Anacá's POV

I 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 I hadn’t even reached the main roads when my steering wheel pulled slightly to the left, followed by a low rumble. A rhythmic flapping sound followed, and soon I was struggling to control the car. It was a flat tyre, but how? I changed it last month. With a sigh, I pulled over to the shoulder, turned on the hazard lights, and stepped out to inspect the damage. Sure enough, the front left tyre had deflated completely. It was frustrating since I had to reach the hospital right away. Just then, the Ford Puma stopped right behind my car, and a middle-aged man emerged. I scowled at him, wondering what he wanted from me.“Hello! Need help?” He smiled at me, but I frowned at him. The man’s presence made me uncomfortable. Hadn’t he been following me from my house? I had never seen him before, but there was something familiar about him. “No, thanks. I can manage.” I massaged my temples since I had used my spare tyre last month and hadn’t bought a new one yet. “Can I drop you somewh

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Seventy-Three – Forgiven Him

    Anacá Eros reached me and dropped to his knees before I could realize his intentions. A gasp of surprise escaped my lips. What would he do now? “Please forgive me, Anacá.” He hung his head with tears in his eyes. My heart melted, and I forgave him totally. This time, it was heartfelt, and I felt overwhelmed by the depth of his repentance. I leaned to his level and helped him to his feet. “I have forgiven you, Eros. Please don’t cry.” He gave me a dazed look, his eyes unfocused. Was he even listening to me? Didn’t he hear me? “Please forgive me, Anacá,” he repeated deliriously as I helped him to the bed. “I have forgiven you, Eros.” He hardly acknowledged me and tumbled onto the bed, his eyes hooded and closing. I opened his shoes and unbuckled the belt before he dozed off. “Anacá, don’t leave me.” Tears stung in my eyes, and I nodded. “I won’t.” My throat felt too choked for words. I could feel his pain, and it was much more than what I felt. Why didn’t I realize it before and

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Seventy-Two – A Disastrous Day

    Anacá Andrea was fast asleep, and I walked around the resort alone. This wasn’t what I had expected from this trip. I had wanted to talk to Eros. In the evening, I went for a walk on the beach with Lucy. The sun had set, and the refreshing air calmed my nerves. Yet my heart ached for Eros. Why did he bring me here if he wanted to ignore me? When I went back to the resort, they had returned from their trip. “Where were you, Anacá? Get ready. We’re going on a dinner cruise,” said Andrea as she tended to the twins. I could see Zion on the porch, busy with a phone call, but there was no sign of Eros.“Oh, I’ll be ready in five minutes.” I dashed into my room, hoping to see Eros there, but he was nowhere around. Where could he have gone?There was chaos outside when I went out later. The twins were excited to go on a cruise, but they wanted their pets as well. Zion and Andrea reasoned with them, but this time the twins won. They bundled the pets out to the car, celebrating all the way.

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Seventy-One – Our Last Time Together?

    Anacá Despite the way we parted last night, I couldn’t contain my excitement this morning as I waited for Eros to pick us up. Lucy was bursting with excitement too, checking our luggage all the time. I was too tired to pack last night, but I was glad I did. Maybe my heart would forgive Eros on this trip, and we would get back together like before. But he had been losing his patience lately, and I feared he would repeat his behavior if we got back together. Maybe my heart couldn’t trust him yet. A car stopped outside, and I rushed to the window to check. Yes, it was Eros in a sleek Land Rover. My heart skipped a beat as his eyes sought me out. How did he know I was peering at him? Lucy pranced all around, crazy with excitement, and I opened the door. His eyes swept over my denim short-clad legs, over the sleeveless red top to my face. I could see the appreciation in his eyes, and butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I just hoped he didn’t upset me again. “Ready?” His eyes held my

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Seventy – Sudden Dinner Plans

    Anacá I trudged back home after another hectic day at the bakery. It was another day without Eros. For the last few days, I had been living a robotic life with no reason to smile whatsoever. Eros hadn’t contacted me or come over to see me. Had he forgotten me and moved on? Although it should have made me happy, it didn’t. I felt a nagging fear, a restlessness clutch at my heart. What if Eros gave up on me? Yet I couldn’t force myself to forgive him. It should be spontaneous, right? Forgiveness should come straight from the heart. Then why couldn’t my heart forgive him? A movement behind me made me conscious. Was it the bodyguard? I turned to check, but there was no one. Maybe I had imagined it. The sun had set, and I hurried to get Lucy from the Murphys’ house. These days, nothing made me happy, not even working at the bakery or Lucy’s antics. My mind was always alert, my eyes searching for Eros while my ears strained to hear his footsteps. It had been almost ten days since I had

    ErosThe fear in her eyes dampened my spirits. Did I destroy her trust in me? I would have to regain it if I wanted a future with her. Yes, I still wanted everything with her. There was no other for me. I planted a kiss on her forehead and retreated to my side. “Go to sleep, Anacá. I won’t force myself on you ever again. That’s my promise to you.” She nodded and released a staggering sigh. “Good night.” I watched her turn her back to me to feign sleep. She dismissed me, and I lost another chance to make it up to her and touch her soul. But I couldn’t do this forcefully. I needed her readiness to accept me back into her life. Maybe I would wait for her forgiveness, even if it took me forever. I was doomed to live a loveless life. For years, I had waited for my mom. Now, when I had almost given up hope, I found her. It was a dream-come-true moment for me, as Theia was the only one in this world I had loved unconditionally for thirty-one years. It was stronger than my love for my dad.

    Anacá “You can borrow my clothes, Anacá. They’ll fit you fine,” said Theia, and I nodded. Clothes weren’t the primary concern for me now. I was more worried about putting up the act of a perfect wife for his family. I just hoped Eros wouldn’t take advantage of our situation. “Okay. I hope they arrest Behrakis soon. I’ll return in the morning to handle my bakery and Lucy.” Eros scowled at me as if he had expected me to stay here forever. “Until the criminal gets captured, you can’t step out of here, Anacá. In the morning, we will get Lucy and your belongings.” He walked away with a grim look on his face. Although I wanted to argue with him, I had to control myself in front of his parents.“Relax, Anacá. I’m sure the situation will improve soon. Eros is stressed. I think we should lie low for a few days for our own safety,” said his dad. “Yes. Get whatever you need tomorrow and stay here for a few days.” “Yes, Theia.” I had intended an hour’s visit, but now it had stretched ind

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Sixty-Seven – Forced To Stay With Him

    Anacá Tears streamed down my cheeks on seeing the video Eros had sent me. I was in two minds now. While my heart melted, my mind didn’t. I wanted to forgive him, yet something prodded me to end this reckless alliance. What if he didn’t change his ways? What if he hurt me again? After starting a family with him, it would be impossible to walk away without emotional baggage. I wiped the tears away. Maybe I was better off alone. Eros might repent now, but he could misbehave again. When his dad had done it for thirty-one years with his mother, how could I trust him? With two days left for his parents’ wedding, I was apprehensive about meeting Eros again. What if he had a lot of expectations from me? I couldn’t live up to them. I had lost faith in him and in our reckless marriage. Maybe I shouldn’t have proposed that day to Eros. My mom was right. A marriage without love never lasted long. Lucy licked my hand to comfort me, and I cuddled her close. Deborah had given away the other pups

  • A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss   Chapter Sixty-Six – A Heartfelt Apology

    Eros“Stop whatever you’re trying to do, Eros. My decision remains unchanged. I don’t care if my life is threatened. I refuse to live with you under the same roof.” She gave me an annoyed look, and I sighed helplessly. “I’ll sleep in my office if that makes you change your mind and come home.” Stopping the car in front of her house, I turned to look at her. I could do anything to make her return home. “This is my home, Eros. You blew everything up with your behavior. Nothing in the world will force me to go down that path again. I don’t care about Silas and his threat. He can kill me if he wants. I have nothing to live for.” She opened the door to leave, but I caught her hand to stop her. “It’s okay if you don’t want to forgive me. But at least let me protect you from Silas. I don’t want him to abuse you the way he did to mamá. Please, Anacá, come to your senses. This is a serious threat, and my house is better protected than yours. I promise not to bother you.
