A Love Trap

Ashley had known that Andrew owned a company. But she had thought that his company was at most, as big as the Luo or the Mu Groups.

She didn't want to create a situation for Andrew. After all, they were businessmen, and these companies would have some connection. Ashley didn't want to become the reason behind Andrew's business facing a tough time from his competitors. But it looked like all her concern seemed unnecessary. Andrew wasn't afraid of them at all. Instead, the Luo family looked terrified of Andrew.

Andrew's reaction caused Ashley's face to darken a little since she now knew that she'd been worrying unnecessarily all this while.

Ashley had heard about the Lu Group before. There were rumors about the CEO of the Lu Group too. However, never in her wildest dreams had it occurred to her that Andrew could be that person. She obviously knew that Andrew's last name was Lu, but she didn't think that Andrew was the CEO of the very Lu Group that was so powerful in the city.

"What's on your mind?" asked Andrew.

His low, sexy voice dragged her out of her reverie.

As Ashley turned to look at Andrew, she found that his handsome face was so close to hers that she could see her own reflection in his eyes.

"Nothing...nothing important," Ashley stammered, flustered, and quickly looked away.

She didn't really know how to face Andrew, now that she had all the extra knowledge. She had surmised that he might be rich and powerful, but just how rich and powerful, she hadn't known.

What surprised her the most was the fact that the random man she had picked on the street to get married to was from such a high-class family.

Andrew's eyes locked on Ashley, as if he understood what Ashley was thinking. He took Ashley into his arms and whispered, "No matter who I am or what position I hold, I am still your husband."

Andrew had a beautiful, sexy, manly voice. When he spoke like that, Ashley felt like she could melt in his arms and in the warmth of his voice. In that moment, he was like a god whispering words of love to the love of his life.

Ashley could feel his warm breath on her ear. It tickled and turned her ears red, causing her body to shiver.

Ashley's expression and the flush on her face stirred something within Andrew, his eyes flashing.

He narrowed his eyes fondly at her and held her even tighter.
