Anna's POV
I really enjoyed my day, all thanks to this cute man before me who wouldn't stop making me giggle like a little child. He derives pleasure and happiness from seeing me happy and he is proving to be worth more than any other man.
I hear the slamming of the front door and I know instantly that someone must have seen us kissing. We pull away from each other and I look down in embarrassment.
He raises my head with a smirk and pecks my forehead like he always does before going out of the car to open the door for me.
"Bye, love."
"Bye", I wave at him till he is out of sight. I suddenly feel cold now that he is gone. I hug my body to myself and walk inside.
I see Aidan sitting on the sofa, crossed legs with blazing red eyes, I know I am in for trouble tonight. I am sure he was the one who saw us kissing.
"Good evening, Aidan", I greet politely.
"Where the hell are you coming from, Anna?" He asks me instead of replying to my greeting.
He looks up at me and I see him staring at me from head to toe. I felt confident of my dressing earlier but now that he is watching me intensely with an angry gaze, I feel naked.
"Hmm, I...wa..was out with a friend", I stammer.
"A friend?" He stands up. "Do you kiss every one of your male friends?"
"What?" I open my eyes wide. "Of course not."
"Can you explain what is happening then?"
I know I said I won't be scared of Aidan but now I realize it is a dream far-fetched. His gaze is enough to make me shudder in fear.
"Tony is...."
"Oh, that is the name? Tony?"
"Tony is my boyfriend", I close my eyes as I answer him. He begins to laugh like a crazy man. When I open my eyes, I catch a glimpse of Tania and Natalie peeping from a room opposite where I am standing.
They were trying to pass a message, I see Tania rubbing her hands together and bending down a bit. I know she is asking me to apologize.
But why? I didn't do anything wrong. Is it a crime to kiss my boyfriend?
"Do you have any idea what you just did? How dare you bring a man into my home and you even had the gut to kiss him? What kind of woman are you?"
Now I feel like apologizing. I don't want to apologize for kissing Tony, I just want to apologize for bringing him to his so-called house. I thought he was changing with the way he has been showing me care for some days now but I am wrong. He is ill-tempered and that will hinder him from becoming good.
"I'm sorry for bringing him here", I apologize.
"You know what?" I raise my head to gaze at him. "I think I now know who you truly are."
He is thinking the worst of me. He must be thinking this is how I have been doing.
"You are getting the wrong idea, Aidan."
"I am not getting the wrong idea, I am seeing the real you."
"What do you mean? Why are you so bothered about me and Tony? Why are you even bothered about who I date? How can you forget the rules of the contract you made yourself? Have you forgotten what you told me yourself? You said I can date anyone I want after the baby is born, why then are you saying something different now? What the hell is your problem? You were bringing different ladies here, yet I never complained, why are you complaining about it now? Why can't you let me enjoy my life? I can't be your slave forever", I shout and want to dash to my room when his statement stops me.
"You want to enjoy your life, right? Even at the detriment of your daughter?"
