THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11

She shouted at the man who insisted on eating with her but couldn't wait for her meal to be finished. Every minute, he tried her patience, and she could feel her anger boiling up inside her. However, he must have probably noticed the way she glared at him.

"Your fury is vicious, Dani, but we need to discuss... about our predicament." His tone was grim, as was his expression. This morning, he had been considering how to be candid with the woman about his current situation, and how to get their marriage dissolved as soon as possible.

"If you have been previously married, Marcus, we will not have an issue. If you're concerned about the annulment expense, I'll cover it," she offered to cover any costs associated with their annulment.

"I'm still in love with Veronica, and living with you would be forbidden," he revealed of his first wife.

To be honest, she hadn't anticipated it, even if he was really gorgeous. "What is her name?Veronica?"

"Yes. My first wife is Veronica," he said.

Daniella set the ladle down on the counter and confronted him. "You previously stated that you are not married, but now Veronica is your wife?" She was enraged at his deception! However, she should be relieved that he is married, correct? "Therefore, our marriage must be declared null and invalid! Marcus, if you can find a way out of here, you are free to leave. I may just inform Paloma that you have been taken by an extraterrestrial," she replied, and Marcus chuckled. She was not being amused when she mentioned the extraterrestrial, so how could he have laughed?

"I was previously married. That is, she is no longer alive. It's a lengthy story, but I still love her," he stated to put their differences to rest.

How devoted! However, some individuals are. "I see," she responded.

"I told you about it so you wouldn't suppose I was about to fall in love with you." Marcus feared that the woman might develop affections for him while he was a guest in her home.

What exactly did he say? What makes him think she'd fall in love with him? Amazing! His imagination was quite remarkable and vivid. "Are you sure?" Daniella shook her head, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"I apologize if I offended you, but as you know, some ladies fall quickly, especially when...we are alone." Marcus had no idea why he enjoyed tormenting Daniella until her nostrils flared and her blood began to boil. "You were already smitten with me in Hong Kong, Dani. Thus, it would be only a matter of time until that attraction developed into something more...like love." He continued to annoy her until her eyes were on fire and she slashed him with daggers.

"Correction. Marcus, I was not drawn to you. You just have everything I was seeking for in a man to become the father of my kid," she claimed. To be honest, she was still taken by his looks. It was a foregone conclusion that she would fawn over him based on his eyes alone. She made no notice of his wavy hair, which seemed as though the wind was always messing with it. And his lips - gosh, they were unbelievably kissable, and she wished she could chew on them endlessly.

"You're a liar," he stated. He proceeded to tell her that it was implausible that she was not physically attracted to him. Marcus felt she looked gorgeous as her cheeks grew crimson.

"I hope you're not so impolite as to remind me," she said.

"I am accountable! I'm sorry, but can't we simply be friends? After all, if we work together, we can solve our problem. Are you not of the same opinion, Dani?" If they became friends, he would have an easy time seducing the woman.

Daniella considered it before opening her mouth to respond. "Yeah, why not?" If remaining courteous with him might help her escape the mess she had made, she would give it a go. "We must cooperate, Marcus." She extended her hand to him in exchange for a handshake, which he accepted. Daniella felt something send shivers down her spine as soon as their hands touched, and she promptly withdrew her hand from the handshake.

"Do not tell me you will miss me, Dani." Marcus noticed a gleam of grief in her eyes, but she may have lied about being comfortable with his tearing a section of her house down. That, indeed, must be it! He would, however, appreciate Daniella telling him she will miss his presence in the house, even if it is a lie.

"That is never going to happen, Marcus." She responded defiantly. To be honest, her tone was rather guarded, but she would never forget him.

"I was only stating," Marcus explained.
