Between Two Hearts Chapter 1 Did I Ask You To Marry Me

" I'm sorry Miss but you can't go in there. Mr. Wilson is having a very important meeting" The maid called out as a silhouette walked past ignoring her completely with a straight face.

Layla Jones was very upset about the news she heard this morning. Her stepmom had told her she was getting married to Damian Wilson in a few days and although Layla did not have a boyfriend she was not ready to get married at nineteen.

Damian is the only son of her late dad's friend Mr. Wilson.

Layla has known Damian since she was a kid, Damian was older than her by six years and back then anytime Layla came around to play with Kendra, Damian's sister, He usually hides in his room because of his body. Most kids in his school back then do call him " fatty" Damian was a plus size back then and was always ashamed to associate with others but it all came to a halt when he traveled abroad to further his education.

Damian came back looking like a hot celebrity and his physical features were like that of a model.

She pushed the door and froze instantly, the courage and boldness she had summoned to confront Damian seem to have left her immediately her eyes met his gaze.

Damian who lost his father two weeks ago was having a very important meeting with the board members and his lawyer in his private sitting room at home.

He has not gotten over his father's death and was not ready to resume work either but this meeting seems to be a very important one thus he asked his board members to meet him at home.

" I told you, Miss, you can't come in" The maid walked up to her, and Layla's face was covered in sweat and her cheeks were changing from different shades of pink to red at the same time.

" Did I not tell you I do not want any form of disturbance?" Damian asked the maid angrily, ignoring Layla who looked like a lost puppy now.

His rich and sophisticated voice made Layla lose the little confidence she had left in her and she could only wish she never came here in the first place.

" I'm sorry Mr. Damian I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen" Grace the maid replied to Damian with her head bowed to the ground and she cursed Layla for not listening to her in the first place.

" Get her out of my sight this instance" Damian spat coldly ignoring Layla's presence.

" I'm very sorry for the rude interruption, can we continue, please" he added but this time referring to his board members.

Layla did not move an inch even when Grace the housemaid gestured for her to, she stood still staring at Damian with disgust, "Is this the reason he acted cold when he saw her on the day of his dad's funeral?" She asked herself in her mind.

" Miss, can you leave already please" Grace pleaded seeing that Layla was adamant to do so.

Damian who was trying to focus had lost all form of patience he had in him, He ignored Layla because he was not ready to deal with her yet but since she doesn't want to leave he was forced to speak to her.

" Are you deaf, did you not hear her ask you to leave?" He said, this time around he lifted his head and made eye contact with her and Confusion distorted her face instantly as she caught a proper vision of the man in front of her.

Damian was looking very handsome and even with his cold demeanor he still looked very cute.

He was no longer the timid chubby boy she knew while she was growing up. Damian had the physical features of a model and the aura emanating from him was intimidating.

" leave already Miss" Grace sounded rude this time around. She understood that Damian was very upset and did not want to lose her job because of Layla's' abrupt display.

The board members were already murmuring and anger flashed through Damian's face, if there is one thing he hates passionately is for his workers to have something to gossip about his personal life.

" Young lady, I advise you to leave already or I will be forced to... " I will not Marry you!!" Layla yelled cutting him short from completing his statement.

Damian was not expecting Layla to be this childish, if she was not comfortable with the marriage arrangement made by both parents then she could have waited for him to finish his meeting and who knows both of them would reach an agreement on the matter. But no, she chooses to be stupid and interrupt his meeting, announcing to the whole world that she will not marry him. "How childish"

" Young lady, this is a very important board meeting and we are running out of time. And don't you think it's very wrong of you to interrupt such with your problem?" one of the board members scolded Layla. He was greatly annoyed by her rude outburst.

Damian was furious but tried to play cool about the whole situation, he would rather die than give Layla the satisfaction that her words got to him. " And who asked you to Marry me?" he asked coldly with a wicked smile across his face.

Layla had never felt this intimidated all her life and she cursed herself for being stupid to have come here in the first place, what was she even thinking?

Trying not to look stupid she repeated what she said trying to sound confident,

" I will not marry you and don't think because you have the money you can force me to" Damian's glare turned piercing and even though she wasn't looking at him she could feel it.

Her legs wobbled as he asked her in a mocking tone, " Did I ask you to marry me?"

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."
