Tall Dark And Handsome

(Warning- Mature Content) "It could have been anyone. Then why me?" Michael Clark took a pause before replying as his eyes met hers. "Because it had to be you." Ashley Parker had believed that the biggest twist her life took was when she went for an interview but got hired as a wife. Just how wrong she was! Michael Clark was the name that was infamous around the country. Being the future leader of the Clark Industries, he was widely known for his dedication towards his aims. Everyone had believed that whoever will marry him would either belong to some royal family or equally prestigious one. However, it took everyone by surprise when he got married to an orphan. An orphan who did not meet the expectations of his stinking-rich family at all. The Clarks were no less than the royals. It was the family living as a joint, setting themselves as a big-happy family. In reality, it was messed-up, with troubled internal history. They did not get along with each other! And it was an understatement that they disliked Ashley. What was trusted to be a fairytale was nothing but a facade behind the closed doors. There was a deal hidden from all. Michael had a purpose to fulfill for which Ashley Parker would stay as his wife for three years and he will pay off her debts in return. After that they will part their ways. What Ashely could not understand throughout was why it had to be only her when she had nothing to offer him? "That day you said it had to be me. Why?" She tried again. "You do know that the curosity kills the cat, right?" "At least warn me if it will be harmful to me." His thumb halted on her skin. His eyes which were following his thumb all the while met her eyes again. She looked at him with something close to desperation. It was the desperation to have a slightest hint of what was needed of her. "A warning, right." Michael murmered. "Dangers will be upon you but I promise that not a single scratch you will get." Unbeknownst to her, she was the most useful to him. Her entire being. Her identity. Just her existence. No money in the world could buy her existence. What game was he even playing? Nothing materialistic. But something that no money in the world could buy. What Michael did not imagine was to get obsessed with his pretty wife. He never thought that his desires would take over him, making him go against himself to keep her as his. Only his. The flame of the revenge would die. The raged breaths would calm. The darkened period would get to see the new light just as long as she was alive. And then one day, incidents began occurring, secrets started unfolding and her heart began falling when she realized what purpose was that drove Michael to marry her.

"The water choked him, the cold seeping into his bones. His mind, usually so sharp, fractured into a thousand desperate thoughts.
