All Chapters of Beyond the betrayal : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dorian's POV Anna was so stunned at the kiss that she remained still and didn't pull away as I went on. Though I couldn't hear it, I could tell that her heart was beating fast. As I pulled back, I could see the hungry look in her eyes and she bit her lips which only made me want her more.I knew I had awakened feelings buried within her as it had undoubtedly been a while since she had been kissed. Though I couldn't be so sure, she didn't appear to be seeing anyone after the split with Marcus.As she caught my lingering gaze, she became self conscious and looked away. I knew she didn't want me to see how much she wanted me but she didn't know I was feeling the same way too.It was all I could do to rein in my desires and not take advantage of the situation. I didn't want to do anything she didn't want and I wanted to be sure she was comfortable with it. I cupped her cheek, redirecting her gaze back to me. Her face reddened with my touch and she inched closer to me as her lips quive

Dorian's POV As we pulled up near the docks, the smell of the night air changed. The atmosphere was damp with salt and so foggy that it was hard to see anything. Naturally, we reduced our speed because of the poor visibility.Besides me, the amateur was shaking like a leaf, I could feel his hands trembling and I knew it wasn't as a result of the cold. He was no doubt scared of whoever sent him.I kept a firm grip on his shoulder to remind him of what would happen if he tried anything funny.Just as we neared Pier 16, beams of headlights cut through the darkness. Three cars pulled in around us, boxing us in. Ben tried to drive back quickly but it was no use. We were already surrounded on every side with no way to escape.The back door of the lead car, and a figure stepped out, backlit by the glaring lights. Several other men followed, each holding their stance with the type of composure that only comes with confidence—or worse, experience.“Step out of the car,” a voice called, echoin

Anna's POV Styling my hair, I felt slightly nervous. My mind wouldn't stop replaying last night's scene, and I sweated. Seeing Dorian again was something I hadn't truly prepared for, and it made me feel anxious. I let out a deep breath and picked up my phone. It was time to leave home, time to see... Dorian again~ I pressed a finger on my lips and rubbed it gently. Heck, this is hard! I shook my head and dropped my bag on my shoulder. The time wouldn't have waited for me, and as a worker, I needed to get to the office as fast as I could. Leaving the house, my mind wouldn't stop replaying last night's incident, and the more that happened, the more I felt conflicted and wondered if I should just return home. I stared at the company, hiding the thoughts in my mind, but my legs refused to move. A part of me wanted to go in, but a bigger part wanted to run away. It wasn't as if I didn't want to see Dorian... but, Shit! Too nervous~ Way too nervous ~ I hit my forehead and decid

ANNA'S POV "Can I go in now?" I asked Brenda again. I'd been waiting for Dorian to resume the office for hours, and my mind was restless. I couldn't even work properly as I was worried about him. However, just a few minutes ago, I heard someone talking about how the boss resumed too late, which was unusual, and my heart skipped a beat. I quickly stood up from my seat and made my way out to see him, but who would have expected that Brenda would stop me with her body? She wasn't saying a word, but her action was enough to show me her stance, which surprised me. Brenda looked at me and shook her head, "Mr Dorian is not in his office," She gently replied, and I frowned. "What do you mean? Mr Dorian entered his office a few minutes ago, and everyone saw him. What are you saying?" I was getting annoyed. Could it be that Dorian was really avoiding me? "He's not. I don't know where you heard that fake rumor from, but the boss is really not around at the moment," She lied again. A

ANNA'S POV I was shocked, my eyes widened in disbelief, and I found it hard to think straight. What was that? What did he just do? Heck! I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him off me! I stood up from my seat and glared at him. I could tell my face was red at the moment, and it only went on to show how angry I was. How could he do that to me?! I pressed my fingers on my lips, unable to figure out what had just happened. The fact that he kissed me came so suddenly that I found it hard to believe it had just happened. Daniel... He was just a friend. He was a friend I even sacrificed my weekend for, a friend I decided to see when I was supposed to be playing at home, but he had the guts to betray me this much. I shook my head and tried to calm my raging heart. I felt the urge to rip him apart but kept it in. I needed to be calm... I needed to think. "Why? Why did you do that?" I asked, staring at him, and I could feel the trembling of my lips. I knew I was weak at the
