“If Adam had asked you to have an abortion, would you have done it?” “No. I already loved the child. How far along are you in your pregnancy?” “Eight weeks. I love the child, but I love Adam, too. I love my parents. I'm very confused. I don't want to lose either of them.” “Emanuelle... make a decision after you've heard Adonis' opinion. That way, there'll be no room for regret, whatever you want to do.” “I'll sound out Adonis. I can't risk telling him about this child and him forcing me to do something I don't want to do. Depending on his response, I'll know if this child is welcome, and then I'll choose. It won't be an easy choice, but a necessary one.” Anna stood up, brushing the sand from her clothes, and Emanuelle followed her. They walked to the edge of the beach, and Anna called them to leave. There was a proposal she had to make to Adam, even though he knew he wouldn't have to change anything to have her in his bed. Anna reproached herself for not being able to re
Ian was delighted with his grandfather's visit and began to tell him all about what had happened that day. Unlike Adam, he believed that his late wife was trying to communicate with her loved ones and Ian, apart from his background, was a sensitive child and was more receptive to spiritual things than the adults, who were naturally skeptical. Anna knew she had to be quick, so as not to arouse anyone's suspicions. She left, but first, to make sure, she opened the door to Adam's room and took out the key, locking it from the outside and taking the key with her. If he found out, she would know when she arrived and saw the door had been broken down. Max embraced her and when their lips met, his hands began to touch her whole body, eagerly, urgently. But Anna reluctantly pulled away from him. “I've started taking the medication, Max.” “It doesn't matter, Anna. I feel like you don't have the infection anymore... You talked about it with Adam, right?” Anna frowned. “Yes.”
Anna was beginning to wonder how Henry knew where Sarah's captivity was, when she remembered that Adonis was his ally in that house. She finished making the pasta, set the table for five, and went to her room to shower and change. At dinner time, Anna was deep in thought and didn't even notice that everyone was complimenting her on the delicious meal. Even Ian was excited and ate a lot. They chatted among themselves, and Kate didn't allow her grief to enter the subject, so as not to give a bitter taste to the meal that Anna had made with dedication. Adam noticed that his beloved wife's thoughts were far away, and yet he was so aroused that he found it hard to stop himself from grabbing her by the arm and taking her to his bed at that moment. Despite everything she'd said about making a deal or pleasuring herself, he knew she wouldn't be able to resist for long. He would wait for her to finish that drama, and then he would make a deal with her. After fucking her for a whole n
“I need to ask you a question... Now I realize you've lost your teeth too... What a catastrophe...” “You haven't lost your black sense of humor.” “I realized that my daughter didn't get much out of you. Don't take it personally. She's only a little girl and has no experience of such things... She didn't even know how to pull out her nails and teeth in such a way that the pain was unbearable... She still has a lot of compassion in her. You should have made her more cruel, Sarah. You know that's important.” Anna looked at him puzzled. Had he witnessed the torture? To what extent were he and Adam together? Or had Adonis given him the recordings? She didn't believe that Max sneaking into the mansion was part of any agreement the two of them had made. So, in a way, Adam knew about the connection between Adonis and his father? He shook his head and went back to concentrating on the psychological torture his father was applying to Sarah. He didn't want to miss a word she said. It
“Stop it, Anna.” Henry said disappointedly. “Do you believe what that woman tells you? Thiago was her son with a werewolf. I'll talk about this story with you another time. I did order you to kill her without him, but it was after she had killed his mother. I had to get revenge somehow. I wanted her to suffer. You must remember him. He was always around.” “Yes. I remember that he looked a lot like you.” “That doesn't make us related, Anna. People look like other people.” Anna believed Henry, because his story made so much more sense. And also because she loved him. She didn't want to be forced to hate him. “How do you know that Sarah doesn't know about the diary?” “Believe me, my child, I can read her every expression and gesture. In time, in this life I lead, this knowledge could be the difference between living or dying.” “But only trusted people enter that mansion. I don't think anyone else has done that.” “But he did. And Sarah knows who did it.” “So why don't you u
Anna's father looked at her with pride in his eyes. “Keep thinking that, daughter. It's taken too long. You'll find the truth.” They stood there, watching Sarah being walled up, as she begged for mercy. She asked for forgiveness and wished Anna would shoot her in the head. When the last brick was left to be laid, and she disappeared inside, she screamed; “Jenna! It was Jenna!” Her voice came out muffled because of the cubicle, but they understood perfectly what she had said. Anna turned in surprise to her father. His countenance turned grim. Anna had to warn Jenna. She didn't know why she would steal the diary, but she didn't want to see her tortured by her father. She knew he didn't really love Jenna. He wouldn't think twice about hurting her. She even thought that at that moment, in those few seconds, he had already planned everything he was going to do to her. “She's lying, Daddy. Just like she lied about you being Thiago's father and...” Anna said to see his reactio
“It used to be. She didn't tell me because she doesn't want me to abandon her.” “Would you abandon Jenna if you knew where Mom was buried?” “Immediately.” “Dad, but that's awful.” “She knows I only married her because she gave me hope that one day she would tell me.” “Daddy, Jenna really loves you. Of course she'll hide where she buried Mom's body, since she knows you're only with her because of that.” “She's sick, Anna. That's not love. When you love someone, you want to see them happy. And not hold them back for selfish reasons.” “You seem so happy when you're together that I never imagined you were going through a drama.” “She's not bad company, and I didn't say I'm unhappy with her... Perhaps if she had revealed herself to me and not blackmailed me, I might have fallen in love with her. But when you believe you're under an obligation, that feeling nullifies the chances of love being born.” “I fell in love with Adam, even though I was held captive in his hou
Adonis smiled. “The Alpha? Ah, Anna... The boss wanted to kill her himself, for hiding the existence of his son from him.” Anna felt the tears welling up again. Adonis was right. Her father wouldn't spare Jenna without the intervention of someone like Adam, and when Adam found out everything, he was likely to celebrate, and even participate in Jenna's death. Although her father had said he wouldn't give her a slow death, he might not be able to resist. She was afraid of what her father would do to Jenna. He didn't know why she had hidden the diary, nor did he understand why she had lied about it being stolen. But that didn't matter. She was his friend. She stood by her and kept her secret, even though she knew it could cost her her life. She deserved Anna to do everything in her power to try and save her. And even at the risk of Adam refusing, she would ask him for help. But first, she had to eliminate all other resources. “Adonis, can you bypass Henry's security and get Jenna
