Chapter 1 Stalker

"Damn it, it's so careless to forget to lock own workspace!" Edbert cursed softly when he saw a woman who was about to open the door from behind.

The leader of the wealthy company accelerated his steps so that he could quickly get to where the woman was.

"Damn stalker! What do you want to infiltrate into my workspace?" That question coincided with the opening of the door to Edbert's workspace.

The woman immediately turned around, surprised by the curse from behind. 'Damn, damn, damn. Why does everything appear?' she thought.

Without thinking, Edbert immediately pulled the woman's arm into his room. Obviously, it is inversely proportional to what the woman named Cellie thinks.

"What are you doing intruding into my room? You don't have the slightest courtesy; can you not even know about privacy? I don't care who you are because from the start anyone is forbidden to enter this room!" Edbert insisted after taking a seat in his chair.

Cellie is left standing because there is only one chair around. There is a sofa, but it is quite far away. It's not possible either Cellie dares to sit there. Even though her current actions weren't quite right, he still had a polite attitude towards an elder, let alone one of a higher rank. For him, finding a sense of security is better than dealing with people in power.

"Asked not answered, instead dumbfounded. Do you have a mouth or not?"

"Just be patient, Sir."

"Where is the patience? I feel wronged here!"

"Make a loss? Loss from where? I'm not a thief who just grabs stuff; besides, I haven't been here yet. Origin-"

"It's quick to say a clear reason; no need to beat around the bush from earlier. I still have a lot of work to do," interrupted Edbert, shifting his chair to the Cellie side.

Cellie snorted harshly, trying to hold back the anger that had peaked. Even though she is patient, it is undeniable that the billionaire next to her is now very firm and stubborn, so it annoys her.

"Fast!"

"Yes yes. As long as Mr. Edbert knows, I really want to be honest without being asked. So, no need to force me to say everything; I am definitely not a thief. Please be patient!"

Edbert's temper grew when he heard the expression from Cellie. Really, he could no longer contain the anger that was on the edge. Even his eyes were rounded perfectly towards the Cellie.

"Once again, you beat around the bush; I will have the heart to announce your attitude to all employees here. It doesn't matter who you are to deliberately infiltrate here," said Edbert emphatically.

Lamp Cellie shrink. "Yes, Sir, yes. I'm here because of the demands of work."

"Damn!"

"It turns out that this is how Mr. Edbert talks to strangers? Swearing is never left behind." Cellie again ventured, conveying sarcasm directly in front of the billionaire next to her.

Edbert got up from the chair, sharpening his gaze right at Cellie. Get close to the front Cellie.

"Don't tell me you framed me!"

Unable to bear the piercing gaze, Cellie looked away. Trying to stay calm, understanding the current conditions, let alone hearing Edbert's outburst of anger right in front of her face with firmness.

"Hm, sorry if I made Mr. Edbert even more emotional. To be honest, I am an investigative journalist who has a duty from my superiors to find the truth about your past, which is said to be dark."

Edbert sharpened his eyes even more. It made Cellie courage shrink back, so find a way to arrange words that are more appropriate and polite. Now, Edbert's hands were clasped together.

"Sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to offend Mr. Edbert. But that's the reality. Actually, I'm not that interested; in fact, it's better to avoid dealing with important people like Sir-"

"Now what do you do? Is that how you say you're not interested?"

"Because I had to, Sir."

"Is it necessary for you to say? The reason?"

"Money."

"You stop this investigation right now! I will replace the salary offered by your boss." Edbert's gaze returned to what it was before, but there was a hint of hope in his eyes.

Strickly Cellie replied, "No!"

"Why don't you want? Isn't it the same? It's better to just quietly earn money than work hard as an intruder like this?"

Edbert's offer is tempting, but mindset Cellie is the opposite of that.

"I emphasize once again that I do not want to accept your offer. I don't want to receive money without hard work; that's just like lying."

"Now, I can take you to the various media regarding intruders at Star Company Tobacco who embarrass themselves." Edbert grabbed Cellie's wrist while continuing to stare at the woman's black bead.

Edbert's characteristic when talking to his opponent is always paying attention to the face and staring deeply. Not without reason; he just wants to ensure the honesty of his opponent through gestures in the face as well as eye contact. Not in vain, he also studied psychology.

"No. I don't want to; you don't have to force it, Sir. I admit I was wrong, and I also apologized earlier. What's still missing?"

Edbert felt deja vu, remembering his past figure again. There is little resemblance on the face, Cellie. There is a guess in the head about the Cellie figures which are actually. This made his emotions drop a bit.

"Yeah, relax. I think you look like someone."

'Ouch, terrible. This is something Mr. Edbert knows about me. He started to suspect that I looked like Isabell. We used to know each other when we were little, and I still remember it very well. Terrible, how about this? Are you being honest?' thought Camille, confused, as he looked away, not daring to meet Edbert's gaze.

"Be honest with me. Who are you?"

Cellie dared to look at Edbert again. "Earlier, I told you where I came from. Never mind, I really refuse your offer."

The reasons that Cellie explained earlier were ringing in his head. Edbert was confused, so he thought hard. Without even realizing it, his grip just slipped off Cellie wrist.

'This is a good opportunity; I have to make the best of it'. Cellie made preparations to escape from Edbert's room.

"Uh, where are you going?"

The sound of Cellie's first footsteps apparently made Edbert aware of the confusion that hit. Quickly, Cellie ran towards the door of the room.

Bang!

"Damn! Cunning woman, I'm careless again, I won't let that woman spread whatever about myself, even though it was just about the chat earlier!" Edbert cursed while hitting his desk with his own fist because his emotions returned.

Confusion arose again, remembering again the Cellie explanation. The fists slowly loosened as the emotions subsided.

"When my think about it, it doesn't make sense that the woman looks like the woman from the past. It was also clear that the woman said she was not interested in my life. But on the otherwise, I still doubt."

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking on the door distracted Edbert, so he couldn't help but step towards the door of the room. The thought paused for a moment; there was an agenda that he just remembered now.

Warning: 18+ content for mature audiences. Book Excerpt: Donovan's POV Her enchanting green eyes that were alive with passion the day I told her she could go shopping are pale with only despair dancing in them. "Oh, I'm quite aware of my duties as your wife, Mr. Castellano." My eyes darken at the formal use of my name. I've told her to stop doing that. It feels wrong. Like she doesn't belong to me. I clench my jaw as I wait for her to finish her sentence but her cold smile widens. "Ah, you don't like when I call you Mr. Castellano, right? Too bad. You can't force my mouth to say what you want to hear." Blood rushes to my groin as her words settle in the tensed air between us. Does she realize the gravity of what she'd just said? Does she know she'd moaned my name while I had her wet cunt in her mouth? Does she know how needy she'd been when she wanted me to take her even though she wasn't awake? And is she aware that I know how bad she wants me in her dreams while she pretends in real life to hate me? She glares up at me while I seethe, looking down at her. "It's Donovan," I say darkly, resisting the pull of her lips and maintaining my vision at her eyes. "Mr. Castellano," she retorts. My face draws closer, getting ready to give her a punishing kiss but a harsh sound fills the room and then I realize, belatedly, that I'd just been slapped as my face swings to the side, turning away from Eliana. Eliana slapped me. Luis Santario's daughter just slapped me. Just like her father had done many nights ago. Shame fills me but it's quickly trampled upon by hot, violent anger. How dare she? How dare the whore?! Her cheek instantly goes red with the imprints of my fingers. Blood trickles from her nose and her hair that was up in a messy bun scatters all around her face. Eliana's head remains bowed as the blood from her nose drips onto her white bedcovers. ***** Eliana's POV I know I'm signing my death warrant by provoking him like this but what else can I do when he's already planned to kill me? I could just as well make it easier for him to by getting on his nerves. If I don't push him away, I'm scared I'll start to blur the lines between my dreams and reality. The Donovan in my dreams is drastically different from the one in real life. If my plans to escape from this marriage don't work, I may end up dead or worst, in love with Donovan Castellano. And I'd rather die now than to fall in love with him and die later. *** Many years ago, Donovan Castellano went through something that irrevocably changed him for the worst, and Eliana's father was to blame. Years later, Eliana's father dies. Eliana doesn't know her father's dark past or why Donovan Castellano bought her and then married her. But she knows he's out for blood and wants to kill her, but how long will she continue to defend herself when the way he touches her and kisses her in her dreams is starting to blur the lines between reality and fiction? Will Donovan succeed in finally getting revenge on Eliana for what her father did to him and will Eliana succeed in resisting her possessive mafia husband's advances even when he says he wants her dead?
