Aneesa’s pov

The wind on the mountain peak was really cold and it was blowing my hair over my face. Below us the city was like a map with lots of lights and shadows but I was only looking at Darius, the man standing right next to me. I had just asked him a question. Now the whole atmosphere had changed.

I was watching Darius's face. I saw how his smile from a minute ago disappeared. We were talking about nothing, like our favorite colors and lemonade stands from when we were kids and now his fa

  • Her Revenge Wore A Wedding Ring   Chapter 67

    Anessa’s povI stared at Sarah, my fork suspended in mid-air. Her words weren't an accusation; they were a death sentence in a house as volatile as the Steele manor.I started to feel hot, not from being ashamed. From a growing anger I didn't know I had. I wasn't the girl who had married into this family anymore. I was a Steele by name and by temper."I'm going to give you five seconds to watch what you say Sarah," I said, my voice cold and sharp. I leaned forward, my eyes locked on hers with a stillness that made her flinch. "I am married to Darius Steele. Incase you’ve forgotten, I am his wife. That means whatever ideas you have in your head, scrap it before I destroy you. Got it?”She wasn’t backing down as she burst out laughing."Oh that's rich. That's all you can say? After you spent the morning with him in his car? After Darius showed you off to the team like a prize yesterday. You think because you wear a suit and his ring that we're all blind? I saw the way you looked at Karl

    Anessa’s povSoon the smell of the flowers lost its appeal as I frowned looking at the card with the letter on it.My heart was like it was pounding against my ribs.Darius had just told me that Karl was a person who used peoples feelings to get what he wanted. Then I saw the flowers. They were a sign that Karl was involved in my life now.I got really angry all of a sudden. The fear was still there. The anger was stronger. I did not want to be a part of their game. I did not want Karl to trick me while my husband was away.I was done playing with the men in this family. First Julian, then Darius and now Karl. Oh I was so done.I took the card from my desk, crumpled it up, the walked out of my office.My high heels were clicking on the floor as it sounded like gunfire. I did not care who saw me. I had to end this foolishness.I got to Karl's office and I did not knock. I just opened the door and went inside. Then I closed it quietly behind me.I turned to see him sitting at his desk a

    Anessa’s povThe lights in my office were really bright. They made a humming noise that was getting on my nerves.I had a lot of papers on my desk like these leather folders with the quarterly logistics reports for the shipping routes in sub-Saharan Africa. It was about numbers and abbreviations and to be honest it was hard for me to make sense of it all.This was far different from what I had dealt with in Julian’s office but I wasn’t going to give up. I had to at least try.I rubbed my nose in exhaustion then leaned back in my chair. I was about to look at a complicated spreadsheet about insurance for ships when my phone rang. It was loud, shattering the silence in the room.I picked up the phone on the second ring and I was smiling a little even though I was stressed out as I knew who was calling. "Hello?""Anessa," Darius said, his voice was deep. "How are you? I have been thinking about you since I got on the plane."I turned my chair around. Looked out the window at the city. "I

    Karl’s povIt didn’t look like she believed me and who could blame her. Someone as hot as me was bound to be seen by others as a playboy and by God I wasn’t going to refute such terms.“Listen,” I sighed, looking over the top of my glasses at her. “My brother is over the Atlantic. I am staying in the house. I am a Steele. We have a reputation for being kind to people. And she is not just anyone but my brothers wife. Do you want me to abandon her like I don’t care?”She did not move. Her eyes were narrow, "That is not what I mean Karl and you know it. I am not talking about the ride. I am talking about the way you were looking at her when you got out of that car."I walked into the elevator with her and when I got to the top I headed to my office before turning slowly, leaning against the edge of my desk. I crossed my arms. A slow smile cominh across my face. "How exactly was I looking at her? Tell me. I was not aware I had a way of looking at family members.""Do you think I am a fool

  • Her Revenge Wore A Wedding Ring   Chapter 63

    Karl’s povThe morning air was cold. It bit at my cheeks. It made me feel alive. I watched Anessa standing there. Her ivory suit looked really nice. It was like she was saying "I am not afraid of you". She looked like a queen. I saw a little bit of uncertainty in her eyes. But I liked that.I stood by the door of the Bentley, trying to look relaxed with a comforting smile as I gestured for her to get in. I knew what Anessa was thinking. She was thinking about whether it was safer to be with Darius or with me."Karl," she said. Her voice was steady. I could tell she was being careful. "If I get in the car I have one condition."I tilted my head. My sunglasses slipped down my nose. "One condition? You are being very kind. My brother usually has a lot of rules.""I am serious," she said. She started walking to me. "One condition. You have to promise me you will not do anything. We are going to the office. That is it. No funny business."I held up my hand. I was pretending to surrender bu

    Anessa’s povThe moon was a hook in the sky shining down on the dark water of the pool. Karl was sitting in a lounge looking down. He did not seem like himself, but like something was bothering him. He looked at his drink then at me and his eyes looked sad.“Where do I start?” He muttered, taking a sip of his drink before leaning towards me. "You think my brother Darius is a good guy, a strong person. You think he built a company on what… What did he build it on Anessa?”I didn’t say anything as he continued.“He built it on hurting the people he was supposed to care about."I felt uncomfortable, my robe making a sound as I moved. "Karl if you are just trying to say things about him…""It is not bad if it is true," he said, cutting me off, his voice really soft. "When we were kids Darius was not my big brother. He was like a guard. Our father was not a man, he was mean. He wanted us to be like machines, not kids. While I got in trouble for not doing well in school Darius was the one w

    Aneesa’s povWhen we were done eating, he drove me back to the office, and our ride back was filled with silence. The only thing that I could listen to was the music playing in the background, but even at that, my insides were burning with anger.This man had done things that I had not expected fro

    Aneesa’s povI sat in the car in silence, feeling my anger build up within me, but there was nothing I could do. My hands were tied. All I could do was feel bad for Matt.“What’s on your mind?” he asked.I scoffed, looking out of the window. “You punish an innocent person, and then you ask me what’
