Kiss Me, My Wrong Bride Chapter 10: A New Hope
Although Calantha’s feelings were eroded by the days Asher locked her in his room, the transaction Asher offered surprised her. Calantha read what was stated in the transaction. The content of this transaction was that she must pretend to be Selena, becoming Lady Pittman until Asher found the real Selena. Asher would pay her with money. She realized that all the terms of this transaction were to Asher’s advantage. Asher had the right to control her everything until this transaction was no longer valid. And Calantha could not have any rights but money, a lot of money. But she could only get that money when Selena came back. It was an unfair transaction for her. “I will not sign this transaction,” Calantha said. “Give me a good reason,” Asher said. He looked at Calantha with an angry look. “This contract is not fair to me. Except for money, I don’t have any rights. Even if you find Selena, I can only get the money you’ll pay me. And you may control everything, even the change of co
Kiss Me, My Wrong Bride Chapter 11: Selena's Double
Calantha’s POV That evening, I received a copy of the transaction from the butler. I could have asked him to make a copy of the transaction for me as soon as he asked his assistant to compose a new copy of the transaction. But I did not. Because I took a test on him. I wanted to check if Asher was a reliable partner. Asher kept his promise, so I could trust him to complete the transaction without making it a worthless trade. I put the transaction in a safe place and suddenly missed Gael. I had been taking care of him ever since he was born. We have lived together for more than 10 years, a strong connection created by trust and love has made us the only and most important relatives of each other, even if we are half-sisters. I wondered what Gael was doing at that moment. Maybe he was learning, he was working hard. I thought about how to escape from Asher’s mansion, but I immediately rejected all options on my own. Unless I got help from someone else, I could never get out of thi

Third person’s POV Asher walked into Rosé’s living room, the butler was already waiting. He took Asher’s black overcoat. “Welcome home, my young master,” he said. Asher sat down on the sofa, he was tired. The butler brought him a cup of coffee as usual. “Where is she?” Asher asked. “Miss Ellis is sleeping in her bedroom?” The butler answered. Asher looked outside. The sun had risen. Asher stroked his hair like a habit, leaning against the sofa, closing his eyes. He said, “Didn’t I ask her to always get up at dawn?” The butler said, “That’s right, sir. But Miss Ellis did well, and she could fulfill almost every teacher’s request. So they set her up with a more comfortable timetable for a few days before they taught her to dance.” “She’s not as easy to bully as I thought,” Asher said, gritting his teeth. “Since she was a child, she has had to do many works for a living,” the butler explained. Calantha’s effort and rapid adaptation amazed the butler. “I see.” When Calantha wa
Kiss Me, My Wrong Bride Chapter 13: Dance
The next few days, Calantha learned how to dance. She liked it because it was the only thing that make she fell comfortable at Rosé. The other reason was, when she learned how to dance, the teachers would allow her to wear gorgeous dresses. It was as heavy as making Calantha fall in love; she wondered when she danced, if she looked like a princess, or if she looked beautiful.Through the butler, she knew that Layla was his assistant, known as “Lola”.Calantha did not see Layla anymore, she did not know where Layla was and what she was doing. She wondered when she could work on her escape plan. However, she trusted Layla, because of Layla's appearance at Rosé. Asher often came home for dinner. Sometimes he was late, Calantha thought she would eat alone, but the butler had asked her to wait for him.She speculated about Asher’s strangeness.Was it because she was familiar to Selena?He locked her up in Rosé, so Asher’s attitude had a tremendous impact on her life at that time.One day,

Calantha had to join an elite party once again. But it wasn’t like the ballroom party, where she was just a side character, nobody noticed her, she just went there, hid in a corner, danced with Asher and left. At this new party, she was the protagonist.How could Calantha confidently stand in front of the Pittman family’s members, the true nobles, and communicate with them?Calantha had asked herself many times, but she couldn’t find the answer. These sessions on the rules and conduct of the elite only kept her from acting low, but did not help her gain confidence and courage when faced with people whose social status was higher than hers.Calantha was under pressure.She ate less. In her last sessions with rigorous teachers, she thought that these sessions were not as scary as she had ever thought.And when she could no longer see them, Calantha became confused and panicked like she had lost a support.Calantha continued to live her boring days in a lavish and splendid mansion. No one

“Is that why I have to listen to you? Asher, I don’t believe Bertha would leave me alone when I was in danger,” Calantha said, glaring at Asher with a provocative look.“What gave you such strong faith?” Asher said sarcastically.“Because I’m her daughter-in-law, I met her as Selena,” Calantha insisted.Asher felt both funny and angry at her naïve thoughts.“As expected, this little lamb should be locked in Rosé, to avoid her causing more trouble for me,” he thought.Asher whispered in Calantha’s ear. He said, “Of course, listen to my every request, because you’re mine. Calantha, as soon as you signed that transaction, you were mine.”“It’s all temporary,” Calantha countered.“Oh, so after Selena returns, do you think you can still live in this upper-class society?” Asher said. “Best of all, don’t think or care about anyone in this elite, just focus on me. And don’t let me find out you’ve been in stealthy contact with anyone, or I won’t take revenge on you. I know, Calantha, you’re st
Kiss Me, My Wrong Bride Chapter 16: Be Harmed
Calantha’s POVAll I had to do at that dinner was shut up and eat.I was happy about it, because at least it didn’t get me into any trouble.During the meal, Asher occasionally watched me.What did he want?I was not a kid, and I always bothered him.After dinner, at Bertha’s request, Mary took me to places where there were many ladies of the Pittman family for me to get to know.“Long time no see, Lady Anderson,” said a straight dark-haired girl, whose face was filled with freckles.How ironic! She didn’t call me Lady Pittman, even though the members of this family all attended Asher and Selena’s wedding.Apparently, Selena wasn’t very popular with her family.I wondered what I should do, answer ironically or keep silent.“Selena, this is Vivi, Asher’s cousin. A smart and active girl,” Mary said in a pale, idle voice.She would lull people to sleep if she would read a speech with that accent.“Nice to meet you, Vivi,” I smiled elegantly and properly.“Mary, just Vivi? don’t forget me

“Don’t worry, I asked the doctor to come right away,” Bertha said and sat down next to me. Her arrival reassured me. “Thank you,” I said. ”Asher re-aligned my joint.” “What?” Bertha looked at me in surprise and then looked at Asher. “Asher, you should let the doctor do it.” Asher shrugged, “I can do it professionally. Why do I need to wait for a doctor?” I heard Bertha’s sigh, and she said, “Selena is just a lady, she needs to be treated gently.” “Oh,” Asher gave me an ironic look and a smirk. “My mistake, I’m sorry.” When the doctors arrived, Bertha immediately asked them to check my ankles. She watched my entire inspection. My gaze could not leave her. Of course, Bertha recognized my gaze, too, and she answered me with a gentle smile. For the first time in my life, there was a woman who treated me like that. I suddenly remembered my mother, wondering where she was all this time. Would she remember me and Gael? And my father- “Oh my God, our talented doctors told me your situ
