Chapter two

"Sasha love, can you over to the house please?" Vanessa said sweetly in the phone and Sasha sighed, it's been nearly two weeks now since she left their home, her wedding date has been fixed, she is to be married coming Saturday. Well, it's not a problem to her only that her husband to be has never called her or even asked to meet with her.

"Sure mom" she replied and she could swear she felt her smile, calling the woman mom really makes her happy, maybe it's because she never had a daughter, she thought.

"I'm waiting for you darling" Vanessa replied and hung up the call.

Sasha sighed and stared at the document in her hand, she is getting married but not for once had she gone wedding shopping with her husband to be, she has never been asked to select anything on her own. They had this two big wedding planners taking care of everything, talk about getting married into a rich family. She has an estimation of four hundred guests being invited and she wondered what she will be doing with so much guests.

She dropped the document and stood up from her desk, she picked up her car keys and sighed, it's been nearly two years now since she started this branch of the company and she really wants to make her father proud and nothing will shoot them up to the top front like getting the Jack and Jones contract, although the business plan is to take place in a year's time but they were already looking for the right company to handle it and almost all the growing firms are after it, well including some company's that have never met the light even after being established years ago.

Is she marrying him because of this contract? Of course it has to be for it but she knows deeply within her that it's more than that, in fact the contract is hardly remembered when talking about marrying him. How many years has she fantasized about him? From the very first moment she set her eyes on him in the middle school when she was just thirteen, it had been like that to their high school and they have only been saperated because they had to go to different college.

She said goodbye to her secretary and a few others of her staff and walked outside the building, she stepped into her car and reversed from the lot before driving with one destination in mind, the Brown's. She still can't believe she is getting married into that family.

She passed the gate and drive into the country home, she pulled over in front of the mansion and a few servants greeted her, they all knew she is the new bride, the fiancé to the young master. Some of them often wondered why she agreed to marry such a cold man but they shook their head, they already know the answer, if given an opportunity, they will also marry him heartily, for who wouldn't want to marry into such family and not to talk of, he is also incredibly handsome.

She walked into the house to see Vanessa speaking to her son and her heart missed a beat, she never expected to meet him here. She swallowed and walked up to them and Vanessa smiled when she saw her "Darling, you are" she smiled.

Her fiancé looked at her then, their eyes met and his crystal blue one burned into hers, deriving a shiver from her. She cleared her throat and decided she must talk to him today whether he wants her to or not.

"Come sweetheart, I wanted you both to do something. There is this new wedding dress that arrived in one of Michael's boutique, I need you to try it on" Vanessa said with a smile.

Sasha looked at her startled, she didn't see that coming, she didn't know what to say and just nodded and the woman turned to her son "you hurry up now, so that you can go back to your meeting as you said." 

He nodded and walked out of the house, Sasha didn't know whether to follow him or not but just decided to, she smiled and mouthed goodbye to her soon to be mother in law who waved at her. She rushed outside to see him getting into his limousine and she increased her running pace, she got to the car breathing heavily, when was the last time she ran? She couldn't even remember.

She got into the car beside him and the chauffeur closed the door after her, the limousine backseat was filled with a strong sexy male cologne, she sat on her portion trying her best to keep to her self but she couldn't help stealing glance from him.

He was just sitting there, his eyes were closed and his head rested on his seat, his hands were resting on his thigh, he appeared peaceful and she wondered if he wanted to stay like that till they get to his boutique? No small talks? She mean there are getting married in the next eight days for Christ sake!

Well, no need waiting for him to start, she can always initiate the conversation, she licked her lips and turned to look at him with a determined face "hi Michael" the name felt so sour in her mouth, she had stopped herself from mentioning his name and hardly get in touch with anybody with the name. Two guys she had rejected their advances because their name was Michael.

The man sitting beside her didn't hear her or even if he did, he pretended like he didn't, his eyes were still closed and she swallowed, he couldn't possibly had fallen asleep right? She mean, it's not even up to three minutes he got into the car "how have you been?" She tried again.

Still nothing, she sighed and looked out the window, what could be his problem now? She turned to look at him again and frowned, not accepting to be snubbed like that, she reached out her hand to touch him and he showed the first visible reaction she could see, he flinched.
