For some reason she had stayed on my mind all day, her soft scent of lavender seeping through my nose, I tried my best not to stare at her all the way down to work but I couldn’t, that beautiful dress of hers fitting her like a glove, I could remember when madamè Leoforn asked that I take this dress for her, in her words “she will look breathtaking” I didn’t know this is what it felt like.
And now whilst we’re in this elevator alone together, she’s running through my mind more frequently than usual, her soothing scent, that light smile she held while clutching my arm, she seems to know what to do quite perfectly, I can’t let this opportunity slide.“Thank you” she muttered as she noticed my intent to keep her identity hidden.‘I can’t tell you that there’ll be more of this ahead, the spontaneity is about get higher than you think’“Why do you look like you’re about to fight me?” I asked, my lips curled into a light smile.“Why do you looAmelia’s POVAs I sat on the couch in the office at JC Industries, I tried to maintain a neutral expression. Julian leaned in close, his hands resting on the armrests, his eyes locked on mine. I felt a flutter in my chest, but I pushed it down, reminding myself why I was here.‘This was a contract marriage, nothing more. I need the money for my mother's hospital bills, and Julian needed his father's inheritance, It is a simple transaction, one that doesn’t involve feelings’ I thought to myself as I eased my heavy breathingBut as Julian's gaze held mine, I felt a spark of attraction that I couldn't ignore. I mentally scolded myself, reminding myself that I couldn't afford to fall for him. He was my professor, and this was a business arrangement.I focused on the cold, hard facts. Julian was using me to get what he wanted, and I was using him for the same reason. There is no room for emotions in this deal.I kept my face impassive, refusin

Chapter 24Whilst the driver’s eyes were set on the road, mine was on the window, averting my gaze from his.‘Why is he still staring at me?’ I thought as I placed my hand over the slit on my dress that ran down my knee.The car had finally stopped, I turned to look at him as he opened the door, letting himself out of the car, I sat patiently on my side of the car, my eyes following him.“My lady” he said with a light smile on his lips as he opened the door, his hand stretched towards me.I placed my hand on his, letting myself out of the car with my purse in my other hand, as I got out I noticed the people lined up with heads bowed.I tried to keep my mouth shut instead of asking questions which may arouse suspicion, instead I smiled, wrapping my arms around his, putting on a smile as we walked through the entrance.The doors of the building opened automatically and my eyes tried to scan the beauty in front of me without gasping for air.Holding onto his arm, I leaned closer to him“
I sat in front of the mirror as a doll would, when I heard voices coming from the door.“Miss Cawthorn?” One of them asked, I turned to look at her, the expensive dress on her body as the other women behind her stopped just as she stopped.“Yes” I answered.She smiled, tilting her head forward, signaling the other ladies who scurried about, rushing into the room.“Who..are you?” I asked as the younger girls settled down the boxes they had with them, unlocking them.“Your husband asked that I get you ready for the day” she answered in a subtle voice.‘Why do I feel it’s faked, anyways as long as she isn’t rude to me, it’ll be alright’ I thought as I noticed her smile .I turned to the mirror as the ladies had begun their work, paying no heed to their actions, I only closed my eyes when asked and opened them when needed and after so many minutes which I felt were hours, I looked at the reflection on the mirror.‘Is this me?’ I thought, almost touching my face“Ma’am..please refrain from
I quickly shut my eyes, there wasn’t any need to see whatever had happened in front of me.“Why are you closing your eyes, it’s just my upper body?” He asked. I could feel his breath get warmer on my skin as I took my hands over my eyes.“I personally think it’ll be outrageous to have to know what my professor looks like, under his shirt” I answered.Just as I stood, I heard his footsteps.‘Why are his footsteps becoming louder, is he coming at me?’ I thought to myself as I pulled back, my eyes still shut.“You’re my wife now..you’re not just a student..besides you said so yourself, you’re not new to this experience” he said, approaching me, my breath unsteady.I lied, maybe too much, I had never been in such close proximity as a man, not even Maxton, I always kept my distance, yet, this man wouldn’t let me move from him.“I’m sure you like seeing my clothes off” he said.I felt the hairs on my skin spike.‘How would he know that? Wait is that true?’ I thought to myself still walking
