Damon stared intently at Anya after he heard her response.
Anya’s emotions gradually calmed down and turned cool. She was now looking at Damon expressionlessly.
“Is that what you called me for?” Anya asked. Damon sighed at the tension in her voice. “Why did you not tell me?” He asked.
Anya looked away and smiled bitterly.
“You paid me to have the child. Mr. Castellano, I don’t have any right,” Anya said in a stiff voice.
Damon’s heart sank. He looked at Anya and tried to catch her eyes. “Anya, its different now-“
“Why is it different?” Anya cut him off and looked at him again.
“Is it because you said you like me? Did you approach me with that knowledge?” Anya asked with a slight tremble. She doesn’t know why her emotions are so worked up and sensitive right now. So what, Anya? He could do whatever he wants actually. Anya doesn’t understand why this left a bad taste in her mouth.
Damon could only look at Anya, weighing her expression. He felt like stepping in a landmine. Wrong move and he could destroy it all.
Until she spoke again.
“Are you using him to get me now?” Anya disdained this kind of thought. No one knew how much she wanted to be with her son, and using this against her hit her heart differently.
As he saw the emotions and the woman’s guard up, Damon felt there was nothing he could do. They were both in a tight and cornered situation.
Damon had this thought till the very next day, as he sat in his office. He remembered their conversation last night and the reluctance in Anya eyes.
It was just so ironic that the first time Damon wanted a woman so much, but she was just completely slipping out of his grasp. Always trying to get away from his hold.
Anya on the other hand, just woke up in her apartment. It was already quite late, but she chose to rest today. She did not know, but yesterday’s conversation tired her out more than what happened to her the other night. It made her weak.
She thought carefully about her matter with Damon.
It was true he was a great man, and he had helped her a lot. He was also the father of her child.
But what he said at their dinner pulled her heart differently.
He was using her son against her, which was a pretty sensitive matter to Anya.
She thought of this but when she remembered the man’s defeated and tired face yesterday, it her heart differently, and she could not deny it.
She wanted to give in, but she wants to stand with her conviction. She does not want to enter that kind of life again.
Damon Castellano was a powerful man. He could do anything he wanted, and with every means. His exercise of power gave Anya a different kind of feeling. Fear.
She just knew how much damage it will cause her once the softness and gentleness of his heart will fade away and change into disdain.
It was easy for someone like her to be thrown away, and Anya think if that will happen, she doesn’t know how could she bring herself back up again. Tasting the sweetness of life and then be thrown to the mud could be very devastating. And Anya knew that so well out of all people.
Anyway, this was just temporary. Sooner or later, he would get tired of her.
But this time, she feels more dispirited. Because it involves a child, someone part of her.
Anya sighed with this thought. She looks like an ungrateful and arrogant bitch right now, but she is just saving the three of them from more conflict. If she would be in trouble and be in conflict with the people around Damon, she will not be the only one affected. Damon and their son will be too.
So while its early, she wants to stop. Even though her heart is slowly giving in. But in life, not at all times you will let your heart lead. Anya had sacrificed so much for her heart already. And she learned this the hard way.
She just wished she can thank him. Even if its just a bliss, he made her feel she was worthy. He respected her and treated her right. The gentleness and care he showed was something she had not felt for a long time. And even though she tries to brush it off, it cut deep in her heart. And this made her more afraid. She was afraid of getting used to his care.
She wants to give back but she is not in the position to do so. She was not suited to be by his side. So she will decide.
But without her knowing, a tear slipped down her cheeks while she was in deep thought.
He was then pulled out from his thoughts when he heard his intercom beeped.
“President, Mr. Alex is here,” Gabe informed his boss. Hearing this, Damon gave his permission.
“Let him in,”
Alex walked in Damon’s office with a report in his hands. Damon did not forget the suspiciousness on Anya’s situation and had that night carefully investigated. So he immediately contacted his most trusted friend and the leading investigator of the country. Which did not disappoint him as they already have reports for just hours of investigating.
“Ms. Anya was drugged and was dragged to that hotel. Fortunately, nothing happened to her, she was not touched. But there was pictures sent to you, so we assume those were deliberate while they locked up Anya.” Alex reported.
The longer Damon listened, his face gradually darkened and darkened. Alex saw this and added.
“The man seems to be related to Andrei Davids, but we are still confirming that until now,” Alex said.
Damon finally clenched his hand as he heard it mentioned by the investigators themselves. That man was really a disgrace to mankind. There was really no bottom line for his madness.
“But that’s not all,” Alex added. Damon looked up at him with eyebrows wrinkled.
“Veronica Ambrosia might be conspirator. She was in contact with Mr. Andrei before the event took place. And also, she found you in the right time, and from your testimony, she mentioned about Anya right? We can’t leave this out, so there is a high possibility Ambrosia is involved.”
Damon had a hunch but hearing this personally still made him furious. He could not believe this happened pass him. These foolish people, looks like they have so many time in there hands that they don’t mind getting in trouble.
He also felt frustrated. His woman was continuously getting in danger in his watch. So, he can’t blame Anya if she felt dissatisfied. He needed to protect her more. To care for her more meticulously.
The stupid people around him is really driving him mad.
He can’t let this be anymore. He needed to let them know what happens when they offend the boss.
