"Did Johnny get discharged from the hospital?" Anna asked, shivering lightly in the passenger seat as she viewed the nightlife with cheerful eyes.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsIdvgVfDM
It was fascinating for her to have a nighttime ride, but not with her long-term business partner.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsTaRTp2hj
"Yeah, two days ago. He had a fracture but he's fine," Jackson said, glancing at the road and then at Anna, who seemed least interested in talking with the handsome man admiring her.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5FcrelEZf
It's always a mystery for the little bakery owner and her mom about the Blakes and their business. It's said that they have a great import and export company worldwide... But what? It isn't disclosed.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPimE8qIv
"I hope he'll be able to make his usual speech for the anniversary like always," she said thoughtfully.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo4J2qnZky
"Yeah... He would definitely, to show his presence, dear... But I'm afraid that a particular pretty couple would catch the whole attention," he said as he changed gears and entered the dark, isolated road leading to Blake's Mansion, completely out of the hustle and bustle of the city.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguyUanOc7D
"A couple? Oh, of course, the Blake couple," Anna said, leaning back and gazing at the dark road with difficulty.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CRjobnGQV
Jackson grinned and slowed down the engine.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FHs8VjjFp
"No, a young lovely couple dressed elegantly in golden champagne."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7PJh4P4lf
"What a lovely thing. But sadly, it would just be a dream."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWwvgef2Y7
"I can make it."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJzb5va31D
"Well, you can try, Mr. Blake," she said boringly and yawned.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzBp7I2MPs
Anna has always reserved her love life particularly for the one person who would make her feel safe and loved. She would have fallen for Jackson, the well-known rich boy of her high school, from the very first day when her mom introduced him as her friend's and business partner's youngest son. But she knew very well that everything Jackson says and does is for nothing but to get what he wants, and afterwards, it would be a burden for the playboy.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F3uYt0GY0
"I wonder, Anna, I really wonder. How you are so different from your sister Isabelle. You guys are identical twins with utterly different perspectives."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytrIfGQTfP
Of course, Jackson and his family know about the tragedy that happened to the Walkers years back. Aleena and Anny are just two sides of the same coin. She has always been a lifesaver for them in many critical situations. When Anny was in financial crisis at the beginning of her business, Aleena was the one who stepped forward and made a huge investment.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ZJDaN1L7
"We are just physically identical, not mentally," she said simply and averted her gaze to her window side.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiC3qEYdfS
It really hurts Anna, the fact that she doesn't have a normal family she wished to have since childhood.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEMqknw7Yj
Elly, her stepmom, has done a great job making conflict between Anna and Belle, making them rivals within two months of her arrival. She was also successful in making Bella to her side, who would always support and hide her nasty deeds.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj82rRs6Jg
"I should have think about it... Before dating her..." He said the last part almost like a whisper. After school, Anna left to secure a degree in business administration at the local university, while Jackson went to the US for his college, purely under his Dad's pressure.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWam50E4aA
For Jackson, it's really hard to figure out what kind of feelings he has for Anna. At first, it was purely for her tiny, bubbly figure and lovely bright smile which would make his day. He loved to tease and make her angry by pretending to be her boyfriend in front of their classmates and parents.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXm12DU3F
But gradually, the feelings got intense. He started to admire her courage and strength to stand with her Mom and help her make a happy life. The feeling to embrace and hold her towards him, not letting cruel words hurt her pure soul. It wasn't just mere physical attraction anymore but something he never had with anyone in his life.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiarl636Zg
He tried to ignore and move on from the feelings he had for her and dated a bunch of girls he met in his school, but still, the feelings nagged at him so badly. Once he shifted from Norway to the US for studies, he had nothing but Anna inside his head... Fear if she would date any other jerks and break herself.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mmDV9YCZk
At this point, he met Isabelle, who was just the model version of Anna, a luxurious and aesthetic girl which kind of impressed him. Soon they started to date. It was a mere attempt of his to distract himself and replace Isabelle with Anna. It took only a couple of days for Jackson to understand Bella is nothing but the opposite of Anna in everything. The relationship hadn't even lasted for a month; he broke up with her plainly and left the US, without a proper reason; he broke his studies and left the country.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQsBlDZ7eA
"Did you invite Dominic?" Anna enquired curiously.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bZh2Rvd5r
"Mm.. yeah. Mom sent an invitation to his address in Malaysia, but... No response... I don't know why he can't just get back to us... It's all happened years ago." He said annoyingly and tightened the grip over the steering.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33H12oxstH
"It takes time for people to forgive and forget... We can't blame him for all..." She said softly while memorizing the little Dominic who is two years older than her, at the birthday party of Jackson.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmx0eM39Gd
Dominic Balke is the second son of Blake couple's. He was just a cool rebellious bad boy who loved to violate the specified rules of his Dad restricting him from being a wanderer. The last time Anna saw him was the day when she went to Blakes Mansion with her mom for some discussion, at the age of 14.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYojS65A6l5
Joseph Blake was beating feverishly his 16-year-old son with his hockey stick for sneaking out of school and using cocaine and drugs. Dominic was like a madman yelling and shouting back at his Dad, resisted his assault and locked up in his room.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5nWUhIj1I
The next day it came to know that the teenage boy had run away from the highly secured mansion with his belongings.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWHJaUGiFp
For three months, Aleena Blake was hospitalized after the tragic news. They tried to trace him but in vain. Later it's found he got settled in Malaysia as a pediatrician.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFgYi6xX4S
"You can't justify him, Anna... He is the one who has done all wrong things. Don't you know he was always a rebellious one? Dad was so disturbed because of his drug addiction."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXvNXOBm4H
"I know he was an addict, but the way you all dealt with him wasn't the best way. He was -"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCJqWzurLN
"Don't say you have a soft spot for him, Anna." Jackson cut off with a bit of annoyance.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsxRmyHSst
"Yes, I have, he was so caring and gentle towards me unlike you who was an ass." She retorted.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoNNlqZRxs
"Okay, no more talking about Dominic. He is already settled, probably married to a nurse or doctor in Malaysia and has five or six kids." He stated, making Anna bite her lips to not laugh.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXukq6gfOd2
After coming back from the US, his Dad took away Jackson's credit card and other allowances for his luxurious life and asked him to find a better job for living.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYojLruXZ9
Aleena, who was now a member of Blake's orphanage trust, transferred her partnership in Anna's bakery to Jackson, like Anna she too wished to see Anna and Jackson ending together.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsGtsNgBZr
And that's how Jackson became her long-term business partner.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGq9AG2pGF
"It's cold, Jackson... Please turn off the A/C." She moaned softly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkMIqCX7HQ
Her exposed collarbone and neck, which are rarely seen, have already made him crazy and her little cute moan just leaves his mind to have crazy fantasies.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Tkl5Jwt9
He gulped down hardly and glanced to the right. Anna had already closed her eyes and leaned back, having a peaceful nap before getting into the party.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDnLpFkNlX
"I just want to hold her badly!" He said softly and forcefully fixed his gaze on the dark pitch highway.
