Chapter 8: Chapter 8

The following Morning

"Anna wake up" Christian held his hands to my face, as he tried waking me up, his hands were so soft and warm, as he pulled me off from bed.

"Good morning" I greeted him, as he told me he will be late this evening due to a meeting and we would departing back home tomorrow.

The moment he said that I was so happy to leave here, well not because anything but away from Christian.

"Okay, I'll wait for you" I replied back to him, as he walks off holding a document in his hand.

I laid back down the minute he left, thus after a few hours later, I got dressed up and left the room, I wanted to take a stroll around the city, and indeed I felt light as a feather, it was good staying away from Christain.

I walked into a clothing store, as I hoped to buy a few things for my sister when I heard a voice behind me.

"Hello, ma'am can I help you please" a man altred standing behind me, as I whirled to face him.

"Yes please, can I glance through your jewelry collection" I replied back, as he walked me there.

"Here we are Ma'am" he altered, hence he brought a sliver bracelet for me to see.

"Wow, it's beautiful" I muttered, and I figured my sister will also like it so I decided to buy it for her.

"If you like, we can glance thorough more" he muttered, but I declined his offer, as he went off to pay for the bracelet.

"Thank you"  I went out of the store when suddenly my bag was hijacked by a man.

"Thief, thief, someone help" I kept yelling, as a man, ran after the thief with me behind.

"Here you go," the man said, as he handed over my bag to me with a smile on his face.

"Thank you kind sir" I replied back to him, showing my utmost gratitude for helping me.

"It's ok" he muttered, as we dashed off from there, heeding  back to the hotel.

I waited for Christain back in the room but it was getting late, and I had a long day so I decided to take a rest.

I know when he got back but I was so tired to get up, as he wrapped me up with a blanket, thus till the next morning.

Good morning" I mumbled as I raised up from the bed, heeding to the bathroom, hence he calls out to me

"Anna" he called out, as I turned to face him glaring at me with his phone in his hands.

" Yes please," I mumbled with a soft tone, waiting for his response, as he approached me.

"Who were you with yesterday?" he raised a question, as I glanced stunned at it but before I could alter a word, he raised his hands on me.

I held my cheeks in shock, at what was going on, as I tried explaining to him.

But still, he refused to listen to a word I say, hence he angrily held his hands on my neck, as he attempted shoving the life out of me.

"Urgh, stop" I struggled to speak, thus he let me go as I dropped down on the floor, striving to grab my breath.

"Go away" he mumbled in anger, thus I left to avoid any more maltreatment.

Hours later, we packed up our bags, as we left without saying a word to each other.

I glanced at Christain and saw how furious he was for something not worth getting upset about.

The plane docked hence got into his car, as it drove away. It halted at my house, thus I came down with my bags.

I stepped into the house, as my sister lunged on me with a tight hug.

"Have missed you a lot" she mumbled out, as she hugged me with her hands on the scars Christain inflicted on me.

"I missed you more" I replied back to her, hence yanked her away from me as I tried to cover up with happen.

Mom and dad both came out as I dashed off to meet them with a smile on their faces.

"Welcome honey" dad mumbled as he pinnies a kiss on my forehead whereas mom instructed I go freshen up after a long journey.

I dash off to the room, with my sister's eyes on me, as she scanned for any possible marks I might have gotten.

Thus if Liza finds out what happened back there, I am sure my sister will be stumped out in anger to confront Christian, which can recreate more rifts between mom and her, so it was best I try to hide it from her.

I stepped into the room, as I placed my bag on the bed, thus removed my clothes and glanced at the marks I got.

But what I didn't know was that my sister was behind the door, perking at me, she yelled the minute she saw it.

" Liza" I called out, tries hiding it away as she flings my hands off, glimpsing on them.

"Who did this too you" she raised a question, thus I tried covering up but she was so sure that Christain was the reason behind it.

"I will teach him a very good lesson" Liza muttered in angry as he tries to walk away but I held her by her hands, thus pleaded with her not to create a rift.

But knowing my sister, I know she won't let it go that easily, will surely wait for a time to pay back.
