We met by chance,
But we were forced to be together by fate...
Janette was encountering something like this for the first time she was grateful to her sister in law for the dress, every man in the room was looking at her as if she's on sale, she never appreciated abundant contemplation and was anxious.
"Meet my daughter Mr Norman", her father brought her out of her thoughts beside him was standing a man in navy blue suit the most handsome man she had ever laid her eyes on,the time seems to stop for her,she's lost into his gorgeous blue eyes, he was staring straight into her eyes and she mimicking him there was something different by the way he was staring at her from others his almost dark personality was mesmerizing her, his manly scent was fascinating her.
But that strange emotion changed into same cold ones as that of others in the room.
"She's more beautiful in real than in pictures", he said in his sexy voice,for seconds she felt herself shiver, after hearing his beautiful voice, but that feeling was shortlived when she realised what he said.
"Wait he knows me?"
But it is the first time that I have a meet him and how come he got my pictures? These questions was going on in her head. She glanced at Robert Stark for answers but he simply nodded , and stood tall that was expected from him.
" What does this old man is up to?" she wondered.
First he snatched her parents away and now showing her pictures to strangers, how much more drama awaits in her life.
She was zoned out until she discovered that handsome specimen taking her right hand and leaving a kiss on her knuckles sending shivers all over her. She felt weird electricity on that mere touch, it wasn't even defined as a touch. Her eyes widened remembering something she read years back .
"When you are going to make contact with your soulmate for the first time, you will going to fell slight electricity on your skin that will be glimmer by him." That time she ignored it and now too she's going to do the same, maybe she'd have rubbed her hand somewhere gaining charge opposite to that of the man standing in front of her.
"Nice to meet you Ms Stark", he let out in his husky voice, he appeared to be a powerful businessman because, he was surrounded by five bodyguards in a black suit, with bluetooth on their ears, standing at a safe distance from each other and only the well-known people were making an attempt to talk to him moreover, no waiter was offering him drinks but head staff.
"I'll leave you two alone, Mr Norman take care of my daughter, I've to entertain my other guests too", Stark mumbled and left her alone with the handsome outsider.
"Great! he left his daughter with a stranger." Janette resisted herself not to roll her eyes at Stark, she smiled as she saw Mr Norman looking at her, that man was checking her out, his eyes landed on her chest and she felt weird because this dress was a v-shaped one giving a wide view of her breasts, she crossed her hands over, her chest to cover it and spoke.
"Well my name is not Ms Stark it's Janette or Jane", she found herself making correction in her new name because she's not used to be summoned as Ms Stark and the name sounds alien to her ears. He lifted his eyes on peeked directly into her green ones, his ocean blue eyes were gorgeous.
"You know Ms Star_
"Not again Mr Norman." She cut him off.
"Okay Jane, I'm not used to remembering names know people by their family names but seeing your glamorous red hair, I speculate that I can memorize your name."
"But only on one circumstance that you've to call me Asher", he added and she glimmered and realised he's Asher Norman her friend Anastasia's crush.
On the other hand, her smile did weird things to Asher he haven't seen such an elegant smile apart from his mother's recalling his mother made his blood smouldered he's not here to cherish his enemy's daughter smile he's here to get his vindication.Janette stiffened seeing a sudden change in his emotions, Staying away from wealthy, guys is far better than handling their mood swings she thought.
"I instantly hate this man!" She thought to herself and fake a smile in his direction.
There is already so much drama lingering in her life she doesn't need more.
"Well delightful to meet to Asher",she decided to distance herself from him,it felt weird to share same air as him and feel his dominant aura.
Meanwhile Asher was trying to process the way his name rolled out of her tongue he felt the need to listen to it for a thousand moments but she wasn't the right soul.
"I can say the same", he whispered , while keeping his hands in his pocket and looking up ,his lips pressed into a thin line.
When she felt that now she's not needed to entertain him anymore, she left him standing unattended in the centre of the hall to the corner she hated vigilance .
But the stranger can't seem to lift his eyes off her she was feeling uncomfortable with his stares, she decided to get some fresh air, however, halted hearing Mr Starks's voice " My friends you all must have been curious that what was the motive of surprising gathering that I invited you all."
"Well I'd like you to introduce you all my daughter Janette Stark and her fiancee my soon to be son in law Mr Asher Norman." she was dumbfounded hearing that, "What the Fuck?"
"Do I hear right?"
"The handsome specimen, I just meet is my fiancee, my future husband!" she gritted her teeth. This man took her happiness away from her just to get her married to a billionaire who can marry anyone he wished too but why she?
Marriage was last on her list first, she wanted to make a career for herself.
"Come on my daughter and Mr Norman", Stark announced first she decided not to obey but her brother Tom's face came in front of her eyes she didn't want him to suffer because of her stubbornness, she hasn't felt so much helpless all her life.
"Go Jane!", Erie brought her out of her misery but her legs turned into a statue,
the stranger who's now her soon to be future husband intervened his hands with hers and literally force her too the stage where the devil of a father Robert Stark was; everyone was cheering for them but she's glaring at Stark.
"He's so much to explain!"
