Chapter 3

Her boyfriend Harry Walk-in

"What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in? And how did you know I'm here? She asked, her voice shaking.

"Baby calmed down"," he said while walking close to her and trying to hug her.

"Wow, you think after everything you did I will gladly hug you. You must be very st**d.

Didn't you dare come close to me" she yelled at him

Harry took a step backward with a serious look on his face "Let me explain. Okay, calm down". He said in a calm tone.

"Explain what? She yelled at him

I found out that my stepbrother was the one marrying you. So I have to come up with a plan for you to accept his proposal.

Everything that happened was part of my plan to make you agree to this marriage. Take a look around, don't you like what you see?

"What do you mean by a stepbrother?," she asked, her voice low

Harry took a deep breath before answering her question, "Jackson is my stepbrother!". He said.

She sat on her bed, tears flowing down her cheeks ``You mean I married your stepbrother? She asked

"Baby calm down! Harry said at the same time walking close to her.

"When I found out that Jackson was the one marrying you, I came up with a plan just to make you accept the marriage". He said

"Wow. Sleeping with another woman was part of your plan? Anna asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"That was the only thing I could come up with, Am sorry. He said, his voice low

"I thought you loved me? she asked

"Yes, baby, I love you but marrying him is for the best. Think about it we can have everything we ever Wish for with his money and properties.

"You are his wife now you could have access to all his money and properties. We will run away with his money and live our dream life".

"Get out," she shouted.

"Baby, think about it. With his money and power, we can live our dream life together.

"Get out of my room before I do something st**d". She yelled at him

"Alright I will come back when you have calmed down, he said while walking out of her room.

The pain and anger were unbearable for her, "How could he do this to me?" She broke into tears, she felt betrayed, she felt used, and she could not describe the pain she was feeling.

"How could you, Harry? She said at the same time she scattered her bed, and her room, and broke anything her hand could touch out of anger. She didn't realize that her towel fell off.

She was about to break her mirror when the door to her room punched open and Jackson walked in.

"What did f**k is going on here?.he asked

His mouth was wide open while looking at Anna's nakedness.

He shakes his head trying to ignore the sexy body in front of him.

"You need to learn how to knock before entering a girl's room, Mr Jackson. She said while still standing naked.

He smiled "You are my wife and I don't need anyone's permission to enter your room, you need to get used to that.

He walked closer to her, picked up her towel, and trapped it around her. "You look hot," he whispered in her ear.

Anna's heart starts beating fast as she feels Jackson's hand around her.

A soft knock on the door interrupted them.

"Ma'am, dinner is ready, " one of his chefs said behind the door.

" Okay, I'm coming. She replied.

Jackson left her room. Leaving Anna to get dressed, he ordered one of his boys to arrange Anna's room and replace the things she broke.

She got dressed and made her way to the door, immediately she opened the door, the smell of Huevos rancheros wafted in. She followed the aroma downstairs with a smile on her face admiring the beauty of her new home.

Her smile faded away when she saw her husband waiting for her in the dining room.

"Can I take my food upstairs? she asked.

"not allowed" he answered, without looking at her.

She sat down, eating her food quietly. Avoiding eye contact with her husband.

"You will be going with one of the drives tomorrow to get some few things for yourself. He said, his voice calm.

"No, I don't need anything, I can manage what I have, thank you. She said.

"It's an order, You have no choice, dear, Here, this is my gift to you, wear it before going tomorrow, and don't you dare disobey me. He said, his voice harsh. He left the dining room. Leaving Anna sitting there alone.

She kept staring at the gift box in front of her, as soon as Jackson left, she grab the box and opened it, it was a diamond necklace. "Wow, she said, with her mouth wide open. Mrs. Jackson was the pendant of the necklace.

She walked to her room, and she lay on her bed feeling the soft sheet around her. She looked around her luxury room, the furniture, and the beautiful painting hanging on the walls. A text message on her phone interrupted her thoughts.

The message was from her best-friend Nova, saying she is back.

She called Nova and told her about everything she is facing. The arranged marriage, her boyfriend. And how she missed her. They both exchanged a friendly talk before ending the call.

Anna slowly open her eyes and turned feeling the softness of her bed. She sat up and pick her up to call her dad when she heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Good morning ma'am, a voice from outside. "Your breakfast is ready.

She got up from her bed and made her way downstairs. In the dining room, a table was set with a variety of breakfast items, including a healthy sandwich. Anna sat down quickly, taking a sip of her hot tea.

She looked around and couldn't see Jackson, she asked one of the chef, "where is your boss?" Not as if she cared.

"He had an urgent business meeting to attend this morning, ma'am," the chef responded

"Good morning ma'am, it is time for you to go shopping, I am your driver and am the one accompanying you". A voice from behind.

She turned around facing him "ohh, that's true, just give me 20 minutes to get ready.

She rushed to her room and took a quick shower. She got ready in a black floral dress that reached her knees and tied her hair in a pony. She walked over to the dressing mirror. She looked at herself with a smile on her face. She put on the necklace Jackson gave her around her neck.

She smiled, looking at herself in the mirror. "I am now Mrs. Jackson, she said to herself, looking at the necklace" She looked at the mirror again, "I am Mrs Jackson. She blurted out.

Her door burst open, and her boyfriend Harry walked in.

Anna eyed Harry as he walked in. " what are you doing here?" She asked, her voice stern and cold.

"Hello sweetheart, he said, walking close to her.

"Stop right there! why are you here? she questioned.

Harry sat on Anna's bed with his legs crossed. "Don't I have the right to come see girlfriend? He said looking Anna straight in the eyes.

Anna stepped forward, "you have lost that right, Harry. And am a married woman now, stop barging into my room like that.

"What, wow, since when did you start having interest in this marriage? I thought you didn't want to marry him. He said, his voice taking on a hard edge.

"Didn't you want me to marry him after all? She questioned harry

"Yes, I wanted you to marry him. But for us to get his money And properties so that we can have our dream life. You can even kill him or pretend to love him so that we can get access to his money and properties and elope together. He said in a calm tone.

"What, are you serious right now? She took a deep breath. Look, Harry, I will never be part of this your plan, I can never kill my husband because of selflessness. I wasn't raised like that. She said, her voice shaking in anger and hurt.

Harry stood up and took a step closer to Anna. "What husband? "Wait, don't tell me you have started having feelings for a Man you just married not less than 48 hours ago. Are you that cheap? He asked.

Her hurt and anger were too much for her bear, she walked closer to Harry, lifted her hand, and left it on Harry's cheek with a loud slap. "How dare you?" She said, her voice shaking with anger and hurt.

"You know what, am done with you, okay, it's over between us. Get out of my room before I call the security on you. She demanded.

"You are going to regret this, Anna, I promise you that".He said while walking out of her room.

She sat on her bed giving herself some minutes to calm down. She got downstairs and the driver opened the car door for her. She climbed into the back of a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, one of her dream cars.

She sat in the car, the difference though going through her head.

"Will I be happy in this marriage?

"Accepting this marriage was it a bad decision?

"How will I make this marriage work?
