Taming the Billionaire CEO ( Daniel Monroe )

“Get off “With all the strength in her, she pushed him off her, “-me! What is wrong with you?” she yelled, before bringing her voice down. 

Davis massaged his temples. “You’re attending an exclusive party with me tonight. It’s a party for only the elite of the elites in the business industry,” he straightened up and continued, “Although it’s strictly by invitation, you’re coming so I can announce you’re my wife.” 

How 

could he just ignore the fact that he just attacked me? She didn’t respond to him and instead glared at him. Asshole. 

He looked her in the eyes. “This means all eyes will be on you starting now so don’t go doing anything stupid,” he paused before adding, “especially since Williams and Daniel will be there.” 

“I won’t,” she said through gritted teeth, a forced smile on her face. 

“I’ll send you money to get ready and pick you up at 8 pm tonight,” he said and stood there for a while as though he wanted to say something, before sighing and leaving the room. 

He got in his car and let out a groan. “I shouldn’t have done that,” he admitted. 

Although he had gotten mad at her, most of his anger was directed at himself for not taking into consideration her feelings for Daniel. 

“I was so foolish to have believed she took revenge because she was over him,” he sighed, hoping his plan wouldn’t backfire. If it came to it, he’d have to handle her as well. 

He’d usually work alone, but he was tired of waiting and she was the only one who could work from inside the family. “Don’t make me regret working with you, Anna,” he said as he dialled Paul. 

“What do you need, sir?” Paul asked. 

“Send five–no, ten million dollars to Anna’s account,” Davis instructed. 

Realizing what it meant, Paul asked, “You’re not accompanying her to get ready for the event?” 

After what I did, I couldn’t face her yet. “No, I have other things to take care of. Besides, I’m already picking her up.” 

“Okay, sir,” Paul said and hung up. Putting his phone back in his pocket, he shook his head in frustration. “Will he be able to pull this off?” 

He had been with Davis for nearly all his life and knew he excelled at whatever he put his mind to, but he doubted he’d be able to pull off his act with Anna. 

Perhaps he’d be able to fake the marriage, but be in love? As someone who had been isolated and had further isolated himself from the joys of life, he knew nothing about love or romance. 

He immediately wired the ten million to Anna and turned to face a pale man who was bound before him. His body was marked with several fresh scars that were still bleeding and he looked half–dead

with his chapped lips and sunken eyes. 

Paul squatted in front of him, produced a knife from his pocket and hit the bloody man’s head with the butt. “You’ve rested long enough, time for the next round,” he boomed. 

The man’s eyes snapped open as he looked around in a frenzy. “Please, let me go!” he pleaded, struggling to break free from the ropes that bound him to the pole. 

“I will, once you tell me who sent you; I already did this before so stop making this hard for yourself,” Paul said with a tired groan. 

The man immediately went mute and after a while, spoke. “I can’t say,” he said through gritted teeth. 

“You really are stubborn, aren’t you?” Paul nodded with a sigh, “Fine then. Let’s begin the next round then. Bring in the acid, salt and pepper!” he yelled out to the men around him as he drew a line 

on the man’s arm with his knife. 

“Please, please! Don’t!” the man yelled frantically as he struggled even harder, not caring it was making him sustain more cuts from the knife. What was coming was a lot worse. 

“Then speak,” Paul said softly. 

“Fine… I’ll talk,” he finally caved in and Paul took back his knife.

“I’m telling you, he’s such a jerk! Even Daniel didn’t treat me that bad,” Anna fumed with a scoff as she finished her rant and plopped down on Lily’s bed. 

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Anna questioned when Lily didn’t say anything. 

“So you’re telling me Daniel is better than Davis?” Lily asked after a while, a deep frown on her face. 

Anna nodded fervently, “Precisely.‘ 

Lily let out a sigh, “I’m sorry, Anna, but I can’t support you on this one,” she said in a serious tone. 

“I know you don’t-“Anna started. 

“Just stop with your nonsense already,” Lily snapped, catching Anna off–guard. 

“It’s your life, which is why I watched you get married to that piece of garbage two years ago because you wouldn’t listen to me. For two years, I bared your delusions and the lies you made up to cover up how he was mistreating you- 

-And now, you’re finally out of that goddamn marriage and you’re even taking revenge on him and his family for using and disposing of you like you didn’t give your all to them, but what did you say after I warned you about him taking advantage of your feelings?” 

“Lily, I didn’t invite him in, he just came in,” Anna defended herself. 

“Yeah, you didn’t, but you should have immediately chased him out of your room. What would have happened had I not shown up then? Would you have gone all the way with him?” she questioned.

Anna hesitated for a while, before answering in an unsure tone. “No.” 

Lily scoffed, “You can’t even be sure of yourself. I get it, Anna, you love him. I’ve been in love too but when it became toxic, I left. It took a very long time, but I actively tried to get over him-” 

-I barely like Davis, mainly because I don’t know him and he’s just rude, but he has every right to get angry at you. Although he’s super secretive, it’s clear his business with the Monroes is no joke and he’s serious about taking revenge on them so you knowingly or unknowingly fooling around with Daniel isn’t something he’ll take well-” 

“-Besides, you claim you want him to trust you so you can work better with him but how exactly do you think that’ll happen with all these?” she sighed and sat next to Anna, “I know you love Daniel but don’t tell me you’re trying to get over him because deep down, you’re trying to find a way to win him back-” 

“-And that is what makes me so annoyed.” Anna was unable to speak because Lily was right about everything. 

“Of course, that doesn’t excuse Davis’s action towards you, that’s just him being an asshole but you are being unfaithful. Fake marriage or not, he’s now your husband, so you can’t try to sleep with other men, especially the enemy. It’ll create a weakness Daniel can take advantage of,” Lily said. 

“I… I don’t know what to say,” Anna said. 

“Just think about it and bury your feelings for that piece of shit who wants to use you again, then trash you. But you can do all that after we go shopping for the gown you’ll wear to the party,” Lily said and Anna nodded. 

“Yeah, let’s go,” she muttered. 

“Don’t think about it too much, Anna. Just run when you see Daniel, even if he’s drowning,” Lily said as she locked the front door. 

A smile lit Anna’s face. “I’ll try that”
