Anna’s POV
After Blaze left, I came back to the room he called my room. I locked myself inside this room. I wanted to be alone at that moment. Currently I was sitting on the carpet, pulling my knees up to my chest, thinking about what he said. I finally lost my cool, but suddenly I turned calm, too calm and unusual like me.
I didn’t know if I should pity my fate or laugh at my fucked-up luck — long-lost love came back but turned my life into a nightmare. I wanted to marry a man to save my father, which was a complete plan.
I planned how to kill myself on the wedding night before my marriage but got kidnapped by my ex-lover and tried to run away, but he caged me in an ocean. Nowhere to run now. And finally, he blackmailed me into marrying him.
I didn’t know how an average person would react in this situation, but my mind completely lost sense.
I was a loud and nosy person, but suddenly I felt my brain frozen like December’s snow.
Blaze's POV Just as I moved the blanket from her face, she pushed the blanket away from her body. "Huh, seriously? She never listens to me — not even in her sleep," I murmured and covered her with the blanket once again. I knew she would do it again. So I lifted the blanket and got inside, trying not to wake her up. Because I knew if she woke up, sleeping with her would become an impossible thing. As I got inside the blanket, I hugged Anna carefully. I snaked my left hand around her waist. I smelled her sweet fragrance — the old feeling once again coming back. My eyes filled with tears. I wished to hug her tightly but feared she might wake up. Just then, she shifted closer to me, her face close to mine now. My heart started beating so loudly that other than my heartbeat, I couldn't hear anything else. Her mouth fell slightly open because of the hot feeling earlier when she was sweating. However, it still left some sweat on her
Blaze's POV The sudden changes in Anna not only made me happy but also frightened me because I knew she was showing her emotions. But as soon as she remembered these painful five years, she would hate me for doing this to her. My Anna was always a sturdy girl. If everything goes according to her desire, she will stay calm, but sometimes the opposite can also happen. But seeing her catch me tightly as if I was going to vanish if she loosened her hold on me — it ached me. It reminded me of how badly I hurt her that she felt so insecure. My body was feeling every part of her as if she melted just for me. The wild desire kicked me once again, but I didn't want to force her. So, I changed the position, and now she was on top of me. I covered us with the blanket tightly. She was silently crying as her tears soaked my t-shirt. I wanted to call also at that moment, but I didn't want her to bore my pain again. She already had enough on her plate.
Anna's POV I was so pissed off right now. One after another, shocks were coming to me. I didn’t know what I should do or what reaction should come out from me. A man whom I loved and waited for five years suddenly said that he always loved me and silently protected me. He was now saying my mother was also involved. My mother, who still consoled me when I was at the last line of sense, supported him — this was too much to digest. Should I be happy, or should I be angry with both of them? I didn't know what I should do. Blaze looked at me like he was trying to read my mind and see what I was thinking, but it was something I never expected from him. "So, what do you want from me?” I asked with a little anger and irritation. I felt frustrated right now. My heart suddenly leapt every step and pulled me towards him. But my hidden pain was telling me, Anna, get a grip on yourself. You shouldn't jump on this fire, otherwise, you will bur
Anna's POV "Why and how dare of me? Blaze, do you even realize what you are talking about? e I was crazy for you, I was in love with you, yet you left me. That's why do you need any more reason?" I asked him. How dare he point his finger at me? I killed him. Yeah, I did because he killed my first soul. Suddenly his grip loosened from my neck, and he stepped back. He turned back and went inside the bathroom. He left me alone. I felt a burning sensation on my neck. That bastard almost broke my neck, but something else broke inside me — my firm willpower. Now when he screamed at me, I saw the pain in his eyes. He was dying from pain. He was in pain like me. I knew the pain in his eyes, but I thought Blaze didn't love me. So why did he suffer hearing I almost died? I went to bed and laid down, covering myself with a blanket. I heard a loud noise coming from the bathroom. I wanted to check, but then I listened to the clicking sound of
Blaze’s POV "Hey, my time bomb, stop right here. I know it all, but tell me first why I didn't hear the news that you kidnapped someone? Also, that person being Dylan's bride?" Mac once again took that bastard’s name. My blood was boiling like in anger, yet he spoke without thinking about what I would do to him. "Who said my Anna was his bride? Just tell me, which bastard said this?” My voice was going higher, but my anger level had already touched the sky. "What did you say? Your Anna?” Mac almost screamed like a crazy person. "Do you have a hearing problem? Yeah, Anna, my Anna," I said with pride. I felt proud of myself that Anna Swan was the love of my life. But Mac suddenly turned silent. "Are you dead or on the way to hell already?” I asked him to get a response. "Blaze, are you saying that Anna Swan is the Anna Swan I know, right?” He almost made me deaf with his loud voice. "Bastard, don't let me catch yo
Blaze's POV "Are you sure?" I asked her once again when I didn’t hear any response. "Yeah, she can. Because she loves every inch of you, so don't keep hiding. She is someone who can read your eyes, and we know better than anyone," she said, and I could feel her smiling suddenly. "What do you mean?” It confused me. I never told her something like this. "She always knew about you being in her bedroom every night as a night owl. Also, beating those boys till death who even looked at Anna." Boom. A bomb blew my mind and my guts — feeling without my overconfidence. Anna always knew I came to her every night when we were dating. How? I thought no one knew about this. Am I so bad at hiding something, or am I only like this in front of her? It might be, she knew, yet she mentioned nothing to me — what did she think about me? Instead, she saw me as a monster. I had a devil's blood in me, and I never liked myself for these
Anna’s POV Even if he looked handsome, I hated it immediately. Who the hell was he to behave like this? Blaze came forward and suddenly hugged me by the waist. I glared at that man — whoever he was, and then he spoke finally, "If you don't shut your mouth, then leave. I don't need you here," Blaze said in a contemptuous tone that he never used with me. I was glad that he at least had some sense. He was taking my side to scold this rude man. That man stood up and reached us slowly. It startled me seeing that man. He looked like a normal man when he was sitting, but when that man stood up and walked, I finally knew how this man has so many guts. He and Blaze had the exact size of the body, but his facial expressions were scarier than Blaze. It scared me. I gripped Blaze's hand. This man was looking as if he was going to strangle me. Blaze covered me by standing in front of me, and finally, I exhaled a sigh in relief. "What
Anna's POV I stayed silent because I knew without marrying him, I had no choice left. When I agreed to marry Dylan, I already knew my life would be longer than mine. So, what made it different? No matter whom I was going to marry, it was all the same. I accepted my fate after knowing my mother already knew about this. Blaze signed the document without even looking at what they wrote in these thick papers. How arrogant! But even though he was arrogant, my heart couldn't help but dance in joy. He handed these papers to me with a radiant smile that almost blinded my eyes. This man! Why was he smiling like a fool? It's not like I was marrying him because I still loved him. You always loved him — my heart jumped saying this. Stupid fellow betrayed its own master. Nothing loyal was left in this world for me. First, my mother — that woman was too cunning., How could I do not get her plan? She left too many hints when I spoke ill of Blaze. I inhaled m
