Thea found herself in an unfamiliar hallway. She walked further to find an elevator looking back to ensure that she wasn't caught or followed.Unexpectedly, she was pulled into a room and the door shut with a thud. She screamed but masculine hand muffled her voice before she could alert anybody."Help-""It's me," it was then she looked at the man pinning her to the door.

"Where were you last night?" Ashton froze at the door to his home. Releasing who spoke, he shut the door softly."That's none of your business," he told her, beginning to walk further into the kitchen."You were with her, were you not?"

Not even Ashton and not even his good for nothing girlfriend.She stepped into the sitting room quietly. Looking around for any sign of Ashton but saw none."I told you to stay a week more," Claire froze on the spot. The sound of that voice sending chills inside her."Why aren't you glad to see me? I thought you would be missing me so badly," she said. Claire turned slowly to the source of the sound. Her heart already racing at the familiarity of the voice."Indeed?" He chuckled. "I did miss you but a part of you more." Her breath turned tremulous and erratic. That was the night of Ashton's opening ceremony. She remembered both of them sneaking off to find a room at the floor above everyone."Kiss me Lockart," "N

"I do," Thea said, her voice echoing the silent hall. Freya held her lips in excitement. 'Now, you have been called to love one another. With the power invested in me by the church and the word of God, I declare you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.' His hand went round her waist instantly bringing her close to him. He closed the gap between them without wasting any time, sealing their lips together in a deep kiss. Absent minded to the never ending cheering of the crowd, they sealed their newly founded bond. When he finally let go, they were taking deep breaths, paying for the lost ones."Hey," he said. She smiled back immediately, muttering something similar to a 'hi'.---Clinging unto his arms, she smiled at the guests that greeted hem warmly.

An hour ago, he found out that her promise necklace still hung around her neck like she never took it off, while his, was somewhere in the house. He shut the wardrobe as quietly as he could so he wouldn't wake her up.He walked out of the room, trying to remember where he was with it last."Master?"The young man turned immediately to the soft voice of his maid."Maria," he said. For a moment there, they stared at each other. Her, trying to figure what he was doing up by this hour of the night. She stared right at his worried face.

She came here to tell lies about me and you all believe her?" Austin blurted out."Is it true or not?" "Of course it's not! She's only a liar who wants to ruin my family because I couldn't make one with her," Ashton scoffed. "How can you even say such a thing? It wasn't mistake that you have a son with her, you filled her mind with empty promises and now you speak Ill about her?""She was the one fooling around with me and why are you even defending her? She's just one of them, she was just a whore looking for who to please then." Ashton recoiled in shock at his father's words.

Thea stirred in her sleep, but she was restricted in her movements. She winced in pain as her vision now became clear after being blurry and weak."Hmm, you're awake." That deep voice made her pause. She turned in alert to the source of the voice. She sat up, dragging herself backwards till her back connected with the wall."Jace," she whispered to herself and the hair at the back of her head stood."Hello to you too, Thea." Jace said.Thea's eyes widened when she was connected to. "Jace, Jace please..." she now reeked of sweat and her fingers trembled in fear.

He did nothing but stare at her trembling form."Do you like my present? I knew it would surprise you when you woke up.""Jace, a bomb?

Ashton said sitting besides him. "Thank God you didn't die,""I am, I just got hit mildly. Just a sprain on the ankle." Samuel said."You got hit!" Thea stressed out."I was heading over to my car when this car came from nowhere. Thankfully, I was able to get out of the way in time."

Tap!Ashton looked up from the file he was holding to stare at the lady walking around his work space. A mini-library to be precise."Which one will I pick?" She muttered to herself. His attention went back to the documents in his hand. His own moved, as if signing something then he let it down in the table again."I think this one is better-"He cleared his throat intruding in the conversation she was having with herself. "You won't find anything interesting in there, I am not a fan of romance novels.""Oh my, as if I didn't know." She picked a random book from the shelve and sat before him crossing her legs."You want to read in here?" He asked her in surprise."Can't i? Is something here that I'm not supposed to see? Do you do something in private that-""Just stop,""But,""You can read in here if you want, I was only asking." He cleared his throat before getting occupied again."Do you think I should get my hands manicured?" She said after a while."Since when do you even do thos
