''Why me, Adrian?'' she whispered, "Why did you marry me?"
The moment those questions slipped past her mouth, Ella realized that she had spoken it out loud.
She was not expecting any answer. Especially now that Adrian seemed to have fallen asleep.
But the man who had his head positioned on her lap, moved slightly. His long eyelashes fluttered before a pair of onyx eyes stared at Ella.
Ella's breath hitched. The sudden glow of Adrian King almost blinded her. Could this guy be a little less magnificent?!
He watched her intently and Ella knew that there was no way he did not hear her question.
"Adrian, why did you marry me back then?" Ella gave it a thought before adding, "Was it because of pity?"
She did not remember much but whatever she did, told her that she was in a pathetic state that night.
Adrian raised his hand.
Ella moved back on instinct, instantly reminded of how he had pulled her down for a kiss near the dresser.
