" Is she dead?" Liam asked me and I looked at her body which seemed to be lifeless.
" No her heart still beats." I said after laying my ear on her heart and observed that they were still impulses.
" We should take her to mum." Liam said and I looked at him confused.
" Why?"
" She looks lost, homeless and quite..."
" Ugly." I completed Liam's statement.
" Yes, she is very ugly." Liam added looking closely at her.

[ The Strange Girl]

~ Ryan's POV
*
• We alighted from the car and carried the girl into the house. My mum on sighting us, stood up from her reading chair surprised.
" What is that?" She asked as she dropped her books.
" You mean who is that." Liam said as he dropped her on the floor. She looked very dirty obviously so I won't entirely blame mum fro addressing her as 'What'
" Okay I'm lost. Can you explain to me what's happening?" She said and we looked at the girl on the floor.
" Well mum as we were taking a ride round the street, we came across her lying in the middle of the road helplessly." I said and mum came closer to the girl and looked at her.
" So..." She said expecting more explanations from us.
" Well, she looks hopeless and stranded so we wish that you can adopt her as your own daughter since we never had a sister." Liam said and I nodded. Mum looked at us, then at the girl lying on the floor.
" Hmm...we don't really know much about her." Mum said and Liam and I looked at each other. We knew that with this statement made by mum, we'll be able to convince her to take the girl in.
" Well according to the people who live around the area we found her, they said she is a hopeless orphan who has been wondering around." Liam lied and I wasn't comfortable with the gravity of that lie.
" Are you sure?" Mum asked and he nodded.
" Okay, she's quite old. I believe she's older than eighteen so adopting her will be hard. Since she's an orphan, we can just take her as our own." Mum said and smiles beamed on Liam and I's faces.
" Beatrice!" Mum yelled the maid's name and she scampered to where we were.
" Take this girl upstairs and bathe her, brush her teeth and make her squeaky clean." Mum instructed and Beatrice nodded to every part of it and she carried the girl upstairs.
" Go tell the driver to start the car. We will need to take her to the hospital for checkups." Mum said and Liam ran outside to meet the driver.

• Well, being Rich, Classy, Intelligent and Handsome is all I do! My name is Ryan Williams, I'm 27 years old and also the heir to the William Hector Enterprises owned by my father. My mum, Lady Jane Williams is one of the high society queens and also owns many businesses. My younger brother Liam is 23 years old and is his final year in College.
• All we ever wanted was a sister but sadly after Liam's birth, it was confirmed that my mum can't have anymore children. Leaving us 'sisterless'. Seeing this girl lying helplessly struck me like as if it was my own sister. I thank God mum has allowed us take her as our own.
?

• After the maid finished bathing her, she was brought downstairs although still unconscious. Everyone stared at her, she was so ugly and you could puke looking at her. She was even less uglier when the muds were on her face.
" Uh..." Mum looked at her quite disgusted.
" She doesn't look...so...uhm..palatable." Mum said but I don't want mum to change her mind about her.
" Mum can't we give her a facial plastic surgery?" Liam asked and I actually like the idea. I mean we have the money for that.
" Yes mum, it's a good suggestion." I said and mum looked at us.
" Okay, I can tell my brother to do the surgery for her." Mum said and Liam and I were so happy.
" Thanks mum." Both of us said.
• We carried her into the car and drove to the hospital. Immediately we got there, a full body scan/checkup was done on her and in a fee hours time, the results were compiled.
" HIV Negative.
Two Kidneys working perfectly.
Genotype AA
Blood Group O+
Heart Beat steady.
Heart perfect condition.
Brain and Nervous system working perfectly.
Womb in perfect shape.
And...Virgin." The doctor said and we were happy.
" Okay doctor. Thanks."
• From there, we proceeded to Mum's brother's office where can commerce the surgery. We described how we wanted her to be, we paid him and left. We were to come back tomorrow to see her.
?The Next Day?
• When dad came back from work yesterday, we informed him of what happened and he approved it. We're on our way to the hospital to see her now.
• We were immediately directed to the ward where she was. We sat down close to her and removed the duvet covering her face. She was
" She's marvelous!!" I yelled when I saw her.
" Extremely stunning." Liam added.
" What is her name?" Dad asked and I tried remembering her name because someone had told me yesterday.
" Her name is Sylvia." Liam answered.
" Well not anymore, her new name is Ashley." Dad said and we all smiled and looked at her. It was just as if a baby was born.
" Ashley Williams." Mum said and stroke her hair.
" Doctor when will she wake up?" Dad asked him and he smiled.
" Anytime you want." Doctor said and brought out something that looked like an oxygen machine. He placed the cap(where the air comes out from) on her nose and switched it on. Some gaseous substance came out and she inhaled it. After some seconds, her eyes opened.
• Doctor Stark removed the cap from her nose and switched of the machine. She sat atop on her bed and looked around. Her gaze settled on us and she stared at us confused.
" Where am I?" She asked with a golden voice.
" You're safe now." Mum said with a smile.
" I wiped her memory as you instructed." Doctor Stark said and dad shook him.
" Nice Job. Can we take her home?" Dad asked.
" Yes you can."
" Okay, Ashley, let's go home now." Mum said and she instantly knew that's her name and she stood up from the bed and we all went home.
?
?
?
?
?
?
• The next few days were about us teaching Ashley about her new life. We took family photos, family portraits and posted them on the internet so the world can know about our new sister. Well, all was going well until a week later.
?One Week Later?
• Ashley was applying make-up while Liam and I were planning on our next Business goal. The door opened and Mum, Dad and one of dad's associates Mr. Brown Brixlar and his son Kaleb walked in.
" Good evening everyone." Mr. Brown greeted as they came in and sat down.
" Welcome."
" Please can you guys go to your room?" Dad said referring to us. Liam and I picked up our books and stood up. Ashley also picked up her makeup kit as well.
" Ashley, you stay. Boys you can go inside." Dad said and we went in leaving Ashley behind.
*
~? Mr. Brown's POV?~
*
" Well, meet our daughter Ashley." Mrs. Jane said and pointed to the pretty lady we saw in their pictures.
" She's very beautiful." I said and shook hands with her. Kaleb also did the same.
" Well, I told you I wanted to see both of you and your daughter." I said and everywhere was quiet.
" My son, Kaleb has taken a liking in your daughter." I said.
" Yes I really like you daughter, I've seen her pictures and she is stunning." Kaleb said and the Williams looked at us surprised.
" Think of how strong our business and friendship will be if our children marry. Plus she'll make a good mother to Mia." I said and no one replied.
" Well, in short words. I want to marry Ashley."

[ She Can't Get Married ]
*
~Ashley's POV
*
" Marriage?" Dad asked confused.
" Exactly. I mean what better way is there to strengthen our business and friendship." Mr. Brown said and I looked at him disgusted.
" Well, the decision is entirely left to Ashley. Whether she wants to get married or not." Mum said and I agree with her. They can't just force me into a marriage.
" So Ashley, what do you think?" Dad asked and just as I was about to speak, Mr. Brown interrupted.
" Who would say no to this handsome son of mine? Kaleb is quite a paragon of masculinity." Mr Brown said and I became infuriated.
" I don't think Ashley is happy with this." Dad said and Mr. Brown frowned.
" Well, that is not good. If our children can't get married then I'm afraid our business partnership will have to be over." Mr. Brown said and Dad's eyes widened. I know he can't afford to loose a partner like Mr. Brown.
" It's not like that Brown. It's just..."
" You have 24hours to decide what you want. Kaleb and I shall take our leave now." Mr. Brown said interrupting dad. He and his obviously handsome son, stood up and went out of the house.
Such Impunity they display!
So now Marriage is now a condition for business..and I'm the BAIT?
I won't partake in this nonsense. I won't get married to a boy who I have no idea where he came from or who he is.
And it seems he already has a child outside marriage. Impossible!
" I'm going to my room now." I said and went upstairs angrily.
*
~Mr. Hector's POV
*
" Did you just see what happened!" I said almost yelling and Jane just shook her head.
" Brown is being selfish obviously." She replied.
" Ashley hasn't even stayed up to a month with us and now she is to get married and leave us forever."
" But honey, Kaleb doesn't seem like a bad boy. There's nothing to worry about."
" Oh, I see you're on their side ey Jane?"
" No, I'm just saying. If you loose Mr. Brown as your partner, be sure our empire has gone into the dumpster." She raised a very important point. If I loose Mr. Brown as a partner, my business will crumble beyond repairs.
" Think about it sweetie. There's nothing to loose." Jane said then stood up and left the living room.
*
~Kaleb's POV
*
" Dad I'm honestly not in support of this idea of yours." I said as we were driven home.
" Shut up! You're just a kid. You won't understand the intelligent tactics I've just played." Dad replied and I rolled my eyes.
" You and Mum successfully frustrated Tricia and she ran away and left Mia with me."
" Oh forget about Tricia, that girl is no good for you as a wife. She is not rich like us, I never liked her. Ashley is rich and beautiful. And she can take care of your Mia your child more than how Tricia would've." Dad said and If not that he's my dad, I would've knocked some brains into that bald head of his.
" Dad, now woman can take care of a child more than the mother." I said and dad shot me a bad look.
" Take it or leave it. You will marry Ashley and there's nothing you can do about it. Hector will not want to see his business crash, so he'll marry off his beautiful daughter to us." Dad said and I still have this feeling that there is a hidden agenda behind all of this.
*
~?Liam's POV?~
*
" WHAT?!" Ryan yelled after Ashley finished narrating what happened downstairs.
" They want to get you married?" I said shocked as well.
" Well that's impossible...at least for now! And I won't let you get married into that sketchy family of the Brixlars!" Ryan said annoyed.
" But he threatened to cut of partnership with daddy's business." Ashley said and Ryan looked at her.
" Let him go to hell with his partnership! We don't need it."
" Actually Ryan we do, without Mr. Brown's partnership we may go bankrupt in uhm.......256 Days, 9hours, 7minutes and 45seconds after the termination." I said giving specific details.
" Hmm...quite specific Liam." Ashley said and I smiled.
" Well, being a mathematician pays off once in a while." I replied and Ashley and I high-fived.
" We're doing something reasonable and you guys are 'high-fiving'??" Ryan yelled in rage.
" C'mon Ryan. Why are so worked up. I'm the one who's supposed to be angry here but I'm not, I know dad won't sell me off just like that." Ashley said and Ryan looked as if he calmed down a bit.
" Yes Ryan. Calm down. I don't even know why you're this angry." I said and Ryan grunted loudly and stormed out of the room in rage.
*
~Ryan's POV
*
• Why can't she understand that I care about her so much? Why can't she just understand that I love her so much, and not just sisterly love but...Ah! I can't explain.
I'm deeply in love with her.
From the very first time I set my eyes on her, despite her ugliness then. I loved her, and now that she has transformed into a beauty goddess, I seem to love her more. My love increases for her DAY by DAY.
• I can't let her get married to that jerk called Kaleb. I mean, if Tricia could run away from him, don't you think Ashley won't like it there. I can never allow her get married. She will be for me and ME alone!
• I won't let dad or anyone marry her off, especially if she will be married off to Kaleb.
I will have to go and talk to dad.
?
?
• It was already dinner time, but it seems like the preparation of the food was delayed because up till now, the food isn't ready.
" This is my chance to talk to dad." I said and rushed downstairs.
• If you want to ask dad for something and you want him to agree, just ask him when he's hungry. He'll agree to it so that you'll leave him alone and stop pestering him.
" Good evening dad." I greeted as I went downstairs.
" Evening son, haven't seen you all afternoon." He said and I sat beside him.
" Well, I've been busy with something." I replied and he nodded his head.
" Well dad, I wanted to talk to you about something." I said and he adjusted himself on his seat.
" Well I'm all ears."
" Dad, Ashley told me about the whole marriage proposal stuff by the Brixlars." I said and he looked at me.
" Continue."
" Well, I don't think it's proper we agree to it. Ashley hasn't spent up to a month with us, were still trying to know her and now you want to set her with a life commitment?"
" I know where you're heading son. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Dad inquired.
" Yes, actually I'd like to ask or should I say beg that you don't agree to the proposal." I said and dad chuckled a bit.
" Well? What do you say?"
" You'll find out son. First, go call everyone. I have an announcement to make." Dad said and I rushed upstairs to call my siblings. I know he will annul the proposal.
?
?
• After calling Liam, Mum and Ashley, we all assembled in the living room awaiting dad's announcement.
" Good evening everyone." He greeted.
" Evening dad."
" Well, I'm sure everyone knows that matter at hand now. Which is the marriage proposal made by the Brixlars regarding your sister and daughter Ashley." Dad said and there was silence.
" I have made my decision. And as the head of the family my decision stands and no one is to debate or argue on it. Agreed?" Dad said and we all nodded in agreement.
" Perfect. Now, I've considered everything and everyone's pleas whether to get Ashley married or not and I've come to a conclusion." Dad said and everyone awaited his decision.
" Ashley MUST get married to Kaleb!"
" WHAT!?!"

[ Welcome To The Brixlars I ]

~Ashley's POv
*
" Dad! I can't get married to Kaleb!" I said at the top of my lungs.
" You lie! You must get married to him." Dad said in a strict tone.
" Dad no, it's my life and you can't force me to get married to someone I don't love." I yelled back and he was shocked.
" First of all young lady, don't yell back at me. Secondly, I'm your father and I make the decisions. Understood?" He said and tears came from my eyes. Feeling bad, I ran upstairs to my room and shut the door behind me.
*
~Ryan's POV
*
" Dad this is highly preposterous!" I said after Ashley left the room.
" Do you question my decision?" Dad asked and I nodded firmly.
" I do not only question but I disagree. I mean we can't...." I paused because and cleared my throat then reduced my voice a bit
" I mean we can't just let her go into the world like that. We haven't even gotten to know her" I said in a low tone so that Ashley or anyone else can't overhear.
" That's my business. Ashley is not going to another state or country, she is within the area. Besides, the decision has already been made." Dad replied and I looked at Mum who hasn't said anything.
" Mum are you looking at all these happening?" I asked her and she turned her face away from me.
" I can't let your father's business crumble sweetheart." Mum replied and I was angry at her.
" It's because she isn't your blood daughter that's why you're taking an irrational decision over her. I mean, if it were to be Liam or me who was in her shoes, I believe you won't take this decision." I said in an angry tone. They looked at me speechless and when I got tired of their silence, I went upstairs.
• They'll regret this decision they made. It won't favour them in the end. I promise!
*
~?Kaleb's POV?~
*
• I poured some more whiskey into my glass and took a sip. I still have a strange feeling about dad's decision. I don't know, but I can't bring myself to terms about it.
• Why will he force me to marry a girl simply because of businesses. This girl in question isn't even a BIOLOGICAL daughter of the Williams. It's not even up to a month since they "adopted" her or so.
• I don't need a new wife...maybe I will need one but definitely not now. I've never complained about taking care of Mia. I can take care of her all by myself for now. Mia herself understands the situation and isn't pestering me consistently of the whereabouts of her mum.
• It's almost three years since Tricia left me and at least I can say I've gotten over it a bit. I still don't get why my parents dictate my life for me. I pity for the poor girl Ashley, because her life isn't gonna be the same once she steps feet into here.
?
?
• Well as you know already, my name is Kaleb Brixlar and I'm the first child and only son of Honourable Brown Brixlar and my mum Mrs. Linda Brixlar. I have two younger sisters, Amelia Brixlar and Sydney Brixlar. I'm 30 years old and Amelia is 23 while Sydney is 16 years old.
• I have a daughter as well, Mia. She was the product of Tricia and I's love story and she's 9 years old. Actually she was given birth too before Tricia and I got married. We got married when she was four.
• My parents dislike for Tricia was what made her run away. They hated her so much simply because she was poor. Now they want to get me remarried. They don't think of my interest.
" Dad!" Mia yelled my name and I was snapped out of my thoughts.
" Yes Mia."
" You promised to take me to Ballet class today." She said and crossed her arms.
" Is it Saturday already?"
" No it's Wednesday. Off course dad its's Saturday, don't tell me you forgot." Mia said with that sad baby pout plastered on her face.
" Okay, are you ready?" I asked her and she sighed.
" Ehem??" She cleared her throat and pointed at her outfit. She was already wearing her ballet tutu and I didn't even notice.
" Okay, go get my keys." I said and she giddily went upstairs to get the keys.
• If you're talking about Mia, then you're definitely talking about dance. Mia is a sucker for dance especially Ballet, that's how you'll know she's a true daughter of Tricia. Tricia loves dance so much.
• Mia got the keys and we were set to go. But just as we were about leaving, Mr. Hector came into the compound. We greeted and we went our separate ways.

" Ah? Welcome my friend." I greeted when Hector came inside.
" Pleasure seeing you again." He replied and he sat down on a couch.
" Hannah! Get a glass of water." I yelled.
" So what brings you here?" I pretended, when deep down I know he has come to inform me that he has agreed to hand off his daughter to me. I know Hector, I know the right spots to hit him that he'll agree to my decisions.
" Well, about our discussion yesterday, I want to tell you that I've briefed my family about it and Ashley has agreed." He said and my heart leaped for joy. Even though I knew he will agree to it, I'm more happier hearing it from his mouth.
" Wonderful. It's nice to see you consider our friendship and business." I said and he smiled.
" Okay, so the marriage should be between now and the next two weeks." I said and his eyes bulged out.
" Two weeks?"
" Yes. Don't worry I will fund everything. Every single expenses." I said and he smiled faintly.
" Okay then. I'll take my leave now." He said then stood up and left.
Yes!!
Now Ashley will soon be in our house. I can't wait to see the look on Kaleb's face when he hears that.
" Kaleb!!" I beckoned on him.
" Yes dad?"
" Come here now."
*
~?Mr. Hector's POV?~
*
" Two weeks?"
• I suddenly think that Brown is not doing this merely because of Business and Friendship. A lot of strings seem to be attached. Anyways, I have agreed to it already. I don't need to convince anyone else to agree to it as well. As far as I can get Ashley to say "yes" that's all I need.
?
• After the drive home, I was exhausted but I need to talk to Ashley first. I went upstairs to her room. It was locked. I knocked but no reply
" Ashley sweetie open up." I said and knocked for the umpteenth time. Then I heard footsteps from inside and then I heard the lock open. Ashley's face peered out and she looked like she's been crying all day
" Good afternoon dad." She greeted. Her voice very faint.
" Can I come in?" I asked and she opened the door a bit wider and I went in and sat down.
" What happened?"
" Well sweetie, I know you're sad but I really need you to get married to Kaleb. He's a nice guy and trust me you'll fall in love with him soon." I said and she shook her head.
" No dad."
" Please sweet heart, I need you to get married to him. I beg of you. I can even kneel down for you if you want." I said and was about knelling down when she held me and pulled me back up.
" No need." She said and looked me into the eye without saying a word.
" Fine. I'll marry him but only because of you dad." She said and I hugged her. She just saved me and my business.
" The wedding will be in two weeks time." I said and she was shocked.
" Two weeks?" She yelled and I sighed then went out of her room.
*
~?Ashley's POV?~
*
• Clad in a pure immaculate white wedding dress and white pumps to go with it. My vale covering my face and my bouquet of flowers in my hand, I looked at the mirror.
• A woman's wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but I'm afraid not in my case. Not when you're forced to marry someone you don't know just because of your father's business.
• Simply because of dad, I've put my happiness at stake. I will give my dignity to a man I don't know. Go into forever with someone who I have no amount of feelings for.
But sadly true, I have no option! There's not turning back now. I have to go on.
• A drop of tear ran down my cheeks. I'd better stop crying or else I'll ruin my make-up. Let me look beautiful on the outside at least, but ugly in the inside.
" It's time." My cousin Hilda said and I dried my tears then we both stepped out of my room and into the Bride's Car then drove to the church.
• Two weeks ago, I was brought to a decision to marry Kaleb which I am doing for the sake of my father. Ryan is hotheaded over it and is not even attending the wedding as well. Liam and Mum aren't happy either but they are attending at least.
• Kaleb's mum isn't in the country so she will be missing the wedding.
I'm on my way to a life commitment.

" Do you Mr. Kaleb Christopher Brixlar take Ashley as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked Kaleb.
" Yes I do."
" Do you Ms. Ashley Sienna Williams take Kaleb as your lawfully wedded husband?"
" Yes I do"
" Before joining these two in Holy Matrimony, is there anyone who doesn't approve of this two being together? Speak now or otherwise remain silent forever." The priest announced and there was dead silence.
• Just as the priest was about to join us, a slender arm raised up and gasps filled the room as everyone turned to see who will not be in support of the marriage.
" I am not in support of this marriage. I don't like her and she can't be my new mum!" A young girl yelled.
" WHAT?!"

• Did I also mention that Mia has extreme guts? Yes! Like the type her mother has. She doesn't have fear and is really bold.
" Well, I guess this marriage has to be adjourned." The priest said and the room was filled with gasps coming from here and there.
" What?" My dad exclaimed as he sprang up from his seat on the front row.
" She's a minor. How does her decision matter in this?" Dad asked and everyone began to murmur. I see reason in what dad says. Mia is a minor and her decisions are clearly not valid.
" Well I agree with you sir that she is a minor but she plays an important role in this family and her decision will matter, especially this that has to do with her mother figure." The priest said and dad fumed with rage.
" Oh c'mon. Can we just forget about Mia and go on with this marriage? Any child in her shoes will do the same, she only said that because she hasn't know Ashley." Dad said and there was confusion amidst the crowd.
" Well I say the wedding must go on!"
" No, the child has the right to choose her mother."
" The child is a minor and is totally dependent on her parents decision. If the two couples wanna get married, then let them do so."
• The audience said their minds and now it's only the priest officiating that can decide whether the marriage will go on or not.
" Well, I say the marriage should go on. And since there are no other adults opposed to this marriage. I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Kaleb Brixlar!" The priest said and everyone clapped except Mia, she frowned and was looking so uunhappy
" You may now kiss the bride." The priest said and I could see the hesitation on Ashley's face. I mean KISS who?
" Cut Cut Cut!! No one wants to see you guys kiss." Mia yelled and everyone laughed but dad flashed her a bad stare and she comported herself.
*
~?Ashley's POV?~
*
• I feel so embarrassed right now. That Mia girl has guts. Just see how she utterly embarrassed me in front of everyone. If we're gonna be living in the same house then she has to learn how to keep her big mouth shut whenever she sees me.
" Well at least, you can hug the bride." The priest said and Kaleb came closer and we hugged. I felt a little bit shy about it, but it's just a COMMON hug.
" On behalf of my family, I'm sorry for making you marry me." Kaleb said. He has a sweet voice and this statement of his proves he also has sweet heart as well.
" It's no big deal." I said and we disengaged from the hug.

?Somewhere In Manchester?
• It was a cold rainy day and everywhere was looking so gloomy and boring. I was sitting on my bed with my reading glasses on and my laptop in front of me. I was online checking for dance schools applications or dance competitions or anything at all related to dance.
You can say I'm a sucker for dance
• I'm Nadia Dutteron and I'm 27 years old. I'm not so rich actually but at least I don't lack any necessity. If you must know, I'm a graduate of Theatre Arts in West Holman University. I love anything that has to do with dance. I'm looking for my big break to stardom that's why I'm interested in dance competitions that will showcase me to the world.
Enough of me for now
• As I scrolled through the search results, I saw something that caught my eye. It was an advert for a dance competition.
❇Become A Star Dancer Now!
Participate In The Dance2Fame
Competition now and give earn yourself a
chance to win $500,000, A all expense trip to Malibu and an endorsement with Mega Dance Cooperation!! ❇
• My eyes nearly popped out on sighting that mouth watering advert! Wow! I really need to apply for that!
• I opened the portal and applied for it, filling in all my necessary and required details. After applying, I was told to check the site next week to see if I'm selected. I really hope I'm selected.
" Nadia!!!" I heard my mum call out to me. I closed the site and jumped from my bed and went to answer her call.
*
~?Kaleb's POV? ~
*
• Well, the wedding was over. There wasn't a reception because there is no need for that. What is the use of having a reception when the groom and bride are not actually "Happily Married" ?
• Well we're back home, away from the attention of all those wedding guests. I checked the time, it was 7pm. I've been on my laptop for three hours! I'm reviewing contestants for the dance competition and formatting the site.
• Just then, Ashley walked into the room and sat on the couch. She was with her phone and didn't even say a word when she came in. Some minutes after she came in, I started having this weird feeling. The silence existing was quite awkward maybe that's the reason why.
• Even though she may be with her phone now, I still feel that she wants to have a conversation but she's kinda shy, so I might as well start up a conversation with her.
" Hi." I said and she jerked. Maybe because she was so intrigued with whatever she was doing on her phone.
" Hi." She simply replied.
" What are you doing? You've been on your laptop for so long." She said sometime after her first reply.
" Well, I run a Humanitarian NGO that takes specialty in empowering the youths. Our next initiative is to empower them with a dance competition called Dance2Fame." I said and she keenly listened.
" Wow, a wonderful innovative. I like that. But why would the son of Honorable Brown run an NGO. Don't get me wrong." She said and I chuckled.
" Well, I'm the heir to my dad's empire but while waiting for him to retire, I decided to extend a helping hand to the masses." I replied and she gave me a knowing look.
" Nice. So where's your mum?" She asked and I sat atop on the bed.
" Well, she and my two sisters travelled out for a Fecation." I said and she stared at me puzzled.
" Fe what?"
" Well I was also shocked when they told me the name."
" It's a yearly tradition in this house. All the females in our family go on a vacation so they came up with a dumb name Fecation. Hopefully, you'll be part of next year's Fecation." I said and she kept silent but smiled faintly.
" What? Did the paparazzi attend our wedding?" She yelled looking at her phone.
" Well, maybe. Why so shocked?"
" There's photos of us and our wedding all over the internet with caption:
❇Rich and Handsome son of Honourable Brown weds the not so known daughter of Multi-Billionaire, Mr. Hector. Is there more to this undercover wedding?❇
" She read out and I laughed.
" I could've sworn that I didn't see anyone with cameras, microphones or flashy lights at the wedding." She said again and I chuckled.
" Not all paparazzi are known. Kindly hi omeano on+233544142683 to be added to storyline, storybaze,fresh stories kingdom to enjoy reading more of these story. Some are undercover and are used in undercover events like our marriage." I said and she laughed.
• We didn't talk after that. At least I've broken the iceberg and the tension in the room has calmed down. And probably she's not as shy as she was earlier
" So you have a daughter..." She said some time later as she looked at some of the photos hung on the wall
" Yes her name is Mia, paragon of her mother." I replied and Ashley nodded.
" She isn't the nicest that I know." Ashley said and I laughed.
" Don't worry you'll get use to her and I someday she'll get use to you." I replied but I noticed she wasn't focused anymore, all her attention was put towards the entrance of the room.
"Well I hope someday is now because here she comes." She said and Mia strutted in.
" Oh you're with her..." She said as she rolled her eyes and looked at Ashley.
" Don't talk rudely to her Mia."
" Ugh! Dad don't tell me you forgot again! Today is our father and daughter night! You promised me a movie with first row tickets!" Mia said almost yelling.
• Father and Daughter night was today! I totally forgot! Like Mia is so gonna get so angry at me. I've missed four father and daughter days in a row and she isn't gonna forgive me if she hears I also forgot this one.
" I knew it...you forgot." She said in a sad tone after I didn't reply.
" Ever since mum left, you hardly have time for me." Mia said and ran out of the room crying.
" Mia wait!" I said standing up.
" Don't worry let me do it." Ashley said and went out of the room.

• Okay, if I want to stay here happily ever after, I need to make sure I'm on Mia's good book and have her on my side. And what better way to make her like me that being there in her uh..uhm sad moments.
• I went to her room because that's where she must've ran too. I gently opened her room's door and saw that she was lying on her bed sobbing.
" Go away!" She yelled as she heard the door open and sensed the presence of someone.
" It's me Mia" I said and came in.
" I know it's you. Just go away please." She said and I felt bad.
• Despite her wanting me to leave, I still feel she needs someone to talk to and probably vent her feelings out. I went to her bedside and sat beside her.
" What part of "go away please" don't you understand?" She said and sat atop of her bed.
" Look Mia, your dad didn't mean to forget your father and daughter day."
" Well maybe, but the thing is that dad always forgets everything regarding me ever since mum left. The other day he made me late to ballet practice and now he forgets the one day in a whole month where he has to leave his "work" and have fun me." Mia said and I can actually feel her pain. Somehow, I feel that I've also been rejected once.
" See, I think you should just forgive him. I promise you that he'll make it up to you."
" And what do you know? Who cares about what YOU think? Maybe now that he has married you he'll be so "busy" with you and he'll probably forget my birthday!" Mia said angrily and ran out of the room.
• That's it, I can't deal with this girl. I may be nice and all but when it comes to temper I'm not one you mess with. I'd better avoid her or else I'll go to prison cause of her. She's an annoying brat.
Just then...I heard some noise downstairs.
• I looked through the terrace and saw a lady in her late 50's and some young girls.
" They're probably Kaleb's mum and sisters." I thought and I went downstairs.
" Ah everyone is here now." Mr. Brown said as I came downstairs.
" Is she the new maid?" One of Kaleb's sisters asked.
" No Amelia, she can't be a maid. She has that rich girl glow on her face." His other sister said and Mia laughed.
" She's rich Aunt Amelia. She is Mr. Hector's daughter." Mia said with a sly smile.
" Oh, I never knew he had a daughter. Nice meeting you uh.." One of his sisters said extending her hand for a shake but she didn't know my name.
" Ashley." I told her and shook her extended hand.
" Oh good. My name is Sydney." She added and released my hand.
" I like her already." She said and I smiled.
" Well I don't. Something about her looks fake." Amelia said with crossed arms and I was shocked.
" I don't like her either and I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT SHE'S MARRIED TO MY SON!" His mum said.
" WHAT!?!"

" Mum!" Kaleb yelled immediately she vomited that demoting statement.
" Why would you get married without my permission son?" His mum asked him.
" Well you weren't in the country and I was hoping DAD would've told you about the marriage." Kaleb said with eye contact on his dad.
" No one should blame me for this. Whether or not you all like Ashley, she is Kaleb's wife Final and Period!" Mr. Brown said in a thundery tone with all authority and after that, looked at each of us then grunted and left the room.
• Immediately he left, everyone focussed their attention on me and looked at me with soul piercing stares. Thank God, Kaleb saw how tense the atmosphere was and quickly acted.
" C'mon Ashley, let's go inside." Kaleb said and took me by my hand then we went upstairs to our room.
" Sorry for holding your hand, just had to make it look real." Kaleb said as he shut our room door and I sat on the bed emotionless.
" It's no big deal." I managed to say despite the rain of tears my heart cried or how shattered I felt by those embarrassing comments made by Kaleb's mother and sister .
" Look, I don't like how my family discriminates you and hates this marriage. Both of us never opted to this marriage so they shouldn't make it worse for us." Kaleb said with fuming rage as he paced round the room.
" But why did you guys not inform your mum and sisters about the marriage? Because assuming they showed their hatred for me earlier, the marriage wouldn't have worked out and we'll be free from this mess." I said and Kaleb paused his pacing and looked at me.
" Well my dad told me he had informed my mum and sisters but now, it clearly shows that he lied." Kaleb said and expressed his burning anger by hitting his fist hard on the centre table and letting out a loud grunt then he resumed with his pacing.
" Hmm...sometimes I think your dad didn't get us married only for business and friendship with my dad."
" Huh?"

• So Ashley has finally gotten married to that jerk Kaleb huh? Now she's gone, gone for good. There's no use fighting anymore because water cannot be recovered after being spilled.
" I wish I had told her how I feel earlier." I thought and a drop of tear slid down my cheeks.
" Or probably If I had said I wanted her as my LOVER instead of saying I wanted her as my SISTER."
" No one could've even accepted her as my lover because she was ugly. But despite that, I saw beauty inside her."
" I would've just done the plastic surgery myself and make her beautiful to my taste then introduce her to my family."
• There's no use assuming now. What has been done, has been done. I can't turn back the hands of time. But I won't let the Brixlar family have the last laugh. I will make sure I HAVE Ashley no matter what it TAKES!

~Ashley's POV~

• Upstairs was so boring because Kaleb was just focused on hiis laptop organizing something on his website for the dance competition. I got tired of watching him do that so I decided to go to the living room and watch a movie.
• I went to the kitchen first and made a mug of coffee and took some crackers from the fridge. After that, I settled down in the living room with my snacks and switched on the TV.
• Even though I was paying attention to what I was watching, one thing still occupied my mind. This is my WEDDING NIGHT. You know what husband and wife do on their wedding night? Yeah...that's what is bugging me.
• It's a norm that everybody is too keep their virginity till their wedding night and save the pleasure of intercourse for that day as well. That means that fingering and mast*rbation shouldn't be done during one's unmarried years.
• So ideally, a person's first s*x is supposed to be on the wedding night. Where the husband disvirgins the wife and probably plants the seed of a child on that same night...that's why the marriage date is always fixed during the woman's "safe" period so she can take in during their first intercourse. And nine months later, everyone is expecting a baby shower
Oops! I've said to much
• Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I can't give my virginity to someone I don't love! Puh-lease, I ain't having s*x with Kaleb. Maybe one day when I fall in love with him or someone else then we can talk about first s*x. But for now, let's be prayerful and hopeful that Kaleb doesn't ask me for a trip to "Lala Land" tonight
If you get what I mean
" Excuse me, what are doing?" I heard someone ask and I was snapped out of my thoughts.
" Huh?" I said confused and turned back to see it was Amelia.
" I don't like repeating myself." She said and came right in front of me.
" I was just watching TV." I replied and she snatched the remote from me and switched off TV.
" Hey! Why'd you do that? It was just getting to the interesting part." I said and she rolled her eyes.
" Look, I heard you're rich so why don't you go to your father's house and watch TV there huh?" Amelia said with a fake smile plastered on her face.
" We don't want you here. Read the handwriting on the wall and leave!" Amelia said and walked away leaving me speechless.
" Ashley, you better get ready for war in the Brixlar Mansion!" My subconsciousness said and I sighed sadly.
• Well since my movie has been ruined, I'd better go back upstairs and continue watching Kaleb do boring stuff. I picked up my half-drunk mug of coffee and the remaining crackers and strolled upstairs.
• I met Kaleb sitting on the couch with his head buried in his palms and it seemed like he was deep in thought. I dropped my snacks on the table and sat beside him to inquire what's wrong.
" What's bothering you?" I asked him and he removed his palms from his face and looked at me. He took a deep sigh before talking.
" Well...it's just...it's just...I don't...it's just that I don't like the way my family treated you back there." He said and I chuckled.
" Is that what is bothering you?"
" Yes. Marrying me is already tough for you and I don't want them making you uncomfortable." He said and I sighed.
" But sadly true, there's nothing you can do to change their approach towards me." I said but he didn't reply. After a while his face lit up, seems he has an idea.
" I have a plan." He said and I smiled.
I love plans
" If you can't beat them, join them right? Well, if both of us act like we're deeply in love they'll have no option than to like you." Kaleb said.
" You mean like PDA?" I asked and he nodded in affirmation.
" Yes! Only if you agree to it. So are you in or are you not?"
" Uh...uhm...
