Chapter: 19

****

A lonely tear escaped from her eye and she wiped it quickly. She has been standing on the balcony for so long. It was already night here. She can't forget how Mrs. Miller again tried to mock Anna and Ivan being furious about this, brought her back to their room and they had their dinner in the room.

The silence was pricking in her ears but nowadays, it became her friend. Liam too came to their room after dinner and he wholeheartedly apologized to Anna for his mother's behavior. He was actually not expecting his mother to humiliate Anna that much.

He was bewildered with her guessing why she did that?

Tonight, Mrs. Miller called her a cheap middle-class girl who just abducted their son to get money and a luxurious life. That hurt Anna hard. They didn't even know that she was the one who was forced to marry Ivan.

But even after having a huge argument with Mrs. Miller in the noon, Ivan again argued with her on the same topic. By that time, Anna could see that Mrs. Miller's eyes watery as if she was hurt the way Ivan talks to her.

But Ivan could never treat her like a mom. For him, she was the woman who ruined his childhood and his family. All of him. He completely broke the day she entered Ivan's life. He was damaged beyond repair, ruined beyond restoration. And, Anna could see that.

Anna's breath hitched she felt hands on her waist. She turned around only to find him behind herself. He was looking at her with emotionless eyes. His aura was the same. frank and straightforward.

"Why are you standing here? Go to sleep," His chocolatic dark voice mixed with the air leaving her complex. She recollected her tone to speak to him. She knew she won't get to sleep till she actually gets to talk to him.

"I...Umm.. I wanted to say thanks for tonight," She finally murmured slowly as they were already standing in an ear-piercing silence at midnight. The moonlight which was mixing with her milk-white skin started sparkling her features.

She was looking like a moon goddess.

"Thanks?" He repeated, his tone vibrated from his throat giving her huskier vibes. He was standing close to her. His perilous proximity. That she can feel his hot breaths on her forehead. She frowned looking down fidgeting with her fingers. She doesn't what she was feeling.

She just wants to thank him for supporting her.

For standing for her.

By her side.

"Yeah, tonight you stood for me on the dining hall and also, in the noon, for me," She said earning a throating scoff from her which made her bewildered. He took a step further towards her making her back off and she leaned on the balcony.
