"Good morning, Miss Grant! Breakfast is ready..." Hunts told to me with curled lip. I shot him with a smile. "Good morning!" I went with him. Instead of being awkward, I was amused while observing him. "When did you arrive?" I ask him while shrugging my shoulders. "I just got here from Galla, Miss," he answered calmly. I nodded and turned to the lift. I entered the elevator but he remained outside. "Mr. Grant is waiting for you at the lobby. Enjoy the rest of the day, Miss!" His lips slightly lifted before the elevator closed. I stood there, not believing what I heard. My heart started pounding so fast. I suddenly wanted to make the lift go down faster. The door opened and Sean's face greeted me. "Good morning! This way, please..." he assisted me. I awkwardly stepped in. I can't find any emotion in his face, and it made me nervous. We got out of the hotel, and there I realized, we're walking towa

I FLINCHED when Gabriel spoke beside me. "Go back to your room. I will join you later at lunch ..." he whispered huskily at my ears. I swallowed when he walked away and entered a private room. My heart and my mind was colliding violently in a distressful pain. Even if I want to disobey him, I can't do anything. He's still my boss after all, and one more thing, I don't want to create chaos with Alessandra. I'm sure she's still unaware of Gabriel's real identity so there's no reason for me to be nervous. "Let's go, Ma'am?" Hunts snapped me out of my thought. I nodded at him and got out of the conference room. He led me into the elevator up to ny suite. "I received an order from Mr. Grant. Please wait for him an hour from now," Hunts told me. I nodded absentmindedly before closing the door. I walked back and forth in the living room until I was dizzy. I'll wait for an hour? Damn it! There's a lot of things that could possibly happen in th

"How about dinner meeting?" he made a humming sound at the back of his throat and nodded. "Please, Gab, we're not here to play and—" I stopped in my mid-sentence, unable to continue my word when I felt his warm hands on my brassiere. His thumbs brushed back and forth over mine. He even moved closer and observed the movements of my lips. "Say what?" he uttered slow, touching my ear with a deep voice. D*mn! Those little gestures destroyed me. My mind went blank for a moment. I felt naked under his intense scrutiny. I don't know where to pick my tongue because of what he's doing beneath my blouse. "How about Alessandra?" Her name escape from my mouth like an acid. I noticed his expression changed at the mention of that name. His jaw clenched, lips forming into a straight line and looked at me with grimace. I know I can't change his mind easily and tell him to choose me just because I confessed that I'm his real wife. And I know th

THE AIR was thick with the scent of coffee. I wrapped my long fingers around the mug and took a small sip. Ellwood was seated right next to me while Gabriel is in front. I don't know if the silence was because of the coffee shop's ambience, or because of the tension between the three of us. "Ah, I didn't expect you to be here tonight..." I shrugged a bit to lessen the tension between us. "It took quite a time. I needed to go back to the seaport to ship my car into the cargo ship." I furrowed my brows, "You brought one of your cargo ships?" Ellwood just shrugged his shoulder and took one sip of his coffee. I turned to Gabriel, his full attention was on the mug, but his expression was dark and protruding. "You're just wasting your money for this nonsense trip, Ellwood!" I spat out. "Of course I'm not! You're much worth than my money..." he chuckled sexily as he lowered his head to look at me. I pushed out my red lips just

My eyes widened as I raked my eyes on him. He's not wearing his shirt, I don't know what he's wearing underneath the comforter that hugged us both."How was your sleep?""Y-you slept here last night?!" I don't remember letting him stay here!"Wait, I actually couldn't sleep last night. I was awake all night long..." he chuckled sexily.Damn it, I bit my lip hard. Gosh, did I slept soundly last night that I didn't even remember anything?"I don't remember letting you stay here." I averted my eyes and was about to get off the bed when he suddenly pulled me back to lay down."What the fuck, Ellwood!" My breathing hitched, I'm really panicking right now. His dominant action and his strong muscles pinned me hard against the bed.I slowly felt my cheeks heating as he hugged me. Damn you, Ellwood. You're fucking crossing of the line."You're very tired last night. You slept in my arms so I carried you to your room... And I decided to sleep here with you because you
