Chapter 4: Asher's Sudden Appearance
Last Updated:
2022-04-28 19:54:16Asher heard the butler speak with an impatient expression. Not waiting for the butler to finish speaking, Asher hurriedly walked up to the second floor.
“Selena, is that you?”
“Holy shit!” Calantha thought.
The wedding dress was too bulky. Calantha couldn’t run fast, Asher was behind her, as long as he ran, he could catch up with her.
But no...
Asher followed her and maintained a certain distance.
“Selena, you’re trying on the wedding dress.”
“I thought I was the only one who was excited to look forward to the wedding. You’re making me happy, Selena.”
“Damn, damn... I need to find a room to hide in.” Calantha thought. “Damn, every room is locked. The training room is too far away.”
Calantha didn’t dare turn around to check the distance between her and Asher, as she was worried that Asher would find out something out of the ordinary.
If Asher found out about Selena’s escape plans, everything would get worse.
Calantha recalled the afternoon two days before when she and Selena discussed the plan.
“Calantha, you have to be really careful. Asher is a madman and ruthless. If he finds out about my escape plans, neither you nor I will be safe.” Selena reminded.
And now?
Asher would discover this secret if he wanted to. He just ran and would catch up with Calantha.
Calantha did not give up, she persisted in running to the practice room, which was the closest room to her, and her phone was there. She would call Layla.
It pleased Asher to know Selena tried her wedding dress, which proved she was looking forward to the wedding too, right?
Selena loved him, right?
But Asher didn’t catch up with Calantha, because he wanted to see Selena in his wedding dress for the first time as he stood in the aisle.
Asher also found that Selena (Calantha) was like Cinderella when the midnight alarm rang. She hurriedly ran away so the prince wouldn’t find out.
Calantha finally walked into the training room, locked the door, and called Layla.
Asher stood in front of the door, which was locked by Calantha. He said:
“Selena, I want to talk to you. I just finished my trip to Los Angeles and I miss you.”
Calantha panicked. She wanted to answer, to reassure Asher, but she didn’t dare. Calantha’s voice differed from Selena’s.
15 minutes later.
Asher seemed impatient, he urged.
“Selena, I want to see you.”
Nobody answered.
Asher pondered why Selena wouldn’t answer him.
“Are you in trouble with your wedding dress? Open the door, I’ll help you.”
Calantha was scared. She still couldn’t reach Layla. The only thing she could do was pray.
Suddenly Asher stopped speaking.
“Why doesn’t he ask anymore? Did he give up?” Calantha panicked and relentlessly wondered what Asher would do next.
Calantha heard the click and saw the door handle spinning.
Asher unlocked. So he’s got a key?
An alarm sounded in Calantha’s mind. She understood that if Asher opened this door, Gael would lose his chance to be cured.
“Asher…” a feminine voice rang out.
Calantha knew who owned this voice. That was Lady Selena. She came back.
Selena’s arrival in the hallway surprised Asher.
“Selena, you just got out?” Asher asked.
“Yes, what are you doing?” Selena asked.
“Unlock the door. Someone is wearing your wedding dress. Is that your servant?”
“No, she’s a model. She didn’t wear my wedding dress. It was a copy of the wedding dress. I wanted to edit some details on the dress so I hired her to wear it.” Selena explained.
“Oh...” Asher let go of the door handle.
“Let’s go to the reading room. Just you and me.” Selena suggested.
Asher agreed.
In the practice room, Calantha could hear the conversation between Asher and Selena. She felt lucky Selena was back in time.
“Knock, knock.”
“Miss Ellis, can I come in?” Layla asked.
“All right.” Calantha opened the door for Layla to enter the room.
“Did they leave?” Calantha asked.
“They went to the reading room. Changed the wedding dress. Damn it, how that guy come so surprisedly.” Layla lamented, “Sit down in the armchair. I’ll put your makeup on so you would look different from Lady Selena. God, we need to redesign the wedding dresses, too.”
Calantha felt she could understand why Selena didn’t like Asher. He always did what he wants, liked to possess. It was hard to live with a man like Asher Pittman without feeling stuffy.
After 30 minutes, Layla finished makeup for Calantha. Calantha was curious about the change in her face, so she looked in the mirror.
And right away, she wished she hadn’t.
Layla’s makeup made her look bad. Small eyes, enormous nose, swollen lips. What a terrible combination that could not be more.
Calantha looked at Layla with sad eyes. Layla felt Calantha was questioning her.
“What, are you unhappy?” Layla was furious.
“It’s okay. At least Asher won’t question me,” Calantha comforted herself.
“Nothing,” Calantha replied.
“All right, you go back to your room, lock the door and don’t go out. Maybe Asher will have dinner with Lady Selena here.” Layla reminded her.
“Layla, the phone number you gave me…” Calantha said. She wanted to know why she couldn’t reach Layla.
“That’s my phone number. I didn’t answer your call because the butler called me earlier and informed me of Asher’s presence. I was in a hurry to drive back to the mansion, you know.” Layla explained.
“I see.” Calantha replied, then she went to her room.
The things that had just happened freaked her out. So far, Calantha had felt her heart beating quick. Calantha stroked her chest to calm herself down.
“There’s nothing more frightening than today.” Calantha thought.
Calantha read books to kill time, then she felt asleep.
“Knock, knock.”
The knocking woke Calantha.
It was already dark. Calantha didn’t turn on the power in the room, she could only observe everything based on the faint light from the moon.
“Miss Ellis, open my door.” Layla urged.
Calantha hurriedly opened the door.
“Is something wrong, Layla.” Calantha asked in a sleepy voice.
“Asher leaved, let’s go down to the kitchen for dinner, then to the living room to see Lady Selena. She wants to tell you something.” Layla announced. “And remember to fix your hair.”
Calantha unconsciously touched her hair to check it and realized her hair was tangled.
“So I have been communicating with other people with my frizzy hair?” Calantha was shy.
Calantha fixed her hair and went down to the kitchen for dinner. But the food is no longer as delicious as it used to be. The problem was not on the cooker. A short sleep upsets Calantha’s biological timetable, and she’s tired.
After dinner, at Layla’s request, she went to the living room, Lady Selena waiting for her.
“Layla said she had something to tell me.” Calantha said.
“That’s right, you have a mission next week, Calantha. You’re going to have to attend the dance party with Asher.”

“What? A dance party? With Asher?” Calantha couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “That’s right, but don’t worry, it’s a Masquerade Ballroom Dancing party. You will use a mask, and you just have to dance with Asher without having to communicate with him.” Selena said. “But I’ve never gone to a dance party. Excuse me, Lady Selena. I can’t join this party.” Calantha refused. “Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.” Selena said. “Why won’t you join?” Calantha asked. She didn’t think Selena would let her meet Asher before the wedding. This is really too risky. “I’m busy.” Selena said. In fact, on the day that the Masquerade Ballroom Dancing Party takes place, Selena and John would date and danced together in a luxurious and discreet restaurant. But she won’t tell Calantha the truth. And, of course, compared to Asher, John was much more important to Selena. “How could Asher Pittman find out who was going to dance with him that night? Only this afternoon, he was mistaken.” Selena thought.

Layla tirelessly entered the car, whispering, “Damn.” Layla’s mission was to monitor and support Calantha to join the party and meet Asher. But a noble woman stopped her from fulfilling her duties. Layla met her at the WC. The fat middle-aged woman was so tormented by her abdominal pain that she confused Layla for her daughter, and held on to her hands, screaming relentlessly even though she had tried everything to calm her down. It was all over when another girl walked into the WC and helped Layla and that miserable woman. When the girl rescued Layla, the party was still underway, but Asher had left to catch his flight to Los Angeles. Layla did not wait for Calantha too long, she came out of the mansion right after. “Is everything okay?” Layla asked as the car had rolled. “It’s fine,” Calantha stopped saying, “Asher doesn’t doubt me.” Layla felt that since she had been in the car, Calantha was very strange, she didn’t seem happy. “Really? He did nothing to upset you?” Layla as

The man did not doubt Calantha’s silence. He thought Calantha was in suspense for her and Asher’s imminent wedding. From his point of view, the relationship between Selena and Asher had always been very good, they both were in love and looking forward to their wedding.But if Selena married the man she loved, she would be happier and more excited than anyone.Layla rushed over shortly after, she politely bowed to him and lowered her voice to inform him of something, he smiled delicately and left.“Layla, who is he?” Calantha asked curiously.“He’s Lady Selena’s father, Mr. Anderson,” Layla answered. “He came here to persuade you to allow him to walk down the aisle with you.”“But, what? Why would he do that? He’s Lady Selena’s father, right?” Calantha asked in surprise.“Yes, but he only sees Lady Selena as a tool at the service of his success. And he has hurt her so many times. For Lady Selena, he was the one who gave her life, not her father. Lord Pittman knows this, and he wants to

The driver was waiting outside, Asher and Calantha entered the car, and the driver immediately took them to Asher’s private mansion, Rosé. As soon as the car rolled, Asher rushed toward Calantha, wanting to kiss her. Calantha panicked, pushing him out instinctively. “What’s the matter, are you afraid? Don’t worry, the driver can’t know what we’re doing right now,” Asher said in a charming low voice, pointing toward the glass that separated the two rows of seats in the car. Calantha said nothing, she turned away from Asher’s gaze. He felt ‘Selena‘ out of the ordinary, but only thought she was shy. Selena has always avoided being intimate with him in a crowded place. At first, Asher wasn’t happy about Selena’s attitude. She had to explain to him she would only be intimate with her husband. Gradually, Asher got used to it. But that did not mean he did not feel insecure. He wondered many times if Selena loved him or not, or if it was all because of their childhood engagement? But fo

Calantha didn’t think she’d be so easily spotted, because things were always going to work out for her. Asher no longer had patience with her. He squeezed her chin, forcing her to look into the eyes of his, “Don’t let me repeat it a second time. Where’s Selena?” The powerful gaze of the one who wields potent power made Calantha felt it would kill her. Fear forced Calantha to say what he wanted to hear. “No, wake up, Calantha, you can’t fall,” Reason tried to stop her from doing her stupid trading betrayal. “I don’t know,” she said. Asher frowned, laughing sarcastically. He asked, “How much money did Selena give you? Tell me, I’ll pay you three times.” It was a great proposition, but it’s also a contemptuous saying. Calantha knew that Asher thought she was a grabber, he wanted to use the money to solve this problem. But if she said so, she would have to accept a greater consequence than she could get. Selena would avenge her. Asher loved Selena very much, so he won’t protect h

Although Calantha’s feelings were eroded by the days Asher locked her in his room, the transaction Asher offered surprised her. Calantha read what was stated in the transaction. The content of this transaction was that she must pretend to be Selena, becoming Lady Pittman until Asher found the real Selena. Asher would pay her with money. She realized that all the terms of this transaction were to Asher’s advantage. Asher had the right to control her everything until this transaction was no longer valid. And Calantha could not have any rights but money, a lot of money. But she could only get that money when Selena came back. It was an unfair transaction for her. “I will not sign this transaction,” Calantha said. “Give me a good reason,” Asher said. He looked at Calantha with an angry look. “This contract is not fair to me. Except for money, I don’t have any rights. Even if you find Selena, I can only get the money you’ll pay me. And you may control everything, even the change of co

Calantha’s POV That evening, I received a copy of the transaction from the butler. I could have asked him to make a copy of the transaction for me as soon as he asked his assistant to compose a new copy of the transaction. But I did not. Because I took a test on him. I wanted to check if Asher was a reliable partner. Asher kept his promise, so I could trust him to complete the transaction without making it a worthless trade. I put the transaction in a safe place and suddenly missed Gael. I had been taking care of him ever since he was born. We have lived together for more than 10 years, a strong connection created by trust and love has made us the only and most important relatives of each other, even if we are half-sisters. I wondered what Gael was doing at that moment. Maybe he was learning, he was working hard. I thought about how to escape from Asher’s mansion, but I immediately rejected all options on my own. Unless I got help from someone else, I could never get out of thi

Third person’s POV Asher walked into Rosé’s living room, the butler was already waiting. He took Asher’s black overcoat. “Welcome home, my young master,” he said. Asher sat down on the sofa, he was tired. The butler brought him a cup of coffee as usual. “Where is she?” Asher asked. “Miss Ellis is sleeping in her bedroom?” The butler answered. Asher looked outside. The sun had risen. Asher stroked his hair like a habit, leaning against the sofa, closing his eyes. He said, “Didn’t I ask her to always get up at dawn?” The butler said, “That’s right, sir. But Miss Ellis did well, and she could fulfill almost every teacher’s request. So they set her up with a more comfortable timetable for a few days before they taught her to dance.” “She’s not as easy to bully as I thought,” Asher said, gritting his teeth. “Since she was a child, she has had to do many works for a living,” the butler explained. Calantha’s effort and rapid adaptation amazed the butler. “I see.” When Calantha wa

The sound of the door opening woke me up. The softness of the bed made me unwilling to sit up.“It’s time to go home,” Asher’s cold voice sounded, and I immediately sat up, saw Asher standing and leaning back against the door. His bright brown hair was a little messy, his vest was gone, two buttons of his shirt were undone. He was looking at me.“What about the ball?” That was what I thought of first when I saw him.“It’s over,” Asher announced.“No way,” I looked at Asher with amazement, soon after, anger invaded me. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”I stood up but immediately shouted because of the pain in my ankle. I fell to my bed, bit my lips and closed my eyes tightly, enduring the pain.“You can’t dance with me anyway when you can’t stand up,” Asher said sarcastically.I frowned, “What about you? What did you do?”Asher shrugged, “Dance with another girl.”I said, “So, your mother, did she see you dancing with another girl?” It was my only worry; I didn’t want to displease Bertha; sh

“Don’t worry, I asked the doctor to come right away,” Bertha said and sat down next to me. Her arrival reassured me. “Thank you,” I said. ”Asher re-aligned my joint.” “What?” Bertha looked at me in surprise and then looked at Asher. “Asher, you should let the doctor do it.” Asher shrugged, “I can do it professionally. Why do I need to wait for a doctor?” I heard Bertha’s sigh, and she said, “Selena is just a lady, she needs to be treated gently.” “Oh,” Asher gave me an ironic look and a smirk. “My mistake, I’m sorry.” When the doctors arrived, Bertha immediately asked them to check my ankles. She watched my entire inspection. My gaze could not leave her. Of course, Bertha recognized my gaze, too, and she answered me with a gentle smile. For the first time in my life, there was a woman who treated me like that. I suddenly remembered my mother, wondering where she was all this time. Would she remember me and Gael? And my father- “Oh my God, our talented doctors told me your situ

Calantha’s POVAll I had to do at that dinner was shut up and eat.I was happy about it, because at least it didn’t get me into any trouble.During the meal, Asher occasionally watched me.What did he want?I was not a kid, and I always bothered him.After dinner, at Bertha’s request, Mary took me to places where there were many ladies of the Pittman family for me to get to know.“Long time no see, Lady Anderson,” said a straight dark-haired girl, whose face was filled with freckles.How ironic! She didn’t call me Lady Pittman, even though the members of this family all attended Asher and Selena’s wedding.Apparently, Selena wasn’t very popular with her family.I wondered what I should do, answer ironically or keep silent.“Selena, this is Vivi, Asher’s cousin. A smart and active girl,” Mary said in a pale, idle voice.She would lull people to sleep if she would read a speech with that accent.“Nice to meet you, Vivi,” I smiled elegantly and properly.“Mary, just Vivi? don’t forget me
Kiss Me, My Wrong Bride Chapter 15: Little Lamb
“Is that why I have to listen to you? Asher, I don’t believe Bertha would leave me alone when I was in danger,” Calantha said, glaring at Asher with a provocative look.“What gave you such strong faith?” Asher said sarcastically.“Because I’m her daughter-in-law, I met her as Selena,” Calantha insisted.Asher felt both funny and angry at her naïve thoughts.“As expected, this little lamb should be locked in Rosé, to avoid her causing more trouble for me,” he thought.Asher whispered in Calantha’s ear. He said, “Of course, listen to my every request, because you’re mine. Calantha, as soon as you signed that transaction, you were mine.”“It’s all temporary,” Calantha countered.“Oh, so after Selena returns, do you think you can still live in this upper-class society?” Asher said. “Best of all, don’t think or care about anyone in this elite, just focus on me. And don’t let me find out you’ve been in stealthy contact with anyone, or I won’t take revenge on you. I know, Calantha, you’re st

Calantha had to join an elite party once again. But it wasn’t like the ballroom party, where she was just a side character, nobody noticed her, she just went there, hid in a corner, danced with Asher and left. At this new party, she was the protagonist.How could Calantha confidently stand in front of the Pittman family’s members, the true nobles, and communicate with them?Calantha had asked herself many times, but she couldn’t find the answer. These sessions on the rules and conduct of the elite only kept her from acting low, but did not help her gain confidence and courage when faced with people whose social status was higher than hers.Calantha was under pressure.She ate less. In her last sessions with rigorous teachers, she thought that these sessions were not as scary as she had ever thought.And when she could no longer see them, Calantha became confused and panicked like she had lost a support.Calantha continued to live her boring days in a lavish and splendid mansion.

Kiss Me, My Wrong Bride Chapter 13: Dance
The next few days, Calantha learned how to dance. She liked it because it was the only thing that make she fell comfortable at Rosé. The other reason was, when she learned how to dance, the teachers would allow her to wear gorgeous dresses. It was as heavy as making Calantha fall in love; she wondered when she danced, if she looked like a princess, or if she looked beautiful.Through the butler, she knew that Layla was his assistant, known as “Lola”.Calantha did not see Layla anymore, she did not know where Layla was and what she was doing. She wondered when she could work on her escape plan. However, she trusted Layla, because of Layla's appearance at Rosé. Asher often came home for dinner. Sometimes he was late, Calantha thought she would eat alone, but the butler had asked her to wait for him.She speculated about Asher’s strangeness.Was it because she was familiar to Selena?He locked her up in Rosé, so Asher’s attitude had a tremendous impact on her life at that time.One day,
