2024-01-21 18:45:31As he attempted to pry her lips apart, she was momentarily paralyzed with astonishment for a brief moment. But only for the span of a single heartbeat. Not again, Anna swore, boiling with wrath at his antics and the complete disrespect of his agreement to depart. "Not again," she promised.
"Not again." She clenched her palm into a fist and lunged at him while simultaneously bringing her knee up in a forceful manner, aiming for the weakest area of the man's body. He was able to get away with lightning-fast reactions. But he was thrown off balance, and as he went backward, he carried her with him, and the two of them ended up in a tangled mess on the sofa.
Anna was out of breath, and before she knew what had happened, she was lying face down on him with the weight of her body pressing down on David and he hugged her. She made another attempt to strike out at him, but he managed to grab both of her hands and hold them firmly over her head with

Anna felt a chill down her spine as she listened to the unyielding tone in his voice. It appeared like something had gone wrong. She moved into a sitting position without thinking about it at all. His reply, which he delivered in a silky voice, was like a bucket of icy water dumped over Anna's hot senses. He reached out and stroked a few tendrils of hair off her brow before continuing. "And, beautiful and wanton as you are," he said. "I have no intention of making love to you in this shrine to your dead husband." "Anna, the next time we make love, it will be at a location and at a time that I choose," he said.She couldn't bring herself to accept the reality that her thoughts were painting for her, so she just kept staring at his expressionless face. She was able to see the glint of cynical victory in his chocolate brown eyes and the dark yearning in his enlarged pupils, and as a result, she turned her head away from him. He had purposefully made love to h

She was a Haengsu wearing the red silk hanbok and cowers within the darkness of her closet. Her delicate hands clutch the folds of her vibrant garment as she tries to silence her breathing. It was nearly midnight. The room was dark.Outside the closet, the room echoes with the deep, commanding voice of the enigmatic and persistently pursuing Prince. His presence exudes power, a stark contrast to the refined beauty of the Kisaeng house.He was calling through the door “Where are you hiding? You cannot escape me.” “You cannot deny the inevitable.” His voice was playful.She presses herself deeper into the shadows, fear, and determination etched on her face. She knows the reputation of the notorious prince, a black sheep among the monarchy, relentless in his pursuits.Just a moment ago she was doing her duty. Amidst a mesmerizing performance, her captivating voice and graceful movements draw the attention of the crowd. Among them, he

No, she was simply being imaginative about it! It was just a dream. Taking the remote control for the television in her hand, she navigated to the History Channel and did her best to pay attention to the fascinating documentary that was playing on the screen.She gave up after 10 minutes and began to aimlessly roam about the room, caressing her cherished keepsakes while continuing to have apprehension. What she needed was first a soothing bath, and then sleep. At five in the morning on the next day, it was her responsibility to go to the flower market.One hour later, she tried to sleep again on the bed that she and Allen had shared, but she was unable to do so. She became restless and eventually rolled over onto her back, where she stared blankly at the ceiling. She was lying flat. When she moved a finger to her lips, which were slightly swollen, the memory of David’s kiss came to her mind, much to her embarrassment. Her mind was raci

Anna hobbled into the landscaping shop while lugging the final box of plants from the trunk of her car. When she finally set the box down inside the shop, she let out a sigh of relief. Even though she enjoyed going to the flower market and picking out different varieties of flowers, she did not mind getting up at the crack of morning. Anna congratulated herself on a job well done before making her way to a bench equipped with two sinks, a kettle, and some much-needed coffee.Because she had only had a few hours of sleep the night before, she had little trouble getting started this morning, but it was starting to catch up to her now. It was a blessing that she was able to sit down at the desk and take a revitalizing sip of coffee. In the bright daylight, everything had a considerably more favorable appearance. She had her own company, her friends, her own house, and a tiny garden. After a terrible weekend, she was back to normal, and David Miller was no longer a

"Good morning, Anna," someone said.She stutteringly greeted him with "G...G... Good morning" and simply stood there staring as he approached her. His attire consisted of a charcoal-gray fitted business suit, a white shirt, and a blue tie. Even though he had grown his hair out since the last time she had seen him, he was still the same darkly attractive and haughty man she recalled. She sincerely hoped that she hadn't.He grinned and remarked, "It's a pleasure to meet you again," which he stated in a smooth tone.When she looked up, he met her gaze with eyes that did not exhibit the slightest sign of humor; rather, they displayed a ruthless focus that triggered an alarm in her mind. She quickly averted her gaze. Her self-assurance took a fall, and she had the distinct impression that David posed a threat to her mental well-being.Anna sent an anxious glance in the direction of her father, but he was fixated on his coffee cup as

'Jail!' She stared at her father in complete disbelief, fully anticipating that he would refute David's ridiculous remark. She pleaded with him to dispel the notion that it was even conceivable.Her father mumbled an apology before rising to his feet and leaving the room. He was no longer the energetic guy with blue eyes that she adored; rather, he was a weary old man who looked every one of his sixty years plus ten more years than he was. His shoulders were sagged, his eyes were dim, and his face was pale and weathered. She was aware that David was being honest with her. Her father lowered his arm and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, and she instinctively reached up to cover it with her own.He was exhausted when he remarked to Anna, "I never meant for this to happen.""If it's okay with you, I won't go to lunch with you," her father said weakly. Take David with you instead; he will be able to explain what has occurred far better than I c

Because of this, half an hour later, Anna was in David's Los Angeles apartment. She was sitting on a black hide sofa with a glass of white wine in her hand and watching in disbelief as David placed a variety of cartons on the coffee table and whipped off the lids of the containers. It wasn't until they had driven away from Hollywood Boulevard that he placed the order on the food app, and it was only then that she realized she had made yet another mistake.He spoke to her in a monotone voice, saying, "I hope you like Japanese food" as he handed her a bowl and a pair of chopsticks. She accepted the bowl, too astonished to do anything else, and when he forked some rice and salt-and-pepper prawns into it, she found herself eating a couple of them. She had taken the dish because she was too stunned to do anything else.However, even though her nerves were on edge, she turned down all of his offers of more. Instead, she focused her attention on observing the flat through the

Her initial assumption was that the man had lost all semblance of sanity, but once she caught a glimpse of the steely resolve reflected in the depths of his eyes, she began to have second thoughts."We can announce our engagement at the birthday party for your father tonight."Due to the ridiculous nature of his offer, Anna was jolted out of the cloud of sadness that had been threatening to devour her. She chuckled to herself internally as she pictured Annet's expression. "Are you out of your mind?", she cried out in shock. "For heaven's sake, you're my sister's boyfriend," Anna said, and all of a sudden, she had the bright idea that would solve the issue entirely. "Instead of asking me, you ought to address your inquiry to her." I do not doubt that she will seize the opportunity.His fingers became firmer on her chin as he continued to say, " Annet is nothing more than an old acquaintance." "I swear I have never known her in the sexual sense—as I have you

David cupped her face and said, “There is nothing that can make me queasy when it comes from you.”“Your body is where my child grows, and your blood is her blood also.”“Don’t ever think that it is something to be embarrassed about.”Anna smiled weakly at the man before her. ‘How could she not love this man?’David led her to the shower while helping her out of her clothes.He reached out to take the soap, but she said, “Please let me do it on my own, my breast is so sore, and it hurts too much.”“Okay, but let me do your back.” he insisted as he watched her.“We can visit the baby after breakfast.” he said.At this point, Anna was excited to see Selene. She swiftly finished her bath and changed into a wrap-around pink floral dress.They ate their breakfast and went to the hospital after.They were looking at their child through the incubator, she was so beautiful yet so fragile. 'I can't wait to hold her in my arms,' Anna thought. She felt so mesmerized by her. David wrapped his arm

Anna woke up in the hospital the next day. Last night, she had a c-section because of the preterm labor. David was sitting near her. “Is the baby, okay?” She asked weakly. “The baby is in intensive care,” David said calmly. “Oh my God, is she going to be, okay?” concern was evident on her face. “All her vital signs are okay; however, she is in the incubator.” David cupped her face gently. “No need to worry, Anna, her pediatric doctor is a known specialist.” David reached for Anna and hugged her. At this very moment, she wanted to feel his warmth because she couldn't control her anxiety. Then the Doctor came to visit. “Good morning, Mrs. Miller.” She was an older woman with kind eyes. “I’m Doctor Avery Samuel, nice to meet you,” she said. “Nice to meet you too Doctor,” Anna replied. “Can I see my baby?” “Yes, but We had to wait for your OB-GYN, Doctor Ethan's recommendation.” “When it’s safe to move you, then you can visit your baby, but you have to understand that you cannot

Anna dialed a memorized number on her phone.A sleepy voice answered her call, and Anna felt a surge of relief. “Sara? How about lunch?”“I didn't get to bed until three, you impossible person. Must it be today?”“We could make it a late lunch,” Anna persisted and heard Sara's laughing approval.“Name the time and place, and I'll meet you there.”“One-thirty. At the Grove,” she returned without hesitation.They met within minutes of the appointed time and managed, by good fortune to be shown to atable overlooking the fountain. After the serious business of ordering was completed, they settleddown to exchanging news, something which lasted through the starter, and well into the maincourse.“You're positively blooming,” Sara complimented quietly.“Your hair, your skin. everything about you. I couldn't be more pleased everything is working out.”Anna managed a bright smile that didn't fool her friend in the slightest.“Not quite, huh? What's the problem?”“I didn't ask you to meet me

She rose to her feet and gathered the cutlery and glasses, then carried them through to thekitchen.David followed, and she heard him locking the outer doors and setting the security alarm.It was a simple task to load the dishwasher, and she had just finished when he entered the room.He looked over all the powerful masculine: dark trousers, light tan skin, dark hair, in stark contrast to the white shirt. Tall, he almost seemed overpowering, and, while she craved his touch, there was a part of her that cried out against any sexual defeat.She watched as he dispatched food down the waste disposal unit, then dropped emptycontainers into the pedal bin before washing and drying his hands. In silence, he turned andcaught hold of her hand, leading her through to the lounge, and then he selected a slow song.Soft music emanated from the speakers and Anna looked at him speechlessly as he drew her intohis arms.Crazy, she thought, as he pulled her close against him and began to drift slow

“There's an excellent piece you really must see. Expensive, but worthy of investment.” He riffledthrough the catalog pages and brought the item to David's notice, then made his excuses assomeone else demanded his attention.“I happen to like Zhang Hongtu,” Anna protested as David's amused gaze rested on her expressive features.“So do I,” he assured her, and, placing an arm around her waist, he directed her towards a display.“Shall we begin viewing?”Some paintings verged on the bizarre, others resembled caricatures of design over brilliant slashes of color. One, in particular, looked as if a very young child had indulged in a wild battle with numerous pots of multicolored paint.“What do you think?”Anna turned towards David and tried to present a considered viewpoint. After severalseconds she voiced with restraint, “I'd prefer not to answer on the grounds that anything I saycould be overheard, taken into account, and held against me.”“A remarkable nonconformist piece,” David d

“Anna. How are you, darling? Sorry to keep you waiting.”She closed the magazine and rose to her feet with a ready smile. “Michael.”“Your hand? It is still giving you pain?' He drew her towards the far end of the salon and seated her at a basin.“It aches a little.”Michael's personal attention was rare, and Anna, by virtue of being David's wife, appeared tobe one of the favoured few.She wrinkled her nose as he sluiced water over her hair and applied shampoo, rinsed and repeated the process with conditioner, then towelled it dry before leading her to a mirrored cubicle.“Are you able to drive again?”‘The specialist says I can. David would prefer Jacob to continue in the role of chauffeur. Although he has compromised and bought me another car.'“He is being protective, hmm?”“You could say that,” she agreed with suitable dryness.Michael picked up his scissors and comb and went to work. “Don't knock it, darling,” he cautioned wryly.“Men are not usually protective unless they care.

‘Would it ever be any different?’‘Could it be? Sadly, she didn't think so…’Even if she prepares herself for what is to come, she knows that David will also fight for this child to be his. ‘It will be a long battle.’Anna wandered down to the swimming pool and sat in one of the chairs positioned beneath a wide sun umbrella. The sun felt warm against her bare skin, and she leaned her head back and closed her eyes.“Anna? It is eleven-fifteen.”She came sharply awake at the sound of Amy's voice, amazed that she could have lapsed into a light doze. Her hand had swollen slightly and was beginning to show signs of bruising. There was also a degree of pain when the physiotherapist supervised her exercises, a fact which he noted, adding an admonition to be more careful. There didn't seem to be much point in assuring him that it was not self-inflicted.At home, she ate the chicken salad Amy had prepared for lunch, and then she changed into a bikini,selected a book, and wandered out to sit b

When another couple joined them, Anna let out a breath of relief because most of the people were aimlessly wandering from table to table. While the woman had a light talk with Anna, the man—a business associate of David's—began an intense debate with him.Anna glanced at David with a look of surprise as he rested his arm across the back of her chair twenty minutes before they departed.“It is getting close to eleven o'clock.”“Our mission has been accomplished.”“Are you ready to go?” Anna nodded in agreement.Without saying a word more, he had them leave the ballroom and start to lead the way. A number of his friends wanted to talk to him, and while he waited a second to say a few expressions of courteous reply, he did not remain.Anna sank into the leather-cushioned seat and relaxed as David lowered the Bentley to street level, joining the steady flow of traffic leaving the city.It was pleasurable just to relax in the car.

Anna caught her breath as David locked eyes with the model, who appeared innocent, in a way that only Amelia could.“Yes, to my great joy.” Underneath the velvety smoothness of his voice, there was no mistaking the steely core.As the guest speaker stepped up to the podium, Anna removed fruit segments from their meringue nest and set the plate aside, choosing tea as the dessert arrived, which was a letdown.Then, a DJ played some tunes in the background and urged everyone to get down on the dance floor. With grace and elegance, Amelia and her partner were among the first to ascend the stairs.She had an air of confidence and sophistication. Anna could tell the model was fully aware of the impact she was making on her partner from the subtle allure of her face.She wanted to know if it was helping David out or not.Meeting his shadowed stare unsettled Anna, who sneaked a peek at him. She blinked when he reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers, and she smiled tentatively becau
