex‑fiancé will be useful,” Asher answered calmly. “We’ll let him stew in jealousy.” He arched a brow at me, and I nearly choked. He’d guessed exactly what I wanted. “Like it or not,” he added, “I’ve been part of your plan from the start.” I couldn’t help a quiet laugh. Zephyr shook his head. “Yep—still crazy.” “It’s not insanity,” I said, grinning. “He just reads my mind.” “Mr.—” “Hep‑hep,” Zephyr cut in, wagging a finger. “Rule three: no ‘Mr. Asher.’ You two need endearment

    Liliana’s Point of ViewI quickly chopped the vegetables, smiling to myself as I noticed their amused expressions. They were watching me like it was the first time they had seen someone chop vegetables.“Wow, your faces are hilarious,” I said, laughing softly.“Are you always that fast at chopping vegetables? You look like a real chef,” Zep commented.“I took a year-long cooking class so I could cook for my future husband,” I replied, still focused on the chopping.“I’m ready to taste it,” Asher chimed in.I looked at him and chuckled quietly. Right, he is my husband.“Ash, here, eat this raw vegetable,” I teased, holding out a slice of cucumber.He frowned, took the cucumber, and then handed it to Zep. I laughed when Zep ate it, skin and all.I shook my head at them, amused. “Get out of here, I’m trying to cook.”They pouted at my words, and Asher lightly smacked Zep’s shoulder.“It’s your fault we got kicked out of the kitchen,” he said.I laughed as Asher gently pushed Zep out.

I need clarity, and hearing it all from you will help."Asher nodded slowly. “Okay, I'll tell you everything you want to know.” Liliana smiled and nodded in return.Flashback...“I'm serious about marrying you,” Asher said earnestly, his eyes reflecting genuine intent.Liliana's cheeks flushed as she saw the sincerity in his gaze.Asher took her hand, noticing the ring he had placed on her finger earlier."How about you? Will you marry me, Liliana? I want to marry you right now, without asking for anything in return."Liliana, now tipsy, nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I will marry you! Let's go to church." Asher was taken aback as Liliana grabbed his hand and stood up.“The church is closed right now,” he said.Liliana pouted, releasing his hand and clenching her fists to hold back tears.“You don't want to marry me. Gerald was right that no one wants me. No one wants to marry me,” she sobbed.Asher s

    Liliana’s Point of ViewI sat frozen, staring at Asher as he shared everything with me. According to his version of the story, I was the wild one. What?! He was the victim all along! He felt sorry for me, that's why he married me.It’s all my fault because I was the one who flirted with him, and he had no choice but to go along with it. He even called the mayor and Zephyr in the middle of the night while they were fast asleep—just to make it official. Because of my insanity, so many people got dragged into it.“I'm really sorry about what happened,” I said quietly. “Don't worry, I'll do everything to make up for all my sins.”“Sins? You commit sins?” he asked, looking confused. “You didn’t commit any sin. Besides, I agreed to everything you wanted. Stop blaming yourself.”“Why are you being so kind to me? I did all those shameless things to you, and you’re my boss too.”He just shrugged and smiled. “I don’t know either. I find it amusing.”“Oh, come on!” I groaned.I grabbed the bottl

She was becoming the antidote he needed, the one who would bring back the flavors he had long forgotten.He glanced at her again. Liliana was sipping her drink, eyes fixed on her phone.“Damn those b*tches,” she muttered bitterly.His eyes followed hers to the phone screen. It was a photo of her ex-fiancé and ex-best friend, holding hands during a picnic. Other pictures showed the two entering a motel together.“They really don’t regret anything they did,” she said coldly.“People like them are addicted to sex,” she added. “They can’t stop or walk away from it. If you go back to that guy, he might touch you again—or worse, he might even rape you.”“If he dares to try, I’ll cut his damn thing off,” Liliana hissed. “They’re monsters—especially that so-called best friend of mine.

    Liliana’s Point of ViewI woke up to the sunlight hitting my face, making me groan a little as I hugged the pillow closer. But then I froze. The pillow I was hugging... it was breathing. I could hear a heartbeat. Slowly, I opened my eyes and widened them in shock when I saw him sleeping peacefully beside me.Of course, it was Asher.Wait—why were we sleeping next to each other? My face was practically pressed against his bare chest, and I bit my lip as I stared at it. I slowly moved away and realized he had no shirt on. My eyes trailed down, seeing that a blanket covered his lower half. I glanced at myself—I was still wearing my clothes... but where was my bra?I moved carefully, trying to lift his arm that was wrapped around my waist. I almost got free—until he pulled me tighter against him. My back was now pressed against his warm chest, and I could feel his breath on my neck.My eyes shot open again when he placed a kiss on the back of my neck.“Asher…” I whispered.“You’re plannin

How are we supposed to convince everyone—especially your lawyer—that our marriage is real if you don’t act sweet to me?”“I’m not exactly the sweet type, okay?”“Well, I am.”I frowned at him, staring hard as more flashes from last night played in my head. Ugh! Why did I drink so much?I leaned my head against the window and gently tapped it, punishing myself.“Wife? Hey, don’t do that.”He quickly pulled the car over and rushed to my side, moving my head away from the glass.“Why are you hurting yourself?”“Please… just keep me away from beer forever. I’m sorry for what I did to you last night!”I buried my face in my hands, overwhelmed by embarrassment.“So, you remember what happened?” he asked, curious. “What e

    Liliana’s Point of ViewWe were still at the mall, and right now, we were facing Jessica and her group of friends.“Who are you?” one of them asked, clearly offended.“I’m sorry, but I’m not really in the mood to introduce myself today. So if you’re planning to flirt with a man right now, make sure it’s not my husband. Okay? Otherwise, I won’t just push you—I might just knock you out cold and leave you sleeping on the cold tiles.”They were clearly stunned by what I said. Jessica had always been one of my biggest rivals. She was my cousin on my father’s side and had always tried to steal the spotlight. Grandpa and Grandma had two children, but Grandpa had an affair and had a child outside of his marriage—Jessica’s mother, who turned out just like her, always seeking attention.Grandma accepted them because she had no choice, but she still kept her distance. I remained her one and only baby, the one she truly cared for. Even Grandpa, despite everything, still treated me that way. His m

    Liliana’s Point of ViewAs we walked through the grocery store, Asher told me to grab anything we could stock in the fridge—ingredients for meals we would cook and eat together. Since it was all for us, I didn’t hesitate to start picking out what we needed.“Do you think everything I’m getting will fit in the fridge?” I asked as I scanned the growing pile in the cart.“I’ll buy a bigger fridge,” he replied without missing a beat.My eyes widened in shock. “You’re joking, right?”“Nope. There’s no room for jokes when it comes to things we need as husband and wife.”I froze in place.“Huh? Hey, come on. Relax. I think all this will fit in your condo fridge, so don’t worry too much.”“This isn’t all we’re buying, my Sweetheart. We’ve still got a long list ahead.”I stared at him, stunned. He was serious. “Let’s go,” he said, taking my hand as he pushed the cart forward.He stopped by the freezer section and started filling our cart with frozen goods.“That’s a lot,” I commented.“That’s

    Liliana's Point of View*I stood before the mirror while watching myself, my heart thundering like a wind drumbeat in my chest as I took in my reflection.My breath caught slightly, and I smoothed like the fabric of my dress with trembling hands, trying to gather myself. I need to calm myself or Asher will notice.Just beyond the drawn curtain, Asher waited and sat calmly on the sofa, unaware of the storm of nerves swirling inside me.The room was silent, but the air was thick with anticipation. My palms grew damp, a testament to how tightly wound I had become. Waaa I'm nervous!Then came the soft voice of the assistant lady, breaking the stillness like a delicate chime, “Mr. Windermere, Milady is ready and standing behind the curtain.” “I’m ready to see her. You can open the curtain now,” came Asher’s calm reply. My heartbeat quickened even more. I was wearing a dark dark red dress that hugged my frame and stopped just above my knees. Three-inch heels added some height to my usual
