I finished explaining everything to him. Without even seeing his face, I can say he is extremely pissed. He clenched his Jaws tightly which made his cheeks bulge out."Bloody son of a bitch! He lured you into his den using my name! That Bastard! I'm going to choke his neck with my bare hands. So this is why you are damn upset and angry?"I nodded half-heartedly."Why you didn't say me the truth?" He looked at me with anger, "Why the fuck you hid this with me?""Scaring exactly about this reaction. You will kill him in the spot"."Then, what the hell did you expect me to do?" He crossed his arms against his strong chest, "Boast about his cunning plan which made you relieve the bad memories again?""Chris..." I tried to explain.He raised his hands to stop me, "There is nothing to explain, Ana. Yesterday night when you said our life, I truly believed you meant it. But still, you are not ready to erase that fucking line"."No! No! No! I didn't..." I neared him, "No Chris, I swear I didn't mean to do this purposely...I...I didn't want you to take any wrong steps and spoil your name or future. You know how evil that bastard is".He took a step away from me, "Of course, now I'm going to do that. If you explained this matter by yourself, I would've dealt this is in a calm manner. But now, he is going to die or he'll be behind the bars" he slammed the door to bathroom going inside.Crap! This is not gonna end in a good manner. I don't wanna him to get into any trouble. I waited for him to explain this, after few minutes he came out with a wrapped towel around his waist, "Chris..." I called out his name.He didn't care to stop, he went inside running hands through his hair. I let out a breath and followed him. He closed the door of the closet to my face. Hey! Jerk! I mumbled.I showered and came out of the room. In the kitchen, Chris, James, and another guy were there. Chris was sitting on a chair with his elbow resting on the countertop listening intently to what James saying. He was wearing a salmon pink long sleeve shirt and black jeans. James and the other guy were wearing a dark black t-shirt and pants.James stopped talking looking at me. Chris turned his head back to look at me. He turned immediately to the other guy, "Lawrence, she is Ana".He stood up from his chair and came near me, "Ana, he is Lawrence. Your new security guard" he commanded rather than informing it."Chris..." I tried to oppose it."I said he is your security guard" he spoke firmly compelling me to accept.Alright! He never gonna listen to what I'll say. He turned back to James, "James! I've been asking you to track that bloody random number he is speaking with".He became reluctant, "Chris...umm...with that...I'm trying to track...it...""Bull shit!" He shouted on top of his lungs. It took a second to sense us to inhale that tension, "You've been trying to track that for months. What the fuck are you doing? Is that difficult for you to trace that single number? Why the hell I am paying you? Did you became ignorant or too lazy to work your ass?" He stopped for a breath, "Listen" he snapped his finger, "Your deadline is over. I want the name of that number within a day. If you can't, don't show your face to me, understand?" He roared.He swallowed hard, "Okay boss, I got it"."Chris, don't show your anger on me to him" I warned him."No, I'm not" he replied in a word and headed towards the bedroom, "Be ready, I'll be in a minute".I turned towards James, "James, I'm so sorry on behalf of him. He...is pissed at me and reflecting that on you"."No, Ana...it's my fault. He's been asking for months and I swear I didn't become lethargic. That sneaky son of a bitch is too smart. That's why I couldn't find him"."You will" I assured him, "But don't let Chris's words inside your mind".He smiled, "I've never seen him this angry".I licked my lips, "I know" I smiled. Even though, he is mad at me. I understood this is another way of him showing his love for me. He was scared that he gonna lose me.He came back with a bag, "Listen, Lawrence, You should never take eyes off her even for a minute, understood?""Yes, Mr. Rovan" he nodded firmly.James and he left the room leaving me and Lawrence. Lawrence, he must be in his mid-thirties. A white man with brown hair. Depending upon his looks and accent I can say he is from Texas. He is double the size of James and looked huge like a mountain."Umm...Lawrence, what he asked you to do?"He replied in a bold and deep voice, "I must follow you everywhere you go".Great! Very Great!Jamie came inside my cabin and took a seat in front of me asking, "Ana, when did you start to hire a Terminator for you?" He teased me.Lawrence was standing out of the cabin since morning. He never moved an inch away from the place he was standing.I rolled my eyes at Jamie, "I'm still encouraging me to laugh at this joke"."Who is that giant outside?""Ugh...he is arranged by Chris for my security purposes".I explained to him what happened."Ana, I can't blame Chris for this. He's right, even I feel that urge to kill him"."Psst...okay it's my fault for hiding this from him. Now, can you tell me how to dispose of that guy outside who is texting an hour once to Chris about my whereabouts?""Well, I won't blame him. This is good for you"."Since when you started to take his side? You are my friend, you should take my side" I stared at him."What?" He shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just saying what is right in this thing. I support Chris in this" he raised his hands.I sighed, "Jamie!" I sounded defeated, "I just don't wanna him to end in any trouble. You know how wicked is that Collin is"."Yeah, I agree" Jamie admitted, "I heard that he ruined a life of a football player only for a stupid bet"."See this is what I'm completely worried about. What if he does the same to Chris?"Someone knocked on my cabin. We both looked at the door, it's Tim, "Ummm...sorry to interrupt guys. I have some news which I need approval from you"."Keep it on my table. I'll verify and call you back".I faced Jamie again while Tim placing the papers on my table, "Jamie, you should tell me how to handle this thing".Tim's elbow pushed my handbag on the floor, spilling the contents inside them."I'm...I'm so sorry...Thomas. I'll...I'll clear this in a minute" he apologized and bend down to pick up the bags."Tim, you have to be careful"."So...so...sorry" he rapidly collected the stuff and zipped them again. He left the cabin immediately once again apologizing.After we ensure he left, Jamie spoke, "Well, I have an idea. But I think you won't like it"."What is it?" I asked eagerly.He explained it to me.I came back to our house only after sunset. Chris was already there cooking something in the kitchen. He was in a black polo t-shirt and grey boxers. Fuck! Why the hell couldn't stay mad at him.I went near him removing my shoer and snaked my arms around his waist from behind, "Chris, I'm sorry".He didn't answer and stirred something on the pan. I placed small kisses behind his neck, "I'm so sorry...I promise that I won't do this again".He took a heavy breath. I smiled to myself, it's working. I moved a bit closer to him and kissed his shoulder raising myself in heels, "I'm sorry" I hissed seductively.I moved my arms up and stopped at his chest, "Fine, what do you want me to do?"After few seconds, he turned back and cupped my cheeks, "Never do that fuck again. You need to know how important you are to me"."No, I won't do that again" I kissed his lips."I'm the first person you should reach anything happens, okay?" He kissed back.I smirked, "Not even, Jamie?"He wrapped his arms around my waist, "No...no...it should be me" he shrugged his shoulders, "After me, he can be the one".I chuckled and kissed him back, "It's a deal then" I ran my hand through his hair pulling him closer to me."I'm too sorry for my jerk behavior"."Wanna make it up for that?"He smiled devilishly, "I can't see a reason to say no".He took me in his arms and we headed to our bedroom. While he undressed me, I smelled something burning, "Chris, something is burning".He stopped kissing and thought for a second, "Shit!" He cursed under his breath and ran to the kitchen. I followed him.That something he stirred in the pan was burning letting out a cloud of smoke. He turned off the stove and placed the utensils on the sink pouring water into it. It let out a heavy smoke with a sound zzz...smoke alarm beeped and started to sprinkle water before we can turn it off.He stood only with his boxers and directly below the sprinkler. So he got wet and water ran down from his ripped bare chest. I chuckled and joined him. We both looked at each other and laughed."I love you, Ana" he hugged me."Love you too, Christopher".We made out until the water sprinkler stopped.Meanwhile Tim,   Tim called Collins. He answered it in a ring, "Yes, Tim?""Sir, she is considering exposing you"."What?""I placed a bug in her handbag to listen to what she is talking and what I heard was she is ready to come forward to the public that she is your daughter and say the things you did to her"."So, she not gonna listen to my words?" He got angry, "Good Job, Tim. I'll take care of it and keep me posted".He gave a thought for several minutes and decided what to do next. The next morning, he was ready to give an interview to the press that Ana is his daughter and her relationship with Chris.
