Ashley Walters pov:
Despite so many requests, nobody bothered to send me my bag. I was still wearing the same dress that was emitting a sweaty stench.
Yuck!
It had been three days since my wedding. I still hadn't seen the handsome guy's face and I was hell curious.
That naked delicious back still popped up in my mind when I was doing nothing. That is for most of the day. Today I took a shower and washed my clothes with that gent's body wash.
Did I have a choice?
My husband seldom came to his room. Last night he did sleep in his bed and I held my pee waiting for him to go to sleep.
Thank God he didn't take long.
The maid who used to clean his room and used to bring my three meals to the room was now getting a little bit friendly.
Though I was not allowed to interact with anyone but staying the whole day in a room, waiting for the meals where I was not allowed to even watch TV. This absurd routine had started taking a toll on me.
This afternoon I opened the door just a tiny bit and peeked out.
Good. I could not see anyone outside.
At this point, I was even ready to talk to the man who was my husband. I just wanted someone to talk to.
The maid had told me that the whole floor belonged to my husband and no one was allowed to check the rooms except those selective maids who were responsible for cleaning.
Walking around in drenched clothes, I was not least a bit scared that someone might catch me red-handed.
Who was I? Their pet?
Even a pet has rights.
The long hallway ended at a room. Though there were several but I didn't try to look inside.
Holding this door's handle, I was still trying to decide if I should go inside or not when I heard an amused voice behind me.
"Getting bored, sweetheart?
I felt my heart jumping up my throat.
With great might, I turned around slowly and looked at him.
A cute guy who had a scar on his left cheek was standing there. His black bangs were falling on his forehead and the cute smile made him approachable.
"I am... sorry. I ..." For some odd reason I suddenly felt thirsty. Licking my lower lip with nervousness I tried to stretch my lips for a smile.
His eyes dipped to my lips for a second.
"Hey!" His face became serious. He raised his hand to brush his knuckles against my cheek, "It's ok. I was just asking. You are dripping right now making the whole carpet wet. This can land you in trouble." I nodded and tried to walk past him when he blocked my way.
I looked at him questioningly.
Oh, God. Please. I did not want to lose my ten million dollars. I was kidding a while back when I said I don't want it.
Holding my hand gently he started walking me to the room, “Let me escort you to your room.” He remarked while his blue eyes gazed at my chest making my heart skip a beat.
Who was he? What was he doing here?
Reaching the room, he opened the door and gestured for me to go inside.
Muttering a quick thank you under my breath I went inside.
He followed me inside the room and closed the door behind him.
Oh My God! Was that cute guy my husband? I was damn lucky. I wished umpteenth time that my friends were here. They would have been jumping with excitement by now.
A shy smile crept to my lips.
"A... Are y... you my h... husband?" God! Was my affection for him that obvious in my eyes?
I never stuttered in my life. Maybe I was not expecting such a cute guy to be my husband.
I had always imagined that my husband would be someone with a pot belly.
"What!" His eyes went wide and he started laughing.
What was so funny about the question?
"You don't know anything about your husband? Tsk!" He clicked his tongue inside his cheek and chuckled.
"Honey ball!" He brought his face close to mine... Like ... very close. My heartbeat quickened because no guy ever came this close to me.
"I am your husband." With that, he pulled me towards him and his mouth started opening hungrily on mine.
There was something fishy. Till last night he was successfully ignoring me and now?
Now he was attacking me like I was a feast to his eyes!
And lips!
I tried to push him away when he did something unexpected.
Lifting my skirt, he tried to insert his hand into my panties.
"It's ok love. I just need to check your wetness!" His voice had turned husky.
Checking my wetness? Can't he check it from my clothes? I was still dripping wet.
I slapped his hand with full might. He paused for a second and then tried to smile.
"Listen, honey ball. No need to shy from your husband. Do you want to check my wetness? See?" Guiding my hand, he inserted it inside his pants trying to make me feel his intimate part.
Yuck!
This time I gathered all the courage and shoved him back with full force.
He wasn't expecting it. Before he could say or react I quickly opened the door and ran out.
I didn't know where to run. Whom to call for help?
The moment I came across a room, I just twisted its handle and closed the door behind me, locking it.
It looked like a storeroom. It smelled of dust and the furniture was covered in white sheets.
But nothing mattered right now. I placed my hand on my chest to control my heartbeat.
I felt like crying and felt a shiver running through my body.
I went to a white sheet cladding the couch and laid on it. And then tears started slipping down my cheeks.
My arms were tied around my non-existent bo*obs to comfort myself. I was hugging myself to keep myself warm and to avoid shivering.
The image of my husband forcing my hand inside his...
I could not think anymore and let my body fall limply on the couch but landed on the carpeted floor. Instead of getting up, I dragged my body under the bed and passed out.
Justin's pov"Hello, Sarah. How is the tour going?" I asked Sarah leaning back my head on the recliner."Oh, Justin. I can't tell you how refreshing it is. I planned initially to run away because of your wedding. But it proved to be a mind booster and refresher." I could feel her munching something.“Sarah!" My mood drastically changed due to the reminder that I had to marry against my will, "You and granny wanted it. I did it for you. And now you are playing this blame card as I cheated on you."This was not fair to me. It was initially granny's wish and Sarah favored her.I knew she loved me but I was getting tired of this blame game now.The only conditions I put forward were not to see her face and no interference in my life from her side.No friendship no communication. That was the reason the girl was getting such a big amount. Granny wanted to pay her one million but I knew it was not an easy task to cut yourself from the outside world for one year."Hey. I am sorry babe. I jus
Sarah’s pov:Justin was my fiancé. Hot-headed. Drop dead gorgeous. He was never expressive. Eh! Except when he was angry. He smiled rarely. My friends thought he was madly in love with me and that was true.He fulfilled all my demands and used to spoil me like anything. He never raised his voice at me. My friends used to envy me. They could not wait to get a chance to take my place.To grab my fiancé.I got him married because of a harmless dare. Granny was involved in it. Justin gave in to my demands after a lot of persuasion.Now don’t take me wrong. There was more about this marriage than a simple dare. I could not afford to lose him. He got mad at me when I asked him a simple question about his wife.Oh, sorry. About his maid. Yes. She was not his wife. She could never be his wife. She was a plain maid.I was the one, he was supposed to marry. I was the one who deserved to be his wife. Who deserved to be the daughter-in-law of De Luca family.THE De Luca family!Justin’s pov:"M..

Ashley povUgh! I tried to stretch myself. The mattress assigned to me was not comfortable but today it felt like a hardboard.And that hardboard was snoring slightly. I felt so tired that I did not want to get up. There was nothing to do. Nobody was waiting for me. What’s the use of waking up when I would be getting bored? Or maybe I should pop in some sleeping pills and spend one year sleeping on a couch or my mattress like a dead.My cheek hurt due to resting on the hardboard so I decided to change the side and lifted my face up. I saw a man sleeping on his back under me. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and rested the other cheek. Just then my eyes went wide.I was NOT sleeping on my mattress. I lifted my face again and looked up.Shit!Who was he? He was not my husband but whoever he was, the man was drop-dead gorgeous. How can a man have such long lashes? Look at those lips. Damn!If it was a sin to look this handsome, he should have been hanged publicly.His face was so …
Ashley pov:I was taken into the same bedroom which originally belonged to my husband. I was still scared that my sick husband might return any second.Though I did trust my handsome savior, but Mother Superior once told me that all wealthy men could never be trusted. They always helped and trusted their own kind.I was just a maid and a contractual wife of that asshole.This smart-ass… I mean this round-assed man might be sincere, but it was silly to trust him.Once inside the room, I went to the corner where my mattress was lying. My luggage was still not there. I needed to talk about it to this man who was helping me. The one who spent the night with me.Yeah, I knew that I was blushing.Hello!” I scrunched my nose when someone waved his hand before my eyes, “Back to the earth, kitten.”The gorgeous man was frowning at me, “I have been calling you. Where are you?”Oh! I was in heaven, handsome!“Ah! I … I was … umm…” He was waiting for me quite patiently, “I haven’t got my bags…
Sarah’s pov“Sarah. Don’t you think you are being emotional? Justin can never stay angry with you. He loves you and you know that.”My friends Nadia and Shella were trying to console me. Justin did not receive my call after that. I knew he loved me and cared for me. This was the first time he did not talk to me for almost three days.“I agree with Nadia,” Shella spoke for the first time, “Give some time to him. It was just a silly bet. We tried to warn you that Olivia is just jealous of you. She was after Justin for quite some time.”Shella who had a secret crush on Justin tried to scold me. Nadia did like Justin but at least she had a steady boyfriend. Shella was still single by choice.We all were sitting in the luxury suite of our hotel.“Don’t worry about Justin. Granny told me that maid is not much beautiful. I trust my fiancé.” My fingers were intertwined under my chin, “It’s just that… he is upset because of me.”I did not know why I was getting this uncomfortable feeling in
Ashley’s pov “Ashley? Sweetheart? You are crying? What happened?” Concern was dripping from his voice, and it was making me cry even more. “Shh…” Still kneeling on the floor, he lifted his hand and gently wiped my cheeks with his thumb, “Can you be alone for a few minutes? I will just be back in a jiff.” He snapped his fingers. I managed to nod at him. Without realizing what he was doing, he gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and went out leaving the door slightly ajar. I started wiping the tears with the back of my hand. It was stupid of me to cry like this when Justin was not at fault here. Maybe I needed to blame this time of the month for making me extra sensitive. Waiting for him patiently I started tapping my foot on the floor when I heard him walking to the bathroom, “Ashley?” Such a gentleman. He was again asking for my permission. This time I did respond to him. “Yes.” He entered with his gaze lowered down and extended his hand to hand over a brown envelope. Not under
Ashley’s povThankfully my Excel sheet experience proved to be of some use. Whatever Justin wanted, I not only got it in a jiffy but also started doing it on a PC placed in the corner of the study.He got busy with his laptop on his desk and kept taking his official calls. Once I started doing my job, we did not talk much except I once asked him if I could start munching Doritos.A man whose name was Alex delivered large bags of Doritos to the office. The moment Justin nodded at me to go ahead I beamed and got busy.While doing my work I was aware of his strong presence in the room. I could feel the occasional glances, he was throwing in my direction.It felt like working near him was making him happy.My work was going smoothly when I got stuck at a company’s name. I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to include its calculation or not.“Justin. Do I have to include this company’s calculations or leave it?” I asked him when he was talking to someone on call. Now it was counted as bad
