*Unknown Person’s Pov *
Anna's POV
I came downstairs with them, and they took me inside a dining room; I was left in too much awe. I couldn’t express how big the dining room was. If I run here for 2 or 3 times only, I'm sure I can lose 3 or 4 pounds.
These rich people were too much. A middle-class people couldn't even afford our basic needs in our daily lives, but they would do everything they desired.
I looked everywhere, but I didn't notice anyone else. I turned and looked around.
A man came to me. From his clothes, he looked like a chef or cook.
“Madam, what do you want to eat? Please order anything you want,” he informed me like I was the owner. Did he know I was here because someone kidnapped me?
“Anything I want? Are you sure?” I asked with a hidden meaning.
“Yeah, madam, anything you want," he answered me with overconfidence.
"Cook me the person who kidnapped me, or just give me the person, uncooked will also do; I just won't eat that person,” I said while grinding my teeth tighter.
Did he look at me in shock? I could see he was trying his best not to gulp in fear.
“If you can't, forget it; I'm not hungry; I want to see the person who kidnapped me," I said and tried to be polite to him.
“Madam, I can't do anything about this; I'm just a chef; my duty is to cook for you,” he said, looking like he was going to cry helplessly.
Seeing his sad face, I stopped myself from arguing with him.
“Then don't bother me; I'll not eat until I see that person.” I sat down at the head chair of the dining table.
Just as I sat down, everyone screamed, which frightened me.
Looking at their shocking reaction, I doubted if I sat on some bombs or not.
I looked at a woman who was near me. "At least tell me before you all give me a heart attack. Don't you all think my kidnapping is enough for my poor heart? " I said helplessly.
Everyone fell silent once again like they didn't even exist here. I sighed. Why did it leave them expressionless whenever I mentioned about kidnapping?
"Madam, please eat something; otherwise, we'll be in grave trouble," a woman said to me.
"I'm not hungry. If no one tells me why I'm here or let me meet the person who kidnapped me, then I'll go on a hunger strike," I threatened them.
"But madam," the cook tried to say something, but I stopped him; I stood up from the chair.
I'm not a child that you all will coax me with food. I'll not eat until I see the person even, I have to die from hunger," this time I was screaming so loudly that my words were buzzing in my own ears.
"You don't need a hunger strike. Turn around, and you'll see the person you wanted to see," a voice came from behind me, making me shocked because I found the voice remarkably familiar. Head to toe, my entire body was shivering.
I felt my knees were feeble; they couldn't support my body anymore; I might collapse soon.
But my heart was saying, don't worry, it's not him, not him. But no matter how much I tried, my head was saying only one thing: It's him.
Finally, my knees went weak, and I sat down again.
"What happened? Do you not want to see me anymore? A moment ago, you were screaming. You wanted to see me, but now, no reaction. It's not fair," again, the voice spoke up, and this time I was 1000% sure it was him.
I didn't need to see his face. His presence was enough for me to know it's him without looking at his face.
I didn't know how to react, but suddenly a realization hit me hard. What was he doing here? If he was here, there was only one meaning left for me in this situation.
Bracing myself, I stood up from the chair and turned around.
Just as I thought, he was standing at the door entrance wearing a black three-piece suit and looking toward me with his always shameless smile. I found it ridiculously cute in the past, but now I wanted to break his teeth.
Glaring at him, I ask him, "What the hell are you doing here, or I should ask what the fuck I'm doing here?" But, of course, if I could, I might have already broken his head.
Oh, so feisty as always. You didn't change even a bit, Anna," he said, still laughing, ignoring my words like empty air.
"Should I thank you for your compliment?" I asked him. Is he kidding me right now?
"Shouldn't you show a little emotion, Anna? Even a little?" he asked while looking at my eyes like he was searching for something inside my eyes.
But it's too sad for him that he couldn't, because I was not 19 years old, Anna anymore; I buried that Anna in a grave a long time ago.
She would never show up again. However, I would not let that happen at any cost because I already learned my lesson.
Anna's Pov He's searching for something inside my eyes.But it's too bad for him; he couldn't because I was not 19 years old Anna anymore; I bury that Anna in the grave a long time ago.She would never show up again. I would never let that happen. I will not forgive him.I look straight into his eyes to let him know she is not here anymore. Who was stupid and an idiot "Stop looking already. you can't find that foolish girl; she will never come back." I smirked at him. He took a step toward me, and I stood still in my spot without moving even an inch. When he was in front of me, a beatific smile was on his face, which was why I hated him even more at that moment. “Don't worry. She will come back, and you also can't stop her either," he said in a calm tone.; I gritted my teeth; this m
Anna’s Pov So, I just ran without knowing where I was going right now. Finally, after running some time, I reached an empty alley. I looked around, seeing nobody was around; I burst into tears. I pressed my hands over my mouth to stop myself and prevent others from hearing me. I silently let my tears come out; I didn’t want to look weak in front of everyone, especially in front of that devil. I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction he wanted from me. After a while, I stopped myself; I looked up and fanned my teary eyes. I wanted to dry these tears and prevent them from coming out. But I already spent so many tears on this heartless devil. Five long years were enough; he didn’t deserve that, nor would he ever do. Also, I couldn’t believe th
Blaze’s POV I was their boss, and she tarnished my formidable reputation in front of them. She kicked my reputation like a football. I helplessly rubbed my aching forehead; other than that, what could I do? I came out behind the pillar and started walking towards her. She might have felt my presence because she looked back at me. Seeing me, she let out a sigh. I stood in front of her and looked at her helplessly, saying, "Still childish.'' I couldn't even scold her because my heart was against this idea. "So, what if you kidnapped me here? I can do whatever I want," she snorted like an angry child. Her face turned red from anger; her eyes and nose already looked red chili. "Yeah, Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want. Look, you called for me, and I'm here at your service," I said as gently as I could. I didn't want to anger my stubborn queen again. " So what? Should I feel happy and dance in happiness, getting such a
Anna’s POV He slipped it out and I looked at him with an are-you-kidding-me look, and he looked embarrassed knowing that I didn't trust him, and yeah, he broke many promises he once made to me. This man was once the person I loved even more than my own life, but today he was the person I hated the most. I never dreamt that I would meet him after five long years, but life was extraordinary. We didn't know what would happen on the next turn. "Anna, I am sorry, love. I never wanted to break my promise, but I was helpless. Believe me, I didn't break my promise. It was on hold for a little longer. See, you are sitting in front of me, so that means I didn't break my promise." Blaze looked at me and said as if he was the most miserable person in the world. I looked at him and said, "Blaze, I just want my answer. I need nothing more from you," I said, expressionless. I was not that sassy girl anymore. He sighed. "Okay, then ea
Blaze’s POV She coldly laughed, "Give me this back, otherwise send me back, choose one." She wants to deal with this, but it's too sad that both of them were precious to me. "No, love. You're more precious than my own life, but our memory is also important to me. I have only one photo, and I can't let you ruin it, right?" I turned the photo frame towards her. She finally looked at the picture. I saw the surprise all over her face, which I clearly understood. Because she already destroyed all our memories, and everything attached to our love. I knew every detail of things she did after I left her heartbroken. "Are you trying to fool me? I have once loved a bastard," Anna screamed at me—the pain in her eyes was something that I never wanted to see, yet I was the one who caused this pain. I moved my hand to her face and tried to touch her tears, which were flowing out, but she slapped my hand away and wiped her tears
Anna's POV I must be crazy. I didn't know yet. I was already crying while giving some punches to his chest, he silently bore that, but the most shocking part was, I was hugging this bastard. Anna, have you lost your mind? You promised you would never shed drops of tears for this heartless bastard, yet you are hugging this bastard. You are such a double-standard person; Icursed myself for being such a fool. "Let me go." I put my hands down from his waist and tried to get rid of his hands from my abdomen, but this stubborn cow was too much. He even hugged me more tightly, as if he didn't hear my words. "You let me go right now." At first, I was too emotional, so I did not care for anything, but now when he tightened his hug, I felt how hard his body was — like a stone. It was nothing like five years ago. Really, it seemed everything was showing me the reality that my Blaze and this Blaze
*Blaze’s POV I didn’t know which type of madness took over my head. I lost control over my anger and showed the actual character I never wanted to show her. Anna knew me as a gentleman and a calm person, but I never was calm or a gentleman. Even before I took over the leader position of Black Reaper, I was a hot-tempered person and a very possessive type. My possessiveness climbed on a different level and touched the sky after I met Anna. I felt jealous even when she smiled at any other girls at college. I hated when other people tried to be friendly with her. Even my heart knew, the more she would be away from those outsiders, the more she would spend her time with me. I wanted her 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I forgot to count how many nights I spent hanging on her window without her knowing and watched my sleepy Anna. Even her sleeping posture was entirely wrong. I loved every bit of her. My obsession was
Anna’s POV What the hell is wrong with me? What am I doing? I just kissed this bastard back. Was my head not working anymore, or have I gone mad? I just kissed him. Bloody hell! Fuck, Anna! Anna, you are such a two-timer! Just a while ago, I cursed him, yet when he kissed me, I melted away like dust. I was the one who had no shame, yet I called him shameless. But wait a minute, why was I cursing myself? He was the real culprit. How dare he kiss me? Even if I push him away, I end up hugging him like an octopus. “You, Blaze, listen to me. Don’t think too much about this. It was a physical reaction, nothing else. And it was you, who walked away from our relationship. I didn’t, so it was your choice since you never loved me, and this is my choice that I will not marry you.” I further spoke, “Also, what kind of useless desire is this of yours? You never loved me, so why are yo
Epilogue Anna’s POV Five months later, ~~~~. “What are you saying?” I asked Blaze when he tried to do the same thing he did for the last four months. “Stay here, Love. I will be done with it soon. I will entertain you after I’m done with this.” Blaze pouted like a baby. Seriously, I was tired of just sitting in front of him like a doll. I got off the couch and wanted to walk out, but there was no way he would let me go. So after that incident, Lucas took Blaze to the hospital, and we got pretty lucky. The bullet hit on his left side. Nothing that serious. I heard Lucia died and what he had done with Dylan; I didn’t have any idea. I never asked. As for Jack, Blaze sent him to the Frey family. He became like my shadow, especially when he found out he got me pregnant with our first baby. He behaved like he got the moon, and he always reminded me he finally chai
Blaze’s Pov “Blaze, no, you can’t do this,” Lucas tried to stop me. I looked at him. “I can and I will do it because nothing matters to me anymore. Lucia and that fucking bastard killed my brother, threw my sister in front of those beasts, and let them rape her. I will not forgive anyone this time. Yet, they left their egg under my care because they knew their son would be in danger if they kept him on their side.” Lucas lowered his head because he knew even Jack didn’t deserve this. He was their son and his fate, as it's mine. Third person’s POV Lucia threw a bucket of water on Anna’s unconscious body. She jumped from shock as Anna opened her eyes. She was still dizzy, but her mind got quite clearer. “Who are you?” she asked Lucia. She was huffing. They tied her with ropes. “Hi, bitch. We just talked a while ago and you already forgot me, anyway. Hi, I’m Lucia Frey,” Lucia said in a co
Blaze’s POV I felt stuffy in my chest as if something was not right, but I thought it’s because I had to leave Anna. I want to go back and spend my night with my wife. But when the maid came and informed me that Jack was not feeling well, I ran to check on him because he was good when I left him. It might be because of the sea air. He never went out of the city. They kept him inside the Frey’s mansion. Sometimes, I feel bad for this boy. Because of our enemy, he had to live a life no one expected—poor boy. I stroked his hair gently until he finally fell asleep. I was with him the whole time, but it was just for an hour. I left his room after checking on him. I went back to our bedroom, where Anna was sleeping. Finally, I can have a peaceful night with my wife. The room was dark. Anna hates it when someone lights up the room during a deep slumber. I slowly went to bed without switch
Anna’s POV Even though I wanted to fall asleep, falling asleep became a dream for me. After he left like a thief, he didn’t even call me, nor did he even leave a message for me. And now it’s ten at night, yet he was nowhere to be seen. I was about to fall asleep until I heard the chopper's sound and I wanted to run to him, but I held myself back. Anna don't be shameless. He should coax you. Don’t just run to him. It’s not okay for your woman's ego. He tortured you and left you alone, my inner voice scolded me for being shameless. I jumped on the bed and pretended to fall asleep. I already switched off the lights. After a while, I heard the sounds of the door opening. I thought Blaze was going to switch on the lights, but I was wrong. I heard the bed beside me move. I could feel Blaze's breath on my back. “Anna,” he gently called me. I thought he was going to wake me, but Blaze didn’t. He laid beside me and hugged me
Blaze’s Pov But in such a situation, I needed to calm down. Even though I knew they were trying to mess with me, I had to do this for Jack. Even though I said I didn’t care, but I would do anything to save Jack except to give up on Anna. She was not an object that I could give up anytime I wanted. Fucking no., I have already done this sin once. I am not repeating it because I know how much she means to me. As much as I mean to her, she gave up on her life for me, and I can’t put her going through this pain again. I couldn’t even fill these old wounds and he expected me to give her a fresh wound. No fucking way. “I can give you anything except her, so even if you kill a child, I can’t give you Anna. Now it’s up to you, but remember this, if you cross this line of humanity, I will not forgive you anymore. Even if I have to give up on my empire. So, think before saying anything.” I shrugged my shoulders. “Then giv
Blaze’s POV A voice came from behind. Both Lucas and I knew who it was. We didn’t need to look at that bastard's smug face to guess his identity. As we turned, he was standing in front of us with a smirk on his face. “Long time no see, Mr. Blaze Roderick.” His hands were in his pockets as he smirked at us like he owned the world. “So, you are finally willing to come out of your grave. I thought you’re going to hide for life.” I’m not a pushover as he thinks. No matter the situation, I will hunt back if someone steps on my tail. “Huh, do you think you’re in any position to talk to me like this?” he shouted at me. He enlarged his eyes in astonishment when I seized his neck through his shirt collar. “You got my son, but it doesn’t mean I’m your captive, Dylan Bruce. You better give my son back to me while I’m still a good man. If you force me or push me down to the path where I have to forget that Jack is in hand, believe me, that
Anna’s POV I just woke up and felt a truck ran over my body as I tried to move from my position. Damn, this man tried to kill me. He was so rough with me, yet I was the one who was lying on the bed like a corpse. Could I just kill him already? I asked my inner heart. No, you can’t murder your husband. I crawled like a paralyzed person and slumped to the opposite side of the bed. Though the bathroom was closer from that side, I was naked under the thin bed sheet, which I wrapped around myself to hide my body from him after he tried to coax me. I even threatened him. Only then he stopped touching me. I felt like I wanted to call him a bastard all day long. He deserved this title for being so hard on me. He nearly broke my waist. God, why did I even fall for him in the first place to break my waist? My inner voice answered me, Blame yourself for falling in his honey trap. I finally reached the bathroom while cursing that bas
Anna’s POV I should be angry, but I was not. Not for his rough action towards me. I could handle anything as long as it was for me. But he shouldn’t hurt other people around us. It’s too much for me and I don’t want anyone to get hurt because of me. But these feelings had already erased all the worries in my head when his tongue touched me. His possessiveness makes me crazy. I was his biggest obsession, but I loved it. When he became angry about those little things, I felt loved. I loved his possessiveness five years ago and I still love him five years later. It says that I mean a lot to him. I am also a crooked person like him. Therefore, we love each other so much. When his tongue touched mine, I saw stars in the daytime. My body was achy and heavy. I grabbed his hair. My finger tingled with his hair. “Fuck,” I heard his loud groan when I touched his head. But hearing his curse and groan, I wanted to
Anna’s POV My heart was beating faster than I ever could think. No, it would be a lie if I say that I didn’t get the greatest shock of my life when I found out my husband was a mafia leader.. What the heck? He kills people without thinking twice. Why? Why is it necessary for me to have such a life? I just started accepting that I still love him, and now my life isn't complete without him. But fate is crueler than I ever imagined. But after I knew my mom had always known, I felt furious and relieved because I knew I wasn't alone in this mess. She could never blame me for anything that might happen in the future. If not, she looked more like Blaze's mom than mine. I've never seen such a mother-in-law like this in my entire life. Even though I was shocked, my heart seemed to be calmer and more sincere than my spirit. I was not surprised, because after living on the island for a couple of days and seeing those men around me, I
