A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Sixteen- My Creepy Husband
Anacá's POVI closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet floral fragrance. It seeped into my soul and expelled the sadness that had gripped my heart since morning. On seeing the duvet and pillow on the floor when I woke up, I felt guilty. Did Eros sleep on the floor because of me? Jules informed me he hadn’t eaten a thing since morning. It made me feel even guiltier. I had proved to be a horrible wife to him so far. Was he repenting his decision to marry me? With his looks and wealth, he could have married anyone. I should be thankful he chose me. After all, it saved me from marrying Josh and made my dad happy. That was what I wanted, right?Did he really have no motive for marrying me? I didn’t know what to believe. My heart softened a little towards him after last night. I hadn’t expected him to restrain himself. Heck, he even slept on the floor, respecting my need for rest! With his notorious reputation, it was a feat indeed. I had seen him struggle to restrain his urges. I had felt t

Anacá He pounced on me in a single leap, and my heart almost stopped in its cage. “Where do you think you’re going?” His voice was low and raspy, causing a tremor up my spine. I hadn’t expected him to catch me. Now what will he do with me? “What? I was going to the washroom.” I sucked in a deep breath to act aloof, as if I hadn’t unleashed the beast inside him. I had no idea why I did it. Now it was too late to regret. “Escaping to the washroom is more accurate. Don’t you think? I won’t let you escape. It’s time to face the consequences, my dear wife.” He seemed to rub it in my face that I was his wife. “What consequences? I was, umm, just joking.” I eased out of his hold and ran for dear life to the bedroom. “Anacá, get back here. Fine, this makes my work easier. I won’t need to carry you to the bedroom.” He rushed after me, and I squealed with fright. “Shh! Do you want the security here?” I ran to the far side of the bed. “Yes, I’ll scream the place down. Stop it, Eros. Okay,

Anacá I closed my eyes in a state of panic. What would he do with me? “Please, I’m exhausted. I want nothing to do with ice creams ever again. I hate it already,” I rambled as he dropped me on the bed and stared at me. “What? I hate this, you, and ice cream.”His expression changed into something I couldn’t fathom. What did he have in mind? He almost looked snubbed by my lack of enthusiasm. It might be an everyday occurrence for him, but I wasn’t comfortable having s*x with a stranger. Eros was still a stranger whom I was compelled to marry. His reputation didn’t help at all. Would he dump me if he knew I was a virgin with zero experience? I watched him awkwardly, admiring his good looks. His angular jaw, straight nose, sun-kissed skin, and hazel eyes were to die for. Not to mention his sculpted body that had already turned me on, yet I couldn’t imagine giving my virginity to him, married or not. He picked up a tub of vanilla ice cream and scooped up a speck, still holding my gaze

Eros“Would you like a tour of our winery, Mr. Nikolaou?” Rafael DuPont gave me a hopeful look, pride evident in his eyes. I was impressed with his setup after a tour of his head office and shopping center. With all the luxurious brands housed under a roof, I was eager to see them on my cruise ships, too.“How long will that take?” I glanced at my phone. It was almost lunchtime and yet there had been no message from Anacá. Did she wake up?“Almost four hours.”My phone buzzed with an incoming call from Josh, and I frowned. Why was assh*le calling me? Was he jealous that I married his ex? I wanted to avoid his call, but my mind was indecisive. If it was about my office, I would have received a call from my inefficient PA, Freya Adams, or my GM, Gordon Mitchell. Then what was it about?“Maybe the next time. If you’ll excuse me, I need to take this call, Mr. DuPont.” I rose and walked out of his office to accept the call. It disconnected, and I called back, swallowing the sense of dread

AnacáHe drove on with a grim look instead of answering me. I fumed at his insensitivity. Couldn’t he just tell me? I couldn’t drive the sinking feeling away. Something was terribly wrong. Why weren’t we going to the hospital where dad was admitted? He drove on towards Josh’s house and parked his car. “Come on.” He opened the door for me, but I stormed out towards the front porch. I wanted nothing to do with Eros Nikolaou. If anything happened to my dad, I would break all connection with him. He followed me and rang the doorbell. In my disturbed state, I had forgotten to even knock. The door opened and Uncle Jeremy gave me a haunted look. “Oh, you’re here. Come inside.” He led us inside while my eyes sought my dad. He usually sat in the living room recliner here in Uncle Jeremy’s house. It was his favorite place. But today, the recliner was vacant. There was no sign of my dad. “Where’s dad, Uncle Jeremy?” I saw Aunt Dana come into the room, looking shattered. “Sit down, Anacá,” s

ErosIt has been three days since I started stalking my wife like a lunatic. What options did I have? She wasn’t taking my calls or responding to my messages. I had no idea what she had in mind. The messages I sent through Hemmingway went unanswered. It seemed they, too, didn’t want us to unite. Were Josh’s parents instigating her against me? Obviously, they had a motive. After Josh and Jordynn’s breakup, they would surely want Anacá to be their daughter-in-law. More so now that they knew about our marriage. Only they had no idea I wasn’t letting my wife go. I would never give Anacá a divorce or an annulment. Ever since the funeral was over, she had hardly stepped out of her house. The only time she did was to walk her dog. It bothered me since she hardly went to the convenience store to replenish her stock. Yet I couldn’t reach out to her. If the dog wasn’t with her, I would have stormed in and whisked her away with me. But I was petrified of dogs. After being bitten at nine, once

Anacá It had been almost ten days since I lost my dad. But my life had come to a standstill. I would have lost the will to live had Lucy not been there. Last night, Aunt Dana insisted I have dinner with them. I had completely forgotten, but Josh arrived to pick me up and then dropped me off. It was surprising he took so much interest in me. He hadn’t done so much in the last eighteen months of my association with him.Yet it didn’t cheer me up. After my dad’s death, I drifted apart from the Hemmingway family as well. With Jess busy dating someone she met last week, I was now totally alone. I had stopped looking for a job, even. What was the use? No one wanted me. My phone buzzed with an incoming call from an unknown number. But I had no wish to talk to anyone. I left the phone on the sofa and went out to the balcony. The evening breeze cooled my face, and I closed my eyes to feel the fresh air against my skin. A commotion farther down the street made me open my eyes and look. I sa

AnacáI drove home in a better frame of mind, excited to start work the next day. I didn’t mind signing a bond with such a reputable company. It only meant they couldn’t throw me out of the job for five years. I felt happy. Maybe dad was there nearby, blessing me. I reached home only to find Josh sitting on my porch. I parked the car and alighted, my good mood going downhill. “You? What are you doing here, Josh? Don’t you have any work to do?” After last night, I had sworn never to see his face again. But here he was, shamelessly, waiting for me. He sprang to his feet and glared at me. “No, I don’t. Thanks to you and your ass*ole husband. He threw me out of Krypton.” I glared back at the infuriating guy. “Don’t drag me into this, Josh. You dug your own grave when you insulted your boss last night. You should be thankful he didn’t sue you for multiple reasons. And after the lies you spewed out of your mouth about me, I won’t entertain you here. Leave before I lose my mind.”He gave

Eros“Why do we have to give up on our dreams and business, Dad? You’ve worked hard to build it from scratch. So what if we’re adopted? Grandpa had signed it to us.” I paced the office in a fit of rage. This was an injustice, and my dad was supporting it wholeheartedly. Dad gave me a pleading look. “You still don’t get it, do you? Enriquez will kill you and Anacá. Do you want to lose your lives for the business? You have Krypton, don’t you? It’s not like you’ll be on the streets without Emerald.” I stopped and sat down beside him, ready for war. “I’ll file an FIR against him. I’ll hire bodyguards, but I refuse to give up on what’s rightfully mine. Why did you bend, Dad? You should have discussed with me before signing off the company shares to them.” He sighed and shook his head, looking at least ten years older, helpless and defeated. I had never seen my dad in this light. He was a born fighter. “I panicked, Eros. I can’t afford to lose you.” I sighed too. I could understand his
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Forty-One - Remorse
ErosRemorse shunted through me as I stood at her closed door, begging to be let in. What had I done in my jealousy? Why didn’t I believe her? She had saved her virginity for me, and I destroyed everything between us. “Anacá, please, can you open the door once? I’m sorry.” I waited, but there was no response from inside. Did she lose consciousness? Guilt ate me up. How did I let the monster in me take over? All my life, I had lived recklessly with no one to teach me a thing about relationships. I f*cked available who*es who expected nothing but a rough ride. It had become a habit only to fulfill my needs, but tonight was different. Anacá was my wife, my better half. She didn’t deserve this.I had let my jealousy control my mind and body. How did I stoop so low? I had waited for so long to make love to Anacá, to consummate our marriage. Now I had fu*ked it all up with my insensitivity. She would never forgive me for being an as*hole to her, for snatching away what she had treasured
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Forty - The Worst Punishment
Anacá We tumbled into the bed together, and I watched him hover over me. His hazel eyes held my gaze, while his arms on either side of my body held me captive.“Are you sure?” He lifted an eyebrow at me, and the look he gave me was so full of heat, I ignored the anger bubbling inside him. I knew he still hadn’t believed or forgiven me. I nodded, and he watched me intently. Yes, I was his. I had already surrendered my body, mind, and soul to him. He was the only one I loved and the only one I would belong to. But now wasn’t the time to confess. He wouldn’t believe me. It was time to show him through my actions. It was time to prove my love for him. His fingers worked on the buttons of my top while his eyes held my gaze. I knew he was giving me ample space to back out. But I didn’t want to. I wanted to please him tonight. He eased the top out of me, still with his eyes on me. A hot flush crept up my body as his eyes drank me in. The way he looked at me made my body flush. I had neve

AnacáHe looked so furious, I knew what was in store for me. Even Aunt Dana was ill at ease. “We asked her to stay back with us, Eros,” said Uncle Jeremy, glaring at Josh. However, Josh looked quite pleased with himself for causing a rift between my husband and me. I repented, having forgiven him. He didn’t deserve it. With a slight nod towards Josh’s parents, Eros gripped my arm and strode out, pulling me along. Lucy, too, followed meekly, sensing trouble. Once we were outside, he pulled me towards his car in a fit of rage. “Get in. This is unforgivable, Anacá. What the f*ck were you doing here with Josh?” “Please, stop! I can explain.” I tried to get free, but his grip on my arm felt like a steel band, refusing to loosen. “There’s nothing to explain. Why did you lie to me, Anacá? I asked you repeatedly.” He shoved me inside his car and let Lucy in before walking around to the driver’s side. “I went to visit Aunt Dana and Uncle Jeremy, not Josh. His parents have done a lot for

Anacá“Mmm! This is too good, Aunt Dana. I missed your meatballs so much.” I couldn’t help but close my eyes and chew, blocking out Josh’s scowling face opposite. I had agreed to stay back for Aunt Dana and Uncle Jeremy. They had done much for me, and I was indebted to them. But Josh seemed to get other ideas. I didn’t bother talking to him. So, he sat there sulking and glaring at me all the time. “Do you want to learn? You can make them for your husband. Do you know it’s a sure-shot way to win a man’s heart!” chuckled Aunt Dana. I opened my eyes, surprised to hear her joke in front of her crazy son. “Oh!” My cheeks were stained with color. Uncle Jeremy laughed too, while Josh glared daggers at me and his mom. “I’m sure she has touched his heart. Or he wouldn’t have pursued and married her!”“I don’t believe this! Are you supporting the man who has destroyed my career?” Josh rose in a fit of rage. “No, son. We’re just discussing Anacá’s husband. You have no reason to overreact,

Anacá “I’m speechless! How did you convince Dad so easily? I had been trying for the last couple of years.” Eros drove away from his family mansion, looking flustered. “I hardly tried to convince him. All I did was offer to cook a good meal for him. My dad loved my cooking, and I miss feeding him.” I sighed at the memory. “Anyway, the place wasn’t conducive to his mental and physical well-being, Eros. There was so much toxicity, it was suffocating me.” I pondered over Acacia’s warning. Should I inform Eros about my hunch? I knew his extended family was planning something against him.“Yes, I know. That’s the reason I rarely come here. But this time, the situation was worse. So, did anyone insult you in my absence?” He glanced at me before steering the car onto the main roads. “No. Only Acacia warned me this would be the last time I could look around the mansion. She said that soon the house would belong to your uncle. I have a feeling they’re planning something against you, Eros.”

Eros“So, that’s my resume. I’m sure you know my qualifications, Eros. I’ll come down to the office tomorrow. With my experience, I can handle any top managerial job.”I gave Vincent a withered look. “Right now, we have no vacancy. Why don’t you apply at other companies?” I had no wish to induct him into my business. I would have avoided it if Dad hadn’t been so adamant. But with dad supporting them, I had no say in the matter. Victor had been trying to convince me for the last forty minutes in my dad’s study. It made me feel suffocated. Why couldn’t he get the idea?He gave me a shocked look. “Do you expect a Nikolaou to go begging others for a job? We are one of the top business families in the country, bro. Wouldn’t it tarnish your reputation?”I shook my head. “Nope. I’m an open-minded guy. Applying for jobs isn’t begging. With your qualifications, you’re serving a company, helping a business in return for money. It’s better than bothering others for money. That’s begging.” I coul

AnacáThe door opened, and a uniformed staff greeted us. “Mr. Nikolaou is waiting for you in the great room.”Eros led me down the grand foyer towards the lavishly decorated great room. Everything about the villa was exotic and over the top. It was quite suffocating, hardly the home I’d like to live in. Thankfully, it wasn’t my home. Eros had built his own private sanctuary for us. He seemed the most sensible of the lot.His grip on my hand was so tight it hurt. Why was he crushing my hand? Maybe he was stressed. It was normal, given the circumstances he was in. Even I was stressed. I couldn’t wait for this ordeal to get over. Would I stay in Eros’s life as his wife by the end of the day?Relax, Anacá.Breathe.I must trust my husband. He promised me that no one could separate us.Voices echoed around us as we entered the lavish great room. I tried hard to remain calm at all costs. The whole family seemed to have gathered here. In fact, even Acacia was present, busy chatting up Lydia,

Anacá I watched the jaw-dropped look on his face, and a sense of satisfaction coursed through my body.“Where were you? I looked for you everywhere. I thought you had left.” The fear in his eyes was clearly visible, and it felt good to know he wanted me to stay with him.“I went to grab a bite. After the way she insulted me, I had no wish to tolerate her.” I felt a little foolish for reacting to Acacia.“Oh, the food I ordered was for you. Why didn’t you have it?”“She snatched it from me.”Eros rolled his eyes in exasperation. “Anacá, you had the right to throw her out. You’re not just my PA. You’re the owner of Emerald as well. You should know and understand your rights.”My heart filled with an overwhelming urge to hug him. Did he really consider me the owner of his business? I hadn’t expected him to. “Oh, I am?” I couldn’t stop the urge any longer. Was he for real? We hadn’t been married for even a month, and he had already declared me the owner of his business. I didn’t need a s
