Chapter 83
Anna's POV
I really enjoyed my day, all thanks to this cute man before me who wouldn't stop making me giggle like
a little child. He derives pleasure and happiness from seeing me happy and he is proving to be worth
more than any other man.
I hear the slamming of the front door and I know instantly that someone must have seen us kissing. We
pull away from each other and I look down in embarrassment.
He raises my head with a smirk and pecks my forehead like he always does before going out of the car
to open the door for me.
"Bye, love."
"Bye", I wave at him till he is out of sight. I suddenly feel cold now that he is gone. I hug my body to
myself and walk inside.
I see Aidan sitting on the sofa, crossed legs with blazing red eyes, I know I am in for trouble tonight. I
am sure he was the one who saw us kissing.
"Good evening, Aidan", I greet politely.
"Where the hell are you coming from, Anna?" He asks me instead of replying to my greeting.
He looks up at me and I see him staring at me from head to toe. I felt confident of my dressing earlier
but now that he is watching me intensely with an angry gaze, I feel naked.
"Hmm, I...wa..was out with a friend", I stammer.
"A friend?" He stands up. "Do you kiss every one of your male friends?"
"What?" I open my eyes wide. "Of course not." Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Can you explain what is happening then?"
I know I said I won't be scared of Aidan but now I realize it is a dream far-fetched. His gaze is enough
to make me shudder in fear.
"Tony is...."
"Oh, that is the name? Tony?"
"Tony is my boyfriend", I close my eyes as I answer him. He begins to laugh like a crazy man. When I
open my eyes, I catch a glimpse of Tania and Natalie peeping from a room opposite where I am
standing.
They were trying to pass a message, I see Tania rubbing her hands together and bending down a bit. I
know she is asking me to apologize.
But why? I didn't do anything wrong. Is it a crime to kiss my boyfriend?
"Do you have any idea what you just did? How dare you bring a man into my home and you even had
the gut to kiss him? What kind of woman are you?"
Now I feel like apologizing. I don't want to apologize for kissing Tony, I just want to apologize for
bringing him to his so-called house. I thought he was changing with the way he has been showing me
care for some days now but I am wrong. He is ill-tempered and that will hinder him from becoming
good.
"I'm sorry for bringing him here", I apologize.
"You know what?" I raise my head to gaze at him. "I think I now know who you truly are."
He is thinking the worst of me. He must be thinking this is how I have been doing.
"You are getting the wrong idea, Aidan."
"I am not getting the wrong idea, I am seeing the real you."
"What do you mean? Why are you so bothered about me and Tony? Why are you even bothered about
who I date? How can you forget the rules of the contract you made yourself? Have you forgotten what
you told me yourself? You said I can date anyone I want after the baby is born, why then are you
saying something different now? What the hell is your problem? You were bringing different ladies here,
yet I never complained, why are you complaining about it now? Why can't you let me enjoy my life? I
can't be your slave forever", I shout and want to dash to my room when his statement stops me.
"You want to enjoy your life, right? Even at the detriment of your daughter?"
"My daughter is fine. Why employ the services of a nanny in the first place when you know you want
me to be her nanny?" I turn around to face him. "Don't get on my nerves tonight."
"You are a fucking bitch, Anna!", he yells.
The words resounded in my ears and I almost begin to cry immediately. "And tell that stupid boyfriend
of yours never to step foot in my house. You can get yourself a house and do whatever shit you want to
do there, I don't fucking care!" He fumes.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Aidan just called me a bitch. Just because I want a happy life
by dating someone who loves me.
Am I committing a crime? No, and I won't let him go scot-free.
I walk angrily towards him and slap him across the face. I haven't recovered from the sting of my hand
because of how hard and masculine his face is when I feel a sting on my face too.
I gasp. Aidan slapped me.

Aidan's POV
"Shit!" I curse when I realize the damage I have done. While trying to become a better person, I am still
exhibiting the signs of being a monster, just like my father. I can't believe I retaliated by slapping Anna
back because she slapped me.
I can't believe I have just raised my hand to beat the woman I call my wife and who gave me my first
fruit. I know my mother will not forgive me if she gets to know this. I don't know if Anna can forgive me
for this too and I doubt if I will be able to forgive myself.
What have I done? Why can't I get a hold of my stupid anger? Why do I have to let it control me?
I saw the look of hatred on Anna's face when she looked up at me with her hands on her cheeks. I
really strike her hand and I can see her face turning red instantly.
She dashed to her room as tears began to roll down her eyes. I followed but before I could enter, she
locked the door.
I stare at my big hands. I wish there is something I can do to rewind and stop myself from slapping her.
I regret my actions and I am deeply sorry.
Anna has every right to date another man, she is a woman and she needs a man if I can't be that man
to her, I know this but I keep denying that it is right for her. I don't know why I feel this way but I still
don't want her to date another man.
Am I not man enough? I ask inwardly. I slap myself mentally when I realize what I just said within me.
Anna and I can't be together. She hates me and I don't like.....
I sigh deeply and hit the door once again.
Natalie and Tania appear from nowhere and I become ashamed of myself. They must have seen what
happened.
"Just go, we will talk to her, sir. She will be fine", Natalie says.
Tania is avoiding my gaze and I am thinking it is either because she doesn't want to say what is on her
mind about what happened because I am her boss or she is damn mad at me for what happened.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do what I did. I was just angry..."
"It's ok, sir. Just go. Tania and I will handle it. We know it happened in the heat of the moment." She
shows her understanding.
"Thank you", I feel stupid, foolish, and lost.
"Plead with her on my behalf. I didn't mean to do this." I repeat.
They nod and I walk away from the door, watching them. They knock for a while for Anna to open the
door but she didn't.
When I am tired of standing with the hope that she will open the door for them, I hurry to my room.
An idea suddenly takes form in my head and I know if Anna doesn't talk to Natalie or Tania, she will
definitely open up and talk to one person, Pamela.
Checking the time, I pick up my phone to call Pamela.
