The Return of The Betrayed Heiress

Chapter One Anastasia POV It was Monday, meaning another hectic day in the office but as always it was going to be tolerable because of my one and only love, my husband, Daniel Reed. However, he doesn’t like me coming around to the office since he thinks it is too much of a load for me. As I walked into the office, I was greeted by the receptionist with a warm smile. I had known him since my father was alive. It’s been five years and he is still the nice man I’ve known him for. “Good morning Mrs. Anastasia, i didn’t know you were coming in today.” He said, he was in his late forties and had black hair. “Good morning Alfred-” I “It's Mrs. Reed not Anastasia to you, she is your boss, not your friend and if you want to keep your job, then I suggest you address my wife by calling her Mrs. Reed,” Daniel said as he walked in from behind me. He stood close with his hands resting on my waist pulling me into him. It made me smile at his strictness but I brushed it aside and turned to him. He was glaring at Alfred and when I touched his face, he turned his attention to me and then his lips spread into a smile. “Daniel, you know Alfred and I go way back, there’s no need for the formality.” I tried to explain. “But you’re my wife.” He said and turned back to Alfred. “He should show you that respect.” “I’m sorry Mr. Reed, my apologies Mrs. Reed,” Alfred stated sincerely. “Sun-rise is supposed to send a representative today, make sure you get the details of the meeting to Mary-ann,” Daniel said as we moved past Alfred towards the elevator. As the door closed, I turned to Daniel who was more than happy to see my face. Although he was trying so hard to remain unbothered, I placed my hands on his chest and leaned closer to his face. “Are you still mad at me?” I asked with my siren eyes fixated on him, his eyes drifted down to my lips and then back up to my eyes. I pushed him further back until his back collided with the wall and I wrapped my hands around his neck while pressing my chest against him. The black body con dress made it easy for Daniel to feel all of my body, he inhaled sharply at my action and his hands reached for my waist. “I won’t be if you give me a kiss.” he bargained and I tilted my head to the side with a teasing smile. “Just a kiss? I thought you would want more than that, especially with how much you’ve been avoiding staring at me.” I pulled back lightly but his hands remained on my waist. “What do you mean? I have been staring at you.” He admitted but I shrugged and moved out of his grip. “No, no you haven’t. You have only stared at my face, you didn’t bother to complement my dress or my hair-” I swirled my hair which was packed in a high ponytail, Daniel’s gaze followed mine and for the first time, his eyes drifted down to the rest of my body. A calm warmth swept over me i reached backwards to the buttons of the elevator and blindly pressed on the button. “How could I have missed this-” he said and covered up the distance between us. “We have some time before we get to clock in,” I said suggestively and he grabbed my waist and pulled me into him. “Is that so?” he muttered and leaned in to kiss the top of my nose and then my lips. He pulled away and caught on the drunk look in my eyes, he had a similar expression in his dark eyes and leaned down to kiss me again. This time the kiss wasn’t light or soft, it was needy and intense. His hands drifted from my waist down to my hips and then my butt where he gently squeezed pushing me up against his hard-toned body. “Da-” his name died on my lips as his tongue slipped into my mouth. My heart raced in my chest and I was getting out of breath. I managed to pull away from his kiss but that didn’t stop him from latching onto other parts of my body. He muzzled his face in my neck and peppered the bare skin with kisses. “Dani-” the elevator was about to reach our destination. “We-” I stifled back a moan and closed my eyes as my body tingled in excitement. “We’re almost on our floor.” I managed to say but he didn’t budge. It was hard to also ignore the excitement sitting on his lower body- “Daniel-” I splayed my hand on his chest and managed to push him away at the same time the doors opened. Daniel on the other hand had plans, he grabbed my hands and pulled me along with him through the hallway ignoring the greeting from the secretary. He opened the office and closed it after we were both in. “Daniel- we-” But he didn't let me finish as he kissed me so hard that I staggered backwards and my back collided with the desk. He pushed me farther back and spread my legs as he stayed between them and reached out for my thighs in a strong grip. “You speak too much, let's just enjoy this part of the morning-” but he didnt get to finish as a knock came from outside. “Someone is at the- the door,” I muttered but he ignored it and wrapped my legs around his waist. The knock came again and I sucked in my breath and as he kissed my lips I gently bit his lips making him let me go. “Ge-” “There’s someone at the door, Daniel. It could be important.” “Sandra knows better than to interrupt me.” He adjusted himself and walked to the door which he pulled open. “Mum?!” “What were you two doing?” My eyes widened at the sudden visit from my mother-in-law.
