  79. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

When I continued to hold his hard gaze with my defiant one, he let out a sigh. “All right.”

“All right?” Shocked, I watched him. I wanted him to agree, but I didn’t know he’d agree that soon.

“Yes. I’ll pull my men off your back. Happy now?” His facial expression was too blank to read.

“Promise me.”

He nodded. “I promise not to send my men after you.” He promised. That meant he wouldn’t break it. He never broke his promises to me.

A smile broke out on my face.

“Now, what’s the other one?”

My smile faltered, remembering his audacity. “You made me the equal owner of everything you belong. Undo it. I don’t want your money. Who did you ask before taking this decision? Did you really think I’d be interested in your property?”

The astonishment and shock in his eyes were clear. But he masked them soon, clearing his throat. “How did you know? And of course not, Rosebud. I’ll never think of you like that.”

“It doesn’t matter how did I know. And if not that, then why the hell did you do it? I don’t have any interest in your business. Change it!”

“I’m sorry, Rosebud. I can’t agree to this condition of yours.”

“Why?” I snapped. “I said I don’t need them. Why does everything that belongs to you would belong to me too? I’ve no right on them!”

Leaning in, he pressed his forehead against mine. “Because I belong to you, my Rosebud. Just like you belong to me. So, everything that I own automatically becomes yours. It’s the truth. And I just made it official. Nothing unexpected.”

My breath hitched, heart fluttered inside my chest. A blush rose in my cheeks.

“T-that doesn’t make any sense. I don’t need anything from you.” Why did his words have such an effect on me all the time?

“I know. But I need you to accept it. Everywhere my name will be, I want yours beside mine,” he said, peering down my soul. “And if something happens to me, I’ll rest in peace knowing that everything I worked hard for will be in my Rosebud’s hands.”

A chill ran through my veins as something squeezed my chest at the thought of losing him. “What do you mean? What will happen to you? Don’t talk rubbish!” my voice rose as I spoke, hands fisting on his shirt.

Why would he say something like that?

FORTY-FOUR: PERVERT

A soft chuckle left him. “Of course, Rosebud. Nothing will happen to me. I’m just stating facts.”

“Then it’s a really absurd one! And you’ll emotionally blackmail me to get me into your court now? Because that’s not happening!”

“I’m not blackmailing you. And what’s done is done. It’s not negotiable anymore.”
