He has a very strong sense of responsibility to his family. This loyalty should take precedence over personal feelings.

A jerky laugh escaped Mira's dry lips as she found herself blindly studying her feet. Suddenly, she was so thankful she hadn't repeated her claim to be Dimitri's sister. She dreamed of Jacob being tied to her with a rope out of respect for her brother's last wish. He called it a "matter of honor".

She cringes at the degrading notion but retains a tinge of curiosity. "Are you really saying you're going to marry a stranger and stay married to her just because Dimitri asked you to?" she asked.

"I'm married to a stranger— it's just that with every minute I spend with you, you become more familiar and yet more unfamiliar," Jacob confessed, shaking with sudden ferocity.

"I don't understand you—unless I understand you, I won't be satisfied!" Mira took a step back. She didn't even look at him. She had learned this defense, but it wasn't working now.

    At first glance, her bones seemed to be melting under the skin. He came to her, limp, dark, and naked, and her heart skipped a beat as her inquisitive gaze swept over his impressive, powerful body. Her eyes widened in surprise, seeing his bold and powerful masculinity, and she immediately ran over out of breath, the double attack of fiery color and panic attacked her, her curiosity was satisfied, and she ran away again completely instinctively.Jacob rolled over so quickly that she found herself trapped under him, a position that made her all the more aware of what she had decided to avoid. "Baby—" he said through gritted teeth, looking down into her anxious, evasive eyes. "I wish I smashed Sheldon's face. What the hell did he do to you in bed?" "Nothing!" "I'm not going to hurt you just relax." Jacob stroked her nervous skin. Compressing her soft, full mouth,The golden eyes shone on her body, hypnotizing her, making her fall into stillness. "I bet he's never heard of foreplay. Ev

    "Be my guest," Mira turned around again, feeling lonely like never before. She had thought she knew Jacob, but now she knew she didn't know him at all. She didn't know why he behaved like this. She didn't know what was going on in his mind. Self-loathing boiled over her slender frame. Well, that's what you get when you sleep with strangers.After lying down for hours, Mira finally fell asleep tiredly at dawn. Just after nine o'clock, the sound under the window woke her up. Workers are gathering to repaint the roof. She took a shower and used the profusion of luxurious new towels with indifference, and though she wondered where Jacob slept, she despised her concern.She went downstairs past a closed door and heard Jacob's voice and the ringing of the phone. She kept her mouth shut as the maid ushered her into the dining room. Breakfast had been served, but Mira had little appetite. She was finishing her coffee when Solen appeared, smiling behind a large bouquet of flowers. "Forgiv

    He sat in the swivel chair, and she pressed against him, his hands wandering under her baggy T-shirt, skimming the smooth, tight skin of her chest, looking for the raised hillock above. When he touched her bra, he moaned in frustration into her red mouth, deftly unbuttoned it, and covered her bare breasts with his hands domineeringly. The intensity overwhelmed her in a wild, shuddering reaction.If she stands up, she falls down. Jacob ran his hands through her tousled hair and pulled her away from him, his breathing coming short and hard. The phone kept ringing and the fax machine was still making paper-spitting noises. A hint of unease brought his winged ebony eyebrows together. For a moment, he closes his eyes, as if fighting for control, a muscle tenses at the corner of his sensual mouth.As his thumb rubbed against the sore, erect pink nipple, Mira shuddered and gasped as if in a force-ten wind, and she lowered her forehead to his lush hair, torn from need, weak be like water.

    Sheldon makes a deliberate U-turn in the colored vehicle. "I've always promised myself to take a vacation. The moment you said you were in Castiglio, I saw the sun, water, and the sand and I realized where you had to be. From there, it was just a matter of studying the map." As he drove down the steep mountain road at the crawling speed of a fear of heights, holding the steering wheel painfully tightly, rounding each zigzag corner with ease,Mira thought about Jacob feverishly until she was dizzy with tension. Bang! He stole her peace and security. And what did he give her in return? A terrible sense of inadequacy and self-loathing, and an unreliable temper like an active volcano. "If you are threatened by Jacob, please yell." Just last night, he told her that she had a fight with him and wanted to arrest him! He's seen inside of her and understood something that she didn't understand herself, and it's horrific.She should have known she was in love with him the moment she found her

    The powerful car stopped in the yard. Jacob turned off the engine and turned to look at her, black eyes as hard as jet in a vibrantly handsome face. "When you lose your temper with Sheldon, your mood can turn bad. He is your security blanket and I think you are old enough to live without him. Times have changed, don't try to tell me differently, baby. What you want now is me—"Forever, and always, she thought horrified, clutching at the depths of her own vulnerability. She wants so much more than she hopes to achieve. Jacob held up a strong hand and gently tucked a handful of colorful spirals between his fingers. He lifted her brooding face, subjecting her to the onslaught of his stern scrutinizing gaze. "I want you," he said with great succinctness. "So what's the problem? In my opinion, this is a simple and completely straightforward relationship."Mira held her breath, almost drowning in the evocative scent of him being so close, and a flurry of small reactions made her dizzy an

    "I know what I'm doing, Sol." "How can you say that? There's no peace in Castiglio. We're all crawling around the house—no smiles, no laughs. That wonderful delicious food—He said if he didn't finish another meal, he'd leave!" "Jacob is very bad-tempered." "Having a wife who works all day in the garden, he has a reason. You're neglecting your husband." Not in her dream, she didn't."He thrives on neglect." Sol gritted her teeth disapprovingly, shook her head, and got up to leave. "You're as stubborn as he is." Mira regained her energy and continued weeding. If her brother looked down on her and Jacob now, she knew he would blame her too. But from the moment Jacob asserted that if she were related to Dimitri, he would feel obligated to maintain a married relationship with her, Mira decided not to try to use that as a basis to attract and keep him.After successfully seducing her into bed, Jacob candidly admits that his only interest in her is sex.

    "Change it." Mira pleaded sincerely, and hurriedly avoided him and walked towards the house. "I'm going to take a shower." "See you upstairs," Jacob said softly. She froze and then understood what he meant. He had to change, and although he slept in the bedroom opposite to her, half his clothes were in the closet in her room. Her head was still spinning. One kiss and she's gone without a trace, and Jacob can do anything to her! No wonder he was laughing!She was his and he knew it. A taxi was already waiting in the courtyard, and when Mira entered the hall, a maid was leading a man with a briefcase into the living room. The man stopped for a moment and almost looked at Mira in surprise. Then, just as suddenly, his piercing black eyes veiled nodded politely and disappeared from her view.Mira looked curiously at Klaud standing under the stairs. "Who's that?" "Mr. Delrama's lawyer." No doubt the man was staring at her because she looked horrible in her gardening attire it wasn't a

    Raw triumph flashed in his glistening eyes. He ran slowly, looking for his fingers in the pouty mound he had bared for fun. As his thumb brushed the stiff pink bud approaching him, she gasped and stood up against him, every nerve ending in her body screaming in response. He pushed her to the ground with passionate kisses. She kissed him back with desperate urgency, everything she had suppressed for so long.Endless days suddenly betrayed her in a possessive storm. Her hands ran over his body, smoothing the warm golden skin that encased the whiplash muscles, and she let out a hungry moan of impatience. "You're always in a hurry—" Mira writhed and squirmed, on fire wanting him, without a semblance of self-control, not even remembering. Her fingers gripped his thick, silky black hair, and she moved her legs in an invitation to pain more blatantly than words.With a sharp groan, Jacob reached for her hips and pulled her under him. Then he hesitated. "I don't want to hurt you anymore."

    Clara clear all doubts and misunderstandings!"Where are you going?" Jacob asked big-sister Clara."This is just an in-flight visit to clear up misunderstandings. I will come back to see Castiglio next time. By the way, Mira—"Mira raised her head nervously. Clara laughed again. "Your brother managed to convince his mother not to sell the family painting with the house. I'm glad to see them hanging where they belong."***"Clara can run in circles," Mira muttered as the limousine disappeared from view. "She was mopping the floors with us." Still in shock, she started back indoors. Then it dawned on her: Clara knew everything. There's no need to pretend anymore, and there's no need to wait for a divorce any longer. Suddenly, Mira's lower limbs struggled limply through the swamp like toothpicks. Clara removes the artificial boundaries formed by their relationship. They are running out of time. "How can you tell her our marriage is fake?" Jacob angrily condemned. "Do you really thin

    Mira took a step back, frustrated by the bodyguard's barely concealed hostility. He hesitated, apparently determined not to insult Jacob for his assistance during her stay. From the door, she glanced back."Things are not what you think." She said helplessly. "I shouldn't be thinking about anything, Mrs. Delrama." But there was accusation about him, his usual quiet friendliness chilled by what she believed to be a fiercely defensive loyalty to Jacob.It's only when Jacob is in this situation that he realizes that Jacob is too damn manly and proud to want her around him, which prompts Mira to go back to her room. She lay in bed and watched the dawn break. He was really upset, he must have been drunk. Mira tried very hard to understand. Hadn't she herself betrayed Dimitri's trust in the same way? She agreed to marry Jacob only under duress,If she had known what their fate would be in the morning after the ceremony, she would have run a thousand miles. Jacob wasn't trying to disinher

    "I don't hate anyone." But Mira is still ashamed because she remembers her resentment against his legal family reaching explosive proportions before her brother's death, only that was when she met Jacob and Clara and before she let herself face reality."Dimitri doesn't love anyone," she pointed out sternly. "He never stopped loving Clara. Even if he knew about me, I think Clara knows this and that's why she never gives him a choice." "You didn't give me a choice either," Jacob reprimanded bitterly. "You let me continue to think that you slept with Dimitri. Even though you know this belief breaks my heart, you keep me believing it!""I keep telling you we're not lovers, but I know it's pointless! The only possible explanation for Dimitri's will is the one I've come up with." Jacob's eagle-like profile was frozen with suppressed emotion, and he gave her a sharp look."But I must admit that I cruelly and cynically misjudged Dimitri and did everything in my power to shirk the responsibi

    But not just in the moment when she revels in the fact that he can't take his eyes off her. Mira was awakened by the thunderous slam of the door. She blinked confusedly in the light and stood up against the pillows, looking vaguely at Jacob, standing at the foot of the bed, shirtless except for a pair of faded skinny jeans hanging down over his thin hips. There was a gentle smile on her lips. He looks so magnificent, he always looks so magnificent,She could even forgive him for accidentally waking her out of a deep sleep for the first time in days. Vicious black eyes stared at her fiercely. Mira froze in amazement, her smile gone, her abdominal muscles tensing. Waves of seething tension emanated from Jacob. "What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice."I'm hungry. I got up to get something to eat and on the way down I started wondering what was so important about these documents that my lawyer felt the need to fly over and put them in my hands himself and if they were worth that much.
