Christina’s POVA smile lit up my face on seeing him and I pulled my arm out of Abby’s hold to embrace him warmly.“Hi…” I drawled, still smiling when we pulled apart. “What are you doing here?” My gaze swept over him, to take in the three-piece suit he had on. He obviously couldn’t be a student here.“What? You think I can’t be a student?” He feigned annoyance, but I swatted his chest and we both laughed.“Try another lie,”“I came to see a friend and decided to get lunch before I leave but now that I think about it, it seems the universe wanted me to meet you,” He winked at me, and I was about to respond but then I heard a throat clearing behind me and I suddenly remembered Abby.“Oh, I’m so sorry,” I turned to face her with an apologetic smile etched on my face. She smiled at me and I held her hand, ready to introduce her to Marvin. “Marvin, meet my friend, Abby, and Abby, this is Marvin Reid, Scott’s brother,”For a nanosecond, Abby’s cheerful smile slid off her face, like she cou

Christina’s POVFor the rest of the evening, after my infuriating encounter with Scott, I remained in my bedroom, not wishing to see his face or even come across any of his workers, most especially Dexter. My heart was still heavy from how easily he’d stolen my happiness by putting me under house arrest but I should have known him by now. It wasn’t far-fetched that he’d take such drastic actions, knowing fully well that I depended on him. He wanted to control me by all means and from the very beginning I should have known that he wasn’t trying to be nice to me just to make me comfortable. It was all part of his ploy to have me under his control when he realized he couldn’t get me to fall to his will with strict orders. He decided to act nice, to lure me into it but I should be happy that I realized the truth before it was too late.Scott was a businessman and will always be one. He’d only do the things that would favor him, even if it meant putting on a facade for a while. He played m

Christina’s POV“W-what?” I rubbed at my eyes, a yawn escaping my lips as I was still at a loss of what was happening.“Don’t you dare play dumb with me, Christina. Why are your books in my bedroom, and the gadgets? What is this all about?”My hand that had been on my eyes dropped and a small frown marred my face. For a minute, I looked past him to my empty desk and then to the shelves but then reality suddenly crashed into me as I recalled I’d been patiently waiting for this moment before the comforting arms of sleep grabbed me.“Oh, that…” I finally responded, drawing in a deep breath. My eyes returned to him and I saw the anger on his face but I ignored it, responding with a dismissive tone. “I only returned the borrowed items,”I saw the moment his gaze darkened, and his heated eyes burned intently into mine, a vein ticking on his forehead but I made no move to cower under his gaze or try to explain further. When he realized he wasn’t getting anything out of me, he spoke.“And wha

Scott’s POVLong after she left, I laid in my bed, tossing from one side to the other, unable to find sleep. My gaze was on the door, the exact place she’d been when she’d first walked in. Memories of all she did, and how she slowly dropped her robe as though she was giving me a strip tease, filled my head. Even when I closed my eyes to find sleep, all I could see was her. It was as if I could feel her presence all around the room, and it wasn’t helping that my cock pulsed with every thought of her, heightening my arousal.It was a long painful night but eventually, I fell asleep, nearing the early hours of the morning. My sleep lasted for only about three hours before I was up again, ready to go to work. As I dressed up that morning, I couldn’t help but stare at my reflection in the mirror. My face was stoic with the annoyance of having a sleepless night, not to mention the blue balls she left me with. It was even more annoying to know that I was in this state all because of a woman

Scott’s POV “The order has been placed and it’ll be delivered in the next few hours, Sir,” My assistant’s voice sailed into my ears through the office phone. “Good,” I returned the phone to its holder, ready to continue with work. After my call with Vincenzo, I immediately called her and asked her to buy a proper engagement ring for Christina. My grandfather had made me promise to be at his place this weekend, and I had to prepare for it. Vincenzo was a very smart man and the tricks that had worked for Aunt Eunice wouldn’t be working for him. I’d have to brief Christina on all she needs to know about him, so we could make our supposed union more believable. My gaze was still on the document I was reading through, with a pen in hand as I was required to sign if I was fine with the terms of the contract agreement. I was almost on the last page when my office door suddenly opened, and without bothering to raise my head, I addressed her, thinking she was my assistant, Lizzy. “That was
