All Chapters of Asher's chosen bride : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ivana discovered about the marriage alliance formed by her father, who was in need of an investment to stop his company from going bankrupt. “Dad, you can't just marry me off to Asher Jackson, I don't love him." Ivana was devastated and yelled out. “You can't decide who you get to marry." Philips answered, annoyed at her outburst. “You did not even inform me before taking this decision, what about Anna?” Cassie was awed at the sudden decision. “You should understand I needed the investment so that my company will not shut down." Philips replied looking frustrated that they could not understand him. “You know I love Raymond so much. He just proposed to me two weeks ago. Please Dad, I'm sure there is another way to stop this marriage." Ivana responded with tears in her eyes. “Do you know Raymond's father could not help me when I needed the investment from stopping my company from going bankrupt?” Philip was so furious and complained bitterly. “You don't have to be selfish, it i

Early in the morning Ivana was woken by the sound coming out of her door. The pain she felt all over her body from last night's event made her pale. Her cheek stung from the slap Cassie gave her. She stared at the ceiling in frustration. Today is the day of the engagement to a man she had never met. She heard a loud knock on her door. “Who is that again?”. She checked the time on her phone seeing it's still early. The door swung open, revealing two maids, followed by an entire team of stylists following them with their equipment. They carried bags of beauty tools, and accessories. "Ivana, my darling daughter," her stepmother, Clarissa, cooed as she stepped in, her fake smile as sharp as a blade. "You have to get ready, today is your special day. The Jacksons have spared no expense for their sweet bride." Ivana clenched her jaw. She wanted to scream, but she knew better not to do that. The waxing was torture, it took a lot of time. The makeup artist tried different shades o

“Am I just a pawn in your hands?” Ivana whispered. “What did you say?” He asked, not hearing what she said well. “Nothing” she replied, sighting deeply. The night air was thick as Ivana and Adrian left the engagement party. The murmurs of the guests fading behind her, but their mocking words still rang in Ivana’s mind. She clenched her fists as she followed Asher into the black SUV waiting for them at the entrance. Asher's movement looks calm and composed like nothing had really happened. The only sounds were the soft sound of the engine and the serious look of the man beside her who was staring at his phone. Ivana stared at his sharp jawline, his sexy eyes staring straight ahead, his hand resting on the gear. She turned her face away, staring outside the car, wondering if she she say something. Alot was going through her mind. Asher was the first to break the silence. His voice was deep. “Did you still love him, is that what you wanted?” Ivana frowned not understand

Ivana woke up the next day, finding herself in Asher's arms.She stared at his face which looked peaceful. He was even more gorgeous while sleeping. She giggled tracing her fingers on his face. “I'm sure you can't get enough of this handsome face, can you?” He opened his eyes, teasing her.She was caught unawares and tried getting up.He held her down. “Not so fast little wife.” His husky voice whispered to her ears, sounding sexy to her ear.She felt so hot suddenly, and pushed him back on the bed as her face was red from blushing.Ivana was relieved he finished up his medication when she slept off last night.“I need to use the bathroom now.” She said, and rushed to the bathroom ignoring him.Ivana stepped into his bathroom, she noticed how well arranged and neatly the bathroom was. She checked her face in the mirror, her hair was scattered like a bed nest. Everything she needed was there in the bathroom.She took her bath and brushed her teeth. She also used his shampoo on her ha

Everything happened so fast, Ivana noticed she had lost her balance. She felt herself tripping down into the pool of water. She bobbed her head out of the pool trying to catch her breath.She tried calling for help, her lungs and nose were burning from from the pool of water.Cassie gave Anna a sharp look telling her to be more careful and not be more thorough with her plan.Cassie was scared, and she was pacing around the pool instead of calling for help.Just then, Asher was seen with a complicated gaze, coming towards them. He dashed into the pool without thinking twice as he saved Ivana from drowning.“Ivana are you alright.” Cassie stuttered, masking her malicious intent.“Sister, I saw you trip into the pool just now, are you ok?” Anna cried out, shivering in front of them.“Everything happened so fast, I don't understand how she fell into the pool.” Anna added, fear was evident in her voice.Anna was scared Asher would find out she had the intention of pushing Ivana inside the
