*****Richard remained sat in the car and watched as the two people exchanged pleasantries. Although he had no business being there, he was unable to convince himself to leave for an unexplainable reason."Is this anything to be concerned about? You can take me along!" Ana said to Jackson in a hurry when he told her he was going home tonight rather than tomorrow morning. He received a phone call from his home informing him that his mother was not feeling well and requested his presence as soon as possible, so he came to meet Ana before departing."No, silly. I know my mother; she had previously used a similar pretext to persuade me to return home," Jackson added with a relaxed face to assure Ana that everything was great."All right, drive carefully and phone me if anything is bothering your family," Ana worriedly remarked and hugged Jackson, massaging his back since she suspected Jackson was not giving the whole truth because he did not want her to be depressed."Definitely! It appea
***"While I go refresh up, give him some lemon tea!" Ana spoke to Sinni, who came every other time to check on Richard in the hall. Richard gazed at Ana and asked, "Why can not I sit in your room instead of here?" "Cough, cough!" Sinni choked up as she heard Richard and gave Ana a wide-eyed look. Her madam had never permitted Sir Jackson to remain in her room; how could this gentleman request to be with madam in her room?"Sitting in my room will result in more frequent looks at you, which will be more bothersome than what you are experiencing," Ana said to Richard, knowing the basis of his dissatisfaction. Then Ana turned to Sinni and said, "Sir values privacy, Sinni. How about you take care of the dishes!" at the end Ana smiled at Sinni who immediately flushed up, understanding the meaning behind her madam's smile. So she whirled around and dashed back to the kitchen.Ana had a grin on her lips and continued, "Drink the tea slowly; you will feel better. I will be back shortly!"
****"I just recalled something.. Hmmm! The flowers are lovely," Richard murmured as he reached the sofa and slumped down next to Ana, who could not help but wrinkle her brow since she could sense the message behind his smile was different. "You are insulting Jackson's present to me, but let me tell you, I like lilies. Giving an expensive present is not always the most loving thing to do for a lady, at least not to me," Ana mumbled, casting an indignant glance at Richard, who nearly burst out laughing as if he had heard the best joke of his life.Richard moved his gaze to Ana, giving her a compassionate look; the wrinkles around his eyes softened as he retracted his grin, "Do you truly like them?" His silky voice sounded naturally soothing."Hmm," Ana mumbled, peering into his eyes, and she felt pulled to his face; his calm expression soothed her tiredness as she observed his hand move closer to her. "Why do I feel like you are alone, like you are lost in a throng, waiting for someo
*****"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
