The Untamed Wife

Chapter 1

I'm Tatiana Aleshia. The only child of Gabriel and Ashiana Aleshia. I always get what I want, maybe that's the perk of being an only child. This is also the reason why they were extremely protective of me. Come on people, I just want to have fun! And when I say fun, it means shopping, bar hopping and movie nights with friends.

I have a lot of friends. I don't know why they stick with me but they are always there whenever I go shopping. Deep inside I know why, but I refuse to believe my guts. They use me for money, I use their company. It's not that unfair. 

"Where are we going tonight?" Brenda, my friend, asked. 

"I'll probably stay in tonight" I boredly replied. Well, that was a lie. My father actually asked me to go on a business dinner. Though I like sneaking out, I want to be a good daughter tonight so I'll follow his commands.

"Oh come on! The Monteverdes just arrived here and they are holding a welcoming party tonight! I heard their children just got back here in the country, it's going to be great" Brenda convinced me once more. 

Monteverdes. I know that family. The family that owns a bunch of big buildings here in this city and also around the world. Since my parents are in the same business, I am aware of the big families around our circle. My father used to bring me to his business parties which I found really boring. I also heard that the family had two sons and a daughter. I don't know much about them though.

"I don't know them and I'm not in the mood today" I still said.

"Are you sure? I'm pretty certain that a lot of businessmen will be there, your father might come too" she informed and now she got my interest.

"Where is that party?" 

"Skycastle. Only the exclusives are invited" she winked. 

That's the same dinner that my father wanted me to attend. "I guess we'll see each other then" I replied while picking my things up. Our driver is picking me up today, I don't know why my mother is extremely pushy on this dinner. She even wants me to wear a nice red gown. Seriously, for a dinner?

Before I head out, a guy walked up to me. He was tall and nice looking. He looks young though, not my type.

"H-hey, can I get your number?" he shyly asked while scratching his nape. 

"You can ask the girl over there" I replied while pointing at Brenda. I'm hurrying tonight so this cute boy has to go. I didn't wait for his reply and I went straight to the van.

"Where are we going?" I asked our driver as soon as I entered the car. He then replied that we'll have to visit the boutique that my mom has been obsessing about ever since I was little. It offers a lot of elegant fits, it's extremely expensive but since my mother wants it, then I'll go with it.

"Hey darling!" my mom's personal stylist welcomed me outside the boutique. Angie is a very nice girl. She follows what style I want even though my mother disagrees. She ends up agreeing with Angie at the end though, she trusts this girl so much.

"Hey! My mom told me to try on the clothes for tonight" I smiled as we entered the shop. It surely looked expensive, everyone looks sophisticated and the chandeliers and lights perfectly complimented the fancy shop. I want to own one of these someday.

She gave me three dresses to choose from. I told Angie that I don't want any eye-catching gowns like my mother said and she told me that she'll show me dresses instead. It's a formal welcoming party, so I guess it'll be fine to wear these high slit dresses.

In the end, I chose the black one. It's a black mermaid dress with a slit on the thigh part. It was elegant and simple. I like it. My mom doesn't really care if I wear a revealing dress. Anyways, it's my body, I'll wear what I want to wear. Besides, I'm 18!

I finished at the boutique at around 6pm, the dinner will be held an hour from now and I have to hurry so I could get my hair and make up fixed. "Mom how's the dress?" I asked when I saw her enter the house, she was talking to someone on the phone so she just gave me a thumbs up and she went on her way. It's always like this, we never had a proper dinner too because of their work. They would always reason out that this was for me. All I need was their presence though.

The Skycastle is a fancy bar, it was known by all the elites in this country. It has been the event place of a bunch of business dinners that my dad has attended to. I've been here a lot ever since I was little. We arrived at exactly 7 pm. Thankfully my hair was finished early since they don't have to do anything on my naturally wavy hair. The party started with the father of Monteverdes, Emilio. He was thanking everyone for attending the party. 

"See his sons? Do you like any of them?" my mom suddenly asked while looking at the men in the front. I followed her gaze and saw what she was talking about. 

I replied with a shrug, "I don't know any of them"

"This is Ashton Greg Monteverde, my eldest." he introduced his first son. I even heard the girls my age at the back gasp when he saw the guy. Well, he's hot.

"And this is Asher Troy Monteverde, my second child" then again, I heard the girls from the back. Seriously, are they thirsty for guys? The father continued to introduce his youngest daughter but my eyes drifted to Ashton.

I mean, Ashton looks good. His blue eyes screams that he's mixed. His jaw was as sharp as a knife. Compared to the other child, this guy looked more friendly. 

And when I turned to look at the second one, my chest doesn't feel good. His brooding eyes and serious face screams authority in many different ways. His eyes are also blue like Ashton's but his eyes had more effect in me. I don't like this feeling. I don't like him already.
