It had been a 2 days since Mr. Matt came back from the India with the marriage proposal & he had successfully managed to get the marriage to happen. Jason was told about the news. He was more than happy & joyed. Everyone in the Demoure's were happy about the marriage except Sasha. Sasha was furious & hated Ashley. Ashley was not told yet as her parents wanted to give her a surprise for her upcoming birthday. There would be an engagement & then the marriage after a month.
Jason was immediately let out of the rehabilitation center upon his fathers arrival the next day back from India as he was clean & had a good health after the spot check was done.
Mr. Matt had promised that he would handle everything, including the engagement as he was happy with the in-laws as they were not money greedy & he thought his son had found a good bride as well. Mr. Matt called his wife's best friend Elizabeth to have all the arrangements done in India itself. Mr. Matt wanted one engagement & two marriages. One engagement officially & a marriage in India, & another one more in New York for the Demoure's family, friends & company staff.
Everyone packed & went for the engagement except for Sasha as she just didn't wanted to attend her brothers wedding in India. Sasha stayed at her cousins house as she wanted to get away from anything & everything that had to do with Ashley. Jason was unhappy about his sister's behavior but he knew he couldn't do anything as she was a stubborn one. Sasha gave her brother her blessings before she board the plane with their parents. Mr. Matt had kept in contact always with his in-laws to make sure they were comfortable as he wanted them to be. Mr. Matt told Kevin Charles that the Demoures (except for Sasha) would be in Chennai for the engagement & also everything was being handled.
The Demoure's were in Chennai 2 days before the engagement to do some shopping & Jason wanted to surprise Ashley with the best jewels that money could buy. The Demoure's stayed in Hyatt hotel in the Presidential Suit. Mr. Matt had rented a huge wedding hall which was one of the best in Chennai for the wedding. The hall was beautiful, fully air-conditioned & up to standard. The engagement though would be in Ashley's house as it was a huge house that can house more than 200 people.
Engagement Day
The Charles family had woken up early. The entire family & relatives had come early the previous day itself for Ashley. Ashley was the first in the family to get married so it was a huge event for everyone. Ashley had gone through the Hindu rituals as her father preferred it that way. She had bathed in special water made from herbs & flowers, then Ashley had to bath again & then prayers were done & then it came to wearing the saree & make up.
The Demoure's also woke up early. The had their bath then reached Charles family house by 9am.
Mr. Matt Demoure thought that it would be nice if Jason & Ashley spoke for 5 minutes before the engagement just to be comfortable & not awkward. Kevin Charles thought it too would be a good idea.
Everyone was busy with their work for the engagement. The hired cooks were busy preparing breakfast & then they had to make lunch as well. The house was full of people & everyone was busy doing their thing.
Ashley was busy in the ladies room getting ready for the engagement. It was then that Ashley's father had come in & spoke to her before he sent everyone out of the room:-
Father: You look beautiful
Ashley: Papa, you're here. Thank you papa.
Father: I need to tell you something. (Sounding serious).
Ashley: What it is papa?
Father: I want you to meet & talk to the groom, he will come in the room after I leave.
Ashley: Papa, I trust you. I already told you my likes & dislikes in groom searching, why & what now?
Father: Please ma.
Ashley: (Giggling) Why so serious for papa? Fine I will meet him. Send him in papa.
Ashley's father went smiled them went out. Ashley went to sit at the side of the bed waiting for her future husband to appear in the room. Ashley face was facing the floor. Then suddenly 2 white feet appeared in front of her, then he spoke:-
Jason: Hello Ashley dear.
Ashley recognized that voice & her head immediately went up to see the face of her future husband. Her hands held the bed post tight as she was so shocked to see Jason's face.
Ashley: What are you doing here? Where is the groom?
Jason: You're looking at him.
Ashley was so shocked but she remained calm as she knew there was nothing that could be done because she knew her father wouldn't play jokes not on the groom or anything her especially. Ashley had no choice but to agree to this marriage as she had kept a promise to her father & didn't want to disappoint her family, especially not her parents.
Jason came near Ashley's bed & grabbed her by the hip & put her on her feet then kissed her. Ashley kissed him back without putting on a fight for the first time.
Jason: You kissed me back.
Ashley: Do I have a choice? You will hit me if I don't so why bother putting up a fight.
Jason went to touch Ashley's face & then kissed her then Jason whispered to her:
Jason: I am very-very sorry for my behavior. I was scared, upset, angry & didn't want to lose you. Will you give us a chance?
Jason then went down on his knees & pulled out a beautiful pair of diamond earrings & the most beautiful diamond ring which was 3.5 carats. Ashley looked away from Jason & Jason got up & kissed her intensely in the lips & in a passionate manner like making love to her without taking the clothes off. Ashley then looked into Jason's beautiful bright blueish green eyes mix. Ashley then spoke:-
Ashley: Stop kissing me, you're ruining my lipstick.
Jason: I will fuck you soon & make you pregnant soon.
Ashley: Stop it, not now. Let us get married first. Then you can talk dirty to me.
Jason: Someone's finally opening up.
Ashley: Do I have a choice? Will you let me go? You've come this far to become my fiancee & husband, you're not gonna let me go so why should I fight anymore. I lost & you won.
Jason: Now you know me.
Jason then put the ring on Ashley's finger. Then the earrings as well. Jason walked out of the room with Ashley. They both did look like a beautiful couple. He was hot & handsome while she looked classy, elegant in saree. The engagement happened.
(Fast forward one month)
The marriage in Chennai & New York happened. Ashley said goodbye to her family & in-laws as she was heading to her honeymoon in Maldives & then to Bora-Bora Island. Ashley had tried to postpone her first night with Jason in Chennai as she wanted to rest as the next day she was to fly to her wedding in New York then straight head to the church to marry. At the New York wedding Sasha congratulated Ashley on her marriage to her brother. Sasha didn't attend the wedding in Chennai, India.
Ashley knew Jason was not happy about postponing the first night but Jason knew he had to make it up to Ashley for her his previous behavior.
