Chapter 12: What!?Anna POV………Her fingers wrapped around mine in a firm handshake, her lips curling into that same unsettling smile.And just like that, a cold shiver ran down my spine. What exactly is she? I didn’t even realize when I yanked my hand back. Her eyes gave me chills, and I felt a strange sensation course through me the moment she touched me.“Okay, let me continue showing you around,” Damien’s mom interrupted, her hands resting gently on my shoulders. I looked at her and forced a smile. At least this gave me a temporary escape from this woman.“Okay…” My words were abruptly cut off when the so-called Emma jumped in. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Evelyn, I’ll show her around. You need some rest,” she said with a bright, almost too-innocent smile.I wanted to protest—I wasn’t okay with this. Why would someone who clearly despised me want to show me around? I opened my mouth to object, but the words refused to come out. If I protested, I’d definitely come off as weird.“Are you ok

Chapter 14: UNBELIEVABLE I walked down the stairs, having just wrestled my emotions into control. As I descended, I silently wished Emma would fall into my trap—just so I could finally release my anger on her. I was ready to show her that two could play this game.As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I spotted Damien leaning casually against the wall, drink in hand. I gave him a brief, cold stare before quickly looking away. I didn’t speak to him—I wasn’t ready. I was furious with him for taking Emma’s side. Sure, he knew her before he knew me, but that didn’t change the fact that I was going to be his wife. He should treat me better.I moved to walk past him, but his voice stopped me in my tracks.“Cold attitude?” he said dryly.I turned to face him, my eyes narrowing, brimming with the urge to lash out. “You don’t get to talk,” I snapped.“You can’t give your husband the cold shoulder.”“You’re not my husband yet,” I retorted sharply. “And I’m only marrying you because I have

Chapter 16: A FORCED AGREEMENT Anna POV… .“Drop the call” he repeated but I wasn’t having it too, why is he being such a pain in the ass? He is becoming more annoying and authoritative by the day. What exactly does he think he is? Does he think I will remain his slave simple because he saved my life.“I am not going to drop the call, I am speaking with my best friend, deal with it” I laced out in anger, I think this is the right time I stand up to him, I can’t continue giving him an upper hand.I watched as he turned to me in surprise, maybe he didn’t expect I would speak to him that way, he wanted me to remain submissive and does whatever he wants.“What is going on, Anna, are you in any kind of trouble” Eva voice resounded from the other end and I tried to put everything under control.“Don’t worry, Eva. Remain on the call, don’t end it” I replied with all confidence.“Don’t you dare test my patience, you would regret it” Damien voice was filled with rage now as he spoke bu

Chapter 18: Something he can’t do“Goodnight, Anna,” Mrs. Evelyn said, watching as I stepped into my room.“Goodnight,” I replied with a forced smile before gently closing the door behind me.The moment it shut, I leaned my back against it and let out a deep sigh. Exhaustion weighed heavy on me—after such a long journey, rest was all I craved.Dragging my tired legs across the room, I collapsed onto the bed and gasped in relief as my body sank into the mattress. Gosh! The bed was unbelievably soft—like it had the power to lull anyone to sleep the second they touched it.I yawned, the comfort already working its magic. I was more than ready to drift off, but I knew I needed a shower first. I couldn’t fall asleep peacefully feeling this grimy.Summoning the last bit of strength I had, I got up and made my way to the bathroom.My mouth fell open the instant I stepped in.What in the world of beauty and suspicious luxury is this?“Gosh!” The word slipped from my lips before I could stop i

Chapter 20: Why Cool?Anna POV…The next day came sooner than expected. I had just closed my eyes—and it was already morning? Just like that?I sat up tiredly. If you asked me, I really didn’t want to wake up this early. But I was already used to it. When I was working, I had to wake up early to prepare for the day, and now it’s just become a habit.I let out a loud yawn, covering my mouth with my hand. “Gosh! A new day,” I muttered. I looked at the wall clock—it was just 7:00 a.m. Shouldn’t I be waking up at 10:00? I groaned.I lay back down on the bed, hoping to get more sleep, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t. Eventually, I gave up.Since I couldn’t sleep, I figured I’d just scroll on my phon— Then the thought froze in my throat. I remembered what Damien did to my phone. That fucking asshole smashed it to pieces, leaving me phoneless. He better get ready to buy me a new one. I’ll make sure of that.“And… ouch.” I clapped a hand over my mouth. What if he heard my tho
