Being labelled as the mystery woman that had publicly rejected a billionaire and being hunted down by reporters hadn’t stopped from making her escape to Emma’s. A quick shopping spree with the ever stylish Emma had her buying the sexy red number that accentuated her curves like second skin and a pair of killer heels; the straps of which went up to under her knees.

Dexter picked up his vibrating phone and almost rolled his eyes at the name on the screen. "Will, don't you think it's too early for this?" He asked sarcastically, allowing himself to savour the beautiful view before him.
When her back hit the bed, more butterflies danced in her stomach. She felt giddy with anticipation as she faced him with wide, curious eyes. Slowly, he took his glasses off and tossed them on the bedside table, his eyes still glued on her with a very determined look on his face. He pushed the sheets Anelia had put on the bed to the floor and slowly slid back over her.Anelia was su
Anelia tried her best to act like she wasn't a huge ball of nervousness as the uber wheezed to their temporary place of residence which Dexter had described to her in small detail at some point. Any normal person would have been quite eager to hear about everything, yet here she was worrying about how the night was going to end.This was a perfect time to call Emma, but then again s
Anelia gulped hard when he locked the door. “Safety precaution,” he spoke lowly, discarding his towel on the floor. “See, I truly was going to let you be and keep my distance; at least for tonight. I was going to be good even though my restraint was wearing thin.”He took a step forward. “But then, there’s you. You keep doing these things that mak
Anelia didn’t know how but somehow, she had managed to keep up with Dexter’s stamina. He had definitely not lied when he told her that he didn’t want to do cute with her. The other day he had left for one of his business expeditions and left her to keep herself entertained.She had immediately engaged in a photo-taking spree and simply lazed around, munching
“So what you’re saying is that she’s the representative for the project?” He asked one more time, eyeing his brothers with a dead-serious expression. They both nodded their heads, their faces now looking somewhat sombre. They waited with their hearts in their mouths for the news to sink in because one thing was for sure, the topic was a salty one for him.Dexter’s face got even harder and he became silent. He gulped down the wine and sighed. “I’m sorry to break it to you now but we didn’t know you would be coming back with her,” Dave apologised sincerely. “We just didn’t think that you would have appreciated to find out about this much later.”“So, your mutual associate told you about this? Does he know her personally or is positive that it’s her?” Dexter asked coldly, nothing close to th
“Dexter!” Mr Burkley greeted him once he spotted him around the corner from the front yard. His house was built miles away from the city right inside the wild because he had a thing for privacy and of course, the environment. It was a two storey house with a beautiful garden in the back and tall eucalyptus trees that had climbers running up their trunks to provide for a thick border around the house. Dexter remembered once coming over with his father when he was younger and playing near the pond in the heart of the garden, but those days were long over and now, he came with more pressing matters.Dexter tried to keep his face neutral as he got closer to the older man, who had been his father’s friend and still kept contact with the Black. “I never thought that I would ever see you step o
Anelia tried to calm her heart as much as she could. There was this had this anxiety that wouldn’t subside. She rubbed her chest as of that would somehow aid in relieving the horrible feeling. A shaky breath of air left her lips as she sat with her legs folded on the couch that was now her favourite; the one that faced the entrance.The night before Dexter had only managed to come back and pack a small bag with a few of his clothes, kissed her goodbye and flown out to Italy. Such was the life of a businessman and it certainly took a lot to get used to. But, the problem wasn’t the normal way he lead his life but what she had watched on the news. A private jet had reportedly crashed on its way out of Italy and accord
