LOGINAnna blinked, her lashes fluttering as she looked at Aiden like he had grown two heads as the wordsâWhat⊠what?!â slipped from her lips when Aiden's statement registered in her mind. âYou are joking, right?âAiden looked at Anna's face with a perplexed expression as he demanded,âWhy would I joke about that? I meant every word I said, Anna. From tonight, this will be your home.â Aiden said, cupping her cheek as he muttered, âI love you, Anna, and I'm not taking any chances. Come, let's go inside.âAiden said, taking Anna's hand, but she recoiled from his touch as if it burns, taking hurried steps back, and exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotions,âNo. I want to go home; I don't want to stay here with you.âAiden's heart wavered at her troubled expression. However, after being a mafia boss for five years, he realized if you desire something, you take it by force.âAnna, please, just come in; you will be alright,â he said, walking forward and taking Anna's hand as she shook her he
Anna slowly turned, only to come face-to-face with Adrian. He smirked, his voice menacing as he asked,âDid you miss me?ââAdrian? Whatâwhat⊠are you doing?â Anna stuttered, taking slow steps backward when Adrian began to stalk toward her.âI miss you, babe, and I just want to spend some quality time with you. Alone." Adrian declared and demanded, an emotion Anna couldn't decipher in his eyes. "Tell me you feel the same." âAdrian, I... you are scaring me. This is the women's restroom. Why were you here? Did⊠did you come to spy on women?â Anna asked, stuttering.Adrian frowned, his heart constricting with pain at her words.How could she even think that of him?He wasn't a freak, and he would never stoop so low.He knew she would definitely visit the washroom; that's why he instructed his manager to prevent any woman from accessing the washroom.Even though Adrian was hurt, he forced a laugh, with hurt apparent in his eyes, as he asked,âIs that what you think of me? In your eyes, I
It was a few minutes past 8 p.m. when Patrick made his way out of his office, but he frowned when he saw the light coming from Anna's office. He approached, and there she was, still working. He knocked on the door, and she asked him to enter. âWhy are you still here?â Anna asked him, and he responded curtly. âI should be asking you that. Why are you still here?â âI just thought I could finish. It's left with..." Anna was saying, but Patrick cut her off. âLet's go. I will take you home, and that's final.â Anna didn't even try to object, since he had already decided nothing she said would be taken seriously by him, except anything that involves her well-being. But her words are final when it has to do with the company. Anna closed her laptop and reached for her bag. She circled her desk as Patrick made an after-you gesture with his hand; she smiled and took the lead. ~~~ Trying to lighten up the mood from the suffocating silence in the car, Patrick turned on the radio. However
Adrian was in his car waiting for the traffic light when his gaze moved to the car beside his.His heart skipped a frantic beat when he saw Anna in the car. Her eyes were closed as she rested. âAnnaâŠâ he muttered softly as he watched her through the tinted window of his car.He only snapped out of his trance when the car she was in drove off and the horns of other cars sounded from behind him.He stepped on the accelerator and began to follow the car, making sure he kept a safe distance from her.After tailing her for almost 30 minutes, he saw the car take a turn, and he slowly approached the turn. However, he stopped his car the moment he turned and saw Aiden walking toward the car and knocking on it.His body trembling with anger, he watched as Anna got out and began speaking to Aiden.But then she kissed him.She fucking kissed Aiden.Tears fell down his face as he reached to open the door and go there and beat the hell out of Aiden for touching what was his!But he stopped and re
âIsn't that your jerk ex-husband?â Diana asked, looking at the man she believed to be Adrian. âAdrianâŠâ Anna drawled, her forehead creasing with confusion. âHow did Adrian find me?âBut she shook her head, seeing the tattoos visible on the man's exposed chest, giving him a dangerous aura.âNo, that's Aiden, my ex-husband's twin brother and the one I fell in love with.âAiden steps out and approaches Anna's car.Seeing Aiden walking towards their car, Anna flattened her seat, lying flat, intending to hide, but Aiden, who had already noticed her, smiled.He approached her side of the car window and gently knocked on it when the car came to a stop near him.Anna turned to find him looking at her with an arrogant grin plastered on his face, and she rolled her eyes, frowning at his expression.'How dare he? After abandoning her, how dare he show his face to her twice in a single day?â âWon't you speak to him?â Diana asked, and Anna abruptly sat up, her lips pulled into a pout, and she op
Diana woke up to Harold's manly scent in her nostrils, and his firm arms wrapped around her as he held her to his chest.A profound smile appeared on her lips, but then she recalled the reason why she and Harold made love the previous night.She found out her parents had arranged her marriage when she visited them.That's why she started kissing Harold the moment she returned and saw him in the living room. âGood morning, my love,â Harold said, pulling Diana out of her thoughts. She looked up and smiled, not realizing there were tears in her eyes. âMy love, why are you crying?â Harold asked, cupping her cheek.She hit his hand away angrily and sat up.Harold sat up and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his jaw on her shoulder, and demanded softly.âWas I too rough? Did I hurt you?âDiana shook her head and replied,âNo, I'm sorry I lost it. I know I'm not supposed to be mad at you, but it hurts.â âI'm sorry, love. I will prepare you a hot bath and then apply some oint
