Sat back in his position after pushing Anna's body roughly, Brian didn't say a word, took out a cigarette then took a sip, instantly the car was filled with the man's cigarette smoke and managed to make Anna a little suffocated, and the man didn't care at all.
"Where's your cell phone?" said Brian suddenly.
"What for?"
"Do I have to have a reason to hold your phone?"
Anna was silent.
"Give it to me," said the man again.
With a feeling of hesitation, Anna handed her cell phone to Brian.
"Today onwards you no longer need to go to that man's house, and stay at my house," Brian said again.
It took Anna a few seconds to digest the man's words.
"I can't. I don't want to."
One of Brian's eyebrows rose, "Refuse?"
"N-no, I mean, what about my son? And also Naila, I can't possibly leave them."
"You don't have to think about them," Brian replied curtly.
Anna wanted to speak again, but the man's hand immediately went up, signaling her to be quiet.
Even so, Anna still ventured, "I also work Brian," said Anna immediately.
"The only thing you need to think about right now is me, Anna. Not your son, your job, or anything. You understand?"
Anna was silent, feelings of irritation, worry, and fear mixed into one.
"Whereas you already have other women, I'm sure there are so many women around you who are prettier and better than me, why do you keep torturing me like this?" Anna grumbled, but her words still reached Brian's ears.
"Our relationship also ended five years ago, and I no longer have any feelings for you," he added.
Brian who heard the woman continue to mutter immediately refused, "You want to know why I came back looking for you?" she asked, looking at Anna sharply.
"That's because I love you," Brian said. 'And also because something who I have to do it,' he added.
"If you don't have feelings for me anymore, that's your business." An answer that sounds very selfish, right?
"You've had those feelings for me before, you can try again," Brian said again then chuckled.
Anna was silent, it had never occurred to her all this time that the man she had been in a relationship with had this trait, why had she not realized it long ago?
The woman did not speak again until the car she was traveling in stopped at a restaurant that looked very luxurious.
It looks very quiet around, even though it's already lunchtime.
"Get off," Brian said after the car door opened, his hand reached out to help the woman, but was immediately pushed aside by Anna making Brian grip her arm very hard, climb back into the car and push Anna violently against the seat.
"I don't like being rejected," Brian said again, pulling Anna's hair tightly and bringing her face closer to his, then kissed her roughly.
Again Anna grimaced, the man was again very rude to her.
"Don't expect me to treat you well if you keep rejecting me, Anna. I don't like it," Brian said.
"Every time you refuse or disobey, then you will feel the consequences right away, you understand? Don't forget the existence of your son," said the man again getting out of the car, leaving Anna.
"Miss, please get off," said a man who was about Brian's age, the man who had been their driver since earlier. The clothes he wore were very neat, complete with a black tuxedo, as if the man was not a typical driver, and not as simple as he seemed.
The way he spoke also sounded very dignified and a little classy? different from Mr. Hendra or Mr. Deden who were at Devan's house, not because the two middle-aged men did not look authoritative, it was just that Anna felt that there were differences in some parts.
"Thank you," replied Anna slightly smoothing her hair.
"Let me take you, Miss," said the man again.
Anna just nodded, then walked a step slower than the man.
"Okay, so where are we going, Kevin?" Anna repeated.
"Mr. Brian wants to take you to lunch first Miss before going home," Kevin replied.
"Going home? Where does Brian live now?"
"You'll find out later, Miss," Kevin replied.
Anna nodded, "May I ask you something, Kevin?"
"Please, Miss. I will answer as long as it is within the scope of my knowledge."
"Have you worked with Brian long?"
"It's been almost four years, Miss," Kevin replied.
"Where did you work before?" asked Anna curiously.
"Before, I was Mr. Javier's assistant, Miss."
"Mr. Javier?"
"The foster-father of Mr. Brian," Kevin answered immediately.
Anna paused for a moment, but only for a few seconds, and continued again. She didn't recall hearing this name from Brian, nor did she know since when the man had adoptive parents.
"Did something happen, Miss?" Kevin asked when he felt the change in the expression of the woman.
"Ah, no, it's fine," replied Anna immediately.
Kevin just nodded faintly, they turned and then entered the restaurant, a building dominated by modern gold nuanced interiors.
Not a single customer entered Anna's view, all the tables and chairs in the room were empty.
.Brian was the only one in the middle of the vast room, sitting alone with a sharp look as if he wanted to skin herself.
"Hurry up, honey," Brian said.
Hearing that, Anna quickened her pace.
As for Kevin, the man stopped his steps and turned out of the room.
Seeing that Anna was only a few steps away, Brian then stood up from his position and pulled the chair for the woman, and then returned to his original position.
It is a very sweet sight. Yes, those who saw him probably would not have guessed that it turned out that the man often hurt the woman he was with.
Only a few seconds later, a waitress greeted them and then served appetizers.
Until dessert was served, no discussion was heard.
Both Brian and Anna were silents.
"Eat this one," Brian said then handed Anna a dessert.
Anna didn't respond and just accepted it. Afraid to refuse and the man again treated her rudely.
"Good. If you are obedient like this, I can guarantee you and your son will be safe," said Brian smiling.
"Ah yes, I have a question for you, honey," he added after a few seconds of silence.
Anna who heard that somehow became a little scared.
"How can you have a son from that man?" Brian asked and it made Anna's body stiffen.
How did Brian know all that? Whereas, she never told this to anyone.
