There Would Be A Party Tonight

The early morning sun shone brightly into her eyes, blinding her temporarily. She didn't find Lucian in the room when she woke up, but the scent coming from the bathroom made her got out of the bed. 

It was the scent of her bathing liquid soap, she found the same maid who had attended to her wounds earlier, she seem to be preparing a bath for her. '' Good morning young madam'' she smiled and it glowed blissfully. 

'' Did you see Lucian, when you got in?'' she asked, ignoring her questions, although not purposely, she was worried were he could have gone this morning, when they had meetings to attend to. She was confident that he knew the old man's better.

'' Do you mean young master? She lowered her head'' she was surprised she was calling him by his name, she knew how much punishment anyone can earn themselves when they call him by his name. '' I asked a question, why do you look that way like you have just seen a ghost?'' her brow knitted together. 

'' Uhm_ no young madam, I didn't set my eyes on him when I got into the room'' she stuttered at the beginning, staring at Anna.

'' Come and have your bath please, it is prepared already'' she said. Anna pulled down her night silver gown, and got into the bathtub. She lie flat inside the warm water, as the maid began to scrumb and wash her body.

She was quick with the bath, as she was working with time and stylishly waiting for Lucian to show up in the room already. Anna sat in front of the mirrior as the maid dressed her up. 

'' What is your name?'' Anna asked with a smile, as she washed how she was taking care of her hair from the mirror. '' Yula'' she said, focused on the long hair she was tying into a ponytail.

Anna was already dressed in one of her causual gown, and she had told Yula just to applied a little touch of make up on her face, she wasn't a fan of heavy make up. She just live with life that easy, wearing something comfortable and living her life.

Someone stormed into the room. She glance through the mirror and took a long sigh '' Thank Goodness, he is dressed already'' a little smile plastered on her face.

'' Take those trash off! You can't wear those, going out with me'' he sounded frustrated. '' What is wrong with my dress Lucian?'' she turned away from the mirror, looking at him, with confuse eyes.

Before she could asked another question he walked out of her, throwing the clothes he brought on the bed. Anna's eyes down casted, she felt embarrassed, he even had to raise his voice at her in front of the maid. She fought back the tears, she picked the gown from the bed and stood in front of the mirror,  his harsh words were playing in her head, she squeezed the gown with her fist, painfully.

'' Fine, I would wear this if this is what he wants!'' she yelled, giving Yula's the clothes, to dress her up. Anna got dressed and showed up on the alley, were she would be walking down the stairs. 

'' Open the next car for her, she would go with that car'' Lucian said, taking his glance off her, he had only stared at her once, and not again did he untill he got into the car that was at the front.

'' Anna would go along with you in the same car'' it sounded like an ordered, Lucian squeezed his fist on the leather chair of the car, the moment he heard his annoying voice.

Anna bowed her head, she climbed up in the car , Lucian had entered. He threw his glance to the other side of the car as always, as the driver drove off.

He thought of how forcefully he had signed the documents and agreed to it, he saw how the needle was about piercing into her neck, damn it! Why is she doing this, she had the time to escape, but she didn't and let him get trapped because of her! the energes he emited were a bit scary to Anna, she study as the veins on his side face, displayed and Anna's eyes followed his hands squeezing the seat in the car.

It was an early morning meeting , with a life span of two hours. Lucian's stepped out of the car. He was stunned to see the official of the company, waiting to welcome him on boards. For fuck's sake he has to force a fake smile on his cheek and act like he was happy about the so called marriage.

Lucian gave Anna a hand, helped her out of the car as some of the medias took photos of them. He was boiling with rage inside of him, as he clunked to her, and walked together into the company. 

The meeting was at the third floor, which happened to be the last floor. Built with all luxuries, a transparent glass was the door at the top floor, they could see what happens outside and downstairs, but impossible for them to be seen.

Anna didn't flopped either, she gave them a fake smile and pretend to be happy couples. '' Ohhh, I see you are Lucian's new fish?'' a lady dressed in silver gown, and on a red heels, coupled with her red bag, she looks expensive, the lady rolled her eyes in exasperation, as he walked around her.

'' Why is husband not with you?'' she grinned, Anna was in his office, seating and waiting for him as he had instructed her.  Anna, let out a slight smile and stared at the lady, blabbing her mouth, she called her a fish...

Anna took her eyes back on the news paper in her hands as she when on with her nonsense talks. '' How dare you keep me mute, do you know who I am?!'' she raised her hands at Anna, throwing a slap to her face. 

The lady face squeezed in pain, as Lucian squeezed her hands with his hard grip, them flung it away. '' Don't you ever dare, raised your hands on my wife again!'' he sneered at her. Anna was shocked that he had just rescued her from this woman , throwing a slap at her face. 

'' Lu_cian?'' she stuttered his name and her face sank deeply in pain, she was angry that Lucian had rescued the girl he doesn't like, and never wanted to marry.  Anna squinted her eyes, when she heard the lady called him by his name. 

Anna learnt no one dares calls him by his name, and this woman just did. Who is she to him? She went silent watching them, she was graceful that she has just been saved by him, and why would a stranger just slap her for no reason, after all she was the one who insulted her, by calling her a 'fish'.

'' Lucian, why are you suddenly supporting the girl, you were forced to get married to!'' she yelled to his face, her head grew big and reddish in anger.

'' This lady here is my wife, and if you dare think of laying those your fifthly hands on her, then you would have to answer to me! Got it!'' Lucian yelled at her, she ran out of the room, extremely furious, she felt like throwing herself into a pool, despite having the knowledge that she can't swim, she wants to sink  to quench the rage of embarrassement she has earned herself.

Anna continued to stare at them, and mostly at him. She was copying his words in her head, if he dislike her that much, then why does he always supports her?

'' Let's get out of this place!'' he dragged her hands, pulling her alongside him, walking fast with his longs legs as it would lead him. It was as though he was being chased.

 Lucian was a tall handsome man, with broad chest, and I mean just freaking masculine, like his built up muscles, sweet testosterone and whatever the heck was all man. He didn't look like a model, I mean his beauty was beyond that. His cheekbones were broad, his bone structure were square, and his mouth were exactly, small and red, there were kissable, and packaged together. It was a remarkable face. A stunning face.

Anna was surprised at why they were suddenly leaving already, but she didn't asked. She got into the car, as he had ordered. '' Lucian, what just happened back there?'' she said with her pleasant tone voice. '' I told you, you should try getting yourself off trouble! You are making my life a mess!'' he yelled loudly at her, luckily inside the car. Anna was frozen at the position she sat, her face declined from a hundred percent happy face to a totally painful face.

She wasn't going to keep shut anymore, she wants to know what he really thinks of her, why does he blame her like she is the one causing all this trouble for him. Why does he think she is making his life a mess, ''a mess...'' just that word would shatter the little happiness left in her life, whenever he says it to her. 

If he hated her that much, why does he always protect her! Why does he always rescue her, if he so much despice her and blame her for everything that is happening. '' Lucian, I don't understand you, what in the world are you? Why are you confusing my already shattered life the more?!'' Lucian turned his hard gaze back at her, and they softens all of a sudden, when he saw tears in her eyes, which he had caused. 

'' Were the words really hurtful to her?'' he lowered his gaze, as they softens towards her. And then again they became hard '' Why would the words hurt her, if she was doing this purposely! I mean she had refused to escape when she had the chance to!'' he screamed crazily in his mind.

''  I don't care about anything you think! I can't afford to let you hurt , and gain any crashes on your body. As my wife, you will have to be clean and no bruises on ang part of your body. The old man's beast would rise again, and who knows what would happen to you, if any of the plans goes wrong?'' his gaze fell to the ground as he tried as much as possible to explain calmly, but his pride won't let him he tried as much to press the harsh tones but they were coming out raw. 

 Goddamn it, he was suffocating in this place already, his ears were already aching from hearing them address him as the heir of the yul's group,  the suit were making his life miserable! He fucking doesn't want this kind of life, No he doesn't want it.

Anna stared at his eyes, but they were unfathomable, she couldn't get what he was thinking, she haven't even really spoken to him quite well, since the day he was forced to sign the marriage papers. 

'' But... Why are we leaving so soon?'' she stuttered, wiping the tears from her cheek, even though she hasn't been cleared off her confusion yet.

'' They would be an event tonight, meeting all the board directors, and also to introduce you to them as my wife'' his eyes met hers, and he saw the dry tears on her cheek, and for some reasons he felt bad for speaking, that way to her.

'' Was it a must you had a wife, before you could be of rank as one of the board members?'' she asked a question, he thought she knew. '' Yes, I must have a wife, before I can be on board'' he said, still having his face thrown aside the window of the car. 

The driver had already began driving, and the afternoon was hot, it was inconvenience to her especially the clothes she had put on. He peeked at her with a corner eyes, he saw how she was battling with the heat, then his eyes fell on the clothes he had asked  her to wear. '' She wore the clothes....'' he murmured the words and shrugged. 

'' Have this...'' he gave her his handkerchief, reaching his hands to her while, his face were still kept on the road, like he was avoiding eye contacts with her. 

Anna almost hesitated to take the clothes from him. '' You need it, you are hot'' he said, when he noticed she wasn't taking it. '' T_ thank you'' she stuttered, she peeked a glance at his face, as usual it was facing the other side, out the window.
