บททั้งหมดของ A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

ErosWe sped down the familiar roads towards my apartment in LA, close to Escapade, an elite club on Flower Street, near Downtown LA. It was my close friend Maddox Laurier’s flagship venture in LA and our popular meeting place. I had always felt a close connection to LA since the day I came here with my dad on a work trip. Meeting the gang had been a coincidence, but we bonded more over the years, and now, they were my only friends. I didn’t make friends easily, but these were an exception, apart from my childhood friend Zion Concorde. With women, it was completely need-based. I hardly spoke to them. It was therefore shocking that I melted so easily to Anacá and her smashing marriage proposal. No wonder I was suffering the after-effects. I should have known she treated me as a rebound. Her heart would always beat for the ass*ole, Josh Hemmingway. It irked me a lot, especially after seeing how his gifts adorned her aunt’s house. It was obvious they meant a lot to her. Ever since my

ErosI saw red the moment she hit me. Trembling with fury, I stood frozen for a split second to swallow the insult. I couldn’t react here, but once outside, I would definitely punish her in the worst way possible. She would remember it all her life before lashing out at me! I hated women. Now I realized why my dad had never married. How dare she hit me? I sucked in a deep breath and focused on her, but she had disappeared, taking advantage of my momentary lapse. Where did she go? Wasn’t she here a second ago? I punched in her phone number, only to remember her phone had no charge. Mad fury coursed through my veins as I whirled around and retraced my steps back to our table in the VIP section. But Anacá was nowhere in sight. So she hadn’t come back here. Maybe she had gone to the apartment. “Maddox, can you help me?” I motioned to him to follow me outside, and he did with a frown. I walked out of the club, searching everywhere. Yet there were no signs of her. How did she vanish so

Anacá“You’ll be discharged today, Anacá. Are you feeling better now?” asked Mr. Murphy, my neighbor. After a day in the hospital, I really did.“Yes, thank you, Mr. Murphy. I’m much better now.”After returning home from LA, I had gone to their house to fetch Lucy, but fell unconscious. Mr. Murphy and his wife, Deborah, revived me. Lucy was pregnant with Pilot’s pups, and I had to leave her with them before heading to San Francisco. Now her delivery was due any day, and Deborah didn’t want her moving around.Once better, I went back to my dad’s house next door, but depression, dehydration, and insomnia took a toll on my health. Although Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Dana wanted to help me, I cut myself off from them. I didn’t want to be associated with Josh in any way. After his behavior, even his parents were ashamed of him and respected my wishes.Now, on my own, I would have been critical if Mr. Murphy hadn’t forced me to go to the hospital.“I’ll take care of the discharge formalities.”

Eros“This is against our company rules. No female employee should stay back after 9 p.m.” Dad’s stern voice lifted my guilt. So that was what she was here for—to complain about me! I seethed with fury, the guilt evaporating into the air.Dad gave me an annoyed look. “What’s going on, Eros? Why was she working so late?”I racked my brain to think of an excuse. What could I say? I lost my mind out of sheer jealousy and forgot the company rules.Anacá gasped and gave me a nervous look. “Dad, you’re misunderstanding me. I couldn’t complete the work on time. So I stayed back. Eros had asked me to leave, but I need this job badly.”I scowled at her. Was she crazy? How could she complain to Dad about my threat to her?“Why would you lose your job? You’re my daughter-in-law. In fact, you shouldn’t be working as a PA in your company. You should be co-working with Eros in a similar respectable position as a director or GM. What’s going on, Eros?”My jaw dropped to the floor. So that was why sh

ErosI seethed with fury as I stared at my laptop screen. I hadn’t expected Anacá to fight me. So, she didn’t need the job. It was all a fake show to gather sympathy. I wondered who was supporting her against me. The answer was obvious. It had to be Josh and his family. The day my office security called me, I reached the office at midnight, and he informed me about Anacá’s departure. Someone took her away. If my car hadn’t given me problems that night, I would have reached earlier and faced Josh. Anacá hadn’t completed the work I gave her. Obviously, I hadn’t expected her to. But I wouldn’t have thrown her out for incompetence. Maybe I would have just warned her. Now that she had hired an attorney to fight her case, it wouldn’t make me release her. I wanted her to suffer the way she was making me pine for her. I could tolerate anything but not betrayal. If she loved Josh so much, she shouldn’t have married me at all. Now she was dying for Josh. Wasn’t it too late?If she expected
