Anna nodded her face as she dressed up again in formals and went down. As far as she remembered, it was said to be a family dinner so it must be expected that most everyone will be here, including Alex and Scott.

From the very start, she knew it is impossible to avoid them. They are a family, Steve's. Some of the other ways, she will end up meeting them and this scares Anna.

What if she happens to do something and it ruins her plan? She wore a long gown this time and instead of keeping her hair open, she tied them into a messy bun with showed her clear and biteable neck.

Taking up the phone which was lying on the couch, she went downstairs. The head made guided her to the dining area where everyone was waiting for her presence.

"Hello, everyone." Anna greeted as her eyes caught the sight of David and of Klara.

"Good to see you here, Anna. Sorry, we were not able to receive you at the airport, a sudden emergency meeting came up and we were not able to push it for some other time." Klara spoke with the intention of telling the truth. She does not want this to leave a bad impression on Anna's mind. Although Anna did not even care.

"It was nothing. Work is more important and I understand that." Anna smiled at them and then, she looked at the seating plan. While David sat on the head chair and Klara on his left, then Chris was sitting up on the right.

But then, she saw two figures, who's face was downcast until this whole time looking up to see Anna's eyes. It was none other than Alex himself!

Anna felt her heartbeat being skipped when she saw him looking at her with this much intensity in his eyes. But what was more noticeable was his face. He had grown more handsome with the passing days.

"Anna, come and sit with me." She heard Chris speaking up and pointing at the chair beside his. Anna wad purely reluctant to go and sit with him as her wish was to go and sit near Alex but it seemed impossible.

'Here, you are Chris's fiance, Anna. Go and sit with him.' This was what her inner thoughts were constantly saying to her.

She went and sat on the chair beside Chris and he had this stupid grin on his face. Can anyone really tell that this guy was a twenty-three years old?

Then she saw Chris eyeing Alex- See, she sat with me, not with you.

Was this a threat? More like teasing and provocation. Anna remembered him telling her once that he has complicated relationships with his family. Was that true? Because right now, all she was feeling was, he always lied to her, even his name!

She knew this is cruel to accuse someone like this but it was not in her hand.

"We are very delighted that you accepted our offer and came here, Ms. Walker. I hope you and Chris bonds well in the meantime and will soon give us the good news of you two being in love." This time, David spoke his inner thoughts but one thing Anna was sure of was, she will never fall in love with this devil! Never!

Spending time with Chris was nothing but a death offer for her, which she had accepted. Correction, her grandparents accepted and passed it on a decorated plate!

But instead of speaking ill, she looked at them with her warm face, "Thank you for calling me here, Mr. Steve. And for the good time with Chris, it will depend on the actions of your son." Anna had this hint in her words, 'Do not blame me for not being warm to your son.'

Everyone on the table was well aware of the true nature of Chris here. What he has done to her and what he can even do in near future!

"Well Miss Anna, I will recommend you to stay away from my elder brother. As you already know, he has done so many wrong things so we do not know what he can do in the future." Alex suddenly said and each one present in the room eyes Alex with their sharp gaze. He was insulting his brother clearly and that too in front of his brother's fiance.

"ALE-" David was going to shout again but this time, Anna spoke the first.

"I do not know what Chris might do to me, Mr. Luke. But I hope he will not betray me like others." Her meaning was clear, the way Alex betrayed Anna by hiding and changing names, it only ended up hurting her. But she appreciated Chris in front of everyone by putting Alex down.

Her hands were already converted into a fist while clutching the gown so tight, in hope to extinguish this pain in her heart. It really pains her a lot when she looks into his eyes and feels that he was the one she loved.

"I..I.." Alex did not know what to say to her here in front of so many people. He knew that he was wrong, and maybe it will take time to make her happy again but all he needs right now is to make her happy soon!

Not only it hurts him, but jealousy rises up when he had listened to David asking Anna and Chris to be in love when clearly, she still loves him! After all, he loves her and it is common to have jealousy, especially when you see your crush being shipped with someone else!

She wants to be with him and he will make sure this happens in the future even if it will cost him his life. Alex had taken this as an oath, he will take Anna away from Chris no matter what!

"Mr. Luke, I think you should think more about your own self instead of mine because the things that you felt are yours, you actually lost them long ago."
