Why Did Annie Spare Armin Novels & Stories

“Stop all contact with Seraphina, Armin. Do you hear me? You’ve been sleeping with her for years, keeping her as your mistress, and now look where it’s gotten you!” Armin’s jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with defiance. “Don’t bring Seraphina into this, Mom,” he growled, his tone warning her to back off. “You know I love her.” “Love?” Lilian snapped, throwing up her hands in exasperation. “Love my foot! That girl is the reason you’re in this mess in the first place!” Armin shot to his feet, pacing the room, his hands clenched into fists. “You don’t understand. Seraphina—she’s different. She stood by me when no one else did!”

"The result is the same! The Foundation is stable now! The people are getting paid!" Jinyan turned to Annie. "And you? You told me to meet you at the docks. Was that just to get me out of the way?" "It was to save your life, Jinyan," Annie said, her expression unreadable. "I knew you’d come here and try to be a hero. I wanted you to just keep running. But you never could, could you? You’re just as addicted to the drama as the rest of us." Jinyan looked at Panni. She was holding the pen, her hand hovering over the signature line.

Poppy mutters furiously. “I was going to leave town,” Annie whispers. “I packed a bag after work. I had a letter to post to Poppy explaining what I’d done, but… someone stopped me.” Ryder steps closer. “Who?” “A man. Tall, blondish, said his name was Rob. He came up to me in the car park outside the café. He said, he was my new handler.” Callen curses softly. “I told him he was insane,” Annie says. “But he… he grabbed my arm and said if I wanted to stay alive, I needed to pretend he was my boyfriend. That people were watching us.”

I peel my eyes away from him and only now notice that a small crowd has gathered around the ends of the aisles to look at what they think might be a prodigal gone wrong. “Okay, okay,” I say flustered. “I’ll help you,” I tell him. I watch as relief physically washes over Eric, his shoulders relax and he hangs his head as though exhausted. “Thank you,” he says. “Don’t make me regret it,” I warn him just incase he forgets that he isn’t the only one capable of grand acts, I was the one who helped Annie disappear after all. Later that evening, Renee and I are debating about what Rom Com to watch. I vote fir 27

She smiled with satisfaction and turned to the guards. "She needs to get dressed." Annie announced. The guards nodded and begrudgingly marched out of the room to give me privacy, shutting the door behind them. "There is nothing but friendship between Shimon and I. He loves Emma." I said quickly. Annie waved my words away. "I know that. I was being a silly, old woman. Don't worry. Now hurry up and link while you can" she ordered with a frantic look around. I wasted no time. {Hello} I linked.

Shayne says darkly as we all stop eating. "We can't beat him" Nathanial states, his fear instantly evident. "I'll die trying" Tristan says darkly, "No one is touching Armina" he adds, reaching for my hand and holding it tightly. Shayne & Aiden nod their agreement, sending Nathanial a dark look. "We have time, he does not act irrationally, he will ensure he's prepared, that's why he refused to join Ethan" Shayne continues. "I will do all I can to protect you Armina, I have many skilled warriors coming who I am sure are trust worthy" he says offering me another kind smile which I return.

She stays back as she needs a moment before she can say something with a calm voice and won’t be offensive to Annie’s ears. Carl, who was closer to the people who just came, walks to them, and puts his hand gently on Annie’s back. “It’s okay, I got you, you’re safe now,” he said to Annie. Then he looks at Lucas and the other man and says “Let her go.” The two men release her and Annie drops down on Carl’s arms. “Waaahh…” sobbed Annie, hugging Carl so tightly. Lucas and the other man left after seeing that Annie is not likely to beat up anyone anymore.

“We didn’t leave just to find Patricia. We also ran away because of the hunters. But I couldn’t think of a safer place for Aria right now.” Nick sat down beside me and handed me my cup. “She is not safe here then,” Jacob said with a smirk. “None of us are.” “We should be fine for a couple of days,” I said. “I will think of something.” “Maybe I could help,” a voice said behind me. I turned around to see Annie standing in the doorway. Her hair was still wet from showering, and she was wearing sweats and a hoodie. “How?” I raised my eyebrows at her.

I couldn’t get any words out because of how firm of a grasp he had on me. Then Annie did the one thing her husband and I never thought she would do. She fired the gun. I heard it. The sound of it being fired. What I didn’t feel, was the pain. Instead of feeling the pain from the bullet, I felt the grasp that Andrew had held me in loosen. Annie had shot her husband to save me.

explained Aaron in a more serious tone. Xante scoffed and ignored him. She turned to Annie and said, "I pity you for marrying such an idiot." Annie shrugged. "Well, I had no choice. I had to take him in so he wouldn't roam freely and harm other innocent girls!" Xante gave Annie's shoulder a comforting pat. "They should give you the Nobel Peace Prize." Hearing this, Aaron pulled Annie into a corner. "What are you saying? You 'had to' take me in, you say? Do enlighten me just how reluctant you were."
