THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10

When he noticed Daniella's position in the bed's centre, he cursed. How was she able to sleep quietly with her arms and legs spread wide apart to the point of occupying the entire bed? The woman made no attempt to change into something more suitable for sleeping, such as pyjamas or nighties. She went to bed wearing the same flowered gown she wore when he came this morning. It's revolting! And she snored as well! His gaze then locked on something dark...in her underarms. He moved away, closing his eyes. He'd never share a bed with Daniella. No surprise she needed to go a great length to find someone like him. However, she might purchase underarm whitening with the money she has in her bank account, or perhaps she was simply not fond of grooming herself. Marcus was accustomed to sleeping nude, but he covered himself completely tonight. He would never let his wife see his nude figure again in order to avoid being her target once more.

Meanwhile, Daniella tittered as she observed Marcus's eyes narrowing in response to the sight of her black underarms. He must have been one of those who found it repulsive. However, he was justified in hinting that he would sleep with her on her! The audacity! It was simple to apply black eye shadow to her underarm, and she made certain it was visible to him. The man was amusing to see as he attempted to conceal his endearing figure from her eyes. Daniella shifted her position before to ceasing to snore.

She was scheduled to discuss it tomorrow, but she just couldn't wait. She was eager to see whether he had a wife waiting for him... Then their marriage would be null and invalid.

"Are you still awake, Marcus?"

He found it difficult to sleep in a room with a lady around. Daniella was still a woman...and his wife, despite her black underarms and seldom washing. "Yes, but why?" he said.

When Daniella heard him talk, she rose from her bed and approached him. "I'm simply curious as to whether you have a wife," she inquired.

"Of course," he said, but wondered why she felt the need to approach him in order to ask her foolish question. Was she unaware that they got married the previous morning?

When she heard his response, a fresh hope rose within her heart. Yes! She was relieved she hadn't waited until the next day to approach him. "In such case, we are not required to annul our marriage." As she stated.

"How come not?" He sat up straight when she discussed postponing the annulment she mentioned following the marriage.

"You said that you have a wife; thus, our marriage was null and void from the start!" Her voice was excited as she envisioned Paloma's response upon hearing it.

"It is you...stupid!" He rolled his eyelids and resumed his sleeping posture.

Daniella felt disappointed because she had become thrilled for no reason! "It's inconvenient to sleep on the sofa," she said, and was ready to offer him the guest room adjacent to hers, but the man was not interested in hearing it.

"I'm OK." He responded and motioned with his hand for them to leave him alone.

Daniella brought her feet back to the bed with a nod. She was not afraid of Marcus since she recognized him as a decent man. No, she should put him out of her mind! She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

However, Marcus remained there in her dreams even when she slept. Or perhaps she should refer to it as a nightmare! She massaged her eyes and regarded the timepiece. It was around five a.m. She got enough sleep if she counted the hours, but why was she still tired?
