Trouble in Heels

Episode 2

Annabelle walked towards her apartment where she stayed with her silently thinking about her ordeal in the hands of strangers.

She recalled everything she had been told and cold only sigh.

"Oh my goodness Anna! Where have you been?" Mrs Laura , Anna's mom who seem to be waiting all day for her eldest daughter pulled into a hug.

Anna just stayed in her mom's embrace not knowing what to say. She wished she'd listen to her mom and not being unfilial.

"Mom was worried about you Anna, she wouldn't move from the gate." Anita added but still no words from Anna.

After what seem like forever she broke away from her mother's hug and faked a smile.

"Nothing of such happened and I'm sorry for worrying you too much." Anna said trying so hard not to break down Infront of her family who cares so much about her.

"You don't look so good hunny you know you can always talk to me yeah?" Mrs Laura couldn't help but feel Anna wasn't in the best of mood.

"No I'm perfectly fine, Let's go in it's freezing out here."she immediately changed the topic and went inside their same apartment and raced all the way to her room.

Once inside her room she finally give in to the tears threatening to fall as she slumped to the floor and cried like never before.

A FEW MOMENTS BACK....

"Marry what? You gotta be kidding me!!" Anna felt her head was gonna explode from so much anger.

"Yes you're gonna be getting married to Lucas and it's not a request. You either do what you're asked to or face the consequences." The mysterious lady smirked and cold eyes piercing holes all over her body.

"And what if I refused to be part of whatever you want?" She boldly asked and the strange lady burst into ripples of laughter.

"Okay fine then I have no choice but to pick your little sister, Anita right?heard she's in highschool or should I pick your mom? She's pretty though. " Anna stared at the strange lady in horror.

"Please leave my family outta this." She mumbled.

"Your family will be left untouched if you submit to me and do what I've asked." Se spoke emotionlessly.

"You sound so confident that he's gonna really marry a nobody like me?" Anna couldn't help her curiosity.

"Oh you don't need to worry about that, when the time is right he'll come to you I'll make sure of that." The determined look in eyes made Anna believe this was no ordinary matter.

Anna was loss of words as she stare at them, left with no options she finally gave a positive review.

"Can I at least think about it and talk to my family about it?" She cautiously selected her words.

After putting everything into consideration she finally agreed to give Anna a week to brace herself.

"Remember you can't run from me else I'm gonna pacify your family."

BACK TO PRESENT.

Anna stayed on the floor for a few minutes before getting back on her feet with an expressionless face and walked towards the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, she stood Infront of the mirror after splashing water on her face.

She knew this was the endgame for her and there was no going back once she agrees to do their deeds.

Argh! She pulled on her hair aggressively as a lone tear rolled down her cheeks. How did it come to this?

On one hand she doesn't wanna be part of any drama of the rich elites but on the other hand was the life of her mom and sister.

Anna had always loved her family so much she was willing to sacrifice her life for her family.

She sigh and began mixing a cold bath, maybe she could be able to clear her head after this.

On the other side.

"Are you sure she's gonna do it?" A man in a Armani two piece suit spoke while sipping his drink unhurriedly.

"Everyone has something that drives and keep them going, something that makes them do what they does? Annabelle is driven by her family so I'm pretty sure she would make the right decisions." The Lady who stood by the floor to ceiling windows.

She had the confident smile plastered all over her face as she formulates plans in her head.

"What about Lucas would he really marry her?" Another man in the office asked with a mocking smile but she wasn't paying much attention to him.

"You do not need to worry about him because he'll definitely marry her so I want you all to make preparations cause it's gonna be one stormy journey." She chuckled and raise her wine glass for a toast.

"Gentlemen please gather around let's toast to the victory at hand." She smiled as she touched wine glasses with the two men present in her office.
