3 Chapter 3

"Well what do you expect? A girl's gotta do what a girl has to do and if the only way to keep him away was seducing him then so be it." Ashlyn responded. The man chuckled."Well Miss Vampire it worked congratulations."

She laughed and shook her head."Well, then what do you got for me pretty boy" She sent him a wink."HAHA what would your husband say is he saw you here flirting with another man"The cook and several servants entered the room and placed a cup of coffee in front of her and Crepes. She licked her lips and moaned."well I guess I would make use of the opportunity and divorce him…" she replied nonchalantly.

The room fell quiet. Extremely quiet actually. The servants froze. The man froze. The old butler froze. Nobody made a sound and just left their mouths hang in the air. What was the madam saying? They all thought but nobody dared to speak up.

"What? We have been married for two years. Do you expect me to sit still and be bullied and harassed every time I have to go to banquets and parties alone because my dear 'husband' has been on a business trip for two whole years?"She suddenly snapped.

'These arrogant rich people! If not for my mother I would have long disappeared from their lives. This is not me at all!' She thought feeling angry out of a sudden.

'Calm down Ash this has never bothered you before why should it now?....or maybe I just don't want to acknowledge the fact that all the great stories about married life my mom told me about are not possible for me'

The servants continued their work secretly sending her pitying looks." cough* pardon me anyway I got everything settled Ms-"The man choked.

The very day the woman in front of him stepped foot on the mansion she was never acknowledged by her husband or any of his subordinates as Mrs.Bianco.Her husband made sure of it.

She laughed mockingly and the man could only sigh. "Call me Mike ''He told her with a sincere smile. She shook his hand and replied "Ashlyn Brown and Ash for short"She sent him a wink and walked him towards the door.

Mike felt himself blush. He pursed his lips and exited the mansion. Ashlyn's smile faded and she looked at the old butler who had a smirk on his face."Do you think that was enough?" she asked with a smirk of her own. The old man shook his head with a warm smile on his face.

Ashlyn looked at him and pouted giving him a 'praise me! Praise me!' look.

"The young miss is very good at acting. I am sure the divorce papers will arrive in no time.''Ashlyn crossed her arms and held her head high. "humph! Of course I am"

"But don't you think you should give him a chance am sure your mother-" The old butler tried to speak up only to be interrupted.

"We have been through this.''She told him ignoring the words untold by him making the old butler sigh.

She then walked towards the coffee table to finish her breakfast, quietly contemplating what to do next.

....

Mike walked inside a black car. It was simple and it looked like the person inside it wanted to be unnoticed and yet the elegance of the car did the opposite. With one look people could tell the car was so expensive that nobody could recognize it since it must have not even come out in the market yet. The person inside must be truly important.

Mike took the driver's seat and passed the files to the person in the back seat. The person took the files and placed them in the empty space next to him."You should check them what if you go broke because your wife wasted all your money" Mike said starting the car.

"I'll check them later".The man responded. Mike shook his head." you said that for the past two years and all the 26 reports there, which are about to become 27 are still unread."

"whatever" The man responded."Conner as your friend I need to tell you, to face reality"

Conner glared at him but Mike remained unbothered by it."Your grandfather took a liking to her and her mother so whether you or anybody else likes it while that old man stays alive she will remain your wife."

Conner did not react and kept his cold demeanor." ah I see y-you actually gave up the fight so you're waiting for her to- Ha HA HA what a cunning man! Tch waiting for her to give up and divorce you!" Mike said with disdain.

"How come I did not notice it before. My friend is truly an a**hole. You took advantage of her looking shy and timid knowing she would not complain to the old man and bravo I have to say bravo!!"Mike analyzed but smirked at him."Except you underestimated your wife. She's not as simple as she seems…"

"Mike, I suggest you shut up and do your work."The man finally snapped." what? BIG BAD WOLF CONNER IS MAD?" he mocked playfully.

"Well it's fine if you don't like her I'll keep her in your stead she is actually quite-umm cute," Mike teased while smirking.

Conner though stayed as normal as usual, he even checked his watch in annoyance."Hurry up and drive. We have a meeting in five minutes." He ordered.

Mike rolled his eyes and drove away.

The man took out his computer and started to work while Mike was watching his every move through the rearview mirror.

'You won't act like that for long Conner am almost 100% sure that if she can't melt your cold mountain then nobody can I just need an opportunity- that's it!' He thought.

Mike smirked as an idea flashed through his mind.

Conner stopped typing and raised an eyebrow at him. He sent him a questioning look before returning to his work.

Mike's smile grew even larger and larger by the minute.
