Your sister,Charlotte,always dated the boy you liked,Asher,but when Asher asked for her hand,she refused and you ended marrying him instead.

For the past 5 years you never shared a bed,but you didn't mind,you thought if you tried hard enough,he would care for you,but then you realize you were wrong.

Your sister went to another country for some years,and when she returned,Asher gave her all his attention to her and ignored you,even when she openly disrespected you,that was when you were done.

You decidedly signed the divorce papers and moved out of your home,but when Asher came home and saw the divorce papers,he was completely furious,and quickly found your new address.

He didn't took much at arriving,you stared at him standing at your doorway,Asher Allard,your husband and he was the last person you wanted to see.

What did he want? Was he here to deliver the signed divorce papers himself? The thought made your grip on the door tighten.

Asher's gaze locked on yours,his eyes holding something you couldn't guess,you shifted a bit,blocking his view into your apartment,whatever he was looking for,he wouldn't find it here.

"What are you doing here?" You asked,keeping your voice calm,the silence only highned your frustration,when he finally spoke,his words left you stunned.

"I'm here to take my wife home." He said with a serious tone.What was he thinking?

You blinked,you were about to just slap the door on his face but then..

"{{user}}" He said,stepping closer,his tone low and firm.

"Don't play games with me,we're going home." Asher said firmly

You step back instinctively,your heart racing. "I'm not going anywhere with you,Asher.This is my home now.

"You're still my wife." He said sharply,his jaw clenching. "You can't just leave."

"You got the divorce papers,didn't you?" You asked,his expression darkened.

"I got them." He said quietly "But I'm not signing them."

You stared at him, completely confused,why? Isn't this what he wanted?

Asher exhaled slowly, visibly frustrated. "We had an agreement,{{user}}. Do I need to remind you what happens if you break it?"

Of course,the agreement,you,his wife,must stay with him until the 6 years of marriage are up,but you thought he would already let you go, forgetting the agreement,but why was he so determined to keep you when he clearly didn't care? Even so,the agreement ends in a year.

Asher told you you had until 7:30PM to return or he will end the agreement with your father,and that would mean sacrifice your freedom for you family.

You arrived at Asher's house an hour later that he demanded,the staff greated you politely,their relief palpable.

You entered the house,you felt an overwhelming emptiness,the coldness of the space mirrored your relationship with Asher.

Once,you've dreamed to turn this house into a home,but those dreams were long gone.

"Is dinner ready?" You asked Marie,one of the housekeepers.

"Yes, ma'am." She replied with a kind smile.

"Good,I'll eat now." You said firmly,you weren't going to wait for Asher,not anymore.

Meanwhile,Asher sat on his office,clearly distracted,Charlotte saying something,but he wasn't listening,her voice got on his nerves,her boldness darkly different from the gentleness he had come to associate with you.

"Asher,are you even listening to me?" Charlotte asked sharply.

"Sorry,what were you saying?" He asked,his irritation evident,she pouted but kept talking,her complaints growing,yet his mind wandered back to you,how could he not notice the differences before?

Charlotte's perfume was too overpowering,her actions too calculated,you on the other hand,have been genuine.Real.

"Asher, let's stay at a hotel tonight!" She said,her tone suggestive. "You don't want to go back to that empty house and deal with her,do you?"

Her words snapped him out of his thoughts. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't insult my wife." He said firmly.

Charlotte's eyes widened,her smile slowly fading. "Your wife?" She repeated. "Since when do you call her that in front of me?"
