Chapter Twenty ThreeASHLEY'S POV"I want you to take me to him, Chasse. I want to see him." I demanded but he doesn't even look at me. He was furious. I know. This was all my fault. If I hadn't gone to his house, he wouldn't have been in this position. I shouldn't have gone to his in the first place and now my mom sent him to jail where Lucas's men would torture him. Yes! Lucas has his men in jail because he had been bailed several times for committing a lot of atrocities but was taken out of jail by his mother. Those bastards!"No, I am not allowing you to go near him. Your mother caused him trouble. She sent him to prison even though he saved your life. But what did he get in return?" Parkinson said dipping his hands in his pocket. "I demand you take me to him now," I asked because I do not know the exact police station where he was sent to. Parkinson shot me a death glare. I frowned. "You know what? Just get back to the hospital. You are not even okay yet." He said and looked d
Chapter Twenty FourASHLEY'S POV Immediately those three words escaped my mouth, he pushed my hands away and shifted back. I knew this would happen. I have already prepared so much for this. "Let's get married," I repeated waiting for another reaction from him. The fact that he only smiled but the smile disappeared was so disturbing. "You don't know what you are saying. Just get out!" He muttered. "No. I won't. I want you to marry me, an Aryan. It's for the best for us all. I promise." I told him. "You are out of your mind." He told me and he was saying the truth. I was out of my mind. Out of my mind.For him!"You have to understand me, Aryan. I am doing this for both of us. I will bail you out in exchange for this." I told him hoping he would understand. Then he smirked. "Do you even know what marriage is? Do you have an idea that we are going to be committed to each other throughout our lives?" He asked and I knew what he was talking about. Marriage is all about love and commi
Chapter Twenty FiveARYAN's POV I watched as tears rolled out of her eyes. At one point, I don't even know what to do anymore. She kept insisting I should get married to her but it seemed that she just want to use me to save her company and reputation. It's for the best but the marriage was all about love, unity, and commitment. I don't think I have dreamt of marrying someone I don't love. Maybe mere infatuation. It's not love and it is not infatuation either. "I know you won't say yes to this easily. I need to save my company, and my reputation. The dating scandal between us. I am sure the company's profit would have dropped by another twenty percent. All because of you. I am still trying so hard to hold on but you are making this hard for me. You are making me lose hope." She said and I knew what she was saying. Anytime soon, the company would go bankrupt and its existence would be no more. " I am scared I would have to give up the company for Anita. I would lose everything I hav
Chapter Twenty-SixARYAN"What?" Parkinson gasped. "She asked you to marry her? So what did you say?"He added. I raised my head to look at h. I know he was shocked but it was too exaggerated. I sighed deeply. "I said I will marry her. What did you think? If I don't she will press more charges and I would have to pay those damages. Including ugh!" I shut my eyes. "What were you thinking?""What do you mean what was I thinking? I just need to agree. She cried for me to accept the deal. It was all a deal anyways. And we would be divorcing soon." I told him. "You don't know what you are getting yourself into, Aryan. You are going to be committed to her all your life. C'mon, what were you thinking? Call her and disagree." "What?" I said. "No, I can't do that. It was all a deal and with this, I can become successful too." "I pity you, my friend. The Macarsons are deadly. Especially, Sylvia, Ashley's mother. She would not even accept you for her daughter." "Really. I don't care. I am
Chapter Twenty SevenASHLEY'S POVWrapping a towel around my body, I heard a knock on the bathroom door. Who could that be? I couldn't help but ask myself. It was becoming louder. I walked to the door and opened it just to find Lucas smiling devilishly at me. "W...what are you doing here?" I asked thinking he had already gone. "My love." Lucas smiled and entered. "What do you want and stop calling me your love? It's annoying. Hey out." I said bravely. He hadn't learned his lessons yet. I knew he was here to force himself on me again and I will never let that happen whether he likes it or not. "You are my love and what you said right there was not true right?" He asked. I faked a smile and walked past him into my room. I was alert and my eyes searched for something I could use to chase him away. He was still healing with the plaster on his forehead. Then I saw a glass vase in the right corner of where I was staying. I went straight to it and used my back to cover it. I folded my a
Chapter Twenty Eight ASHLEY'S POVThree days later,*At Ten am*"Breaking news, Ashley Marcason announces her marriage plans as she releases pictures of her and her fiancee" I smiled as I put on my dress ready to go back to the office I heard the good news that everything was back to normal at the office. That the models in vogue are ready to model for our magazine next. It was such good news. It's been the past two days, I was busy with Aryan taking pictures for our pre-wedding photoshoot. During these times, I couldn't help but stare at Aryan. He was so gentle with me that I almost mistake his gentleness for another thing but I was wrong when told me his condition. Which includes us not having sex throughout our married life and I agreed to it. It was the best thing I could do at that moment. Of course, it was all a contract marriage. We have to know our limits and our boundaries so we won't get on each other's bad sides. It wasn't easy though. Getting married to someone you do
Chapter Twenty NineARYAN'S POVWe were wearing matching outfits and this made us the most fashionable couple in the country. As we walked out of her house with her hand wrapped around my arms, her body was close to mine. I was putting on a black turtle neck and leather trousers with a long, leather jacket. Hers was white. The clothes looked quite expensive but she would not allow me to see the price tag. To be frank, doing this with someone like her would be the last thing I would do. The arrogant CEO becoming my wife in a few days was unbelievable. Putting up a show to save our wretched lives from the scandal was dangerous. What if the people find out? I had promised her that it would never get out to anyone. It was a promise I was forcing myself to fulfill because I never planned on marrying anyone soon. This was one of the reasons I told her about my condition. We are not going to get closer to each other not to talk of having intimacy with her. That was not part of the plan an
Chapter ThirtyWriter's POVThe security in charge of the conference room door opened it for them and they walked inside smiling at each other. They were still smiling at each other even though they were in front of the board of directors. Mr. Adrian, Mr. Bolivar, Perky, and Anita watched them in amusement as the couple smiled at each other. Anita rolled her eyes. The news of her wedding took her in shock and she wasn't expecting it at all. Aryan and Ashley are still smiling. They were doing it on purpose and this went on for some seconds they looked away from each other and Ashley smiled. "Oh, I am sorry. We are late." She said and clung to Aryan. The board of directors was all taken aback at what they saw, forgetting their manners to stand up as the CEO walks in. They all stood up on their feet even though Anita felt reluctant to stand on her feet. She eventually got up on her feet because that was the normal thing for them to do. They both walked to the chairs. Aryan pulled out t
THE END!Chapter 140 Writer's POV."You think you can just live happily after everything you have done?""What? I have not done anything bad to you. Not at all." Ashley muttered. "Shut up, you have done a lot to me. A lot. You stole his heart from me. Do you think you are the only wealthy one here? We were supposed to take all of your money and elope together but because of your stupid body, you didn't allow it to happen. How could you be so selfish?" Ashley finally understood where everything was coming from. "I never asked for it. Everything that is happening. I never asked for it. I thought you are my best friend. How could you do this to me?" "I was never your friend, Ashley. You are too wealthy to be my friend. Who do you think was behind the illness that had been happening to you? Of course, I am the one. I was the one who injected the drug in your drink and you stupidly fell into my trap. Sex addict!" Olivia said as she bursts into laughter. Ashley was dumbfounded and didn'

Chapter 138WRITER'S POVLucille sat down on the couch in the foyer as she sipped her coffee slowly. She read through her social media account and saw pictures of Aryan surfacing on the internet. She called the maids but none of them answered her. She was furious and decided to get up and check what they were all doing. On getting to the kitchen, she saw them all cornered up scrolling, smiling, laughing, and drooling. She wondered what they were all looking at that made them not answer her call. She didn't make a sound as she moved closer to them and stood behind them. "So this what you have been looking at?" She asked with her tone harsh on them. They knew they were all in trouble. They shivered and quickly kept their phone. "What are you all looking at? Answer me! I am asking you all a question." She repeated. "We are very sorry ma'am.." One of the maids apologized but that doesn't make Lucille stop asking questions. "Give me that phone!"She ordered."Ma'am.""You don't want
Chapter 137Writer's POVEver since Aryan heard that Chloe was his daughter, he has been showing love and care. Showering here with fatherly love, creating time to spend with her. Ashley missed Aryan so much but she didn't want to talk about it. She wants to focus on how to get her company and properties back. Aryan agreed to let her go back to Canada with his daughter on the account that he helped her. The house they will stay in was already arranged and he had already arranged some of the men to accompany them and he would follow as soon as he had found the right person to head the branch he is currently. Then he thought of Madrigal. For the past years, Madrigal had been a very good friend and employee to him. So he made him the Head Manager there and soon, he followed and arrived in Canada and everyone went crazy over him. He had promised to help Ashley get all of her properties back including her money. Parkinson was miraculously transferred to Canada to continue to serve as t
Chapter 136ARYAN'S POV"How dare you? You used me! You made me do this with you just to spite me. How could you do this to me?" Ashley said and I smiled. I told her the truth. "What do you think? Do you think I will just accept that little kid as my daughter? Then go get a DNA test. If she matches to be my daughter then it's fine but if turned otherwise, you are in trouble with me.""I can't believe you. Isn't it obvious? You fucked me because you want revenge?""Doesn't it worth it? Didn't you enjoy it too?" I asked and she frowned. Why was she getting angry now? She loved it, doesn't she? She moaned for me and we both enjoyed it. To be very honest, I missed her taste. She tastes so fucking good. The face she makes when she cum and those curves of hers. "Shut up. Where is my daughter?" She asked. "She is up already," I told her and I don't even know why I became soft for her. I just wanted to treat her badly but I couldn't try it. I thought just one taste of her would allow me t
Chapter 135ASHLEY'S POVHis erection poked my butt and I suddenly got wet. Every touch of his drives me insane. He fanned his breath on the skin of my neck and that alone, made me wet more. But this just doesn't feel right. He has a mission he wants to carry out on me but I will never let that happen. He is angry at us. Angry at me. Who knows if he wants to kill me?I will never let that happen. "Stop it," I muttered. He didn't. He continued but the moment he cupped my breast was unbearable. Too unbearable for me and it is getting so hard for me to breathe. I moved away and I slapped him. He can't do that to me. I moved out of his hold and I turned to him. He had nothing but a blank expression. He stood motionless and I watched as his vein bobbed dangerously. What does he want from me? "I told you to stop but you won't even listen to me. I came here because you said you wanted to talk. But look? You are harassing me." I said thinking he would say something but he said nothing.
Chapter 134ARYAN'S POVIt's time to get my revenge on her. Sweet revenge. I am going to ruin her till no point of return. But right now, I crave nothing but her body. It's been so long since I have touched her and now, it seems like forever. I don't care if Lucas had touched her for seven years while I was away. She used me and seduced me then so now, I am ready to return the favor. To get down with her and ruin her with no feelings attached. She wants me to hear her out right? Is that what she wants? Then I will give it to her. I had purposely texted her to come to my house. Tonight will be the best night of my life. It's already past six in the evening. I hope she won't bring the little girl along but I was disappointed when she came with her but that doesn't stop me from going through with my plans. I have planned to frustrate and torture her till she submits to me. I want her to be submissive to me. "Good evening sir." The little girl waved to me. "Good Evening," I replied
Chapter 133Writer's POV"Boss, we have a problem. Collins and co had already terminated our contract with them. They don't want us to work with us anymore." Lucas's secretary announced to Lucas. Lucas sprang up from his seat. "What did you say?" He shouted. Just then another lady rushed in with another guy. This time Lucas couldn't take it anymore. He paced around wondering why everything seemed to be falling apart in one day. "What is it? Fucking speak up!" He shouted at the top of his voice. The employees trembled on the spot feeling the tension booming in. They knew everything was falling apart. "I...I don't know.""What the fuck do you mean you don't know? You know. Speak up. What happened? Why did you rush in?""Three of our containers got burnt to ashes." The lady said shakily. "The yacht bringing in our wine products had sunk." The guy announced. Lucas didn't get himself anymore. It was then Olivia entered with joy and she stopped when she saw their faces gloomy. She mov
Chapter 132ARYAN'S POVPain. That was all I felt at that moment she was with me. It dawned on me that she knew nothing about the whole thing. Everything that Lucas had said to me in the prison was all his idea and not hers. But I still find it hard to believe it was all Sylvia's idea. So even when Lucas called her in front of me in prison. She said she loved him. I heard it. It was her voice I heard. I don't care. And that little girl can never be my daughter. I don't have a daughter. I am all alone in this world. It's been seven years. How could I have a seven years old daughter without me knowing? She lied to me. She told me once before that she was only stressed. That only meant one thing. The day I caught her coming back from somewhere late, that means she was pregnant then. All that time. But I wasn't the only one who fucked her then. Lucas was the first. I could see the pain in her eyes when she saw me with that lady. Well, it was not my fault. She offered herself to me and
