Eros

I saw red the moment she hit me. Trembling with fury, I stood frozen for a split second to swallow the insult. I couldn’t react here, but once outside, I would definitely punish her in the worst way possible. She would remember it all her life before lashing out at me!

I hated women. Now I realized why my dad had never married.

How dare she hit me?

I sucked in a deep breath and focused on her, but she had disappeared, taking advantage of my momentary lapse. Where did she go? Wasn’t she here a second ago? I punched in her phone number, only to remember her phone had no charge.

Mad fury coursed through my veins as I whirled around and retraced my steps back to our table in the VIP section. But Anacá was nowhere in sight. So she hadn’t come back here. Maybe she had gone to the apartment.

“Maddox, can you help me?” I motioned to him to follow me outside, and he did with a frown. I walked out of the club, searching everywhere. Yet there were no signs of her. How did she vanish so

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Fifty-Four – Eros’ Ultimatum

    Anacá“You’ll be discharged today, Anacá. Are you feeling better now?” asked Mr. Murphy, my neighbor. After a day in the hospital, I really did.“Yes, thank you, Mr. Murphy. I’m much better now.”After returning home from LA, I had gone to their house to fetch Lucy, but fell unconscious. Mr. Murphy and his wife, Deborah, revived me. Lucy was pregnant with Pilot’s pups, and I had to leave her with them before heading to San Francisco. Now her delivery was due any day, and Deborah didn’t want her moving around.Once better, I went back to my dad’s house next door, but depression, dehydration, and insomnia took a toll on my health. Although Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Dana wanted to help me, I cut myself off from them. I didn’t want to be associated with Josh in any way. After his behavior, even his parents were ashamed of him and respected my wishes.Now, on my own, I would have been critical if Mr. Murphy hadn’t forced me to go to the hospital.“I’ll take care of the discharge formalities.”

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Fifty-Three – Anacá’s Threat

    ErosI landed in Athens the next day and loaded our luggage into my car. My first reaction was to rush over to Josh Hemmingway’s house and confront her. I was sure she had gone there. But my phone buzzed with a message, and I checked before heading towards Josh’s house. To my immense surprise, it was a message from Anacá.I have returned home. Please send me my luggage. You don’t need to visit me. Just send all my stuff from your house. I’ll bear the costs. When I’m better, I’ll come down to work. You can deduct my pay. This is a desperate request for you. Please stay away from me. If you don’t, I’ll seek police protection or commit suicide, and you’ll be the only one to blame. Anacá.I gasped with horror, rereading her message slowly. “F*ck!” I clenched my hands together in frustration. Home? Was Josh’s house her home? Where would I send her the luggage? Mad fury coursed through my body as I glared at the screen. Would she really commit suicide and blame me? Why couldn’t she blam

    Anacá I opened my eyes, but my head still reeled, and I couldn’t get up. Eros straightened and watched me warily. I looked away from his judgmental glare. “What’s wrong with you?” he glared at me instead of helping me. I hoisted myself to the bed, my head still dizzy. With no food in my system since a cup of coffee in the morning, I knew I couldn’t attend the party. Didn’t he realize it yet? The entire day, he disappeared without giving me the apartment address or security code!How could I order something? How could I go out to eat? My phone, too, had drained out, and I realized I forgot my charger at my aunt’s house. With nothing in his apartment, I tolerated the hunger pangs all day. Added to it was the insomnia I was suffering from. Days of sleeplessness had finally taken a toll on my body. He scowled at me suspiciously as I sipped some water. “Are you pregnant?” His jaws clenched with fury while I gaped at him. Had he lost it? How would I get pregnant if he hadn’t released

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Fifty – What Happened To Anacá?

    ErosWe sped down the familiar roads towards my apartment in LA, close to Escapade, an elite club on Flower Street, near Downtown LA. It was my close friend Maddox Laurier’s flagship venture in LA and our popular meeting place. I had always felt a close connection to LA since the day I came here with my dad on a work trip. Meeting the gang had been a coincidence, but we bonded more over the years, and now, they were my only friends. I didn’t make friends easily, but these were an exception, apart from my childhood friend Zion Concorde. With women, it was completely need-based. I hardly spoke to them. It was therefore shocking that I melted so easily to Anacá and her smashing marriage proposal. No wonder I was suffering the after-effects. I should have known she treated me as a rebound. Her heart would always beat for the ass*ole, Josh Hemmingway. It irked me a lot, especially after seeing how his gifts adorned her aunt’s house. It was obvious they meant a lot to her. Ever since my

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Forty-Nine – Where’s His Apology?

    Anacá I stood transfixed to the spot, watching Eros enter with his luggage. He looked so tired, with dark circles around his eyes. But it was the ominous look on his face that made me apprehensive. Why was he angry with me? Shouldn’t I be the angry one here? “What a pleasant surprise, Eros? You gave us a fright. Why didn’t you call to inform us of your arrival?” Aunt Charlene hugged him while I stood watching them, unable to welcome him like my aunt did. “I didn’t get the time to call. I returned from a work trip and came here.” He gave me a scornful look, as if holding me responsible for his hectic schedule. Who asked him to come here? He could have enjoyed himself at his house with his wh*res. “Oh, do you want dinner?” Aunt Charlene led him to my bedroom before I could stop her. “No, thank you, Aunt Charlene. I had it on the flight. I’ll just sleep. Sorry to bother you so late in the night.” He followed her with his luggage, totally ignoring me. I just waited for Aunt Charlene

    Anacá I unloaded the grocery items from Aunt Charlene’s car and carried them inside the house. “Oh, you’re here already. Did you get a discount?” asked Aunt Charlene as she made dinner for us. “Yes. Only 10%.” I dumped everything on the kitchen counter, and Aunt Charlene checked them. “I’ll freshen up and join you.” I walked away to my room absent-mindedly. It had been almost two weeks since I had left Eros. Apart from the few missed calls and messages, there had been no contact from him. I was too hurt to respond to his calls or messages earlier. But now, my heart and mind felt hollow. I was living like an automaton, doing things I was told to do. It seemed I had left my heart and mind in Athens. Eros didn’t care. He hadn’t even bothered to know where I was. Aunt Dana and Uncle Jeremy were the only ones who cared. They didn’t let me travel alone after seeing my condition. I could hardly walk. Thankfully, they didn’t ask me a single question and escorted me to Aunt Charlene’s ho

    ErosI fixed him a steely stare, not believing him at all. “Her car is here. So stop the act, Hemmingway.” My insides were on fire, and my hands itched to throttle the guy. Who was he bluffing?He gave me a twisted smirk. “Yes. She parked her car here and left with my parents. Search the house if you don’t believe me.” Of course, I didn’t believe him. I knew Anacá had nowhere to go. I grabbed his neck, leaning towards him menacingly. The smirk disappeared from his face, and he looked a little scared, gasping for breath. “I don’t f*cking believe you. I’ll definitely search the house.”“I’m not lying. She has left you forever!” The smirk was back, and I tightened my hold on his neck. A feeling of dread coursed through my body now. What if he was right?“Oh, really? I know her. She can’t.” I released him and shoved him aside to barge into the house. I would find her at all costs. She was my legally wedded wife, and she couldn’t hide from me for long. I somehow had the feeling Josh Hemmi

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Forty-Six – Where Is Anacá?

    ErosDad closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Enriquez is mentally unstable. From birth, he has been suffering from several impulse control disorders. When he was young, he resorted to bullying and stealing. Then it was bullying and alcohol. With therapy, we got rid of his illnesses, but he started gambling. No amount of therapy could help him this time. We tried to get him off gambling, and he developed schizophrenia. In the last twenty years, it became worse, more so after he went bankrupt. He stopped his treatment, and now he’s usually lost in a world of hallucinations. Dad and I had taken care of him since the day he was born. I promised dad I would take care of him all my life. I couldn’t break my promise now, Eros.” I sighed, feeling distressed. “Will you take care of him even after knowing he has killed grandpa?” Dad sighed and shook his head. “He hasn’t killed Dad.” I gaped at him for a minute. “What are you saying, Dad? Uncle Enriquez has admitted to his crime. He had
