Anna's POV

He was here. Standing in front of me. We were standing and looking at each other without saying anything.

A few seconds later, he took his eyes off me. He cleared his throat and closed the door behind him.

"Eros, let me introduce you Anna Henderson. The daughter of Jake Henderson, our co-partner in our new hotel projects and the interior designer of these projects. Anna, meet my son, Eros Taptiklis. You are going to work together in these projects."

I was in shock. He was Uncle Loukas's son, and now I was going to work with him. I could not believe what I had heard. It must have been a dream. No, it was not a dream; it was a nightmare. Yeah, I was dreaming. I would wake up and everything would disappear.

"...Nice to meet you, Anna." Eros said, looking into my eyes, and extended his hand, giving me a slight smile.

No, it was not a nightmare. He was real. Here and now looking into my eyes.

"Um....Nice to meet you too." I murmured and shook his hand. He shook my hand, caressing the top of my hand with his thumb.

I pulled my hand back quickly. He smirked arrogantly and sat down.

"You may continue." Uncle Loukas said.

Eros looked at me from head to toe, smirking arrogantly. I tried to continue. I felt his eyes on me. He was staring at me. I tried to concentrate, but it was impossible.

I did not feel well anymore. My head was spinning slightly; my vision was blurry. Suddenly, my vision darkened.

Eros' POV

She was standing in front of me. It was like a dream. I missed her so much; when I saw her again, I noticed it. She looked more beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She did not forget me either. I felt it when we shook our hands. I was staring at her.

Suddenly, she fainted. I stood up quickly and rushed towards her. I bent down on my knees and stroked her cheek while holding her hand.

"Anna, open your eyes."

Everyone was beside us. I got up and scooped her up in my arms bridal style.

"Open the door!" I shouted.

I carried her to my office and placed her on the couch carefully. My father came in.

"Call the doctor." He said to the secretary.

I sat on the centre table opposite of her. I held her hand, caressing her hair.

"Anna." I tapped her cheek slightly. "Open your eyes, Anna."

I was so worried.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes slowly.

"Emmett." She murmured lowly.

I closed my eyes. What I have done! I opened my eyes and looked at her, stroking her hair.

"Do not worry. I am with you." I murmured.

"Drink it, Anna." My father handed me a glass of water.

I took it and helped her to drink it. She took a sip. I placed the glass on the centre table.

"How do you feel now, Anna?" My father asked.

"Better." She murmured, but her face was still pale.

Finally, the doctor came. I stood up letting the doctor check up on her. I put my hand into my pocket, running my other hand through my hair.

"Your blood pressure is low. Did you eat anything this morning?" He asked. She shook her head, biting her lower lip.

"The reason must be it. But we need to do some tests too."

"Thank you." She said.

I walked towards my desk and called my secretary.

"Bring something to eat to my room. And a glass of orange juice." I hung up.

I remembered our breakfasts together in New York.

Anna's POV

The doctor walked out. A girl walked in, holding a tray in her hands. She placed the tray on the centre table in front of me.

"Thank you." I said. She nodded and walked out.

"Eat. You should take care of yourself." Eros stated angrily.

I looked at him. Who did he think he was?! I rolled my eyes and started eating. I ate a little. I did not want to eat anything.

I stood up. Eros approached me and held my arm. I pulled my arm away.

"I am fine." I said coldly. He stepped back without telling anything.

"Anna, the driver will fetch you. Rest. If you need something, call me." His father stated.

I nodded and gave him a slight smile.

"Thank you. And a meeting..."

"Do not worry about it. I will cancel it. My secretary will inform you."

I nodded. When I looked at Eros, he was staring at me, his hands in his pockets. I looked at Uncle Loukas.

"See you later." I said and walked out without looking at Eros.

I got in the car. The driver started the car.

"Could you stop the car? I want to get some fresh air."

"Alright, Ms. Henderson."

I was sitting on the bench, staring into space. I looked at my wristwatch. I was sitting here for about two hours.

I got up and walked towards the car.

I swiped my room key card and walked in, closing the door behind me.

When I lifted my head, I saw Eros, sitting on the couch, looking at me. I was shocked.

"...What...What are you doing here? And how..."

He smirked arrogantly. He stood up and walked closer to me.

"I am waiting for you. And this hotel is mine. I can get the key to every room I want...And when I want." He stated arrogantly. I looked at him, dumbfounded.

"Where have you been? You should rest."

What?!

He was crazy. After all things, he came and asked me where I had been?!

"What do you think you are? Firstly, you intrude my room. Then, you ask me this. What the hell with you, Eros? Or I need to call you Emmett?" I yelled at him. He was getting on my nerves.

He sighed.

"We need to talk." He said calmly. I gave him a fake smile.

"What about? How did you lie to me? Or how did you use me and throw me away? Which one?" I shouted.

"Anna, calm down." He tried to approach me, but I stepped back.

"I trusted you. But all this time, when I was in love bubble, you laughed behind my back, thinking what a stupid girl I was." I murmured the last words; tears ran down my cheeks.

"Anna..." He murmured.

I sat down on the couch, looking down.

"I am sorry....But I had to. There were our making out photos on magazines in Greece. I thought it was you who had informed the paparazzi."

I looked at him. "What? Which photos?"
