After the wedding ceremony came to an end, Elizabeth and Aaron sat in a black Ferrari car, they were on their way to the Winchester mansion. It was two weeks ago when Aaron made his appearance in Carter's company out of the blue. The security guards couldn't dare to stop a man like him. As he walked into the company with his assistant who followed his lead, The employees caught the sight of the aloof man and couldn't believe that a big shot like him visited their company. He wore a black suit, his thick black hair was neatly combed. He had a kind of charm that would make people pause and have a look at him for more than twice. The cold look on his face had a certain evil kind of demeanor and a consciousness of his dignity as a ruler.
The company lost its market shares and was almost in a stage to shut it down. After Aaron went to the president's cabin, people enquired among themselves as to know why the king of the business world and the sole reason for the company to lose its market share turned up when the company was at stake. Was he here to take hold of the company as he did to other small companies? or was he here to shut it down permanently? But they didn't understand what would he gain coming here, little did they know that the cunning man had his calculations and tactics before stepping into this company. Elizabeth noticed the commotion caused by Aaron's appearance but she was not aware of his presence until she overheard the employee's conversation. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard his name. She immediately rushed to the president's cabin and peeked through the door that was opened a little. All she heard was one sentence, " Marriage is the only option I give you ."
She couldn't believe what she just heard. Why would that man talk about marriage and who was he referring? she had no idea about what deal they were talking about and whose marriage they were talking about. All she knew was that a man like him would get his things done once he sets his eyes off on something.
"I'll talk to Elizabeth about this and let you know," replied John after thinking for a while. Listening to her name, Elizabeth's heart dropped a beat.
"Why don't you ask her right at this moment?" she heard him say and the very next moment the door was opened and he stood right in front of her. Her heart pounded faster as the clock ticked every second. She didn't know that she was to tears until a drop rolled down her cheek which she immediately wiped looking away from him.
"Hello Ms. Carter, it's good to see you getting caught red-handed while eavesdropping our conversation," he smirked.
"Elizabeth," John took her name and then looked at the man who opened the door.
With his hands in either side of the pockets, Aaron looked at John and at Elizabeth who was tight-lipped. Both of them didn't know how to react to this sudden proposal.
"You _want _ to marry me?" she asked him in broken words after gathering up her courage to face him.
"I'm left with no other choice," Aaron shrugged.
"But we fixed her marriage with someone else, "John interrupted.
Elizabeth who knew nothing about her marriage is fixed with someone was stunned.
" Looks like you weren't aware of your marriage with the CEO's son of the Winscet groups Ms. Carter. Isn't that man your best friend? "he questioned her to which Elizabeth glared at him. Aaron knew each and everything about Elizabeth, he was the kind of man who could gather information from any corner of the world and getting Elizabeth's information was like a Piece of cake to him.
" Marry me, Ms. Carter. It'll benefit your company," he advised her.
"And what benefits would you get if you marry me," Elizabeth questioned him.
"Hmm. The young lady of the Carter's is not as dumb as I thought she would be," he chuckled, "that's not for you to know," Aaron answered with a devilish smile.
"Mr.Winchester, give us some time we will let you know after we decide," John said politely to which Aaron nodded and noticed that he was being stared by Elizabeth.
"This marriage is not between two people but between two companies, Choose wisely. One wrong step might make your family fall into debts," he said to John and then he looked at Elizabeth who was looking at him. Her petite eyes couldn't hide that his words pricked her heart once again.
