Anna POV
I was literally shaking when Jack said that I am still Mrs. Miller. How could it be possible?
I had given him a divorce and signed on the paper so it couldn't be possible.
Unless. I gasped when I thought that I didn't read the papers before signing it as I was in a hurry to sign it. So that I won't back out.
I glanced at his face and his face had a content smile and then he softly said "You finally figured it out, Anna."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my seat. He joined our hands together and raised to his lips.
He kissed my hand and said, "I missed you, Anna."
I snatched my hand from his and gave him my angry glare and said "You cheated me."
He gave me an innocent look and said "I didn't do that wifey. I gave you the papers you should read before signing it, Anna."
He was right. It was my fault. I should have been more alert at that time.
He looked at Carson who was looking at us with his Jaw clenched and he had fisted his hands.
"You are still here. Didn't I tell you to fuck off? This matter is between husband and wife and you are not needed here." Jack told him with a raised eyebrow.
"Shut up Mr. Miller. You have disturbed me and Ms. Williams. You should leave, not the other way around. I had booked the entire floor for the night. So you have no right to kick me out of here." Carson replied calmly.
Jack took some steps toward him and said "This is my hotel. Have you read the name of the hotel? It's Anastasia. Right?"
"Leave" he spoke darkly
His words sent the chills down my spine. It was filled with darkness and a hidden threat.
"Very Well then. Let's go, Anna." Carson said and grabbed my hand and started to drag me toward the exit.
I snatched my hand from his grip and said "Don't drag me. You should go. I have to talk to Jack. I am sorry but even if he would not have interfered, I would still say no."
"But," he said but I cut him off and said "please"
He nodded and left not without drilling holes with his gaze at Jack.
I strode toward where Jack was standing with a smug face and did what he had always done with me.
I slapped him hard. Not only once but twice. I felt an enormous amount of satisfaction.
He should know how it felt when someone slapped you without your mistake.
But this time it was his mistake too. He had cheated me when I trusted him.
He put his hand on his cheeks and for a second I felt the fear that he would hit me too.
But what he did. He gave me a small grin. I blinked my eyes twice thrice but he was still smiling.
"I won't hit you ever, Anna. So don't be scared of me. You can hit me more if that's satisfied you. I won't stop you." He told me softly.
"I am glad that you are not that scared Anna anymore. I am glad that you are showing me your anger. I am really glad that you are capable enough to kick my ass if I have ever done something." He whispered
He tilted his face toward mine but then stilled and pulled back and said "I won't force you to be with me, Anna. Nor I would touch you."
He has changed so much. In the past, if I even raised my eyes on him, then he had hit me.
"Why did you cheated me?" I asked him coldly.
I am not that scared Anna anymore. My mom and dad had given me enough courage to talk to someone coldly.
He sighed and said "Because I don't want to divorce you and will not give you ever. It's okay if you want to live separately. But I won't let you divorce me."
He kissed my forehead and breathed, "you are and always will be my wife Mrs. Anastasia, Jack Miller."
Then he left me and took some steps back and said "I'll wait for you, Anna. I gave you the time which you needed and will give you more so that you can come back to me at your own will."
"Till then goodbye." He said and turned back and added "Driver will take you back to Richard's house because that is not your house. And I am waiting for you at your own home."
He left the room and I was still standing like a statue. My hand was stinging after hitting him.
With some shaky steps, I reached the exit and walked outside of the hotel and again turned back to check the name.
He was not lying. The hotel's name is Anastasia and the name was written on the lights in calligraphy design.
I scoffed and turned back and saw that a driver was standing and told me that he would drop him home.
I silently sat in the car because I didn't bring my car here and I had sent Carson also.
I should apologize to him as I had behaved rudely with him when he was helping me.
'Did you forget that he was dragging you?" My inner voice said which was missing for 1 year.
I huffed and looked outside the window. Darkness was slowly engulfing the streets.
I reached home and saw that no one was there in the living room. I sighed in relief and thanked god.
