His mute Bride

Only child

No matter how much he tried, Alexandre just couldn't get the girl who bumped into him out of his head.she was everywhere.. In his office and in his room!!

Feeling very frustrated, he left the company and went back home.

His parents were waiting for him downstairs. He almost kicked himself, how could he have forgotten that they were still there?? He had always avoided then whenever they visited.

He quickly ran up the stairs pretending he had forgotten something in his room.

He locked the door and just then his phone rang.

It was Gerald.

He picked up the call quickly

"we found her boss!! he heard the enthusiastic voice.

"Really?? where is she?? he asked feeling confused, why couldn't he just control himself as always??

"Yes sir,she is the daughter of mr

Antoine matheo, the new Minister" Gerald answered quickly.

"Okay" he said unsure of what to do next.

"Shouldn't we like head right now to her house??? Gerald asked, he knew his boss quite well.

"I don't think that is a good idea" alexandre scratched his hair.

"It is sir, to talk to her.

Maybe that was a good idea after all.

"okay, I'll go but maybe another day. He said seriously.

"okay boss!!.

Gerald hung.

Just after he left the orphanage, Alexandre had asked Gerald to check all the CCTV cameras around to make sure he found her, and just half a day later she was found.

That night, though he already had insomnia, he felt worst, especially when he saw her anytime he closed his eyes.

Soon, it was morning.

He quickly dressed up and went to the company before his parents woke up.

The days moved quickly by, though he couldn't sleep night, Alexandre was still very energetic, he put on an all was ok look as he went about running his company even when someone was stealing his heart what knowing. Impulse told him to ask Gerald to send him her pictures or anything about her, but he knew he would be falling for her trap if he was to do that.

Just when he decided to go pay her a visit, an urgent matter came up, he and Gerald had to go to Greenland, for a one week business trip.

After a week in Greenland, Alexandre pretending to be calm,quickly board his private helicopter which took him back home.

"Sir when do we visit the young lady?? Gerald asked as soon as he walked into the Villa.

"This evening, before dinner,you should inform mr matheo" alexandre said absentmindedly.

"Okay boss" Gerald bowed slightly before going home.

As soon as the boss went to his room, Gerald made sure to inform Antoine that they were on their way to his house for an important meeting that evening.

Antoine was very happy to receiving such important guests. He made sure everything was in order, Ashley was asked to look her best which she always did, with thick make up.

The villa was filled with excitement. The hostess went about making sure all was in order.The best meals were prepared to be served for dinner that day.

During this time,, Ashley was the happiest.

She had a lovely smile plastered on her face. No one bothered about the girl who was working in the farm some miles away...

Soon, it was time for dinner, the small matheo family of three all looking elegant stood by the door anxiously waiting for their guests.

Though they didn't know what the famous Alexandre was coming to discuss with them, they felt it was going to be in their favor, but somehow they all believed he was coming to ask for Ashley's hand in marriage which was quite old fashioned, but anything Alexandre did in anyway was just right.

Some minutes later, they heard the sound of an approaching car.

Ashley made sure to look at herself in the mirror.. Two minutes later, two handsome men walked into the house as the butler opened the door.

With all smiles, Antoine said "you are welcome, Mr Jules.He brought out his hand one which Alexandre after thirty seconds of contemplating,it was only right that they shook hands together.

"This is my beautiful wife, Stephanie, and my daughter Ashley"Antoine introduced quickly.

Alexandre looked at Gerald who was all sweaty.

"surely sir, you must have another daughter" he asked looking around feeling very uneasy.

"No, Ashley is i and Antoine only child" Stephanie quickly answered.

Antoine looked at her, surely she must have a good reason for lying, he thought.

Alexandre looked around.

Ashley smiled at Alexandre waving her hands pretending to be shy.

With a disgusted face, Alexandre looked away quickly. Thank God she made no attempt to go touch him.

"please sir, let's have dinner, "Stephanie said meekly.Anthoine smiled at her thoughtfulness,he had married a good woman.
