"What's the matter with you now?" As he poured him a drink, Bruce inquired.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sit back and relax, mate. I've got to make sure she's safe." Anthony sipped his bourbon. "My wife is my entire galaxy, and I am merely a star in it. She's my entire world, man. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to her." Anthony was on a mission to figure out who was trying to ruin his happiness.

"Can you just tell me everything is well between you two?" Bruce was the one who inquired.

"I really want to take her in my arms, but she isn't that interested in me. I'll never be able to blame her. However, our families were the ones who decided on our marriage."

"I'm always there for you, bro."

Bruce rubbed his back and didn't mention Megan's visit to Anthony. Right now, he'd become more emotional. Bruce was perplexed as to why Megan had shown up.

That incident occurred a week ago today. Everything returned to normal, but only a few things had changed. Bella was in the same room as him. To her surprise, he did not object. And he wasn't as cold as he had been.

She's curious as to what happened to frosted Anthony. Who was always glaring and cursing at her. He was quite cool.

And the crowning success was that they slept together. No, nothing nefarious.

All you have to do is cuddle and snuggle. It occurred four days ago when she was unable to sleep.

He'd sweep her up and whisk her away to his chamber. As a result, they were sharing a bed.

She felt a sense of relief. She was spending time with him, but it was insufficient. They argue when she wakes up, but she knows he'll still meet that blonde.

While painting her nails, she said, "Blondes are idiots."

She can take care of herself.

'You, too, are blonde.' 'You're the despo.' Her inner critic chastises her.

Keep your mouth shut.

She was exhausted. Anthony was still at office. She was starting to grow hungry. She made her way to the kitchen.

Something sweet. She did a little snooping and came away with a large slice of cheesecake. She took a deep breath when she realised she wanted to drink his dark bitter coffee.

Everything seems harsh and bitter She laughed and poured herself a cup of dark coffee.

She drank it all up. It was excellent. She devoured the entire meal. Her phone suddenly rang. Anna was the one.

"Girl, have a look at this." Her heart slowed to a halt. She was in the office at the time. It was a photo of Megan and Anthony in his office together.

Her brows were wrinkled. It was getting out of hand. As a result, he desired to keep her secret so that he could live as a bachelor.

It's not going to happen. Megan needs to be cleared up with.

Megan's matter needs to be clear. She was married to Anthony she can't let him have anything do with Megan anymore. She was quite possessive of her King.

X X

Everyone was looking at her.

"You." In front of his office, a blonde receptionist snarled.

" Yep, it's me again, and you're going to see a lot of me." Bella had brought a lunchbox with her. He was notorious for skipping meals. She had prepared some of his specialties for him.

She paused and examined again; this one, too, is blonde.

WTF! Is there a hidden passion for blondes in his life? She was feeling insecure.

She was dressed casually in denim shorts and a tank top. Yes, it's a tad steamy. She wasn't going to be completely silent, though. She'd wreak havoc on his life.

He'll be preoccupied with me. I'll annoy him as much as I can because he doesn't have time for anything else.

She thought evilly.

She took a lollipop from her pocket and began sucking on it. She felt a lot of eyes on her all of a sudden. She was feeling a little shaky. She was, however, exhausted.

Alex was leaving his office when all of his paperwork and documents dropped out of his grasp. He was paralysed. He coughed and appeared to be uneasy.

"Wowww, that seems like a hot ass bomb to me." Anna blows a whistle. She did, however, frown.

"Are you crazy? This is supposed to be only for him. Don't you think it's a bad idea to give everyone a free presentation of your amazing body? I mean, you're a hot mess. However, sweetie. Control."

Bella's main aim was to get Anthony red handed with Megan in his office. But when she suddenly opened the door.

Her blood began to drain.

No, no, and no.

Megan wasn't the one who was with him.. Bella was stuck in the meeting room with the Boards of Directors when she opened the door, and Anthony was sitting there. The difficulty was that her and his father were also present.

When Jude first saw her, he had wide eyes. His skin was as white as a sheet. What the hell is going on here? She was doomed from the start. Their reputation,

"Ashley"

Anthony expressed himself quietly.

"Place those documents on the table. Anna should be informed. I'll check back later."

Bella was taken aback. Her lollipop was still stuck in her teeth. As she begins to function. He was attempting to save her ass. But his gaze was so strong that it sent shivers down her spine.

"Yes, sir," she replied.

Before things could get any more awkward for them, Bella turned and walked out of the room.

It was easy to locate his office, which was located at the end of the hallway behind a large oak door with a gold-plated name. Her heart was racing as she walked in.

When she heard a voice, she yelled, "You are?"

"May I introduce myself as Ashley?" She was unsure as well. She was Ashley right, according to Anthony.

He introduces himself as Christiano and shakes her hand.

"You're lovely," he said respectfully.

Awww, he's such a sweetie.

"Thank you," she said as she conversed with him.

Christiano was suddenly quiet as he grabbed up his paperwork and walked out of the office. Bella was trapped against the wall before she could turn. Her neck was stung by hot breath.

"I know you don't give a damn about society, but don't you think this stunt is outrageous? What are these revealing garments you're wearing?" Her neck was fanned by his breath.

Oh, my goodness! When you play with fire, you're almost certain to get burned.

She tried to deceive by saying, "I just dressed up like I did in college." She shoved him in the face.

"You've never worn a dress like this before. And you have no right to walk away like this in public." Right now, he was possessive. This was far too much revelling for going to work, and he might prefer it if she dresses in steamy hot way then she should have stayed at home alone with just the two of them.

Bella smirked. He didn't have any claim to her. She wasn't a piece of property.

"In my spare time, I wear your shirts around the house. Then you don't yell."

"It's not the same." He was a deadly devil in search of tranquilly. When he saw her barging in the door wearing this, he was hardly able to contain his rage. He intended to assassinate everyone.

He had to explain to Jude and his father that there was a girl working in the printing department who looked like Bella.

He had to inquire of them.

He was restraining himself but she was testing his patience. He was already in a mess. She bit her lips. He closed his eyes.

"What are you doing here exactly?"

"Nothing just looking for my company. Of you forgot half is mine." she shrugged as she sat down.

Anthony pinched his forehead. He was going to explode.

"You can come but dress properly next time ok." his jaw was clenched. He did not want to scream at her.

Damn his feelings making him soft for her.

"OK but as I'm here. I made a friend. What was his name. Yep. Christiano." she spinning the paper wait.

"You don't make friends with employees. Dman it." he was glaring at her as he spin her chair and put his both hand on the arm rest. Trapping her.

"I want to go out and have a good time. Is it just you and me? "He was questioned by her.

"Does it appear that I have a good time while working? I'm not leaving my work in the middle stay little longer. " He might have believed it. She has a tendency to act childish at times.

"Duh! Later, I was discussing about." She took his hand in hers and looked at his wristwatch to see what time it was. He took a step back and sat in his chair. He's buried himself in a mountain of work once more.

Bella had taken a seat. For him, this was rather distracting. He averted his gaze from her magnificent legs.

" A. N. T. H. O. N. Y... TONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

He gave her a playful glare and said, "Bella." he was happy right now, why not he liked the way she was acting. Right now, Anthony King was the centre of her attention.

I know, it's cheesy. His heart, on the other hand, was like marshmallow right now. She had only come to have fun. He was unable to accompany her to have fun. But he knows that she would straight drag him to some club to get drink and dance with strangers.

Bella stood and walked behind him. She studied his perfect body and the way his sleeves were rolled over his arms making her hot and dry at the same time.

"Tony." she bend down to his ear level and slowly blew air in his ear. Anthony was frozen all of second. It was like tsunami hit him. He blinked to maintain his gesture.

"You can't stay put right." he didn't look at her. It was hard.

"But I came to have fun." Bella pouted as she wrapped her arms around his neck from the behind and put her head on his right shoulder looking at the laptop screen.

"We made millions by Toronto deal. Great." she was studying the charts. When Anthony suggested, "You want to come to the office. Tell me?" he can't hold anymore as he pulled her towards him and she was on his lap as he was sitting on office chair.

"Office work is tedious, and I keep track of everything because of Anna." She messed around with his tie as well as the top two buttons on his shirt.

"Are you all right?" she inquired of Anthony. She drew a circle around his shoulders and chest muscles. "You have time to go to the gym. It's obvious to me." She traced every detail and muscle on his upper body instinctively.

Anthony was stunned and stretched out to kiss her but she didn't notice, but she took a big breath and hugged him tightly instead.

"I'm exhausted. I'm tired and want to sleep."

"If you want to sleep, you can." He embraced her even tighter in his arms and hit the button to lock the doors to his office and keep any noise out.

"You're warm," she said as she cuddled into his chest and closed her eyes with a sweet grin. Anthony had no idea what he should do. He gently took out his phone and dialled Anna's number.

"Bella is in my office and is currently napping. As a result, no one should bother us. Ok."

"Yes, sir," says Anna. Anna used a lot of winking emoji. Anthony stood and led her to the couch, gently laying her down and covering her body with his jacket, rolling his eyes and setting his phone away.

"You're a prankster with a lot of energy. Huh?" He gently caressed her cheek. She frowned and searched for her vanished warmth.

"Tonyyy." She called for him in her sleep, and Tony couldn't help but smile because she said his name in her sleep. "Please allow me to finish my work." Her handbag was extremely large, he noted.

He placed her handbag carefully, but he noticed it was heavy, so he peered inside and found two lunch boxes.

What?

When he saw something, he was about to put it down. To the box , a note stick.

"Don't go another day without eating. Mr. King, please eat it."

He took out his phone and dialled his home number. It was picked up by Elizabeth.

"The residence of the King. What can I do to assist you?"

"It's me," he said, surprised but hoping for the best.

He calmly inquired, "Did you bring lunch for me today?"

"Madame, on the other hand, is really concerned about you. She went to the kitchen and prepared for you because you were skipping meals." He couldn't hear anything after that.

His lips were adorned with a million-dollar grin. He didn't even look at the lunch box. He awaited her response to his request for food.

For the first time in his life, he was relieved that he had forgotten to eat his meals on time.

X-X

When Bella awoke, she was feeling much better, but she noticed she was still in the office as she looked at Anthony, who was still working.

"Anthony," she murmured, her voice hoarse. Anthony approached her right away and handed her a water bottle.

She thanked him and sipped from the glass.

"Did you eat?" she inquired.

He answered, "Nope," in a soft tone.

"I made you lunch want to eat your meal."

His pen came to a halt in the middle of the sentence. It was as if a fantasy had come true. Is it true that she just cooks for him? He had already double-checked with Elizabeth.

"Really?" Right now, he was vulnerable. If she said it was a joke, I'd believe her. He was never going to believe her again. She pulled out the lunch boxes, much to his surprise.

He couldn't believe she created his favourite, and to his surprise, it wasn't sweet or dessert-like. He was on the verge of pinching himself.

Was he hallucinating?

He began to eat slowly to savoring the moment as he grabbed up a spoon. Her stomach grumbled, indicating that she was hungry as well. He handed her his lunch and only took two little bites.

He'd sooner starve than starving her. Her eyes were closed in contentment. As he looked at the food, his grip tightened. Bella suddenly moaned with delight as the meal reached her tongue. He was becoming envious of the food.

Nice level of sinking in jealousy. And he thought it was just a cake and sweet things.

"Sorry." she said sheepishly as she offered him her half eaten food.

"I cooked it for you but in hunger I ate it." he waved his hand. He knew her love for food and sweets even he hated sweet things, he can buy whole damn chocolate kingdom for her.

"I wasn't hungry." he dismissed.

"Eat" she glared at him.

After eating, he ordered her not to move as she kept pestering him. He had called Anna few times but she bailed on him.

"Bella!! I really want to spend time with you but I have to finish this work. I'll take you out after this I promise." he said softly.

"When are we going home?" she asked as she hugged him again. Anthony really wanted to go with her but this deal was important as Wonton was getting ready for this one too. she saw it was five in the evening already. She fell for total workaholic.

"Thanks for the wonderful sleep Mr. King. Here is a kiss as payment." she placed a soft kiss on his right cheek.

He felt warm tingling as his face became red. It was first time and she kissed him.

He shrugged and said, "You can go look around, I'll be done by six."

"OK. I'll have to look into Christiano's situation "She stood and walked out of the room hopping like a happy bunny.

Anthony didn't seem to notice. He didn't blink as he watched it. When he heard the door close, his trance was broken.

She was on her way to the employee area. Jealousy consumed him. As if he'd let others to gaze at her in this way. Her body was just for him to see like this. He won't be able to control her, but he can learn to sail in her direction.

She was still dressed in her booty shorts.

Oh, no!!

Having a hot wife is a nightmare.
