Chapter 31: Chapter 31

"I couldn't stay long. Pappi would look for me. Where are we going?" Anya asked. She glanced at Andrius and when she saw that he was just seriously focused on driving she was pissed.

"Stop pouting. You aren't cute anymore," he said seriously to the girl.

Anya raised an eyebrow at what he said. She stared at him. She just gave birth but nothing changed in her. She was even whiter but still beautiful.

"Why are you like that? Are you insulting me now? You look ugly, too!" she said as he nodded.

Anya shrugged her shoulders and just looked out of the car. She was even surprised when Andrius laughed a little next to her. When she looked back, she saw him shaking his head while focusing on driving.

"You're still my crazy, Anya. Tssk! Old habits die hard. But your feelings for me vanished quickly as the wind. How is that possible, Anya?" he asked.

Anya was stunned by what he said. Anya couldn't utter any word. She did not know where to start. Until now, there was still no certainty at all.

For a few minutes, silence reigned over them. Anya chose to remain silent while looking at the Pacific Ocean they were passing through. Coconut trees just down the road. And simple houses that added to the beautiful scenery of the province.

When Andrius passed their house, anxiety suddenly arose in Anya's heart. She immediately thought of her child because she knew he was waiting for her.

Anya glanced at Andrius who was next to her. Their child captured what he looked like. His sharp nose. His blue eyes as well as his frowning in all things he did not like. She loved to tell the young man about their son. That Atreus was a spitting image of him. But, what about Arruba and her threat? She knew her connection was still strong. She knew that the girl could still destroy her.

"We're here," Andrius grabbed Anya's attention.

"Villa Maria Luisa Hotel? Shit, Andrius! It's far from home! How is Pappi? How is--"

"Who?" Andrius asked. He frowned as he turned to Anya and stared at her.

Anya's eyes widened at Andrius. She also hurriedly took off the seatbelt of the car which unfortunately did not want to be removed. She blushed again in her mind and looked up slightly.

Why was she being played by chance?

"Here," Andrius said. Anya did not notice that he was close to her to help her take off the seatbelt on her body. "If you hide something from me. I promise to punish you more, Anya. You know how I punish, right?" he whispered in her ear.

Anya bit her lip so hard as she felt Andrius' lips slided to bite her neck and licked it slightly. Her eyes also widened as his hand caressed her leg up to her thigh.

"W-What are you d-doing?!" Anya stutter. Her words lacked conviction. She bit her lower lip and cursed herself for being too vulnerable for Andrius. She was fucked up. She was a fragile creature when it came to man.

Andrius laughed softly at Anya's statement. Amusement flashed on his blue eyes and a playful smile was evident in his handsome face. He even touched the bottom of his chin with new hair tubes and acted shaky.

"Feisty, yet you're still for me. You can't deny it, Anya," he said foolishly to her.

Anya took a deep breath as she walked away from him. She was blown away by the wind that he had been holding back because of what the young man had done earlier. Andrius was an expert of teasing her. And she was carried away by his temptations.

When the two got out of the car, Andrius immediately gave the key to the Hotel's valet. He even supported her on the walk and the employees all over the place also noticed them.

"Why here?" she asked the young man.

"Because, I live here. Isn't it obvious?" the young man's sarcastic response.

"Do you have any plans to do something bad to me?" Anya asked, trying to raise her voice.

"If I have something in mind, it would be you and me under the sheet. Naked. So stop your nonsense argument or else, I'm gonna kiss you senseless, Anya," Andrius challenged Anya.

Anya bowed and her cheek immediately turned red. Andrius laughed softly at what she did so she looked up again and stared at him.

After a while, Andrius started walking. He walked inside the Villa and Anya could not help but shrinked. Aside from the fact that she was still in their university uniform, the staff of the entire hotel seemed to know the young man. The female staff also looked at him and obviously they were still thrilled. Something that caused her eyebrows to rise.

"Don't worry, baby. They can only stare at me. But you're the only one who could have me. So stop pouting, you're not cute," Andrius whispered in Anya's ear as the young man noticed that the girl was not in the mood.

Andrius took Anya to a VIP suite. The airy surroundings immediately opened up to the girl. Simple furniture, and a small size bed. A television and small living room set inside. It also looked like the young man has been living there for a long time because of the things that he seemed to have bought himself.

The suite was small. It wasn't that grand. It was very different from the expensive VIP suites in Metro but for Andrius it was fine. As long as he could be near to Anya again. Even if he looked like a stalker, he didn't care.

Only last month, Andrius found out where the girl was. He used his money to find her. He even sought help from his friends who had a lot of connections but he failed. Another wonder he had was why she left their house and walked away.

Andrius has only been watching Anya in the distance for a month. With the help of his four special elite bodyguards he was able to locate her. It costs him millions but he didn't care.

When Andrius first saw the girl he was inside the classroom, smiling as she taught her students. So, she asked his niece Athena to move school. The school did not want to accept, but money moved everything. In exchange for his nephew's official student status, he donated a university building.

Andrius did not regret donating millions again. It was for the student's benefit anyway. Money wasn't an issue for him. He was very much well off. He could spend a billion just to see Anya.

But when he saw her again, he did not have the courage to approach Anya. When the woman was in the university, he could only afford to preview her when she went to class. Until, he got to the point being a tricycle driver in the morning for her.

"Now, speak Anya! Why did you leave?" Andrius asked as he closed the door.

Andrius stared at the back of the girl who was busy watching his unit. He approached her and held both of her arms. He felt the girl hissed of what he did so the young man was slightly shaken. He imitated her to sit on his bed and gently faced her.

"I need to go home Andrius. They're looking for me. You know Pappi is worried about me right? Please, don't be like this," pleading Anya said to him.

Andrius frowned. He bent down to match the girl's face but she could not look directly into his eyes. Something was odd. He could feel it.

"What is it bothering you? Can you please, enlighten me, Anya? Your silence keeps on hurting me. I wanted to know. Why did you leave me?" the young man's voice was full of resentment. He lost his playful aura and it became serious.

"B-Because of A-Arruba," Anya stuttered. Finally, she found the courage to tell Andrius the truth.

Andrius was right. She hurt the young man when she rejected him in his marriage offer. He was also hurt by what she did.

They were both hurt. They were hurt because of Arruba's manipulation. And five years was long enough to suffer from the pain.

"What?!" Andrius shrieked. "How? What did she do to you? Fuck!" the young man asked one question after another.

Andrius stood up straight and walked around the suite. He also kicked anything that hit his feet while clenching his fist. Andrius was fuming mad. His eyes were bloodshot. Whatever calming he did to himself he was unable to calm down.

He had enough from Dietrich family. From planning to ruin his business in Germany and overtake him as a CEO. From bribing him to marry their daughter Arruba in exchange of power. And this ...

"You should have told me! What am I to you? Do you not trust me?" Andrius accused Anya.

Anya got appalled. What Andrius said hit her like a sharp knife right through her heart. But, he couldn't blame her. No one could blame her.

"Because, I'm scared! She threatened me, Andrius! She'll ruin my family. She'll take everything from me. And she did. Pappi's job. Our house. And you!" he shouted back at the young man.

Anya couldn't help it. She let herself completely immerse in the tears that flowed down her cheeks. Why else would she restrain herself, if through her conversation with Andrius, she would also be able to put an end to their doubt that was in their hearts

"What about me?" the young man asked while still clenching his fist. When Anya did not speak, Andrius punched the wall of the room. He did not care if his fist hurt or it was bleeding. He wanted to vent his anger at those times.

"He said, you will lose your company in Germany. That because I am selfish, you will lose everything. What your Dad worked for, will be ignored because of me. So, I chose to stay away even if I did not want to. Do you understand me?!" Anya continued to say to the young man while her tears continued to flow. No matter how much she smeared them, it still could not be applied to her eyes. Even though the memory of the past five years was painful she insisted on saying things.

She needed it. They both needed it.

When Andrius observed the girl's appearance, he calmed down. He approached her and when he saw that she was difficult to breathe because of the constant crying he searched for water. He also hugged the girl and she hugged him. He also stroked her back and tried to calm her down.

"You should have known. I don't care about my wealth. I could give them my wealth just so I don't lose you. You should know that! You are the wealth I have, " he whispered to her. Andrius pulled Anya closer to his chest.

They were in that position when Anya's cell phone rang. At the same time, they looked up and searched the woman's bag where the device was. Anya answered it immediately when she saw that her Pappi was calling and let it on a loudspeaker.

"Mommy! Why aren't you home, yet? Atreus cried, I missed mommy so much. I can't sleep!" Her son was crying in the other line.

Andrius and Anya looked at each other at the same time. The young man was an idiot while processing everything that had happened. Both were mentally deprived. The girl quickly turned off the speaker of the device while the young man stared at her sharply.

"Mommy, will come home now love. Wait for me, okay? I love you," Anya answered and turned off the call. She sighed after. She also calmed down from her answer with Andrius earlier. When she looked at Andrius again, his burning blue eyes opened up to her.

"You'll be going to pay for this Anya." Andrius only said before he pulled away from the place.

Anya knew that she had nothing more to hide from Andrius. He already knew the reason for his departure then. Especially that they had a child. The only thing that bothered her was his punishment.

What kind of punishment was it?
