ANNA'S POV

" You shouldn't worry about it. I'll not go anywhere. I don't have anywhere to go. As you must know by now, I'm an orphan".

He didn't say anything but stared at me for a few seconds before closing the door behind and heading out. I turned to have a look, it was a big, very big room. Even bigger than my whole apartment.

There was a big king-sized bed with dark walls and black curtains. There was three-door. One for entering the room. One for the bathroom and one for a beautiful neat closet. The black floor-sized curtains were blowing from the air. As I was curious to see what's behind them I walked towards it and slide it aside.

A cold wind hit on my face. It was a big balcony with a beautiful outside mansion view. Standing there I saw some men I guess they were bodyguards, doing their duties.

Two of them open the gate wide when a black car stopped outside. Before I could see who it was someone knocked on the door and I went to open it.

It was Aiden again with a food tray in his hands. I gave him aside to come in. He isn't letting anyone come to my room even he came to serve food. He placed the tray on the table and told me to eat but I declined as I wasn't had any appetite. I also told him to take back the food but he didn't and told me that I have to eat as I also have to take medicines.

" Why are you doing this?. I asked as he turned to go out of the room again. He turned with frowned eyebrows. "Why are you acting as you care?". I added.

" We do". He replied softly but I chuckled at his words.

"We?". I asked sarcastically. " You mean Tan?". He hummed in response. " Don't forget I'm here. In this condition because of him". I spat with anger.

" It wasn't his fault". His tone was still calm. " He has nothing to do with this".

" I know you are taking his side because he is your friend. But if those gangsters weren't behind me because of him then who were they?". I asked crossing my hands on my chest.

" They were not his enemies. They were there for you." He replied.

" You are lying? Why would they? What will they get from me? I have nothing."

" You have your parents' property". He replied.

" Parents property." I mumbled in confusion.

He nodded and continue. " All your parents' property would have been legally yours when you turned 18 a few months ago but those gangsters had their eyes on it. When Tan came to know he warned them but as they can't lay a finger on him, they were after you for that". He replied. Making sure if I understood everything or not but I was still confused.

" How do you and Tan know about it? About my family? About my birthday? My address? Literally about everything? Who are you?". I asked looking straight into his eyes.

" You forget the high school playboy that easily". He chuckled.

My eye squeezed before the widened. It can't be. He is that crack-headed Aiden. Yeah, he looks like that Aiden. But he has changed. A lot.

I did't want to change the topic as I was getting some of the answers to my questions. So I continued to ask further.

"Tan stopped them? Why? Does he want that property?. He laughed at my question.

"Why would he want that. I mean have a look around you. This is all his". He tried to control his laugh but failed miserably.

"Then why did he do that?". I threw my hand in the air. "How did he come on time there last night?"

" It was just a coincidence that he came on time. Actually, he came back home late that night but after seeing the gift you handed me he wanted to see you. But 'why'. I can't tell you. Ask him yourself". With that, he went outside with the food tray leaving only medicines and a glass of milk behind.

He gave a lot of answers but there were thousands of questions still there in my mind. But one question was on top of the list. That is 'WHY'.

I took medicines and drank that entire glass of milk out of frustration. Laying on the bed I looked up at the only white thing in this mansion, the ceiling.

The room was warm and silent but there was a whole gathering of my thoughts in my mind. I layed on my stomach and dig my face in a soft pillow but nothing. There was not a ray of sleep in my eyes I've slept the whole day and night in the hospital and also the question in my mind not helping me either.

I sat up after trying to sleep for the entire hour and now I was hungry. Yes, after rejecting the whole delicious meal, I'm hungry. Some people have mood swings but I have food swings.

Standing up I silently opened the door and peeked outside. As there was no one I went out closing the door behind not making any noises.

Mansion was silent with only deem lights on. Walking downstairs I tiptoed and luckily found the kitchen. I quickly open the fridge door hoping I'll get something to eat and hopefully I got chocolate cake. I immediately took the cake in my left hand and close the door with my right one. About to run towards my room with cake but I stopped when I saw someone standing near the kitchen door, looking at everything I'm doing.


At first, I thought it was Aiden as he was standing in the dark but soon he walked towards me with his hands in his pocket. For my embarrassment he's Tan.

I gulp down my saliva and started stepping backward. He wasn't diverting his intense gaze from me and I was looking here and there in nervousness. Soon a gasp escaped from my lips when my back came in contact with the wall beside the fridge I stopped as I wasn't able to back off more.

The cake was still in my hands near my chest. I look up at him but he didn't stop still coming closer to me. I closed my eyes tightly shut when he lean near my face. My heart was thumping in my chest loudly as his breath was hitting on my neck.

Suddenly I heard a click sound making me open my eyes quickly. He grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and without sparing any second glance he exited the kitchen.

" Hey". I called out but he didn't turn nor stop but said something unbelievable.

" Spoons and knives are in the left-most cutlery drawer". With that, he headed out.

I looked down at the cake in my hand. 'What is the use of spoons and knives now when I already have lost my appetite again'
