A Love Trap

Since Andrew didn't mention what time he was going to pick her up tomorrow, Ashley decided that it was best to pack her things that night.

Assuming that she would come back here often, she only chose a few items of clothing and toiletries to pack. Once she had finished packing, she had a nice warm bath and put her pajamas on.

As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, her phone rang.

It was none other than, Andrew, the man she married today. Even the sight of his name on her cell phone screen made her heart do little flips.

'Why is he calling me at this hour? Does he have something important to tell me?' she wondered.

Ashley went into her room to answer the call. "Hello?"

There was a soft tone in her voice that she wasn't even aware of.

Andrew was calling her from his villa. He was sitting leisurely by the French windows with a goblet filled with wine in his hand. On the desk beside him was an expensive bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild.

He swirled the wine in the goblet slowly. The saffron light shining from the lamp made his hand look fairer and svelte. His fair skin was in stark contrast with the color of the blood-red wine.

Andrew's facial features were hidden in the shadow of the darkened room, however, the finely chiseled outline of his face could be seen clearly and his deep dark mysterious eyes glistened in the dim light.

Although his handsome face was cold and hard, many girls seemed to be fascinated by it.

His face softened when he heard Ashley's voice on the line.

"Are you ready to move in with me?" he asked in his low husky voice.

Ashley felt weak at the knees and her heart melted when she heard his enchanting voice murmuring seductively in her ear.
