"This is the clothes that must be worn by her," said Kevin, handing a tote bag to the man.

"Okay."

"Miss, please come with me," said the man to Anna.

Anna froze.

"Follow him, honey. Don't disobey," Brian said to Anna again.

"A-alright," she stuttered and followed the man inside.

For a moment Anna was stunned to see the interior of the room, spacious and so magnificent. But it was only a few minutes before the man leading the way spoke again.

"Come on, Miss," he said to Anna when he saw the woman stop her step.

"Oh sorry."

"Carlos. You can call me Carlos, Miss," the man introduced himself.

"Okay."

Down the corridor, walking for about a few minutes, they turned and entered a room.

Inside there, there were already several women who were also wearing all black clothes.

"Elena, finish it in thirty minutes," said Carlos as he placed the box he was carrying right on the dresser.

"All right. Leave it to me."

"Then I'll wait outside," said Carlos immediately turned and left the room.

"Please take a shower first, Miss," said the woman whose name Anna knew was Elena.

"You help her," she added, looking back.

"What? No, I can do it," said Anna.

"Just show me where the bathroom is," she added.

"No, Miss. I am responsible to you. I only have thirty minutes, so don't refuse," the woman said and then raised her hands to code to four women who were about the same age as Anna.

Immediately the four of them led Anna into a room that was not less spacious than the previous room, it was the bathroom.

"They will help you, Miss," said Elena.

Anna didn't respond, letting them do whatever they wanted.

Until a few minutes later, Anna began to feel uncomfortable.

"What's this for again? I've used it many times before," Anna sighed harshly when she saw one of the women who were with her again wanting to pour soap for the fifth time.

"This is different, Miss. This will leave your skin supple and fragrant," the woman replied and then started to rub Anna's back.

Again, Anna could only surrender and accept it.

For a moment, she felt like the most neglected and despicable person in the world.

Not without reason, she felt this way. First, she did something she shouldn't have done five years ago with a stranger, secondly, she lives under the same roof with a different man who has absolutely nothing to do with her, thirdly, now she is reunited with the once crushing Brian his former beliefs, treating herself as he pleased as if she had no right to refuse.

Anna felt as if fate was playing a game with her life.

To be honest, she was tired, she was so tired of everything. It's just that for the sake of her son 'Dave', she will survive. Survive all the things that happen in her life.

Anna couldn't imagine, if Dave wasn't in her life, she might have disappeared from this world.

"Done, Miss. You can rinse your body."

Anna nodded and followed the woman's words, her gaze vacant.

Elena started to polish Anna's face, she didn't forget to cover the kissmark on the woman's neck with makeup. Her shrewd movements indicate that she is not new to this field.

Wearing a dress that fits her body very well, rather than being beautiful, Anna looks more petite and cute, also fragile at the same time, Makes anyone who sees her want to hug her body and provide protection, afraid that the tiny body will get hurt.

"If only Miss was a little taller..."

"Tsskk," Elena immediately cut off the words of one of the women who were with her.

"Since when are you allowed to judge Mr. Brian's choose?" she added again.

Suddenly the woman's body jerked as if she had just realized what she had just said.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Miss. I'm sorry."

"No problem, don't think about it too much," Anna replied trying to smile at the woman.

"Thank you."

Anna didn't answer, instead, she just nodded.

"How? Are you done?" Carlos' voice came from outside the room.

"A little more," Ellena replied, slightly smoothing the tiara over Anna's head.

"Hurry up, the guests have been waiting for a long time," Carlos said again.

Elena didn't answer until a few minutes later, "It's done, come in," said Elena.

Immediately Carlos appeared behind the door.

"Looks like you have to call some people to lift the hem of Miss's dress," said Elena to the man.

"No need, you just do it," Carlos said to Elena then scanned the several women standing behind her.

Hearing that, Elena was silent as if to think for a moment.

"Okay."

Coming out of the room, it turned out that Brian was there. Standing back while playing with his cellphone, it seemed he still didn't realize that Anna, Carlos, Elena, and the others had just come out and were staring at him at this time.

"S-sir," Carlos approached Brian and bowed slightly.

Brian immediately looked around him, and at the same time, he stepped closer to Anna.

"You are so beautiful," Brian muttered, kissing Anna's lips briefly. Everyone immediately lowered their eyes. Either a whim or out of respect for them.

Anna who was being treated like that suddenly stuck her on the spot.

"Ahh.." the woman screamed as her body suddenly lifted. Brian carried her.

"I don't want my future wife to be tired from walking," said Brian, starting to walk, followed by Carlos and Elena who lifted the hem of the wedding dress worn by Anna.

If usually in that position, the woman would wrap her arms around the man's neck, but this time it was different. Anna didn't move an inch, as if frozen in the man's arms. She put both hands on her stomach, reluctant to move from there.

Out of the majestic building, Brian led Anna to the courtyard.

The guests immediately stood up, watching the two couples walk towards the altar.

As if at a loss for words, Anna didn't know how to describe what kind of situation she was in right now.

This is nothing more than a forced marriage.

Brian forced her to do all this by threatening to hurt Dave if she didn't comply.

Then after this?

What kind of explanation will she give to Nicho, Dave, and Naila?

Also to Devan because she suddenly stopped working and disappeared again.

No, that wasn't what she had to worry about now. But, can she meet her son after this or not?

Just thinking about it, Anna felt very frustrated.

"Don't frown, honey." Brian's voice suddenly broke her reverie, the man slowly lowered her body and took her arm, walking on the red carpet.

"Smile, don't show that kind of expression," Brian muttered again without slowing down one bit. A murmur only Anna could hear.

"Don't be rebellious, Anna," he said again, gripping Anna's arm tightly, making the woman wince slightly.historical

"You think I can't do anything to you in the future....?"

"All right," Anna interrupted immediately and smiled.
