LOGINHe leaned back confidently, the glow from the lights catching his grey eyes. “But if you ever want something simple,” he said, “something that won’t demand feelings or promises. Something free. Fun. Uncomplicated.” I swallowed. “Like what, exactly…” He leaned forward again, eyes never leaving mine. “Like being each other’s fuck partner,” he said calmly… like it was the most natural proposal in the world. *** Raised by a single mother abandoned by love, Annabelle Brown vowed to save sex for marriage. Until the night she caught her boyfriend cheating, and his reason—no relationship can last without sex. Heartbroken and furious, Anna walked into a bar… and into the most outrageous proposal of her life. *** Alessandro Miller wanted nothing complicated. Scarred by a loveless home, he swore off marriage and emotional attachments. All he wanted was simple: sex, no feelings, no future. *** Against everything she believed in, Anna said yes to Alessandro's proposal. Their rules were clear: No emotions, no personal questions, no strings. Until months later, when Anna walked into a conference room and saw him—the same man she'd been sharing her weekends with, now standing at the head of the company board as the CEO. Worse, Alessandro was the heir to a powerful family… and already promised to another woman. Bound by duty, divided by power, yet consumed by desire, neither of them could walk away. He was her partner in sin. Her boss. And the one man she was never supposed to fall for.
View MoreAnna's POV After Adam was arrested by the police, Alessandro led me to his car and we drove away. Luckily, I had evidence of Adam threatening and blackmailing me which I hoped would be enough to keep him away from me.Alessandro also promised to make sure he paid for his crime behind bars.I was exhausted. A lot had happened already. But above all, my heart was filled with gratitude. When I ran to the gate and saw it locked, with Adam glaring his beastly teeth at me, I knew I was trapped. I knew there was no way anyone was coming to save me. But Alessandro had surprised me. Appearing right when I had lost all hope and saw no way out. The fact that I thought he'd been mad at me for days now yet he still showed up made me emotional. I swallowed, tears welling up in my eyes. “Here, drink some water.” He offered.I took it and mumbled “thank you.”Then I stared out the window. At everything yet at nothing. I could not bring myself to think of what could have happened to me if
Alessandro's POVI stormed into my office, grabbed a bottle of water and downed it in one gulp. Seeing Anna's face had reawakened the rage I thought I'd locked away. I was boiling inside. Could barely control it.I had clearly seen her beside the photocopying machine as I walked past. But I pretended to have not. When I heard Tina asked her to deliver the documents I requested to my office, I didn't know what possessed me and I immediately demanded a different person. As I walked away, I could feel her confusion and sadness. I knew she must be feeling like I was betraying her. But to God, I wanted to tell her everything. I wanted to tell her why I was so angry at her, why I wanted to kiss her so hard until her lips became red and swollen the other day…But thinking about it alone maddened me the most. I stood behind my office window, several thoughts running through my mind. Then I saw it… Anna flagging a cab down.She looked like she was rushing somewhere.It was just like t
Anna's POV “What?”“My… ex b-boyfriend…” I swallowed, instant terror knotting in my belly. Adam had met him. That bastard had met him. God. “Still pretending huh,” he scoffed, his eyes narrowing with thick irritation. “I… what did he say…”Fuck. God, I should have known…When he suddenly started demanding for our contract to end… when the look in his eyes changed…I should have known that the jerk had met him.Alessandro had always said he hated two timers. Now he would think of me as one because I had no idea what that jerk must have told him.“Excuse me.” He shot me a distasteful look, grabbed his phone from the desk and started out of the office. As I watched him strode towards the door, my brain rebooted. What exactly did Adam say?How much did he tell him?Without waiting to think or figure it out, I dashed after him.“What did that jerk say to you?” I blocked his way, my chest panting hard. “You shouldn't listen to him please…” I said, looking into his eyes, my heart
Anna's POV Ever since I overheard Frank saying Alessandro wasn't feeling well, I was concerned. So many times I thought of reaching out to him via a phone call or maybe even sending him a text message like he did….But I couldn't. Not now. The thought that Adam could be watching from somewhere to find me with him scared me.He'd only seen the contract but he wouldn't know who the other party was unless he saw me with him. And God, I wouldn't give him that pleasure. Before 8am the next day, I was at work. “Early to work today again?” Kiara grumbled as she settled into her desk. “Couldn't sleep?” I asked, noticing how tired she sounded. She nodded, yawning. “I had the most amazing night party of my life…” then she paused, her eyes turning to me.“I partied all night… What's your own reason?”“For…”“Jeez, what have you done to your beautiful face? You look like a panda!”“What did you do the entire night? Thinking about a man?”I grabbed the small mirror on the desk.“Holy shit,”
Anna’s POVChrist!I couldn’t believe myself. I fucking couldn't believe I did it with Alessandro. Right in his office!God, if Frank hadn't helped, by now everyone in the office would have been talking of how I spent hours in the new CEO’s office flirting with him!They would probably call me Lit
Alessandro's POVFrank.Shit. Anna's eyes flew wide open. “Someone's at the door?” she gasped.“My personal assistant.” “Shit. What do we do… I mean what do I do…”“Relax, there's no need to panic—” I tried to calm her.But it only infuriated her the more. “No need??? You have no idea.”Before
~Anna’s POV~That was when it happened—our eyes jamming at the same time.Before I could say Jack, we grabbed each other… in a fierce kiss. Breathless. Urgent. Demanding.Alessandro’s hands roamed all over my body, setting my entire pores on fire.It was as though we were both thinking the same
~Alessandro~“And yup, you are starting work ASAP. I’d have to introduce you to the board members first. Of course, Mom already wrote a handover—”“Just hold on…” I dragged in a heavy breath, and for a moment, I hoped it'd be enough to rest my head because I didn't understand what the heck my sist
