MARRIED TO A CRUEL BILLIONAIRE
That isn't fair," I said, my voice cracking. "I cannot marry someone I do not love, no matter how convenient it is for you. "I am not going to do it!"
I was shivering with wrath.
Madam Angelica sighed heavily, her expression intensifying. "You're being selfish, Anna," she said. "It's not just about you; it's about the entire family and the future. I understand you don't want to marry someone you don't love, but I need you to understand the importance of this decision."
I was at a breaking point. I'd always been a polite girl, following what I was taught and never challenging my family's judgment. But this time, I was willing to fight for what I wanted. My joy was too precious to sacrifice for the sake of family responsibilities.
"I won't do it," I shouted."I won't be part of this arranged marriage" I clutched my bag firmly and dashed off to work in rage.

Chapter: CHAPTER 33: THE TRUTH.
~ANNA’S POV~I woke early, feeling refreshed and revitalized from a good night's sleep in Vicky's comfortable bed. As I cautiously got out of bed, I took care not to wake Victoria, who was still deep sleeping.I moved slowly, careful not to make any noise that might wake her up.I tiptoed out of the room, quietly closed the door behind me to keep Victoria's beautiful sleep undisturbed.As I made my way to the kitchen, the morning stillness was a pleasant relief from the storm that had been brewing in my head. I started making a basic breakfast, the fragrance of freshly made coffee filling the air.Just as I was about to sit down to drink, my phone buzzed with an incoming text message. My heart skipped a beat as I wondered who could be contacting me so early.Lura's worried message flashed on my screen: "Ma Anna, where are you? I hope you're safe?" Her concern was palpable, and I felt a pang of guilt for not checking in earlier.For a moment, I had forgotten to let Kevin know t

Chapter: CHAPTER 32: I NEED TO FIND HER.
~ANNA’S POV~As I sat in the cab, heading home, my mind refused to shake off the lingering thoughts. The dizziness had subsided, and I suspected the intoxication from the shots at the bar had finally worn off.After leaving Johnny, I hailed a cab and headed home. But as we approached the mansion, I felt a sudden change of heart. I didn't feel like going inside anymore.All I needed was a safe haven, a place to clear my head and escape my thoughts. But the mansion didn't feel like the right place to be.I considered my options. Going back to Johnny's didn't make sense, and Madam Angelica's mansion was definitely out of the question. That left one other possibility: Victoria's place.But I would need to come up with an excuse for Kevin. I quickly called Lura to check if he was home, and luckily, he wasn't. I was sure that when he did come back, he wouldn't bother asking about my whereabouts.Lately, Kevin had been acting strangely. He had been avoiding me since his return

Why had Lisa arranged for dinner with her parents?

Groggily, I got out of bed, my eyes heavy with sleep.I was shocked that Kevin had left for work so early without even saying goodbye or inviting me to join him for breakfast. His behavior was becoming increasingly alarming.After freshening myself, I went to the outdoor gym for my morning workout. Since finding I was pregnant, I had prioritized my health.As I stretched and warmed up, I decided to get on the treadmill and listen to my favorite music through my AirPods. The pace of the music put me into the zone, but my workout was cut short by an incoming call.I answered with a tap on the sensor, trying to sound composed despite my heavy breathing. "Hello?" I said, my voice slightly shaky."Anna, how have you been?" Madam Angelica's voice replied on the other end of the line.I slowed down the treadmill, showing respect, and tried to sound more composed. "Hi, Mom. I'm doing well, thanks. How about you?
