All Chapters of HIS ACCIDENTAL FIANCÉE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Alexander Blackwood’s office was larger than Elena’s entire apartment. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city, where headlights moved along the roads like streams of light. A dark desk stood near the windows, its surface so clean that Elena wondered whether anyone actually worked there or whether the furniture was simply for decoration. Alexander shut the door behind them. “Sit down.” Elena looked at the two leather chairs facing his desk. “Which one is less likely to cost me three months’ salary if I accidentally damage it?” He stared at her. She sat in the nearest chair. “Good choice,” he said, walking behind his desk. “I thought so. I’m trying to make excellent decisions tonight. Saving your life was apparently only the beginning.” For a moment, his expression almost changed.

You're not the one who's going to become the neighbourhood's biggest mystery.” She

My answer is still no.”“Your current accommodation is temporary.”“And I'm grateful for it. But I have a home, Mr. Blackwood. I'm not going to abandon it because your building has developed a talent for attempted murder.”Daniel, who stood near the office door, lowered his head.Elena suspected he was hiding a smile.Alexander placed the document on his desk.“Your sister is arriving shortly. I'd prefer both of you to stay somewhere with reliable security until we understand the situation.”“And I agree with that. What I don't agree with is moving into your house.”“Why?”She stared at him.“Have you e
