View MoreOlivia stirred awake, her eyelashes fluttered, she slowly touched her head as she glanced around the room and sighed when she discovered it was all a dream when she was having fun with Lawrence and Chloe.“You look happy in your sleep, why frown now?” She heard Asher’s voice and glanced to her side to see him sitting on the sofa and facing her directly.She rolled her eyes at him and sat up on the bed. “I never thought I would see your face.”Asher scoffed at her words, then he put down the papers he held. “You want to see my face, isn’t that the reason you got ill and refused to eat?” He teased her, but Olivia glared at him while adjusting her hair.She looked left towards the window to discover it was already dark, she quickly glanced at the clock on the bedside and her eyes dilated.“Yes, you slept for hours, one who sees you would think I have deprived you of sleep since we are on our honeymoon.” Asher’s voice made her look at him again, she understood what he meant by those words
Asher walked out of the room to the living room and he stared at Olivia who sat on the chair facing the large window in the living room, a blanket over her shoulder.After her discharge, Asher has made the maid make sure she ate something, he threw a large feast, although he didn’t eat with her since he wasn’t craving anything due to the sight of Jane happily having fun with Gray.He exhaled sharply and walked over to Olivia, then he slowly sat on the chair beside her and turned his gaze to her. “Rather than staring out of the window, we can go out.” He spoke softly and Olivia didn’t spare him a glance.“I just want to be alone, can you let me be?” Her voice were weak.Asher rubbed the space between his forehead. “What exactly do ladies what?” He muttered with a frown forming on his brows.Olivia grounded her teeth and turned to him. “If you can’t handle me, then set me loose.”Asher leaned back on the chair. “I can’t, can you not endure for five years, it is not so much to ask---““I
Roy walked into the Lincoln mansion after getting the order sent by Lincoln, he walked to the study room after being acknowledged by the guards in the mansion, he knocked on the study room door.“Come in!” He heard from the inside and drew a sharp breath before pushing the door open.Roy lowered his gaze when he was greeted by the cold expression from Lincoln, he knew this wasn’t an ordinary call, Asher was afraid of his father and he has every right to be, since Lincoln was a man who held no smile on his face.“Mr. Lincoln, you asked for me.” Roy walked close to the desk, his eyes still lowered, scared to meet the gaze of Lincoln, one thing was looking Asher in the eye, but it was different from when he looked at Lincoln.Lincoln scoffed when he noticed Roy wasn’t looking at him, he knew the effect his cold domineer has on people, and he was unbothered.“I will only ask this ones, Roy,” Lincoln walked closer, his two hands tucked in his trouser pocket. “Is Asher in love with Olivia?!
Asher arrived at the hospital address Roy forwarded to him after flying into the country, he was first approached by the maid who had been with Olivia.“Mr. Asher…” The maid quickly lowered her gaze at the sight of him.“How did this happen?” Asher’s brows furrowed.“She refused eating for days, and she locked herself in the room, she wouldn’t let us come in, we only broke into the room since we were concerned about her after three days to find her collapsed on the floor…”“You waited three days before breaking in?!” He said coldly and the maid fell to her knees.“I am sorry Mr. Asher, we won’t make that mist----“ The maid was still apologizing with streaming down her eyes but Asher walked past her and walked into the room where Olivia lay.He scoffed when he saw her laying there with her eyes closed, he curled his hand into fist. “I never knew marriage would be this difficult…” He groaned and the sound of his muttering made Olivia flicker her eyes open.Her vision was blurry when she
Asher sat down next to the window of a classy restaurant with a cup of coffee in his hand as he sipped on it, he was dressed in a black suit, his long legs were covered in black trouser and his eyes held no expression as he stared out of the window towards the two couples by the beach.He curled his other hand into fist and his jaw were clenched, his brows furrowed when the lady leaned over to the man, linking arms with him and kissing him.It was Jane, his ex-girlfriend and Gray, after Olivia shattered his phone, he had left the house, informing the maid to tell her that he was going on a business trip, but he had come to find Jane.He lost her contact when Olivia tossed his phone down, unlike Olivia, he didn’t have her number on her mind, he couldn’t call Jane anymore, so he wanted to see for himself, and looking at Jane and Gray together, his blood boiled in his vein.He has been watching for three days now, he had seen Jane and Gray act like a lovey-dovey couple wherever they go,
Olivia woke up the next morning and glanced at the bed where she lay only to discover it was empty, she looked around the room but it was also empty, she sat up from the bed and glanced towards the door.After Asher ran out from the room at noon, she was expecting him to return, but he didn’t show up, she had dinner brought to her room since she didn’t eat lunch, but due to her anger at Asher, she refused to ask the maid about Asher and she ate because she was hungry.She expected Asher to come back to the room because this was a single room in the hotel, but he didn’t show up, she got to her feet and walked over to the balcony, she glanced down to where she had tossed his phone.A sign escaped her lips when she saw some cleaners cleaning it up, she shook her head to push the guilt she felt aside. “He caused it, it’s all his fault.”She turned around to head back to the room but stopped when her eyes flickered to the place she had curled up at after Asher released her, a cold run down
Asher stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a comfortable pajamas, he glanced around he room but couldn’t find Olivia in the room, her bag was still on the table, but she was gone, he ran his hand through his hair and sigh.Putting away the towel he was holding, he walked over the large window and looked out just to see Olivia sitting on one of the chairs at the balcony. What is she doing now?He clenched his jaw, he turned to leave the room, deciding to ignore her, but then he stopped and walked to the balcony. “Don’t act so pitiful, Olivia.” He told her as he sat on the chair next to hers.“Marrying me isn’t so bad, you are free to do whatever you wish to do---““If this is freedom, then why was my phone confiscated?” She balled her hand into fist, and glared at him.Asher shut his eyes momentarily. “About that---“ He scratched the corner of his brows. “I didn’t want anything getting in the way of marrying you, who knew who would call you or who you would call that will aid your es
The driver pulled over at the luxurious apartment Roy had earlier reserved in Park Hyatt Sydney and he opened the door for Asher and Olivia who stepped out, Olivia glanced at the building.She scoffed to see how luxurious it was, how did she become so stupid to let herself believe this man, he was a wealthy man, and even one whose family has the best company all around the world.She never should have believed him, she never should have felt pity for him and let herself fall for his corny sorrowful expression, part of he was to blame for being in this mess.This was not an arranged marriage that those wealthy people arrange for their children, her parents signed a contract, but this marriage wasn’t even considered as one since she is unaware of the terms or the marriage, she was sold, for money, it was terrible to think about it.“Let’s go, honey.” Asher said softly and she turned her gaze to him, there was a smirk on his lips, but his eyes were void of emotion.She curled her hand in
Lawrence groaned and turned to his side, but he immediately squinted from the bright light coming in from the window. He turned to his side again and slowly flickered his eyes opened, his gaze first settled on the unfamiliar pink quilt.His turned to his side and glanced around the unfamiliar room, he immediately sat up and got out of the bed, the room door opened just when he was about trying to remember how he ended up here, and he glanced at the door to see Angel walk in with a tray and plate.“You are awake, I brought you some hangover soup.” She told him and slowly placed it on the stool next to the bed. “Come and have it, you had much to drink last night,” She glanced up at him with a smile.Lawrence tried to process everything, but he barely remembered how he go here. “Angel, how am I here?” He raised the corner of his brows.Angel raised her hand. “I brought you here, I couldn’t send you home since I don’t know where you live, this was the only place to bring you because you w
