Her Notorious CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The way was long; all the way, Daniel kept teasing her lightly, and she kept quiet, thinking about Eva.In the evening, when it was getting dark, Daniel brought the car in front of the riverside cabin between the mountains and stopped it.It was a small, neat cabin with three bedrooms. Each bedroom window opened to a beautiful view of the mountains. Down two steps was a large, circular living room with a large window overlooking the flowing river. There was a dining table in the living room and an open French kitchen.The cabin had all the necessities of life, and the furniture seemed to have been newly installed.After reaching the cabin, they all kept their belongings in their respective rooms."The things will be set later. Now everyone should take a quick bath and get ready. We are leaving for dinner in twenty minutes." Daniel addressed them both."Dinner so early...?" Tasha looked at the time on his watch, which was playing seven in the evening.The master bedroom was Daniel's, a

He released her from his grip, his voice serious as he spoke. She quickly glanced around, her face flushed a deep red, before retreating to her room. Once there, she lay on the bed, a beautiful, serene smile gracing her lips. "Not every woman is strong enough to overwhelm my senses," Daniel's deep voice still echoed in her ears."Your words reveal that I've overshadowed your senses," Tasha thought shyly, hiding her face in her hands. She closed her eyes, seeking sleep, but Daniel’s presence lingered in her mind. His broad, handsome hand, the intensity of his gaze—everything about him occupied her thoughts. She tried to calm her heart, but tonight, Daniel seemed to possess her dreams, each word of his like a potent intoxication."I spent so much time planning this moment, hoping you'd surrender to me completely. Give yourself to me, and I'll claim every part of you. Let me hold you in my arms at night and begin each day with your kiss." His words resonated deeply, leaving her in a daze

After parking the car outside the cabin, Tasha and Daniel got out. It was a full moon night, and the entire cabin glowed softly in the moonlight. As Daniel led Tasha by the hand, her heart began to race, a new fear creeping in—she was alone in the cabin with him. She shuddered, her palms growing sweaty.Daniel unlocked the door, stepped inside, and turned on the lights before letting go of her hand. He moved to the kitchen, grabbed some firewood, and knelt in front of the fireplace, starting a fire."Want some tea?" he asked, standing in front of the growing warmth."No," Tasha whispered, her voice barely audible."How about coffee? It'll help chase away the cold." He offered again."No..." she repeated, fear rising in her chest. She wanted to run straight to her room and lock the door."What's wrong? Did you leave your voice back at the restaurant?" Daniel asked, raising an eyebrow as he studied her."No..." Tasha stammered, her discomfort clear."You've been lost in thought ever sin

By morning, Tasha awoke to find herself cradled in Daniel’s strong arms. The soft rays of the sun crept into the room, casting a warm glow over everything. She blinked, her head still foggy from sleep, but the realization hit her—she was wrapped in Daniel’s embrace. A businessman like him, holding her like this? Was there something more between them?Carefully, without making a sound, Tasha slid out from under his arm, setting it gently on the bed. She grabbed her dress and tiptoed to her room, her heart racing.As she walked down the hallway, her eyes fell on him. Daniel was standing there, shirtless, with a pair of jeans on. His messy hair fell over his forehead, and the sight of him like that stopped her in her tracks. Her eyelids fluttered as she looked away, embarrassed by the intensity of her feelings.Daniel moved toward her, his deep gaze lingering on her wet, tangled hair. Without a word, he pulled a towel from the bed and tossed it casually in her direction. His touch, thoug

The cold air bit at her skin, and she wrapped her arms around herself, feeling more alone than ever.In the darkness, she prayed for strength, for someone to believe in her innocence. Her thoughts drifted back to Daniel, wondering if he would hear about this if he would believe in her. Would he come for me? Or would he turn away, like everyone else?As she huddled on the hard bench, the weight of everything crashed down on her. Her parents were gone, her life torn apart, and now she was branded a murderer. Tears spilled down her cheeks as she whispered Eva’s name into the silence."I didn't do anything! Please, believe me! I'm telling the truth!" Tasha cried out, her voice breaking as she pleaded with the police. But her words fell on deaf ears—no one believed her. She was alone, desperate for someone to hear her out.The officer looked down at her, unmoved."There were no fingerprints on the knife except yours. No one else was in the house. So how can I believe you’re innocent?" Dani
