ACCALIA'S POVDon was upset and to be honest, I knew that I made him angry. I looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was still too damn too early and there was absolutely no way I would be able to go see him at his office, not when the contract stated that I must always stay hidden, I was his anonymous wife. I let out a bored sigh and continued to play with the food on my plate.“Would you like to talk about it?” A familiar voice asked, I raised my head and my gaze fell on Butler Roy. Believe it or not, I came to find out that he was one of the best staff Don had, and judging by his look, it appeared like he had worked for the Donato family for a very long time.I sighed before I spoke, “ No… I don't just get it.”He squinted his brows and stared at me in confusion, “What don't you get, young miss?”“Don? Your boss, He's so difficult to read and understand. How am I supposed to cope with him?” I complained bitterly. I and Don weren't even married properly yet, I mean we
ACCALIA'S POVI got to my family's mansion and got out of the cab. Entering the gate, I received greetings from the workers and I noticed the side glances they were giving each other but I chose to put no meaning into it. I entered the main building and walked into the living room, and just as I had entered my gaze landed on Ken who was sitted there with his legs crossed over the other and he smirked. Him sitting there reminded me of just few days ago when Don had been sitted in that same spot.What was he playing right now? I wondered to myself, why was Ken in my family house?I shifted my gaze to my Dad and I noticed he had a frown on his face while Clarissa was giving me a dirty look and she rolled her eyes as soon as our gaze met.“What's going on? Why the sudden call?” I asked but no one was ready to give me a response. I sighed, I was really in no mood for my family drama today!“Did you or did you not tell Don about your marriage to Ken?” My Dad suddenly asked I was taken abac
DON'S POV“What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked her because I did not understand why she would go back to that house.“What is wrong with me?” she threw the same question back at me.“You know Ken very much and no matter how I try to help you you keep messing up!”“Why didn't you tell me? Huh? Why didn't you tell me you knew Ken? You know, I'm beginning to see this whole thing as a fucking setup! A game between you two, some kind of freaking prank!”“Wow! May I refresh your memory and remind you that you were the one that had walked up to me and begged me to marry you and save you? Even though you and practically everyone knows that I would not be caught dead with a person like you!” I spat out those words so calmly and in such a nonchalant manner. What the hell did he mean by it was all a plan? I would never be Ken Peterson ally, never in a million years would that happen. It seemed like my words had hit her in the heart like a dagger, She squeezed her face like she was feelin
DON'S POV“I do not want to see you."He looked at me then frowned a bit, “You do know that you're talking to your father.” He added but I just walked over to the seat and sat down.“Dad? Why are you here? Clearly, you must have a reason to be here.” I asked avoiding his question.“No respect,” he hissed, then stood up and said, “It got to my notice that you have a young lady whom you intend to marry in your home.” I turned to him, stunned. How the hell did he find out? “How did you know? I haven't told anyone yet?”He lets out a small laugh “You seem to not know your father. I know everything and anything.” He knew everything, but yet he didn't know the culprit behind Maria's death, I scoffed.“Well now you know, what are you going to do about it? Stop the union?” I threw the words directly at him.“Stop you? It's time you had a wife.” He began, “Bring her to the family dinner as well as her father. I would like to know who is this girl."“What? That's not happening. Do not interfer
I sat behind the large, mahogany desk, looking out over the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dressed in a dark suit and tie, looking serious and focused.I read through the stack of documents, as I furrowed my brows in concentration. The door opened as my Assistant, Meg walked in.“Sir there's trouble.” She says frantically, raising my brows at her, I frown.“What do you mean by we're in trouble?”“Redex company is planning on backing out of the Apex deal.” “What! Why would Don do that? Is he aware of the consequences!”"Rhat's not the problem sir, the investors have started calling and demanding a meeting with you sir”“Isn’t Don supposed to be the one receiving this query,” This is one of the biggest fish I have caught in a while and Don is trying to squash it.“Redex wouldn't be affected,” I angrily banged my desk,“That son of a bitch!! What games is he trying to play this time? Taking Lia is not enough now he wants to take my company down?” I turned to Meg,“Se
DON'S POVI was seated in my office when Julia walked in with a small smile.“Sir he's here” I already knew who she meant,“What a coward”. I cursed under my breathe as I said to her,“Let him in.” She left and shortly he walked in looking like a ghost of his former self,*You look horrible, Ken.” I tried to humor him, but he shot me a glare,“You're happy, right?” He asked as if he could strangle me,“You should have a sit and let's discuss the Apex deal,” I said feigning Innocence,“I am not here to banter words with you, I want you you out a call across the Apex clients and inform them you're seeing this deal to the end!” I frowned,“Is that an order?” I asked with a light scoff, then smirked,“You and I know you're going to lose a lot if I back out. So what's with the charade?”“First it was Accalia, now it's my company you're dreadfully after!”“Mr. Peterson, that should be a solid reminder that no one messes with Don and goes Scott free. See this as a punishment for what you did
ACCALIA'S POVIt was the next morning and as usual, Don had gone to work, although I had to go back home to invite Dad, Clarissa, and the ever-annoying Max over to dinner, I picked up my cellphone to call Bentley but her line was not going through and I wondered if she was busy or something. A knock came on my door and Enzo walked in.“Why are you here?” I asked him, he had been with me all day and the sight of him was nauseating me right now. I was tired of being watched twenty four seven. It was like I was a prisoner here, I mean I get Don telling me that I'm under house arrest but I did not know that he had actually meant it.“ The Young Master said I should accompany you home.” Came his response, and smiled at me.I wondered if Don loved attractive people around him, because Enzo was really good looking, he was also a complete talkative if you gave him the chance.“Why is that? I can take care of myself." I said and fold my hands around my chest in defiance.Enzo scoffed and gave
ACCALIA'S POV“Accalia?” He called. I immediately frowned, Took a deep breath and then said to him, “I only came because Don asked me to,” I said standing next to Nanny Maria. I held her hands not letting go.The door opened shortly, Max walked in, this time sober, but he looked like one who hadn't gotten any sleep throughout the night.“What are you doing here? Thought you left?” He says carelessly falling to the bed,He looked closer, “Oh, Nanny Maria's here. What a pleasant surprise.” Everyone looked at him, he was a disgrace, while Clarissa saw her son as the most perfect. I rolled my eyes then finally said.“You're invited to the family introduction dinner at Don's father's House by 9 pm,” I said,“Santis Donato? He is inviting us to dinner?” Dad asked, I'm sure he had been dying to breathe the same air as the business tycoon but hadn't gotten the chance. Well, he was wrapped around Ken's fingers and tossed about like a doll.“I have to go”“Wait! “ Clarissa called, making me
