Ashley came out of the bathroom, peeking first to see if Ian was in the room and sped into the closet he had walked into previously, she would at least find something she could wear there. Cementing the fact that she was apparently married to the man was the amount of female clothes in her size in the closet. She gaped and rotated as she looked up and rows of clothes met her line of sight everywhere she turned.

She had never seen so many clothes at once. The big sized shirts dwarfed the female ones and she furrowed her brows at the fact that she and Ian shared the closet.

Ian didn’t seem like someone anyone voluntarily shared anything with, she wondered what possessed her. She wondered even more what possessed him. Ian Hills and Ashley Toma, the weirdest pairing alive. She wondered how he even wooed her to acceptance with his soily attitude.

She picked out what looked most comfortable and sat on the bed, successfully subsiding her unbidden thoughts of her best friend’s brother – her

    “I have good news and bad news”, Yu Zhen proclaimed from the front of the door he aggressively banged open. Ian took a deep breath and lowered his gun. That was honestly an entrance punishable by death – and the main reason Yu Zhen didn’t sleep in the same house with him most times.He looked to Ashley and on seeing her face he knew he was in for trouble. Her eyes were wide and she looked between him and the gun still in his hands – stupid decision on his part – with something akin to pure terror.“I can explain”, he started, he couldn’t explain in a way she would understand, but it was better to say anything than to leave her wondering about her husband being a murderer or something.“You absolutely can not! You have a gun on the bed I sleep on?!”, she shrieked like he knew she would. She tried to get out of his grip but he firmly secured her from running away.“It’s for security purposes-”“Yeah, to kill me if I ever made you annoyed over the night!”, Ashley interrupted him in a lou

    Ian's body sunk into the bed, the worn upholstery offering little comfort as he processed the weight of his recent actions. The echoes of the adrenaline-fueled confrontation reverberated in his mind like a relentless drumbeat, each thud reminding him of the choices that had led them to this precarious moment.Ashley, still reeling from the shock, sat opposite him. Her eyes, wide and wary, held a mixture of fear and confusion. The silence between them was palpable, pregnant with unspoken words that hung heavy in the air. The room that was filled with warm and fuzzy feelings before felt more like a battleground, he accepted the fault.With a heavy sigh, Ian broke the silence again, his voice carrying the burden of self-reproach. "I didn't want you to feel unsafe, but I should have handled that differently."Ashley's gaze lingered on him, her eyes probing for a deeper understanding. The room seemed to contract around them as they grappled with the repercussions of his impulsive decision.

    Ian hurriedly took the already fired gun away from her hands. She was like a 3 month old with speedy hands."THERE WAS A BULLET IN IT?", she shrieked and Ian winced. Did she think he would bring out a gun without ammunition? Was that why she forgave it quickly?"Yes, I wanted to protect-""You kept a bullet-filled gun where I slept?!", She asked and stood up from the bed. Ian stretched out a hand and was immediately smacked in the face.He flexed his jaw and realized that the moments she hit him in the process of waking up were unintentional because this one hurt like hell."What if that was a kidnapper?", He grabbed her hands successfully in one of his and put the gun carefully in his back pajama pocket. He would have dropped it in a drawer but she could come back for "experimentation" and accidentally murder herself."How would a kidnapper get through all these layers of security, just one of them is enough", she grumbled, her conviction waning."That wasn't what happened with you y

    Ian detached from Ashley to follow Yu Zhen. Something disgusting was brewing and he didn’t like it at all. Why did Mark decide to give over the reins of his company to help their father? Mark was never one to like working under another person, so it seemed utterly fishy.He sat at his laptop with Yu Zhen linking it to his phone so he could see what Yu Zhen was seeing.“When are they planning on announcing the merging?”, Ian asked seriously, checking through their stocks. No wonder Mark’s stock prices had been reducing, he was luring people back to his side, the fickle people Ian had won over with the help of his wife – she was really convincing when it came to talking to people. Mark and Reid were planning on taking the market by surprise, winning people over to their side. It was a good thing he had all the important shares, they could never get the Hills Corp.“Next month, now I have worse news”, Yu Zhen said, his voice thick with anger. Ian furrowed his brows.

    When Ian got into the room, Ashley was already asleep again, sprawled in the middle of the bed, prenetin we any other human entry onto the bed. A small smile bloomed on Ian's face. And she dared say he was the careless sleeper. He was the most careful when she was in the bed with him, making sure he wrapped around her perfectly in such a way that she would be comfortable too.But his adorable little wife was monopolizing the giant bed.Forgetting everything wrong with him even for a second was all he needed at that point and so he lay beside her at the edge of the bed, waiting for her to shift away and back to him like she always did, at least that one would be muscle memory.The thought of her memory poured maggot infested water on his train of thought.He would have to be an asshole again – something he had yet to completely rectify from before – in order to rectify the illness she had been given because of him. He didn't care anymore, he would find Leon and kill him, brutally and

    Ian tore a wad of papers that had just been handed to him by his assistant. An entire team of people cowered in front of his desk as he delivered the most depressing speech anyone would ever get the misfortune of hearing.“Useless. Every single one of you”, he ended and threw the entire stack to the floor. “Fix it”, he growled and looked to Yu Zhen for them to be kicked out. Yu Zhen closed his eyes in helplessness as he gently shooed seventy percent of the company’s employees away. Truly,, he had slacked off, but they didn’t deserve to bear the weight of Ian’s general disposition. He had been subjected to it multiple times in the past week.Ian had not slept a wink in ten days, he was snappy to his family and friends, horrible to his employees and rude to Ashley, of all people. He knew what Ian was trying to do and it was ridiculously stupid, even for him. He expected Ian to try to reenact cute moments or lovey-lovey moments, not snippets of a time she literally hated him.“We need to

    Ashley had been called in the middle of another boring routine that Chloe had forced on her to help her regain her memories. It wasn’t that serious, she had lost some memories, but it was only short term, everyone needed to stop treating her like she was chronically ill.The only person that didn’t treat her like a baby was the man she was sitting in front of that was glaring daggers at her.Honestly, if he hadn’t taken her to the hospital or slept with her in the same bed she would have been sure that they had never touched in their lives. She wanted her brain to believe he was just a shitty asshole that couldn’t change but the way everyone looked to her pleadingly whenever Ian went on a tirade assured her that they were in fact married and Ian in fact could be controlled.“Why are you acting two faced? When you brought me from the hospital, you treated me like I was an egg. You even told me you loved me, what went wrong in hours?”, she asked, her brows furrowed and her arms crossed.

    Yu Zhen had been sitting on wires ever since Ashley had pulled Ian into that room. He was convinced Ashley would come out crying because Ian was a crazy man on a mission. A small part of him held out some hope that Ian would act normal to his wife but he quickly dismissed that. Ian was a man filled with determination, focus and sheer will. Ashley couldn’t have come at a worse time. It took everything in his body to not move to that door to eavesdrop on the two of them, but he owed the decency to Ashley at least. He had never listened in on any conversation about her, and he wasn’t about to start now.“Calm down Yu Zhen, she’ll be able to calm him down”, Kevin grinned, like a fool that he wanted to pummel. This was all his fault. If he had kept his mouth shut instead of calling Ashley, Yu Zhen wouldn’t be praying on behalf of Ashley’s mental health.He knew letting Kevin know about Ashley would be a mistake. He should have just kept her anonymous with everyone like the plan was suppos

The scent of aged leather and the hushed rustle of pages greeted anyone who entered, creating an atmosphere of serenity and wisdom.One lazy afternoon, as sunlight filtered through the tall windows, Ashley descended the spiral staircase, her steps muffled by the plush carpeting. A gentle hum of lullabies reached her ears, drawing her towards the library.Upon entering, she was met with a scene that painted a portrait of domestic bliss. Ian, surrounded by towering bookshelves, sat in a hammock that gently swayed between two ornate columns. Cradled against his chest were the twins, their tiny forms cocooned in a shared blanket.Ian, engrossed in a storybook, read aloud in a soft, rhythmic cadence that matched the gentle rocking of the hammock. The twins, their eyes wide with innocent curiosity, listened intently, occasionally reaching out to touch the pages as if try

    On an ordinary day that decided it was anything but, Ashley felt the first inklings of labor. Panicking, she called out to Ian, who was busy juggling paperwork in another room."Ian! It's go time!"Ian, startled, sent papers flying in all directions. "What? Now?! They're supposed to come next week!"Ashley, with a mix of urgency and humor, nodded. "Yes, now! The babies are on their way, and they clearly have no regard for our schedule!"Ian, caught in the whirlwind, fumbled to gather the hospital bags. Yu Zhen, who miraculously appeared as if summoned by impending chaos, rushed in."What's happening?""Babies decided to make an early debut," Ashley said with a grin.Yu Zhen, trying to suppress joyous laughter, patted Ian on the back. "Congratulations, Papa Ian. Let's get you all to the hospital."Ian, now in a state of controlled chaos, ushered Ashley to the car with a mix of urgency and care. "Watch your step, Ashley! We've got precious cargo onboard, and it's not just me driving.""

    A week later,In the opulent embrace of his living room, Ian reclined on a plush sofa, his head finding a comfortable haven in Ashley's lap. The soft glow of ambient lighting cast a warm ambiance, and the room itself seemed to exhale luxury. Ashley's gentle fingers traced soothing patterns through Ian's hair, creating an intimate cocoon within the grandeur of their surroundings.Seated nearby, Yu Zhen held a tablet in his hands. His eyes, framed by an air of quiet determination and pure gloating, scanned the digital pages of a news article. The hushed murmurs of his voice began to narrate the unfolding drama—the arrest of Reid Hills, the shameless father that tried to be Ian's new rival, a pretend tycoon whose empire had crumbled under the weight of illegal activities.As Yu Zhen delved into the details, the living room became a theater of intrigue.

    Ian sat at the head of the large round table, cross legged as he looked at the figures on the projector.The employees were the calmest they had ever been, no matter how harsh Ian was outside the room, he was kinder with nice figures.The first time Ian had commandeered a meeting was a time to remember.In a spacious boardroom adorned with polished mahogany furniture and muted hues, a group of employees gathered, their collective unease tangible in the air. At the heart of their apprehension was Ian, a figure revered and feared for his unforgiving scrutiny during meetings.As the employees settled into their seats, the low hum of anxious whispers reverberated around the room. The subdued lighting seemed to intensify the gravity of the impending assessment. Each individual nervously shuffled papers, stole glances at one another, and exchanged fleeting expressions of concern.Ian, a seasoned executive with a penchant for precision, entered the room with an air of authority that seemed t

    Ashley reclined on the bed, her legs gently throbbing. She was covered only by a white blanket, Ian had most likely covered her up so she wouldn’t get cold after. Ian had stood up before her and she had no idea where he was, so she decided to check out the bunker. The room, much like Ian’s general tastes, was monochrome and it spoke volumes through its grayscale symphony. Every detail seemed meticulously curated to embody a sense of sleek simplicity.The bedframe boasted clean lines and stark contrasts. Its black frame stood out against crisp white sheets, inviting a sense of tranquility. As Ashley traced her fingers along the smooth surface, she marveled at the precision that went into crafting this seemingly unassuming piece of furniture.The walls were an expanse of unyielding concrete. Splashes of black and white danced in harmony, offering a visual feast that resonated with Ian's avant-garde taste.It felt to her like Ian had dedicated all his energy in making sure the room was a

    As Ian stepped into the lit up gallery, he realized that his irritation was unfounded and unnecessary. It wasn’t his gallery anymore at this point, he should rename it to the hall of worshiping his wife.He kept Ashley’s eyes closed and backtracked to the stairs. He had thought the photos on his phone were too much. This was something that archaeologists would discover in five hundred years and declare Ashley as a former queen. She would never let him live this down.He turned around, remembering that the library was still dark and he went to the other part filled with paintings of violence and bloodshed. Great!He looked as though he could only paint three types of things. One, his grandfather’s kind of paintings, two, violence and bloodshed – things he wanted to do to some people that irritated him severely – and three, Ashley.The fact that Ashley was the most popular in terms of amount and quality was something he needed to think about later.“I’m tired of closing my eyes”, Ashley
