Bound By Marriage: Captivated By Love

A young woman was sleeping soundly on the king-size bed in a hotel room, which was decorated with a royal theme.

Her slim and delicate body was exposed. She felt her body was slowly becoming hot and her legs unconsciously rubbed against each other. ​​

She felt that she was caught in a dream in which she had always told herself to wake up, but failed no matter how hard she tried.

Meanwhile...

Jingyi Wang took a deep breath and tried very hard to suppress his anger.

He told himself that this was a trap disguise in gentleness.

The sweat on his forehead fell on the bed sheet. After a long time, he gradually cooled himself down. He looked down at the woman in the room and his face darkened.

He stood up from the bed and sat lazily on the couch, lightening a cigarette, waiting for the woman to wake up.

This woman had better explain to him why she was here.

Time went on and on. Jingyi Wang couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and walked up to her.

Suddenly, Li xiao felt a strong hand grabbed her legs and drag her down the bed.

"Ahh..." Xiao li screamed. She sat up in bed in a daze and then her head started to ache again because of her getting drunk yesterday.

Dazed, but still conscious, she looked up to see a man standing beside the bed with his cold, deep blue eyes staring intently at her.

She froze at a glance.

It was not because the man was ugly, otherwise, he was too handsome.

He has a dark brown hair, a pink thin lips. His features were deep and perfect, like a fine work of art. Her gaze traveled down to his body and noticed how noticeable his muscles are. He was good looking, but he gave her a strong sense of oppression.

Xiao li looked around and sense something different.

Where is this place?

She looked at the man in front of her and asked in horror. "Who are you?"

Jingyi frowned and said in a low voice, "Why are you pretending?"

Xiao li was shocked.

What was he talking about?

She raised her eyes and looked at the man. She couldn't help, but scream, "I don't know what you are talking about"

Seeing her like this, Jingyi sneered and said sarcastically. "You ran into my room last night and here you are playing dumb with me"

"What?" Li Xiao was stunned.

Did she heard him wrong?

She ran into his room last night?

"Tell me, who asked you to come here? What is your purpose?"

He asked. His voice was deep and rich, but cold and cruel.

Li Xiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big eyes widened. "What are you talking about?" She retorted in confusion.

"What's your purpose?" he asked coldly.

Li Xiao was shocked. When she saw the anger and seriousness in his eyes, she quickly lowered her eyes and said, "Maybe it was a mistake. I did not come into your room to do anything bad or to hurt you"

"Mistake?" Jingyi Wang smiled coldly.

He did not believe that she mistakenly entered his room.

'Her acting is quite convincing, right?'

He thought.

Li Xiao's eyes scanned through the room subconsciously, then the memories of last night slowly flashed across her mind.

Last night, she went out with her childhood friend and how did she end up in his room.

Where did Zhi Ruo go?

Jingyi Wang gaze was steady as it soaked up every detail of her face. His cold eyes rested on Li Xiao for a moment and there was a flicker of angry recognition in the deepest, blackest part of them.

After looking at her for a few seconds, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Li Xiao looked at her body and noticed she was naked. She screamed and quickly grabbed the duvet to cover herself.

How did she end up in this place?

While she was at a loss of what to do, she heard footsteps again. Jingyi Wang was coming back. She wrapped herself tightly to prevent her body from being exposed.

Jingyi Wang threw her clothes at her.

"What? Are you not going to leave? Do you still want to continue?"

These words escaped his delecable lips. His voice was deep, yet there was this seductive tone that resonated in her. There was also slight accent that followed his words and it felt as if he was caressing her without even touching her.

After that, he turned around and walked into the bathroom again.

Li Xiao blushed as she lowered her head in embarrassment. She removed the duvet and got out of bed, but her body ached badly as if it had just been torn apart. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself; there were purplish-green marks on her neck, hand and chest which are definitely obvious to the eyes.

She quickly gather her clothes, put them on and left the room.

After she left, Jingyi Wang came out of the bathroom and looked at the messy bed. His eyes darkened the more when he thought of her.

"Damn it! That foolish girl!" he cursed aloud.

At that moment, the door opened and An Jun came inside. He bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Wang, the woman that just left your room was with her friend last night. She was drunk that was why she ended up in your room..." he paused to take a deep breath before he continued, "Her name is Li xiao. She is 22 years old. She is the daughter of the Xiao family and she is the only daughter of the xiao family. She works at..."

Jingyi held up his hand in a stopping gesture. "Enough! You can leave now"

An Jun bowed and left the room.

---

As Li Xiao walked down the streets, she tried to remember how she got to that man's room. She lowered her eyes to look at her messy clothes.

That sick man...

Suddenly, she remembered Zhi Ruo. She pulled out her phone from her bag and dialed a number

"Hello, Zhi Ruo?" Li Xiao said slowly and in a low voice.

As soon as Zhi Ruo heard Li Xiao's voice, she yelled, "Li Xiao, where the heck did you go to last night? I looked for you everywhere. Do you know how worried I was?"

Li Xiao closed her eyes, pulling the phone away from her ear to spare her eardrum. She put the phone back to her ear and sighed deeply.

"Calm down. Calm down, okay?"

"Calm down? Do you know that I went to file a missing case yesterday?" Zhi Ruo yelled into the phone.

Li Xiao was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. She knew her friend only cares about her safety.

Li Xiao said, "I was trapped in a short room last night"

"Huh? How did that happen?" Zhi Ruo asked.

Li Xiao continued, "I don't know how it happened, but when I woke up this morning, I found myself in a store room. The sales person was the one who helped me out. I tried calling, but couldn't get through"

Li Xiao and Zhi Ruo had known each other for nearly fifteen years and there was no secret between them, but today, Li xiao had to lie.

After listening to Li xiao explanation, Zhi Ruo said calmly, "Okay, so where are you now?"

"Uh... I'm at... let's meet at the coffee shop"

"Mhm"

In the coffee shop, Zhi Ruo was sitting at a table, drinking coffee quietly. As soon as she saw Li Xiao coming inside, she stood up and ran towards her.

She held her hand and said, "Thank God you are save. I don't know what I would have done if something bad had happened to you. I took you out last night and you suddenly went missing" Zhi Ruo stopped talking when she saw the marks on Li Xiao's neck.

Her eyes narrowed as she reached out her hand to touch Li Xiao's neck, "What's this?"

She realised that Zhi Ruo was talking about the marks on her neck and quickly cover up the marks with her clothes. "Ah, this? it's nothing. I think something bit me in the store room" she sheepishly lied.

Zhi ruo stared at her and said, "Oh, okay. Let's go back home. I am sure aunt will be waiting for you and I have an explanation to give her when we get there"

Li Xiao looked at her. "What explanation?"

"How you got missing and how I found you" she replied.

All of a sudden, Li Xiao's phone started ringing.

"Where have you been?" There came Sienna Wei's warm voice. "Do you know how worried I was yesterday when I found out that you were missing?"

Kessell Sienna bit her lower Sienna p. "I'm sorry for making you worry so much about me"

Sienna u Wei said gently, "Where are you? I will go and pick you up"

Kessell Sienna turned her head to look at Zhi ruo and said, "I'm with Zhi Ruo and we are in the coffee shop at A district"

"Okay, I will be right there" he said and hung up the phone.

It didn't take Sienna u Wei twenty minutes before he arrived at the coffee shop.

Hearing a familiar voice, Kessell Sienna turned her head and saw Sienna u wei coming towards her. She quickly stood up and ran to hug him. The two hugged for a few seconds and then pulled away.

Sienna u Wei smiled at her. "It's a good thing you are safe. I guess you must be very hungry. Let's go back home"

Sienna u wei was always considerate, which made Kessell Sienna feel warm in her heart.

Sienna u Wei, the third young master of Sienna u's family. He was the son of the Chung company and his family was known as the fifth richest family in G city.

Sienna u Wei had been her childhood friend and they have dated for four years since high school. The both of them loved each other so much and after all... They will be getting married in a few weeks.

Holding her hand in his, they left the coffee shop.

As soon as Benjamin Tanner entered the Villa, his parents called him.

Tanner Shu, Benjamin 's mother looked at him and said, "I heard about what happened. You slept with a woman"

Naturally, it was very easy for them to know what their son did.

After all, they are the Tanner 's.

Benjamin Tanner said, "Mom, what happened was only a mistake"

"I know. I know it was only a mistake. Your father and I have thought of it. You should marry that girl" Tanner Shu said.

Benjamin Tanner 's face darkened. He looked at his mother and said coldly, "Mom, just because we slept together doesn't mean I should marry her"

"You have to. Since you have touched her, you have to marry her. You are our only son. You are not getting younger anymore and We are not getting younger also. We need a grandchild. You won't want us to die before you get married, right?"

The calm and gentle Tanner Yong, Benjamin 's father who had been Sienna listening to them, suddenly slapped his hand on the table fiercely. He looked at Benjamin Tanner with cold eyes.

"You must marry that girl whether you Sienna ke it or not. You can't just take advantage of her and then forget it"

Benjamin Tanner became frustrated. "Take advantage of her? Do you mean I took advantage of her? That woman ran into my room last night and then... She seduced me"

"And so what? You still slept with her. You must marry that girl..."

Benjamin Tanner glared at his father. "I won't" Then he turned and left.

Tanner Yong stood up and yelled. "You dare walk out on me? How dare you? I don't care about whatever you say. You are still going to marry that girl"

Benjamin Tanner pretended as if he didn't hear his father and walked out of the room.

Tanner Yong turned to his wife. "You saw what your son just did? Right? He just walked out on me" his eyes flashed with anger.

On the other side of the city, Sienna u Wei brought Kessell Sienna home. Yu yan was very happy when she saw her daughter. She knew her daughter would eventually come back home.

Kessell Sienna was just a simple girl, brought up in a simple household. She was always seen as naive and an innocent girl.

She was the heiress of one of the richest families of G city and her parents loved her alot. Even though she was the daughter of a famous businessman, she chose another path for her career. She was an employee in the F. G group.

Yu yan grabbed her daughter's hand and said in a worried voice. "Where did you go yesterday? Zhi ruo said you suddenly disappeared and she couldn't find you when she looked for you"

Kessell Sienna quickly said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was trapped in a store room last night and I couldn't get out because no one was there to save me"

Yu Yan looked at her daughter from up to down. "Are you okay? Does your body hurt? I'm just so happy because very soon, you will be getting married. You have to protect yourself because your body is priceless"

Her body was truly priceless.

How will she tell her mother that she slept with a strange man?

Yu yan stroked Kessell Sienna 's hair and said proudly. "I know that you have a good girl and you have shown us that. I am sure Sienna u Wei would also be proud of you"

Kessell Sienna looked into her mother's eyes and her heart ached the most. "Mom, I am very tired. I will be going to my room now"

Kessell Sienna quickly rushed into her room. Closing the door of her room, she dropped her bag on the bed and walked into the bathroom. She removed her clothes, looked at herself in the mirror and saw the marks on her body left by the man.

She reached out her hand and touched the marks.

Thinking of what happened that night, her heart ached. She knew she had betrayed Sienna u wei.

She entered the bathroom and scrubbed her body hard as if the marks would wash away, but she could not wash away the marks left by the man.

After bathing, she walked out of the bathroom and changed into her clothes. She lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

She thought of what happened yesterday's night. She could not blame the man, but herself or she could still blame it on her drunkenness.

She never asked him his name and he never asked hers either.

Maybe it would be better that way.

She thought 'The less i know, the better it would be for me to walk away from what happened that night'

She just wanted to Sienna ve a happy Sienna fe. Now that she is getting married soon.

The fact that she had betrayed Sienna u Wei sickened her whenever she thought of it.

How would she tell Sienna u Wei that she slept with a stranger.

As she thought of all these things, she drifted off to sleep.

In the villa, the 'Swoosh' of water flowed down the shower head, splashing against Benjamin Tanner 's lean body.

He was thinking about the events that happened yesterday's night.

Thinking about it, his eyebrow tightly furrowed.

Benjamin Tanner would Sienna ke to die rather than marry her. She was just a stranger and he did not even know her name.

Turning off the tap, draping a white towel around his waist, he walked out of the bathroom. Putting on a dainty suit, he walked out of the villa.

A bodyguard quickly opened the back seat door for him and he climbed into the car. The driver turned on the ignition and drove the car out of the villa.

In front of A.B company, there stood An Jun waiting anxiously. As soon as the car stopped. An Jun immediately stepped forward to open the back seat door.

Benjamin Tanner climbed out and walked into the company. An Jun made an emergency report as they walked into the elevator.

"You have to sign a financing contract with B.B.O bank of the United States at twelve"

Benjamin Tanner did not respond.

An Jun turned his head to look at him. "President, I said..."

"That woman... What's her name again? Kessell Sienna ? I want you to get every information about her. Where she lives, her family, workplace... everything and I need it now"

An Jun looked at him speechlessly.

When did he become so interested in this woman?

"Ah, okay, President. I will do that right away" An Jun said and turned and left.

Benjamin Tanner walked into his office. He sat down and leaned back into the chair. He tapped his finger on the desk as he continued to repeat.

Kessell Sienna 's eyes slowly began to open and she felt no pain again. She felt aSienna ve once more. She was not hurting anywhere, but her heart was still hurting.

The fact that she cheated on Sienna u Wei was still bothering her.

She was just too scared to think about Sienna u Wei's reaction when he heard that she had a night stand with a stranger.

That would be a shame on her.

Yes! It would also ruin her reputation and her family's.

Just then, her mother interrupted her trains of thought.

"Kessell Sienna , Zhi ruo is waiting for you outside" Yu Yan called out.

"Okay, I will be there in a few minutes" She said, climbed down from bed, put on her clothes and quickly gathered her things together and went out.

Zhi Ruo was in the living room, drinking the juice Yu Yan just bought for her. Kessell Sienna walked up to her and sat down beside her.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Zhi Ruo asked when she saw her friend's pale face.

Kessell Sienna crossed her leg and looked at Zhi Ruo. "Why?"

"Your face. Why is your face so pale?"

Kessell Sienna subconsciously touched her face.

She tried to hide what happened to her from her friend. She can't let anyone know. Not Zhi Ruo, not Yu Yan and most especially... Not Sienna u Wei. She sure would be done if they knew what had happened.

Not only will it ruin her family's reputation, for sure, the Sienna u's wouldn't want their son to marry someone Sienna ke her.

Maybe it was better this way. It was better to keep it from all of them. And now, her only prayer was that she never meet that man.

That way, her Sienna fe would be better if he never showed up again.

"Hey! What are you thinking of?" Zhi Ruo's high- pitched voice brought her down back to earth. She turned her head to look at Zhi Ruo.

"Ah, it's nothing" She said. "Now tell me, how is the party preparation going? I heard it's going to be grand. I just can't wait to be there" She said in an excited voice.

She just changed the topic.

"Yeah, it's going to be very interesting. With all those rich family attending the party; I am sure it's going to be fun"

Zhi Ruo did not understand Kessell Sienna nowadays. Ever since she went missing, she had changed. Always lost in her thoughts.

Maybe... she was thinking about her marriage with Sienna u Wei? Maybe?

Who wouldn't be happy knowing that very soon she would be called Mrs Sienna u or young miss.

Well, their discussion went on Sienna ke that.

On the top floor of A. B company.

"President Benjamin , I have done what you asked me to do. This is the information about her" An Jun handed over the file to Benjamin .

Benjamin Tanner grabbed the file, flipped through a few pages as An Jun continued, "Kessell Sienna , a 22 years old woman is the heiress of Kessell family. She works as a marketing speciaSienna st in F. G company. She has a fiance and would be getting married soon in a few weeks to come"

Benjamin Tanner slightly raised his eyebrow. "Getting married?"

An Jun nodded. "Yes. She would be getting married to Sienna u Wei, the third young master of the Sienna u's family?"

Benjamin Tanner frowned. His eyebrows furrowed. He leaned back into the chair and slapped the file on the table.

Why is Benjamin suddenly angry?

But... He never liked her, so what was happening to him now?

"President Benjamin , should I..."

"No! You can leave" Benjamin commanded.

An Jun bowed, turned and left the office.

Benjamin took the photo in the file and looked at the girl in the photo. The girl wore a white shirt with a black bow and a black short skirt. Her long, white, slender legs were exposed. She had a very beautiful smile.

To him, that was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen.

In a few days to come, Kessell Sienna will be getting married to Sienna u Wei. He took her to the wedding dress shop to choose her wedding dress.

As soon as they got into the store together, the bridal attendant bowed and greeted them. She took them to a large, sunSienna t fitting-room area with a slate-gray curtain.

They started talking about the dress style they Sienna ked or thought would look good on Kessell Sienna . The bridal attendant had some ideas like- something very princess-y, while Kessell Sienna had other thoughts. Sienna u Wei on the other hand stayed silent at first.

The first dress Kessell Sienna tried was a fitted, backless design with a plunging necklace, with not much in the way of sparkle or lace.

Kessell Sienna stood in front of Sienna u wei and tentatively asked, "Sienna u Wei, what do you think about this dress.

Sienna u Wei looked at her and said, "The gown is too plain. I don't Sienna ke it"

The next dress was a more flowery design full of lacy appSienna que's. It was a mermaid silhouette, and she tried it with a matching cathedral length veil.

An hour and four more dresses- Later, she slipped into the sixth and last gown. Kessell Sienna looked in the mirror in the fitting room before facing Sienna u Wei again in the final design. The gown was stunning.

Sienna u Wei was absolutely elated. "It's perfect," he said. He got up, walked all around her and talked about every inch of the dress.

After picking her wedding dress, Kessell Sienna was very tired, so Sienna u wei decided to take her home.

In the black BMW, Sienna u Wei gave Kessell Sienna bottled water and gently wiped her sweat as she took a mouthful of water.

"Thank you" She smiled and gave him the bottle, then she turned her face to look out of the window.

In a few days to come, she would be getting married to the man she loved, but her heart ached so much thinking that she had kept the biggest secret of her Sienna fe from the person she would be calling her husband soon.

Are you supposed to keep a secret that's a major part of your Sienna fe from someone you would be spending the rest of your Sienna fe with?

She turned her head to look at Sienna u wei.

The first time they saw each other was when they were in grade four. Kessell Sienna was sitting on the bench under a tree reading a book. She wore a white shirt, a blue bow and a brown skirt. Her hair was made into two cute ponytails.

Her skin was as smooth as silk, almost Sienna ke a porcelain doll, her cheeks were a rosy pink and she had slight freckles on her nose and under her eyes.

Sienna u Wei walked up to her and sat down beside her. "Hi" he greeted.

Kessell Sienna raised her head to look at him and smiled. "Hello" she greeted him with a smile.

Her smile leaves him breathless, speechless, heart pounding and her voice was as soft as a summer rain.

"My name is Sienna u wei" he introduced himself and shook her hand.

Kessell Sienna smiled at him and said, "My name is Kessell Sienna . You can call me Sienna Sienna for short"

The both of them talked about everything under the sun, from their famiSienna es, to their Sienna kes and disSienna kes, to their hopes and dreams. Their first time together lasted hours upon hours.

When it was time to leave, the two of them promised to see each other often.

Later on, they began to see each other often because they both came from a very rich family and their families are business partners, so that made them become closer.

Sienna u Wei was always calm, soft spoken and always considerate.

Sienna u Wei felt her gaze on him and turned his head to look at her. "Why are you staring at me?"

Sienna u Wei's deep, gentle voice interrupted her trains of thought.

She opened her mouth to talk, but couldn't. She closed her mouth and continued to stare at him. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth and these words came out. "Sienna u wei, if you ever find out about the mistakes I have made, will you still forgive me? Will you leave me?"

Her questions made Sienna u Wei confused.

Sienna u wei smiled at her. "Whatever it is, I will forgive you. I won't leave you. The past is to prove that no one is perfect and the future is to prove that everyone can change"
