Niklas couldn't tear his eyes away from the sight of Andrea crying in the arms of another man. His fury was palpable, his fists clenched tightly in his lap. He knew he had no genuine affection for Andrea—it was an arranged marriage but seeing her in such a vulnerable state, seeking solace from someone else, stirred something deep within him. Was it possessiveness? Jealousy? He wasn't sure. "Drive faster," he barked at his driver, his voice cold and hard. He needed to get home, to confront Andrea, to assert his control. As the car sped through the streets, his mind raced with conflicting emotions. He didn't love her, but she was his. His to control, his to dictate. She wasn't given the permission to be seen in the street so she could be seeking for solace from men, and what was with the man patting her back. By the time he reached home, his anger had reached a boiling point. He stormed into the house, slamming the door behind him. The echo of the impact reverberating through the h

"He told you to ask me to leave?" Andrea repeated and Niklas' secretary nodded his head.She batted her lashes and proceeded to begin packing her bag up again.Maybe she thought wrong and he didn't want her to act like his loving wife at a public function just yet.Her eyes darted to her dress again. It wasn't that bad. It even looked way prettier than some of the other women dressed in corporate outfits.Or was her dress not the problem. He didn't want to see her because of the malice he still has against her and didn't want to let her know.Whatever it was, she couldn't place a finger at what was the issue with him. He had been ignoring her since the first day he had laid hands on her.Not as if they were in good terms with each other before but since that day, he had always awoken early and made sure to take his bathe and leave for work, even before she'd get up to join the nannies at the kitchen.Several things seemed to be wrong with him but she couldn't tell what it was, she cou

Niklas watched as Dante Daniel walked in.A surge of anger sparked within him towards him. "He is Dante Daniel?" He asked his secretary, still surprised a young man like him was the almighty Dante everyone spoke about with an untold reverence."Yes sir" he replied with excitement which caused Niklas to scowl and him reverb back into his shell and his stoic expressionless face. He had a scoff etched all over his face as Dante approached him further.He was something. He has taken his time to read his biography after he had seen the request he had made before he accepted the collaboration proposal, and he had been wowed but wouldn't let that show as that feeling for him had been suppressed by the anger he felt from the disrespect of his condition.Hold the collaboration at the bookshop when he had already made plans of having it at the company headquarters? That was an insult to him and the authority he possessed.How could he, who had been successful by luck make such demands from hi

What Andrea was witnessing wasn't what she had imagined that she would see.No, she hadn't thought about Dante helping her out to advertise the bookshop, she hadn't even known that he was a celebrity to begin with.Seeing the people drag lines in front of the book keeper and his assistant came as a surprise to her. Did Dante hold such powers or was she just seeing things."Who is he?" She muttered to one of the models that were still backstage with her, peeping at the hall from a side of the window."He is Dante Daniel, you don't know?"the woman asked.Andrea nodded her head in the negative."He is very famous and has more than 20 million followers in all of his social Media accounts combined. People say that he came to the country to find a wife while some argue that it was for another reason. Whatever it truly is,we are not sure yet but many ladies have vowed to shoot their shots at him" she ended and took a few steps back to her mirror to adjust her dress.Andrea continued to stand

"oh my Andrea, the dress suited you perfectly!!" Xyrielle praised immediately Andrea entered the house."I saw you on TV. You looked so majestic in that dress and oh, your makeup" she said and stared at her face that still had the makeup on." It made you look so beautiful like a new bride getting wedded to the love of her life. It made you look like the queen of a kingdom. Like a rare star, a rare fashionista emerging from the streets of Paris!!" Xyrielle continued to praise and Andrea smiled as she did so.Her excitement could not be contained and she happily chatted what she felt to her, joining her as she walked over to her room." Can I take a photo with you please?" She asked and Andrea bent down to reduce her height to reach hers.Xyrielle took a few selfies before she followed her to enter the room."Your room looks so beautiful" she praised again and Andrea surprisingly looked at her."You've not been here before?" She asked."Not really. Uncle doesn't let anyone come into hi
