She walked back to the department nervously, all the way trying to remember what she had done under the surveillance camera since she was hired by the Marwood Group.Everything seemed fine until Tommy kissed her. She did not want to, and Tommy did not seem to be actually interested in her either, but she knew what it would look like from others' perspective.She proceeded to work distractedly, glancing at her phone from time to time, wondering if she would be so unlucky for Anthony to witness what had happened earlier.Anthony was far too busy to remain in front of his computer all the time, so he might have someone else stationed, he had only wanted her to feel what it was like to be a homewrecker, but he never mentioned anything about not allowing her to kiss another man.However, considering what happened with Lucas before...Anne felt increasingly agitated and anxious."Ms. Vallois, come in for a moment." Xander sat on his chair, playing with his pen with one hand and holding
Anne buried face into Anthony's chest, fearing that someone would see her.Both Damian and Xander tensed outside the door as soon as it opened, the two remained quiet until Anthony ignored them and left with Anne in his arms."What's going on?" Damian asked, "He's so dramatic!""I don't really know," Xander said. He was shocked as well, as he had never seen Anthony so angry.Anne was sent back to her apartment.The Rolls Loyce stopped outside the building and just when Anne was about to take the jacket off, Anthony said, "keep it on, or do you enjoy showing your skin?"Anne gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain quiet, all the while thinking to herself, 'And who exactly was the one who made me this way?'She adjusted the jacket and got out. She walked past Anthony gingerly, not wanting to be hurt again.Anthony stared at her like an eagle at its prey, before grabbing her wrist abruptly and pulling her against him."Ah!" She exclaimed."Let me check if you are clean...
Tommy already knew who was calling judging from the look on her face. With no intention to walk away, he asked, "Are you going to answer that?"Anne could not understand why Anthony had called her, considering the fact that he had just sent her home earlier that afternoon.'What else does he want?'Her heart threatened to jump out of her chest as she wondered if he was already on the fifth floor and was calling because he could not find her."Why are you so frightened? He's going to get suspicious any time now if you don't pick up," he reminded.She shot him a cold glare and turned to walk into her room, but Tommy grabbed her by her sleeve."Answer it right here."Frustrated, she shoved his hand off. "Enough, Tommy."The next instant, Tommy snatched the phone from her hand and answered it on speaker phone.Anne held her breath."Where are you?" Anthony asked impatiently."...At my apartment." She tried her best to sound normal."Why did it take so long for you to answer the
Anne did not want to leave, but she had no choice or freedom in front of Anthony.After saying goodbye to the children, she returned to the fifth floor.Though she had checked Anthony's location ahead of time, she still slowed down and started tip-toeing when she reached the corner of the stairwell.She inserted the key into the door and walked into the living room in relief, but soon noticed the jacket on the ground that she had stomped on multiple times.She paled and hurried over to pick it up, shaking the dust off of it, but it did not help with the wrinkles or the footprints on it.The clothes that Anthony was seen wearing had always been wrinkle-free and now, it was simply hard to look at.Anne checked the time and knew that she needed to restore the jacket to what it looked like, or Anthony would realize what she had done to it with one simple look.What she did to the jacket was a direct insult toward Anthony and Anne did not want cause herself any more trouble.She wen
She had not expected a piece of clothing to cost 135 thousand.She subconsciously glanced at his trousers, shoes and the watch around his wrist, and realized that everything he owned cost a fortune.She could not possibly pay him back, but neither did she know how to take back her words. It was still an insanely high amount for her to pay off even if she was to pay her debt in installments.Anne would much rather use that money on her children.The triplets needed formula and diapers, and she could not raise her children when she was in such a debt."I...I have no money.""Then pay me back in another way," he said.She shot him a confused look. "What way?""What do you think?"Anne pursed her lips at the intention hidden within his eyes."Make your choice." Anthony appeared to be giving her a choice, when there was nothing to choose from to begin with.She could never pay him 135 thousand, but neither did she want to give Anthony the permission to abuse her, when she did not
"Go eat." Anthony let go of her and turned to go to the bathroom.Anne was stunned. He agreed?The aura emanating from his whole body was almost certain.She thought that Anthony would ignore it, so she was a little surprised.However, she was not even a bit grateful to him.Such a result was just only a tactic to delay the torture, and it did not mean that she had escaped the disaster.The house was not as big as the Royal Mansion, and the dining table was not even one-third of the table in Royal Mansion. The food was even not in league to compare.In Anthony's eyes, her food here might be just as similar as the food of roadside stalls!However, he insisted to eat over here. What was in his mind, anyway?Anne saw that Anthony finished eating a bowl of rice and pushed it away."You want another bowl?" Anne asked.Anthony looked at her with dark eyes, "You gave Tommy the key."It was not a question.Anne knew that he must have seen everything in the surveillance camera.Th
Anne decided to not make the call.She inevitably had an ostrich mentality, and hoped that Anthony would just forget about it.Although she thought so, she made an extra portion while she was preparing dinner.It was best that he does not come, but if he does, at least he would not trouble her.When Anthony was concerned, she had to think everything through before making any decision.She was really afraid of Anthony's crazy behavior.After going back to work, no matter how hard the colleagues pretend, their eyes had a prying hint when they looked at her.They must be wondering why she could still go to work after she had provoked Anthony. It was as if nothing had happened.No one would think that she and Anthony would have the kind of intimate relationship between a man and a woman.That scene was too violent.Besides, in the eyes of her colleagues, she was Tommy's girlfriend, so how could she have such intense interaction with Tommy's brother?They found that it was unbeli
"…It's not it," Anne answered. She heard Anthony snort inexplicably. His voice was deep and hoarse, as sexy as a magnet.Turning around, her back was pressed against the hard wall.She slowly opened her eyes and met Anthony's predatory black eyes, causing her body and heart to tremble.Right after waking up, Anne looked innocent and cute. Her face was extremely fair, like a newborn.Anthony's black eyes deepened, and the dangerous aura intensified."I don’t see your initiatives." Anthony's voice was hoarse.Anne's fingers that were on his broad shoulders trembled slightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck tighter and leaned in closer. She whispered just inches away from his lips, "I know…"After speaking, her lips grazed his softly.Anthony was not satisfied with this.However, his body was set on fire.Anne's white fingers hooked the knot on the tie around his neck, tugging it to loosen the restrain on his neck.At that moment, she really wanted to bite off his neck.W
