Chapter 22: Chapter 22

"All right! Yes! Shut up!" Anya's Pappi teased annoyed as he prepared their dinner. When he laid their dish on the table, he frowned at the same time.

Anya smiled to herself. Her Pappi finally agreed to her to stay at the Mansion de Monterio for a while. When he turned his Pappi, he sat down on the opposite chair.

"Thank you, Pappi. I'm going home too, after." she said softly.

Anya immediately poured food on her plate and ate well. Her mouth was fast so she did not realize that her Pappi was staring at her intently. He sighed after watching her.

"You are fragile, Anya. Where did you inherit that?" Pappi said.

Anya stopped eating and smiled at her father. It was still frowning and looking sullen. The girl just shook her head and finished the meal immediately. She ignored him because she knew her father's litany would be longer.

Pappi said something about fraud. Even married, they could still be fooled. Like Tae Oh and Da Kyung who cheated on Sun Woo.

She frowned as her Pappi spoke. She did not know what he was saying but she knew it was from Kdrama he was watching.

"What drama is that, Pappi? It looks like you've been bitter because of that. That's bad Pappi," teasing she said here.

Her Pappi stared at her and resumed eating. As she turned around behind it to hug it tightly.

"I love you so much, Pappi. You're the best Dad in the whole world." Anya spoke while hugging the back of him.

"I love you too, child. Watch The world of the married once to make you conscious," his philosophical answer.

Anya frowned at what her father had said but she just shrugged it off. She left him in the kitchen and went on to her room. She smiled as she thinked about what clothes to bring. But, she also thought about the last thing Andrius said to her.

'I want you, naked. Like a damsel in distress.'

Why not?

Anya knew she would only give herself to Andrius. Even if he claimed it over and over again, she would not complain. Andrius Monterio owned her, afterall.

Anya carried only one handbag with her. It was nothing but pure sexy silk lingerie. She was sure that he did not need clothes when she was with Andrius so she did not bother anymore.

She smiled at the thought.

Andrius Monterio could awaken her sexual desires. If it was a bad thing, she didn't know. What Anya knew was that, she's happy and she didn't regret anything.

Anya woke up early, the next day. She quickly adjusted herself and went down with her bag which had dressed last night. She even caught up with her Pappi who was quietly crying while being deprived. When she saw what it was doing, she just sighed. It was watching Kdrama again as he said last night and the scenes look intense.

"Pappi, I'll go," she said as she approached her father. She kissed him on the cheek then and stared for a moment. "Pappi, it's just a drama. Don't cry anymore," Anya added.

Her father nodded and wiped away his own tears before turning to her. "I'm just annoyed. Why are there people who like to cheat? That's exactly what your mother did to me. I'm gay and gay, can I be fooled?"

Pity Anya stared at her father. She leaned over the couch on which she was sitting and immediately hugged him tightly. She stroked it on the back because he was sobbing. He seemed affected as he watched this Kdrama.

"Pappi, no one has the right to say, that you can be fooled because you are gay. Gender is also not based on how good a person is. So, it's okay to cry. You're ugly, Pappi!" she said emphatically.

Anya smiled as her Pappi slapped her on the arm. She prefered him when it was strict and rude than to see him quiet and crying.

"You! Crazy girl! Get out of here!" he said as he walked away from her slightly. Pappi frowned as he wiped the small tears from his face.

"Bye, Pappi. Stop that drama Pappi. It's not good for you."

Anya stood up and immediately took her bag and slung it over her shoulder. She hurried to the door and went out. She no longer had a hard time waiting for a car because the Grab she had booked earlier was already outside.

Anya immediately went straight to the Monterio Empire main building. Work was still work even though she was the CEO's girlfriend.

Anya laughed at the thought. Apart from being handsome and rich, Andrius loved her.

Carrying the handbag, she got out of the car. She kept walking into the building so she was surprised when someone dared to pull her hand from behind. When she looked back, a slap hit her on the cheek. She touched the slapped cheek sharply when turned to look at whoever slapped her. Carla was right in front of her. She looked very mad. Her eyes glazed over as she stared at her.

"Your face is really thick, Anya. I told you to stay away from him!"

Anya frowned at what she said. Even so, she stared at her old friend intently. She looked at Carla with pity in her eyes. Her friend looked like a mess. She knew her friend was totally in despair. Carla loses her class and sanity.

Indeed, too much love will kill you.

"Stop this nonsense, Carla. You lost your class!" she said emphatically to her. "If I don't like it, I don't!" she added.

"How dare you!" Carla shouted again. She was about to slap Anya again when she stopped her friend's hand. She slumped but she gripped her hand tightly.

"You're so pitiful Carla. Have a little dignity. Even on your own." she boldly promised to her friend.

Carla was surprised by what she said. There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Anya released Carla's hand that she had been holding earlier. She thought it was leaving but it was not over yet.

"I'm pregnant! Andrius is the father."

Anya was surprised by what her friend said but for a moment she cleared her mind of doubt. Doubting was not good in a relationship, and if what Carla said was true. She could accept it. Anya would let Andrius handle his thing.

"Let Andrius decide about that, Carla. Prove to him that it was true. I am not the one you should talk to in that matter because I can accept defeat if necessary." she finally said her friend.

Anya looked around. She knew that the building employees were looking at them. When she saw the guard she called them. She pulled her friend out.

"You won't be happy with him, Anya! I promise you that! You'll pay for this!"

She screamed while the guard was carrying her. Even though the old friend was hurting her head, she still felt sorry for her. Too much love could make you desperate. You gave love while loosing yourself in the process.

Anya sighed. She also squeezed her senses because it hurt a little again. These past few days have been a constant headache. Her migraine was attacking again.

Anya continued to enter the building earlier. She also ignored the eyes that were focused on her. She did not care what they thought. They could judge her all they want. She didn't care. She knew the truth. That was all that matters.

Anya was focused all day on work. She made too many reports and minutes. If cleaning and maintenance had not yet entered their floor, she would not have thought of looking at the watch.

When she realized that it was already afternoon, she hurriedly slung the bag over her shoulder. She also glanced at Andrius' office for a moment. She would go straight to his house so she had to hurry.

"Ate Jodie, I'll be the first to leave," she said goodbye to the cleaner.

"Be careful beautiful," replied.

Anys smiled at what the janitress said. As she also began to walk away from the place. She felt light even though her morning was not good.

Anya just kept walking out. She reached the outside of the building shortly after. He slapped her own forehead when she forgot to book Grab. She hurriedly booked a car while waiting outside.

She was standing outside the building for a few minutes when a white van pulled up in front of her. She would not have ignored it but anyone pulling her inside. She wanted to shout but her mouth quickly covered immediately.

"Shit! Who are you?!" Anya finally said that when they would take her on board. She rolled her eyes inside the car.

They laughed again and shook. Anyal just kept quiet and periodically peeked outside. She frowned when she realized they were in Manila Port.

"Hey! Why did you bring me here?!" she asked them.

Anya did not get an answer from them. Moments later the man stopped the car. They got out while she remained inside.

"Miss you come down."

"I do not want to!"

"I'm sorry Miss. We won't hurt you." the man said softly. He no doubt lifted her. Anya looked like a sack the way he carried her. She felt as if they were climbing on something. So she punched the man even more in the back.

"Fuck! You touched my baby, assholes?"

From nowhere Anya heard Andrius' voice. Anya stopped what she was doing. So did the man who made her. It also lowered her to the floor where they were. She turned back on what they were looking at, quickly.

Anya's eyes twinkled with happiness seeing Andrius in front of her. Meanwhile, Andrius looked murderous eyeing the four men at the back of her. All of them bowed their head upon seeing Andrius.

"Andrius ..." Anya called him. Andrius looked at Anya and his face lit up instantly.

"Hey, baby." Andrius smiled.

Anya wasted no time. She moved forward to embrace Andrius. But, Andrius lifted her like a baby. That was why she was so attached to the back of him for support.

"Looks like my baby, misses me so much," he whispered in her ear.

"Not really!" she lied. Few weeks of him in Germany was torture. She immediately pressed her reddened cheek to the young man's neck. Andrius laughed at what she did. As their four companions left the area and left them.

"I miss you," Andrius whispered again.

Anya didn't answer. She just nodded to him. She wanted to tell him, she misses him too, but it was not necessary. Actions speak louder than words. And, Anya would prove him that. Later, in his bed.
