Forced Marriage To The Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 19

AUTHOR'S POV

“ I am doing this because I love you. ” He whispered close to her lips and Sara's fight or flight response activated instantly.

Her hand shot up to slap him right across his face, before she pushed him away from her. Her eyes glared at the darkness in front of her.

“ Do. Not. Touch. Me. Again. ” Her eyes burned as she hissed at him and heard the ragged breaths from in front of her.

“ You just slapped me? ” He chuckled out in disbelief.

Realization dawned upon Sara all of a sudden. Her hand shot up to cover her mouth in horror.

This man knew her ugly secrets and he was hell powerful. How could she just slap him so stupidly?! He could destroy her and she went around provoking him.

What's wrong with you Sara?! Her mind scolded her harshly.

But she couldn't hold herself back. When he touched her, she was already feeling disgusted by him. There was something familiar about this man though. His hand was soft against her skin just like Silas' and now Sara was sure that her peasant husband really managed to fuck her mind.

She was feeling him all around her and it was creeping her out now.

“ I am sorry. I didn't mean to... ” Sara coughed to clear her throat and apologized in a small tone.

“ So you are saying that you didn't mind me touching you? ” He wondered out in a loud voice and Sara's blood froze in her blood.

Her hands curled into fists as she tried to hold off her anger. She felt like slapping him once more. Perhaps, one slap was not enough to set this man's brain straight.

“ I prefer we both maintain our distance. ” She replied diplomatically, not wanting to provoke him further.

“ Why? ” The voice sounded too close like he had stepped closer to her.

Sara took a step back instinctively. Her breath was caught up her throat.

“ Because I am married. ” The words slipped out of her mouth smoothly, before she could register them in her mind.

Her eyes went wide and she took another step back from him.

“ Does it matter? ” He was unphased by her reason.

A frown etched upon Sara's forehead. Every time she stepped back, he took a step ahead. She could tell this by how close his voice sounded.

Does it matter? Sara asked this question to herself. She was forced into this marriage. She didn't love Silas. He didn't love her either. They both didn't care about each other.

So...Does it matter that she was married? She tried to find the answer in her mind, but failed badly.

There was no answer to this.

“ I take your silence as a big no. ” He said and stepped even more closer, as Sara's back hit something solid.

A wall. She flinched and glanced behind her. She was trapped.

Worst memories once again threatened to resurface but she kept them at bay. She had to deal with the man before her.

He didn't stop even when they were a breath away. He took another step forward and let his body press against her's. She held her breath back. The cold wall behind her was causing shivers to run up and down her spine.

“ I am the man you always wanted. Powerful and Successful. ” He tempted Sara and leaned in to let her feel his hot breaths fanning her face.

Sara pressed her head against the wall behind her to maintain distance from him. This man was such an asshole.

Sara pursed her lips in thin line thinking of what he just said. Ofcourse, he was all she had ever wanted as her husband, but the thing was...

She diverted her attention to something completely else. She let vengeance take up all the space in her heart, so no other emotion could ever reside in her heart which was already occupied.

“ You will believe me with time. ” He repeated the same words, that irked Sara out.

He was helping her. He was doing everything to coax her into leaving Silas and turn to him instead.

But she just couldn't...

Leave Silas.

The man in front of her was what she had always wanted, but the man at home was the one she was bound to.

“ Quit helping me just in hope that I will turn to you one day. ” Sara whispered out and turned around to leave from there.

Her heart was beating in her throat and sweat was coating her whole body displaying how nervous she was right now.

“ We will see. ” He replied carelessly, making Sara pause before she shook her head and stormed out of there.

As she stepped out of the office, she exhaled the breath she was holding back until now.

' We will see. ' His words echoed in her ears. He was so sure of it when he said this.

It was like he knew that his offer of leaving Silas and coming to him was too tempting.

What was there to see anyway?

Just her struggle against the temptation of the devil, who was the Chairman of Alexander group.
