The sound of footsteps echoed through the grand hallway, the only other sound being the soft rustling of his clothe. I swallowed hard, my body tensed up as I awaited his approach. Every nerve in my body was at alert. I stood up immediately our eyes met. He walked with a graceful stride towards me, his body moving effortlessly across the polished marble floors. I managed a smile, stretching my hand towards him for a shake only to have him ignore it. He glanced at my outstretched hand and back at my face, still not bothering to return the gesture.I awkwardly put my hand away, finally taking a proper look at him. He is strikingly handsome, with chiseled cheekbones and a piercing green eyes that only drew one in. His dark hair had grown longer than when I had last seen him, it was brushed to the back into a ponytail, a strand set aside on his forehead. He wore a tailored suit that hugged his lean physique. The fabric, a deep shade of navy blue that complimented his skin. “Let’s not was
“Do you, Ashley Tanner, take Colton Daniels as your lawfully wedded husband until death do you part?” My eyes flutter open, standing opposite me was Colton, his eyes fixed on my veil. I cleared my throat.“I do.” “Do you, Colton Daniels Takes Ashely as your lawfully wedded wife until death do you part?” I watched Colton straighten his back, standing even firmer and more confident. “I do” "With the power vested in me by the law, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.” Colton steps closer to me, lifting the veil off my face, our eyes meeting for a brief second before he dips his head and kisses me by the corner of my lips.He steps back just as the guest we invited began to clap for us. I heaved out deeply, trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am no longer just Ashely but now the wife of Colton Daniels. We both turn to face the guest and soon we were surrounded by the little people Colton had invited which consisted of his friend and two other people I haven’t
Colton steps into the room, the sleeves of his shirt folded to his elbows, his suit jacket thrown over his shoulders. His eyes wandered around the room and stops on me. He looks around again like he had stepped into the wrong room.“What are you doing here?” He asked, leaving me confused. Here I was sitting on the bed, changed into my pajamas and sending my goodnight message to Rave when he walked in.“What do you mean?”“This isn’t where you are supposed to be so why are you here?” He asks again, finally shutting the door close. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, wondering if the man in question had some underlying memory issue.“We got married today, that’s why I’m here.” I replied him. He walks towards the closet and from where I was I could hear him rummaging through there. I had taken the liberty and arranged some of my things in the closet. “Did you remove my things from their usual place?” He asked, stepping out of the closet and leaned against the door frame. I’m beyond conf
Colton Daniels-“She’ll be here soon, Mr Daniels. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll tidy up and be on my way.” Hannah tells me, I glanced at her and nod, dismissing her with a slight wave.I sat down on the large yellow sofa right in front of the stairs, waiting for my supposed wife. There’s just too many things that need to be ironed out between us but I fear it’s past that now. After what happened two years ago, I can’t find it in me to be totally civil with her. My phone dings, letting me know I had an unread message. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, already knowing who is sending me these messages. I glanced at my watch, eyebrows furrowing in slight annoyance. It’s five minutes past and she isn’t still here.The women I paid to work on her have long been gone but here we are. She’s still not here. Looks like she has a thing for backing out at the last minute, doesn’t she? I stand up, slipping my hands into my pockets, about to walk up the stairs and drag her out of the room if need
Colton Daniels~“You should’ve told me.” Ashley whispers but I heard it. It’s been ten minutes into our drive home, it was raining hard, It began barely two minutes after we left my parents house.I glanced at here eyebrows quirked up. “What?”Ashley turns to look at me, visibly swallowing, I could see her fighting the tears. “You should’ve told me you had not told them yet. You should have..” She sniffles. “Why, What difference would it make? It wouldn’t make them hate you less.” I shot back irritatedly. Ashley visibly flinches at my word, eyes brimming with tears.“I know but still. You could have told me. I would’ve braced myself for it. I wouldn’t have-““You wouldn’t have what? Tell me, what did you think? That you’ll be welcomed with open arms like a lost daughter returning from war? What were you expecting? A grand ceremony?”This time the tears fall, she’s quick to swipe them though. “Colton, I know I did wrong. I know I shouldn’t have done what I did.” Her voice breaks in bet
Colton kisses like he’s on a quest, like he is determined to come on-top. He kisses like a king, domineering and firm, with so much focus and intensity it makes me dizzy with need. I sighed into the kiss, feeling my knees weakened when his hand finds my open skin beneath the shirt, his finger slowly really up my under boob. I felt goosebumps rise in my skin, shivering internally when he cups a boob in his hand. Colton grips me even tighter, making me open my mouth even more, allowing his tongue slide into the walls of my mouth. A groan escaping his throat. Colton’s hands on me, it’s addicting, divine and leaves me dizzy with immense want. I shudder when Colton snakes his hand on the nape of my neck, holding me possessively. Heat pools in the pit of my stomach, I could barely keep the whine that left my lips. “Fucking hell, Ashley. You have no idea what you do to me.” Colton growls out, immediately attaching his lips to my neck, I tilt my head sideways, giving him even more access. H
My possessive Billionaire~“Yes, Peter. That’s right. Um, okay then. I’ll be expecting you then. See you.” I stood by the table, watching as Colton conversed on the phone, twirling a pen in his hands. Seeing him in the work environment made him look different from the person I see back home.He drops the phone and looks at me, our eyes meeting got the first time. I’m slightly taken aback by the intensity of his gaze, his eyes swiping at my body. I shift awkwardly under his gaze.“Ava will direct you on everything that needs to be done. Just follow everything she says.” He tells me like I’m just another employee. I palmed my lips into a thin line, a little confused actually. I still don’t understand why he wants me working for him. I don’t understand why he chose to have this contract marriage with me. What does he stand to gain from it? It’s not making sense to me. At least for me, I know it’s for my father but him? I have no idea. “Okay, I just need to-"“Also, no one should know we
My possessive Billionaire~Colton Daniels~“Dude, are you seeing this? It’s crazy man.”Alec chuckles, clapping hard at the two men who finally decided to hatch it out and let it be a tie. We’ve both been sitting down watching the two men hassle it out, none of them willing to give up. Thirty minutes later, they’re still stuck in a loop playing the same game and growing tired till they decided to give it a rest.“Colton…” Alec called out again, eyebrows raised, he lifts his fingers and poked Colton.“What?” I snapped, irritatedly.“What shit your pants? You look like someone cheated you and now you can’t wait to fuck them-over.” He says. I look at him, a very unimpressed scowl on my face.“You’re not funny.” I deadpan. Alec rolls his eyes, bringing the glass of wine to his lips and gulps it.“Wanna talk about it? I don’t mind playing therapist every once in a while.” He says again, earning himself the middle finger. “Go fuck yourself.”Alec rolls his eyes “How’s your married life with
My possessive Billionaire~"Ashley, Ashley.” I stirred awake, eyes fluttering, a whine escapes my lips and a chuckle could be heard above me. I blinked twice, clearing the burry lines in my eyesight only to see Colton staring at me.“Good, you’re awake now.” He stated. I sit up, looking around my surroundings but was still in the bedroom in the plane.“Have we arrived?” I asked, stretching my toes. He shook his head. “No, but we will b in some few minutes which is why I thought to wake you up. That’s okay, right?” He asks.“Of course, thank you.” I replied. Colton holds out his hand. I glanced at his outstretched hand, tongue darting out to lick my bottom lip. I slipped my hand into his, allowing him help me to stand.We walk back to seat because in some minutes, the plane would be landing. Colton helps me with my buckle then sat down. Five minutes later we were getting off the plane. The air hostess voice echoing benson me as she bade Colton a good by in an even more overly sweet vo
“Do you have everything you need?” Colton asked as we walked out of the house. I nod, approaching the car.“Yes, you don’t have to worry. Our presentation will go alright, don’t fret.” I say, smiling softly at him. He nods, passing our bags to the driver who immediately goes to put it in the car booth.It’s been five days since Jennifer came to the house to warn me from their parents anniversary and honestly I don’t want to go either.We hopped into the car, already heading to the airport. Our flight leaves for two this afternoon. I glanced at Colton who was on a call, he has been extremely busy for the past few days which by extension made me busy too. Colton had a white sleeveless top on, a berry baggy joggers to match. His hair wasn’t styled or anything, he left it’s long and curly like it is. All in all, he looked exquisite."Yes, thank you, I appreciate it.” He says over the phone before cutting the call, leaning back against the chair.“Everything okay?” I asked, seeing the slig
“Here, you can print it out here.” Tyler says, pushing the door to an office open. I quirked an eyebrow up, looking around. We haven’t gone far from their department but I still haven’t seen any of the rest around. I stood outside the door by the hallway, looking into the place and truly I cold deee a printer inside.“Come on, go on and do what you have to do.” He says, grinning at me, he stored aside, hands on the doorknob to let me into the place. I walked in, not wanting to be waste anymore of my time. “No one uses here?” I asked, pulling the printer open to start working on it. Hopefully it’s not too urgent for Colton. “Not really, we just use it when the printer out there is being a mess, you know.” Tyler says from behind. I nod, sliding the paper into the machine.I heard the door click from behind and turned to see what it was. eyebrows furrowed when I see Tyler standing by the door, adjusting his glasses.“What are you doing? Why did you lock the door?” I asked, ignoring the
The meeting is official over now after two hours of debating back and forth. The shares buying wasn’t received well by some of the investors which cause a rift. It took a while for everyone to come to a proper conclusion. I stood, arranging the files and everything. I glanced up to see Colton speaking to one Mr Bernard. After everything that’s happened today, I know now of the tension between Chris and Colton. Chris recently took over his fathers company and he has been a pain in the ass for Colton. Buying Mr David’s share is the one thing Colton didn’t want to happen and yet.“Miss Ashley Tanners, is it?” The voice me standing rigid. I inhaled, glancing back to where Colton stood but he was busy. I held the iPad and files in my hand and turned to see Chris behind me. He smirks at me but after seeing what happened during the meeting, it doesn’t fit well with me anymore.“I’m surprised Colton go my rid of that old man and hired you instead. You’re more pleasant to see.” Chris says an
My possessive Billionaire~“Here, schedule an appointment with Mr Peter and let me know how it goes.” He paused the file to me. I nod, jotting down the request.“That’s all, you’re excused.” He says, not looking at me. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. It’s been a week since our lunch with Rave and Alec and like usual, it’s like a switch has been turned off in Colton. This time, I have no idea what I did to piss him off.A sigh escaped my lips, I turn to leave.” I stepped out of his office, a frown on my face. I have no idea what is wrong with Colton but it is affecting my mood. It’s makes me sick. “Hey, what’s up?” Ava’s voice broke me out of my reverie. I look up to see her standing in front of my table, head tilted sideways as she stared at me.I palmed my lips into a thin line, shrugging lightly as I walk around to my sit. “Nothing, is there something I can help you with.” I ask and she nods, passing a file to me again.“We need his signature there.” She tells me. I nod, putti
My possessive billionaire~The door opens and Alec steps in, I watched as he and Colton fist bumped theirselves, Alec slowly removing the shades on his face away.“So?” He grins at Colton who rolls his eyes, walking back to the couch.“So what?” “Come on, I came for something, don’t do me like this.” Alec says, walking after Colton. He finally lifts his eyes and our eyes meet. I smiled awkwardly at him, feeling nervous. I remembered I saw him at at the dinner at Colton’s parents house. I know he knows of everything that’s happened. My heart clenched at the thought. Alec looks at Colton and then back at me.“Hey, Ash. It’s okay if I call you Ash, right? Or would you rather I call you Ashley?” He rushes out. If I didn’t know better I would’ve said he’s also nervous but I do know better and for that, I know he’s not nervous for anything. “It’s fine, I’m okay with any, Ash or Ashley. I don’t mind.” I replied, not knowing what else to say. Colton and I might be in for a contract marriage
My Possessive Billionaire~I sighed, blinking back the tears that were threatening to escape my eyes. I slowly reached out to hold his hand. “Please wake up soon.” I muttered, looking at his unconscious face.It’s Saturday today and I decided to come here and check on my dad, away from Margaret’s prying eyes. I didn’t tell her I would be coming to the hospital today to check on my father. I’ve ignored every of her calls, knowing she would only be calling to give me hell.The door squeaks and I drop dad’s hand, turning to see who the intruder is. A nurse stepped in, fully clad in a blue overall. “Excuse Me, I’d like to change the patient’s drip, Please step outside.” The nurse says. I nod, wiping the tears that trickled down my chin.“Excuse me.” I replied and stepped out of the hospital room. I planned to use half of the day with him, just sitting and generally waiting for him to wake up. The doctor says he would wake up soon and I shouldn’t worry. They say this is because of the drugs
