Shackled by the Mafia Lord

“I will never get married,” a young Anna had once vowed to herself a long time ago due to her experience with her parents. She promised that she would not allow herself to be wrapped in someone’s shackles and stay trapped in a cage. But as she grew older, she realized that she at least wanted a child of her own, especially now due to her grandparents. Her grandparents had been hounding her to get married but she still had a negative image of marriage that she loathed. She only needed the cute little angel but not the father. But when her grandmother’s health failed and the old lady kept wishing for a grandchild, Anna had to stop procrastinating and have the baby she wanted no matter how she got it. And in a desperate impulse, she ventured into a famous club to make herself a mother. And so started a journey that she never expected as she unknowingly got tangled with a Mafia Lord. She had a steamy night with a stranger and finally got her wish. She got pregnant. And she fully intended to raise it on her own. But the child’s father, whom she did not know was a mafia lord, suddenly appeared and insisted on marrying her. Will Anna compromise on her beliefs and get married or still raise the child on her own? (Gold Winner of WPC 285)

Explanation

Anna bit her lips as she waited for Lexus to hit her. But what came instead was a gentle caress to her cheek and an arm around her waist.

"Why are you trembling like that? Anna, I'm not going to hit you. Have I ever hit you before? I won't do that," Lexus said in a now gentler voice and Anna cried even more.

In relief perhaps? She doesn't know anymore.

"I'm sorry I raised my voice. I didn't mean to yell at you like that," Lexus embraced her and she sobbed on his chest. She didn't even want to be in his arms right now and yet she couldn't push him away. She hadn't seen him in three days and he had been busy the days before that so she actually missed him.

'Why? Why do I still long for his embrace even though he already betrayed me?! Why does it still feel so warm to be held by him like this?'
