"Umm, where is he?" I didn't need to say whom I was looking for. She already knew it.
"Sir is outside for some work. He said he would return as soon as possible. Also, you can have your dinner without waiting for him. He might come later," the maid said exactly as he told her. I could understand when people talked to him in languages.
I felt upset. Blaze treated me like this. He almost broke my bones, yet without telling me or waiting for me to wake up. I felt irritated once again. He should coax me right now, yet he went away like a thief. I will not forgive him easily.
I was not in the mood to eat anything, but my stomach was telling the difference. So, I ate a light dinner and went back to my room.
I saw the phone he bought for me. I opened the phone and found my mom's contact number.
At least, I found someone to vent my frustration. As I called her, she received my call and said, "Hello."
"No need to say hello, since you already know it's me, Mrs. Swan." Believe me, I never saw someone so dramatic with her daughter. I heard a teasing tone in her voice when she said hello.
"Yes, Mrs. Roderick, I understand," she mocked me. I felt a little irritated. She never let me win wherever we argue.
"Hump, who is Mrs. Roderick? Since there is no Mr. Roderick, how can I be Mrs. Roderick? Stop eating my mood," I scolded her. "Oh, so Mr. Roderick ran away from your nasty character?"
Can I slap myself? Why did I even call her to say anything? She is Blaze's number one fan. There is no way she would take my stand.
"Yeah, he is just a precious golden rose that my touch spoils him," I said with anger. I was almost growling to prove myself right against that damn heartless husband of mine.
My mother might have felt my frustration and she stopped teasing me. "What happened, Anna? Are you okay?" She finally sounded like a normal mother who was worried about her daughter.
"Mom, I'm not okay. He is someone I love with everything, yet I feel lonely here. First, he kidnapped me and married me. Now one after one, secrets are coming to light. I feel so tired. Why is our life so difficult? Why can I never get the peaceful life I always desired? Did you know that I saw people get killed by my husband in front of me and now I can't sleep? Yet he left without telling me where he was going. Do you know how I felt right away? Every negative thought is coming to my mind." I poured out the pain I hid in my heart.
"Do you want to come home to stay with us for a while?: My mom suddenly sounded profoundly serious.
"He almost broke my waist. I don't need little experience for the second time," I blurted out from fear. I just wanted to show my heart's fear and share them with my mom.
He just crossed four years. How frightened he was right now while facing the scariest enemy of mine! So, when Dylan called me and gave me an option, I had to meet him alone if I wanted Jack alive.
I don't choose because I can't risk a four-year-old boy. He is precious to me. But who knew Lucas was also going to stick with me? He said he's going to Dylan at any cost.
I didn't have a choice, so I agreed.
Our jet landed on Dylan's hotel rooftop. I jumped out and a few men stopped Lucas and me. I was already expecting this. There was no way Dylan Bruce was going to make it easier for me.
They wanted to check on us. Fucking bastards were kidding with me. "If you all don't want to die in my hands, step back before I lost my sense," I growled. Even if I was in a deadly situation, I was still Blaze Roderick, who would never lower his head to anyone in this world other than Anna.
"Wow, wow, cool man. You just came yet already you are threatening my men. Are you scared that bean boy is going to suffer because of your arrogance?"
A voice came from behind. Both Lucas and I knew who it was. We didn't need to look at that bastard's smug face to guess his identity.
