Seeing Alvin follow her, Anya couldn't help but turn him and push him towards the car, "Don't you have any work? Why are you following me? Go and do your work." Her struggling voice sounded, failing to push the man who stood like a rock.
Alvin just turned around, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and took her inside the gate. He would have left if her friend hadn't abandoned her abruptly.
Anya was helpless against him. Stepping inside the gates, her attention shifted quickly. Her head titled looking at the clean lawn and new plants, "You did this?"
Alvin didn't respond yet she got the response in silence. She could only sigh, accepting that he was active behind her back. It warmed her heart thinking that he always keep her things in his mind.
Alvin tugged her closer seeing her pout for earning no response.
Anya wrapped her arm around his waist to balance herself and walked. She felt something more different and lifted her head. Her lips twitched uncontrollably when her eyes fell on the corner glass protector at the terrace.
Her mood started to sour. Initially, she thought he might have asked somebody to clean it. But glass… She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts that were making her uncomfortable.
Anya wouldn't mind taking some help but she wanted to take her home. She wanted to scold him for doing it without asking her but seeing his half face, the words drowned in her throat.
She could understand he was trying to help her, decreasing the load on her. But she felt like she started carrying something heavy on her shoulders.
Rather than running around from place to place, asking and arranging for people to prepare the villa for living, Alvin asked his men to get it done so that she could focus on him and herself.
That way, he also wanted to reduce the pressure of finance on her. Seeing her fall silent, he let her take a look inside.
Uneasily, Anya opened the door of the villa and froze. Everything wasn't just spick and span, the villa looked like a luxurious five-star hotel.
Her body turned cold as ice. She started shaking while her eyes darted everywhere without focusing on anything. She felt suffocated to stand a second in her villa, her new home.
She didn't feel like she got the villa for her and Zane, rather Alvin was getting it. The images of landlords demanding her to vacate the houses, Zane crying and asking her to get inside their home, and shivering outside on a snowy night with Zane in her arms started playing in her mind like a vicious cycle.
Alvin was also seeing the changes in the villa for the first time. Everything from small details to the couch was top-notch. "Look around. If you don't like something, we will have it changed." He said, giving her a gentle push. He went inside without noticing her changes.
Anya tried hard to compose by coming out of her thoughts and telling him that she didn't like anything. She couldn't afford anything he had arranged. She wanted everything simple. But her breathing twitched, her eyes stung, and eventually, she was short on breath feeling incapable.

She lifted her leg to get in but she took a step back and ran away, trying to breathe.
Alvin looked at the painting on the wall. Recalling Anya and Zane's pictures in her previous villa, "Let's remove this. Put your pictures…" He turned around and saw nobody inside, "Little Donut?" He was perplexed.

He didn't feel like she went inside to any rooms so he went out to see nobody on the lawn. He went to find her.
Outside, Rob noticed Anya running out. "Ms. Owen…" He stood without knowing if he should go behind her and get inside where Alvin was.
Anya tried to breathe after getting out but she couldn't. Tears rolled down her face while her body continued to quiver.
She just has to tell Alvin to remove everything. 'What's wrong with me?'
Krystle, who was driving slowly, looking at the regency, noticed Anya running on the footpath. She didn't feel like Anya was alright. Slamming on the brakes, she got out of the car and ran towards her, "Annie…"
Krystle caught Anya by arms, asking worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Linus, who was right behind Krystle in a different car, got tensed seeing her run. He got off and went behind her.
Anya struggled to voice what was happening, "I-I can't b-breathe." She was also feeling dizzy.
Krystle recalled the anxiety attacks when Anya was pregnant. She had many questions to ask but she didn't. She held back her questions and hugged Anya. She gently rubbed her back and cued Linus to stay away.
"I am here. Try to breathe slowly. Take a long breath…" She continued to guide her, calm her.
Linus, who barely noticed Anya, started worrying about his brother and Anya, wondering what must have happened. He looked at the Rolls Royce and noticed Alvin coming out of the gates. He went towards him hurriedly,
"Bro…" Linus stopped in front of Alvin and questioned him hurriedly, "Why does Sister-in-law look upset? Did you guys fight?"
'Upset? Did she get upset…' Alvin glanced at the villa. He expected her to scold him and ask him to remove some stuff. But he didn't expect her to get upset over the change
Linus sighed like an exhausted father looking at Alvin's faint frowns. He is aware Alvin could be unreasonable. Alvin would do anything to make things his way but relationships are too sensitive.
"What have you done? Bro, it isn't like Sister-in-law is running away. What did you do?" He slapped his forehead.
Alvin noticed Krystle taking Anya away and his face darkened. He could handle her anger more than avoidance. Seeing her leave, saying nothing to him, "Rob…" His voice was deadly cold.
Rob got in the car quickly. Linus was alarmed witnessing his brother's reaction, "Ohhhh wait, wait… Bro, don't scare away Sister-in-law. Why don't you call her first?" He tried to cool him down so that thinking doesn't go out of hand due to anger.
'Beep… Beep…' Both of their mobiles beeped.
[Got something to do, I will see you at your place.] Anya was indirectly telling him to go back to the Oasis mansion.
[Taking Annie out.] Krystle just gave heads up to Linus.

Alvin visibly cooled but he was still annoyed for leaving out of the blue as soon as Krystle came. Controlling his urge to follow them, he got in the car saying, "Oasis."

Linus: "..."
Rolling his eyes, he went to check out the villa. After looking inside, Linus easily guessed the reason for Anya's reaction.
—–––––
In the car,
Krystle asked, seeing Anya pressing her throbbing head, "Did Alvin try to do something to you?" She considered physical intimacy must have caused her anxiety attack.
Anya grimaced in pain, without understanding why she was recalling nonsense. "Nooo…"
"Gianna?"

Anya shook her head and tried to sit calmly. She has to speak with Alvin and she would be fine. He will understand her, "Krystie, I am fine now. Let's go back."
"No. We are seeing a psychologist today." She just has to prepone their appointment.
"But…"
"No buts…" She snapped at her friend before cooling down. "Annie, you have to get treated for PTSD." Anya had been through a lot of terrifying events. Krystle truly hoped for her to get over those bad memories and lead a happy life, "Be good."
Anya pouted, holding her head feeling dizzy. She was getting panic attacks when Zane was in her womb and she was getting those threats or recalling those events. This was the first time after her pregnancy.

At Imperial Hospital,
Doctor Benson was passing by in a lobby when his eyes fell on Anya who was closing her eyes, pressing her head.
He was the physician of Alvin, his housekeeper, butler, and Linus. Considering Anya as Alvin's girlfriend, he immediately called Alvin, "Mr. Matthews, Ms. Owen has come to our hospital. Should I…"
He heard Alvin's grave voice, [Drive to Imperial Hospital. NOW.]
Benson shook his head in resignation when the call ended abruptly. Without words, he knew Alvin's instructions. He looked at his assistant and instructed, "Look into why she has come to the hospital. Direct her to the specialist."
