Chapter 21

Diana’s POV

At my demand, his face turned blank, his mouth slightly opened, his eyes wide and one of his brows arched. My palms sweated like crazy and my chest came close to the brink of explosion.

His wife.

I know it’s demanding too much. But it’s the only way. I used to work for the Waynes and I know my way around the office, but I don’t have anything on paper. This is the part that I thought about the most. The role I need in his life, the role I’m sure I can play is his wife.

And I’m doing it right this time.

He coughed.

“Are you serious? My wife. You want to be my wife?”

He laughed heartily and mockingly, looking amused, “Miss Diana, I have to say you have more balls than all the men in this building put together. I kinda like it, but making a lifetime commitment just for this…”

“A lifetime commitment?” I recoiled and swallowed hard. Yeah, that’s what marriage is supposed to be, right? I clenched my fists under the desk.
