I finished my breakfast trying not to think about anything. A Cold shiver of dread skated down my back as I heard a loud thud out of the door. I hurried out of the room. The man was on the ground, blood was running from his nose, mouth. When I looked up, I gasped and reared back, hitting the door with my back. "Evie," He advanced his steps toward me. "Assassin!" I squealed in fear. He immediately halted between us, stopping Aarav away from my back. Aarav ran his hands through his dark hair, spinning away. His back was on me. I heard him cursing multiple times. Both hands were shoved in his pockets. I looked around for Rose. Should I be scared of him? Can he harm me? "You don't need to fear?" He said, turning to me. "Why did you marry her?" I was worried about Rose. She wouldn't have been familiar with his cruel side. ''Because I love her, " He spoke softly. "I don't trust you," I took a step back. Duante had recently war
I couldn't suppress the grin that appeared on my face. I opened my eyes and I wasn't alone this morning. My leg rested over his thighs, and my hand was over the small mountains over his abdomen. His eight abs. The most handsome man. My man. I couldn't stop myself from poking the tip of my finger on one of his abs. My smile was broadest, recalling our memories. My heart began to pound when I raised my gaze to him and found him looking back at me. His expression was schooled. He arched his eyebrows. I should control my usual habit, pressing his abs to see his strength. "Good morning," I chuckled. I was a little nervous. He is unpredictable. He could break my finger. He pushed himself up on his elbow, shadowing over me. I gulped, my smile wavered. He wouldn't hurt me. Would he? He drew his face closer. I tightly shut my eyes. Fear tightened my stomach. I felt his lips on my cheek, "Morning, love." His voice was a slow whisper. I was stunned an
I crossed over the calendar. Forty-Five days! The plane had landed in New York. But I wasn't staying there any longer. I traveled by road and reached this beautiful place, Alberta, in Canada My small house was surrounded by green, tall trees. Thanks to Assassin. There were enough pounds in his wallet to travel and rent a beautiful small house. There were two bedrooms in the wooden polished house, one kitchen, one bathroom, and a small living area. Enough for me. I have a job. I miss him. I woke up every morning crying, I cried before sleeping. My job kept my mind away from his thinking but my heart, my heart never stopped enchanting his name. I didn't dare to speak his name. He must be finding me in every possible place in the world. He wouldn't come here. I worked for an advertising company. Assistant! It involved—event managing, carrying files and tea and coffee for my boss, calendar work, email, and phone etcetera kind of stuff. It paid the rent of the hou
I put on the golden dress and ran my shivering hand on the fabric. I could feel the goosebumps on my skin. It still made me jump out of my skin when the sight hovered in my mind. I shook my head. ' I'm not thinking about him. ' I grabbed my matching golden clutch and shoved the keys and my phone in it, but I stopped when I saw Lucinda's message pop up on the screen. She wanted me to come soon, an hour before the party's beginning time, and check out the arrangements, catering, and decorations. The new owner of the publication was coming. I dropped the phone in and clicked it to lock. I locked the door and turned to my car. My heart began to thud loud when I saw that black car again at the same place. Everything stilled inside me for a second. He could be a stalker, or Duante, or Assassin. I don't know. I hurried to my car and opened the door. I got behind the wheel. I was watching the car through the corners of my eyes. Panic started to
DUANTE'S POV Anger burned through my veins when I saw one of the foes pointing his gun at my wife. I pulled out the gun from my holster and pointed at him. I could see her shivering. I turned my gaze to the target and pulled the trigger twice. The first pierced through his scalp and the second cut the rope he was holding for his dear life. Anger shimmered through my skin. Dread clung to her face. Her eyes shut and she fell to the ground. I reached for her and bent down. I took her in the ring of my arms and ran my hand and gazed at her back. She was fine, just unconscious. I stifled my anger and let out a slow breath. The door opened behind us, "Aakash, call the doctor." I rushed the words out of my mouth. "Yes, boss." He said. I scooped her up and strode out of the room to my suite. "Situation is under control," Willam said. Drake was assigned something important. I nodded. My gaze was sweeping around. I caught
Dread shimmered in my big eyes as I woke up with a jerk. I gasped when I saw him sitting on the single couch like a king. Our gaze locked. My eyes blinked as they needed to shut. My gaze traveled down. His sleeves were methodically folded up to his elbows, showing off his forearms, tanned and strong arms. I felt at his mercy. I drifted my gaze around. He didn't speak a word or walked over to me. I wasn't certain about his memory store. Quickly, I jumped out of the bed and hurried to the door. He did not try to stop me. I looked back at him confused. He flashed an Innocent smile, totally opposite from his personality. I didn't know what to say to him. "Considering to run away, wife?" He cocked his head and glanced at me. His smirk didn't waver. "I'm not your wife." I never said it. My throat is clogged. It hurt so much. "I never submitted them." He said. I blinked. I took a step ahead, "What do you mean?" I snorted. "You're my wife.
We were back in New York, "Why New York?" I asked, turning to him. "Mini and Rose were missing home." He said. I was still upset with them. I wasn't going to talk to them. I shook my head. I didn't want to contemplate them. I smiled at being home after months. Duante did not remember anything. Which I was doubting now. There must be a reason behind it. He must have wanted to catch the stalker at any cost. It could have been related to him. I have to play my part too. I'm his wife. I'm not leaving him alone in anything. S**t! I will punish him for sure doing that to me. The driver pulled over the car. Duante stepped out first and he held the door for me and extended his hand. I ignored his hand and slithered ahead to the door. He blocked my way, "You love to do this." He taunted. "I haven't forgotten you forced me to sign without my will and then you didn't ask me before bringing me home." I snapped. He arched his brow, "You were ea
I got up hearing his robotic voice. I smiled and curved onto my back. I felt uncomfortable. Gradually, I opened my eyes. Confusion engulfed me. Why was the roof seeming so low? Why were the walls covered with white clothes? I rubbed my eyes and stared around me. All I could see was the same white cloth covering me from all sides. "I want the blueprint ready before last evening." Duante! I heard him say, "Fix the meeting with engineers." Another order. Oh! No! He's attending his meeting. Why didn't I notice it? He would kill me? No! Not kill. He'll beat me in a way that won't hurt the baby but me. A shiver slithered down my spine. "Tom, I want you to inspect the site again and I need more details on marketing." Duante said. Only his voice was booming in the room. Tom. He always sits on the right or left chair next to the head chair. I crawled on my knees and hands. My heart was pounding in my chest. I was frightened of getting caught. My hand w
