EXCERPT. "What do you mean?" "What I mean Ethan is that i can't live with a man who i am not married to." Maria snapped at me, her face flushed with emotion. This was the first time she had ever raised her voice at me. I could tell she was hurting. "So what do you want me to do?" Though i asked, a part of me already had a clue as to what she might say. "A divorce. I want you to divorce her so-." "I can't" I quickly cut her off. "Why not? Is there some law which says you can't?!" Maria paused. Her body trembling with rage," For God sake you were drunk Ethan! So was she! You have enough reason to get.-" "That's not what I meant." "Then what do you mean?" I didn't understand it myself. I had no idea what had come over me, but the flame. It burned deep inside my chest. I had to understand what it meant. "I want to feel it." "Feel what Ethan? You're not making any sense!" "I'm not stupid. Even though I was drunk i still had some Sense. There's no way i could have married her if i didn't have a reason. If i didn't feel something." "What are you trying to say to me Ethan." Maria slowly approached me, tears dripping down her face. I looked away from her, i didn't want my gaze to meet hers. I knew what i was doing wasn't right, i just couldn't stop myself. I had to find out what happened that night. "What I'm trying to say is that. I need to feel it. I need to understand what i felt for her that made me marry her. I need to understand that feeling and until i get that... I can't divorce her." "What?" "I'm sorry Maria." I knew i had hurt her, i knew what i was doing was wrong. But there was nothing more i could do. My mind was made up.

You are my wife.

"Korea?"

"Yes Sir. Apparently, Maria booked it for her. What do we do Sir?"Andrew panicked.

"What do we do?!" Ethan paused. He couldn't believe what he was about to say next. "Contact airport authorities. Tell them she's carrying drugs!"

"Miss this way." A man cladded in all black attire escorted me to the airport. All the while, he kept communicating with some people through the device in his ear. During the reception, some men came into the room i was in and took me away. I tried to struggle but it was all in vain. They kept me in a hotel room, oblivious to the world around me. Today however, at the early hours of the morning, they ordered me to get myself ready, i was going to be relocated to a new country. Somewhere far away from the man i was forced to marry. They told me that madame Maria had already made preparations for me, i will be well taken care of in the new country. During the period of my stay abroad, my marriage certificate will be terminated. This all sounded uncanny to me but i accepted it. I didn't blame Maria at all, any woman would do same. I was just upset I'd never see Annie again.

"We'll wait here for boarding to begin." The man informed me. He sat beside me.

"Um..."I fidgeted, "I don't have any luggage." When i left the wedding, i left empty handed. The clothes i have been wearing was provided by my the men that watched over me.

"That will be arranged for when you get there."

"Mm."

"BOEING 124 TO SOUTH KOREA IS NOW BOARDING." A voice announced.

"That's our queue."The man stood, in an ins6, he lifted me up and by the hand, he pulled me along with him. I had checked in and about to board the plane. The man stood rooted outside, ensuring i got on the plane. My turn had reached when suddenly, they was a huge fuss in the background.

"Stop THAT WOMAN!!" An officer yelled in the background. A whistle in his mouth. Soon, a troop of officers came in from nowhere. They pinned the man who had escorted me to the ground and started rushing towards me. I panicked. I started struggling to make my way through and get on the plane.

*BUZZZ* I fell to the ground, it felt like a lightning bolt had struck me, i fidgeted uncontrollably. My heart racing. I had been stunned by a taser. Everything faded to black.

"Will she be okay?"

"Yes Sir. Just be patient and wait for her to wake up."

I heard random voices around me. My eyes were to heavy, i couldn't lift them.

"Sir, telling airport authorities she was carrying drugs was taking it too far!"

Andrew?

"Mm..."I mumbled, i struggled to lift myself off the bed i was lying on.

"It's okay. Don't push yourself." A familiar yet distant voice supported me.

"Who?" My eyelids slowly drifted apart. As the piercing light came jabbing into my eyes, a shadow moved slightly, protecting my eyes from the light. "Um..." Finally, my vision fully restored. "Andrew's... Boss?"

He chuckled slightly, "It's Ethan." He said slowly. I was still in his arms. His gaze unwavering. "How are you feeling?"

"What's happening?" I turned to Andrew fir answers. "Isn't this Korea?"

"No you're back home." Andrew paused. "Well not home, you're technically in a hospital."

"Why?"

"I'll explain later." Ethan spoke once more. "I'm sorry for the stress i put you through."His tone was mellow.

"I don't understand. What's happening?" Their words made no sense to me. I was supposed to be in another country, what was going on? Why was i in the arms of the one person i was escaping from.

"I'll make this easier for you." Ethan spoke up, bringing me from my thoughts. "Your name is Janet Ethan Alexander. And the moment we leave this hospital you'll be following me back to my mansion." He said. His voice full of hidden emotion.

"What?" I pulled away from his hands. I fell unto the bed. What was going on. My head ached uncontrollably at that moment. "Andrew?!" I yelled turning to him. He shifted his gaze, he wouldn't look at me. Was he abandoning me?

"I know it's a lot to process but it is what it is." Ethan stood, buttoning his suit. He stared at me for a moment, his face hardened. The emotions faded away and his gaze was cold.

"You'll be discharged in two days time. Be prepared."He turned to leave.

"Wait!" I yelled. "What about Maria? Why am i following you to your house?" I was in a daze. How could things go so wrong.

"Maria and I will settle our issues. Right now all you need to do is get ready. You're leaving with me because you are my wife. " He stated, shortly after he left.

His wife?
