Dax POVI was glad that I came when I did. There was the man that I had seen weeks ago at the store that Danica had been to. I distinctly remembered him, as he was with the women who had flirted with me.I didn't like seeing the two of them having lunch together. I had to put a stop to this before he made any advances on Danica. No way was I letting anyone lay a finger on her.Danica seemed absolutely shocked to see me. Her eyes were wide and she seemed struck speechless. The man beside her turned towards me and had an unreadable expression.Everyone in the café turned to watch me, but I was beyond caring. My rage was burning inside of me and wouldn't be contained.I only found out where she was by accident. As I happened to be walking by, I noticed Danica had come into this café. I was curious as to who she was meeting, so I decided to come in.In her eyes, there was a pleading of "don't do anything." I wouldn't be able to comply, since I had to take care of her unwanted compani

The following day I started to avoid Dax again. I just couldn't handle another lecture or more words about his precious heir. Why was Dax the most irritating person on the planet?I couldn't believe he had said those things to me. Then he dared to bring up how he wanted an heir for the company so desperately. What was wrong with him? His company meant more than anything else.Why couldn't he care about my personal well-being just for me? I knew it was selfish to think that way, but he was starting to make me want to quit. However, I knew I was stuck with this position until the baby was born.I pushed thoughts of the day before away and wanted to move on. He didn't need to make me in a sour mood yet again. I was going to have a better day and not talk to him at all.After I came downstairs, I noticed he was in the kitchen. I waited until he walked to his office and decided to have a good breakfast.I ate my breakfast while checking to make sure that Dax wouldn't come back. If he w

Over the next few weeks, Dax and I had come to a truce. We weren't butting heads every day and could be civil with each other. I was grateful that I wasn't getting irritated on a regular basis anymore. I didn't need that on top of all of my pregnancy symptoms. I just wanted to get through the rest of the agreement without another hitch. Maybe Dax would just keep everything professional between us. I was trying my hardest to keep things from being complicated again.There was no time for us to get back to what had almost been. I was ready to move on from whatever past feelings I may have been starting to gain for Dax. It was hard to tell if they were lingering deep inside or not.One afternoon was really memorable. Dax sat beside me on the couch and was a little too close for comfort. He looked over at me, and my heart beat a little faster. What was he trying to do? I didn't want to interact with Dax more than was necessary. I wanted to be able to get along but not be too friendly

Dax POVI was tossing and turning while trying to get back to sleep until I heard a distressed sound. It was Danica. She was screaming from her room. Something was very wrong.She sounded as if she was being attacked. I immediately sprang from my bed and ran down the hallway. Never had I imagined that someone would break into the mansion.It was one of my worst fears that Danica would be attacked. My heart sunk at the thought of someone hurting her. I wouldn't let anyone hurt the woman that I still cared for.No wanting to waste any more time, I barged into her room. Danica was surprised to see me. Her eyes were opened wide, and the guy looked caught off guard. I was sure he hadn't expected me to interrupt whatever he had been planning to do to Danica.This man was such a b*stard. How dare he try to make advances towards Danica? It was absolutely repulsive. He shouldn't have done this. But he had made a huge mistake. This man was going to pay for breaking in like this. It was t

I stared at Dax in awe. I wasn't sure what to tell him after he said those words to me. Did he really mean them to me? How could he stay by my side after the baby came? This wasn't mean to be a long-term deal. After I thought a moment longer, I asked, "Do you really mean what you said?""Yes. I mean it with all my heart. I don't want to leave you," Dax gazed into my eyes with incredible intensity.I resisted smiling and carefully climbed out of the bed and gathered up my clothes. Dax looked at me with an unasked question. I knew what he was wondering even without speaking up. He was getting easier to read.He got of the bed and picked up all of his clothes that were scattered around the room. His eyes met mine before he got dressed and headed for his room.I let Dax leave without saying anything else to him. It would just make things worse if I said something that I could regret later. I had to just let him go.How were we going to go on with living together after the night befo
