Anessa’s povHe didn’t flinch as I gulped hard. What was he trying to find?He smiled, folding his arms as he stood up straight with the bulge in his shorts becoming more prominent.I felt a flash of fury not attraction. I looked down at him with disgust before looking at his eyes. My voice was shaking with anger."You are disgusting," I said. "Cover yourself. Get out of my sight.""Julian is my nephew, Anessa. Did you think I wouldn’t know?”"Know what?" I asked in anger.“The Steele family is a circle of secrets, " Karl said, his voice smooth. "I’ve been watching for a time. You look exactly like Julians first wife, Elena. It’s uncanny. Like a ghost walked back into the manor and married the uncle."The comparison felt like a slap. "I am done, " I hissed, stepping toward him. "I am done being compared to a ghost! I am done being measured against a woman I’ve met once and wished was dead. I am not Elena. I am not like her at all. Do you hear me?"Karl’s expression changed. For a mome

Karl’s povThe morning air was cold. It bit at my cheeks. It made me feel alive. I watched Anessa standing there. Her ivory suit looked really nice. It was like she was saying "I am not afraid of you". She looked like a queen. I saw a little bit of uncertainty in her eyes. But I liked that.I stood by the door of the Bentley, trying to look relaxed with a comforting smile as I gestured for her to get in. I knew what Anessa was thinking. She was thinking about whether it was safer to be with Darius or with me."Karl," she said. Her voice was steady. I could tell she was being careful. "If I get in the car I have one condition."I tilted my head. My sunglasses slipped down my nose. "One condition? You are being very kind. My brother usually has a lot of rules.""I am serious," she said. She started walking to me. "One condition. You have to promise me you will not do anything. We are going to the office. That is it. No funny business."I held up my hand. I was pretending to surrender bu

Anessa’s povThe lights in my office were really bright. They made a humming noise that was getting on my nerves.I had a lot of papers on my desk like these leather folders with the quarterly logistics reports for the shipping routes in sub-Saharan Africa. It was about numbers and abbreviations and to be honest it was hard for me to make sense of it all.This was far different from what I had dealt with in Julian’s office but I wasn’t going to give up. I had to at least try.I rubbed my nose in exhaustion then leaned back in my chair. I was about to look at a complicated spreadsheet about insurance for ships when my phone rang. It was loud, shattering the silence in the room.I picked up the phone on the second ring and I was smiling a little even though I was stressed out as I knew who was calling. "Hello?""Anessa," Darius said, his voice was deep. "How are you? I have been thinking about you since I got on the plane."I turned my chair around. Looked out the window at the city. "I

Anessa’s povI stared at Sarah, my fork suspended in mid-air. Her words weren't an accusation; they were a death sentence in a house as volatile as the Steele manor.I started to feel hot, not from being ashamed. From a growing anger I didn't know I had. I wasn't the girl who had married into this family anymore. I was a Steele by name and by temper."I'm going to give you five seconds to watch what you say Sarah," I said, my voice cold and sharp. I leaned forward, my eyes locked on hers with a stillness that made her flinch. "I am married to Darius Steele. Incase you’ve forgotten, I am his wife. That means whatever ideas you have in your head, scrap it before I destroy you. Got it?”She wasn’t backing down as she burst out laughing."Oh that's rich. That's all you can say? After you spent the morning with him in his car? After Darius showed you off to the team like a prize yesterday. You think because you wear a suit and his ring that we're all blind? I saw the way you looked at Karl

Aneesa’s povThe silence in my office was really fragile; it felt like it could break at any moment. I was still sitting in my chair, my fingers touching the edge of the vase Karl had sent me. The silence on the phone with Darius was different, it was heavy. Felt like it was going to explode."Darius please," I said, my voice barely loud enough to hear. "You are in London, you have a meeting to save. I have everything under control here. Sarah is gone and the cafeteria is back to normal. I am back at my desk. Just focus on your work, do not let this distract you.""It is not a distraction, Anessa , it is a security problem," Darius said, his voice sounded angry. "My brother is good at waiting and planning. He does not do everything at once, he takes his time. You think you have it under control because he is letting you think that. I do not like you being in that building with him while I am away."Someone knocked at my door. It was not a regular knock. My head jumped. Through the gla
