"Shying away from your wifely duties, little wife?" He questioned in a husky voice, lowering his face to hers. Ariel quickly turned her head away, "No, Mr. Chaz, you're misunderstanding me again," She voiced quietly. Aiden scoffed, not believing her. He looked down at his chest and found her slim hand still placed against it. "You're quite corny, Ariel. Saying you don't want me, yet you're hands are all over me," Aiden whispered in her ear. *** After overhearing her father and stepmother planning how they were going to marry her off in place of her Stepsister to the unsuccessful son of their debtor. That night, Ariel plans her run away, but that same night, Ariel mysteriously gets kidnapped. Waking up to discover she'd been kidnapped by the same people she was trying to run away from made her life seem like it had hit rock bottom. Now, she was going to be forced into a marriage with a man she didn't know and didn't love. But, would everything remain the same for her when she discovers that her new husband was the richest Billionaire in the country? Chaz Aiden was a successful billionaire with billions of businesses all over the world and zero interest in women, especially after his mother had divorced his father for a richer man. When his grandmother asked him to do him a favor by marrying the Hudson family's daughter, he knew it was for the sake of greed. He swore to make his new wife's life a living hell, making sure he reminded her that she would always be an object he purchased, contracted and never to be loved.
Ariel had been silently waiting for everyone to leave so she could get away from Aiden. And the moment the door was shut, she immediately tried to escape Aiden.
But she wasn't able to, it was as if Aiden was expecting her to try to escape the moment everyone left.
Ariel's eyes widened in surprise when he suddenly drew her closer, his fingers sprawled flat on her tummy.
"Aiden, get your hands off me. Grandma is gone; we don't need to pretend anymore," Ariel was still frowning as she lowered her hand to Aiden's, which was casually resting on her flat tummy as if he hadn't heard what she'd just said.
She held his hand and lifted it, surprisingly, he let her lift off his hands.
Ariel was happy; she knew that he, too, must be tired of all the pretense.
