Was her sanity in danger?
David shrugged his large shoulders and muttered, "Pity." "I fear that your father will be more disappointed than Bryan will be," you said about the two elderly men.
In an instant of piercing insight, Anna was able to see everything. "Oh my God, you're right!" I said, my chocolate eyes glaring aggressively into his face as I did so. "I thought your grandfather was such a sweet old man, and yet you must have decided between you to ruin my father simply to get the house in Jeju Island—or at least make sure your child did." She accused him angrily, "I can easily believe that you

Anna felt that the word our child had a certain allure that could not be ignored. She reasoned with herself that even if she married David, she would not be betraying the love that she felt for Allen because there would be no love involved in her relationship with David. She believed this to be true. Simple negotiations resulted in a deal that would spare her father's life and bring her the baby she had longed for. "Anna, did you just give me a yes or a no?" Have we reached an agreement? David inquired, and while he was doing so, he tipped her chin with one long finger and said, 'You know that makes sense.' His voice was suddenly velvety deep and intensely black. "Marry me and have my child," He said to her. Her abdominal muscles tensed up from the stress. She became hesitant as the sensation of his finger on her chin resembled the burning of a branding iron. David had previously explained to her that one must occasionally pick the option that is the "lesser of two evils," and after

"Dark chocolate eyes locked with hers, and fear crept down her spine as a feather. What was she thinking when she said yes to David's proposal of marriage? "What are other people going to think? My Step mother, Jeanne, and all of their close friends are not going to believe that we will get married in a flash, and how about Annet!' They will, that is correct. Because I just got off the phone with your dad an hour ago. The answer is yes; one must have an engagement ring to fulfill the initial requirement of the customs that surround a marriage. As long as you follow my lead and don't say anything, everyone else, including the world at large, will think it's a normal marriage, even though you and I both know it's a business transaction. She cast one last contemplative glance at the glistening gem and recalled the last time a guy had put a ring on her finger out of real love—his beloved Allen in the past. Now, it seemed to make fun of all that she had ever believed in, and it made her w

What exactly did he have in mind when he stated in his remark that she and David had made peace with one another? She had just enough time to observe him walk into his study before she entered the hallway, but before she could follow him, a slightly intoxicated version of Annet approached her. “You are magnificent, Anna. You really deserve credit for that. That is something I never would have thought. Even when David took me out to lunch after my birthday, told me that he simply thought of me as a friend, and interrogated me about you, the idea that you knew him so well never crossed my mind. Up until...' “He told me in great detail about what happened between you and him on his yacht! Anna shrieked out as the color left her face, leaving her as pale as a sheet. Her face had become ice cold. As David had threatened, Annet must now know about their one-night affair. David must have told her. How was it even possible for him to be that cruel? “Anna, you don't need to put on the look

After David gave a quick instruction, the car began to drive forward.She snapped, her chocolate eyes colliding violently with his brown eyes as she said, "Don't you order me around." She paused before continuing, "And how could you tell my father we were—" Were they not? A couple? She was unable to utter the phrase, and she detested the way he raised a sarcastic, dark brow in response to her obvious hesitation to proceed with the conversation.He mocked her gently by saying, "Poor Anna." "When the truth is revealed, you still can't admit the fact because you've buried your head in the sand for such a long time," he said.She spewed out the following insult: "You wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit you." She tore her gaze away from his and shook her head as she said, "You're a devious, conniving swine, and you might be able to fool my father, but you don't fool me." Her jaws tightened."I must have been crazy to think that this arrangeme

We have a deal, and it will be best for both of us if you accept that we have it as quickly as possible. She wasn't so sure about the rest of it, and when he placed a hand at her back and forced her into the spacious lounge of his apartment, she had the childish desire to turn and run away. David, however, realized she was conflicted and reached out to run his fingers up her back before settling his arms around her shoulders. One minute later, she was seated on the black sofa, watching as David strolled up to the drinks cabinet, taking off his jacket and tie as he did so, and dropping them on a seat nearby. She continued to watch as David walked away from the drinks cabinet. He cast a quick glance behind him over his shoulder. “Would you like something to drink? “ “Only natural mineral water, thank you. She saw his frown as he moved back to the cabinet, but a moment later he reappeared with two crystal glasses and handed her one of them. “My limit is two glasses of wine,” Anna said.

He raised his head to look down at her while effortlessly skimming the fabric from her shoulders to her waist with his hands. While he did this, he lowered the zipper of her dress down her back. He had Anna precisely where he wanted her, and he struggled to fight the impulse to have her then and now, on the sofa. Her amazing chocolate eyes were glazed over with lust, and her lush breasts were firm and full, with lovely rose-pink nipples that were begging to be tasted. “Anna, are you going to make me hold out until after the wedding?” he shrieked before cursing himself for being one of a hundred different kinds of idiot. A beautiful and eager woman was in his arms, and he was forced to pause and inquire. “Are you taking the pill?” he asked."Did you do that?” he inquired, making a feeble attempt to defend his idiotic behavior. It was not Anna’s usual character to jump off a cliff into unexplored waters, but she just couldn't resist him. She ran her tongue over her kiss-swollen lips, sa

It had been much too long since she had been naked in a man's arms and experienced the intense pleasure of sexual desire. She felt a flicker of unease tugging at her consciousness, but she wanted David very much. She stretched out for him with both hands and felt the heat of his firm, bare body on her own. Her mouth opened in eager anticipation of his kiss, and he did not let her down in this regard. While her arms wrapped around his wide back and her fingers reached up to tangle in the soft black hair of his head, his mouth was covering hers. His tongue stroked her mouth, and her tongue dueled with his.Her body was on fire for David, and she let out a low groan as his strong hand curled gently around her breast. His teasing fingers plucked at the sensitized, aching tip, and she let out a low sigh in response. She trembled furiously as his long fingers stroked between the delicate curls at the junction of her thighs and reached the hot, liquid center of her femininity. She whimpered

“Damn!" Anna muttered an expletive as she hung up the phone and turned her angry gaze on Sara. "It was David once more," she said. Do you think it's possible? It would appear that I will be able to take tomorrow off from work because he has made arrangements for me to go shopping with Annet using his money! The audacity of the man! Does he believe that I am unable to clothe myself on my own?'She shot an exasperated scowl at the phone, which prompted Sara to burst out laughing. "No, of course not," she replied. He probably believed it was a good way to reconcile the rift he may have caused between you and Annet because he dated her to get close to you and win you back. As a guy, he probably thought it was the right way. It's evident that David is head over heels in love with you, and I find it quite romantic the way that he calls you multiple times a day. If you had any sense at all, you would continue to take the rest of the week off from work so that you can relax and get ready for h

David cupped her face and said, “There is nothing that can make me queasy when it comes from you.”“Your body is where my child grows, and your blood is her blood also.”“Don’t ever think that it is something to be embarrassed about.”Anna smiled weakly at the man before her. ‘How could she not love this man?’David led her to the shower while helping her out of her clothes.He reached out to take the soap, but she said, “Please let me do it on my own, my breast is so sore, and it hurts too much.”“Okay, but let me do your back.” he insisted as he watched her.“We can visit the baby after breakfast.” he said.At this point, Anna was excited to see Selene. She swiftly finished her bath and changed into a wrap-around pink floral dress.They ate their breakfast and went to the hospital after.They were looking at their child through the incubator, she was so beautiful yet so fragile. 'I can't wait to hold her in my arms,' Anna thought. She felt so mesmerized by her. David wrapped his arm

Anna woke up in the hospital the next day. Last night, she had a c-section because of the preterm labor. David was sitting near her. “Is the baby, okay?” She asked weakly. “The baby is in intensive care,” David said calmly. “Oh my God, is she going to be, okay?” concern was evident on her face. “All her vital signs are okay; however, she is in the incubator.” David cupped her face gently. “No need to worry, Anna, her pediatric doctor is a known specialist.” David reached for Anna and hugged her. At this very moment, she wanted to feel his warmth because she couldn't control her anxiety. Then the Doctor came to visit. “Good morning, Mrs. Miller.” She was an older woman with kind eyes. “I’m Doctor Avery Samuel, nice to meet you,” she said. “Nice to meet you too Doctor,” Anna replied. “Can I see my baby?” “Yes, but We had to wait for your OB-GYN, Doctor Ethan's recommendation.” “When it’s safe to move you, then you can visit your baby, but you have to understand that you cannot

Anna dialed a memorized number on her phone.A sleepy voice answered her call, and Anna felt a surge of relief. “Sara? How about lunch?”“I didn't get to bed until three, you impossible person. Must it be today?”“We could make it a late lunch,” Anna persisted and heard Sara's laughing approval.“Name the time and place, and I'll meet you there.”“One-thirty. At the Grove,” she returned without hesitation.They met within minutes of the appointed time and managed, by good fortune to be shown to atable overlooking the fountain. After the serious business of ordering was completed, they settleddown to exchanging news, something which lasted through the starter, and well into the maincourse.“You're positively blooming,” Sara complimented quietly.“Your hair, your skin. everything about you. I couldn't be more pleased everything is working out.”Anna managed a bright smile that didn't fool her friend in the slightest.“Not quite, huh? What's the problem?”“I didn't ask you to meet me

She rose to her feet and gathered the cutlery and glasses, then carried them through to thekitchen.David followed, and she heard him locking the outer doors and setting the security alarm.It was a simple task to load the dishwasher, and she had just finished when he entered the room.He looked over all the powerful masculine: dark trousers, light tan skin, dark hair, in stark contrast to the white shirt. Tall, he almost seemed overpowering, and, while she craved his touch, there was a part of her that cried out against any sexual defeat.She watched as he dispatched food down the waste disposal unit, then dropped emptycontainers into the pedal bin before washing and drying his hands. In silence, he turned andcaught hold of her hand, leading her through to the lounge, and then he selected a slow song.Soft music emanated from the speakers and Anna looked at him speechlessly as he drew her intohis arms.Crazy, she thought, as he pulled her close against him and began to drift slow

“There's an excellent piece you really must see. Expensive, but worthy of investment.” He riffledthrough the catalog pages and brought the item to David's notice, then made his excuses assomeone else demanded his attention.“I happen to like Zhang Hongtu,” Anna protested as David's amused gaze rested on her expressive features.“So do I,” he assured her, and, placing an arm around her waist, he directed her towards a display.“Shall we begin viewing?”Some paintings verged on the bizarre, others resembled caricatures of design over brilliant slashes of color. One, in particular, looked as if a very young child had indulged in a wild battle with numerous pots of multicolored paint.“What do you think?”Anna turned towards David and tried to present a considered viewpoint. After severalseconds she voiced with restraint, “I'd prefer not to answer on the grounds that anything I saycould be overheard, taken into account, and held against me.”“A remarkable nonconformist piece,” David d

“Anna. How are you, darling? Sorry to keep you waiting.”She closed the magazine and rose to her feet with a ready smile. “Michael.”“Your hand? It is still giving you pain?' He drew her towards the far end of the salon and seated her at a basin.“It aches a little.”Michael's personal attention was rare, and Anna, by virtue of being David's wife, appeared tobe one of the favoured few.She wrinkled her nose as he sluiced water over her hair and applied shampoo, rinsed and repeated the process with conditioner, then towelled it dry before leading her to a mirrored cubicle.“Are you able to drive again?”‘The specialist says I can. David would prefer Jacob to continue in the role of chauffeur. Although he has compromised and bought me another car.'“He is being protective, hmm?”“You could say that,” she agreed with suitable dryness.Michael picked up his scissors and comb and went to work. “Don't knock it, darling,” he cautioned wryly.“Men are not usually protective unless they care.

‘Would it ever be any different?’‘Could it be? Sadly, she didn't think so…’Even if she prepares herself for what is to come, she knows that David will also fight for this child to be his. ‘It will be a long battle.’Anna wandered down to the swimming pool and sat in one of the chairs positioned beneath a wide sun umbrella. The sun felt warm against her bare skin, and she leaned her head back and closed her eyes.“Anna? It is eleven-fifteen.”She came sharply awake at the sound of Amy's voice, amazed that she could have lapsed into a light doze. Her hand had swollen slightly and was beginning to show signs of bruising. There was also a degree of pain when the physiotherapist supervised her exercises, a fact which he noted, adding an admonition to be more careful. There didn't seem to be much point in assuring him that it was not self-inflicted.At home, she ate the chicken salad Amy had prepared for lunch, and then she changed into a bikini,selected a book, and wandered out to sit b

When another couple joined them, Anna let out a breath of relief because most of the people were aimlessly wandering from table to table. While the woman had a light talk with Anna, the man—a business associate of David's—began an intense debate with him.Anna glanced at David with a look of surprise as he rested his arm across the back of her chair twenty minutes before they departed.“It is getting close to eleven o'clock.”“Our mission has been accomplished.”“Are you ready to go?” Anna nodded in agreement.Without saying a word more, he had them leave the ballroom and start to lead the way. A number of his friends wanted to talk to him, and while he waited a second to say a few expressions of courteous reply, he did not remain.Anna sank into the leather-cushioned seat and relaxed as David lowered the Bentley to street level, joining the steady flow of traffic leaving the city.It was pleasurable just to relax in the car.

Anna caught her breath as David locked eyes with the model, who appeared innocent, in a way that only Amelia could.“Yes, to my great joy.” Underneath the velvety smoothness of his voice, there was no mistaking the steely core.As the guest speaker stepped up to the podium, Anna removed fruit segments from their meringue nest and set the plate aside, choosing tea as the dessert arrived, which was a letdown.Then, a DJ played some tunes in the background and urged everyone to get down on the dance floor. With grace and elegance, Amelia and her partner were among the first to ascend the stairs.She had an air of confidence and sophistication. Anna could tell the model was fully aware of the impact she was making on her partner from the subtle allure of her face.She wanted to know if it was helping David out or not.Meeting his shadowed stare unsettled Anna, who sneaked a peek at him.
