Chapter 2: A Stranger's Bastard.

"I'll tell it to you straight! That wine you drank the other night,I added a little something to it,and out of goodwill, I found two ugly men for you to fulfill your desires. Who knew you would be so insensible? You actually entered a wild man's room and even unceremoniously.....Layla tones was full of disgust: Alex is too kind hearted,he was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept the truth,so he said it was him that night. 

You...Anna was shaking from anger,listening up to here,she could no longer hold up her anger,she forcefully grab Layla wrist,"why would you do that to me?"

Why?! Haven't you harmed me enough?!!

Layla had her eyebrow raised in anger at first ,and was about to push Anna away,but se caught sight of Alex standing behind Anna. She immediately softened her voice showing off a delicate and pitiful expression. "Older sister I know I was wrong. If you want to beat and scold someone,then do it towards me,don't blame Alexander...."

Anna froze and in the next second,she saw Layla fall to the ground,that posture....was as if she pushed her.

"Anna! What did you do?--" A scolding voice sounded behind her,Anna turned in surprise and saw Alex staring at her with a cold expression.

Alex brushed past her and supported Layla up: Layla are you okay?

Layla was practically hanging her entire body on Alex : "Alexander I didn't do it on purpose,I know I'm in the wron....I'm the one who should be sorry to sister for causing all this....

"That's enough ,I'll settle everything !! Alex patted Layla shoulders,letting her enter the car. I'll explain everything to Anna.

Anna's mind was completely blank,she watched Alex walked towards her and watched his mouth open and close.

He talked for a long time.

He talked about their childhood love,of his struggle when he  fell in love with Layla,of his anger when he found out that Layla plotted against her,of his guilt when he found out Anna was pregnant...He spoke of how he had accepted Layla's apology...

Finally,he said: "Anna,I'm sorry,I can't marry you. It's not because of the matter of that night or this child,but it's because I can't let Layla down,and I don't want to deceive myself and feelings".

These few months,he had been taking Layla overseas with him,and after getting along together day and night,it was even harder to separate. Even though he had admitted that he was the one who had relations with Anna that night for the sake of covering up her pain,in his heart ,he had already chosen Layla. 

So after knowing that Anna was pregnant,he could not bear it any longer and immediately went to the Ferrah's family to explain everything to their parents and to reveal the truth to Anna. 

"Then Alex you knew all along that it was Layla who drugged me all along to ruin my innocence...?for the sake of protecting her,you told me it was you that night? The Anna that has now recovered her voice look at the calm and cool Alex as if her soul has escaped from her body. 

"Layla did not do it on purpose,she's still young and impulsive...

"Then what about me?Anna raised her head to look at Alex face full of disgust. "Did you ever think of me,not even for a little bit?".

Alext did not speak and after for a little while,he reached out to Anna:" The sun is too bright, let's go home first....

Don't touch me ---" Anna pushed Alex hand away and started laughing loudly.

Living up to now, Anna felt that her life has been a joke .

In order to live in the same city as Alex,she had put all her strength to her studies,so she could get into Crown university. 

In order to please Alex,she had given up on her dream of acting. 

In order to match his family background and upbringing ,she had abandoned her adoptive parents to return to the Ferrah's family, clumsily trying to please these so-called distinguished figures....

In the end,what she received was one statement."I can't let Layla down".

Layla,had stolen not only her identity,and her biological parents,but now...she had even stolen her childhood sweetheart from her!!!

Layla was still young,so her mistakes could still be forgiven?

Then___who would take responsibility for her life??

She even --She didn't even know who the man from that night was!

Anna covered her face;her body shaking fiercely,she was already in the depths of despair. 

Alex watched Anna walk towards the road unthinkingly,as if in a trance. He threw away the cigarettes he was grasping between his finger,and was about to chase after her,but was held back by Layla who held his sleeve from behind:"Alex_where are you going to?

And in the instant Alex was hesitating,a loud noise rang out . Anna who was had been walking on the zebra crossing,was thrown into the air,landing heavily on the ground.

"Help-- help -- A pregnant woman was hit--"

In the glaring light Anna saw shaking silhouettes and the two faces that made her nauseous. The cramping pain that came from her belly caused her to loose consciousness bit by bit. She only blinked her eyes once,and the fresh blood on her forehead flowed into her eyes... the world fell into darkness.
