Anna’s POV
Mrs Rander showed me my room, which will be shared with Adrian. As I walked into the room, I noticed that everything was in order; it was a simple but tidy space. I dashed into the bathroom to freshen up. I took a shower and changed into my nightgown it was already late evening. I combed my hair. Then I exited my room and walked down the stairs. I was just considering making something for myself and Adrain. Just something to start a conversation with him to get to know him better. Mrs Rander told me about his favourite foods, and I thought of making a few tonight.
Everything is almost ready. I smiled to myself, but then I heard a voice in the living room.
"Mrs Rander, Please get my usual Matcha tea for me in the study room."
Adrain has returned home, Awesome! I'll make his favourite tea for him and serve it to him in the study room, I thought.
And then I quickly made his tea, and the study room was open, so I stepped inside, where I noticed his back was turned toward me. For the first time, I addressed him by name.
“Hey Adrain, your tea” With a smile, I said.
“What the f**k are you doing here?” He turned to face me, frowning. It was the first time we had spoken, and he yelled at me. I saw hatred and rage in his eyes.
I stood there, wondering what went wrong. I liked him the first time I met him, and I still do. I agreed to marry Adrain for Richard and because I like him; I know it's a surprise for both of us because we've never had much of a chance to talk, but I'm not a complete stranger to him. Why is he so angry now that he agreed to this marriage? He could simply have refused to marry me. Was it imposed on him? Was he compelled to marry me? Richard told me Adrain agreed to the marriage, but he didn't say he forced him.
I just stood in front of Adrain, and tears streamed down my cheeks. I was lost in my thoughts for a brief moment.
He yelled again, “f*****g leave this room right now.” I started shivering when I heard that loud voice, and I could see rage and anger on his face. His eyes alone told me that he despised me.
I left the room after placing the tray on the side table, humiliated and insulted. As I walked out, I noticed Mrs Rander in the corner, looking at me with pity and sympathy. I went into my room and shut the door.
I sobbed uncontrollably. I'm not sure why he's so upset. Did I marry him for this reason? For him to treat me this way? Is it possible that I made a mistake... And when I couldn't hold back my scream any longer, I buried my face in the pillow and screamed.
