Anna’s fist clenched as she resisted the urge to turn around and pull the hair of Billy and give her a piece of her fist. How dare she say those words to her without remorse. That Caspian no longer wanted her? Only the thought alone was enough to have her moving to her bed and kicking on the frame severally until her legs hurt. She groaned. Just a few words with Billy and it already ruined her mood. The girl really was a joyous killer. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she made her way out of the room, stopping in her tracks when she found Billy in front of Caspian’s room, perhaps about to go in. Before she could, Anna stormed toward her and grabbed her by the sting of her flimsy peach dress. She turned.“You don’t take lessons, do you?” She kept her voice down so their conversation didn’t leak to the other side. “Billy, this is rude.”“Get your hands off.” She shrugged her hands off her. “You don’t have to act like my mother or try to scold me.”“Since she’s not doing a good job, I sho
“On the couch? In my room. Did you forget that this is my room? And as for being a gentleman.” He looked her over from her head down. “We both know I’m not.”“I’m not sharing a bed with you.”“Whether or not you want to sleep on the bed, it’s up to you. It’s either you share or you have the couch to yourself. Choose,” Caspian offered. Anna's breath increased as she glared at her husband. It was the first conversation that they were having after the previous night. The previous night was a mistake for her, at least this time. She still remembered how easily she got wet and how easily she agreed to Caspianms attempt for sex. Gosh, she still remembered the memories vividly, and each time she thought about it, it only angered her further. “You’re so annoying, ugh.” She let go of his arm. “I wasn’t so annoying when you were screaming on my cock last night, was I? I wonder what changed.”She slapped his chest, pushing him backward before making her way into the bed. She laid on the othe
In no time, they both fell asleep but not without Anna passing Caspian his pillows and putting one in between them. In the dead of the night, the sound of Caspian’s groans caused Anna to force her eyes open. She hurriedly sat on the bed and stared at the man next to her, her eyes widening in panic at the sweat that broke out in his bare chest and the groans that he let out, plus the trembling of his entire body. She quickly threw the pillow between them aside and moved over to his side. She held his shoulders and shook him severally. “Caspian? Caspian.” She became sure that he was having a nightmare as Caspian didn’t respond to her call, instead, his groans grew louder and his breath faster. She grabbed his shoulder and shook him faster. “Caspian, it’s just a nightmare, wake up.” Sweat broke out on her forehead in panic and her attempt to wake him up intensified. Finally, his hands shot forward and wrapped around her arms, pulling her to his chest, and before she knew it, he
Anna rushed toward her father the moment she stepped into the hospital room. She sat on the chair at his side of the bed and held his hand in her palm. “Are you alright, Father?” The man slowly opened his eyes to look at her, his eyes weakly staring at her. Anna’s heart broke as she stared at the man, lying weakly in a hospital bed with different medical machines connected to him. She’d been having lunch with her mother-in-law at the penthouse when she got a call that her father was in the hospital. According to the doctor, he had a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the hospital immediately. Anna had thought that she stopped caring for any member of her family but after the doctor announced the situation to her, she realized that if there was anyone she cared about in the family, even though it was a little, it was her father. Although he’d watched her become a victim of his wife’s abuse for years without saying anything, she understood him a little. He was also a victim
“You’re back,” Mrs. Riordan announced as Anna stepped away from the front door. “I was just about to prepare dinner, you know.” Anna nodded, stepping closer to the woman who began making her way to the kitchen. “I’ll join you, Mother.” “That would be very sweet if you. Here.” She handed Anna a stack of washed vegetables and a knife while she took out some potatoes to peel. Three minutes in, the woman staggered backward, holding her head in her hands. Anna immediately rushed toward her. “Mother, are you okay?” She helped the woman sit on a chair and offered her a glass of water. “Are you okay? Do you need the doctor?” “I…I don’t. I’m just a little bit tired. I’ll be fine.” “You should go have a rest. Come on, you should go to your room.” “Who then is going to help you in the kitchen?” Anna stared at the vegetables and potatoes on the island table. They’re a lot of work to do but she was a pro at it. It wasn’t the first time that she was cooking something like this. “I’ll take
Halfway through their meal, Anna felt a sharp pain travel to her abdomen, her tummy stretching in pain. She immediately sprang up from the chair. “Are you okay, dear?” Mrs. Riordan inquired, her voice laced with concern. “I’ll be right back.”She took to her heels, heading toward the room that she now shared with Caspian. Once she pushed the door closed behind her, she ran into the bathroom, her breath rough and ragged. It can’t be, right? She wasn’t going to have her period until next week. But as she checked, her face fell in disappointment at the bright red that stained her panties. She sighed in frustration at the pain that followed each time she took a breath. She wasn’t ready for the pain that came with her period, for the tears and lightheadedness that came with it. She wasn’t prepared for it at all. Unlike other girls out there, her period always seemed to almost take her life each time. The pain was incredible each time she sometimes wished that she was born as a male in
Their trip to Caspian’s room was short. In no time, they got to the room and he gently placed her on the bed. Anna immediately scrambled under the covers. She watched as he strode without a word into the bathroom and came out with a massage oil in his hand. He returned to her side, pulled away the covers from her body, and began unbuttoning her pajama top from the bottom.“What are you doing?” Anna tried to peel his hands away from her but he passed her a stern look that caused her to immediately retract her hand backward and stay still. “You don’t have to do this.”“You’re in pain.”“I’m used to it.” From what he was about doing, she was sure he already found out about her period and there was no use trying to hide it from him. How did he even know? She thought that she was doing a good job masking her expression. “And that’s why you were almost crying? Stay still.” He glared at her the moment she jerked forward when the cold oil touched her bare skin, her lower belly. “It’s cold,
Anna flung the door open, eyes narrowing at the person who fell forward into the room. She scanned her mother-in-law from her head downward in surprise. Was she eavesdropping on their conversation?“Mother?”“Umm, I was about to knock on the door. You’re awake?” The woman stepped backward. “We just got up. Is there something that you need?” Anna wondered what exactly was the woman’s aim of always eavesdropping on them in the mornings. She must really want a grandchild so much that she needed to be sure that her main aim of visiting was a success. Mrs Riordan glared at her son in disappointment before grabbing Anna’s wrist and leading her out of the room. She only let go of her once they got to the living room. “I wanted us to go shopping. There is a birthday party that I want to attend next week.” She announced. “Are you free to go with me? I have pretty bad tastes, you know.”“That is no problem. Of course.”“Great then. Come on then, have breakfast and freshen up.” She led her da
