"Sasha love, can you over to the house please?" Vanessa said sweetly in the phone and Sasha sighed, it's been nearly two weeks now since she left their home, her wedding date has been fixed, she is to be married coming Saturday. Well, it's not a problem to her only that her husband to be has never called her or even asked to meet with her.
"Sure mom" she replied and she could swear she felt her smile, calling the woman mom really makes her happy, maybe it's because she never had a daughter, she thought.
"I'm waiting for you darling" Vanessa replied and hung up the call.
Sasha sighed and stared at the document in her hand, she is getting married but not for once had she gone wedding shopping with her husband to be, she has never been asked to select anything on her own. They had this two big wedding planners taking care of everything, talk about getting married into a rich family. She has an estimation of four hundred guests being invited and she wondered what she will be doing with so much guests.
She dropped the document and stood up from her desk, she picked up her car keys and sighed, it's been nearly two years now since she started this branch of the company and she really wants to make her father proud and nothing will shoot them up to the top front like getting the Jack and Jones contract, although the business plan is to take place in a year's time but they were already looking for the right company to handle it and almost all the growing firms are after it, well including some company's that have never met the light even after being established years ago.
Is she marrying him because of this contract? Of course it has to be for it but she knows deeply within her that it's more than that, in fact the contract is hardly remembered when talking about marrying him. How many years has she fantasized about him? From the very first moment she set her eyes on him in the middle school when she was just thirteen, it had been like that to their high school and they have only been separated because they had to go to different college.
She said goodbye to her secretary and a few others of her staff and walked outside the building, she stepped into her car and reversed from the lot before driving with one destination in mind, the Brown's. She still can't believe she is getting married into that family.
She passed the gate and drive into the country home, she pulled over in front of the mansion and a few servants greeted her, they all knew she is the new bride, the fiancé to the young master. Some of them often wondered why she agreed to marry such a cold man but they shook their head, they already know the answer, if given an opportunity, they will also marry him heartily, for who wouldn't want to marry into such family and not to talk of, he is also incredibly handsome.
She walked into the house to see Vanessa speaking to her son and her heart missed a beat, she never expected to meet him here. She swallowed and walked up to them and Vanessa smiled when she saw her "Darling, you are" she smiled.
Her fiancé looked at her then, their eyes met and his crystal blue one burned into hers, deriving a shiver from her. She cleared her throat and decided she must talk to him today whether he wants her to or not.
"Come sweetheart, I wanted you both to do something. There is this new wedding dress that arrived in one of Michael's boutique, I need you to try it on" Vanessa said with a smile.
Sasha looked at her startled, she didn't see that coming, she didn't know what to say and just nodded and the woman turned to her son "you hurry up now, so that you can go back to your meeting as you said."
He nodded and walked out of the house, Sasha didn't know whether to follow him or not but just decided to, she smiled and mouthed goodbye to her soon to be mother in law who waved at her. She rushed outside to see him getting into his limousine and she increased her running pace, she got to the car breathing heavily, when was the last time she ran? She couldn't even remember.
She got into the car beside him and the chauffeur closed the door after her, the limousine backseat was filled with a strong sexy male cologne, she sat on her portion trying her best to keep to her self but she couldn't help stealing glance from him.
He was just sitting there, his eyes were closed and his head rested on his seat, his hands were resting on his thigh, he appeared peaceful and she wondered if he wanted to stay like that till they get to his boutique? No small talks? She mean there are getting married in the next eight days for Christ sake!
Well, no need waiting for him to start, she can always initiate the conversation, she licked her lips and turned to look at him with a determined face "hi Michael" the name felt so sour in her mouth, she had stopped herself from mentioning his name and hardly get in touch with anybody with the name. Two guys she had rejected their advances because their name was Michael.
The man sitting beside her didn't hear her or even if he did, he pretended like he didn't, his eyes were still closed and she swallowed, he couldn't possibly had fallen asleep right? She mean, it's not even up to three minutes he got into the car "how have you been?" She tried again.
Still nothing, she sighed and looked out the window, what could be his problem now? She turned to look at him again and frowned, not accepting to be snubbed like that, she reached out her hand to touch him and he showed the first visible reaction she could see, he flinched.
Maybe not expecting her to touch him, slowly he opened his eyes and the crystal blue eyes were staring intently at her, she felt her heart miss a beat and she swallowed "is there any problem?" He asked in this deep seductive voice she had ever heard, his voice was more like a whisper and she actually forgot he asked her question.
When she finally recovered herself, he was still staring at her with a half closed eyes which made him looked sexy, she licked her lips while slowly grazed her teeth on the lower one, she heard him take a sharp intake of breath and when she looked at him again his eyes were closed again. She wanted to talk to him again but decided against it, it's best if she stays on her own for now.
Thirty minutes later they stopped in front of a shopping mall, the chauffeur got down and opened the door for them, he got out first and she followed after. They walked into the shop to receive a lot of greetings from the staff.
"Good evening Mr Brown" was sounding everywhere and he walked straight to a room while Sasha could do nothing but follow him. They got seated and there was a table with tea cups and a jug waiting for them. He poured himself tea and sipped from it. She just sat there looking around the very spacious room like a fifteen year old.
A woman in her late thirties walked in in quick steps, there was a younger girl behind her carrying a very big bag "I'm so sorry Mr Brown, I was just adding the finishing touches" she smiled.
Michael nodded and the woman turned to Sasha "will you like to try it on now Miss?" She asked with a smile. Sasha nodded and walked into the changing room with her. She stared at herself in the full length mirror and her mouth dropped open in awe, she looked like an angelic bride, the gown was pure white, it was off hand but has a lace sleeves that joined from the under arm, it showed out all her curves and then from the knee down, it looked like a freshly blossomed flower and tailed behind her.
She never expect to wear such a gown in her wedding, she turned to immediately to walk out of the room, she can't wait to see Michael's expression. The woman grabbed her hand just as she reached the door "what are you doing?" She asked.
Sasha stared at her as if she had gone nuts and the woman chuckled "haven't you heard of the saying that a groom is not to see the wedding gown until the day itself? If you show him everything now, how can he be surprised on the day?"
Sasha bit her lip, she is right but that only happens if the groom loves the bride, the man out there wouldn't even care if he see it now or on the day, she wanted to say but decided against it, there is no need putting confusion into the woman's mind course even she have not understand what is going on. She took off the gown and put on her original set of clothes.
She walked out of the room to see surprise in his eyes when he saw her but he immediately concealed it, was he expecting to see her in the gown? She thought but before she could even say a thing, he stood up and walked out of the room. She followed him to the limousine and got in after the him. The ride back was as silent as when they were coming. She looked out the window and when she noticed the road was not the way to the Brown's villa, she turned to give him a questioning gaze which he didn't notice or pretended not to notice.
She wanted to ask but told herself to forget it, where he is taking her it's not like he was going to kill her, she thought. Minutes later, the limousine pulled over and she looked out the window to see her house, she was shocked. He dropped her off? But what about her car? She wanted to ask when she notice her car pulling over in the driveway. She looked at Michael but he said nothing, believing she knows what to do. She sighed and nodded "thank you" she muttered when the chauffeur opened the door for her.
She got out and the driver of her car got out too and walked up to her, he handed her the key and got in the limousine with the other chauffeur, she looked at the man in the backseat through the window but can't make out his expression since the glass was tinted that one outside can't see inside. She raised her hand to wave him goodbye but the limousine already started driving off before she could finish the action. She stood there watching the leaving car and the tiny voice came again, can you live like this Sasha? It's not yet late to turn back you know but she shook her head and waved the voice away, it's just a matter of time and she would crack him, she thought and walked into her apartment.

Sasha stared at herself in the mirror, she can't believe that in less than one hour she will be saying 'I do' to her teenage sweetheart, even if he doesn't know she loves him, even if she knows he is gay, she still couldn't stop herself from wanting to rush down that isle and shout it to the world, that she do. She sighed as she remembered how he has never called her on phone to ask how she was doing. He had never visited her, that day of testing the gown was the last day she had seen him.Maybe things will change after tonight, maybe he is finally going to start noticing her after their vows, he shouldn't forget she is taking a big risk marrying him, which woman will marry a man who is gay? He should be grateful to her, at least it's because of her that his secret will stay hidden. Can that be the fact he accepted to marry her, because he knows she is aware of his preference to men and had wanted her to keep the secret for him? But if so, then how did he know she will agree?
Waking up in the morning, Sasha was surprised because the room was not familiar, she frowned her brows and only realized then that she was married, well you won't blame her since she didn't wake up in her husband arms.Husband? She turned to the other side of the bed but he was not there and then she heard the sound of a running water and knew that he was in the bathroom. She got up immediately, went to the wardrobe and got a robe and draped over her lingerie, she walked out of the room, went downstairs and got into the kitchen. Damn, she can get lost in this kitchen, she thought.Everything was where it was supposed to be, nothing missing. It's really good to marry into a rich family not that she is poor herself, after all, she has been living a very comfortable life. She settled to make breakfast and decided to make the fastest since he was already preparing to leave the house, or is he not? She can't really tell after all, he can't be going to work since today is actu
Sasha bit her lips, that is indeed true, just how did she forget? "So how I'm I going to make it up for you girls?""Exactly what I want to hear" rejoiced Agatha "you see, you are married to a billionaire, so money shouldn't be a problem to you anymore right? Good, you are going to spend on us tonight girl.""I'm so happy my mother in law is around, she will look after the little devils for me" Janet smiled."I'm already calling my babysitter" Agnes punched in a number into her phone and started dialing."Little eggroll is already out with her father and not coming back till tomorrow, so I'm free" laughed Agatha.Marilyn sighed "Sasha and I don't have babies yet, we won't have to worry about that one, so we are good to go."Sasha sighed, she haven't agreed and they are already making preparation "girls I...""No excuses Sasha, are you picking us up or should we be meeting you at the club?" Janet demanded.Sasha bit her lip, when the gi
The cab stopped her in front of the club, it was one of the biggest and widely known club in Los Angeles, she got down, paid the cab and turned to walk in when she saw her girls walking up to her "what the hell took you so long?" Questioned Agatha, she was dressed to kill in a short black gown, her hair in a ponytail.The rest all glared at Sasha and she clasped her hands together in front of her chest "I am so sorry, I had to wait for Michael to get back, that's what delayed me. I'm so sorry" she pouted."Oh I see, you guys didn't rush to have a quickie right?" Agatha asked and the girls all shouted her name "what?"Janet shook her head and said to Sasha "you are here now, so let's go in. I'm dying for a dance.""And some booze" the rest added."Sorry girls I don't think I should..." She was saying but then, why not? She thought "yea, booze" she added and the girls laughed before they all walked in, they showed their I.D cards to the bouncer and he let
A tall man in black suit walked into the club and all the bouncers there rushed to greet him. His crystal blue eyes searched the whole dancefloor but he seemed not to find what he was looking for, he reached for his phone to dial a number as his eyes roam around the whole room before settling on a blonde sitting at the bar with four extra women. She looked so happy as she was downing her glass content.He furrowed his brows, if she continues like that, she will get drunk. He cursed and walked up the stairs to the VIP lounge, they were tables around and people were sitting and drinking. He walked past them into a private booth where he sat, two bouncers followed him and each stood beside him.There were a lot of people in the club but his eyes were focused on one particular blonde in red skimpy dress. It's been long he had seen her that happy, there were a lot of clubs in L.A but she actually chose he's? Well he can't blame her, he owns about sixty five percen
Sasha felt the sunlight on her face, she frowned and wondered in her sleep how the sunlight was able to seep through into the room with it's drape always closed. Her neck hurts just like her back, she noticed she wasn't laying comfortably and her eyelids fluttered open. The first thing she noticed was the windshield and her brows creased, how can they be a windshield in their room?The sunlight shines through the window and that was when she noticed she was sitting. She tried to get up but noticed the seatbelt strapped on her body, her frowning face turned uglier and she looked around her surrounding, only to notice the steering wheel, the driver's seat, the gear and for her to make up that she is in the car.Why would she be in the car? She wondered and details of last night came pouring in, she had gone out with the girls and they had gotten drunk, she had gone to the ladies room and then she had seen Michael. He had carried her on his shoulder after shouting at
Michael watched her from the stairs, he wanted so bad to go to her, to pull her in his arms, to hug her and tell her he is sorry to make her cry, to tell her everything is going to be okay. He took a step and stopped himself, hell no, why will he do that? She started it all, she hurt him first, back then in the school, she hurt him first, why should he apologize to her? She brought it upon herself, he is only paying her back, let her feel the pains she made him feel. He knows it won't hurt her like it did to him after all, she doesn't love him. But he is going to make her life a leaving hell.Thinking to that, he shut his eyes and when he opened it again, all the compassion was gone, all that was left there, was coldness, cold enough to freeze even a Yeti, he turned and walked into their room.Sasha walked into the bathroom fifteen minutes after Michael left the house. She stepped into the tub, the hot water sooth her aching bones. She shut her eyes and held
A young man knocked on the office door before going in "yes boss?" Gary asked while looking at the cold man sitting on the chair and going through a document. He lifted his head from the papers and looked at the man standing before him."Cancel the contract we have with the minister, his son is in charge of it right?" He asked coldly."Yes boss."The cold man nodded "good. If they ask why, tell him next time when he goes to a club, he shouldn't touch any woman.""But boss, the contract is almost at the end. If we call off now, we have to pay five million dollars as compensation for canceling on them.""Transfer it to them then" he ordered."Boss, don't you think you should reconsider?" Gary tried to stop his action.Michael looked at him "he touched my wife, nobody touches my wife. If they refuse the compensation fee. Ask them to come meet me.""Boss ...""Don't Gary" he ordered and Gary shut up immediately, he values hi
