Anna started living with Robert after she had signed the contract. Roberts went on to introduce his new wife to his parents, most especially his father. He took Anna to the living room, calling his parents to come see his bride. “Father, mother, allow me to introduce my bride to you. Her name is Anna,” Robert said, talking to his parents. “wow what a quick one you see if I hadn't done what I did you wouldn't have the plans to get married so you have to give a five star for this” Mr. Robinson said and laughed “now I would be expecting my grandchildren, well, you can go back to work it was a fake letter I had to do it because I knew that was your weakest point that was why I had to do it for you to start a married life” Mr. Robinson said “Jeez, what a nice try, but I have to start a married life. I said thank you dad, let me show her everywhere in the house” Robert said, standing up to leave. “If you wanted any help, I would be glad to help you Walk around,” Mrs. Robinson said, talking to Anna. The more Anna understood the severity of pressure around him, it became clear he had joined up for marriage straight after university simply to escape his circumstances. Gone were the duty and repressed pain from behind his eyes, replaced with a hint of vulnerability she could not remember seeing before. "Why did you choose me?" Her voice was gentle, curious but low: Anna. Daniel pauses for a second and thinks of how to explain his feelings. When he finally did speak, his eyes were sheer determination... meet hers. Anna, I didn't have much of a choice. I had no other choice but to accept my father's ultimatum. I had to protect what was mine, even if it meant entering into this agreement with you. It was poignant enough to make Anna limp with sympathy for him because she could see how serious his plight had really been. Obviously, darling," came her loaded response with a heavy heart - "Do you reckon we can pull this off? We, pretending to be authentic without any confusion or hurt-between faze in the process? He stretched his arm out, reached for her hand to hold hers gently but tight enough. I simply do not know what is in store for me, Anna. I just know that I want to try. I want to do right by my legacy, and not only that I... think there's more at play here than we see. Anna looked into his eyes and found what she was looking for, a spark of hope and truthfulness that warmed her soul. In that single instant, she learned their new road had only begun: filled with doubts and difficulties yes but also potential actualities. “Why are you standing there? Come drop your bags and let me show you and tell you everything you need to know about me and my family,” Robert said in a little harsh voice. He pointed her to the room where she had to go keep her bag simply because they wanted their parents to think whether they were a real couple, so he had to take her to his room. “ Just keep your bags and follow me around. It would be a pleasure to satisfy you” “I just came here for the job why showing me what I don't need to know” Anna said “shh just don't say that here again my parents don't know we aren't really a couple okay just behave yourself and do the job well then you can leave” Robert said. “okay I understand but promise I am free to move and go anywhere I like” Anna said “I can't tie your two legs besides I am not even really your husband so why do I hold you back if you need to go anywhere” Robert said. Not long after they were walking around the residence, a calm came in by his secretary, who was his cousin's brother who worked under him. He was informed that it was an urgent meeting and needed to be there as soon as possible. “Hey my lady, go wear something good like an office costume. You are following me to a meeting. I am just giving you some minutes to do so okay I wouldn't wait for you that long” Robert said “Okay hope is a good one it would be a pleasure to follow you my king” Anna said laughing. “Okay I would be waiting, I would also go in to put on something nice too” Robert said, giving her a peck beside her cheek because he saw his father at the corner, ignorant to Anna why he did so. A few minutes later, they both come outside to rate their dressing. Anna was wearing long flex trousers with a suit jacket with a high heel black shoe and sunglasses with her fitted make-up. Her lips were printed red, which brought out more beauty in her. While Robert was putting on a black suit and a black shoe which was his favorite and also putting on sunglasses. “Can we go my lady” Roberts said “Okay my man” Anna said. Roberts opened the car to let her in so they could go to their destination? A few minutes later, they arrived at the meeting. Being the chairman of the meeting, he asked his bride to stay by his side to take note of all that would happen today in the meeting. Suddenly, Anna and Alex's eyes jammed together, leaving them seeing from eyebrows to eyebrows, but Anna acted like he didn't exist and never knew him. It had been a while since she last saw her ex-boyfriend and didn't know why he was here. Alex, who was curious to know why she was here and what she was here for. He was very surprised to see her, but he didn't have anything to do about it. He watched both the couple chat together, he was in pain seeing his first time love sitting by his worst enemy and his rival business. “How could I be so stupid to let you go, and now this so-called Robert has come for you, must have to know if truly she is his wife? I must get to the bottom of this' 'Alex said, looking continuously at the both of them. “ the meeting is over now you all can go to your different destination” As the meeting had been concluded, Alex followed Anna to her car. He held her hand? “Hi Anna it has been a while since we last saw each month what could you be doing here” Alex asked “I am here for a meeting, so, as you are, I am here with my darling husband” Anna said, knowing he would be jealous if she said so. “What did you get married to? Robert so soon wow I can't believe it” Anna replied with praises of Robert“yes I am okay. He is my one, and only. I love him. I cherish him. Furthermore, I need him. Furthermore, I wanted him in my life. “ Just stop it you didn't even wait a little bit for me to come to you” Alex said “After all you did to me, you must have some problem upstairs” she said courageously, not minding the kind of person he was. “and who do we have here” they both turned their faces and positioned it to the direction where they heard the voice, and it was Roberts.
