A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss Prologue
Anacá DuVernay's POV“Why are we here, Anacá?” My best friend, Jessica, looked around the jewelry store we stepped into. She had no idea what was going on in my mind. It was something I hadn’t shared with anyone yet, not even with her. “I’m buying a ring for Josh.” I browsed through the collection before us, ignoring the jaw-dropped look on Jess’s face. Josh Hemmingway was the one my dad, Charles DuVernay, had chosen for me to marry. Although I didn’t love him, I had accepted him reluctantly. With my dad’s health slipping day by day, I had no choice but to keep him happy. He was the only family I had after my mom, Ana DuVernay, passed away four years ago. I didn’t want him to suffer a third cardiac arrest, as it would surely be fatal for him.The sales attendant catered to my low budget and showed me a few options. I chose a sapphire one for Josh, not because he loved blue, but because it was the cheapest. Jess came out of her trance and grabbed hold of my hand. “Don’t do it, Anacá

AnacáIn an instant, he grabbed my hand and pulled me up while his eyes held my gaze. I drowned in his hypnotic orbs, his touch causing my heart to skip a beat. “S-sir?” Josh’s startled cry brought me out of my dazed state and I broke the eye contact. Who was Josh’s sir? I turned to see the pale look on both Josh and Jordynn’s faces, and realization dawned on me. Was this man their boss? My first reaction was to flee, but with his iron-like grip on my hand, I couldn’t even budge an inch, let alone flee. “Is this what you do in my absence? Lunchtime was over five minutes ago. Where’s the weekly report for the Calligaris Project, Mr. Hemmingway?” My cheeks burned with embarrassment, realizing my folly. What had I done? I had proposed to my cheating boyfriend’s boss in front of the entire office. At that moment, I wanted the earth to open up so I could jump in and never emerge again!“Sir, I was about to report when Anacá arrived...” His boss held up his hand to stop his banter. “I

AnacáI tried hard to get a grip on myself. I was sure Eros could hear my heart pounding in its cage, ready to explode. “What?” I swallowed and straightened my spine to face him with confidence. All I needed to do was apologize for my mistake and escape. But sitting opposite to him, with his hawk-like gaze pinned on me, taking in every move of mine, I lost my mind. My eyes swept over him. He looked even more handsome in the sun-kissed restaurant than he did at his office. High cheekbones, a perfectly chiseled face, and full lips that could tempt an angel to sin. The way he filled out his suit made me imagine what kind of perfect body he was hiding underneath. “We can go over to my place if you need privacy.” His voice was laced with amusement, and for a moment, I felt he was playing a game with me. It brought me to my senses, and I focused my eyes on his face instead. My eyes widened, realizing what he had just suggested. I had to correct him right now. “No, I’m not interested. I m

Anacá The moment I opened the door, my dad stormed in with an annoyed scowl on his face. I stepped back and watched him warily. Did he know what I had done? What would I tell him if he asked? Obviously, I would be honest with him. I couldn’t entertain Josh’s request and hide his fault.“So, you’re here. We have been waiting for you at Jeremy’s place.” He scowled more as he went straight to the living room. “Since when have you become so irresponsible, Anacá?”“No, dad. I..” Before I could think of an answer or close the door, another car stopped in our driveway, and Josh’s parents emerged. My mouth hung open, realizing what was in store for me now. How would I face them? What would I tell them?Picking up my phone, I quickly typed a message to Josh.Your parents are at our house to grill me. I’ll be totally honest.–Anacá.My phone instantly pinged with a reply from Josh. It didn’t look like he was focused on his job.Don’t tell them about Jordynn. It’s an urgent request–Josh. I roll

Anacá My dad was still in his room, and I trudged over to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Even after an hour, when Dad didn’t emerge, I was worried. Was everything fine? He never slept so much when his favorite match was going on.I went up to his room and peered in. Thankfully, he was still lying on his bed. I walked over to his side to see him breathing hard with beads of perspiration on his forehead.“What’s wrong, Dad? Are you feeling unwell?” My heart constricted with panic to see him in this condition. It seemed my worst fear was coming true.“I can’t breathe, Anacá.” His choked whisper brought me out of my daze, and I picked up the phone to call 166 for an ambulance.“I’ll take you to the hospital, Dad. Please hold on. Nothing will happen to you.” Tears of helplessness stung my eyes. It was the same situation I had faced before. No, I couldn’t break down. In five minutes, I was ready when the doorbell buzzed.I rushed forward to open the door. The pre-meds had arrived, and I le

Anacá The door opened, and Josh strode in with a smile, immediately making me wary. Why was he in such high spirits when I was dying a slow death here? He turned to wait for someone outside the door, and I peered out to check who it was. Had he brought Jordynn along with him? It would be such a tremendous insult to my dad and his parents. But mostly, it would be an insult to me.However, instead of Jordynn, it was none other than Eros Nikolaou who walked up the porch and into the house!The moment he came in, his eyes held me captive. I gasped with horror as his fiery gaze burned through my skin. He seemed furious with me, as if I had committed a crime. My glance fell on his finger, and my heart stopped for a second. I could see my sapphire ring still on his finger! I couldn’t breathe. My eyes went up to meet his angry, brooding gaze.However, Josh seemed unaware of the chaos he had invited. Why did he? Couldn’t he just speak to his parents instead?There was a shocked silence all ar

Anacá I was still in a daze after Eros left. All the guests had their dinner and left after an evening of enjoyment. It was torture for me to answer their questions. Jess helped a lot, and I could see she was struggling to restrain her curiosity in front of so many guests. I got busy with Dad, although he tried hard to show he was normal.“It’s time for your medicine, Dad. Let’s go to your room.” Uncle Jeremy helped me escort Dad to his room. Ever since Eros left, I felt too embarrassed to face Josh’s parents. They might be so disappointed in their only son. He vanished without giving them a clue about his plans, embarrassing them in front of their friends and relatives.Jess left the room while I administered the medicines to Dad.After she left, Dad turned to face his best friend and benefactor. “I’m sorry for the way things turned out, Jerry. It wasn’t what we had planned, but maybe that’s what the children wanted. Please don’t be upset. I’m sure Josh will choose a nice girl for h
