"Alex…." she said in a whisper, which was only listened by her. She knew who this person was. None other than her own love who just confessed to her a few days ago.
She rejected him, saying that she is already betrothed. Then what the hell is he doing here? What!?!
But he was not alone. Along with him was his younger brother whom she met so many times. Her eyes were not betraying her. This was the brother duo. It was from Scott!
Anna felt if tension was building up in the air. All she felt was suffocation and it might kill her at any moment. It was so damn challenging.
Anna wanted to send him away. This was not the right place for them! Chris is just along with her, something can happen at this moment! Why has he brought them here?! Just to make sure she suffers?
Alex finally came in front of her and stood as a magnificent person. She gulped in fear when she saw him. He was not omitting any dangerous vibe but she was sure Chris can do anything right now. She looked at Chris with her wide eyes. Her expression was evident to show that she is not only shocked but surprised.
And this was what Chris wanted to see. Her fearful expression.
The person, who just kidnapped her mother, to tease her a lesson can go to any lengths to make her stay obedient. She has not forgotten what he tried to do with her alone in the room that night. The anger he showed when he got to know she kissed Alex.
"You are finally here after long," David said with a cold expression. But why is he talking with Alex as if he knew him very well? But Alex's eyes were glued to her for a long time. He did not hide his sadness and longness in his eyes for her.
Was he not afraid of these people? All she did was to make him stay away from everyone here and what has it resulted in!?
Her mind was in a total mess. She did not know how to even react to this situation. But the fact that Alex knew about this place? Is he equipped with Steves from earlier?
Alex just stood in front of Anna and Chris as if he was a pillar in between them. With him, Scott stood with his chin up and his eyes moving from Anna to the couple standing on the other side, David and Klara.
Klara wanted to come forward and hug them but he can see David's hand on her arm. It was tight for her so that she can not move from that place.
"W-What are you... doing h-here?" Anna can feel her voice breaking down. Horror was stuck to her as all she wanted was to hug him.
She remembered that he har posted the picture with a girl a few days ago. Was he taken now!?
Anna wanted to jump on him and kiss his face all over again. His this black coat along with white shirt inside was making her eyes shine. On but contrary, his eyes were cols this time.
Anna stood there like a statue that is cursed. But then she heard a voice behind her.
"Welcome back, Alex. How have you been?" She turned around and broke her eye-lock with Alex to look at Chris who waa constantly smiling. This guy was smiling by brining her love here so that she can watch him killing Alex in front of her!?
"I have been good, Chris. Just to let you know, I'm back to have what is actually mine this time." she can feel chills running down her spines. On one side was Chris's playful smile which was hiding a long of things and on another side, Alex's dangerous voice.
She did not know what to do.
But the question which was arising in her mind was only one, how do they all know each other? Do Alex also belongs to one of the family from here!? She wants her question to be answered but from whom she can even ask!?
Each one of here was dangerous and a bomb might explode at any moment. Anna wanted to hold Alex's arm and Scott's hand and take both of them away from here, where they all can be safe.
But wait a moment, what Alex said!? This time? Then he knew who she was from the starting of their friendship? Did he know she is not Anna walker but Sierra Walker? Did he know that she is Chris's to be fiance?
"Alex, won't you greet your old friend?" Chris said whole wrapping his hand around her waist and pulling her closer. The shock has already made Anna weak. Yes! Alex's presence here was a weakness for her.
"Mom, dad, you know Alex and Anna knew each other from before and they study in the same school." Was this necessary to tell them!?
Anna gave him a cold glare, asking him to shut his f.u.c.k.i.n.g mouth. Can not he just keep this in his mind!?
"Oh, nice. It will be good that way. Family studying in the same school is helpful." This time, Klara spoke but in a cheerful tone. It looked like she was happy to hear that. But the same can not be told about Anna.
'Are the family!? But how is Alex related to them!? Cousin?' this question was constantly rising in her mind after hearing Chris's mother.
Can not they simple introduce her to who he hell he is!? How are they related!?
But it looked like no one was interested in speaking anything anymore. Chris's grip on her waist tightened in a protective manner. She does not know why but it surely made the air awkward there.
"Oh Anna, you might understood who he is?." Chris suddenly said when his smirk more widened.
"No…" Anna whispered in a low voice but Chris and Alex heard it correctly.
"Anna, he is Luke Steve, my real brother. And that is my youngest real brother, Scott Steve."
