*****"Emilia, to the best of my memory, you were never forced. You have plenty of time to think about your decision—we are not married yet—and I will not stand in your way. It is still up to you to decide what makes you happy. Do not let your dreams die," Richard stated gently, knowing how much Emilia was putting into this relationship to make it function like a regular one.Unfortunately, Richard was unable to feel that way about Emilia, which caused him to feel burdened by her feelings. At that point, all Richard wanted was for Emilia to be happy, which he was unable to provide."I know he is concealing something; argh! A true shameless man. He has a fiancé with whom he is planning a wedding, and here this man is attempting to impress my madam. Not at all; I will not let that happen!" Sinni said with determination before stepping away from the wall.*Sobbing!Emilia burst into tears because this was the only thing she did not want to hear from Richard, but every time she told him ab
**** "Madam, use caution around this man. Though he has appeal, he is a skilled deceiver," Sinni stated, taking the plate from the table before looking at Ana. Earlier, she grew concerned when she heard a loud shriek from the wooden chair as if it had been pushed violently. By the time she arrived in the dining room, the man had rushed out, his face etched with rage.That is why she reasoned that before his madam became further entangled in this man's trap, she needed to convince madam that the route she was taking was completely terrible."I will be careful if I ever become emotionally involved with someone, and let me assure you that I have no relationship with this man. It is not what you are thinking," Ana said calmly, leaving the seat after finishing her supper. "I can finally breathe comfortably. Ooof! The man has been talking to his fiancée on the phone and acting casually; he even instructed her to back off as though he was not concerned about their relationship collapsing,”
*****"Worry!? What is worrying you!?" Richard asked in a serious tone, as Emilia's countenance indicated fear."Ana!" With a deep breath, Emilia said Ana's name. She was hesitant to talk to Richard about her anxiety, but for some reason, she sensed that he was listening to her tonight, so she used the opportunity to let her heart open. She was also curious about Richard's feelings toward Ana."What did she do?" Richard questioned, lifting his brow and straightening his spine."She has not done anything!" Emilia responded in a nonspecific manner since she was still wondering how to convey this to him."Well, the sooner you complete the matter, the more time will be saved for both of us, so please finish your words or you can skip telling me," Richard offered two convenient ways for Emilia to choose. Although Richard was not expecting to hear Emilia's name, it pushed him to reflect on how Ana had become Emilia's worry.She had a crooked frown and a puckered forehead, indicating her unce
*****Fearing for Ana's life, Richard sped up and drove the vehicle directly to her apartment, without even worrying about the traffic. He was issued a threat to the restaurant, which indicated that someone was keeping an eye on them. Perhaps Ana's life was in jeopardy."Shit!" Like a powerful flood threatening to topple the dam, he was eager and only wanted to get to her as quickly as possible. Because of this quandary, he was unable to consider phoning Ana, nor did he think that by calling George, he would learn whether anything unusual was taking place at Ana's apartment.When his car was turned onto another road, there was a loud screeching sound against the road, and Richard, not caring at all, increased the speed further.On the other hand, Ana was having problems falling asleep since she believed that her life would not be easy in the future because Marx had resumed monitoring her every move and had not taken long to obtain her mobile number.She sat up, let out a breath, and t
*****They were both startled into silence and stopped in their position, unable to determine how to reply. Richard could feel her delicate body in his arms, and the silky skin beneath his hand made him want to caress it. His pulse throbbed like a wildling bongo as his face was attracted to kiss her nape. His entire body was fighting to keep control of the foreboding energy, while his mind had already spiraled into chaos."Ana, your motion is daring, and your skin against my hand is provocative. I cannot think anything but to feel you, and that is not because I was looking for, rather you have given me a reason to feel this way!" The back of Ana's neck hair sprang up as Richard spoke against her nape, his voice pulling at her bones. "Stop saying such ridiculous stuff!" Ana muttered and pushed his face away from her as she moved on him to get off of his lap. Just then, his brazen hand tightened around her waist with the pull that came next, forcing her to knock against his chest. T
*****"I may file charges against you for causing me malicious injury. This on my shoulder does not look like self-defence; rather, it appears like you are conscious of what you are doing!" Richard threatened Ana, showing her a clear view of the bite mark on his shoulder, which had grown red and rather deep; luckily, no blood had come out of it."You are ridiculous, and everything you say is ridiculous too. How dare you kiss me in my house!" Ana yelled, clamping her teeth, her demeanour impatient because she could not comprehend how such a thing had taken place. He literally took advantage of her.Richard said naively, "You are proposing to me that we may kiss again somewhere else," but as he flung the shirt on the ground, a strong hint of cunning flickered in his eyes."You!" her eyes shot anger as she added, "I am not going to let you leave the house with your life." Ana took a pen off the table adjacent to the book she had previously flung at him, and she intended to stab his eyes w
****"You know, some individuals cannot acquire the talent of lying, and you regrettably fall into such a category," Richard muttered, abandoning Ana as he made his way to the couch and slumped on it.Just that moment, Sky approached Richard to sniff, and he immediately began wiggling his tail, which Ana disliked because, according to her, Sky should have barked at Richard, scared him with his teeth, and bit him, all of which Ana preferred, but the boy shamelessly wagged his tail in front of Richard.Richard stretched his hand to stroke Sky's face. "And I feel as though I do not care what you think!" Ana snarled as she stepped down from the table. "You were never kissed before, and I can guarantee that," Richard declared, staring at Ana who froze for a second since his declaration struck on the exact truth Ana had no thought of allowing him to discover, yet he felt it. "Thinking too much leads to confusion, I can see it! Besides, I do not want to waste my time trying to change your
****"You arrive late!" Ana murmured to George, giving him an unsatisfied expression."My feelings are the same as yours, Miss Ana. I, too, thought I should have arrived earlier," George remarked, shaking his head, wondering why he had not taken his boss from here sooner. Everything he had feared had become a reality, and he could no longer predict where his boss' actions would take him.Ana finished the rest of the distance to Richard and placed the dish in front of him on the table."Medicine!" Richard looked at Ana and said in a satisfactory tone. He was able to persuade her to do what he ask."Sure!" Ana gave Richard a tight-lipped smile before heading to her room with Sky following closely behind. It was evident that Sky sensed something was amiss with Ana, thus it would be best for him to go with his mother."This is what I have been afraid of. Perpetually I have given you many hints, but you just chose to go with your unsure emotion without thinking about your future or Emilia's
