All Chapters of Don't Mess With DRACO: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Alexa's POV “Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. A package arrived at the reception for you.” Julia, my personal assistant, said and placed an envelope on my desk. It was around 5 p.m. when I checked the time, releasing a sigh. I took the envelope and looked at it. I have been expecting this package for a while now. I stared at the thick envelope, thinking about what brought about the need to hire a private investigator to tail my husband. I know my husband has been there for me ever since I was diagnosed with cancer, but I always had a feeling he had been hiding something from me. You can say I'm paranoid, but his actions led me to make this decision. Tell me why my husband would always come home late with the smell of female perfume on him. Even when he came early and was around, it was like he was doing everything on autopilot without any emotions. I also needed to make sure my husband was not up to anything for suggesting I transfer ownership of my shares to him. I know I agre

“Daniel, I'm tired. I want to sleep. Let's talk tomorrow, okay?” I said calmly, fearing what he would do if I provoked him again. Daniel looked at me, his face searching if I was sincere. “Okay, let's talk tomorrow.” He made a gesture to kiss my cheeks but caught me off guard, kissing me on the lips. I had never felt so disgusted by a kiss. I shoved him off with all my might, but he wouldn't bulge. I began to panic when he pinned me to the wall, his hands moving under my nightgown and touching me. No! He was going to take advantage of me. I bit him and slapped him hard across the face. “Don't touch me with those filthy hands, you moron,” I roared and began to struggle out of his embrace. “Don't make me angry, Alexa; you are my wife, and I shall have you whenever I want,” Daniel said menacingly and picked me up, throwing me roughly onto the bed and making me feel dizzy. Before I could come to my senses, he had climbed the bed, hovering over me and pinning me under his body. Tears

ALEXA'S POV I don't know when I fell asleep and had a fever. For the first half of the night, I kept dreaming about when I met Daniel until now. I dreamt about how he changed just a few months after our marriage and how insecure his actions were making me feel until I found out I had cancer. He changed for a while, but it didn't last long. He was always busy making me suspicious, until I finally hired a private investigator. The scenes kept changing and replaying over and over again until they stuck on the day Daniel proposed to me. Daniel's eyes were gentle as he held my hands, going down on one knee. “Alexa, I know you don't believe in marriage. I know you're already okay with what we have without putting a label on it, but I really can't help it. I want you all to myself. I want to be the one who loves and pampers you. Even if you have an identical twin, I only want you in my life. Please say yes.” I dreamt about the hesitation I felt at the time, but after seeing that all the

DANIEL'S POV 10 hours ago*** I stared through the glass window at the scene outside my office. The weather was beautiful compared to my mood. I was waiting for news from Elena after her conversation with Alexa. I have a meeting around 11 a.m. at Jones Corp and I hope Alexa will have no doubts by then, and she will sign her shares over to me. I looked at the bouquet of flowers and diamond necklace I would give to Alexa on my desk and imagined how happy she would be when she received it. Plus, she would be feeling guilty for not believing my words and would be so happy that I was not making a fuss and still showering her with gifts. A smile broke on my face when I thought about how much more powerful I'd be after I have the Jones Corp. shares in my hands. I checked the time and found it was almost 10 a.m. ‘Why is Elena still not back yet?’ I wondered. I took out my phone to give her a call when a knock came from the door. It was Lawrence Cooper, my pain in the ass half brother and

Alexa's POV I woke up feeling groggy and out of sorts. I felt uncomfortable and tried to turn on my side, but realized I was tied up and gagged. My eyes moved about, and I realized I was still in my room, but both my wrists were bound to the bedpost, and there was a cloth tied between my lips behind my head. Then I remembered what had happened. Daniel did this to me: ‘What did he want to do?’ The thought filled me with dread. I tried to shout, but only muffled sounds came out. “Don't bother shouting; no one would hear you.” I looked up and saw Daniel's cold gaze looking at me from a seat across the bed; his voice sounded dangerous, making a shiver run down my spine. I had not noticed him in my panic. I looked up at the man in front of me and realized how foolish I had been. I didn't even protect myself properly from him; I thought he would not take it so far and let down my guard. After all the years I had spent together with him, I still wanted to believe there were some genuine fe
