Chapter 99 - 99. Forced Marriage (2)

"Don't frown, honey," Brian's voice suddenly broke his 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," she said again, gripping Anna's arm tightly, making the woman wince slightly.

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

"All right," said Anna immediately cut Brian's sentence and smiled. Forced smile.

"Good."

All the guests seemed very enthusiastic, the guests were dominated by men, while women? There are only a few and maybe can be counted on the fingers?

The implementation of the wedding ceremony lasted several tens of minutes, after the utterance of the sacred vows by the bride and groom, the exchange of rings, it was time for them to kiss.

Anna wanted to refuse, but because she got a sharp glare from the man in front of her, she finally just gave up.

Brian kissing her in front of many people made her body stiffen, Brian's treatment was very gentle and managed to make Anna almost get carried away if she didn't pinch her thighs continuously to maintain her consciousness.

The cheers of the guests echoed.

This went on for about a few minutes and Brian stopped what she was doing.

The sound of cheering was heard again when the man rubbed Anna's lips with her thumb and then kissed her briefly again.

Anna did not budge a bit, nor did she return the man's treatment to her.

After the main event was over, Brian asked Carlos and Elena to take Anna to the room to rest. While the man chose to join his guests.

Entering the elevator, Anna was led to the second floor.

"Can I ask something?" Anna asked turning to Carlos who was walking beside her.

"Please, madam."

"Is Mr. Javier also present at this event?" ask Anna

Carlos and Elena's reflexes stopped their feet, only a few seconds, and then stepped again.

A very strange response for Anna.

"Why do you ask such a question, madam?"

"I just wanted to know, because I haven't met anyone from Brian's family," Anna replied as if she had never known the man before.

"You don't have to think about anything insignificant, madam," said Elena curtly.

Anna who heard such a response sighed harshly, even now they call her Madam.

"Okay, I'm sorry," said Anna.

"No problem, madam."

Out of the elevator, a corridor greeted them immediately, passed several rooms, and then they turned and found another room at the end. It was the room they were headed for.

It this time, Anna entered a room that had a larger size than what she had in mind before, the entire room and its contents were dominated by black and gray, a ring LED chandelier hanging in the middle -middle. The room gives a masculine and modern impression.

"This is your room with Mr. Brian," Carlos said to the woman.

Anna didn't reply to the man's words, she just nodded faintly, a nod with a blank stare.

"All the things you need are inside, if you still need something else, you can use the telephone in the room, Miss. The phone is directly connected to Elena," said Carlos again.

"Um, fine," replied Anna.

"Then I'll excuse, madam," said Carlos farewell, while Elena still stayed.

After the man left, Elena said, "Please, madam. I'll help you take off your wedding dress."

Anna just nodded then went deeper.

A dress of that size will indeed make it difficult for the wearer to take it off if it is not helped by someone else.

There was no discussion between the two of them until Elena finished her task and then said goodbye.

"Then I'll say goodbye, madam," said Elena, in her hand was the dress Anna had worn before, and it was neatly folded.

Anna just nodded, she had also changed into new clothes. Even so until now, she still looked dazed. Her mind seemed to be floating, being faced with so many events in such a short time made it difficult for her to digest them all. It was as if she was having a very long dream.

Seeing Elena walk away and approach the exit, Anna suddenly shouted, "Wait!" At the same time, she ran towards the door where the woman was.

"Do you need anything, madam?" asked Elena turning around.

"Um… that… may I ask for my things?" Anna asked a little doubtfully.

"Your things?" Repeated Elena with a furrowed brow, as she recalled the woman who had just assumed the status of Mr. Brian's wife did not have any luggage since earlier. Is her memory problematic?

"Yeah, just a bag," answered Anna.

"But, madam..since we met earlier, you're not wearing any bags," said Elena.

"Eh? Really?" Anna tried to remember.

"Perhaps on the way here you forgot it somewhere, madam?"

Hearing Elena's words, Anna froze.

"That's right, at the dress fitting at the boutique, I forgot about it there."

"Ouch… how is this? My cell phone and some valuables are in there," she muttered to herself.

"Elena.." Anna called looking at the woman standing right in front of her.

"Yes, madam?

"I want to go somewhere."

"No, madam. You are not allowed to leave this room," said Elena immediately.

"I just want to pick up the bag I left behind, I promise I'll be back here soon. Can I?"

"Elena, please help me," Anna whined as soon as she grabbed the arm of the woman in front of her, her head slightly tilted up because her height was very different from Elena's.

"Still can't, madam. Mr. Brian won't let you go anywhere," said Elena refusing.

Anna was stunned for a moment to hear the woman's words. Indirectly, it means she can't meet Dave, her son.

"I'll have Kevin get your bag," she added.

"Is that true?" Anna returned to her upright position.

"Yes, madam. You just wait here," replied Elena, nodding.

"A-alright, thanks in advance."

"No need to thank me, madam. I was just doing what I was supposed to do," said Elena.

"Then excuse me," she added again, saying goodbye for the second time to Anna.

"Ah, y-yes."

After that Elena turned and disappeared behind the door, leaving Anna alone in the room.

Suddenly the woman's leg muscles felt weak and could not support her weight, Anna fell on her knees on the carpet.

Her current thoughts never leave Dave and Naila.

Anna suddenly remembered what Carlos had said a few minutes ago, she then got up and went to a table on which there was a landline.

Maybe she could use that thing to contact Naila.
