Olivia and Asher walked into a ring store and she glanced around to see the staffs drooling when he stepped in, she glanced at Asher who didn’t seem to care about their stare, rather he walked glance at the ring showcase.Olivia’s lips curved up as she also admired him, one hand in his trouser pocket, his long eyelashes fluttering as he gazed at the many ring, his lips paused and then part a little, there was no doubt, he was handsome, and the fact he didn’t pay attention to any of the lady was surprising.Well, why should he? He is so in love with his fiancée and would be married tomorrow, he can be one out of the few guys I know who doesn’t pay attention to flirtations gaze.“Good afternoon Mr. Asher, what type of rings are you looking for?” One of the staffs who knew him so well came up, she was the manager of the place and one who works in this branch.Asher glanced at her and whispered. “I prefer you treat me like other customers here, forget the titles.” He said coldly and the l
Olivia and Asher walked into a boutique and she glanced at Asher who was very quiet, he has talked so much when they were about to go into the ring store, but after buying the ring, he looked distant and cold all of a sudden.“If you don’t feel like shopping anymore, then we can leave, best for the both of us.” She shrugged and he glanced at her, casting her a cold icy gaze.“We still have lot more to do.” He walked passed her and was immediately greeted by the staffs there, same look, so drooling and same whispers from many people around, but none of that concerned Asher while Olivia was more curious of his sudden coldness.“I need to see all the couple set wears.” Asher said softly and the staff glanced at Olivia and then at him, matching the puzzle, she nodded and told him to follow her.Olivia immediately followed Asher. “If you didn’t like the ring, why did you not change it, rather than giving me this cold shoulders, you should---“ Just before she could finish her statement, her
Olivia growled in anger, her deal with this man was only pretend as his fiancée and have him give her details of the man she was suppose to get married to, but why on earth was he going as far to kiss her.She quickly raised her hand to slap him, but Asher caught her hand and pulled her into his embrace, holding her close, he whispered even while she struggled.“Please, calm down, I only did that to shut you up and keep you from revealing that we aren’t real couples, and I am sorry, so don’t ruin our plan because you are angry at just one kiss.” He told her glancing around and forcing a smile to the staffs watching them.“How dare you kiss me? It was my first kiss and I was saving it for Lawrence tonight… why would you steal it?” She whispered but out of anger she pushed him away, her eyes burning breath with angry flames.Asher was speechless. “You haven’t kiss anyone?” He asked her and she curled her hand into fist, the only thing stopping her from punching him were the people watch
Asher arrived home and took off his shirt and trouser, he grabbed his towel and went to take his bath, as he walked into the shower, he turned on the faucet and let the warm water run down his hair to his toe.He slowly closed his eyes and his thoughts turned back to the kiss he shared earlier at the mall with Olivia, he slowly touched his lips.“She is dangerous.” He ran his hand through his hair and shook his head to snap out of that thought.He continued bathing, after his shower, he walked out of the bathroom, just after he tied his robe, his cell phone rang and he picked it up when he saw it was Roy calling.He placed the phone on his ear. “Mr. Asher, I am sorry to call at this time, but there is something I have to inform you.” Roy said from the other side of the line.“If it isn’t important, you will regret calling me…”“It’s about Jane.” Roy interrupted him and Asher’s eyes darkened at the word, he swallowed hard and clenched his jaw.“I don’t want to hear anything about it.”
Olivia walked into her room, her heart pounding as she shut the door behind her. She leaned by her door and listened. She knew Lawrence had followed her inside the house, but one thing she didn't want was him coming into her room and she hoped her parents would make him go away.She stood there for a while, she knew she had to eventually tell him that she was getting married, but she can't do that unt8l it actually happened and she has hope that it won't happen if she figures out how to stop it.She clenched the flash drive Asher had given to her, but to make sure Lawrence wasn't coming to her room, she turned the lock and rushed over to the window.Lawrence was getting into his car, and her heart ached as she watched him from her window. She had been waiting for this moment, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, but what happened next took her by surprise.As Lawrence prepared to get into his car, he looked up, his eyes meeting hers through the window. Panic surged through Olivia, and
Olivia couldn’t sleep a wink all through the night, she sat on her bed, her back leaned on the bed frame, her knees pulled up and her arms around her knees, she felt restless, her heart was filled with worry, anxiety, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom.Her eyes were fixed on the clock and it seemed to move at an agonizingly slow pace, each passing second echoing the closeness to her new life, her breathing was heavy, her eyes darted from the clock to her opened window.Different thoughts run through her mind, to escape, to run far away, but how can she, her parents would pay a the price for her running away, she knew the family would be wealthy for them to pay that huge sum of money for her father, and also scary, she just felt it deep in her bones.Tears rolled down her cheek and each time it fell, she would wipe it away with her palm. Crying won’t solve anything, but she can’t stop it, she can’t stop her tears from rolling, as the night stretched on, she found herself trap
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 hesitated for a moment before stepping out, flanked by the guards who had taken her from her home. The morning sun was casting a warm glow, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.Olivia’s breathing shook, her heart raced in her chest, and she turned to the guard. “Where is this?” She raised the corner of her brows. “You said I would be taken to a hotel, so why here?”The guard glanced at her. “I got a different order within a short time, it’s here, not a hotel anymore.” He told her and gestured for her to follow, and Olivia complied.She glanced around. “Then, is this my groom’s home?” She asked, trying to discern her location, but the guard remained tight-lipped. As they entered th
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 that made is eyebrows crease.He shut his eyes momentarily, the thought of having a peaceful hour was never allowed, the door did not open, but he knock came again when he ignored it.“Come in!” h said with clenched jaw and turned to face the door, it slowly creaked open and Asher scoffed when he saw Roy making his way in. “Are you a parasite?” He asked Roy who halt by the door and lowered his gaze.“No sir,” He responded and Asher scoffed.“Then get out.” Asher ordered his, his voice low but cold as ice.Roy didn’t leave. “I am sorry to disturb you, but today is your wedding, I wanted to make sure you remember that.” Roy said glancing up.Asher met his eyes briefly and turned his gaze out
