Lessandra's POV:"Thank you." I said softly after he escorted me to the opposite side of my apartment."Wait." I was shocked when he stopped me from just opening the door of his car so that I could get off."Why?" I asked confused."Can you just stay at home? I mean, you're my wife now." he added."Correction, your fake wife." I said while showing him my beautiful smile."Yeah. But what if Grandpa asks why we're not together?" he said suddenly. I could not speak for a moment because of what he said. But if you think about it, we haven't gotten to know each other very well yet so I'm also not comfortable living with him."Maybe you can find a way, can't you?" I asked him. He just looked into my eyes then he just shrugged."Living together is the only way, Lessandra." he said seriously so I swallowed."But I do not know you." my direct justification. He looked serious then he barely adjusted the necktie he was wearing. He didn't speak anymore so I let him know again that I was getting o
Lessandra's POV:After Ashley slapped and tweaked me, she immediately acted as if she had done nothing wrong to me.I slowly clenched my fist. I was just holding back from hurting her as well. Somehow I still have respect left in my body despite what she did to me."Don't make any mistake of telling my brother what I have done to you if you don't want me to do it again to you. Also, it's not the only thing I can do, my dear Lessanna. Do you understand?" she said emphatically as she fixed her make-up. I clenched my fist again. I also cleaned myself up after I went out of the bathroom first."Are you alright?" Ashton's opening question to me when I got back to our table. Perhaps, Ashton knew that her sister did not feel well for me because I could see the concern in his eyes.I slowly sat back in my chair then I just smiled at Ashton."Yes, I'm okay." I said. I also quickly took a glass of water and immediately drank it.Ashley didn't come back to our table either because a VIP costumer
Lessandra's POV:"Ashton!" I called Ashton when I saw him leaving the house. He was very well dressed and seemed to be chasing time. He stopped when I called him, but I knew he still didn’t pay attention to me because he was talking to someone over the cellphone."What?" he asked annoyed after he dropped the call of the person he was talking to earlier on the line."Where are you going? Are you coming home for dinner?" I asked him one question after another. He just frowned at me after he looked at the wristwatch he was wearing."Stop acting like a real wife, Lessandra! You're just my fake wife, remember?" I recoiled because of the sudden shaking of my knees. I fainted at the words he uttered in my face."I have to go, bye!" he added and left like he didn't care. When he finally left, I just sat on the floor while hugging my knees.I never thought that after my decision, my life would end like this. It's been a month since I moved in with him. At first, he's okay, we're okay. But as t
Lessandra's POV:"Why did you do that?" Ashton asked me coldly when we were outside. He also rubbed his sinuses then wiped his face with his two hands."I just think it's the right thing to do." My response was calm. His forehead furrowed even more then he became restless. He seems to wanted to do something he can’t do, so, he stops it."What are you doing here?" He asked again. I can see that he's still bothered. But he just didn’t know how to get the mess out of his mind."As what I've said earlier, I'm here for you." I answered him honestly. His eyes narrowed as he looked at me. I can see different emotions in his eyes, but none of them is familiar to me."Lessandra, tell me the truth, do you like me?" I don’t know where he got that idea and why that’s what he asked me. I couldn’t answer right away because I wasn’t ready for that question."Ex — excuse me?" I stuttered to say. I also recoiled because of his strange stare and the way he slowly approached me."Ashton—"Tsup!I close
Ashton's POV:Sobs* sobs*I woke up because of the small sobs I heard. When I opened my eyes I was exposed to the dazzling light from outside the window. I got up and gently rubbed my eyes to erase my drowsiness.I rolled my eyes across my room and when my gaze shifted to the wall clock it was only then that I confirmed what time it was. It's already eight in the morning. Good thing and I don’t have an office job right now. It's Saturday and it's my day off. Grandpa is in the company now.Sniff* sniff*I stood up to find where the faint crying I had heard earlier was coming from. As I stood up, I was exposed to the scattered clothes. These belongs to us, mine and Lessandra. I also looked at the bed and rubbed my forehead when it was confirmed that my bedsheet has blood stains.Fvck! What have I done? How could I do that when I knew Lessanna was the one I loved and not her twin sister? Damn! I'm confused.I hurried to the bathroom to look for Lessandra. I don’t know how she feels right
Lessandra's POV:Riinnngggg!The repeated ringing of my cellphone made me get up. When I looked at who the caller was, an unknown number was listed. I was even more badtripped when I found out that the caller had just called the wrong number.I threw my cellphone on the bed then I fell back to bed. I'm still sleepy. It's Sunday and there's no school so it's okay for me to get up at noon."Lessandra!" I angrily faced Ashton. What is this man's problem? I'm still sleepy, thank goodness!"What?" I asked him annoyed."You need to get up there, Ashley and Grandpa are coming today. We're having lunch here." he said which awakened my spirit."With Ashley?" my lazy question."Yes. Why, is there a problem?" he asked. I shook my head in response."I thought, Ashley doesn't want to see me? Why did she agree to this lunch?" I asked him. I'm a little bit curious too."Grandpa invited her. She doesn't refuse when Grandpa comes. Besides, don't worry about my sister, you'll get used to her too." he s
Lessandra's POV:"Lessanna, tell me about your life." I looked at Ashton's Grandpa in shock because of what he said. When I recovered I smiled at him then I told him about what had happened to me recently, as he wanted to hear."It's okay. I'm just a little busy with work. But I'm fulfilling my obligations as Ashton's wife." I said smiling. But deep inside, I'm holding my fear. As much as possible Ashton shouldn’t have noticed that I found out anything today."Is that so? That's good." he nodded then turned his attention to Ashton, something that caused me to take a deep breath.Ashley, on the other hand, was still staring at me. If her stare was just deadly, I would probably have been lying here in my seat before."How about you, Ashton. Should I expect to have a grandchild with you?" he asked Ashton with a smile.Cough! Cough!I was coughing because I didn’t expect his Grandpa to ask Ashton that question."Are you okay?" Ashton asked me worriedly. I immediately nodded to him to say
Lessandra's POV:Knock! Knock!I’m here now outside Ashton’s room to talk to him. Last night, as I was thinking I thought of just ending the contract I signed with Ashton."Yes?" he asked while raising his brows. But when he saw me outside the door, a smile suddenly replaced the frown on his forehead."Ashton, can I talk to you?" I hesitated to question him. His forehead furrowed again then he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer to him.DUG. DUG. DUG.Suddenly my heartbeat became abnormal again because of what he did. Every time he gets too close to me, my heart suddenly starts beating so fast. It's like it wants to get out of my chest which is I know that it isn't good."What is it you wanted to talk about, sweetheart? Did you miss me?" he whispered close to my ear. I suddenly felt a strange electricity in my body because of what he did. It was as if any moment now I would run out of air inside my body.I moved slightly away from Ashton so he suddenly looked different. Perhap
