One night stand with my boss Chapter 51
‘Marry me.’Something is definitely wrong with Asher. Or was it my heart? Because it kept on thumping hard almost painfully against my chest I could barely breathe. I guess that what's happens if the man you like that’s your boss proposes to you out of the blue.‘don't stare at me as though I have horns. I just proposed to you.’‘I know but getting proposed to wasn't my thought when I came here. I ..’ I allowed my voice to trail off not knowing what else to say but my breathing was becoming steady.How was my getting married going to pay Elle's hospital bills?‘it's a contract marriage. I will pay your sister's medical bills and in exchange be my wife.’That was a good deal. I have nothing to lose. He would pay for Elle’s surgery and I would even gain more because I would finally be with him even though he might not have feelings for me.‘but why me sir? You can have any woman you like but why did you choose me?‘my mother threatened to kill herself.’I gasped. I didn't expect that. I

Asher parked in front of the house this time. This was the first time he had come to where I lived. I pressed the bell hoping Garrett wasn't home. Thankfully, I received no answer. I used my key to open the door and I walked in with Asher following closely behind me. He locked the door behind him.‘You can make yourself at home if you want.’ I said to him handing him a bottle of water.‘I don’t want to. Let’s go to where your things are. I know all these came impromptu but we need to be fast. Remember my dinner with my mother.’ He said walking past me to the hallway.I signed.‘That’s not the way.’ I called after him.I walked to my room and arranged my clothes carefully into bags. I left the ones Garrett gifted me with on the bed.When I was done I had just two luggages filled. I saw a familiar bag staring at me from the desk with a red color peeking out. I made a mad rush towards it and grabbed the bag. I tucked the red gown inside my handbag.Asher stared at me suspiciously. ‘what'

‘You know, we can stay in the same room since we are getting married. I don't see why you don’t want that.’ Asher was saying as he followed me to my room.We have been having this particular conversation ever since we arrived at Garrett's place. I wanted to stay in my room for now and when we were married, I would move into his room, but Asher was whining and he wouldn't let me sleep in a different room.‘let's keep to tradition. I will move into your room after our wedding.’ I opened my box and started arranging in the room I chose to be mine. Initially, I thought we would share a room but he mistakenly let it slip that I could have my room, I welcomed the idea and now he's against it. Deep down I was enjoying his whines.‘okay.’ He slumped on the bed.‘have it your way. Here's your room. I’m moving in too.’ He said.Where was the cold and collected Asher I once knew?‘no, you are not. You are going to stay in your room for the next three days until we are married.’ I said to him as

I almost ran out of the car when the car finally stopped in front of our office. The time was after nine already. I opened the door and immediately I got out, reporters swarmed around me.‘Are you the future Mrs Hardin?’‘why the sudden marriage announcement? Are you perhaps pregnant?’‘how long have you known each other?’‘what did he give you in exchange for a ring? Seeing that you are not from a nice family background.’I turned to face the reporter in shock. How did he know that fact?Asher was by my side immediately. He glared at the reporter who had asked that last question.‘what do you mean by that?’ Asher’s voice was cold and the man shifted back in fear.‘hem. I am saying that she's a normal girl who is not in your rank, it is almost obvious that something is not right.’ The man said thrusting his Mic on my face.What the hell am I supposed to say??‘You shouldn't say things that might put you in trouble.’ Asher warned as the moved a bit away from me.‘the thing is, we are i

‘What would you like to order?’ Asher asked handing me the menu.‘something light. Today's the Photoshoot right?’ I asked‘Yeah. I would recommend you take something light.’ He said waving at the waiter standing close by.‘what would you like to order sir?’ the waiter asked bowing slightly.‘I want something light. Give me your recommendations.’‘and you ma'am?’ the waiter turned to me.‘I want the same thing as him.’ I replied not knowing what to make out of the menu since almost everything was in Spanish.The waiter left only to return about ten minutes later with crispy potatoes And tomato sauce.We dug into the food. I could son my eat little because I wanted my dress to fit perfectly without my stomach prodding out.‘Are you done?’ Asher asked staring up at me from his food.‘yeah. I’m full.’ I replied.‘You barely ate.’ He glanced at my plate.‘I can’t eat too much or else my dress won't fit.’‘but you still need to eat. You haven’t eaten all day.’‘I only missed breakfast and I

Asher's pov‘open this door Asher!’ the knocking persisted and the ringing of the bell was continuous.‘if you don't, I will get the master key right now!’ her tiny voice was trying to make me feel timid.She can be very extreme at times and it makes me wonder how she's my mother. Thankfully Lorie was in the bathroom so she couldn't hear my mother's voice but she could hear the ringing.I reluctantly opened the door. She stormed in immediately panting.‘how dare You?’ she asked taking in huge breaths.‘before you blow off streams, have your seat.’ I said to her ignoring her very mugged angry face.‘what is this that I'm hearing about marriage?’ she asked ignoring my offer for her to sit. She stood in front of the closed door facing the house while I was facing the door with my back turned against the house.‘You wanted me to get a wife didn’t You?’‘I wanted someone worthy enough. You went and got yourself someone who's a little above the slum.’‘Mom!’‘don't you dare mom me?’ She was

Asher's povI stared at the departing figure of my fiancée she had looked at me with enquiring eyes checking if I would be okay alone. She left after I nodded at her. I glanced around the room’s surroundings it was spacious and the windows were opened letting in fresh air.I waited for Lorie’s mother to start talking or asking me questions about myself but she was quiet. I decided to look at her face. She wasn't looking at me, she was staring at the little girl who was covered with blankets, and different kinds of pipes were sticking out of her. I’m not an emotional person but my heart moved for the little girl. A young child like her ought to be in school playing and gossiping with friends but she lay here fighting for her life. From my view, she was a replica of Lorie. Her head was covered in a beanie so I couldn’t tell if they shared the same colour of hair.Lorie’s mother got up and beckoned me to follow her. She walked closer to the bed and sat on it. I followed her quietly stand

Lorie's pov.Splash!I woke up with my whole body shaking to the sound of receding footsteps. Was it raining? Or have that evil Sabrina doused water or coffee on me again? It took me a few seconds to open my eyes. I glanced at my surroundings. It was a warehouse. It was dusty, it must not be in use anymore. Why was I here? Then I remembered. I had been kidnapped. I would have screamed out the panic building up in my chest but thankfully, my mouth was covered with a cloth.I needed to think and I needed to do it fast before my captor came.I struggled to set my hands free but whoever tied me up did a good job.Who would do this to me?Who was I kidding?There are a lot of people who would do this to me to be in my shoes.I understand the fact that everyone hates me, especially ladies because I stole or rather took the prize; Asher. But I don't think doing that is enough to kidnap me a day to my wedding. It was night already, Asher must have noticed that I was missing. My poor mother.
