When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 2

It was getting close to midnight, yet, Giselle couldn't fall asleep.

She buried her head into the pillow as her mind ran wild. Suddenly, an arm appeared next to her waist and started touching her all over. Feeling the hot breath on her neck, Giselle instinctively ducked, trying to escape Anthony's kisses.

Giselle's resistance surprised Anthony.

After all, for the past three years, Giselle had always been the one to initiate intimate moments between them. This was the first time he had made the first move, yet, he only faced her rejection.

Curious, he couldn't help but ask, "Not in the mood?"

"I'm on my period," Giselle answered, making up a random excuse.

Anthony didn't think much about it. He just replied with a hum and covered her with the blankets properly.

Before falling asleep, Anthony reviewed the day and suddenly remembered the house deed she had him sign. He began asking about it.

"Where's the house deed? I want to see if there are any flaws or loopholes in it."

Giselle's heart started thumping. She stared at him and asked, "Are you sure you want to look at it?"

Anthony looked at her anxious expression and frowned before nodding lightly.

A brief pause later, Giselle finally got up from bed and headed to the study to get the agreement. But just as she was about to pass him the documents, someone's phone started to ring loudly.

Anthony answered the phone.

"Tony! James is drunk and getting himself into trouble again! Please hurry over, I'm scared!"

Recalling that Melanie's ex-husband loved getting into fights, Anthony's expression changed. He hurriedly grabbed a coat, put it on, and headed out.

Giselle called out to him when she saw that he was leaving in a rush.

"Has something happened to that friend of yours who's getting a divorce?"

Anthony was about to answer simply, but he suddenly got worried that Giselle would start suspecting him. So, he decided to make it sound as serious as possible.

"Yes. Her ex-husband got drunk and is now at her door with a knife. I need to go over and have a look. Her life might be in danger."

Giselle didn't hold him back anymore after that. She just told him to be careful.
