“You despise the way I touch you?”Wow, way to go Anna. She whispered a denial. “I’m still not prepared to sleep with you.”“We already have a sleeping arrangement.”A chill ran down her spine as a result of how dangerously silent his voice was.Her cheeks were stained with dull pink. He was completely cognizant of the chaos he was wreaking, and she despised him for his calculated attack on her conflicted feelings."You are aware that my intention was different."He twisted her head so that she couldn't help but stare at him as he gripped her chin with his thumb and forefinger.The knot that had suddenly formed in her throat made it impossible for her to swallow, and she was unable to utter a word. As she beheld his head stoop, her eyes widened uncontrollably. She froze as he leaned his mouth to meet hers in a

As she reached stratospheric heights, she quietly confessed that it was brazen. Despicable as sin. Passionately, destructively, and hopelessly sensual. She wished it would go on forever, but the intense sensation spiral made her doubt her ability to control herself for much longer.A deep, numbing oral reenactment of the sexual act, it was the most intimate kiss ever. A sensual present so beautiful and generous that it made her want to cry with happiness.His bead slowly moved, and he started kissing her passionately all over her body, from her stomach to the delicate area under her breasts, and finally, he nailed one sensitized peak.He then tilted his head back to stare down at her, observing her pale face, her parted lips, and the pinkish-blue hues that adorned her eyes.As she cautiously reached out to touch his chest, Anna traced his shoulder, softly caressed his muscular rib cage, and then, unc

A gentle ocean wind brushed over Anna's skin and tangled her hair as she relaxed on the tranquil beach.The sea was a rich blue color, and although it was flat out at a distance, it crested as it got closer to the coast, creating a foamy mess on the compacted beach.She was enchanted by an eerie sense of uncertainty... with a hint of sadness. Here, she felt secure and safe.The previous 10 days had been picture-perfect: spent leisurely in the sunshine with easy company, spent long evenings under the moonlight, and loved tenderly.They were scheduled to go back to Los Angeles tomorrow. Her physiotherapy sessions were scheduled to start next week, and she also had appointments with the neurologist and obstetrician. Little time passed before David would hop in his car and head into the city, where he would spend the better part of each day in his office atop one of the many stunning inner-city modern structures in Los Angeles.It reminded her that she was in the same building as well.

She tried to refocus them and block out that terrifying vision, but Anna felt like her eyes were much too big for her face. "Are you in pain?" Then she heard David's voice—deep, dark, and throbbing—and saw his anxious face—every line etched with worry. His eyes nearly black as he tried to see through the mask she had worn. “Anna.” She blinked once or twice before she was brought back to the present as his fingers delicately touched both cheeks. "I'm—fine," she stammered, her voice barely audible due to her shaking lips. She looked directly into his intense eyes and forced herself to swallow the quick knot that appeared in her throat. With trembling hands, she reassured him, "Really," fending off the inquisitive gaze that seemed to attack her very being. “You were aware of the incident.” Instead of a question, it was a statement. “Every cent?” For some reason, her lips felt unusually parched, so she stuck out her tongue to dab them. “All I can see is a whirlwind of blue speedin

She blinked to fight back the tears that were about to fall as she said, "I can sell my house, and in time the villa in Jeju Island, I suppose." It was inconceivable to her that her father would have implicated her in a criminal act as far back as 10 years ago.He sat down on the bench next to her and cupped her chin in his palm before turning her face to look at him. "But I do have a solution; I'm prepared to invest all of the money necessary to get your father out of this mess and make the company viable again, but I want something in return," David said.Anna said, "I have complete faith that my father will do whatever you ask him to do." "In general, he is a decent human being; however, there are..."David concluded for her with a caustic comment, saying, "he had an expensive wife and lifestyle." "However, I am not interested in your father; rather, it is you, Anna," he said. I want to get married to you.Her initial assumption was that the man had lost all semblance of sanity, bu

The obstetrician called him already but why is he acting like he doesn’t know? She wouldn't be surprised by the prospect. “A case of morning sickness struck me.” After a brief gap, she tried to be humorous. “At about three o'clock in the afternoon.” David would not be fooled for long by her acting skills. “Another flash of memory came to me.” It was a continuation of the truth, and it gave her a little chill. David reassured her as he caressed her temple with his kisses. "I will call Rick and arrange for him to meet me at a restaurant if you are not in the mood for dinner this evening." "Amy has gone to a lot of trouble," Anna said hastily, before saying, "No." Even though she was fast asleep, she was startled when he climbed into bed and stretched out to her. A showdown was what she desired. She wanted to go to battle with him, dammit. That was not the case, though, when a dinner guest was expected to show up in—how much time? In under thirty minutes? “Shouldn’t we prepare o

For what seemed like an eternity, he remained silent; when he finally did speak, it was with an unsettlingly harsh and depressing tone. “I will claim full ownership of the child you are carrying.” “Our child should be valued for more than just being a legal battle pawn in the custody battle.”“I wed you because I could not bear to watch my father suffer financially and emotionally. It was lethal for him to be bankrupt. He might not survive jail time because he is old.”She accused him angrily, saying, "You engineered a diabolical game."He kept staring at her for what felt like an eternity. Reminding her, his eyes remained vigilant even though they were partially closed."You took the arrangement personally and tried to turn it into an advantage for yourself against me."She had deceived herself into thinking she was doing well at first. The only difference was that she had developed romantic feelings for him during their journey."I never pretended that our relationship was perfect,

Jacob was left with the Pajero wagon while David was driving the Porsche into the city. She should talk to David about it tonight. After lunch, she rummaged through her closet in search of an appropriate dinner gown. After much consideration, she settled on a deep yellow-fitting gown after narrowing her options down to two. The hue was a striking contrast to her black hair, complemented her dark eyes, and brought out her light honey skin's creamy smoothness. Around four o'clock, Jacob brought her home from physical therapy. At five o'clock, she showered, cleaned her hair, and had Amy style her long hair with fat rollers. After that, she took care of her nails. As she was putting on her makeup, David walked into the bedroom, and she calmly accepted his analytical assessment. "How is your hand doing?" Anna was acutely aware of his nearness the moment he stepped towards her. Showing off the pink scar, she remained silent. "I assume the report from the expert has already been sent to

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. The pulsing in her hand had diminished in intensity, and th

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. She blinked when he reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers, and she smiled tentatively becau
