BEAUTY WITHIN : EPISODE 21 – 40
Episode 37
By Kebby NG
Jasper went to the bed and stroked Sharon’s hair. Then after a while, he asked,“Will you marry me if I ask you to?” Wtf!!! He looks like he is deeply in thoughts when he asked her.
He was also looking down when he asked. “I don’t like the way they treated you. If you marry me, I can provide all the security, protection and finances that you need. You won’t have to worry about them retaliating anymore…,” he continued mumbling to himself like he was practicing how to ask her when she wakes up.
Sharon smiled as she heard him mumbling to himself. She has actually been awake since, even when Ann was here. But since she hates that woman so much, she acted like she was asleep.
She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She closed her mouth back in pain. Her cheeks ache alot. She can’t even talk out of pain.
She wanted to tell him. Why? Why does he want to marry her? Why is he being so nice to her? So nice that it is actually terrifying. She is just a stranger to him. Why is he acting so kind?
She is just his employee, shouldn’t he treat her just like Tia’s nanny? Her eyes revealed a coldness glint as she remembered what had happened earlier.
Those pair of annoying old couple. She has been giving them respect cause they were supposed to be her parents but who knew they weren’t even her biological parents. Now all those suffering makes sense.
They treated her this way cause she is not their flesh and blood. But if her real father is really Mr Winston’s younger brother, why did they treat her ¢ruelly?
Why didn’t they tell her about her parents? Why didn’t they say anything about a younger brother? What type of a man was her father? How did he and her mother die?
What type of life did they live before they died? All these questions with no answers made her head ache even more. She could now feel that there is more to this matter than the Winston couple are telling her.
There must be something they are still not telling her. .“Even if I ask her, will she marry me? God! I’m such a fool to have thought of something like this,” Jasper spoke laughing to himself.
Sharon smiled and reached out to pat his hair slightly. Since she can’t say anything, she will at least try to show him. Jasper froze as he felt the light touch on his head. He looked up to see her staring at him.
He felt both relieved and suprised to see her awake. ‘How long has she been awake? Did she hear everything?,’ Jasper thought as the tips of his eyes begin to turn pink with blush.
Sharon shook her head vigorously indicating yes. Jasper blushed as he found out that he had said his thoughts out loud. But then he realized something and looked at her puzzled,“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you okay?”
He panicked as he thought that perhaps those annoying couple had done something to her. She only smiled looking at how worried he is. Jasper was a little bit pissed.
He is asking her questions and she is smiling in response. Jasper flicked his forehead as he remembered that he is supposed to give her water when she wakes up.
He moved to the jug already placed on top of the bedside drawer and gave her water. As soon as she drank like four cups of water, she could now speak again.
“What were you saying?,” she asked him quietly. Jasper looked down not knowing how to answer. “How do you feel now?,” he asked, ignoring her question.
“I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck,” she tried to laugh but it only made her throat hurt the more.
Jasper’s eyes turned cold as he thought of the terrible state he met her earlier. Those couple won’t surely go scot-free. Even that stupid son won’t be left out. He knew his sister was being maltreated yet he did nothing.
He had the guts to sack her from the company with no valid reason and rip off the source of her livelihood from her.
“Now don’t try to distract me. I asked you a question,” Sharon said with a slightly narrowed eyes.
“Forget I ever said anything. Just forget about it,” he replied.
“Do you really want to marry me?,” Sharon asked him not willing to back down. Jasper looked at her. Why is she saying this like he is begging to marry her?
“I’m not marrying you for any ulterior motive. I just want to help you take revenge. You won’t need to deal with those pesky family members of yours again,” he answered.
“Thank you for offering but I don’t need your help in taking revenge on them,” she told him blatantly. Jasper sighed. Why is she so stubborn?
“But yes, I’ll marry you. I want to find out what happened to my father and my mother. How they died and why? But I can’t do that on my own. I need your affluence to do so,” she said.
Jasper didn’t know why he suddenly felt relieved and happy that she agreed to marry him. But he looked at her confused. What is she talking about? What parents? Die?
“What are you saying? I already have your parents and I haven’t killed them so don’t label me as a murderer. But you can do so after I kill them,” he retorted.
Sharon seriously has the urge to laugh but she is afraid to do so because of her cheeks. “Dummy, I don’t mean them. They are not my real parents. They made sure I know about that earlier,” she replied.
Jasper looked suprised for just a second. So that’s why they have always maltreated her.
“Good. Now I’m free to torture them and kill them just like I want,” Jasper told with an evil smirk on his face.
“No, don’t kill them yet. They are still useful. But dear hubby, please torture them very well for your future wifey,” Sharon said teasingly. She didn’t expect that her words will greatly affect him.
He sat frozen on his wheelchair with a stunned expression on his face. The word ‘hubby’ couldn’t stop resounding in his mind.
“What did you just say?,” he asked her incredulously.
“Erm… I said you should torture them for me,” Sharon answered, pretending not to know what he’s talking about.
“No, you said something else…,” Jasper noticed the mischievous smile on her face and his face darkened. He steered his wheelchair closer to the bed and narrowed his eyes at her.
“Are you trying to tease me? I would have taught you a lesson if you weren’t in a bad shape right now,” he uttered.
“What? I was only practicing what to call you when we get married. Mind you, just because I’m calling you hubby doesn’t mean we have to do somethings,” she replied.
“What things?,” he asked.
“You know what I’m talking about. The couple stuffs. If you dare try any nonsense with me, I’ll chop off your prick. Because I forgot what you did that time doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you. You will still pay for it. The doctor didn’t say you have to give me that specific type of body heat,” she told him with a challenging look.
Jasper only smirked and answered,“I’ll love to see you try. Since I’m the one that will help you through this marriage, you have to follow every of my commands.”
“You wish. Hubby, it’s better to back out from this contract now while you still have time cause I’m not your slave and won’t do everything you ask me to,” Sharon said it loud and clear.
“We will see about that and that reminds me. Wifey, do you know you now have new list of medicines to take?,” Jasper chuckled as Sharon’s face revealed a ho.rrified look.
Drugs again!!! Those couple will surely go to he.ll for putting her in this condition.

“Sir, Mr Anonymous wants to see you.” Ben looked up as one of his subordinates came in to inform him of the arrival of a new visitor in the company.
He still can’t get over the shock that a stranger literally bought the shares just like that. “Why are you calling him anonymous? Doesn’t he have a name? And I’m not ready to see anyone,” Ben retorted.
“But sir, it’s concerning the shares. He claims to have come with some sort of proposal.” Ben’s ears perked up as he heard the word ‘shares’. He immediately stood up and walked out. As soon as he got the conference room, the handsome young man waiting patiently stood up.
“Nice to meet you once again Ben,” he said with a smile and Ben couldn’t hide his shocked look. At this rate, he is afraid he might pass out due to the multiple suprise he has received.
