Anna now simply looked very bad.
Her hair was disheveled, one side of her face was swollen with many tear stains, and she looked pained and shy in her torn clothes.
-What if you hurt yourself and don't go to the hospital? -Matteo tried to keep his voice as low as possible and asked in a low voice.
-I'm not going to the hospital anyway, I don't even want to go home,‖ Anna shrugged her knees, her voice muffled. You can drop me off at a hotel.
What nonsense this girl was talking, there was no way to send her to a hotel at a time like this, even if she wasn't going to the hospital.
Thinking about it, Matteo took the girl directly to his place. Only this place was her private place, without servants, not the usual house where she lived, so Anna was a little confused when she got out of the car.
-Where am I?
-My house.
Anna let herself be carried away by him, surrounded by his scent, knowing that she had already decided yesterday that she would never see him again. But now this man had saved her in her most desperate moment and was giving her a sense of safety and security. She could not control her small movements and slowly squeezed herself in his arms.
Matthew's footsteps stopped a little and his eyes shifted slightly downward, obviously sensing the change in her as well.
Matthew just assumed that she was afraid, so he tightened his arms and his low voice had a hint of tenderness not expressed in it.
-Don't be afraid, it won't happen again.
At the thought of what had just happened, Anna felt a twinge of fear; if Matthew had not come to her rescue, what would have happened to her tonight?
Anna's body shivered involuntarily at the thought of a certain possibility.
Matteo carried her upstairs and laid her on the soft sofa, moving carefully before saying, "Wait here.
He turned and was about to leave when Anna grabbed him roughly by the sleeve.
-Don't go.
The room was very large and a little empty from fear.
Seeing her like this, Matthew's eyes sank a little deeper and he could only say in a low voice.
-I'm going next door, I'll be back in a minute.
One minute?
Anna looked at him with some uncertainty, a look that seemed to ask: really?
Matthew nodded.
-Well, make it quick then? -Anna finished, before reluctantly releasing her handshake and leaving Matteo to fetch the first aid kit.
As Matteo walked away, Anna looked down and noticed that her white shoes were stained with black spots and looked extraordinarily rough. She thought about how she had just appeared.
Like these white shoes, she had been tarnished by Hector.
She must have been dirty now, she remembered Hector's hands grabbing her arms and pulling at her clothes, tickling her shoulders and skin....
The images flashed uncontrolled in her mind, more and more, and Anna screamed unbearably, scrambled to her feet and ran out the door, only to crash into Matteo's arms with a thud.
-How...
Before the words were out of her mouth, Anna took several steps backward, avoiding him like the plague.
Matthew held the medicine in his hand, intending to help her with her wounds.
But when he returned, he found Anna's eyes and expression changed.
