Anna POV
I can feel my heart thundering the moment we reached his room. He opened it and I can hear my screaming and pleading.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself. I can't get nervous, not right now.
We sat on the bed and I turned my gaze toward my hands. I can feel him staring at me and I just wanted to hide from his scrutinized gaze.
He took my hands into his hands and I flinched. He stopped for a few seconds then held my hand to his lips and kissed it softly.
I looked at him with a stunned expression and he stared at me then gave me a soft smile.
"Anna I... I am so sorry" he said softly
This man was surprising me today with his every actions and word. But he always had a habit to surprise me.
"I should not have hit you, raped you or abused you. I am so sorry. It's just that I can't control myself. Something in me wanted me to hurt you. I don't want to do that but it overpowers me." He spoke calmly
Then he shook his head and continued "But now I will correct it. I will stop hitting you. I will change myself but be patient with me. Because I don't really know what I am doing. Will you give me your support."
He was looking at me with hopeful eyes. What happened to him? Why he is acting like this?
"I don't know what to say," I told him with a sigh and turned my gaze down to stare at our joined hands.
He grabbed my chin gently and made me look toward him and said "I will wait for your answer. I will give you 6 months for that. I am leaving this country for 6 months. I am going to stay in a Rehab Center. They told me that they will treat me and I will also start taking my medications. I doing this for you and our babies."
He leaned down toward my lips and pecked it softly and whispered "I love you" before capturing my lips to his.
I leaned back and laid down on the bed. He was hovering over me and was biting my lips softly.
I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him gently. He broke the kiss and pulled himself away from me and looked at me angrily.
His eyes were filled with anger and I started to shiver in fear and he saw that too.
He turned his back to me and I saw his shoulder moving up and down.
I froze and wait for him to hit me but that didn't come. Still, I waited for a few minutes and he turned toward me.
His eyes were not angry anymore instead it got soft. He leaned down and kissed my head then whispered "I am sorry "
"Come," he said and forwarded his hand in front of me.
I took a deep breath then placed my hand on his and stood up. He wrapped his hand around my waist and led me towards downstairs.
Maria and the few maids were placing the dishes on the table. I sat on the chair beside Jack.
Lily served me and Jack the food and I started to eat it slowly.
"I missed your handmade food, Anna." He said suddenly
I choked on my food and started to cough. He patted my back and gave me water to drink.
I finally calm down and looked at him with shocked eyes and said "I want to go back. They told me to come back quickly"
I lied to him but he didn't say anything just nodded and stood up. He went upstairs and came back with babies in his arms.
Mia was cuddling on his chest but Matthew was wide awake and smiling at everything.
Jane was behind him and looking at him narrowed eyes. He stood in front of me and kissed babies.
He gave the babies to Jane and said: "Leave us alone Jane."
Jane just nodded and stood a little away from me. He moved close to me and grabbed my waist.
"Take care of yourself Anna and take these with you too." He said and gave me three cards.
I shook my head and said "I don't want these. I never wanted your money, Jack."
"I know but still it's yours. I don't want you to worry about money so take this," he said and gave them to me.
