Xavier's pov:

As expected, the devil Lucas told Dan everything about the deal . She came fuming with anger straight to my room yesterday night. Can you believe ? It was 11:30 in the night. A normal, decent person sleeps at that time and not barges into someone's room and start with the confrontation. It was very difficult for me to explain her that, I am not going to ruin an innocent's life. It took me two hours to explain her that this deal is happening with that girl's will. It isn't forced upon anyone . This is for the profit of both the parties . I need her as my wife at events and some meetings where people want to see me as a family man and not as some cassanova . She still disapproved of my thought and went fuming with anger from there .

I know that she is still very much disappointed with me but she is my little sister . It takes nothing more than few lovely messages for her anger to subside . She is really very innocent and sweet.

Even though I convinced my sister that I will not ruin an innocent's life but the girl who just agreed to marry me without any sort of meeting or any sort of conversation with me , is that girl really innocent? What if she turns out to be a gold digger or a slut who throws herself at any guy ? Will this decision make me regret later? I hope not.

I got ready and went to my office at 8:00 . After some time, a message tune made my attention shift towards my phone. It was Lucas' message that he has a very important meeting and won't be able to be my witness for today's wedding. I thought for a second and then Chris came to my mind. Definitely only signature is required there of the witness. So, Chris can definitely be my witness . What else is the secretary for?

I replied Lucas, to go ahead with meeting and not worry about me . After sometime, it was the time to go to the court. I checked my appearance one last time before moving out in my bedroom, that is adjacent to my cabin in the office. That girl is going to be very lucky to be the wife of such a handsome billionaire . I smirked.

We are at the court but Mr. Jones haven't arrived yet and as usual, I was before time. It was exact 11 o'clock when Mr. Jones arrived with his daughter .

That girl looked innocent and beautiful . But they say, that looks may be deceiving. I ignored the looks and the beauty of that girl and we went ahead with the procedures.

During the whole time, I noticed that the girl hasn't talked a single word. For a moment , I thought if that girl is mute or what? How would it seem that the ' Xavier Adams ' is married to a mute girl. But, then I remembered that, Chris informed me about everything being okay with that girl after I asked him to run an investigation over her.

According to my investigator , even her character is good. But sometimes, even these investigators fail to go in the depth of a person's character. So for me , she is and will always be like other girls who are behind me just for my money and my looks . Just the difference is that she isn't behind me. I went ahead with the proposal.

Her father told me to take care of her and I nodded. Then we sat in the car and moved towards my mansion. Even the whole car ride was silent.

As soon as we reached my mansion , I sent Chris ahead with my driver to the office and asked him to handle the office work for sometime . That girl was still lost in her dreamland. I came to her side , knocked the window shield and that's when she came out of her senses. Then, she opened the door and came out and as soon as she saw my mansion , she just kept on looking at it and her eyes expanded as if she saw a miracle.

I then asked her to follow me. We went ahead in the living room and then Mimi came and asked me who's the girl with me? I replied , ". It seemed strange to my mouth but this is what the reality is. Now, I'm a married man . For a second Mimi was astonished but, she quickly masked her emotions and welcomed that girl inside the house. I asked her to make her comfortable in the guest room on my floor.

That girl went and I just kept looking at her. I need to remind myself that she is not 'That Girl' . She has a name. That is Maya. Her name seemed strange coming from my mouth. I made a few calls at work, just to ensure smooth going of my projects in my absence. After nearly 30-45 minutes, I was done with my work and that's when Anna came down and asked me about everything. I told her all the things that happened in the last two days. Even she wasn't happy with my decision. But as always , she supported me and asked me to take care of that girl. She isn't that girl. She is Maya.

After thinking a lot , I decided to have a talk with Maya because things won't go well, if we both behave like strangers under one roof . We need to have a conversation like decent human beings have.

Maya's pov:

Finally, I am married . But, without love, without happiness, without satisfaction and without a hope for a beautiful future .

As soon as we reached Mr. Adams' mansion, I was shocked to see such a beautiful and large mansion . It was really very huge. I haven't seen such in reality . Of course in movies, they show such big houses but those are all sets which aren't real. But this house, No No No it's a mansion that is so so so so so huge. But what's the point of living in such a beautiful house if you are unhappy .

I came out of my dreamland when Mr. Adams asked me to follow him . We went inside and a middle aged lady came and asked about me to Mr. Adams . He replied," MY WIFE " . A shiver ran through my veins and I got goosebumps hearing the words My Wife. It was something new for me but wasn't exciting. She, then showed me my room. I really thanked God so much for knocking the sense in Mr. Adams' head that I won't be comfortable sharing a room with him at this moment. Thanks to him that, I have my own separate room here.

I was worried about the fact that I'll have to sleep with a stranger on his bed. But still, having my own separate room don't guarantee that he won't claim his rights on me . As far as I know , these billionaires are spoilt creatures. They think women as a meal they can have whenever they want .

My thoughts broke when that lady opened the door to a room. " Come inside Dear ." She said with a calmness in her voice that I missed from the last two days . That soothing voice made my lips turn into a small curve which she returned with a huge smile. I went inside and saw it was a beautiful room. It had an attached balcony, a big window that helps the sunlight to reach directly into the room . I was thankful for this room to Mr. Adams as I am very much fond of light. So, I won't be able to live peacefully if he would have given me a dark room.

The walls were painted in most light pink shade, I have ever seen. All together, it was beautiful . It has a chandelier at the top, a small study table and compartment made of glass which was empty. I can keep my books there. It had two doors. I wondered where did the lead to?

" Where are you lost dear child ?"asked the lady .

"No where mam ."

"Hey hey ! Please don't call me mam. I am Anna, the caretaker of the house and Xavier is like a child to me. I have raised him . I don't know in what circumstances you both got married but, trust me , he is a great guy. Come I'll show you your room."She opened the first door .

"Darling, this leads to the bathroom ."

Wow ! It has an attached bathroom . Amazing and honestly, it was the biggest bathroom I've ever seen. It has a bathtub , a shower and a vanity. Overall, it was amazing.

She, then opened the second door." This is your closet dear. You can shift your belongings here."

" Thank you so much Anna. "

"Let's unpack your things."

" No No! Don't stress yourself. I will do it after sometime. I need to get fresh."

"Don't worry dear . It isn't stress for me . I'll help you. You can do one thing . You get fresh , till then I'll set up your closet ."

I nodded and went inside the bathroom. After taking a long shower and wrapping myself in a bathrobe , I went outside in the closet to see that Anna has setup my complete closet .

"Thank you so much Anna for the help."

"No worries dear. I'll be downstairs if you need anything . You can call me or just come downstairs. Okay ?" She patted my cheek and then went ahead closing the door silently.

I wore a simple shirt and jeans and went towards the balcony .

As soon as I reached the balcony, the cool breeze hit me and chills ran through my body. The view was very nice from there . Everything seemed beautiful from there. There was no rush - rush of the city , no noise of the traffic, no horns of vehicles . It was silent. I could see a garden from the balcony. I decided to ask Mr. Adams if I can visit the garden. I was lost in my thoughts of adjusting to this new house with new people.

Suddenly, there was a knock at my door. I wondered what was Anna doing here again. I went towards the door and opened it . There stood someone, I least expected to see today. ' standing with his hands shoved inside his pockets and leaning towards the the wall .
