Rayan’s expression suddenly darkened as she marched towards Silas before punching him square in the jaw. “RAYAN!” Anthea shouted his name in horror. “How dare you lay your hands on my wife?” Rayan shouted, punching Silas once again. Anthea looked completely mortified as she rushed towards Rayan to stop him. “OH GOD, RAYAN! STOP!” She shouted, standing between Rayan and Silas and stopping him from hitting Silas again. Rayan looked too mad to stop! Anthea had no choice but to push him back while glaring at him angrily. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Anthea yelled furiously at Rayan while glancing at Silas, who was currently wiping the blood off his lips. Her heart sank at the sight of his swollen jaw. “Leave me!” Rayan gritted out, looking equally at him. Anthea didn't understand why Rayan was suddenly getting so agitated. His eyes basically darkened as he started at Silas. Anthea couldn't see Silas’s expression because she was currently facing her husband. “Don't hit him!” An
“Silas, I'm really, really sorry! Gosh, it must be hurting.” Anthea apologized again and again while applying ointment to Silas’s wound. They were currently in Emilia’s apartment. Anthea brought Silas here to treat his wound first. Her heart was getting heavy with guilt each time she saw Silas’s face.“It's okay, Anthea. It's not your fault, and it's nothing.” Silas chuckled lightly while wincing in pain every time Anthea put some medicine on his jaw. “No. He's my husband, and I should be apologizing on his behalf. I don't know what has gotten into him recently.” Anthea shook her head while speaking. She quickly finished applying the medicine to him. Silas sighed. Something closer to jealousy flashed in his eyes, which Anthea failed to notice. “Was he always like this? I mean, I don't really like the way he was shouting at you. He needs to control his anger.” Silas asked, pointing out Rayan’s previous rough behavior. Anthea heaved a sigh. “He's not always like this. In fact, Rayan
“Where is she?”Rayane gritted out again, his expression getting more dangerous. However, Silas wasn't afraid of him. A sly grin appeared on his face as he looked at Rayan provocatively before answering his question. “In my place,” he said with a devilish smirk playing on the corner of his lips. Rayan’s expression blackened with anger. “Do you want me to kill you?”He gritted out in a low, dangerous voice while taking a threatening step towards Silas. If there was anyone else in his place, they would have been really scared, but not Silas. “Calm down, Mr. Allen. Do you think Anthea will forgive you if you lay your hands on me again? ”Silas chuckled, his expression flashing with mockery as he looked at Rayan. Rayan’s expression turned blank as he remembered what happened in the afternoon. He still couldn't believe Anthea actually left him there and went with that bastard, as if defending him wasn't enough. He was her husband. She should have defended him. How the fuck she couldn't not
“Rayan! What are you doing here?” Emilia was questioned in surprise as soon as she opened the door. She didn't expect to see him at this hour. “I need to see her.” Rayan answered impatiently while trying to look past Emilia to see any sign of Anthea. He had been trying to contact her for the last three hours, but she completely shut him off and refused to talk to him. He even went to Silas house and realised she wasn't there. That bastard had lied to him. “No! She doesn't want to talk to you right now.” Emilia refused, stopping Rayan from entering her apartment. She didn't know what happened between them again but Anthea was terrilbly upset. She didn't even talk to Roman, Elijah, and Athena, who came to New York two hours ago. “Emilia, please. I really need to see her. Tell her I'm here.” Rayan sighed before looking at Emilia pleadingly. He was dying with guilt and self-loathing after what he said to her. He knew if he didn't apologise and fix it now, their relationship would be fo
Anthea stared at Rayan’s shivering form through the CCTV monitor. He was still waiting outside Emilia’s apartment while sitting on the floor for the past two hours. Her heart was clenching in pain, seeing him suffer badly in the cold. She was in a huge battle with herself about whether she should hold onto her anger or let it go before running to him. After talking to Athena, her head cleared, and she had already made up her mind. But still, she wanted him to suffer a little. However, it was already enough and she couldn't stand it anymore. He was looking really broken and pathetic while sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. Anthea closed her eyes a little before reopening them. She got off the couch before walking towards the main door. “Anthea!” Rayan’s eyes shot open in surprise when he heard the apartment door opposite Emilia’s open before revealing Anthea. He was surprised to see her there. “You are here!” Rayan commented in surprise while standing up from the g
“Because Silas told me you were in his house and you were going to stay with him when he came to pick Nevaeh up.” Rayan answered, feeling angry and helpless. He shouldn't have listened to that bastard in the first place. He should have known better. “What the hell!” Anthea stared at him in shock. “You don't believe me?” Rayan’s face hardened as he noticed the disbelief in her eyes. She was unwilling to believe him, which meant she trusted that bastard over him. Anthea shook her head immediately. “No! It's not like that. Why would he say something like that?” She denied it before inquiring. Rayan’s expression changed again as he took a step back from her; however, his eyes never left her. “Because he wants to provoke me and create misunderstandings between us.” He answered while grinding his teeth. Anthea frowned as disbelief crossed her eyes. “What are you saying, Rayan? Silas would never do something like that.” She shook her head, trying to deny everything Rayan just said. Ther
“Drop me at this address.” Anthea said this while showing Rayan an address on her phone. “Why? You are not going to the office?” Rayan, who was driving the car, asked before taking the phone from her hand and then glancing at the address. “No. I'm going to meet Silas.” Anthea answered with a sigh. She noticed Rayan’s face hardening as soon as the words left her mouth. For a moment, he didn't say anything. “Okay. I'm going to the hospital to check on Dad. Call me if anything happens.” He nodded after a moment of silence while focusing on the road. “Okay. How is your dad?” Anthea nodded back before inquiring about Benjamin. She didn't receive any news on him from the moment she left the hospital with Silas. “He's improving.” Rayan muttered while taking a turn. The address Anthea showed him wasn't far. “I'm glad to hear that.” She sighed in relief, knowing Benjamin was getting well. She just hoped nothing bad would happen and he would eventually recover. Last night, they talked, an
“You know where. How could you forget what you went through because of him? If it wasn't for family and me, Silas didn't finish his sentence and stopped midway when he noticed Anthea's eyes glaring sharply at him.“So you really think that just because you helped me in my darkest phase, you have some sort of right over me?” Anthea asked, her eyes flashing with coldness at the sudden realisation. “Anthea!” Silas uttered, looking at her with a blank expression. Anthea couldn't read what was running inside her head but at the moment, she barely cared. “Answer me, Silas. Is that what you think?” Anthea pressed further, her expression remaining the same. At that moment, she was sure about one thing: Rayan didn't lie or misunderstand anything. It was she who was blind and delusional. She couldn't see the truth, which was already before her eyes. “Did Rayan tell you this?” Silas suddenly asked back, his expression hardening. He didn't expect that son of a bitch, Rayan, to vomit every sin
