"I don't like when other man touches what is mine." He whispered in deep voice, his blue eyes sparkled with jealousy and possession. "I am not your possession, Ashton. Remember, we're married only on the papers." I somehow said as his intimidating personality loomed over me. I could hear our heartbeats. "I don't give a fuck to those papers, Valeria. You're my wife and the whole world must know this." Saying this, he buried his face in the crook of my neck and kissed there. Butterflies erupted in my stomach. He was off reach and forbidden. He was my ex-fiance's uncle. But he was my husband. Everything changed for Valeria Miller when her boyfriend left her waiting on the aisle and his uncle stepped up to save her from the shame. Their marriage was fixed on the last minute, it shouldn't be permanent. But Ashton had other thoughts in his mind. He wanted Valeria forever.

Chapter 1

Chapter- [ 1 ]

[ Valeria ]

I gave myself a once over in the giant mirror and exhaled deeply. I had to force out all the nervousness which was building in my system. It was messing up with my brain and my emotions.

It didn't help either.

I was getting impatient and terrified as the clock ticked forward.

My wedding supposed to take place at eleven but now it's past twelve.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was a bride, dressed in a beautiful white gown which I and Liam picked together a week ago. Everything seemed like a fairy tale.

Finally, I was getting married to my boyfriend whom I dated for two years. He was everything a girl wishes in her life partner. A charmingly handsome man who swiped me off my feet on our first meeting in a cousin's wedding.

I was only twenty two, my friends advised me to wait for another few years but I just wanted to be with Liam and devote myself to him.

A knock on the door put a break on my turbulent emotions. I craned my neck slightly. My father was standing at the door with a grim expression on his face.

My heart sank but I couldn't give up.

"He hasn't arrived yet, Val. The guests started whispering." He said in a calm yet angered voice.

I slowly walked up to him and held his shoulders. My family was against this marriage since the beginning but I convinced them that Liam is a nice person who loves me.

"Dad, he must be stuck in the traffic. You know our city and it's transport system." I tried to make a suitable reason for my groom, who hadn’t arrived yet.

"His family is here, Val. They are avoiding to answer. Do you still think that he wants to marry you?" My Dad gave me the look I dreaded.

"What are you saying, Dad? He proposed me in front of everyone. You were there. Of course, he wants to marry me." I defended Liam.

"We'll wait for another 30 minutes and then I'll call the wedding off, Val. People are talking about us. I don't want to be a subject of mockery. Your stubbornness already strained our relationship with Rodriguez family. They have been against this relationship that you and their son wants to tie." Dad shook his head.

My heartbeats accelerated.

"You can't do that!" I shouted.

"Your father is right, Valeria. We have to call off this wedding because your groom-" My mother's voice interrupted our conversation.

My gaze shifted on her. Her beautiful eyes were glossy.

"Mom, don't start like Dad. I talked to Liam in the morning. He's as excited as I am for this wedding. We love each other." I ranted. My heart wasn't ready to accept the present scenario.

"He called his parents. They informed us that Liam flew from the country with his secretary whom he got pregnant. I am sorry, my child but you have to accept the truth. That bastard betrayed you in the worst way possible." Mom broke into tears.

I staggered back. Her words resonated in my ears.

"No..no..you must have..misheard them. My Liam can never betray me." I shouted.

All the moments I and Liam spent together begun to play like a film in my mind.

"I warned you since the beginning, Val. He is a womanizer but your silly heart clouded your judgment. He ruined your life, Val. He left a taint on our reputation." Dad said in frustration but I ignored him and dialled Liam's number.

His phone was switched off. I dialled again but same response.

Multiple footsteps approached the room. Mom was sniffing silently whereas I was unable to react.

I was numb. My brain failed to process anything and an agonizing pain surged through my chest.

"James, we need to talk." Mr. Jason Rodriguez, Liam's father said to my Dad.

He sounded pissed off.

"What do you want to talk about now, Jason?" Dad yelled on him.

"Keep your voice down, Mr. Miller, we're not your servants." Vivienne, Liam's mother reprimanded my father.

Unlike everyone, she looked calm and unaffected. She never liked me neither her daughters. They thought my family was a gold digger as my father's business faced a rough time recently and the reason I dated Liam so we could use them as ladder to overcome our financial crisis.

"Liam dumped my daughter on the wedding day and you want us to act loke nothing has happened. Do you even hear yourself?" Dad threw his hands in the air.

"The damage is done, James. We can't do anything. My son must be flying by now. We have to make the announcement before our guests make a scene of our reputation. I am ready take the blame of my son's fault." Jason said, he sounded ashamed.

"Nonsense, we can't do that. It will reflect on our image, Jason and we have more respect in the society than these Millers. This girl has to take all the blame on her." Doris pointed her finger on me.

The woman had gone insane. Her son broke my heart, made a fool of me and she wanted me to apologize to our hypocrite society for Liam's fault.

Couldn't she see my pain?

"My daughter won't do such thing. We'll expose your son in front of everyone." Dad argued.

"No, James, it will destroy us. We can talk and find a middle way." Jason tried to convince my father.

"Is there any middle way, Mr. Rodriguez?" I chuckled humorlessly and wiped my tears despite the excruciating pain in my heart.

"Valeria, I'm really ashamed of my son. You don't deserve any of this." Jason sounded regretting but it didn't lessen my pain.

"I need some time alone. Please don't come after me and do whatever you want to cover up for Liam." I said and stormed out of the room.

The decorations and lighting, everything seemed to mock at me. I ran from there, I felt suffocated. My fate played a cruel joke on me. Tears blurred my vision. I didn't care if I resembled a zombie or the passing by people gave me a weird look.

I ran out in the open cemetery behind the chapel. The quietness in the air gave me the much needed environment to unleash my wounded emotions.

I fell down on the grass and cried.

"Why did you do this to me, Liam? I love you with every fibre in my body. I worshipped you. I was ready to fight the world for you. What am I going to say to everyone who is here to witness our union? You made a fool of me and our families." I shouted because there was no one to hear my agony.

"We can still save our reputation, Valeria."

A deep but smooth manly voice floated in the air. I stopped crying and turned to face the person who just disturbed me.

There he was, the famous businessman man, Ashton Rodriguez standing at a distance with an emotioless face but his beautiful grey eyes were soft.

"Excuse me?" I frowned at him.

He stepped forward with slow steps.

"We can save our families from being ridiculed, Valeria. I may hate my cousin and his useless son but I love our family's reputation. Rodriguez are the ruler of this city. You can't deny the fact." He said with pride dripping from his tone.

He was Liam's uncle, the most desirable bachelor in the country. I met him only once but he couldn't be forgotten easily.

"If you're here to brag about your family's wealth and power then don't be my guest. Liam have already given me enough scars to regret till my last breath." I said coldly and wiped my tears.

"Think about your family, Valeria. Your father's business will suffer more than he has already on his plate. Your impulsive decision already caused him great stress, don't kill the old man." He said as a matter of fact.

I looked down in shame. My whole family was suffering and I was the one to be blamed.

"Marry me, Valeria. We can save the family from the shame and help each other." He said with confidence but I felt like the earth slipped under my feet.

"What?" I exclaimed.

He looked confident.

"Marry me, Valeria and save your father from going bankrupt. I will invest in your father's company and you can help me to escape my family's constant pressure for marriage. You see, I turned thirty four recently. People think I'm impotent and it displeased my family. I want to break the notion." He said each word very calmly.

"This is insane, Ashton. Marriage isn't a joke. I can't accept your proposal. I don't even know you except your name and you're Liam's uncle. I am much younger than you." I voiced out my disagreement.

He winced on my last sentence.

"You're not a child either, Valeria. You were ready to marry a thirty years old guy but you have problem with me. Besides, we don't need to know each other. This is a marriage of convenience. If I don't help your father, you know very well that you all will be on streets sooner. Think wisely, you can still correct your mistakes. If you're ready then meet me in next ten minutes at the back entrance." Saying this, he turned and walked out of the cemetery.

[ Valeria ]My heart was hammering against my ribcage as the priest proceeded with the ceremony. The handsome stranger, stood in front of me was very calm unlike me.I felt a knot down my stomach thinking about the uncertainties which may come with this marriage. I stole a glance of my family. My parents had a mixed expressions of relief, happiness and gratitude while his family looked unaffected.My mind was having an inner battle of merits and demerits of marrying a total stranger. I agreed to sacrifice myself for the sake of my family and to repent for my sin of loving Liam Rodriguez who never cared for me.My heart sumnersaulted against my ribcage when I directly looked at my groom. Undoubtedly, he was the most handsome ever walked on the earth. His striking blue eyes bored into mine like he could see my soul.I felt nervous again.I had made up my mind that I'd refrain myself from entangling in any relationship again. I can't fall for this man because my frail heart won't survive

[ Valeria ]"I want us to consummate our marriage, Ashton."I don't know what made me say those words to him but I knew, I couldn't take them back.His cold eyes flashed shock but he didn't let it show on his face."It's quite late, Valeria. You must rest. Tomorrow, we'll discuss the conditions that we're going to follow in our arrangement." He said in a deep voice.I felt humiliated. What was I thinking when I asked a stranger to fuck me because my ex-fiance cheated on me and I had to prove a pointless point.I pursed my lips and turned to leave. How was I going to even face him?"Wait!"His intimidating voice echoed in the deadly silence room and I halted in my tracks. My heartbeats picked up their rates as I felt him near me."What made you say this?" He asked me."Forget it, I don't want to discuss anything. You're right, we should focus on our business." I snapped coldly and tried to walk but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.As a result, my back collided with his hard ches

[ Valeria ]The kiss was hungry and raw as his lips glided over mine. He was controlling me and I felt like I was pulled to a magnet, not able to move or reciprocate his moves.Our clothes were discarded on the floor but he carefully placed my wedding gown on the couch. The dress seemed to mock on me."Don't think about the past, a beautiful future is waiting for you." He turned my face to look at him."I'm going to worship you in every way possible, mi esposa." He called me wife in Spanish. I learnt the basics while dating Liam.I wasn't supposed to feel this way but his words worked like lightening as he kissed me again. His fingers knotted in my hairs as he laid me down on the soft mattress of his bed.I pulled my arms around his neck, both of us eager to deepen the kiss. I didn't know about him but my anger and resentment was surfacing with the increasing passion.If Liam could cheat on me, I'd do the same.Everything around me fogged as his other hand cupped my most intimate area

[ Ashton ]"Hands on the wall, carino." I whispered in her ear as my hands roamed on the soft skin of her flat stomach.Her body stiffened."Wha..what are you doing here?" She stammered in shock and tried to cover her breasts but I stopped her from doing so and swiftly turned her around."What I said to you last night? Once you allow me to claim you, I will mark you mine every time I feel the urge and you can't stop me from having my wife, Valeria. Trust me, I'm going to make you feel good in every way." I licked her earlobe and massaged her bosoms.Our naked bodies drenching under the cold water. My desire for her increased on a crazing level when I saw her bruised body glowing. It took every single ounce of self control for me to not fuck her again but I lost to it.I gave up for the first time in my life but I don't regret it at all.I roamed my hands in between her thighs and rubbed her clit, she was dripping as I felt her stickiness on my fingers."Oh God!" She cried as I plunged

[ Valeria ]"Mr. Miller, I hope you have no issues with these clauses. I have the best attorney who made this contract very strict, whoever breaches it, they would be destroyed." Ashton said to my father who read the stack of papers in front of him, looking confused and in deep dilemma.I stole glance of Ashton, he had a straight expression on his face which made it difficult for me read what was going inside his head."So, you're asking me to sell my daughter's pride in order to save my drowning business?" My father looked displeased.I wanted to interject but he was right.Ashton sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "You weren't hesitant to let her marry Liam and my brother was ready to help you in return, wouldn't it be the same thing?" Ashton reasoned.He was right as well. My father's face turned red."Still, I do not think I'll be able to live peacefully if I accept your generous offer, Mr. Rodriguez." Said Dad.I placed my hand on his shoulder, "Dad, I decided to marry hi

[ Ashton ]The beauty in front of me is making me her slave with every passing moment. The way she bites her lips, I feel a strong urge to kiss the life out of her.Her perfectly molded figure and the way her his sways when she walks, she drives me insane. My mind has been embedded with her image and her thoughts. And after claiming her, my desire for her intensified.I lost the last ounce of self control when she walked into my office and how her eyes admired everything. I forgot about the business we had to discuss.I'd first have a taste of her. She became a drug to my soul and desire. I bloomed into a woman by taking her virginity, a gift she preserved for a prick like Liam.I'd worship her till my last breath.I circled my finger in her wet clit. She was wet. I felt proud of my effect on her. I pumped my finger in a faster pace inside her tight folds.My hands rubbed her perked nipples above her top. They wanted my attention but I wanted a release before I explode in my pants."A

[ Valeria ]My mind couldn't process what my ears heard.Did he just say he had a son?"Wha..what do you mean?" I asked blinking my eyes. I must misheard him.He sat straight on his chair like a majestic king and folded his hands. His straight face didn't give any idea that he joked."You heard me right, Valeria. I have a son from my ex-girlfriend. I had no intentions to get her pregnant. We were very clear in our relationship. She wanted money and a lavish lifestyle while I wanted her body to satisfy my needs. She proposed to abort the baby but I forbade her. It was my baby, my heir." He paused.I processed this new information. My head begun to spin."Why didn't you tell me about your child before, Ashton? You know this is also a betrayal. You also played with my feelings and made joke of my misery." I lost my patience.The tears of betrayal stung in my eyes."Would you marry me if I told you that I have an illegitimate child and you just have to fill the place of his mother on the

[ Ashton ]It pained to see how desperately Valeria wanted to run from me. She only agreed to marry me that I proposed to help her father and she wanted to prove a point to Liam and his family.She looked at me like I was a decease. Marrying a man with a child was a taboo for her. She couldn't fathom the fact that I was a father and she was way younger than me."Answer me, Valeria." I said each word quitely not showing her the hurt her words caused me.She distanced herself from me."You know the answer, Ashton. You and I are two opposite personalities. I want to live my life like it was with Liam. I was my own person. I hate him for ruining my happiness but I enjoyed my liberty and he promised me that nothing would change for us even after the marriage." She said with longing in those sad eyes."How can you assume that I will keep you in a cage and force you to be my perfect wife?" I questioned her.She looked away.I pinched the bridge of my nose.

[ Valeria ]My eyes blurred with fresh tears, the sharp ache in my heart was unbearable as I stared at the audacity of my love. His secretary posted their picture on a private beach. It was very intimate.He had his hand resting on her flat tummy on a beach. They looked happy in each other's arms. This heartless man kept toying with my feelings when he was with her."Why are you crying, Miss?" A quiet voice caused me to flinch and immediately wiped my tears. I closed the social media account and looked at the source of the voice.There was a small boy standing at a distance from me. He was cute with big blue eyes and raven black hairs. I didn't had to guess who he was.Ashton's child. He had striking resemblance with Ashton except his black hairs."I am sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." I forced a smile.He nodded his head and turned to leave. He seemed very reserve and quiet boy unlike other kids."May I know your name?" I asked him. We were going to live in the same house. The l
