chapter 4

Next day

“wake up bitch “Emily shouted at anna, throwing a bucket of cold water on her. It 5-degree temperature outside. But who cares.

Anna woke up immediately but salted when Emily jumped on her grabbing her hair. “ you slut, you must have seduced my man, I wanted to marry him, and  you snatched him away from me, you slut .”

She didn’t give anna time to speak and slapped her. Anna was so used to this treatment that not a single tear left her eyes.  She rolled her eyes at her and pushed her off her bed. “What the f*CK Emily, I did not do anything which men are you talking about. I never snatched you, man” Anna shouted.

“you did, I was supposed to marry Rean not you, why did they choose you over me a mistress daughter,”  Emily shouted but in return, she got a slap from Anna.

“You can say anything to me don’t bring my mom into this “Anna spoke calmly. But Emily started crying and shouting “

“Mom!!!, Dad! Anna slapped me,” she shouted, faking a cry. Both people enter the room, Anna stepmother pushed anna and helped Emily up . “you pathetic excuse of a girl what did you do to my daughter. “Stepmom shouted at her.

“but she spoke bad about my mom –”

“ANNA WEAVER !!!” her father shouted. 

'He grabbed her by her hair and threw her off her place, she screamed in pain. Her elbow hurt a lot, where she landed her scalp burnt. She was too busy crying in pain, to notice the slap landed on her cheek.

“you have no right to slap your, sister, for some bullshit reason.” I am leaving you for now cause today is big day Mr Windsor accepted the marriage. Or I would have to break your hands for slapping her. Just get ready and come to office “He spoke, walking out with his family.

 She not that sad but angry. She didn't know where the energy came from, maybe because of angry; Anna stood there emotionless she knew that something like this would happen.

She went into her bathroom and slammed the door shut. She stood under the shower with her cloth on. After a couple of minutes, she couldn't hold it any longer, and a sob escaped, and a tear followed. In a second, she was a wreck. She cried for the pain and injuries she got she cried for my father. Her tears mixed with water. She stood in the shower for 20 minutes before walking out she felt dizzy, her head ach but she has to go to office today.

She dressed professionally, wore a black sun-glass to cover her red and puffy eyes and walked out for office.

Passing by the staffs, greeting them with the fake smile, she finally gets into her office. Closing the door, she took a deep breath. She took her shades off, relaxing her eyes, but it seems to be the big mistake as she heard a voice.

 “Good morning Miss weaver. “ 

She looked at the familiar person who greeted her, smiling. With a shocked face, she looked at him. But his smile wiped away in an instant and became cold and serious. She looked at him, confused.

“Mr Windsor what ar—” before she could finish, he wrapped his arm around her. Pulling her close to his chest. Caressing her hair, he spoke in her ears.

 “What happened ???”

Realizing what was this all about she immediately wanted to wear her glass back, but it was long gone from her hand, Rean throw it on the couch in her office

“What happens, sweetheart?? “ He hugs her His voice was calm smoothing she close her eyes wanting nothing but to be like this forever. He shifted back and made her sit on the couch.

“It's ok if you don’t want to talk but remember I am here for you, ok? I got your back, my future wife, I don’t like your tired and red eyes,  your eye should be cheerfully and sparkling.”

Listening to every word spoken from his mouth, she let go of her emotion and cried in his chest. She did not know how long she was crying, wetting his suit.

As the time pass, she found herself calming down at the soothing sound of the man's voice. She wished he could talk all day.  Anna smiled to think about how thankful to have someone who didn’t force her to speak, thankful to have someone who distracts her from her life trauma.  She didn’t know when this happens, but she found her self clinging to him with her face buried in his neck.

She was about to speak, but her stomach growl. Making her look down in embarrassment.

 “oh well I totally forget why I was here, so miss Anna I wanted to have breakfast with you, and I got the approval of your tummy so let's go “  He spoke Making her redder than before.  He picked her up in his arm.

“Rean!! What are you doing?” She panicked being in  his arm.”

“what can’t I show my love to my wife” He spoke, bringing her out toward the main door. She hides her face in his neck as people stare at them. And he laughed at her cuteness.

There was a comfortable silence between them when they sat to eat in a nearby cafe. Emma spoke, breaking the silence. “Thank you “ she spoke, look down focusing on eating.

“what for??” He asked innocently.

“hmm for comforting me just now and not forcing me to explain it to you .” She spoke, looking down again playing with her food.

She was nervous

Rean stop eating, he stretch his hand and lift her face forcing her to look straight in his eye “you don’t have to thank me, it my job as you husband to be “

She turned red again.  

“I am sorry too for wetting your shirt “she spoke this time looking in his eyes.

“well, that’s fine. “

He continues to eat his food.

She has a question which bothering her, she wanted to say but don’t know how to.”

She stares at him, but when he looked up at her, she avoided eye contact.

“Ask away whatever is bothering you “ He spoke.

She took a deep breath in all serious mood she spoke.

“Why me ??”
