MISTAKE 18

Chapter 18: Possessive.

Anyá tried to get him off lier, but he wouldn't move.

"Mr. Shaw," she called him. She was getting annoyed by his crossing the line.

""Daniel," he said and she was confused.

"What?" she asked.

"Call me Daniel.

e you going to call me Mr. Shaw when we share a bed?" he asked.

"Those words are quite misleading," she frowned.

"Is it wrong? We do share a bed," he said, his face still buried in her neck.

"If you tell me, why you were so triggered earlier, I will call you by your name," she bargained and he finally stopped nuzzling her.

"I heard you met with someone today. A man, that Dr.. Steele," he said.

At his words, Anya forcefully turned around while his arm was still strongly wrapped around her. Soon, they were face to face. They were basically pressed upon each other. She could even feel his breath on her face, but she was too angry to care.

"You are questioning me, you?" she asked. Seeing her anger, he felt her accusation. He could tell she was referring to his relationship with Selene. He was not sure why he liked holding her in his arms. She fit just right. She smelled just right.

"Your driver, Grey, saw you two together. The staff are of the assumption that you are going to marry me, he heard you call him by his name. He heard him flirt with you. He thought someone was praying in my corner so he decided to warn me," he explained and she raised a brow.

"He heard our conversation?" she asked, "He was not even in the dessert shop. What, can he read lips?"

"Yes," he answered.

"How many of your staff can?" she asked.

"All of the security can," he answered and noticed her caution rise and found himself immediately panicking.

"They work for the family. No one would use it unnecessarily. They only read lips to get an understanding of the situation," Daniel said.

Anya felt that he was trying to comfort her, she found she was bothered by his tone, as she slowly calmed down.

, you got angry because I met a man? It can't be that you are jealous right?" she joked but was met with silence. Her eyes rounded out into globes.

Her heart drummed in her chest. Jealous? How is that possible?

"You can't be serious. Is that why you insist that I call you by your name?" she asked. It was clear she did not believe it. He did not like her, and talked more about loving her. Anya did not want to continue deceiving herself. "Don't you think it is odd for you to call me Mr. Shaw in this situation?" he asked, gesturing to how they are postured.

"Isn't it because you..." she started to say, but trailed off.

"I what? You are insistent on putting up boundaries. No matter what, it is odd to ask your husband by his last name, right?" he asked dangerously and she could not hold her gaze.

"When you wormed your way into becoming my wife, you acted as though you were all in love. Where is the love now?" he stared at her fair face and said coldly.

"We are forced to live together. Can we try to be civil while we are at it?" she asked.
