The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 35

Chapter 35: The last dinner

Anya decided to apologize no matter what.

"Well, I apologize if I entered somewhere I should not have." Anya said Daniel could easily

hear the confusion in her voice.

Daniel looked at her while considering what to say. He wondered if she would protest. He had just come to understand that Anya was headstrong and independent, but most of all independent of him. She could mix with others, but she kept a clear line between them.

"From now on, you're staying home," Daniel declared, his voice firm with authority. "You're confined to the estate until you're fully healed, understood?"

Anya's

eyes widened in shock at Daniel's decree. Confined? Her? Why?

Was she a live-in concubine from an ancient era? He was actually confining her at home. She had known that Daniel was a bit extreme, but she hadn't expected him to confine her to the estate like a prisoner.

"How can you just lock me inside?" Anya protested, her voice reeling with frustration. "I can't just stay cooped up in here forever. I am not some animal to be kept in a cage!"

Call anyone, and they will come to you. But as for the matter of you leaving this house till I say so." Chapse 15 The last unter

"You cannot keep me here," Anya protested.

"Someone was hired to abduct you," he said, and she froze. Seeing her reaction, he left those words hanging in the air. Daniel turned on his heel and left.

"You should prepare. We have to attend a diner at the family mansion," he said, and Anya looked up to realize that he was still there talking from the doorway.

"Why do I need to be there?" she asked. She did not like being around his family.

"Everyone from the family must be there, and if I remember correctly, you are still married to me," he said and shut the door.
