Chapter 4

• The moment Ashley shouted, Everyone started gushing into the room both the securities and servants. They wanted to see the intruder who dared to enter the Elrod's mansion.
• But once they came in, they all stood still…
• Tony went forward to help the young man she pushed so hard to rise to his feet.
• " Are you okay? Tony asked while lending his hands for him to stand up.
• " What are you doing?! He is an intruder! Aren't you going to arrest him or something?!
• Ashley gasped, she didn't apprehend while they were not doing anything.
• "Seems you got it wrong ma'am " Tony had already helped the young man to his feet but he still held his waist, the push earlier hit him hard.
• "Who is he and what is he doing in my room and on the bed! Ashley folded her hands around her chest. " is he a pervert or something "
• The other servants who stood there started murmuring and turning their gazes at each other.
• " Ma'am, you are…… Tony tried to explain.
• "Enough! The young man raised his hand. " I will take it from here" He demanded and moved closer to Ashley.
• He was shirtless and it showed off his abs, while he shifted near Ashley, she found herself drooling all over him. She had never been this close to a Greek god! His eyes, his lips, his pointed nose, it was giving everything!
• "God, I'm going to have a heart attack for a pervert! She said those words in her mind and maintained composure.
• "I'm Jason and you? Jason stretched out his hands for a formal introduction.
• "Ash… Alexis, yes Alexis " she spoke out, almost confusing the name she was given.
• "I don't care who you are, why were you lying on my bed? Ashley adjoined, without bothering to return the handshake. There hasn't been any explanation or apology yet.
• "He is your husband" A voice came from the back and everyone turned their heads. It was Mr Reyes Elrod, he rolled his wheelchair in.
• "What?! " Ashley wasn't sure if he heard him clearly.
• "Yes, you heard me right, " Reyes uttered.
• "But…. Ashley made a move to defend the fact that he wasn't the one she wedded.
• "No buts! You are betrothed to him." Reyes declared and spun his wheelchair and left the room and Tony and the other servants followed.
• Ashley appeared stunned, she didn't know if she should feel delighted or sad.
• But learning that she wasn't betrothed to an old crippled man but a handsome dude made her blush without even knowing.
• "You better apologise for labelling me a pervert earlier" Jason spoke out while he sat down on the bed.
• " About that, ….. " Ashley also sat " I'm sorry, cool now right? Ashley questioned while she stared into his cute grey eyes.
• "Yeah sure " Jason grinned, he emerged as a less troublesome man.
• "But why didn't you show up at the wedding? Ashley got curious when everywhere became silent.
• "I couldn't make it, the flight was delayed." Jason spun around to face her, he was still shirtless. Even though it was their first time meeting, Everything about him was so cute.
• Ashley couldn't get enough of it. But she swallowed hard and asked him.
• "Haven't you been in the city? While looking away from him, she didn't want to continue staring; she might leave a hole in his body.
• "It's a long story, but yes I haven't been around " Jason gently answered. " but you pushed me hard earlier, it hurt like hell. You should consider giving me a massage" Jason added and touched his waist.
• "Whose fault was it? You scared me " Ashley folded her arms.
• "You held me tight earlier, you were drooling all over, right? Jason touched his hair exuding a magnificent Aura.
• "Yes, I mean no " Ashley didn't know when that word came out of her mouth but indeed she admired him.
• Jason grinned "You even kissed my forehead, I was shocked you know, that's sexual harassment" he pointed at her and jokingly said.
• Ashley blushed and Jason seemed pleased to see her smile. A knock came at their door, and Ashley went over to open the door.
• "Ma'am, sir, Mr Reyes wants you to come down" The maiden who stepped in and interrupted their conversation conveyed her message.
• Jason has not been in Berlin city for long, he was the only son of his parents. He was sent away for protection when he turned 15.
• But his father wanted him to come home and take over the company as the CEO. He didn't waste time getting a wife for him.
• On the day of the wedding, Jason was on a flight and that caused the delay prompting Reyes to stand in, but without proper procedures. What mattered to him the most was the wedding certificate.
• Ashley and Jason were seated at the dining table with Reyes.
• They were served with a lot of dishes and Ashley didn't even know where to start.
• But she took her cutlery and started devouring each meal, salivating on each bolus.
• When Jason watched her, he didn't realise a smile left his lips. Was she always that hungry?
• "Jason, you both will go and get your marriage certificate today," Reyes instructed while cutting his steak.
• " Alright Dad" Jason took a glass of pineapple juice and sipped down.
• "You would resume your duty in the company immediately. Alexis, you don't need to work, you can stay here and take care of things. Jason would provide anything you need " Reyes beamed a smile and continued with his meal.
• Ashley was taken aback by that decision so she decided to fight for herself.
• "I'm sorry but I will have to oppose that, I would like to work, I'm already working" Reyes became a bit amazed, Even Jason.
• They heard from their investigation Alexis didn't want to do anything but should be treated like a princess. Was she different from the Alexis they asked about?
• "you are working? weren't you meant to be in law school?
• Reyes inquired while his eyes stayed glued at her.
• Now Ashley had to cover that up, Even Jason gazed at her.
• She slowly brought down her cutlery to the table.
• "I gave up law school, I just work part-time and I Love it" She replied, hoping for that to cover whatever curiosity they had.
• Though Reyes wasn't satisfied, he felt the investigator he sent might be wrong.
• Maybe the investigation wasn't right.
• " Sure you can" Reyes didn't plan on opposing that.
• "Thanks" Ashley took a glass of water to sip.
• "And I want you both to give me an heir soon! Reyes announced and Ashley choked on the water she was sipping.
• Her cheeks flushed and she was instantly hot.
