"So you mean to say that you got married and that also without telling me!! "

She got up from her seat ready to leave when Ashton grabbed her wrist.

"Oh come on Lorena I told you everything happened in a hurry.....I didn't intend to forget calling you!!"

"So what Ashton! You didn't even call me once in all these years!! And now also you only contacted me just because of business!
You can be such a heartless jerk!"

"Lori come on! I am sorry ! Please!"

"Fine but on one condition....you have to go on a dinner with me...I am here for the first time and I am in a desperate need of company"

He thought for a second before replying.
Wouldn't this be wrong on Elle's part?
They were on their honeymoon after all.

"Oh come on Ashton! We are meeting after so many years! Just for a few hours!"

He smiled and nodded as she jumped with happiness.

..................................................

Elle stood at the window sill staring at the moving cars below.

She was waiting for Ashton for the last 2 hours but there was no sign of him.

She desperately wanted to explore this new town.
It looked so lovely from up there.

Putting on her sneakers she finally decided to listen to her heart.

She was enjoying the street food and the busy streets.
Her eyes shifting from one stall to the other as she looked at the items with a child's excitement.

She wished to buy the entire market if only she could.

Walking out of the stall area she moved towards the elite streets with skyscrapers surrounded her.

Her eyes looking around in search of a good restaurant where she could find their special dish.

Her excitement level was way too much to stop at one shop.
Jumping from one shop to the other she only wanted to taste the best.

But all of her happiness came crashing down when her eyes stopped at him.

There he sat with his head leaned back in laughter and eyes shining with happiness.
Opposite him sat a beauty she had never seen before.
Her perfect smile illuminating the entire restaurant.

She could see people taking hidden glances at them.
Woman were gawking at him and men blinded by her beauty.

They looked perfectly compatible.

But for Elle, the view was like a spark to her earlier sorrows.
An answer to the reason for her loneliness and his preoccupations.

Without a thought, she had barged inside the restaurant to ruin their perfect get together.

As her angry steps stopped near them his eyes lost all their happiness.
Returning to his cold self he glared at her.

"I am sorry? Do we know you?"

Asked the beauty in her fluent accent.

Elle's accusing eyes moved from her husband's to his companion.

"You would not be sitting here and flirting with him if you fuc**** knew who I was!!

Her words surprised Lorena as she never came across a bold and disrespectful girl like her before.

Such a foul language was never used in the high society she grew up in.

Her answer made Ashton see red but he refused to react and made a joke out of himself in front of everyone.

His eyes glared at her to stop from saying anything further but Elle could just not control let anger.

"Excuse me! Can you please stop creating a scene here!! You can sit down and talk just please lower your voice. This is a public place!"

Lorena said politely even though the girl was anything but respectful.

Elle was fuming with anger oblivious of her surroundings.
Unaware of the eyes of other guests looking at her with irritation and dislike.

"I don't give a damn right now! Who are you to stop me!! I won't stop till I get my answers from him!"

Her angry eyes glaring at him as he stared at her with an underlying threat.

"Ash! Do you know her?"
Lorena asked politely placing her hand on his arm.

Ashton hated his wife sometimes and this being those times.
She doesn't know what to speak, where to speak, how to speak.
Her tongue moved faster than her mind and it was all filthy and vulgar.

His dear wife was cursing another woman in front of so many people.
Her etiquettes resembled that of a roadside thug and her attire was just not at all acceptable.

Lorena's beautiful eyes held so much peace and calmness in contrast to his wife's chaotic ones.

Devil's were dancing in those brown eyes as they were accusing him of so many things he didn't ever do.

"Tell me!! What are you doing here when you sh-"

Her words got lost as he suddenly stood up with anger evident in his eyes.
Before she could even complete her sentence his hand had grabbed on to her wrist a little too harshly.

"Excuse us for a minute"

He told Lorena as she sat there surprised as well as embarrassed at everyone's attention towards their table.

Pulling her along harshly his heavy steps led the way as she tried loosening his painful grip on her wrist.

On reaching the washroom he pushed her inside.

Luckily there was no one inside as he was ready to unleash his anger.
Her large brown eyes still stared at him with fury refusing to back down in fear.

"You can't scare me okay!! I am not afraid to speak the truth!! You go around whor**** and you expect me to sit at the hotel and die of boredom!! It was our honeymoon....and here you are sitting with other women and laughing!! You have made my life a joke!! I don't want to live with you!! You are such a .. such a backstabbing bas****....a fuck**** manwh***..-"

Her words were muffled as he pressed his palm on her mouth and pushed her to the wall behind.

"One more curse .....even one more Elle from that disgusting mouth of yours and I swear you will regret the day you married me!"

His angry orbs were like a certificate to his promise.
There was darkness in them which was forcing her to adhere to his threats.

Her breathing was getting heavy as his palm was tightly pressed on her mouth.

Her tiny fists were hitting his broad chest but they were nothing except useless struggles.

All her anger was getting directed towards his chests but still, he didn't even take a step back from her.
Instead, he moved forward challenging her to give her best.

She managed to bite his palm that was trapping her breath but he refused to show any pain.
His grip remained.

Frustrated from her inability to inflict pain on him she moved to bite his wrist continuously.

The marks of her teeth were decorating his wrist in a circle as he stood there accepting now her physical anger.

Tired, frustrated and defeated she moved back to look at those cold eyes.

"Are you done? "

Tears of frustration left her eyes as she refused to meet his gaze.
She was frustrated not only at him but at herself.
Her insecurities, her inabilities, her liabilities.

The women....she was soo beautiful and this burned her with envy.

He looked so happy with her and this burned her with her inability to make him happy.
The politeness and etiquettes in her voice fueled all her inabilities to make her look like a liability on him.

"If you are done....my driver is waiting outside...you will go back to the hotel with him"

"But....I... I want reasons...why you are here with her when this is our honeymoon?"

"You don't deserve an answer after the scene you created out there!! Just go back ...I will deal with you later!"

"I am your wife dammit!! I deserve an answer right now!!"

Her anger was again returning and he was hating it.

"I don't answer to anyone....not even you...think whatever you want to...I don't care!"

"But-"

"Just stop it already!! Don't force me, Elle!! I am being nice now!
Now like a good girl you will go back there and apologize to everyone.... especially my friend."

"Why should I apologize? I will not do such a thing!!"

He moved closer making her gulp down the saliva caught in her throat.

"I think you have forgotten who is in control here.... don't ever question me!!"

He screamed at her making her heart to stop for a second.
He looked different today.
This side of his was like a beast and for once she was really scared of what he could do.

Deciding to continue this fight later she accepted.
Provided she felt guilty of disturbing everyone out there.

He moved out with her at his lead.

As she returned everyone stared at her and started whispering amongst themselves.

"I ......I.....am sorry.....to disturb you all ....."
She said bowing down in apology.

Next, her eyes stop on the beauty that sat at the table and she started feeling anxious.
She was sorry for the words she spoke to her just because she was jealous of her.

"Lorena...sorry for earlier...meet my wife Elle Lockwood"

Listening to who she was Lorena's eyes widened in surprise.
She cursed herself for thinking that this girl was just another desperate slu* that wanted to hook up with Ashton.

Lorena was not like those who judged others by what they wore.
But still, she was surprised as to how a person like Ashton agreed to marry a girl like her.

Lorena's eyes looked at the girl to see if there was anything extraordinary.
But to her surprise she was simple.
Nothing special that could fit Ashton's choice.

"I...am...sorry...please forgive me"

Her fearless voice has now turned low as she refused to meet Lorena's eyes.
Something she guessed Ashton must have done.

Lorena just smiled back at her as she accepted her apology.

"You can go now....he is waiting outside"

Ashton said making her nod and leave in silence.

Lorena's eyes still fixed at the girls retreating back.

Taking in her attire and posture.

"I am really sorry ...she can be a bit jealous sometimes."

Lorena smiled back making him relax a bit.
His anger had now faded a bit seeing her smile.

Their talks continued as if nothing happened.
But he knew Lorena had already guessed the reason of his marriage to Elle.

She had guessed that there was no love involved and this was just a marriage of convenience.

Lorena has loved Ashton since highschool.
His coldness but sweetness.
The meanings behind his actions, the protectiveness every bit of it.
But Ashton never reciprocated.

He has made it clear to her the first year they dated.

"Don't fall in love with me..I don't want to lose my friend because of love Lori."

She knew he got married.
But she didn't show it.
She had stalker his life for the last 7 years and she knew everything about him.

Except for one thing.

The reason for his marriage.

Elle was nowhere near his liking.
He loved blond's she has black hair.
He loved blue eyes she has dull brown.
He wanted perfection in everything and even her stockings were not matching.

Elle Hamilton was everything he didn't want in his wife then why her?

Without a doubt, he didn't love her and instead he was embarrassed by her.
She could see the hesitation in his voice when he introduced her as his wife.

He was a man of depth which was beyond anyone's understands.
Patience and calmness like his were not very common in this world.

She wanted to understand his reasons but just couldn't.
If he was not happy with her she wanted him to leave her and be happy.

She was always there for him no matter what as he always protected her and stood for her.

Lorena was determined to find his reasons and release him of his worries.

She wanted him to choose someone he adored and not just someone he was forced with.
After all, she knew Ashton deserved the very best in everything.

No matter it is his business or his wife.

And she will make sure he gets it.
