A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Ten- The Most Crucial Part
Anacá's POVI watched him lean towards me. With his hand holding mine and tugging me towards him, I didn’t know what he was planning to do. I gave him a hesitant look as his lips drew closer to mine. My heart stopped for a minute as I waited for him to claim my lips before everyone. With pin-dropped silence in the chapel, I was sure my heartbeats could be heard loud and clear.Unable to control my heartbeats, I closed my eyes and waited. A feathery peck at the corner of my mouth was all I felt, and we were announced as man and wife!I opened my eyes in confusion. Was that all? He pulled me out of the chapel and waited at the backside to greet the guests one by one as they left. Afterwards, they all gathered and threw rice at us, as was customary. I noted the tears of happiness in Dad’s eyes and smiled back at him.We left the church premises and entered the main building. With my heart pounding in my chest, I was still in a state of daze. Was it over? Where was he taking me?“Congratu

Anacá's POVEros’s rebuff rang in my head. I understood there was a lot hidden beneath his charming exterior. He wasn’t what he portrayed. Then why did he marry me?I wanted to revolt. Did he think he could get away with that? He hadn’t bought me. I was in this only for my dad. Or with all his riches, Eros Nikolaou could go fu*k himself! As if sensing my thoughts, he tightened his grip around my waist, plastering me to his side like before.I didn’t want to be paraded like a plastic trophy wife, but one look at my dad’s smiling face made me give in. I could do anything to make him happy.Eros introduced me to his extended family. There was his father’s younger brother, Enriquez Nikolaou; his wife, Delphine; and sons, Victor and Amadeus, who glared at us as we greeted all the guests. It didn’t look like they were happy with our union.The other family was Damian’s. His mom, Odessa, was Eros’s aunt, his dad’s older sibling. It was difficult to understand her as she pulled me into a cust

Eros's POVI glared at Lydia, wrenching my hand free of her hold. “Stop pursuing me, Lydia. I’m a married man.” I was tired of her tagging along wherever I went. It had nothing to do with love. She was after my money and the luxurious life I could offer her. But I wasn’t one to be fooled by her lies. Unknown to her, I had seen her with Victor entering a hotel room while still claiming to love me. It had brought me to my senses. The bitch was desperate to get into our family.“It makes no difference to me, Eros. I know you don’t love her. You’re gonna sleep around, anyway. Then why not with me?” She gripped the lapels of my tuxedo to pull me towards her.I eased her grip and shoved her backwards, this time not gently at all. She staggered on her heels and glared daggers at me.“You’re wrong, Lydia. I’m planning to stay true to my wife. I’ve stopped sleeping around. Anyway, you disgust me. I know your secret little rendezvous with Victor at Hotel Imperial Plaza. Does it ring a bell?”He

Anacá's POVHe lunged forward and grabbed my hand before I could reach my room. I was seething at Lydia’s insult. I hadn’t expected him to disappear with the bitch at his wedding. How could he do that to me? Shouldn’t he have ended his affairs before marrying me? “There’ll be no annulment. We’re married, and we’ll stay that way. Don’t make me force you, Anacá. You know nothing about my life. So stop overreacting to someone else’s venom and get ready to leave for Paris with me.” I glared at him, trying to yank my hand away from his hold. “I’m not going anywhere with you. You can go f*ck yourself on your honeymoon.” Lydia’s words echoed in my head. Do you think he can stay true to you even for a day? He sleeps with every woman available, changing them like he changes his clothes. Get a grip on yourself. He only married you for the business. His grandfather has screwed him before dying. He won’t get the family business in his name if he doesn't marry and produce an heir. He would hav

Anacá's POVHe watched me while I tried hard to ignore him. “Why didn’t you marry Lydia?” I had to know some answers now. Maybe if I could engage him in a discussion, he would forget all about our wedding night. Couldn’t he feel the se*ual undercurrents between us? How was he still so composed and indifferent? How could he just sit there and stare at me when I was going crazy? “She repulses me, that’s why.” I delved deep into his eyes and instantly knew it wasn’t all. There were more reasons.“And I don’t?” I held his gaze, and he winked at me, forcing me to look away. “Who said you’re repulsive? I can show how much I want you.” He chuckled at my jaw-dropped reaction while I shifted away from him. How did he always steer the conversation towards unsafe grounds? I understood his sexual implication but acted aloof. It was the most arduous task, for I wasn’t as unaffected by his sex appeal as I showed. “No thanks. So, what’s the real reason for not marrying Lydia?” He rubbed his chin

Eros's POVThe car sped towards our hotel while Anacá closed her eyes and rested her head on the backrest. I watched her warily. I hadn’t expected her to put up a fight at all. Her innocent face was misleading. I had dreamed of joining the mile high club with her on our wedding night. It was the perfect plan, but she preferred discovering the skeletons in my closet instead. Even after my lengthy explanation about my motive, she gave me a wary look. Was it so difficult to understand I had no ulterior motive? I was a persistent guy who could never take no for an answer. I wanted her and got her. Now I wanted her naked and pinned under me. I would work harder to achieve that, no matter what.The car entered the chic Champs-Élysées neighborhood and stopped right on the hotel premises. Before I could wake Anacá up, she opened her eyes. “Have we reached?”“Yes. Go back to sleep. I’ll carry you.” I leaned in to carry it out, but she jumped as if I were a stranger. “What? No. I can walk. Th

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“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.”
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Thirty-Six- Suspicious
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,
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Thirty-Four - Learning To Trust Him
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
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Thirty-Three - Anacá Proves Herself
ErosRelief washed over me at the sight of my wife in my office. She didn’t flee or bear a grudge against me professionally. She left home to shoulder her responsibilities. Despite having judged her wrong, my heart swelled with pride. Anacá had proved me wrong. She had proved herself. I knew I had made no mistake in choosing her as my PA.“Emergency? Why didn’t they inform me?” My eyebrows pinched together at her explanation.“They did. Your phone was muted, I guess.” She roped in the technical team to explain the situation in brief. “It’s taken care of. You can start your meeting anytime.”The door opened, and Maria from the Marketing team peered in. “Mr. Young has arrived, sir. Shall I escort him here?”“Yes, we’re ready to start.” The technical team walked out, leaving me with Anacá.“Umm, I’ll go to my office, then.” She gave me an indecisive look.“No. Stay here with me. I need you.” I watched her cheeks color at my double-edged words. “To record the minutes of the meeting, obvio
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Thirty-Two - A Misunderstanding
Eros I gazed at her beautiful face, so close to mine. If I dipped my head a few more inches, I could get a taste of heaven. Her lips were beckoning me to continue where we had left off. And then she licked her lips, her nervous gaze dropping to mine. I lost control. “Anacá,” I whispered her name almost like a prayer. “Yeah?” There was a shyness in her eyes that made my stomach tighten with arousal. I knew she wanted the kiss as much as I did. “Let me complete what we started earlier. I can’t sleep.” I could see the hot flush creep up her body, staining her cheeks and neck. It made me warm too, and my co*k responded instantly. “And what do you want to complete?” She tried hard to appear calm, but her hot breath came in gasps while her heart thumped wildly against her chest. I could feel every breath, every beat distinctly.Was she inviting me to do more than just a kiss? I leaned closer, and she gasped with surprise. “We can start with a kiss and see where it goes. Hmm?” “Okay.”

AnacáThe moment the door closed, Eros smiled at me, waving the document in the air. “I’m the happiest man alive tonight. Can you believe it? Dad has finally signed his business over to me. I never expected this day to happen so soon. And it’s only because of you, Anacá.” My jaw dropped to the floor. What? Didn’t his dad threaten to disown him if I didn’t leave him? Then how did this miracle happen? “I’m sure this has nothing to do with me, Eros. It’s your hard work that has paid off.” Maybe his dad didn’t have the heart to disown him. I was sure it had nothing to do with me. “I disagree. Dad had come prepared. If he disliked you, he would have shown his disapproval. He wouldn’t have transferred the business to my name. Instead, he would have asked me to get rid of you. He’s quite stubborn and difficult to please when you try. Surprisingly, he liked you at first sight.” He looked so excited, I couldn’t burst his happy bubble and tell him about my interaction with his dad. It was an
A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Chapter Thirty - His Father’s Offer
Anacá Dinner was bearable after his dad’s little reminder. I could feel the power he wielded over everyone present here, including Eros. After dinner, he declined the dessert I offered him. It hurt me, but I preferred hiding my feelings. “Dad has diabetes. He stays away from sugary treats.” Eros leaned in to whisper. It cheered me up again. I was glad Eros cleared the misunderstanding on my part. “We’ll leave, bro. Are you staying?” asked Uncle Enriquez. “Yes. I want to talk to Eros. You can go ahead. Eros will see you off.” They left, and Eros went downstairs to see them off. I felt acutely aware of his dad’s shrewd eyes watching me intently. “Come here, Anacá. I wanted to talk to you.” He gestured towards the opposite couch, and I complied. I wondered what he wanted to discuss with me. We just met, and he didn’t like me.” “Yes, Mr. Nikolaou.” My heart pounded in apprehension as I waited for him to start. Somehow, I had the feeling this wouldn’t be pleasant. “Look, I know yo
