My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 33

I smiled. "T-Thank y-"

He took my face in his hands that stopped me dead in my tracks. He leaned down and came close, even more close. Is he gonna... no!

He stopped next to my lips.

"May I?" He asked me.

"I-I... I..." I stuttered. I couldn't find a reason to deny it, but a yes wasn't a good answer.

He went back. "It's okay"

I looked at him and smiled. He is good, he is not like others. 

"Alright, come with me" 

I nodded and followed him.

Vincent

She is the rare beauty I have always known. I was gonna kiss her but I thought of asking her, although I knew she wouldn't be ready. But I feel something for her. But I don't wanna fall in love, it is nothing but a  weakness. 

I took her to the living hall. She was looking so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off her.

"Vincent..." she said. God, she will be the death of me. The way she calls my name makes ME blush.

"Hm?" 

"If I can't meet Lara, can I please talk to her? The phone you gave me didn't have a sim... and she doesn't use any social media"

I stopped my thoughts and my steps. She stopped as she noticed me. How can she still expect me to let her talk to Lara? Does she want me to behave with her badly? Why is she like this? Is she this stupid?

"Stop it" I gave her a clear warning. "Last warning, Ashy, you will not even talk about her"

She looked hurt. "Please, Vincent..."

I sighed in frustration. "Go to your room. Now!" I almost yelled.

I didn't wanna hurt her or be rude to her anymore. But I saw a tear in her eyes. Did I even say anything? Why is she so fragile? I didn't even do anything. I just replied to something so stupid, so kindly.

She started sobbing and then ran to her room. I didn't follow her even when I wanted to because she is something out of my understanding. If she is so hurt when I didn't even say anything, I will maintain my distance from her. That is the only way I can maintain this wedding.

Ashley

I closed the door of my room and started crying. I can't believe he yelled at me. I mean, I thought he was good and everything. But he was so rude. He was not like this till yesterday. He has definitely changed like they do in novels.

"Alright"

"Sir, do we need to lock off her phone or something..."

"No. Um, I'll do the rest. You may continue other stuff"

"Alright boss"

I kept down my phone. Why Ashley? I told you that I am only good to people who are good to me. I told you, you need to follow my rules. I told you everything and I told you that you can't contact Lara no matter what happens. And you did.

I have many ways to punish you, but... I don't know what I should do. 

I thought for some time and finally decided to let her know that she is caught, and well, is in possible trouble. Today is our wedding and she literally... huh.

I messaged her. "Your first mistake"

She saw it and then didn't reply. She might have been shocked... and maybe scared. I decided to confront her.

I went upstairs and knocked on her door. I don't usually knock, so she should open it.

She didn't open and I knocked again.

This time I went straight in and she was on the bed. She was clutching the bedsheets to herself and was dead scared.
