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

    Ashley huffed in annoyance as Ian had gotten worse in the elevator, practically melting her against him. She wasn't complaining but the entire staff had seen her under his grappling hands and her face was on fire.She brightened up as she eyed the car parked a few yards away. "Let's get you to the car", she said, patting his arm to notify him to remove himself.Ian smiled a small somber smile as he let her go slightly, his arms still wrapping around her like an overenthusiastic octopus. "Want me to drive you again?"She shook her head, attempting to take a step but finding her movement hindered by Ian's clingy antics. "You're too sleepy, you need to rest.""I'd better rest with you, " Ian quipped, squeezing her a bit tighter.Ashley rolled her eyes. "I hope the car appreciates the effort we're putting into this grand entrance."Ian hid his grin on her shoulder before lunging her into his arms and to the car. He had notified the driver the moment he got the chance, even if she requeste

    Ashley furrowed her brows, her mind was already going seven hundred miles a minute. Ian couldn’t do that, Ian wasn’t like everybody else. She was chanting it over and over. He was a man of honor and he would never cheat.She couldn’t even remember two percent of their entire married life but she just knew Ian wouldn’t be like anyone she had dated…at least she hoped.“Is that all?”, Ian asked glumly, his entire countenance deadpan.“Perhaps I’ll call again when she’s tortured beyond measure”, the disembodied voice said and Ian dropped the call to immediately touch the side of Ashley’s face. “I know you’re worried-”“I’m not wor-”, Ashley tried to interrupt but Ian continued talking anyway.“But you don’t have to be, my heart didn’t even work before you. You’re its sole commander”, he said seriously, trying to drill in the fact that he was practically useless without her into her head.Ashley’s face gradually reddened till she had to look away.Ian rested on the car door to admire his

    Ian had slept like a baby all through the ride, she didn’t even know someone could sleep that deep while their legs were cramped in a car. The problem before her was that they had gotten to the house that she had been put in the mean time – according to Chloe their main house had a huge underground library, she couldn’t wait to see that one – and Ian was still asleep. The bags under his eyes had grown prominent in his relaxed state and she was begging to every power in the universe to give her teleportation powers.She felt as though if he woke up, he wouldn’t sleep anymore.She had no choice, the position he was in was bound to be uncomfortable for him, taking him inside would be the best thing to do.“Ian”, she whispered softly. There was no answer, he was as unresponsive and dead as a log of wood.She sighed, how would she wake him now? The thing that made her most surprised about their entire marriage – other than the fact that they actually seemed happy together – was the fact t

    Ian grit his teeth and vowed to destroy whoever was on the line. They had ruined a perfect moment, people were so fond of that. It was such an annoying phenomenon that he hadn't kissed his own wife ever, he was about to rectify it too, until the bastard called.He closed his eyes and held the phone to yell at the caller, peeking at Ashley to see her face tinged red and he immediately threw it out of the car. He had far more important things to do.He wanted to move slowly, to give her the chance of stopping him if she wanted to, but he had been feeling urges since he met her, slow was out the window at this point.He leaned in and captured her mouth with his. He was immediately blissed out, this, this is what he had been missing. The feeling of Ashley's soft lips against his own was a feeling he could relish in for the rest of his life.Ian's heart quickened its pace as he pulled away. He wanted more than just a simple touch of the lips but if this was all he was getting then he would

    Several moments later, Ashley was spent, using all her remaining willpower to lay on his chest. She had thought she had the advantage, having been in relationships before and apparently knowing more than Ian when it came to kissing but it was all a lie. Ian had turned her brain to spaghetti and she knew that only three brain cells were still functioning at this point.However, those three brain cells gave her some flashes, longer than before. The flashes consisted of Ian turning her brain to mush – maybe that’s why she didn’t remember anything from that night – over and over again before she fell asleep.She lifted her head to glare at him for being good at kissing. Did he have to be perfect at everything? He was already looking at her and shivers went up her spine with how he looked at that moment. His eyes were lidded, his curved lips were red and shining – courtesy of her – and his hair looked like he had been mauled by a bear – she identified as the bear. He looked like a master

    Music rec: Out of my league – fits and the tantrums“I look like I’ve been attacked by a monster Ian! No you can’t kiss your wife anymore!”, Ashley yelled, trying to sort out her appearance with one hand seeing as the other was firmly detained in Ian’s hands.Ian on the other hand was mesmerized. He had missed Ashley so fiercely. It seemed like he hadn’t talked to his wife properly in months, he had missed the fiesty woman that yelled her displeasures very loudly. It had been so long since he touched her for no reason other than the fact he wanted to and she automatically let him. He didn’t mind if she didn’t remember their moments together fully, Ashley was always Ashley.However, she couldn’t lose any more memories. He would make sure he cemented the ones she stil had and reinforced it.“-Are you even listening to me?”, Ashley suddenly said, looking at him like she was offended. Ian found it very cute. He believed he had unlocked a brand new privilege so he dropped a small kiss on h

    Ashley had to bite the inside of her cheeks to stop herself from being taken in by Ian yet again. He was kissing her like she was the breath he needed yet again. “AHeM!”, someone coughed pointedly behind them and Ashley all but shoved Ian off. She shakily looked up to see Yu Zhen trying to look like he hadn’t just seen Ian full on making out with her.Ian looked betrayed and annoyed as fuck but she couldn’t really cater to him when Yu Zhen had literally just seen them kissing.“What the fuck do you want?”, Ian glared at Yu Zhen and Yu Zhen gulped. If Ian had lasers for eyes he would have been toast at this point. On the outside he was trying to placate Ian before he got killed with a punch to the skull or something. On the inside he was feeling a severe kind of bittersweet. It grabbed his heart to the point of not letting go and he was breathing just a tad heavier.He was glad they were now even closer but… at what cost? Ashley was terminally diseased because of the uncurable exposur

    Mark felt stupid and small as he sat on Ian’s couch with four people sitting opposite him and judging him. He wouldn’t have resorted to ever coming to Ian but his pride was nothing when all his hard work was stolen. He knew he should have never listened to his mother. The woman always wanted what was best for herself, she never really cared about his devices unless they could actively help her. She wasn’t like Hillary.He was always so jealous of Ian and Rita, they had it all. They were the legitimate grandchildren of Alexander and their mother was Hillary. He was stuck with Morgana, who would sooner sell him to the devil than stand against his father, and he hated it. Rita sat on the edge of the couch, looking down at him with poorly hidden disgust in her eyes. She eyed him like he wasn’t human, merely a pig that shouldn’t have had the audacity to sit on her brother’s pristine couch. She looked at him like they didn’t share a single drop of blood. Ian’s wife, still in a fucking mas

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
