All Chapters of Her Revenge Wore A Wedding Ring: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Aneesa’s povThe smell of the examination room was rough. It was like someone mixed rubbing alcohol and lemon cleaner. It made my lungs feel funny. Dr. Aris looked at me then she looked at Darius. He was standing against the wall looking like he was trying to protect me."Mr. Steele," Dr. Aris said, her voice was professional, but careful. "I need to talk to Anessa for a minute. You know doctor-patient secret stuff."Darius did not move away. I felt like he was looking at me trying to see if I was okay. I gave him a nod. I wanted to know what was going on with my body. I did not want Darius to be there when I found out."I will be right outside the door,” Darius said, his voice was low. He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him as I looked at Dr. Aris. My hands were holding the paper sheet on the exam table really tight. "What is it, Dr. Aris? Is something wrong with me?""Anessa, " Dr. Aris said, her voice was low and serious. "I did not get to tell you everything the la

Anessa’s povI did not want to talk to her. "Leave me alone," I said, walking out of the lunchroom.I needed to be alone."Anessa! Were you drugged when you were with Julian Dane?" she yelled after me. She followed me into the hallway.I started to run. "Stop! Just stop!"As I turned the corner towards the corridor, the double doors at the far end swung open really fast. It was not one reporter who came out of that door but a bunch of them. Six or seven came running towards me, cameras up high, flashes already going off against the walls."Mrs Steele! Over here!""Did Darius pay you to keep quiet?""What do you think about the Dane family if they threaten to sue you?"I yelled, "Stop it!” and backed away until my shoulders hit the wall. "I just want to be alone. Please, I just want some peace."They surrounded me with a bunch of cameras. Shouting all around. The air felt really thin. The light was too much. I felt really tired all of a sudden, my knees were shaking. What happened at t

Julian’s povI woke up this morning with a pounding headache. It wasn’t just any sound it was different.The worst part was that the light in the hotel didn’t even make it any better as the Gray morning lights kept on coming through the windows and having me wince as I looked around, trying to know where I was.My nose got the smell of cigarettes and booze, as I noticed that I was sitting on the floor. Had I slept on the floor? This felt weird.My back hurt, my nice shirt was all messed up. My mouth felt like I had been eating bad food. I got up slowly with the room starting to spin around me. I remembered some things from last night, like the way Anessa hit me with the crowd at the Steele place and the way she looked at me with so much hate in her eyes. Then everything went black. I did not remember anything else.I looked over at the bed. Nathan was lying there like a rag doll, one leg hanging off the side snoring really loud. We did not make it back to our place. We did not even go

Aneesa’s povThe wind on the mountain peak was really cold and it was blowing my hair over my face. Below us the city was like a map with lots of lights and shadows but I was only looking at Darius, the man standing right next to me. I had just asked him a question. Now the whole atmosphere had changed.I was watching Darius's face. I saw how his smile from a minute ago disappeared. We were talking about nothing, like our favorite colors and lemonade stands from when we were kids and now his face was all serious. His eyes had something in them that looked really painful like a big shadow was hanging over him.He did not say anything right away. He looked away out at the horizon and his jaw got tight. I could see a muscle moving in his cheek."I do not want to talk about that part of my life, Anessa, " he sighed. His voice was not warm and nice like it was before. It was cold and distant like he was warning me to stay away.I did not. Maybe it was because of what happened that day or m

Julian’s povThe air in the Gucci store was really thick with the smell of expensive things but all I could smell was Tina Lourne's fear.Tina Lourne pulled her shoulders back trying to act like she was still in control even though her hands were shaking as she held her gold purse. "Not here Julian,” she said quietly, her voice low and scared as her eyes darted around looking for security. "People are watching us.""Then let's go somewhere private to talk,” I said, my voice calm and cold.Tina pointed to an area in the back of the store with velvet seats, partly hidden by a bunch of big luggage. We walked there in silence. She sat on the edge of the seat, her back straight while I took my time sitting down across from her. I leaned back crossing one leg over the other. I could see her jump every time I moved."What do you want, Julian?" Tina asked, her voice a little stronger now. "How did you find me here?”I didn’t say anything but stared at her with an interesting look.“Look, if i
