18- Sean is not my fiancé

Ashley’s pov

For the first time, I saw the sincerity in this girl’s eyes. I was happy that forgetting our differences she took a stand for me.

She slapped her husband for me! For a maid!

“Thank you, Sarah,” Justin told her softly and she nodded trying to shift back the hair that was falling from my bun.

“Come on. Let’s get you to your room.” Justin told me and held my hand. Before leaving the room, I did not miss the threatening look he gave to my husband.

By now I was genuinely interested. In no way Justin was his elder brother.

Nah!

My husband was the only son. Then who was Justin to the family?

“Justin?” I called him while walking to the room, “Who are you?”

“What?” He chuckled, “I am Justin I guess.”

We stopped walking and he started tucking my hair behind my ear.

“No. Not that. I mean what is your relation to this family? Cousin? Assistant? Some relative?” I felt his body going tense.

“I… I am…” I was waiting for him to speak and for the first time, I found him hesitant about something.

Holding my hands, he looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes to sigh deeply, “This is proving to be more frustrating and more difficult than I could imagine.” He murmured more to himself, “Come on. Let’s go to your room first.”

I could not understand what he meant.

Once inside the room, I did not sit on the bed or mattress. I just kept looking at him questioningly.

“Y… You want coffee?” He asked me and then sauntered to the intercom device, “You could not finish your coffee there.

He was asking someone to bring me coffee and it warmed my heart. He was se*xy, funny intelligent. Yet he cared for me.

“Kitten. I need to talk to you. I need to tell you something. Can you promise to listen to me patiently?” He held my elbow and all I wanted to do was trace his strong jawline having one day’s old whiskers.
