The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 20

Chapter 20: Investigating a set up

Looking at the hurt look in Anya's eyes, Daniel felt slightly uncomfortable. But her words. made him sneer slightly.

"Oh? You have forgotten so quickly? You wanted this marriage. My grandfather offered you a chance to be my wife and you took it, even when asked you to back off. You knew he could force me to marry you, but you did not mind. What happened? You suddenly regret it?" he asked.

This was the twenty-first century. Why should you marry someone just because your grandfather forced you? She had thought that since he had not rejected the marriage too much, he was not so adverse to her. He was a grown man and had decided to enter the marriage with her.

"Don't worry. When this cruise is over, I will sign the divorce papers like we agreed," she assured him and walked over to where her luggage was and started opening the complicated lock.

He had ignored her, hoping that she would get tired and ask for a divorce. He got what he wanted, but why did he dislike it?

Anya ignored him and tried opening the suitcase She fiddled with the combination till she got it. Only then did she look back up his way with a frown.

"Is there something else you need?" she asked and he shook his head absentmindedly.

"Can

I please be left alone?" she asked and he nodded and left the room. He had completely forgotten that he had come over to scold her. He had not even realized that she had asked him out till he left the room and shut the door behind him. He stood there staring blankly for a while, till someone shook him out of his daze. He looked up to see his younger brother, Jason.
