Anna stood on her feet, took two steps towards Reid but he ordered her to stop.
"Where do you think you're going to?" He yelled at her."Coming closer to you of course, is there anything wrong with it? Aren't you the man…""Who covered the nakedness of the lady that went viral on the net. Isn't it?" He chipped in. After his encounter with Anna on that day, he returned home to see a viral photo streaming in the net—a photo of a naked lady, and he recognised that it was the lady he met in the resort.But he didn't bother over that, he wiped it off his mind and concentrated on the burden on his shoulder.She swallowed her saliva. "Uhmm! That's not it.""This is not why we're here Reid, someone did that to damage her reputation." Mr Blake added, he would do anything possible for his son to get married and damage their dignity the most.Reid turned to his father. "You really want me to get married to this bitch huh?'"I'm not a bitch, you scumbag." Anna cursed, her eyes filled up with tears already.This was exactly what she was dodging, seeing that her father wasn't saying anything to defend her. Anyways, he already told her to be strong enough in order to defend herself."I'll cancel this marriage, it can't take place." Reid made a move, but she held him. "You have to kill me before doing that, just kill me already." Her voice was polite, she wouldn't want to miss that opportunity."I'm against the marriage as well." A feminine voice came from the stairs, as their eyes darted over there.Mrs Wilson walked down to the sitting room. "This rotten brat can't get married to my son no matter what."Anna stared at her face but found it familiar."She's the one who embarrassed me at the conference meeting." The not too old woman added.Reid released a loud hiss and walked away from them, she tried stopping him the second time but couldn't.Her heart went astray until her father was done having a conversation with Blake, then they left for home."You don't have to be scared, Anna, he will still come back to his senses and search for you.""Was that the assurance Mr Blake gave you after seeing what her wife did there?" She blurted.He glanced at her. "But why would you embarrass her that way?""She's so annoying for goodness sake." She snapped and faced the window.Throughout the day, she had him in her mind. Despite it being an arranged marriage, she still longs to hold him tight. Not because she already fell in love with him, but because he seemed to be the only hope she had of restoring her reputation."Will he help me find the culprit? He should, right?" She smiled widely, taking a long breath.The night was too long for her as she contemplated everything until she dozed off only to wake up with a message in her cell phone from an unknown contact.It was the address of a company that she was to visit before noon, and she strongly believed that it was him who dropped the message. "Babel's group! That's his company…" she pulled her lips into a slight smile."But how did he get my contact?" She twisted her lips. "Maybe from I*******m." She smiled and stood up, rushed into the bathroom in order to begin dressing up.It took her a few hours to get fully ready to leave, her father was busy in the sitting room when she climbed down."Where to?""Babel's group, I got a message from an unknown number to come over there before noon." She explained.He sighed deeply. "Now who are you going there to see?""The CEO of course, I'll ask about his office once I reach." She assured him.He bid her a goodbye until she drove off from the compound, it was a long journey that taking a flight might help but she counted it as a part of suffering awaiting her.When she arrived at Babel's group, the company was too enormous beyond her imagination. There were lots of workers walking here and there and it was very busy.She gathered courage and walked up to one of them. "I'm here to see the CEO."The young lady took a good look at her from the head to her toe. "Does this look like a brothel to you? And what will the CEO be doing with a naked woman who went viral on the net?" She hissed aloud and walked out.Seeing as many eyes fell on her, she decided to be herself, walking to the elevator she met a young man coming out of an office."What's the last floor number sir?""158."She walked into the elevator and within minutes she found herself in the last floor, her belief was that the CEO's office would be there just like hers in her company.Then she began searching for the office. It took her a lot of time that she even stumbled into a lady who almost slapped her, but she dodged it.Still walking, she came in sight of a young man walking out of an office, he stared at the doorpost to see the position written there."Who are you looking for?" The young man asked her.She peeped into the office to see Reid seated but busy."Him…I want to see him..""Aren't you the…""Let her in…" Reid interrupted.He nodded and ordered Anna into the office before he left, although he was well convinced that it's the person he was talking about.Anna stood in his presence, staring around the office.Gosh! His father wasn't lying. They are darn wealthy to cover up her nakedness."You're late." He mumbled."I came with my car, instead of taking a flight." She replied politely.He took a look at her. "Get seated."She sat on the chair opposite him."I wasn't expecting you to come, because it's an arranged marriage.""But since I'm here, it's proof that I'm interested in it." She uttered.He dropped his pen and lifted his face. "Do I look like one mad man that could have gotten a wife just that way? I have a taste and choice, having a lunatic like you as a wife won't work."She bit her lower lips. "Then why did you call me over when you're aware that it won't work? You should have forgotten everything about me.""Accept this marriage and face hell.""I've already accepted it, and I'm ready to face hell." She blurted.The doorbell rang and a young man walked in, he walked to Reid breathing heavily."That was really hectic.""Look Felix…""Felix?" She muttered, drawing the attention of the young man.Their eyes met, filled with shock, while Reid stared the both of them trying to figure out what's going on.Anna stood from the chair, her gaze focused on Felix who was taking short steps towards her. Reid himself was narrow-minded of what's going on, and that made him baffled."Felix, this should be a dream right?" She scoffed, taking a glance at Reid. "How come? No, this can't be true." She grabbed her handbag to take a step, but Reid pulled her backwards. "What's going on? How come you two know yourselves?" Reid intervened, taking a look at the two. Felix matched closer. "Uhmm! She's my long time high-school friend, it's such a shock seeing that she's the chosen bride of my brother." He faked a smile.Reid nodded but was still not comfortable with that response. His brother shouldn't be in shock, if at all they're long time high-school friends then he should be surprised instead.He took a glance at Anna whose facial expression was different, it never revealed shock but anger."Are you okay?" His voice startled Anna. She nodded and smiled slightly. "I'm okay, just that I need to use the
Mr Liam was seated on the cushion, busy with the television as he was listening to the news when Anna stumbled into the room. The expression on her face revealed that everything wasn't okay.She headed to the staircase, but the deep voice of her father paused her movement. "Is everything alright with your visit? Your face doesn't look bright?""I'm just tired dad, I only need a rest." She brushed it off immediately and began climbing up, but her father called out her name in such a manner that it ached her heart. "I already assured you that I'm okay. Just a little rest will resolve everything.""If you persist, I'll come over to hear from you on how the meeting went through." Mr Liam remarked, focusing on the television again.Gosh! This old man won't stop pestering around her.She climbed the staircase and made use of her room, then fell to the bed. "This is just a mess. Everything in my life is just a mess. I can't hold up to relationships, not my company, not my marriage." She grit
Five days already elapsed, and before the altar stood Anastasia Grande and Reid Wilson after taking their marriage vows.Both families were so happy to see their children wed to each other.After the party, everyone was home including the newly wedded couple. Anna was seated on the king sized bed deep in thought.Finally, she's married to her ex-boyfriends brother, all in the name of getting back her reputation and the standard of her company, as well as avenging for the pains Felix caused her.Dude already approached her the next day with the last warning of ending the marriage or she would regret it, but she refused, insisting to see the end of the hell."One thing is concerned, it's either he'll spill the beans because I got married to his brother. Nothing much." She thought, seated on the bed. "I took this step because of you, Felix, and I'm not regretting it. You should focus on your business as we've broken up already."The sudden noise in the room drew her outta her thoughts."Y
The softness of her butt sent hot sensations all over his body. He fondled it with his right palm, while his left palm held against her cheek—drawing her closer to him.She loved that touch as well, the way he caressed every part of her skin…taking her to another world. She threw her arms round her neck, holding onto him, not letting him step backwards as she relished the taste of his lips, savoring it with utmost vigor.Her nipples rubbing his chest and his erect turgid côck tackling her pussy.He loosened her panties and let them fall to the ground, then lifted her into his arms to the bed.Anna could say nothing. She was already defeated. "Our first night as couples should be darn special. I want to see you wet and moan under me." He muttered to her. It's been years since Reid found herself on a woman. How would he even describe the heartache he had on the day he caught her on the same hotel bed he just spent his night with the woman he had called his first love?Before him were t
Hearing Anna's moans right from Reid's room, Felix felt embarrassed. He hates it that his brother has to be upon what he abandoned, not only that…why would Anna moan that way under his brother? Until the day he broke up with Anna, she never relished intimacy with him like the way she's doing with his brother."I must bring an end to this marriage." He mumbled, stumbling out of the passageway. Knocking several times to distract them didn't work, so he has to think of something else. "Anna, I warned you to step down from this marriage, but you turned deaf ear. You'll regret it…I promise you." He thought climbing down the stairs.He headed to the bar and grabbed a bottle of whisky, then filled the glass before him."Why's he frustrated?" A feminine voice startled him. He turned to see a young lady standing at his back. "Who are you?" His voice so deep and annoying.Just with his facial expressions, one would know that he's sad."I'm Lillian, can I see Reid? I think we have an appointment
Anastasia, still laying on the bed, couldn't stop thinking. Her mind roaming in different directions about what was going on which made Reid bump out of the room.Thank goodness, they were already satisfied before the urgent call came in, if not, she wouldn't let him leave. She sat on the bed taking a look round the room, it was indeed the master's bedroom, enormous and beautiful…the dim light she loved the most."I hope everything is okay, I'm very weak and I need to take my bath." She murmured and fell back to the bed, rolling her eyes. "I'll bathe you myself, you don't need to panic." She heard his voice beside her causing her to gasp."Hey! You shouldn't do that." She scolded, her right palm on her chest. "Must you sneak in just to startle me?""I didn't sneak in, maybe you were lost in thought. Come on, let's wash up." He got down from the bed and laid her a helping hand. She came down from the bed herself, ignoring his hand. "Stop acting cool, there's nothing loving between us."
If Anna was told even in the dream that she would feel pleasure from her arranged spouse from their wedding day, she wouldn't believe that. Reid already let her know that she was to face hell if she comes into the marriage…but here she is, moaning steadily while he sucked her pussy. Knowing how it feels to be sucked by a man was something she never knew existed, but Reid made it clear to her. In the past, she would give her ex-boyfriend a fellatio only for him to tell her how disgusting she was.She rubbed his hair, holding him against her. Her legs spread apart while she laid her back on the wall. Her lips wouldn't shut for a second, just filling the atmosphere with her soft moans of relish. He dipped his middle finger into her pussy, sliding it in and out her as he still licked her clitoris pleasurable. "Ohhh Fuck! Reid." She bit her lower lip, facing upwards. "Awwwhhh! Yeah! You're the best."She could feel her legs shaking, he had sucked away her whole strength leaving just the
The loud sound coming from the room paused Mrs Wilson who was passing by, she knew that was her son's room, and hearing the sound of hits coming from it…she had thought Anna was passing through a thorough beating from Reid. She quacked the door, smiling. "I knew it, Reid wouldn't tolerate such a motherfucker like you as a wife. Just pray to continue living." She muttered and walked into the room, the sight of what she met awakened her adrenaline. "What is going on here? Isn't that you, Lillian?" She shut the door.Anna stepped backwards and folded her hands while watching the way her mother in-law cuddled the woman she called a stranger into her arms, helping her up."I never knew my mother-in-law was this caring." She whispered and glued her ass on the bed. "Did you send her to attack me here? How come she's married to my husband?" Anna queried, smiles vanished from her face.Mrs Wilson took three steps closer to her after Lillian was already on her feet. "You should have it in mind
EPILOGUE“It was an order for the both of you to get married, yet you sat back and watched your fellow man take Anna from you,” Lyra screamed at Richard while he was standing before her with his palms dipped into his pocket. “Now, their divorce has been terminated and they will get married soon. What are you going to do?”He scoffed and exhaled a hot breath. “I'll wish them a happy marriage, that's all. We aren't meant to be from the beginning—and there's no way I'll drag her with my brother.” Richard stated.Her eyes grew wide. “Brother? You mean, Reid is your brother?” she walked closer to him. “Are you going to leave this state with him? His father built a company for him and he will be leaving with Anna after their wedding.”“Don't you want me to follow him there? Why do you look anxious all of a sudden?” he grinned and stepped back a bit, but she came closer again and held his hands. “Don't go with him ... you already have your own business here and it's doing well.”He arched hi

Richard was coming out of the shopping mall when he stumbled on a lady, he lifted his face and was shocked at who he was seeing. She was a total stranger to him, and her looks were scary. “I'm sorry about that..” he pleaded, there was nothing to drag when he wasn't with his men. He made a move only for him to get a terrible hit that sent him to the ground.“My name is Lyra. plan A didn't work, I think Plan B will work smoothly,” she uttered and dragged him to his car despite the looks of people. After she left Anna's residence, she visited the nearest hacker with the help of the cab driver who drove her. Anna's cell phone was hacked and she took Richard's number and then began tracking him.She must bring an end to the reunion of Reid and Anna no matter what. She drove the car herself to Richard's residence, and when his men came forward, she faked being a helper to him and would love to stay by him until he was awake. After so much contemplation, she was allowed to do so and that was
It was the first time Lyra met with Anna, and she hated it. There was nothing good about seeing the woman that made Reid stay away from her all these years, she wanted to snap her neck, but that wouldn't help, instead, it would cause more issues. She heard everything about Reid and decided to visit his father thinking that he would help out—at least, Reid should take the national company for himself ...but it looked like Anna came for the same reason as well because she overheard a little of their conversations. Now, the bitter part of it isn't that Anna visited for the same reason, she's scared that Anna will make the old man love her again and want her back to Reid and that she wouldn't want. “They are already divorced, so there's much to think about—still I'm scared that they may come back together. Anna is wealthy and famous, she has a company and can easily build Reid again...then I'll be the loser because I offered nothing.” she let out a hot breath. Her eyes caught with the c
After Anna ended her conversation with the lawyer, she decided to go visit Mr Wilson like she had said. Since the distance was a bit far and it was running late, she booked an urgent flight which took her to their town, and then she boarded a taxi that drove her to their compound.She wished not to see Mrs Wilson, the sight of her still irritates her especially when she recalls that the elderly woman had never loved her. “Greetings Sir!'' She greeted Mr Wilson who was standing at the veranda taking a look around. It's nice to see him stand on his feet without quivering, he was improving faster.“Anna!” he was shocked to see her. He threw his arms around her in an embrace. “It's been a while, how have you been?”She smiled widely. That was unexpected. “Im okay Sir…”“Come on, drop the formalities. Let's go in.” he led the way into the sitting room and offered her a seat. He also ordered the chef to prepare something for her to take which she didn't reject. It's been a while, so everyth
Anna visited Richard, knowing that her son had been there and Richard would never let her take him back, she decided to see how he was fairing. At least, she was glad that Reid was released, that way she wouldn't feel guilty anytime she recalled him. She didn't want to drive, so her driver took the car key and they drove off. Immediately she arrived at Richard’s residence and stepped into the building, Drake ran towards him like he knew she was coming. She glanced around but Richard wasn't in the sitting room—Drake was the only one in there watching the cartoon that was playing.“Where's uncle?” she asked him and he pointed towards the stairs. “In his room, he only came down once and fed me, then he went back to his room saying that he had a lot to do. He was deaf when I talked about going home to see you.” Drake narrated.She pinched her lips. “Your uncle isn't deaf, he is busy and I already told him that i'll be coming that's why.” she cautioned him and he nodded.She walked upsta
Reid hugged Anna and bid her goodbye, he went into the car and his lawyer drove off. They were heading to see his parents, that was the only way to know if what they read online was true or just a rumor. His heart wasn't in a place, he wished that it would be all a lie. Not that being their adopted child is a crime or because he feels leaving the company will be the end of his life—but the relationship is what he does not wish to see end.If this is true, then he won't have a family again, no one to talk to or call a family.His parents were having dinner when he arrived at home. They headed to meet them there. Even if they will lose their appetite because of the issue, then there's no issue.“Dad!” He hugged him from behind but he didn't respond. He wasn't shocked, that was also a way of knowing if everything was true or not. He took a seat and signaled the lawyer to do as well. “I am out because I'm innocent,” he uttered only to get a heavy glare from his mother.“Who asked you and
“No one should mention my name until I get this file.” he barked at one of his men through the phone. His mother already left, and he aimed to find the adoption file and take it to the orphanage that his mother had directed him to. He wants to do this because he believes that it's the only way for him to put down his brother and get everything to himself. “Once the adoption is dissolved, you'll have no right over my father's properties again.” he grinned.The sound of the door made him turn to face his father, he released a loud annoying hiss and went back searching for it again.“Can't you just give up? This is getting out of hand and I hate it….” his father complained. He glared at him and continued, there was no time to reply to his father, all he wanted was to see the file, yet after searching almost all the files he had come across—it was yet to be found. “Just tell me where it is. I'm trying to avoid anything that will bring you down through that bastard.” he screeched at his fa
It's been five days since Anna was hospitalized yet there was no response from her. Reid had pleaded to go visit her in the hospital, and the DOP allowed him to go with the sergeants, he was bittered when he saw Anna still lying lifeless on the hospital bed, the tears that gathered in his eyes were uncontrollable.He knelt beside the bed and held her palm, staring at her face. “You have to wake up Anna, you've slept a lot. You need to wake up so I won't be life imprisoned, you're the only witness that I have now—so open your eyes and spare me these accusations,” he muttered, hoping to get a reply from her, but he heard nothing, not even her finger moved.The electrocardiogram began making sounds that attracted the attention of everyone in the room, he rushed out of the hospital and alerted the doctor who rushed in with other doctors to check on her.“Conduct CPR!” the senior doctor ordered and one of them began it immediately. It looked like nothing was done, the vital signs were beco
