My new enemy

Sarah POV
I clenched my fist in anger as I walked to and fro the room. I couldn't believe what just happened. That brat challenged me.
"Luna, how dare you talk back at me" I half yelled and pushed down the flower vase which laid uselessly on the table.
I let out a loud laugh, trying my best not to do anything silly. I will have to get rid of Luna, I have a feeling that she will pose as a threat to I and my son in this house.
Just then, Daniel rushed in. "What is wrong mum? Jeez! Why did you break the vase?" He asked, worriedly.
" It is that luna's fault? Ugh. She is really annoying. I just hate her " I hissed and sat on the sofa.
" Luna? Who is Luna?" I asked, confused.
"The lady Mark brought home"
"Oh! What did she do?" He inquired.
"That witch raised her voice at me. I don't really like her and for some strange reasons, I feel that she will push Mark to start working again"
" Come on mum. That is not even possible, You are just overreacting." He waved me off. " Moreover, I find Isabel
cute" He smirked.
I shot him a dead glare. " I know you always go after anything in skirt but Luna is an exception. She is our enemy and must be treated as such"
" Fine mum. So what should we do about her?"
" Don't worry about that..I will come up with a plan to push her away from Mark and this house for good"
" If you say so" He shrugged.
Poor Luna. She shouldn't have made me her enemy because I don't think twice when crushing those who dares to go against me.
Luna's POV
"You shouldn't have spoken to her in such manner.. That woman is evil and you wouldn't want to get in her bad book" Mark scolded with his eyes focused on the busy road.
"I am not scared of her." I snorted. "But why did you keep quiet when she threatened you with your dad?"
He hesitated.
" It's okay if you don't want to tell me" I forced a smile.
" My dad blackmailed me into accepting his new family or he would burn down every thing that reminds me of my mum" Mark said.
Huh? But Mr Peter never told me about this.
"But that is too harsh" I exclaimed.
"Harsh?. I don't think so" he shrugged.
I looked at him, confused. "You don't think so?"
" Yes.. he is only trying to protect those he loves which obviously excludes I and my sister. "
" Don't say that. Your dad loves you and Jessica"
"That's what I keep on telling myself before but I just realized I was wrong."
" No Mark.. Your dad really loves you, I am sure there must be reasons behind whatever decisions he takes"
Without notice, he suddenly brought the car to a halt causing me to jerk forward with a gasp.
" If he has ever loved me then he wouldn't have brought those people into our home" Mark said through gritted teeth. " Stop taking his side, it's driving me crazy"
Phew! It will be really difficult to convince him that his dad still loves him.
"Okay fine. And don't worry, I will protect you" I said with a pat on his back.
He scoffed and ignited the car's engine again.
Jerk.
I let out a deep breath of relief when the car finally stopped before the confectionery. This was the same place where we ate dinner the last time.
We both got down and walked into the huge building. There were many seats and tables which were occupied by humans with different kinds of food on their table.
Dave walked over to one of the tables and sat down. I followed suit and sat opposite him. He beckoned unto a man dressed in uniform.
"What do you want, Luna?" Mark asked.
"Huh? Oh.. same as yours. " I grinned and he gave me a confused look.
"You're weird" He muttered and turned to the waiter.
"Two plates of macaroni and cheese"
" Okay sir. I will be right back" The waiter replied and hurried off.
After a while, the man returned with our orders. I couldn't remember what Mark called it but it tasted so delicious.
We both silently devoured the meal.
If mum was here, I am sure she would have lectured me on the importance of not eating much and keeping a fit body as a princess.
As soon as we finished eating, the man on uniform returned again and cleared the table after taking some money from Mark.
"Hey Mark." A young man accompanied by a lady walked up to our table. It was Charles, the guy Mark introduced to me as his best friend.
"Charles. what are you doing here?" Mark exclaimed with excitement as they both exchanged a handshake.
"I decided to take my girlfriend out today" Charles replied, pointing to the lady beside him.
" Meet Anna and Anna meet my best friend.. "
"Mark" Anna interrupted.
"Oh.. you've already met?"
"No..I have heard a lot about him from my friends" Anna blushed.
" Looks like you are popular" Charles said and they bursted out laughing.. " Oh sorry Luna, I didn't see you there. Anna meet Luna, Mark's guardian angel"
Mark scoffed.
" Hi" Anna forced a smile.
I felt my heart missed a beat when our eyes met. It was a strange feeling and I knew that it was definitely something for me to worry about. " Hi"
"Can the four of us sit for a lunch?" Martin offered.
"We would love to but we just finished eating and we were about leaving before you both walked in"
" Oh too bad. Maybe next time"
" Sure"
I and Mark trodded outside as I kept remincing on my meeting with Anna. She didn't look like a bad person and her innocent smile said it all. But I didn't know why I felt odd around her.
"What are you thinking?" Mark asked as we both settled down in the car.
"Uhm. Nothing important"
"If you say so" He shrugged and ignited the car's engine.
I turned to him shocked. How could he just give up so quick? Isn't he supposed to insist until I share whatever is bothering me with him?
I hissed and let out a sigh as he drove off.
