LATER THAT DAY.As they sat on the couch Dylan wondered what he was doing. Why would he think it would be good for him and Anna to be friends?They were both in different worlds. Just the look on Anna's face he could see that she regretted what she had done.She sank into her chair and hugged herself tight and let off a sigh of exhaustion.He wanted to ask her what was wrong so badly but he couldn't. She never looked like someone who wanted to share her problems with him so he wouldn't force them out of her.He sat there as he watched her as she watched the show and no matter how funny the joke was there was no smile or laugh from her."How was your day ?", he asked her and she was startled as she turned to look at him."It was terrible ", she said as she threw her head back dramatically."Care to share ?", he asked her and she seemed to contemplate if you tell him or not."Well I signed up for college today so I had to go to school to sort out some issue ", she said as she turned her
As Raul drove Anna home he didn't ask her whose house she had been at. From the outfit that she was wearing, she knew it was a guy.He couldn't understand the relationship she had with her husband and how it was easy for them to go around sleeping with other people.He had never judged her before but all she had been doing recently were things that he hated. If she was tired of the marriage all she needed to do was ask for a divorce.It couldn't be that hard right?She didn't say a word to him as she exited the car and entered the house. She want like that normally but he figured she was stressed out.The other workers had been talking. Their marriage was ending and neither of them wanted to let go.All they knew was what Anna let them know. They didn't know what Vincenzo did to her to make her act the way she was doing.To them, it didn't matter what she was doing all they cared about was if they approved of it. It was like she was doing a trial and none of them cared what the relati
As she slept in his arms a smile was on her lips. She did not care how much she had cried already all she knew was that she was safe in his arms.She couldn't remember the last time she had a good birthday. All her years in the orphanage were bad. She could remember being bullied and wondered what she had done wrongShe couldn't stop the tears that started flowing down her face. She stood out soaking Vincenzo's shirt but he did not care he just kept caressing her face hoping the pain would go away.That was not how it worked with pain though the scars always remained."Are you okay ?", he asked as he pulled Anna close to her."I don't know ", she said as she snuggled him.How could she tell him that this was the best birthday she had in l the years that she had been alive? How could she tell him that he was the only person who had bothered to remember that it was her birthday?It had never bothered her before that she didn't have friends. She had been okay having no one but now it was
Breakfast was bleak as non of them wanted to ruin what they had. Vincenzo was focused on his paper and Anna was busy with her iPad going through her school timetable.She had not thought of how it was going to be with her going to school and working at the same time. Vincenzo had told her to just quit but she wasn't going to do that.She could handle both of them she just needed to push herself.He wanted to talk to her about the baby but he didn't know how the conversation would end. It had ended pretty badly the day before and he did not want a repetition of it again.As they say there in silence they were both in deep thought but only one of them was thinking of the other It's like suddenly Anna had found something else to obsess over and she was forgetting that Vincenzo even existed."Are you enjoying your breakfast ?", he asked her and she looked up.She wanted to laugh and tell him that he was trying too much. She couldn't tell him that though so she answered with a smile on he
For the first time, she didn't cry as she walked away from him.She didn't crave his attention. She didn't want to be held in his arms as she cried because of him. She was better than that.She kept hurting herself over and over again and went in blaming him for her mistakes. If she had read the contract and toon it seriously they would never be in the place that they were.The footsteps she heard behind her proved to her that she was not done. The only difference was that she was not expecting him to tell her how she loved her.She did not want to hear that from him. All she wanted from him was respect because no matter what they felt towards each other she was still his wife at the end of the day."Am driving you to work ", he said and she didn't object she just walked to his car and entered the passenger seat, and waited for him to enter the car.The silence didn't last that long before he started speaking."Am so sorry I hurt you it was not my intention. I know how you feel about
As she went to the elevator it was then it hit her. She had lied to him again.Her heart had melted the moment he had said that he wanted her. She had felt that finally, he was going to love her right.That was not what he had said though. He had told her that she was the most amazing person yet he couldn't love her the way that she wanted to be loved.She had wanted to tell him that he was being selfish by telling her that. He was being selfish by expecting her to wait around till he learned how to love her the way she wanted.There was a time when if he had told her though he would have jumped in excitement and told him how she would wait forever if need be.She did not feel that so even if her heart still craved him she had started to love herself a little.He didn't deserve her at all and she knew that but somehow still kept him around. She was so disappointed in herself all over again but it was all done with."Are you okay ?", he asked her.She had forgotten for a second that th
The opening of the door startled Vincenzo as he looked up to see it was Anna .age glanced at the couch in his office where Briana was sleeping and Anna's eyes followed too.She didn't say a word to him she just went to where Briana was sleeping and woke her up.He didn't know what was going on. He wanted to just let her sleep but it seemed she was beside herself given how angry she looked.He possibly couldn't have done something that wrong again when the elevator ride had been smooth."What is wrong with you ?", Briana asked the moment she opened her eyes and found it it was Anna who was waking her up."What is wrong with me? I would honestly like to know what is wrong with you because it's always something new you're pulling with me and I have heard enough of it ", said Anna as she started pacing around the room.It caught Vincenzo's attention because she was not a person who was quick to anger and seeing Briana wouldn't have made her that mad."Can you please calm your wife, she go
As she left his office her hands were shaking. The anger was rising and she needed to calm down.She went to the washroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She could see the anger subsiding from her eyes as she tried to collect herself.She tried smiling but it looked like it was forced. The door of one of the stalls opened and she realized who it was. It was the woman who had sat with her on the floor when she had a panic attack.The woman recognized her and smiled at her."Did it happen again ?", she asked still smiling."Yeah it did, we must stop meeting like this ", Anna said as she chuckled."I never see you around though and I understand the people here can make you lose your mind ", she said as she lined against the mirror."Well am Anna, what's your name ?", Anna asked her and she felt stupid for asking that.She had never had a friend before so she didn't know how this worked out."Am Maggy I work down at finance ", Maggy said as she smiled at Anna."Well I work as the bos
