I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 9 - You Two Deserve Each Other

"Nooooooooooo ...."

Anne screamed so loudly that she opened her eyes wide. Cold sweat ran down her back and her temples. Anne, who immediately sat down, turned on the nightlight beside her bed, with trembling hands. ??

She touched the ON button on her night lamp, and immediately, her room became bright. Anne's eyes immediately swept across her room to make sure she didn't see what she had seen in her dream.

"Gosh... it's just a dream," said Anne stammered with tears in her eyes as she touched her chest.

In the last few days, she often dreamed of Leon, her ex-husband, even though she had absolutely no memory of the cheater. But somehow, that evil man could enter into her dream. Thinking about it made Anne feel suffocated.

Weirdly, almost all of her dreams were the same. Leon came and asked for his rights as her husband, even though when they were married for almost a year, Leon never thought of her as a wife.

Anne felt thirsty. She reached for the glass above the nightstand to drink, but unfortunately, the glass was empty. She was forced to get out of bed and walk to the refrigerator to get water.

As soon as the refrigerator opened, she quickly grabbed a bottle of water and swallowed the whole contents. Anne drank the bottle of water like she'd run a marathon even though she was just sleeping.

"It's still 4 am. I might not be able to sleep again," said Anne quietly as she tied her messy hair.

Anne sauntered to the bathroom to wash her face and change clothes. Her nightgown was soaked with sweat from her nightmare. When she was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Anne looked at her reflection.

Her entire body was still pure and had never been touched by any man her almost 23 years of life. When she was married to Leon, she was 19 years old.

She never experienced lovemaking with her husband until finally, she got divorced a year later from Leon. That's why, even though she was now a divorcee, Anne was still a virgin.

Unable to go back to sleep, Anne chose to read gossip news about top artists and models who are currently famous. She slowly opened her laptop to find something to read.

Her lips curved up in a smile when she saw a row of beautiful women lining the runway at the Paris Fashion Week. As a woman, she should like have enjoyed looking at the male celebrities or models, but instead, she liked looking at the rich, beautiful women.

Always being insulted badly by Leon made Anne determined to look like them. She realized that she was not as beautiful as those pretty models, but she had other talents. Anne had an extraordinary talent for playing the piano.

She started touching the piano when she was in the second grade. At first, she was just experimenting but eventually, she continued because she was very interested in playing the musical instrument.

However, because she came from a poor family, her extraordinary talent was wasted. Anne could only play the piano when she was in the church.

Anne closed her laptop when she realized that it was almost sunrise. She then went to her bed and lay back again. She still had three hours before she had to go to work. When Anne was about to close her eyes, suddenly, her cell phone rang very loudly that it startled her.

"Jeez... patience, Jack," said Anne curtly. She knew who was calling her. The ringtone was used only for Jack.

"Hello ... what's up, Jack?" asked Anne with a yawn. She was feeling sleepy again.

"Are you awake?" Jack asked without guilt.

"Of course I'm awake, who are you talking to now!!" replied Anne curtly.

At the end of the line, Jack laughed out loud at Anne's words. He was really happy to bother Anne. Since a long time ago, usually, it was Anne always bothered him.

"I sent you a news link. Open it, but promise you won't cry," Jack said.

"News link? Why do I have to cry because of a news link? You're weird, Jack. Let me see it," Anne replied.

Without hanging up the call, Anne opened the link sent by Jack, her sleepy eyes immediately went round when she saw the article that appeared from the link she opened.

"Anne ... Anne, you're still there, right?" Jack asked repeatedly. Anne suddenly went silent.

"I-I'm here, Jack," answered Anne hoarsely.

"Are you okay?" asked Jack again.

"Jack, I will hang up your call. I want to take a shower. I will meet you at the coffee shop," said Anne stammered before she hung up the call.

Her chest suddenly felt so tight after reading the article that was shown by Jack. The article was about Leonardo Ganke's engagement with Steffani Collins. They would have an engagement party in the most prestigious hotel in Stuttgart, Germany.

"You deserve each other. A cheater and a shameless vixen," Anne muttered in a tremble.
