Chapter 20

MARIANELLA

I push my fisted hands against his incredibly hard chest in an attempt to push him away, his presence is too suffocating, intoxicating, and completely mesmerizing.

He doesn't pull away and gives no indication that he will, in fact his body moves even closer to mine, causing me to be almost crushed against the wall, with no way out.

I have no idea why this is attractive.

“ Now tell me what you meant by that about my mother “ although it is an order, his tone of voice is very subtle, it almost doesn't sound like he is ordering you.

“ Your mother gave me her consent papers for you to take over the entire inheritance, she did it as a vote of confidence," I say at once, because I want him to let me go, I fear for what will happen if he doesn't.

“ You did it for me, huh? “ his face comes dangerously close to mine “ Tell me why, Nella, why did you risk your neck going to meet my mother behind my back?”

My body receives an electrifying wave that sends messages and energies all over
