Marrying Mr. Stranger CHAPTER 17 : BUSINESS
~ANAYA~ "Mind your own business!" Luna snapped, but hesitation flickered in her eyes. She probably didn't expect anyone to challenge her. "I do mind. Anaya's my friend, and I won't let you insult her without reason," Tasya said seriously. I couldn't believe it. Tasya, usually quiet and shy, had become brave for me. But it didn't end there. "Well…" Luna started, but I interrupted. I couldn't hold back any longer. "Luna, what's your problem? I haven't done anything to you. Why are you being mean?" I asked, trying to stay calm. "Well…" she repeated, but she seemed hesitant now, probably intimidated by Tasya and me. "If you don't have anything nice to say, just be quiet. We're hungry and don't want to be late for work," I said, pulling Tasya away. We left Luna standing there, looking shocked. Walking to our table, I couldn't help but smile. I was proud of Tasya. She wasn't just a sweet friend; she was brave. Most importantly, I realized I wasn't alone. People were willing to defe
Marrying Mr. Stranger CHAPTER 16 : AWAKE
~ANAYA~ I slowly opened my eyes, feeling only a throbbing headache. It felt like someone had bowled inside my skull. I winced at the stinging pain on my cheek; it was swollen. I touched my face, my eyes widening at the tenderness. It was badly swollen. I gasped, realizing how badly Dave had beaten me. My stomach ached as if it had been punched ten times. The memory of Dave's punches, kicks, and slaps replayed in my mind. My vision blurred; I wanted to scream but had no strength. "Anaya…" A voice broke through my thoughts. "You're awake, wife," Kael said. My husband. I heard a familiar voice—Kael, my husband. I looked at him; he was sitting beside me, his face full of worry. He was holding my hand, his touch gentle as he wiped away my tears. I hadn't realized I was crying. "Kael… what… what happened?" I whispered weakly. I felt parched, like I hadn't drunk water in a month. "You collapsed, wife, but don't worry. I'll make them pay," he whispered back, tightening his grip on my
Marrying Mr. Stranger CHAPTER 15 : THE MYSTERIOUS SAVIOR
I couldn't understand him anymore, the noise of the crowd, their pleas for Dave to stop. I felt dizzy from the slaps, the world spinning. The pain… the pain of his slaps, the pain of his words… "You don't know who I replaced you with, Dave, so don't be arrogant!" I cried out again after another hard slap from Dave. Mall security approached, but Dave's friends fired their guns. I never thought they had guns. Anyone who tried to approach was shot. I lost hope. The pain of my weakness. I couldn't escape Dave's grasp. I was weakening. "Stop it, Dave," I whispered weakly, but he laughed and punched my stomach. "Stop it, Dave, please!" Tasya cried, but Dave ignored her, enjoying my suffering in front of everyone. Dave grabbed my hair. I closed my eyes in pain, trying to escape, but Dave was strong. I couldn't call Kael; my bag was thrown away. I tried not to cry, to be brave, but my tears wouldn't stop. I was hurting; I couldn't take it anymore; I was weak. Kael… That's all I
Marrying Mr. Stranger CHAPTER 14
His touch on my hand was light, yet a jolt of electricity ran through me. "Stay away, Kael," I said, but he only smiled. Our eyes met, and for a moment, the world disappeared. I lost my balance, falling onto the bed. He quickly caught me, his arms around my waist. My heart pounded. Our eyes held unspoken emotions, a silent promise of something more. My heart raced as we remained in that position. The moment stretched, charged with anticipation. Kael's dark, intense eyes held mine captive. He leaned closer, his breath warm against my skin. My heart pounded frantically. His lips brushed against mine, a feather-light touch that sent shivers down my spine. Then, his lips fully pressed against mine—a soft, tender kiss that stole my breath away. The world faded, leaving only the feel of his lips, the warmth of his body against mine. It was a kiss that spoke volumes, a silent promise between two souls. When he pulled away, I was breathless, a dizzying mix of emotions swirling
Marrying Mr. Stranger CHAPTER 13
I'm happy because Kael agreed to let Lola stay at his mansion, and Manang Rere will be there too. I told him Manang Rere could work at the mansion, and I'd pay her salary. It wouldn't be difficult; she wouldn't have much to do—just care for Lola, keeping her company and assisting her. It's my fifth day off work; I have two more days before returning. "Anaya, my granddaughter " Lola called out, making me turn to her. We were in her room at the mansion, with Manang Rere attending to her. "Yes, grandma ? " I smiled, approaching her. She was sitting on the bed while Manang Rere folded clothes. "Is it him?" she said, her voice trailing off. I furrowed my brows, understanding immediately. "Is he the one you chose over Dave, my dear?" she asked, referring to Kael. Kael wasn't at the mansion; he'd returned to work, while I was still suspended. "Lola—I don't regret choosing him," I said seriously. Lola listened attentively, waiting for my explanation. "I'm sorry, Lola, that I left you wi
Marrying Mr. Stranger CHAPTER 12
My family was shocked to see Kael. His face was impassive, his gaze intense. I was also surprised—he arrived incredibly fast! I’d only called him moments ago. After recovering from the shock, my father's first question was, "Who is that man?" My father asked, his brow furrowed as he looked at Kael, who was staring intently at them. "(Voice trembling slightly) "Anaya... is that... the man you... you married instead of Dave?" My father said, chuckling as he looked at Kael. "You have good taste, Anaya," Avera said, her gaze lingering on Kael. "You chose this man to be your groom, even though he looked like a lump of coal on your wedding day." I pulled Kael behind me; I knew my sister's ways, and my suspicions were correct. "That's none of your concern anymore, Dad." I sighed, looking back at my father. "Just like I said earlier, I'm taking Lola, whether you like it or not." I said seriously. Kael remained silent behind me, watching, ready to intervene if my stepmother tried anythi
