Chapter 4 ~ Nightmare ~

Anna's Pov

He's searching for something inside my eyes.

But it's too bad for him; he couldn't because I was not 19 years old Anna anymore; I bury that Anna in the grave a long time ago.

She would never show up again. I would never let that happen. I will not forgive him.

I look straight into his eyes to let him know she is not here anymore. Who was stupid and an idiot

"Stop looking already. you can't find that foolish girl; she will never come back." I smirked at him.

He took a step toward me, and I stood still in my spot without moving even an inch. When he was in front of me, a beatific smile was on his face, which was why I hated him even more at that moment.

“Don't worry. She will come back, and you also can't stop her either," he said in a calm tone.; 

I gritted my teeth; this man was still shamelessly overconfident, which I hated the most.

Even after five years, he was still arrogant and full of himself.

"I don't think I need your advice. Just tell me what I'm doing here." 

Crossing my hands over my chest, I looked at him, and he knew he better tell me the truth; otherwise, I would surely throw him through the window where I was standing after waking up.

"I took back what was mine. I gave you enough freedom, and you have already completed your study, so of course, come back where you truly belong," he said like I was the one who chose this in the past.

"Blaze, are you kidding with me right now?" I asked him while giving him a mocking smile.

"Oh my God, how much I missed this!" He held his chest with both hands and put a beatific expression on his face. 

"Anna, just let the past stay in the past. We will create more beautiful memories together in the present," Blaze said as he tried to hold my hand, but I backed off and distanced myself from him.

"Beautiful memories? Those memories are now nightmares to me, and I don't need any memories with you. Also, five years ago, what you gave me was enough for me." For five years, I tried my best to remove these memories from my life. 

Once again, he returned to my life to sprinkle salt on my old wound, to make it as painful as it was in the past. No way. I couldn't bear that pain again because of him.

Both of us fell silent. Then, after a few seconds, he looked at me and said, “Come and eat with me." He knew I wouldn't fall for his tricks.

"Just let me go. Do you have any idea what you did?" I demanded, feeling incredibly nervous inside my heart.

"Anna," he sucked in a long breath as he tried to control his anger.

"What a disaster you created! Today I was getting married, but of course, like always, you ruined everything." I tried not to look at him; I could feel his murderous look.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps, and I looked towards him, just as I thought he was near me. 

His facial expression gave me a red zone danger alert.

I backed off immediately, but he did not stop; he approached me until I could go nowhere; in front of me was he, and behind the wall, I felt like a cheese sandwich between them.

"Now tell me what you're saying. Wedding? Anna, did you think I was dead? " He lifted my chin a little bit, and now I was looking straight at his eyes. 

This was the first time I saw his face after five years; truth be told, he became more handsome than I remember.

Now his face was rough, sexy, handsome, unlike the past. Now he has a sexy, thick beard. He was a young boy five years ago, but now he has become a sexy man.

Suddenly I wanted to beat myself, so I scolded myself; what the hell are you thinking? 

"Anna looks at me." he gave an order, not the request. I did what he said. I glanced up at him. His eyes turned dark.

"Now listen to me carefully; you're mine. Five years ago, when you confessed your love for me, your fate was already set with mine for your entire life; you should know this already." He dug his fingers deep into my skin.

It was hurting, but I refused to show him my tears.

"That was my mistake, and everyone could make this mistake at their young age, so did I; it's not a big deal," I said like it didn’t matter to me or never did, but both of us knew I was telling a white lie.

"Don't you dare say that was a mistake? It was never a mistake, Anna, and it never will be,"

he threatened, and I gulped my saliva. "You know Anna; I'll tolerate your stubbornness and everything about you but never ignore our relationship,"

he said, his voice creating fear inside my heart, brushing his finger on my lips, and he was waiting for my answer.

Looking at his eyes, I knew I couldn’t anger him; otherwise, he would go mad, and I must pay the price. So, I did not deny what he said; I just nodded my head. 

"Now that's my Anna, come and eat with me," he mumbled and smirked.

"Don't you understand? I said that I'm not hungry," saying that I pushed him as hard as I had the strength in my body.

He backed away from me, not because he moved away, not because of my sudden push, but because he knew I was very frustrated right now. So I did not look back and came out while running as fast as I could.

"Anna, come back here," Blaze called out from behind, but I couldn’t stop. I remembered nothing about how to go back.

So, I just ran without knowing where I was going right now. Finally, after running some time, I reached an empty alley.

I looked around, seeing nobody was around; I burst into tears.
