chapter six

Ann pov

"I think I need to leave" I said to him in a hurry and rushed to my car.

Grandfathers words kept replaying in my head and it broke me more and more, for years I was treated badly like an outsider.

" all these while I was my father's daughter" I thought to myself as I drove but I couldn't go home anymore , I immédiatement drove to Williams place.

It became my place of solace and he had already said it was for me to access when ever I wanted to till I could fully move in after the wedding.

" hey" he greeted as I walked in .

" hi , Uhmm I didn't expect you to be around sorry I am going to leave"

" No no hold on you don't need to"

" I mean…."

" Ann if you're gonna do this you need to be strong don't show weakeness" he said to me out of the blue

" I'm not weak" I replied irritated at his comment.

" you think?"

" what are you talking about?"

"Nothing nevermind" he cut me off and went back to his phone.

" nevermind?, you don't get to imply something and brush it off like it's nothing"

" Ann what's wrong ?" He asked, I didn't even realize I was already in tears until I saw him trying to clean it off my cheek.

" please just leave me alone" I said and quickly rushed to the room.

" Ann you can talk to me! Cmon what's going on" he yelled from the door but I couldn't let him in, let him see and confirm my weakness

He would never understand what I battled with.

I wished he wasn't here and what I heard tortured me the more but I couldn't tell him about how messed up my family was, it would scare him off and I needed him to fulfill my plans before I would be no more.

Didn't realize I had fallen asleep in my thoughts , I woke up with a headache and dried up tears on my cheeks.

Cleaned up and unlocked the door to find he had prepared a meal, it was the first time in a long time my stomach had woken up to a freshly made meal.

" come sit and eat with me" he said to me calmly but I couldn't, I had fear of eating home made meals and I wasn't going to tell him that

" no…. Thanks I'll just go get something at the convenient store" I tried to find a way to escape the meal but he wouldn't burge

" Ann I made this myself and I made sure it's really nice and healthy"

Why won't he just stop acting like he cared, we didn't have to act like couples who liked eat other.

" it's okay I'm okay" I said and walked out.

I was heading to a store down the road when someone unexpected blocked my path

" Charles?!"

"What are you doing here" I asked already getting upset.

" Ann, I don't believe this, my boss Ann!!" He yelled

"You left me for my boss?, what did he tell you and you now sleep at his place?"

" excuse me?!"

" yes Ann you are damn right cheap and a sl**, you walk out on me and break off our engagement to get down with someone who's using you?" And I slapped he hell out of this mouth.

" How dare you!!" He said with shock

" you don't have the right to talk to me like that anymore, so you think you can act under my nose and I wouldn't find out?"

" you think you are the victim here?" I wasn't having it anymore and needed out of there

He suddenly became pathetic " Ann you want to leave me?, you want to let go of everything we shared? Why because I'm not wealthy?"

" what?!"

" yes Ann you are following a more wealthier man what do you expect me to think, I'm not capable of taking care of you and I know but I am trying my best"

His best?!! He was head and tail on my sister and ignored my very existence and he called that his best, but I knew this game he was playing and wasn't going to give in.

" Ann cmon let's just work things out please I'm begging" he knelt down and pleaded just was nothing to me.

" listen Charles I'm done with this rubbish you are displaying here , just go home"

" Ann what about my mother"

" what about her?"

" she collapsed last night and has been asking for you ever since" but I knew he was lying, he knew this things got to me and I would change my mind.

" Charles I'm not here for that anymore, go and tell her you were inlove with someone else" and made to walk out but he held my wrist and dragged me back.

" hey let me go!!!,"

" Ann you can't do this to me" before he could finish his sentence a punch landed on his jaw and he fell down.

I saw Williams charging at him and I held him back and pulled him away.

" it's enough! Charles go home!!!, cmon let's go" I said to Williams dragging him along.

" What was that?" I asked as we walked home"

You took so long and I got worried" he said while tending to his bruised knuckles.

" No I mean what was that! Being violent?, I asked for help but you don't have to start beating everyone up"

" it didn't seem to me like you had it under control" he said drawling his words.

" I have it under control!"

" And I appreciate the help but you don't need to follow me around all the time" I said and went in to my room.

I knew I was upset at the wrong person, I knew he was only trying to help but it was more than that for me

What I found out earlier had ruined my mood and I was to upset to think straight

" Ann I'm sorry I just got worried and when I saw you in that state I just had an impulsive thought and I didn't have time to think it through, I hope you understand" he said from the door, he was being too good and I wasn't sure I could return the energy.
