Chapter 44 - The Flu {}

"Yes, who are you?" He asked me, sounding very rude.

"I'm Ashley Hayes, I'm his fianceè. Listen, I need you to get here as soon as you possibly can because he looks really bad!" I said into the phone, my voice coming out laced with desperation.

"I'll be there right away, Miss Hayes." He said before ending the call.

"He's coming, love, he's coming," I whispered as I stroked his forehead gently and ran my fingers through his silky hair.

The doctor arrived and treated Brandon. He checked him up and gave me some instructions to look after him. Brandon had come down with the flu and it would take him a few days to recover.

"Thank you Dr. Zander!" I said as the doctor left.

"You're welcome, Miss Hayes!" He called over his shoulder and I watched him go into the elevator.

I shut and locked the door and headed to Brandon's room

"You still haven't answered me about Anna," I said

"She's not important!" He grunted.

I sighed, "Brandon, I read those three texts! Why was she demanding that you to come over to her house?" I hissed.

"Why were you invading my privacy? It isn't any of your business Ashley, drop it already!"

"I'm your damned fianceè! I have a right to know who the hell this Anna chic is!" I screamed at him.

"I have a headache and don't feel like dealing with this." He spat as he got out of his bed hurriedly.

I saw him getting dressed in another Armani suit.

"What do you think you are doing?" I demanded, glaring at him, "You promised!"

"Promised what Ashley?"

"At Hunter and Claire's house, you promised that you'd tell me about Anna. You promised!" I said.

"Look, you being nosy and snooping around in my phone isn't welcomed by me. If I don't want to share who Anna is I don't have to!" He hissed.

"Why Brandon? Why? What are you hiding from me?" I said as hot tears rolled down my cheeks.

I hears him sigh as he sat on the bed, "Don't cry." He whispered.

"You're the one that made me cry," I whimpered trying to wipe the tears off.

"Look I'm sorry, I still firmly believe that you shouldn't have touched my phone or gone through my texts." He said.

"As I stated earlier, I'm your fianceè, Brandon! I deserve to know what goes on in your life. Just answer me this... are you cheating on me?" I said and braced myself for any answer that could be thrown my way.

"No. No, Ashley, I'm not cheating on you." He said.

"Okay," I said.

"She's a lady that gets abused by her ex-husband. She's got the cutest little boy who's about three years old. I just help her by buying groceries, paying his school fees, and making sure that she attends her therapy. I also make sure that the police keep her ex-husband restrained, you wouldn't be able to stomach the images of her after he's done beating her up!

"I couldn't allow such cruelty to keep on happening. I met Anna on the streets one night, her stomach was ripped open and blood was flowing out while her small son cried over her body. I drove her to the hospital and obviously cared for Christo, her son. I then couldn't allow her to go back to him, I bought her a small apartment so that she could stay in and also raise her son in peace.
