Chapter 106 - 106. Rules As Wife

Seeing her son sleeping, Anna moved slowly out of bed.

Sssttt… Anna gave a code to Naila to stay in her position. "You just knock on my room if you need something," Anna said in a whisper to Naila.

The girl only responded with a nod, looking at Anna who disappeared behind the door, Naila stretched her body relaxed next to Dave. Somehow she felt a little strange about this mansion. Since entering the yard, when several men wearing black uniforms looked at her, Naila could immediately guess that Brian was not just anyone.

The point is not the elite as in general who just has abundant wealth.

Various thoughts filled her mind, a little about the girl since she was ten years old she has often followed her father not because of desire but coercion, forced to see things that she shouldn't have seen, and also witnessed something very brutal and vile that no child her age should witness. Also not only once or twice she was often forced to become one of the perpetrators by her father. In light of those events, Naila hoped never to be involved again.

"Hopefully in this house, I'll never encounter anything like that again," she monologued as she sighed tiredly and closed her eyes.

While on the other hand, Anna had returned to her room, accompanied by Elena.

"So how? What should I do?" Anna asked right after landing her body on the sofa near the window.

"Here, please read it first, madam. If there is something you don't understand, you can ask," said Elena, handing Anna a few sheets of paper.

Accept and glance at the contents of the paper, on the first sheet contain the things she can do and the second sheet contains all the things she is not allowed to do.

Once again Anna sighed, she hadn't even read the whole contents and was already feeling very sick.

"Those are all orders from Mr. Brian, madam," said Elena when she saw the displeased look on Anna's face.

"Not allowed to leave the mansion."

"No contact with any man, including the bodyguards in the mansion."

"Don't contact anyone without his knowledge."

"You can't do any work yourself and have to be helped by the maids."

"Not allowed to roam around at night and just stay in the room."

Anna read one by one the rules with one breath, it was half of the rules listed on paper and much more.

"Has the man gone mad?"

"Watch your words, madam. As Mr. Brian's wife, you are not allowed to swear, please read rule number 200," said Elena.

"What's this rule anyway? Isn't it enough for him to just force me into marriage?" Anna protested but Elena didn't respond.

"Hee even restricted all my movements," she added.

"You'd better obey it, madam, unless you want Mr. Brian to be angry," suggested Elena. She knew very well what the character of her master was. She had even lost her friend just because she accidentally made a small mistake.

The only thing that relieved her was that she was free to see her son.

Anna tossed the paper on the sofa and leaned back, massaging her painless forehead.

Maybe she should think of a way to escape from this mansion with Dave and Naila. As to where they were headed, she would think about it later.

The reason why she had obeyed all of Brian's wishes since yesterday, was because she was away from her son, she could not be sure how and what would happen to Dave if she refused the man's wishes. The incident at the shopping center was enough to deter her. She didn't want her son to be hurt, let alone to remember her. And the events at that place gave Anna a very clear warning that Brian could do anything to her son. Now, Dave was with her and that meant she could do anything.

Yes, why hadn't she thought of this since yesterday? It just so happened that the man wasn't here either. Having such thoughts, Anna suddenly rose from her position and again grabbed the paper and read it in a very calm manner.

But before carrying out her plan, she must be obedient and avoid the suspicion of those who always follow her as much as possible.

Even though Elena and Carlos were always near her day and night, she firmly believed that there must be an opening she could use to escape from this place, she just needed to focus and look for it.

Elena who saw Anna's calm demeanor smiled, thinking that the woman in front of her heard and obeyed her words.

Until several tens of minutes had passed, Anna stopped her activities.

"Any questions, madam?" asked Elena.

"No, it's all very clear."

"Okay, madam. Then I'll say goodbye," said Elena, bowing slightly.

"Erm."

"Call me if you need anything madam, or you can tell Carlos, he'll keep watching outside."

"Okay. Thank you," replied Anna, nodding.

"Oh, wait. I want to know something more, if I may," said Anna stopping Naila's movement, which had half turned around.

"Of course you can madam, anything for you."

"Why are there only a few rooms on this second floor? Even though this place is very wide," Anna asked in a very relaxed voice.

Elena froze at Anna's question, remained in her position for a few seconds as if she was thinking about something, "Th-that, I don't know, Miss. It's been like this since I came," Elena finally said.

"Why do you ask such a question, madam?"

Anna's brow furrowed, the first time she heard Elena stutter. However, the frown only lasted a few seconds then it returned to normal "Ah no. I'm just curious. Are the rooms the same as this room?" Anna asked again.

"I don't know, Miss."

"Huh? How can that be? Haven't you ever looked inside? Maybe clean it up or something like that?" she asked.

"No madam, I wouldn't do anything that wasn't my job," replied Elena.

"You seriously never saw the contents?" asked Anna repeating her sentence as if dissatisfied with the answer Elena gave her.

"Yes madam. After all, there's no point in me lying to you," replied Elena still with the same answer.

"Okay, okay. I trust you," said Anna.

"May I ask another question?"

"Please, madam. You can ask anything, as long as it is within the scope of my knowledge, I will answer it."

"Before me, did any other women live here?"

"Am I Brian's only wife?" asked Anna again.
