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 seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

One drunken text, a desperate cry for attention, accidentally reached the Alpha, pulling her into his terrifying orbit. Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment.

One night, in a drunken haze, a misdirected text meant for her best friend landed in Alpha Declan Blackwood's inbox: ""Send me something hot."" Minutes later, the most powerful, terrifying man in the Pack stood at her door, claiming her with a possessive kiss that ignited a dangerous, unwanted fire. The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah.

She became his ""placeholder"" wife, a contract, not a partner, all while battling a confusing attraction to the man who treated her as property. Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
