“Obviously mommy. He was so sweet that day and also, he said that he will not take my dad’s position. So I guess, it won’t harm me to meet him once again.” This time, Kiara was serious.

From her eyes, Anna already guessed that Alex has made a special place in Kiara’s heart and mind. He left a deep impression on his daughter, just on the first meet and she can already relate to it.

‘His first impression on me was just as you are thinking of my child.’ Anna smiled when she remembered the first time she met him near the bakery of her school.

“Alright. I will ask him to meet you once again. I will see when he is free so we will decide accordingly.” Anna answered back but first, she has to make sure that Kiara is protected from everyone.

She can’t let any of his flings come closer to Kiara and try to manipulate her in any manner. She is just six years old and it would be big trouble if anyone tries to take advantage of her little child.

Kiara gave her mother a thumbs up to this and then, Anna made Kiara leave for a study session for now and sat on the couch with her mother, who looked at Anna worriedly. But Anna asked her first, “What happened to you mom? Why are you so serious?”

“I can see that you are trying to control yourself. Why Anna? You need to look forward to your life and I heard that Alex is not the killer of your brother then you can already accept Alex, won’t that be good?”

Marrie has seen Anna suffering. She knows that her daughter is taking pills to go back to sleep and she avoids the nightmare where she actually tried to kill Alex.

But she never said anything because one thing Marrie is totally aware of is, Anna won’t change her decision because of her. She is a stubborn person and will do what she wishes to.

Exhaustedly, Anna replied to the mother, “It is not like what you are thinking. I’m accepting that I do have some feelings for…Alex but there is a problem and that is our differences. He…isn’t in love with me mom. I tried to kill him once and just staying together for the sake of the child isn’t good either.”

“Have you ever tried to talk to him clearly about this? Have you ever thought of asking about his opinion instead of thinking about everything yourself? Clear it, Anna…” For now, her mother’s words looked the same as the priest’s words in the church.

She is just assuming everything by herself and not clearing anything from him. She has no idea why she is feeling like this, but for some reason, Anna just wants to continue living in peace.

“Mom, I shall go to my bedroom now. I need asleep.” Without waiting for her mother’s words, Anna left the living room and shut the door behind her.

Inside her room, she didn’t switch on the lights, instead went near the window to look at the sky and then at the phone that was there in her hand.

Opening the secret folder that she made on her phone, she opened it with the passcode which was nothing else but Alex’s birthday date along with her, and the photographs were shown.

All the pictures that they clicked together in the past, either it is on the quiz that they won or on the camping. From the beach to sleeping under the moonlight, everything is there.

A faint smile came to her face when helped through them and yes, Anna can feel her heart skipped a beat due to his face. She denies her feelings for him for so long but she knows now, she has no courage to say this on his face.

‘How should I tell you, Alex, that I have feelings for you? Till now, I can’t forget you no matter what I do?’

Anna doesn’t know what to do but then, she brought up the courage to ask him out for her daughter. Searching his number from her contact list, Anna sent out a message.

Anna Walker: Kiara wishes to meet you. When are you free so that I can tell her?

Anna sent it out but she knew that it was almost impossible for her to get a reply just now. He will not reply to her just in a few seconds at least. but maybe, her guess was wrong.

Her phone rang and there, she saw that Alex was calling her. ‘Instead of sending me a direct message, he is now calling me? That is nice?’ without wasting even a second, Anan picked it up and said, “Hello?”

“For my daughter, I’m always free and I do not need any time to meet my daughter. So just tell her that we can meet tomorrow.” Alex’s voice was cold but she can see that he is still being warm to her.

“She wanted to come to your place… and spend some quality time. It is just that if we take her to any public place, many people will recognize her and for now, it would be better for her to not meet anyone.” Anna replied with her thoughts.

She knows very well that many people are trying to keep an eye on him so that they can tarnish their reputation as well.

What will they even do when they will get to know that he has a daughter?

“I understand your concern. Why don’t you just come to my Penthouse? I have a home near the seashore. I bet she would like to see it.”

It was Kiara who should be excited but Anna doesn’t know why but she can feel her heart feeling butterflies. Meeting him in a has personal space sounded nervous but she was alright with it.

‘Let us see how this goes on.’
