Sarah’s povI think I am about to achieve something in near future. It was a hunch. I was this close to my success. To my one and only fiancé.Justin!I did not know what went between that maid and Justin. However, for the first time in my life, I saw Justin getting scared of something.It was written on his face.When she was calling that stupid Sean my fiancé, Justin did not want me to tell her that Sean was not her husband.Did Justin lie to her? Justin never lied in his entire life. Why now?The way he tried to hold her when she went to Sean for attacking him. He was cupping her cheek so gently when I entered his room, I won’t lie. I was hell jealous.The way he was looking at her. Why?I was his fiancée and he never looked at me like that.Wasn’t it part of the contract that they were not allowed to communicate? She was not allowed to use the bathroom in his presence.

Sarah’s pov“Welcome, Ms. Walters. So, this is how you will honor your agreement?” She was not expecting me to discover her secret.So, she was going out, enjoying her life while also trying to lure her trophy husband. She was cunning beyond my expectations.I was enjoying her shocked face. She swallowed her spit and took off her old, shabby black jacket that was oversized like the rest of her usual clothes.Wait a minute. The skirt she was wearing had better fitting tonight.“What were you doing outside? You do know that your contract requires you to stay here in this very room. And here! Look at you! You are busy sleeping around.”She shook her head and started taking an old watch off her wrist. A low chuckle escaped my lips when I realized that it was a man’s watch.“Whose watch are you wearing? You have started picking pockets too, maid?” She closed her eyes and blew a long-held brea

Ashley Walters pov How did he know that it was my birthday? Nobody knew except me or my orphanage staff and friends. “I did not know how your friend dug me out and called me.” He raised his hand which held his phone, “She wanted to wish you, on your birthday.” Aniya? I felt tears quickly welling up in my eyes. I missed her so much. I blinked back the tears and was about to open my mouth to thank him when I realized that I was no more talking to him. Ignoring him, I started getting rid of my shoes and sat on the carpet to take off my socks. He crouched down before me and started helping me with it. I wanted to stop him but how. I did not want to talk. He was the one I got married to. He showed me his friendlier side and hid the fact from me that he was my husband. His granny told me that I was not allowed to talk to him. I had this image in my mind of a bratty boy who still wore diapers. He proved to be the opposite. He was kind, empathetic, funny, and caring. But now I could no

Ashley Walters povThis time he groaned but did not stop me, “Urgh. You are a brat, Ashley. My innocent t-shirt!” Once I wiped my cheeks, I raised my head where amusement was dancing on his face.“That’s all you have got, Ashley Walters?” He clicked his tongue looking down at me. I was so close to him that I could easily kiss his chin.“Why?” I fluttered my eyes dramatically, “You have got a different move here? Show me what you have got!” I shrugged.We both were oblivious to the fact that our faces were drenched in caramel cream, we smelled of caramel and we both were sitting under the table like kids.“I …” he whispered causing my heart to race, “have got… more cream to rub on your face.” With that, very gently he again started touching his cheeks to mine. This time I did not get back.I not only stayed there but closed my eyes. I could sense the warmth of his breath on my face. When I no more felt the skin-to-skin contact, I opened my eyes and found him staring at my lips.I held

Ashley Walters pov:ShameInsultHumiliationPainEverything started attacking me at once. How dare she? What did she think of herself? Why was she doing it?Thank God, I opened the door on time when she was about to leave, otherwise, she would have killed me if she had read the chat written at the back of the door.I was not the one who proposed Justin. Her fight was with the Deluca family. I was just a pawn. I was supposed to get my money and leave.No questions asked.But would I be able to leave Justin that easily?That was the question that kept popping up in my mind lately. The cake on that bed was still there.“Kitten? Ashley?” I jumped a little when I heard Justin calling my name and knocking the door.I did not reply to Justin. I wanted him to believe that I had gone to sleep.“I know you are still awake, kitten. I have got your necklace.” My heart missed a beat. Did Sarah give that necklace to Justin?I thought she was more interested in wearing it. Why would she do that?Ig
