Inside the newlyweds' car, Ashley was quiet. She sat at the far end, away from her new husband. She wasn't sure where they were going or how long it would take them to get there. She decided to feign sleep so she could avoid talking to him. She leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. Tanaga saw right through the ruse, but he let her have her peace. He sat staring at his lovely new bride, lost in deep thought.
Ashley's mind was in turmoil. Everything was surreal. She couldn't believe how much her life had changed in such a short time. She'd had a simple life in the Philippines. Suddenly everything had flipped one hundred and eighty degrees. Ashley's family had never had much money, and suddenly she was the wife of a billionaire. Even though she may only be his wife by name, still, she's his wife.
