PAWNED TO THE BILLIONAIRE

Liam's POV"It's time to throw a bouquet," I heard the cheerful MC call out, "I want every single lady to be here." "I want to remind you of the law of bouquet throwing," the MC said playfully, while most young people in the ballroom scream for joy. “Tell us,” they shouted, their voices filling the hall. “The lady who catches the bouquet is getting married this year,” the MC said and there was a riot of laughter in the ballroom. Most of the ladies at the reception, including the bridesmaids, came out to catch the bouquet. "With clapping ovations, we welcome our newest bride, today's beautiful bride, to throw the bouquet," he said, and noise and screams filled the air as Asher walked elegantly to the dance floor. “Okay ladies,” on the count of three let’s see who catches the bouquet". The ladies on the dance floor held out their hands, ready to catch the bouquet. But when the count reached zero, something happened that no one expected, wind entered the ballroom and blew the bouq

Asher's POV"Hey, where has my newest couple been?" Liam's mother said, smiling as she moved closer to us."We’ve been looking for you,” She said again."Asher, are you okay, your eyes are red like you've been crying." She asked curiously as she placed her hand on my arm and looked into my eyes.“I’m fine mom,” I replied, smiling at her."" I hope you will make this marriage work?" she asked again."Mom, Asher and I are tired, we need to get some rest," Liam finally spoke, trying to avoid further questions from his mother.“Have you already booked a hotel for us or what?”“Are you arranging our honeymoon?” he said again quietly.“Yes, your honeymoon is arranged, you are traveling to another country, your ticket is booked,” she said with a bright smile.I exchanged glances with Liam. It surprised me that my parents have never mentioned to me that I will travel out of the country for my honeymoon.“What country, Mom?” I asked. “Oh, you’re going to Germany,” she said grinning.“I’m sur

Liam's povAfter what happened at the hotel, Asher has refused to speak to me. She only faked a smile when our parents came to take us to the airport to board a flight taking us to Germany for our honeymoon. After arriving in Germany, I made several attempts to talk to Asher, but she ignored me every time I did. I knew what I did hurt her but it was never intentional to do so. I wanted to make things right with her, but she kept ignoring me and wasn't ready to hear me out. "Babe," I called softly. "This is the limousine that would be taking us to our hotel". I said as I already confirmed the plate number given to me and was sure that it was for us but my wife remained silent, her expression unreadable. I could feel some tension between us as we sat close to each other inside the vehicle. The air was so heavy with a lot of unresolved feelings. As the limousine drove away from the airport, I wondered what would be going through her mind.In less than one hour we got to the hotel. A

Liam's povAs I reached for my phone, I noticed a message popped up from an unknown number. I already knew it was probably from Lucy. I didn't want Asher to ask me what I was reading on my phone, so I got out of bed and took the phone into the bathroom. Asher had been so shaken by our encounter with the waiter yesterday that I didn't want her to get scared any further. I had assured her that I would take care of the situation, but I didn't even know how I was going to do that. I felt so helpless and alone."If you don't want your woman to get hurt, let us meet. I will send the address to you after you accept . Don't think it's an empty threat. I love you" My heart was racing as I read the message. This is getting really complicated. I was troubled, I know it would be best not to agree to meet with Lucy, but also I feel like I had no choice. I couldn't bear the thought of Asher getting hurt. I knew I had to do something, but I didn't know what to do. I was paralyzed with fear and inde

Asher's pov"It Should not be more than two hours after you left for your friend's place," I said, narrating the horrible incident to Liam who was seated at my bedside in the hospital."Those men pretended to be hotel guests, but they were actually there to harm me" I said, my voice shaking with fear. I tried to stop the tears that were fighting to drop from my eyes , but I couldn't and I let them out. "They beat me, punched me on my face, I shouted but no one heard me. It was after they left that I was able to call the hotel and they rushed me here" I sniffed and wiped my nose with the back of my palm. "Liam, I called your number countless times but you didn't answer," I sobbed, as he held me close to himself, trying to comfort me. "You made me think maybe you are in their custody, like you've been kidnapped or something" I paused, gathering my thoughts. "I thought they got you too, different thoughts were running through my mind. I thought something bad had happened to you" I
