I was feeling trapped in a worse situation when I recalled what happened with Chris. It faded after a blink, last night with Agat's flashed before my eyes. I wanted to stare at him but couldn’t help falling into a deep sleep. When I woke up, his bare chest was pressed on my bare back.
Chris' one wrong step, his mistake had upset all. Fortunately, I managed to run away from him. I didn't want to rush things. There was more than a week for the wedding. There were a lot of things I wanted to discuss. Now there was a big problem. Chris was a playboy, all knew it in his office and out of office. That was the huge reason his father didn't trust him with business. Agat was the new CEO of the family business. He was doing great and taking the business to the top. I didn't know, how would this work.
My eyes were half opened, staring at the large photo. Agat was smiling jovially, his arm was around his brother, Chris' s
The shock filled me when I saw Chris on the other side of the door. Rosemary got an important call about emergency surgery. So she left and planned to continue our shopping in the evening. We were staying at his parents' house for a few days until renovation finished at his house. My heart began to pound loudly in my chest. I grasped the door knob in my hand. The pain shot through my arm but it couldn't stop the fear that was crawling down my body gradually. A line embedded between his brows. I felt the dread. I was distracted from my fear when I heard the familiar voice, " Aly! " My best friend chimed from behind Chris. We both worked together. Rosemary asked me about my friends. Jen was my only family. Our parents left us a small apartment. That was enough for us both. I didn't have any friends to be bridesmaids at my side. I wanted to ask Becca but stopped myself as
Agat Rayden could have any girl he wanted. He was worried about me. It was written all over his face. He cared for me. I couldn't ignore my insecurities. He could change his mind at any time. Every time, it made my heart thunder. I didn't wanna mistake his care and attention for something else which would hurt me later like hell. I could not deter Agat, he had our contract. I hadn't read it thoroughly. The contract he showed me and the contract I signed were different. The signed one seemed with more clauses and rules. My brother was happy. I was happy too. I swang my feet out of the mattress after a deep sleep. I grimaced at the piece of paper under the empty glass. I plucked it from the table removing the glass over it. I smiled reading his beautiful handwriting 'Be ready at seven. We're having dinner together.' &
This whole thing was bizarre. I loved it but I couldn't digest it. The CEO, my billionaire husband just made me breakfast. I took a small bite of it. It was delicious. I was gawking at him in astonishment while eating my breakfast. My lucky star was shining today more. He's my lucky star. He didn't look at me staring at him. I was tempted to talk anything to him. He ate his breakfast silently. I did the same. Though, I wanted something more out of his silence. 'Er! Get a grip, Aly! He's your husband because it's occurred under contract, not love.' Love! It was another trouble. My feelings were growing. It was a relief he couldn't find out what was going in my mind. Otherwise, he would be staring at me with his opened mouth. When he stood up from the chair. His gaze locked with me for a second. It seemed a lon
Equally dangerous and mysterious seemed Agat to me. He cared for me so much after the incident. He appointed security out of the door of his house. He didn't allow me to go back to my home. I was feeling a little prisoner. It wasn't in the contract, still, he wanted me to stay here with him in his penthouse. He asked his mother to cancel the shopping and asked me to rest all day, " Agat! " I opened my mouth, looking at him with beseeching eyes so he could hear me. He cut me off with the raise of his finger. " We've talked about it. You're not safe in that small house. There's no security and camera. You're living upstairs until our marriage. I'll not stop there. " He patted his mouth with a white hankie and kept it on the table back. " But it won't be the first time I'll be alone. " I slowly said, glancing up at him still holding my pleading gaze " Because you're going to be my wife." He
My eyes widened when I saw him coming at us. My heart gave a loud thud and began its jog. He was looking so handsome in a dark blue tailored suit, as it was only made for him. He held the dress which his mother chose for me. He couldn't see my wedding gown. Yeah! We weren't only buying my wedding gown, " Perfect," He smiled and asked everyone to leave. It wasn't a wedding gown. It was a poop pink gown without shoulders and sleeves. I knew he wanted me to try on this dress. "Undress," He whispered slowly. I let the silky peach gown pool around my feet. I kept my gaze on the ground. It was only us. I could sense his eyes roaming on my body. My skin felt on fire. He stepped closer. Gradually, I lifted my hand to gather my hair behind my nape. My skin tangled when he softly held my wrists and tugged it down at my side, " Let
To get my mind off of him, I flicked through the pages of a random book. I didn't want to confess that it had affected me, to see him with her. But I needed to put some distance between us before it got too difficult for me to breathe without him. It was written on my face and I didn't want him to accept it, whatever offer she was giving. I forced my attention on the book, " Alyssum! Come downstairs. " His loud voice came. My body jolted as the book slipped out of my hands. I rushed downstairs, " What happened? " I asked, stopping at the end of the staircase. " Dinner is ready. Come, " He said looking up at me. " Oh! I thought, " I whispered and walked away from him. I kept my gaze at the floor and walked to the dining table. The Interior wasn't completely changed from the previous setting. They had renewed the previous. I loved it better. Shining and new!
There was no reason to think over our relationship. I couldn't reach anywhere without his consent. Expectations would always hurt in many ways. I wasn't prepared for it, the hurt part. But I could take risks. I was wondering, would Agat know my feelings? First! Did he feel for me? Would he feel what I felt for him? It was quite confusing. I shook my head and proceeded to sit on the couch. I avoided thinking about them. When he wasn't around me. I hadn't the ability to wipe all signs of my emotions off of my face as Agat seemed to be perfect in noticing it. Sometimes, his behavior was puzzling me in many ways. The contract applied when we would be in front of the people and out of his penthouse. ' Perhaps, he's behaving good toward me because of Chris. Yes, this may be the reason. I'm still confused. I'm scared of being left without giving any reason.' My phone vibr
I rushed to the room without glancing at him. I couldn't take away the sight from my mind. I wanted time. I laid on the couch and closed my eyes. Tears slipped down my cheeks. I kept them close until the darkness engulfed me.When I opened my eyes. He was sitting in front of me. He was wearing the same clothes. His shirt's sleeves were rolled up. It was looking, he didn't sleep last night, " Hey! Are you feeling like talking? " He asked in a serious tone.I pushed myself up, " About what? " I asked in a hoarse voice." You know. " He leaned forward." Why? I'm no one, just your contracted wife. " I whisper
