A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Tanner had only gone in to take a quick shower and came out wearing a bathrobe in no time.

Then he saw his wife hanging up the phone with flushed ears.

Though he looked aloof as ever, only he knew how lost he felt.

He knew he had gone overboard last night, but he couldn't hold himself back, just like how he was on the verge of berserk then.

She could smile at everyone but had only pain and suffering in her eyes facing him.

Though Eliza was well spent, she was wide awake, hearing Tanner's mockery at her loud and clear.

She looked up and immediately saw him leaning against the door with his short hair still dripping with water.

As rays of sunlight shone through the window, stars seemed to have formed in his fathomless gaze. His eyes were bright, giving her the false impression that he was looking at her with deep affection.

But the frost beneath his eyes was evident.

She gazed quietly at him. He was forever superior and incredibly handsome to her. Like how he looked to be God's finest creation, ethereal, even when he was only standing there.

But what about herself? She was nothing but a ragdoll looking up at the unreachable beauty.

They were worlds apart. Tanner, the only son of the Deleon family, was too good for Eliza, the feral child of the Stone family.

Eliza grew up a child deprived of love, so she'd feel somewhat inferior. The more brilliant Tanner was, the more she dared not approach him.

But who could understand her sadness and bitterness? She was starting to lose herself.

Not wanting to face him, she looked away, buried her face in the pillows, and closed her eyes. It felt as though she didn't have to face external stress like an ostrich.

But who was Tanner? Was he someone she didn't have to face just because she didn't want to?

He quirked his brow a little and strode to the side of the bed.

Feeling the sides of her pillow sinking, she looked up. Tanner's scent and warm breath got her heart racing, but what came next was like a wet blanket on her head.

"Eliza Stone, you are mine."

"You want to be with another man? Forget it."

His words got her closing her eyes once more.

He had believed that she was having an affair with Nicholas. But she didn't even get a chance at explaining.

Even though she had tried her best to restrain herself, her slightly frowning eyebrows exposed the discomfort in her heart.

Tanner had always been very observant, so he could easily catch her subtle expressions. However, he didn't put too much thought into it, only thinking she was feeling unwell.

He scooped her out of bed easily; though his actions were loud, he was surprisingly careful.

Eliza stiffened, feeling a chill as the covers lifted. Tanner was gentle with how he carried her, not hurting her.
