last update Last Updated: 2025-04-19 23:10:48

Anacá's POV

He lunged forward and grabbed my hand before I could reach my room. I was seething at Lydia’s insult. I hadn’t expected him to disappear with the bitch at his wedding. How could he do that to me? Shouldn’t he have ended his affairs before marrying me?

“There’ll be no annulment. We’re married, and we’ll stay that way. Don’t make me force you, Anacá. You know nothing about my life. So stop overreacting to someone else’s venom and get ready to leave for Paris with me.”

I glared at him, trying to yank my hand away from his hold. “I’m not going anywhere with you. You can go f*ck yourself on your honeymoon.”

Lydia’s words echoed in my head.

Do you think he can stay true to you even for a day? He sleeps with every woman available, changing them like he changes his clothes. Get a grip on yourself. He only married you for the business. His grandfather has screwed him before dying. He won’t get the family business in his name if he doesn't marry and produce an heir. He would hav

    Anacá's POVHe watched me while I tried hard to ignore him. “Why didn’t you marry Lydia?” I had to know some answers now. Maybe if I could engage him in a discussion, he would forget all about our wedding night. Couldn’t he feel the se*ual undercurrents between us? How was he still so composed and indifferent? How could he just sit there and stare at me when I was going crazy? “She repulses me, that’s why.” I delved deep into his eyes and instantly knew it wasn’t all. There were more reasons.“And I don’t?” I held his gaze, and he winked at me, forcing me to look away. “Who said you’re repulsive? I can show how much I want you.” He chuckled at my jaw-dropped reaction while I shifted away from him. How did he always steer the conversation towards unsafe grounds? I understood his sexual implication but acted aloof. It was the most arduous task, for I wasn’t as unaffected by his sex appeal as I showed. “No thanks. So, what’s the real reason for not marrying Lydia?” He rubbed his chin

    Eros's POVThe car sped towards our hotel while Anacá closed her eyes and rested her head on the backrest. I watched her warily. I hadn’t expected her to put up a fight at all. Her innocent face was misleading. I had dreamed of joining the mile high club with her on our wedding night. It was the perfect plan, but she preferred discovering the skeletons in my closet instead. Even after my lengthy explanation about my motive, she gave me a wary look. Was it so difficult to understand I had no ulterior motive? I was a persistent guy who could never take no for an answer. I wanted her and got her. Now I wanted her naked and pinned under me. I would work harder to achieve that, no matter what.The car entered the chic Champs-Élysées neighborhood and stopped right on the hotel premises. Before I could wake Anacá up, she opened her eyes. “Have we reached?”“Yes. Go back to sleep. I’ll carry you.” I leaned in to carry it out, but she jumped as if I were a stranger. “What? No. I can walk. Th

    Anacá's POVI closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet floral fragrance. It seeped into my soul and expelled the sadness that had gripped my heart since morning. On seeing the duvet and pillow on the floor when I woke up, I felt guilty. Did Eros sleep on the floor because of me? Jules informed me he hadn’t eaten a thing since morning. It made me feel even guiltier. I had proved to be a horrible wife to him so far. Was he repenting his decision to marry me? With his looks and wealth, he could have married anyone. I should be thankful he chose me. After all, it saved me from marrying Josh and made my dad happy. That was what I wanted, right?Did he really have no motive for marrying me? I didn’t know what to believe. My heart softened a little towards him after last night. I hadn’t expected him to restrain himself. Heck, he even slept on the floor, respecting my need for rest! With his notorious reputation, it was a feat indeed. I had seen him struggle to restrain his urges. I had felt t

I hadn’t expected him to catch me. Now what will he do with me? “What? I was going to the washroom.” I sucked in a deep breath to act aloof, as if I hadn’t unleashed the beast inside him. I had no idea why I did it. Now it was too late to regret. “Escaping to the washroom is more accurate. Don’t you think? I won’t let you escape. It’s time to face the consequences, my dear wife.” He seemed to rub it in my face that I was his wife. “What consequences? I was, umm, just joking.” I eased out of his hold and ran for dear life to the bedroom. “Anacá, get back here. Fine, this makes my work easier. I won’t need to carry you to the bedroom.” He rushed after me, and I squealed with fright. “Shh! Do you want the security here?” I ran to the far side of the bed. “Yes, I’ll scream the place down. Stop it, Eros. Okay,

    Anacá I closed my eyes in a state of panic. What would he do with me? “Please, I’m exhausted. I want nothing to do with ice creams ever again. I hate it already,” I rambled as he dropped me on the bed and stared at me. “What? I hate this, you, and ice cream.”His expression changed into something I couldn’t fathom. What did he have in mind? He almost looked snubbed by my lack of enthusiasm. It might be an everyday occurrence for him, but I wasn’t comfortable having s*x with a stranger. Eros was still a stranger whom I was compelled to marry. His reputation didn’t help at all. Would he dump me if he knew I was a virgin with zero experience? I watched him awkwardly, admiring his good looks. His angular jaw, straight nose, sun-kissed skin, and hazel eyes were to die for. Not to mention his sculpted body that had already turned me on, yet I couldn’t imagine giving my virginity to him, married or not. He picked up a tub of vanilla ice cream and scooped up a speck, still holding my gaze

I was impressed with his setup after a tour of his head office and shopping center. With all the luxurious brands housed under a roof, I was eager to see them on my cruise ships, too.“How long will that take?” I glanced at my phone. It was almost lunchtime and yet there had been no message from Anacá. Did she wake up?“Almost four hours.”My phone buzzed with an incoming call from Josh, and I frowned. Why was assh*le calling me? Was he jealous that I married his ex? I wanted to avoid his call, but my mind was indecisive. If it was about my office, I would have received a call from my inefficient PA, Freya Adams, or my GM, Gordon Mitchell. Then what was it about?“Maybe the next time. If you’ll excuse me, I need to take this call, Mr. DuPont.” I rose and walked out of his office to accept the call. It disconnected, and I called back, swallowing the sense of dread

Why weren’t we going to the hospital where dad was admitted? He drove on towards Josh’s house and parked his car. “Come on.” He opened the door for me, but I stormed out towards the front porch. I wanted nothing to do with Eros Nikolaou. If anything happened to my dad, I would break all connection with him. He followed me and rang the doorbell. In my disturbed state, I had forgotten to even knock. The door opened and Uncle Jeremy gave me a haunted look. “Oh, you’re here. Come inside.” He led us inside while my eyes sought my dad. He usually sat in the living room recliner here in Uncle Jeremy’s house. It was his favorite place. But today, the recliner was vacant. There was no sign of my dad. “Where’s dad, Uncle Jeremy?” I saw Aunt Dana come into the room, looking shattered. “Sit down, Anacá,” s

    ErosIt has been three days since I started stalking my wife like a lunatic. What options did I have? She wasn’t taking my calls or responding to my messages. I had no idea what she had in mind. The messages I sent through Hemmingway went unanswered. It seemed they, too, didn’t want us to unite. Were Josh’s parents instigating her against me? Obviously, they had a motive. After Josh and Jordynn’s breakup, they would surely want Anacá to be their daughter-in-law. More so now that they knew about our marriage. Only they had no idea I wasn’t letting my wife go. I would never give Anacá a divorce or an annulment. Ever since the funeral was over, she had hardly stepped out of her house. The only time she did was to walk her dog. It bothered me since she hardly went to the convenience store to replenish her stock. Yet I couldn’t reach out to her. If the dog wasn’t with her, I would have stormed in and whisked her away with me. But I was petrified of dogs. After being bitten at nine, once

    Anacá I watched the jaw-dropped look on his face, and a sense of satisfaction coursed through my body.“Where were you? I looked for you everywhere. I thought you had left.” The fear in his eyes was clearly visible, and it felt good to know he wanted me to stay with him.“I went to grab a bite. After the way she insulted me, I had no wish to tolerate her.” I felt a little foolish for reacting to Acacia.“Oh, the food I ordered was for you. Why didn’t you have it?”“She snatched it from me.”Eros rolled his eyes in exasperation. “Anacá, you had the right to throw her out. You’re not just my PA. You’re the owner of Emerald as well. You should know and understand your rights.”My heart filled with an overwhelming urge to hug him. Did he really consider me the owner of his business? I hadn’t expected him to. “Oh, I am?” I couldn’t stop the urge any longer. Was he for real? We hadn’t been married for even a month, and he had already declared me the owner of his business. I didn’t need a s

    ErosRelief washed over me at the sight of my wife in my office. She didn’t flee or bear a grudge against me professionally. She left home to shoulder her responsibilities. Despite having judged her wrong, my heart swelled with pride. Anacá had proved me wrong. She had proved herself. I knew I had made no mistake in choosing her as my PA.“Emergency? Why didn’t they inform me?” My eyebrows pinched together at her explanation.“They did. Your phone was muted, I guess.” She roped in the technical team to explain the situation in brief. “It’s taken care of. You can start your meeting anytime.”The door opened, and Maria from the Marketing team peered in. “Mr. Young has arrived, sir. Shall I escort him here?”“Yes, we’re ready to start.” The technical team walked out, leaving me with Anacá.“Umm, I’ll go to my office, then.” She gave me an indecisive look.“No. Stay here with me. I need you.” I watched her cheeks color at my double-edged words. “To record the minutes of the meeting, obvio

    Eros I gazed at her beautiful face, so close to mine. If I dipped my head a few more inches, I could get a taste of heaven. Her lips were beckoning me to continue where we had left off. And then she licked her lips, her nervous gaze dropping to mine. I lost control. “Anacá,” I whispered her name almost like a prayer. “Yeah?” There was a shyness in her eyes that made my stomach tighten with arousal. I knew she wanted the kiss as much as I did. “Let me complete what we started earlier. I can’t sleep.” I could see the hot flush creep up her body, staining her cheeks and neck. It made me warm too, and my co*k responded instantly. “And what do you want to complete?” She tried hard to appear calm, but her hot breath came in gasps while her heart thumped wildly against her chest. I could feel every breath, every beat distinctly.Was she inviting me to do more than just a kiss? I leaned closer, and she gasped with surprise. “We can start with a kiss and see where it goes. Hmm?” “Okay.”

    AnacáThe moment the door closed, Eros smiled at me, waving the document in the air. “I’m the happiest man alive tonight. Can you believe it? Dad has finally signed his business over to me. I never expected this day to happen so soon. And it’s only because of you, Anacá.” My jaw dropped to the floor. What? Didn’t his dad threaten to disown him if I didn’t leave him? Then how did this miracle happen? “I’m sure this has nothing to do with me, Eros. It’s your hard work that has paid off.” Maybe his dad didn’t have the heart to disown him. I was sure it had nothing to do with me. “I disagree. Dad had come prepared. If he disliked you, he would have shown his disapproval. He wouldn’t have transferred the business to my name. Instead, he would have asked me to get rid of you. He’s quite stubborn and difficult to please when you try. Surprisingly, he liked you at first sight.” He looked so excited, I couldn’t burst his happy bubble and tell him about my interaction with his dad. It was an

    Anacá Dinner was bearable after his dad’s little reminder. I could feel the power he wielded over everyone present here, including Eros. After dinner, he declined the dessert I offered him. It hurt me, but I preferred hiding my feelings. “Dad has diabetes. He stays away from sugary treats.” Eros leaned in to whisper. It cheered me up again. I was glad Eros cleared the misunderstanding on my part. “We’ll leave, bro. Are you staying?” asked Uncle Enriquez. “Yes. I want to talk to Eros. You can go ahead. Eros will see you off.” They left, and Eros went downstairs to see them off. I felt acutely aware of his dad’s shrewd eyes watching me intently. “Come here, Anacá. I wanted to talk to you.” He gestured towards the opposite couch, and I complied. I wondered what he wanted to discuss with me. We just met, and he didn’t like me.” “Yes, Mr. Nikolaou.” My heart pounded in apprehension as I waited for him to start. Somehow, I had the feeling this wouldn’t be pleasant. “Look, I know yo

    Anacá “Uh.” My eyes widened as he leaned closer. The world ceased to revolve around me, and it seemed that there were only the two of us in the room. How he looked at me set a flutter in my stomach. I stood transfixed to the spot, watching him with delirious eyes. He pulled my face toward him and brushed my lips lightly with his. The soft touch was enough to send my senses into overdrive. A throbbing started deep down, and I needed the kiss to quell the desire I felt. “F*ck!” He raised his head to look into my eyes, and I gasped at the burning desire I saw in them. His fingers tangled into my hair as he crashed his lips to mine, this time yanking my head back to gain better access. His tongue probed into my mouth, colliding with my tongue, and all my inhibitions flew out of the windows. I needed him as much as he needed me. At that moment, I forgot we had an audience. A moan echoed around us, and surprisingly, it was from him. The kiss grew desperate, and I wrapped my arms around

    Anacá I walked into the bedroom while Lucy preferred following Eros to the kitchen. It seemed more than me; his charm had bowled over my pet dog. I entered the enormous walk-in closet that was almost empty. With only one side occupied, I had the rest of the space to myself for my new and old belongings. This was a work I hated, but what choice did I have? I couldn’t call Jess here to help me. In fact, Jess had completely disappeared from my life. Even my calls to her went unanswered. I wondered what she was up to. “Woof!” Lucy trotted inside to rub her body against my legs. I stroked her head and smiled. “Where’s your new buddy? Did you ditch him downstairs?” I chuckled at my joke. “Why? Are you missing me? I’m all yours.” His voice echoed from behind, and I jumped out of my skin. Wasn’t he downstairs making dinner for us? I whirled around to find him leaning against the doorframe of the closet. His words echoed in my head. I’m all yours.He was mine. A warm flush crept up my c

    Anacá He drove on with a smug look on his face. It seemed he felt happy to rile me up. His words were so disturbing, they echoed in my head. I had thought he had forgotten about the kiss! So would he expect me to kiss him once we reached his house? More than a kiss, I wondered if I would have to perform my wifely duties now. “What’s got you so worked up?” He chuckled, enjoying my state. “I’m worried about meeting your parents.” I sighed, my heart sinking at the thought. “It’s just dad and my extended family: uncles, aunts, and cousins. They usually avoid me. So you can relax.” He steered the car into a heavily guarded, luxurious four-story condominium in the most sought-after location of the Kifissia-Kelafari neighborhood. “Is this your home or your dad’s?” I needed to be sure. “The building belongs to me. Right now, I only occupy the top two floors. Maybe I will spread out when we multiply.” He cast a mischievous look in my direction, but I ignored his remark. To multiply, we w

    ErosI was in a dilemma. While I wanted her to move in with me, I couldn’t overcome my fear of dogs. There seemed no other way than to accept them in my life. “I’m intolerant towards dogs.” She gave me a weird look and shrugged. “I can understand. I’ll head home then. See you tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ll be here on time.” Anacá was about to leave when I grabbed hold of her hand. She hardly gave me time to get a grip on myself. It was such a tough decision for me. I sucked in a deep breath. What was the worst thing that could happen? The dog would bite me, right? I would end up with shots. But at least Anacá would be near me. At least I could face my dad with pride. He couldn’t mock me for getting married without his permission. But mostly I would get to see Anacá 24/7. “You can move in with your dog. I’ll have your car delivered home. So, shall we go?” The shocked look on her face satisfied me. I waited for her to protest, but she shrugged and followed me out. “Umm, can we go to m
