Elena didn't expect the drastic turn her life took in just one night. From discovering she was getting married, in place of her sister, to a mystery man, to bumping in on her unremorseful boyfriend cheating on her. Miserably, she agreed to take her sister's place. She thought she knew all what to expect and she prepared herself for it; a boring loveless marriage. Her soon-to-be husband was an extremely wealthy son of the Walton's but the rumors deemed him bedridden. He was also crippled and with a face scarred with burns. Elena thought she knew how their relationship would go until she eventually dived into it. Not only did the mystery ugly Billionaire turn out to be her worst nightmare and nothing like her thoughts, but he also had more secrets that would leave Elena wishing she hadn't judged too quickly. But there was no escape route for her now... *** His eyes narrowed as he stared at my nude figure, like a predator staring at his prey. "I've been gentle for you too long. And you've been a bad girl. It's time I mark you, and show you who you belong to now." "I'm yours, Master. I know I'm yours-" My voice was shaking as I knew this dangerous man wouldn't allow me to disobey him. I'm his bride as well as his personal slave. "I need you to prove it to me," he rasped near my ears while holding my hands to touch his desire, "Show me."
View More~Asher~***The first thing that caught my sight as Elena walked out of the airport was the gem bracelet wrapped around her wrist, the second thing was the bouquet. A smile found its way to my lips and it took a generous amount of my willpower to not jump in excitement.She probably still had no idea it was from me but I was excited Seeing her wear it. Since our disagreement, it was the first time Elena was accepting a gift from me. Well, technically she had no idea I was the gifter, but her acceptance was all that mattered to me. I figured she might not accept or wear the bracelet if she knew it was from me, so I kept my identity hidden, hoping she would wear it.And it worked.Tron swooped to get her luggage from her but Elena refused to let go and when she reached the car, which I was very sure she saw, she began walking past it and me.Without a moment of thinking, I stopped her, holding her wrist to cease her steps."Where are you going?" I asked, maintaining my smile. "I came to
~Elena~***Since the start of the award ceremony, my attention was mostly on my phone. I wasn't sure why I expected his call after consciously ignoring them all these while. If I knew Asher, even a little, then he would call again. He doesn't give up. But seated here, staring at the blank screen of my phone, I concluded that I didn't know him at all.I had at least thought he would wave off his pride and check up on me today of all days. It was supposed to be my last day in Paris and the day I found out if my hard work paid off or not. If not, I would need some comfort. But Asher didn't seem to be interested in finding out.There was no call from him, not even a text. For the entire week I stayed in Paris, Asher had called until two days ago. When I ignored them, he would text. I read them all, but I never replied.Today was the day I planned to talk to him but he wasn't calling anymore.I placed my phone on my thigh, adjusted in my seat, and shifted my gaze to the event. I pushed my
***"I spoke to the media, and they all agreed to cooperate," Ricky finally released the words Asher had been haphazardly waiting to hear.Ending the call, he dropped the phone and plopped into his office chair.Save for his grandfather and the Walton Group, Asher wouldn't have paid this much attention to the press. At this moment, his only concern was Elena. Rocco had promised to have some of his men keep watch over her all through her time in the city, but Asher still regretted letting her go without them sorting things out.Everything he planned, all the amendments he penned down to satisfy her before the trip, he wasn't able to do any of them. Instead, he hurt her more.He didn't deserve her. With all of him, he knew this but he also couldn't let her go.---All through the entire week that followed, Penelope continuously visited Walton's and tried to meet Asher privately but her efforts were futile because Asher was always busy.He didn't want to resort to drinking to get over El
***Asher woke up to Elena's absence, recalling their argument the previous night and how he ended up forcefully having his way with her, he figured she might have slept in a separate room.Aside from the headache, Asher felt horrible for treating her like that.He had decided to hold back a thousand times but ended up failing every time. At this point, he doubted that Elena would still want to be with him.She had endured up till this time but he kept breaking the rules, and he feared that she might not be able to bear with him anymore. The thought scared him.Although she had the right, Asher couldn't imagine being away from her.After a bath, he walked out of the room in his office wear. Elena was nowhere in the living room and Asher wondered if she was still in bed.He tried to remember if he hurt her badly. What if he injured her? Did she, perhaps, cancel school for today out of the mistreatment meted out to her by him?Out of worry, he paused in the living room and turned to a m
~Elena~***With my arms folded, I watched the door open and an intoxicated Asher stumbled in. It was the first time I had seen him drunk to this extent and it erupted several thoughts in my head.What happened between him and Penelope? Did they have sex after the party? How did he get drunk, and with whom?These were questions that I couldn't get answers to and it left me even more downcasted. I could already tell that the answers would break me more but I still wanted to know.I wanted to see how low Asher thought of me and why he lied to me all along, making me believe I was too important to him.Under his breath, he was groaning and he looked uncomfortable."Elena..." he called out to me, stretching an arm while he moaned my name continuously.I watched him approach me, looking like he was passing through some kind of pain whose source I couldn't see.Was he hurt? It hurt me to see how much I cared about him. So when he called out to me again, with the same tone, I stood up to mee
***"..and that's a wrap everyone, thank you for your hard work!" The supervisor finalized and walked out of the hall.Sunny burst into the room and ran up to Elena in her seat, "how did it go?""I got a pass," Elena giggled. "I feel high-spirited right now, this just boosted my confidence for the competition.""I told you you'd do well. You worked so hard, also I'm pretty sure you would do well at the competition too." Sunny assured."I hope so," Elena breathed out."Are you hungry? I'm starving!" She dramatically emphasized, "Let's go grab something to eat together. My treat.""Sure. I'll quickly pack up.""I'll be waiting in the car for you."After she left, Elena began stuffing her bag with her art equipment, humming excitedly as she did. She had just zipped it up when her phone beeped. She fished it out to find a video message from an unknown number. A text came in right after and she instantly knew that the messenger was Julia.She opened the video and her mood soured after a mi
~Asher~***"Mr Walton?" I jolted out of my reverie, darting my gaze to my secretary and then to the projector. I studied the faces of everyone else in the hall, seeing the contentment in their eyes, I approved the plan."Preparation for this section will commence immediately."Once the meeting was over, I returned to my office and resumed staring at the telephone as I contemplated. The Walton Group 50th anniversary ceremony was just around the corner and I was yet to officially invite Elena to attend the event with me.Even though we now slept in the same room and she no longer made efforts to avoid me, she still hadn't forgiven me and somehow, I knew I deserved it. I was relieved by the fact that she no longer talked about leaving me but I still miss all the little things that weren't there anymore.Discarding the opposing thoughts, I grabbed my Jacket and headed out of my office."Take me home," I said to Tony as I slid into the backseat.When I walked into our room, Elena was seat
~Elena~***"Asher, let me go," I said within my breath as he pushed open the door, shoved me inside, and slammed the door shut.He released my wrist and faced me, his eyes darkened with fury and bemusement.I tend to my hurting wrist, facing him with an equally angry look."For how long has this been going on?" He asked."What are you talking about?""Don't play dumb with me, woman. You know exactly what I'm talking about!" He deadpanned. I was certain that if there was a table nearby, he would have broken it into two with his clenched fist."Nothing has been going on between Jake and I, if that is what you mean.""Don't lie to me!" He yelled, "Did you tell Tron to keep quiet about it? Have you been fuckin your ex-boyfriend behind my back all along?""What?""All of this funny acting lately, is it because of him? Have you been trying to leave me to go be with him?""No. What are you talking about? Jake and I have nothing, how many times do I have to tell you that?""Then can you expl
~Elena~> >Tron parked the car in front of Sara's, a coffee place opposite the university and he hopped down from the car to my side to open the door.Asher was in his study with his grandfather when I left the house, so I figured that instead of telling him where I was headed, I would return before he even found out I left the house.I was only going to meet Jake, listen to whatever he had to say, and warn him, without mincing words, never to call me again. It should take only a few minutes, right? Asher would likely stay up to an hour talking to his grandfather, sometimes he would stay for more."Elena," Jake's eyes lit up upon sighting me. "I'm so glad you came.""I didn't come to sit and chat with you, Jake. I came to tell you never to call me again, and I don't care about whatever you have to say, just stay out of my life. This will be my final warning. If you pester me like this again, I will have no choice but to tell my husband." I warned him and turned to leave.The beam in
