A Love Trap

"Give it to me!" Duncan said to Haley coldly, looking into his eyes.

Duncan was no longer the same innocent young man he used to be five years ago. Steeled and tempered by time, he looked more mature and quite charming.

"Duncan! You know there are plenty of other beautiful girls in the world, right? Besides, Ashley is already a mother of a few children and is now pregnant!" Haley reasoned with him and urged him to undo his regressive attitude. But, realizing that Duncan's face was getting more and more grave, Haley couldn't help lowering his voice.

Haley comprehended that Duncan had become more shrewd and sophisticated than before.

"Well, enjoy your drinking binge. Let me see how much you can drink!" Haley had no choice but to return the wine bottle to Duncan.

Duncan took the wine and straight away began to gulp it down. He seemed to be trying to escape from his sorrow with the help of alcohol.

Looking at the well decorated wedding venue, it was too painful for him to even utter a word.

Duncan was reluctant to attend the function in the first place. Not every man could bear to see his beloved woman throw herself into another man's arms.

But...

In the end, he couldn't help but come.

He missed her so much and he wanted to see her in person.

In fact, Duncan hadn't seen Ashley since they parted in M country.

At that moment, Haley couldn't help but shake his head in desperation when he saw Duncan's grave and a pained expression.

However, what the two didn't know was that at that time, a beautiful well-dressed woman, who was standing quietly in a corner, was watching Duncan.

The woman's beautiful eyes were also filled with pain, and her hands tightly grabbed the wall beside her.

Why didn't Duncan look back at her?

Meanwhile, Ashley was surrounded by Ellie and other bridesmaids. The wedding ceremony was about to start, but Ashley hadn't seen Andrew.

"Where is Andrew?" Ashley couldn't help asking.

"Hey, you both have just been separated for only a few minutes only. Can't you stop asking about his whereabouts?"

Someone teased.

Ashley's face turned red. In truth, she was a little flustered that day.

"Don't worry. He will be here soon!" Ellie comforted her.

"Ash, keep calm! Everything is fine." Suddenly, Martin came up to Ashley and patted her hand.

Looking at Ashley, Martin had an illusion that he was the bridegroom and Belinda was the bride that day, because Ashley looked a lot like Belinda.

"Ehmm," Ashley smiled at Martin.

She held Martin's hand tightly.

She knew that before the ceremony would commence, the father would hold his daughter's hand and escort her to the altar, eventually giving her away to the bridegroom.

Soon, the stage was all set and the beautiful strings of classical music could be heard in the background. Without delay, the master of the ceremony walked to the center.

Holding Martin's hands, Ashley slowly walked down the aisle.

There, Andrew stood directly at the other end. His eyes were glued on Ashley.

Ashley noticed his gaze and couldn't help but look away.
