Arranged Marriage

Harassment

A week had passed and it was day of the business party.

(Amber POV)

It was 8pm and the event starts at 10pm. I did my hair like this.

And got dressed into this.

I also did some light makeup. I tried to keep it as natural as possible. Mostly cause I liked that type of style.

After I got dressed, Jay knocked on the door. "Come in!" I said loudly while searching for my earnings.

He walked in and looked at me up and down in awe.

" Y-you look..pretty." He said obviously not wanting to admit it straight away.

I giggled and thanked him. "Jay, I can't seem to find my earnings."

"Which ones? You've got like a 100 pairs." He said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes.

"The silver ones."

"Have you checked your drawers?" He asked while raising his eyebrows."

I checked one of them." I said.

"Check the other one too."

I felt a bit stupid and facepalmed myself internally. I then walked over to the drawer. Slightly bending down a bit. I opened it and saw the earrings.

"Sorry for that." I apologized to him.

"Hey, it's alright, I'm like that too sometimes." I smiled as I put them on.

We walked downstairs, went outside and got into the car. The drive was silent for a while. I was leaning back onto my seat. As I got up to look at something, I felt my earrings get caught on my dress. I hissed in pain as it pulled on my earlobe. When Jay saw my discomfort, he pulled the car to the side and turned to me.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked trying not to sound worried. But I could tell he was.

"My earring got caught on my dress." I whined.

"Here, let me see." Jay said.

He got closer to me as his hot breath hit my neck. He managed to get my earring off my dress and he pulled away.

"Thanks." I said to him, nicely.

"No worries." He said with no emotion.

Man, is this guy made of ice or is he a robot?

(At the party)

We had reached the hall. I was about to get out of the car but Jay stopped me. I was a bit confused as to why he wasn't letting me come out. He got out and walked towards my door.

Looking very handsome, he opened the door for me and I got out. Before going in, Jay wrapped his arm around my waist in order to keep me safe and pulled me close to him. I blushed uncontrollably.

We walked in and Jay started talking to other people about business and I was following him like a lost puppy. He'd also introduce me from time to time to other people as his 'Soon-to-be fiancé.'

After a while, Jay and I were standing alone and he said to me,

"Amber, I'm gonna head to the restroom. If you don't feel comfortable being alone, then you can come with me." Jay whispered to me with his deep, husky voice. I blushed a bit at the thought.

"No no it's okay, I'll be fine." I said reassuring him.

"If you say so and I'll be back in a bit. And if anyone asks you who you are, just say, you're my fiancé. Understand?"

I nodded my head. Then he walked past me. The restrooms are behind me probably. I just stood there like a kid who'd lost his mom in a big crowd.

Then a random guy in his mid-forties came up to me and said,

"Hey baby.." The guy said.

"Uhm...hi?" I said awkwardly.

Then he wrapped his arm around my waist and said,

"What is a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?"

I was starting to get really uncomfortable. Then he put his hand on my butt. Okay, now this was definitely sexual harassment. But I didn't even know what to do....

(Jay POV)

I got out of the restroom and was going back to Amber. When I saw her with a man. Even worse, an old man. I saw his hand was on her butt. That made my blood boil. I walked over to the guy and I saw Amber, who was looking extremely uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" The guy asked me.

"I'm her fiancé. Jay Wilson." His jaw slightly fell. That's what happens when you're a famous businessman's son. I then punched him straight in the face and he fell over.

"If you even dare to lay a finger on MY girl ever again, then I'll deal with you personally." I growled out angrily and grabbed Amber's hand and we got out of the hall and into the car.

"Thanks for...protecting me from that guy." She said, gratefully.

"No worries, It was the right thing to do after all." I replied.

"Did you...really mean what you said in there?" She said, a bit hesitant. I knew she was talking about the 'If you dare to even lay a finger on my girl.'

"Well, yeah obviously. I wouldn't ever let that happen."

"Thanks for caring for me." She said shyly.

"It's okay, after all I'll be your husband and it'll be my ultimate duty to protect you."

She blushed and looked away after I said that last part. I noticed she's very shy and probably an introvert which is kinda cute to be honest...
