Please read with caution** "Our marriage is nothing but a deal," he said looking at the girl, her green eyes met his cold silver eye, and both of them glared at each other. "For any rules you break, I will claim any part of your body," his gaze grew dangerously darker at his word. ************* Ashley Harlow was at the top of the world, living the perfect and luxurious lifestyle as the legitimate daughter of the well-known Daniel Harlow. But sadly, a one-night stand put an end to that and brought her life upside down and that of her family's name to the ground.

Chapter Two

The early morning sun from outside hits my face through the open window, I groan and shift into the soft mattress. My whole body hurts as if someone has battered it to pieces while my head spins. It takes me a few minutes to blink open my eyes and stare straight at the ceiling in complete confusion. Where am I? That was the first question that echoes in my head. And just then events of last night started flashing through my mind as I struggled to get up and that's when I realized that I was completely naked. Whitish sticky in between my legs with undeniable soreness. Panic instant coursed through my body my whole life starting to revolve in my life. Tears stream down my face as the harsh reality sinks in. I close my eyes, hoping against hope that this is just a terrible dream. But when I open my eyes again , the white walls of the room remind me that it’s all too real. I can't bear to look at the man lying next to me, afraid that it will only reopen the wounds. But as he stirs a

Chapter Three

As I pushed the door open, a chilling silence enveloped the room. The atmosphere felt eerie and ominous, causing a shiver to run down my spine. The atmosphere in Daniel Harlow's house has never been this tense. I could feel the tension hanging in the air like a heavy cloud, even more intense than when he had brought his side chick, who happened to be Olivia's mother, into the picture. As I walked further into the lounge, the thick tension in the air became even more palpable. My eyes locked onto a towering figure seated on the couch with a deep frown across his face. “Fa…. ther,” I sputtered, my voice trembling but as soon as my eyes met his sharp gaze, my words immediately caught in my throat, leaving me feeling completely thrown off. The amount of anger in his eyes was enough to silence me. “How could you after everything I have done for you? How could you, Ashley?!” He yelled out in rage. He has never addressed me by my full name before, this is actually the first time that I

Chapter Four

I could feel my father’s rage radiating from his face as our eyes locked, instantly, I tore my gaze away, feeling a wave of nervousness wash over me. Chewing nervously on my bottom lips, I couldn't help but acknowledge that I was in a complete mess right now. “Yeah, we did have a great day,” the man said to my father, earning a nod from him. His gaze was still fixed on me, and the man’s cold eyes darted from my father back to me before adding. “ Whatever that is in that contract stays like that.” And with that one word, he walked away with the other men. I can see the hurt in my father's eyes but before I could react, his next word threw me off the edge. “Go pack up your things, you will be getting married tomorrow to Damien Albrecht.” I shuddered again at his words, Damien Albrecht…..! There was a dead silence in the air, a silence that traveled all the way to my wounded heart. The calmness did nothing to the blood drumming heavily in my ear at the unexpected news. I couldn

Chapter Five

It was already morning and the cold winter breeze in Los Angeles serves as a gentle reminder that Christmas is fast approaching. The holiday spirit fills the air as people prepare for the joyous festivities ahead. The squirting sounds of the squirrels hopping from one cinnamon tree to another fill the air, but their discordant melody is nothing compared to the pain that weighs heavily on my heart. The dissonance of nature mirrors the turmoil within.I stood in the middle of my room, gazing at my reflection, adorned in a breathtaking ensemble for my wedding with Damien. I couldn't deny that I looked stunning, but deep down, this wasn't the marriage I had envisioned. It pained me to think that my special day would be overshadowed by sorrow and heartache.Margaret has worked her magic, skillfully concealing the dark circles under my eyes with layers of foundation and makeup, transforming my face into a stunning sight. One would think I should be overjoyed, right? But despite the outward

Chapter Six

I looked at my father, my gaze pleading for him to take back his word and stop this marriage from happening. He wasn't even looking at us, and I knew one thing... I just need to face the reality, he has made up his mind. Inhaling sharply, I stared back at the man in front of me with so much anger and pain. "I... do," the word trembled out of my lips. It takes immense strength to make such a decision in the face of adversity. "Do you, Damien Albrecht, accept Ashley……." "We are done," Damien barked out, shutting the priest who quivered in fear, having him swallow the rest of his words. He gave me a long disgusted look, not bothered to hide his remark. I shrank back a bit under his fierce look, "I think that we're done here, I have to go home with my wife," he snorted, but despite the calmness of his voice, I was able to detect the danger in them. "I, therefore, declare you two husband and wife," the priest proclaimed, sealing our union. The priest had barely a few words to say bu

"I need…… to get my bag," "Sorry, miss, everything you needed is already packed in the car," I instantly snapped my head at the man behind me, shock flashing through my face. Everything I need is already packed….. How? His face was cold but my confused stare had him speak up again, "A servant from your household brought out your bag and is inside the car so Miss if you don't mind we need to go," I took a deep breath as he stepped forward and pulled open the back door for me. My heart raced as I gulped hard and quickly slid inside the car. With a resounding "bam!" he closed the car door and made his way to the other side. He opened the passenger door and smoothly entered the car. The anticipation was palpable as I prepared to embark on this mysterious journey with them.****After five agonizing hours on the road, my butt is seriously hurting, and my stomach is growling like crazy. Finally, we pull up to a building that looks like a hotel...or at least I hope it is. I can't help but

Crossing paths with him is like inviting pain and suffering into your life. He possesses no conscience for those with conscience will not do what he does.......

Chapter Nine

"Hmm... You can see that I came alone," he forced out a smile that barely made it over his face as I shot him a deadly glare, "Straight to business," my voice was cold and dreadful to hear.He cleared his throat several times, struggling to compose himself, "I have finally accepted your business deal.""Huh," my eyebrow cocked up, I smirked and took a sip from my drink.There's this tension, this dark aura, and I notice how restless he suddenly seemed. This was the exact man who was neck-bent on not cooperating with us years back... A loyal client of my adversary. But just like the saying goes, "Damien Albrecht always gets whatever he wants no matter the situation." Now, this very wealthy man looks like a chaff in front of me."Me and my team will invest in the business," a smile spread across my lips at his words, but I ignored him and pretended that I didn't hear him.I lifted my hands by the side, giving a small clap and Eros walked up toward us with a file in his hands. He gav

Chapter Ten

"I see you couldn't wait to be here," the smoothness of my voice was striking, I said immediately I felt her walk inside.She smirked, closing the door as she slowly walked up to me with her perfectly slender legs and short revealing blue gown that wrapped tightly around her body. "Can't wait……." She said through her seductive silver eyes, making my smirk turn more rapacious at her lustful approach. She stopped in front of me and tried to place her hand on my exposed abs but I held her hand back stopping it from touching me. Our gazes were still locked when suddenly anger slipped into my heart making my eyes turn cold. She almost flinched but I held her hand curbing her from taking a step back.I let out a hazardous smirk and stared back at her, women don't deserve anything good. They are all snakes and villains. Either they want something from you………. Money, fame or to have a taste of you but in public they always act so innocent and fragile just like Zuri. "Whore…….. They are all
