Remove your dress right now..

Mark's POV:

I wake up in the morning and with my workout and started doing my office work. Meanwhile, Mona visited my room.

Mona: Hi Mark, Good morning..

Mark: Good morning, Mona...

Mona: I think our plan is going to fail.

Mark: Which plan?

Mona: The paparazzi plan on Anna...

Mark: Why? What happened? Are the paparazzi not coming to the party?

Mona: Anna is not coming to the party..

(Immediately I stopped my work and looked at Mona in shock.)

Mark: Why? What happened to her? Doesn't she feel well?

Mona: She is fine, Mark, she said she is not interested to attend the party and she said she will come and discuss about it with you.

Mark: Let's see then..,

Mona: Did you buy the teddy bear for Anna?

Mark: What?

Mona: The 4 feet teddy

Mark: 4 feet?

Mona: Don't you know about that?

It's exactly the same piece of Angel's teddy.

Mark: Hoo..

I think she might buy it..

Mona: Anna also doesn't know who keeps that teddy, but she loved that teddy. I thought it was you who bought that teddy.

Mark: Do you think I have time to go and buy teddy stuff?

Mona: Maybe, Why not..? What's wrong with that?

Mark: Instead of keeping an eye on me, it's better if you identify who bought that teddy for her...

Mona: Yeah, there may be a chance of hidden person too...

(I smile to myself.)

Mark: Ok, I am going to breakfast, will you join?

Mona: No, I had mine, and I am leaving; Goodbye..

(I went to the dining room and I saw Anna is having her breakfast. I felt happy by looking at her. I went and sat opposite to her and having my breakfast. I know she is ready to talk about the party. So, I didn't look at her and try to ignore her. Meanwhile, she breaks the silence.)

Anna: I won't come to the party..

(I got angry when I hear those words because she is not interested to come to the party with me as my partner. It's a kind of her rejection to me, I can't bear it, so I looked at her with my furious face and ordered her to attend the party.)

Mark: No one asks you for your permission, I order you to come to the party...

That's it..!!!

(I told her seriously and ignored her reaction and went to my room. After a few minutes, Anna knocked on my door, I told her to come in. She entered my room by holding the dress cover.)

Anna: Sorry Mark, I don't want to come to the party..

Excuse me..

(She places the dress cover on my bed, and she is about to leave.)

Mark: Then forget about your mom and her grave...

(She immediately turned towards me with her shocked expressions.)

Anna: "What do you mean?"

Mark: "If you want to see your mom's grave or you want to know where your mom's grave is, you should come to the party with me...

That's final.."

(I said very sharply and now I am sure she has no other choice to escape from me.)

Anna's pov:

What he just said?

Is he just bargaining my mom's grave with the party?

Tears filled in my eyes for his harsh words. Why is he speaking to me in such a way? 

He is the only person who knows where my mom's grave is and I need to know where it is, So, it's better If I accept his proposal.

So I clear my eyes and look into his face. his face looks more furious and outraged. I take all my strength and accepted to his proposal.)

Anna: Ok then, I will come, but I don't want to wear a dress....

Mark: it won't be nice, if you come nude to the party, Anna...

(He said seriously but with his husky tone. What he is thinking?

How he thinks that I will come to the party in the nude?)

Anna: "I mean, I don't wear this dress.."

Mark: Don't you like this dress?

Anna: I don't wear a dress which I can't afford..

Mark: I paid the bill for the dress.

Anna: I know, but I don't like you to spend on me for such an expensive dress.

Mark: I didn't spend that money on you, I spend for the party and the girl who is the partner to me should maintain minimum standards in the party. So I spent the more amount...

Anna: I don't want to be a partner of the person who is giving value to the dress than the person.

Mark: So you don't give value to the dress?

Anna: No.. Never in my life..

Mark: Then Remove your dress right now, then I will give value to the person than the dress.

(He looked at me with his smirk face for his checkmate.)

Anna: What?

(I asked him with my serious tone my blood was rushed into my face. How dare he asked me to remove my dress in front of him?)

Mark: You should wear this dress to the party, or you should remove your dress in front of me right now..

(Its a waste to argue with him, I just hold the cover and went to my room silently, I am getting the echo of his words, "remove your dress.."

How pervert he is?

What Mona said was right, If he thinks it to happen, he will make it happen..

He might remove my dress if I didn't take that dress cover, So I silently took the dress cover and came to my room. The party will start at 6 p.m.

So by 5, we will start. I will start to get ready after lunch. I take a nap and wake up at lunchtime and had my lunch, and later I take a bath and dried my hair.

I tie up my hair like a bun and wore my dress. It's really the perfect fit for me but when I saw my back, I feel myself awkward, it's better if I lose my hair, so most of my back is covered with my hair.

I need to make my hair a little curly but I didn't have a curly clip. Meanwhile, I finished my face makeup. I wear it very simple. Then I got a flash that I may find curly clips in Ria's room. So I went and knocked on the door.

I knocked and waited for a few minutes, he didn't respond, I find the door was not locked. So I entered the room and went near to the wardrobe and searching the curly clips in that mess.

Yes, I found four curls, I think it's enough and step back to turn but my back hit to a pillar.

Wait, wait, there should be no pillar. I turned my face to check..

I am scared and screamed loudly..

It's Mark..

He suddenly closes my mouth with his hand, and with the other hand, he grips on my waist. I can sense my back is touching his bare wet body. He is in a towel, I guess he just came out of the bath. He leaned close to my ears and said, "You look damn hot in this dress, Anna..."

I widen my eyes in shock, Is he rally praised me or he started his teasing again?

The moment he left me, I just ran out from that room by holding the curls. I don't know why my heartbeat raises up, after a few seconds I calm down and I started to get ready. I loosen my hair with curls and most of my back was closed..

I feel better and I am done with my eye makeup too and I finally wear a Lip gloss and some final touch up.

Meanwhile, Nanny called me and informed me that Mark is waiting at downstairs. I immediately left the room to reach Mark, when I am getting down from the stairs, I looked at him…

He is already staring at me with his sharp eyes. I feel shy and turn my face to down and stand beside him. He wears a perfect fitness suite and every woman will fall for him by looking at his glare,

Anna: "You look very Handsome.."

I break the silence and complimented him, I take all my steangth and looked into his staring sharp eyes, he suddenly kept his hand on my back, just below my hair, and above my butt where exactly my skin is exposed.

I feel his warm hand on my cold skin and initiate me to Let's start..

I am near to his shoulder now, just a few more inches are away from his face maybe just because of the Heels I wear I match his height. We both went near to his car and I sit in the passenger seat, he started the car and started driving.

When I sit, I feel like my neck strip was loosened a little bit, but I ignore it. we reached the entrance of the event pub.

I am shocked when I see the paparazzi around my car. I suddenly feel thirsty, and I got the hiccups. Mark immediatly hold one of my hands and said, "It's ok, Don't worry..

This will be very common..

Do you want to drink water?"

(my face turned to red and blushed when he holds my hand, and I nod my head as Yes and my hiccups were stopped..

Then I have some water and try to take off my seat belt but my dress strap was struck to my seat belt. I tried to take it, but due to my nervousness, I can't help it. Meanwhile, Mark holds the seat belt and pushed it away suddenly..

It seat belt came out of my dress but I feel loosen on my neck strap. I came out of the car and I immediately hold Mark left hand with my right hand and about to enter the party..
