The intoxicating heat radiating off Marcus brushed her cheeks, his sultry, drunken voice ringing in her
ears. “Darling”
Cornelia sobered up instantly She tried to push him away, but he was much bigger than her, pinning
her against the door. She was stuck “Marcus, you’ve got me mixed up with someone else I’m not your
wife”
“Comelia,” he called her name his voice gentle and heart stopping He reached up and pinched her
chubby cheek. “You are Comelia, my wife”
Comelia was on the verge of tears “Marcus fm your assistant Comelia, not your wife Cornelia We just
share the same name We’re not the same person

“Im not! You we really got the wrong person! As Marcus leaned in even closer, close enough to kiss her
Cornelia trembled in fear “Marcus, is this fair to your wife?”
Marcus paused for a moment, and Cornelia took the chance to push him with all her might
She didnt know if she was suddenly strong or he was too weak, but she managed to push him back
several steps.
Marcus, drunk as a skunk, lost his balance and fell towards the floor Luckily, there was a couch behind
him to catch his falling body
Cornelia rushed over to see him asleep with his eyes closed
Annoyed, she kicked him in the leg “You jerk, if you miss your wife go home and hug her. What makes
you different from a jerk? I’m just your assistant, paid by you, not someone you can just grab and
hug?”.
After venting her anger, Cornelia felt much better. She returned to her room, did a quick wash up, then
tried to sleep.
It was late, and after all that booze, normally shed fall asleep as soon as she hit the bed. But tonight,
Cornelia just couldn’t sleep
The weather was cold, and even with the heating on, Marcus could catch a cold sleeping on the couch
all night
if Marcus fell sick, their itinerary would be ruined And as his assistant, she’d be the one to blame.
After a lot of thought, Cornelia decided to cover him with a blanket
She got up from her bed, went to the living room, and saw Marcus sleeping on the couch, his glasses
slipping down to his nose, looking like a bum
She wanted to wake him up and tell him to go sleep in his room, but she was afraid he might do
something inappropriate again. So, she went to his room, got a blanket, and covered him

bully people just because you’re rich? I wam you, if you dare touch me again, fl make you pay
After venting, Cornelia went back to her room to sleep
She was worried that Marcus might barge into her room in the middle of the night. Though she was in
bed, she couldn’t sleep
She got out of bed again, locked her door, and moved a cabinet behind it, just in case
After all that, Cornelia crawled back into bed feeling a little safer
She took out her phone and scrolled to her chat with Jeremy Their last chat was at 2.30 that afternoon
when he told her he had safely arrived in Riverton They hadn’t chatted since
After some hesitation, she texted Jeremy. “Are you asleep”
It was past one in the morning Most people would be asleep. She didn’t expect Jeremy to see her
message.
But she still held out hope. She hoped Jeremy was still awake. She hoped he would see her message
right away. She hoped he would reply
