Chapter 15
No, she was simply being imaginative about it! It was just a dream. Taking the remote control for the television in her hand, she navigated to the History Channel and did her best to pay attention to the fascinating documentary that was playing on the screen.
She gave up after 10 minutes and began to aimlessly roam about the room, caressing her cherished keepsakes while continuing to have apprehension. What she needed was first a soothing bath, and then sleep. At five in the morning on the next day, it was her responsibility to go to the flower market.
One hour later, she tried to sleep again on the bed that she and Allen had shared, but she was unable to do so. She became restless and eventually rolled over onto her back, where she stared blankly at the ceiling. She was lying flat. When she moved a finger to her lips, which were slightly swollen, the memory of David’s kiss came to her mind, much to her embarrassment. Her mind was raci

Anna hobbled into the landscaping shop while lugging the final box of plants from the trunk of her car. When she finally set the box down inside the shop, she let out a sigh of relief. Even though she enjoyed going to the flower market and picking out different varieties of flowers, she did not mind getting up at the crack of morning. Anna congratulated herself on a job well done before making her way to a bench equipped with two sinks, a kettle, and some much-needed coffee.Because she had only had a few hours of sleep the night before, she had little trouble getting started this morning, but it was starting to catch up to her now. It was a blessing that she was able to sit down at the desk and take a revitalizing sip of coffee. In the bright daylight, everything had a considerably more favorable appearance. She had her own company, her friends, her own house, and a tiny garden. After a terrible weekend, she was back to normal, and David Miller was no longer a

"Good morning, Anna," someone said.She stutteringly greeted him with "G...G... Good morning" and simply stood there staring as he approached her. His attire consisted of a charcoal-gray fitted business suit, a white shirt, and a blue tie. Even though he had grown his hair out since the last time she had seen him, he was still the same darkly attractive and haughty man she recalled. She sincerely hoped that she hadn't.He grinned and remarked, "It's a pleasure to meet you again," which he stated in a smooth tone.When she looked up, he met her gaze with eyes that did not exhibit the slightest sign of humor; rather, they displayed a ruthless focus that triggered an alarm in her mind. She quickly averted her gaze. Her self-assurance took a fall, and she had the distinct impression that David posed a threat to her mental well-being.Anna sent an anxious glance in the direction of her father, but he was fixated on his coffee cup as

'Jail!' She stared at her father in complete disbelief, fully anticipating that he would refute David's ridiculous remark. She pleaded with him to dispel the notion that it was even conceivable.Her father mumbled an apology before rising to his feet and leaving the room. He was no longer the energetic guy with blue eyes that she adored; rather, he was a weary old man who looked every one of his sixty years plus ten more years than he was. His shoulders were sagged, his eyes were dim, and his face was pale and weathered. She was aware that David was being honest with her. Her father lowered his arm and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, and she instinctively reached up to cover it with her own.He was exhausted when he remarked to Anna, "I never meant for this to happen.""If it's okay with you, I won't go to lunch with you," her father said weakly. Take David with you instead; he will be able to explain what has occurred far better than I c

Because of this, half an hour later, Anna was in David's Los Angeles apartment. She was sitting on a black hide sofa with a glass of white wine in her hand and watching in disbelief as David placed a variety of cartons on the coffee table and whipped off the lids of the containers. It wasn't until they had driven away from Hollywood Boulevard that he placed the order on the food app, and it was only then that she realized she had made yet another mistake.He spoke to her in a monotone voice, saying, "I hope you like Japanese food" as he handed her a bowl and a pair of chopsticks. She accepted the bowl, too astonished to do anything else, and when he forked some rice and salt-and-pepper prawns into it, she found herself eating a couple of them. She had taken the dish because she was too stunned to do anything else.However, even though her nerves were on edge, she turned down all of his offers of more. Instead, she focused her attention on observing the flat through the

Her initial assumption was that the man had lost all semblance of sanity, but once she caught a glimpse of the steely resolve reflected in the depths of his eyes, she began to have second thoughts."We can announce our engagement at the birthday party for your father tonight."Due to the ridiculous nature of his offer, Anna was jolted out of the cloud of sadness that had been threatening to devour her. She chuckled to herself internally as she pictured Annet's expression. "Are you out of your mind?", she cried out in shock. "For heaven's sake, you're my sister's boyfriend," Anna said, and all of a sudden, she had the bright idea that would solve the issue entirely. "Instead of asking me, you ought to address your inquiry to her." I do not doubt that she will seize the opportunity.His fingers became firmer on her chin as he continued to say, " Annet is nothing more than an old acquaintance." "I swear I have never known her in the sexual sense—as I have you

'No. She hurriedly stepped back, creating some distance between them, while firmly pushing against his chest and saying, "No." David was trying to coerce her into getting married, even though for a little while he had almost succeeded in seducing her with his proposition and the embarrassing longing to feel his mouth on hers and to experience again the heat of his kiss. Was her sanity in danger? David shrugged his large shoulders and muttered, "Pity." "I fear that your father will be more disappointed than Bryan will be," you said about the two elderly men. In an instant of piercing insight, Anna was able to see everything. "Oh my God, you're right!" I said, my chocolate eyes glaring aggressively into his face as I did so. "I thought your grandfather was such a sweet old man, and yet you must have decided between you to ruin my father simply to get the house in Jeju Island—or at least make sure your child did." She accused him angrily, "I can easily believe that you

Anna felt that the word our child had a certain allure that could not be ignored. She reasoned with herself that even if she married David, she would not be betraying the love that she felt for Allen because there would be no love involved in her relationship with David. She believed this to be true. Simple negotiations resulted in a deal that would spare her father's life and bring her the baby she had longed for. "Anna, did you just give me a yes or a no?" Have we reached an agreement? David inquired, and while he was doing so, he tipped her chin with one long finger and said, 'You know that makes sense.' His voice was suddenly velvety deep and intensely black. "Marry me and have my child," He said to her. Her abdominal muscles tensed up from the stress. She became hesitant as the sensation of his finger on her chin resembled the burning of a branding iron. David had previously explained to her that one must occasionally pick the option that is the "lesser of two evils," and after

"Dark chocolate eyes locked with hers, and fear crept down her spine as a feather. What was she thinking when she said yes to David's proposal of marriage? "What are other people going to think? My Step mother, Jeanne, and all of their close friends are not going to believe that we will get married in a flash, and how about Annet!' They will, that is correct. Because I just got off the phone with your dad an hour ago. The answer is yes; one must have an engagement ring to fulfill the initial requirement of the customs that surround a marriage. As long as you follow my lead and don't say anything, everyone else, including the world at large, will think it's a normal marriage, even though you and I both know it's a business transaction. She cast one last contemplative glance at the glistening gem and recalled the last time a guy had put a ring on her finger out of real love—his beloved Allen in the past. Now, it seemed to make fun of all that she had ever believed in, and it made her w
