Chapter 3

David Miller had never done anything like that before, and he didn't enjoy the experience in the least. Indeed though he wasn't happy to recognize the seductive Anna with Annet hanging on his arm, he wasn't prepared to allow the promiscuous little vixen get away with ignoring him. Brown eyes had glanced coolly in his direction and also back to Bryan, and he didn't like that at all.

" Hello. Anna, are you there?" David grunted in a grueling manner. She cast a quick look in his direction, her chocolate eyes hidden by the absurdly long lashes that framed her deep brown eyes.' Yes. Hello,' she said, before fleetly turning her head down again.

Permit me to say this because we haven't been duly introduced to one another. The name is David Miller. He was dead set on drawing her attention to himself, so he purposefully extended his hand to her in an attempt to do so. A stern look emanating from her eyes, followed by the extension of a delicate hand.

After taking it in his hands and feeling the smoothness of her skin on his palm, he immediately came aware of a fluttering sensation in his loins. Ever since the last time he'd encountered Anna — no, Hana — or whatever the hell it was that she called herself, he'd noway been so presently aroused by a woman as he was by Hana.

When he looked down at their hands that were gripped together, he was nearly startled, but also he noticed the marriage band and flashed back in the nick of time. He avoided having sexual relations with wedded women, but an exception to this rule was made in the case of this attractive seductress, who didn't reveal her marital status to him until after he'd already taken her to bed.

Anna was numb with amazement when she noticed the challenge in his look and the knowing hint of sensuality in his brown eyes. She also heard the enticing tone of his words. She precipitously removed her hand from his clutches as her shock began to set in.

She said" Anna Gonzales" under her breath. Annet made her entrance nearly exactly when she was supposed to.

"Anna, I have a favor to ask of you. Would you please take care of David 's grandfather for me?" She stated it with the same typical lack of empathy that has come her trademark.

"He was in an accident a many days ago, and he can not walk very well."" We need to circulate, and James wants to discuss business with David later." Whether Annet was insensitive or not, she had the occasion to give Annet a kiss for the interruption.

"There's no difficulty. It'll be my joy,' Anna said as she held Bryan by the hand. Annet seized David by the arm, and the pair started making their way through the mob toward the exit. Anna let out a jiggling shriek of relief, even though she was shaking on the inside. Imagine your darkest agonies coming true!

David Miller enthralled, a spot near or at the very peak of her priority list. She couldn't believe that he was related to Bryan since Bryan was short and heavyset and had black eyes. But David had to be at least six feet four inches tall, and his eyes were light brown, which was a striking contrast to his tan complexion. She was astounded by this fact. When they first met a year ago, the first thing she noticed about him was his eyes.

They were one of the reasons she had behaved in a manner that was so drastically different from whom she typically was. That he showed up then at her father's house as the lover of her sister had to be the strangest coincidence in the history of the world. It made her feel queasy, and she really wanted to get away from there. She was ready to give some kind of justification to Bryan when she looked around and noticed that he was still looking after Annet.

His face was a picture of complete and total surprise the entire time. Anna had a perfect understanding of how he felt, but she was confident that it was not for the same reason. She said," Annet is very beautiful, and she does have a tendency to have an unanticipated effect on men, but I suppose your grandson can handle her," which was meant to be encouraging.

" And they do make a nice couple," she said. After mumbling something incomprehensible, he brought his hand up to his lips and immediately started sneezing violently. It was too soon to consider leaving just yet because it was clear that the man was in some kind of trouble.

" Bryan, you do not look very good."  Anna put her arm around him and made the following suggestion.

" I believe that we ought to find nearly comfortable to sit, and I will get you a glass of champagne." She made a delicate attempt at humor by saying," also you can tell me all about your accident and what I suggested for last Friday."

"Clearly," he said while maintaining a nervous smile." But first, would you be able to give me the name of the woman who's holding my grandson?" Bryan refocused his silver- topped cane in their way while making a stir. Anna told him," That is my stepsister — Annet," as she eventually spotted an empty lounge and guided him towards the far corner of the magnific drawing room.

Annet was the name of Anna's sister. She sensed that he was stumbling." Hello there, how are you doing?" She inquired cautiously as she supported him in taking a seat. She regarded his wrinkled face with concerned eyes as she remarked," You look a little pale."

"So, your stepsister, is that right? I had no idea you had a sister until today."

"Well, you do not indeed know me very well,"Anna joked.

" I suppose I need that drink," Bryan rasped as he sat down on the lounge.

He also grunted in Korean something that Anna thought sounded suspiciously like a curse.

" I suppose I need that drink," he said again.

"If you'd be willing to stay then. I will fetch you a brandy and bring it back."

She felt compassion for the man, who was obviously still experiencing some kind of discomfort. While this was going on, David had his hand on Annet's back and was leading her through the crowd with him. He beamed, and he never stopped smiling for the entire proper spots, as Annet collected effusive birthday wishes from her friends. They made their way towards her mama and father who were seated at the other end of the room from where they had entered. Without any conscious effort, David was suitable to play the part of the ideal consort, and his mind was always concentrated on the gorgeous Anna.
