THIRD POV. EARLIER THAT DAY.As he stood up from his chair he looked disheveled. His shoulders slumped in defeat, he looked tired.He hadn't gotten any sleep as he had stayed up all night hoping that Anna would walk through the door but there had been no sight of her.He looked at his watch and it was already five o'clock and he needed to be out before seven.He had important work to do but before he left he wanted to talk to her and tell her what had happened.He would be gone for a week and by the time he would be back maybe things would have gotten worse than they were.He didn't know how bad things were he just hoped that she would find it in her to forgive him.As he finished packing his suitcase he heard the front door opening and for the first time in his life, his heart started beating fast due to fear.He couldn't understand why he was scared when she was just small and couldn't hurt him.What he didn't know was that the part of his heart that had gotten accustomed to her wa
"I don't want to talk about it ", Anna said as she let out a sigh.She could feel the rage in her build. She wanted to lash out at him. She wanted to tell him all the mean things that she was thinking about but none of that was going to change how she felt.Her eyes were burning but she could not break again Infront of him. He wasn't allowed to see her like that again."What do you mean you don't want to talk about it? Am trying to explain myself to you and you do t even care ", Vincenzo muttered as he paced around the room."I am going away for a trip and I don't want us to be on bad terms while am away all am asking you is to just listen to me and let me explain myself ", he said looking defeated."You have to be fucking kidding me, now of all the times you care if we're on good terms or not, how amazing. I might just have the best husband out there "Anna said as she chuckled looking like a maniac.She had heard enough already and she was tired. She didn't even want to see him. He
As she left the house she hoped that the day was going to be good. Her morning had been ruined already and didn't know what the day had in store for her.As Raul watched her face through the rearview mirror he knew something was up. She noticed him looking at her and she offered him a smile.Lost in her mind she wondered why in the hell she had agreed to this ridiculous marriage. If only things had been different at the start.She didn't know where they were heading and she didn't want to. She couldn't spend her life wondering what was going to happen next.Vincenzo was in another country already making money not thinking about her. She needed to do the same.She needed to get her life together and be the best version of herself.She smiled as she thought of how great it was going to be for her to be in college. She didn't know what to expect but she hoped it would be a great experience.With Vincenzo by her side, she knew that it was going to be great, to be able to work and study at
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
