Chapter 6

Mahlon hugged Anastasia tightly in his arms as if his life depended on it. she felt comfortable in his arms, she felt home,she has never felt so much love from a man.

Mahlon smirked when he felt Anastasia return his hug,which made him to hug her more tightly.He found her to be naughty and shy at the same time.

Mahlon let go of Anastasia and looked at her beautiful Pink lips everything about her was what he wanted. He had the urge to be with her alone in the room but he kept wondering if Anastasia would approve of him but he needed to give her more time to be comfortable,looking at her he could tell that she has been through a lot.

He wanted to know if she feels the same about him.

When his grandfather told him about marrying the daughter of the former president he became cold, he felt sidelined by his grandfather's decision to find him a wife without his knowledge or without consulting

him.

He didn’t understand why his grandfather choose the daughter of the former president,he has heard alot about the former president but he didn't know that he has a lady.

He wondered what his grandfather was hiding by arranging marriagefor him, he didn't think much about it and asked his assistant to look into it that's when he discovered it was the Lady he once met within the neighboring city.

The woman who brought herself to him and asked for protection from him,he remembers vividly how miserable she was when she came running and crying,however what he didn't understand is how the former president kept everything away from the media and without involving the police.

Mahlon kept looking at Anastasia wondering why someone wanted to harm her, did she offend anyone or it was the president who has many enemies. Mahlon has heard of the former president's past deeds but he didn't pay much attention to them. He was interrupted when Anastasia asked to excuse herself. Mahlon sent a female bodyguard to escort Anastasia since she wasn't familiar with the place, she didn't refuse his offer.

She only pardoned herself to run away from Mahlon’s gaze. what is he thinking about, she wondered.

She flushed some water on her face and made her way to the private room with the female bodyguard by her side.

She was almost at the door when she saw a man, he looked familiar. His smile was what made her notice him, he looked like he was in his late 50's she stared at him trying to recognize his face and at that moment a beautiful elegant Lady appeared by his side, Eden Blue the Queen of the city had a cheerful smile on her face as they made their way to Anastasia.

Dad," meet Anastasia Angel the daughter of Francis Angel the former president"

Aiden blue Sr nodded his head and responded"nice seeing you miss Angel."

“Your father is one of the best presidents we have had in the country and he is still admired by many.”

Aiden's blue voice became dangerous when he mentioned Francis Angel. he was glad no one noticed, he later excused himself.

"What are you doing here?” Eden asked Anastasia

" How is that your business" she responded.

"Just wondering who has the guts to take someone who went missing for a year without anyone having a clue, if that's not enough she was rescued by unknown men"

Anna groaned, "you asshole"

Mahlon decided to show up at that time to prevent the ladies from tearing each other.

"Where have you been," Mahlon asked Anastasia.

She had her head down, she was embarrassed, they just quarreled by the door and she knew Mahlon just came out to rescue her from what was becoming a bad day.

Eden ran into Mahlon’s arms, “Mahlon I don't know what have done to her, she even called me names and started insulting me.” crying and continue “ you can ask the boy bodyguard, she was present when all this was happening.”

Mahlon held Eden in his arms but his eyes were on Anastasia who looked like she was surprised how Eden changed and acted wronged.

Liz has warned her countless times to stay away from her, what Liz has been being saying is true she is a snake a very dangerous snake for that matter, she knows explaining might complicate things but she went into the private room got her handbag, and left without saying a word to Mahlon or try to explain herself.

Eden was pleased with Anastasia's reaction and decided to hold Mahlon tight.

Mahlon was not impressed with Edens's behavior at that moment but pushing her away was not part of his agenda.

Anastasia walked as fast as she could, she kept looking back hoping Mahlon followed her but it wasn't like that he chose Eden she has always been by his side and who was she, just a daughter of the most hated president ever she can't be compared to Eden, Eden is beautiful, her Billboards are everywhere. As she was lost in her nostalgia a black Bentley was following her behind.

Suddenly a man hugged her from behind the smell of mint was enough to know who it was, she was taken to the car and found Bruno was the one driving she sent her friends a message.

"Might get laid tonight" she wrote.

Her phone was full of messages from her two friends asking who it was but she gave them no reply.

Bruno pulled up at the penthouse and informed his boss.

"We have arrived Mr. Brown," he said.

Mahlon got out and opened the door for her, the moment they entered the room he gave her a kiss he could tell she was not going to stop him by the way she was looking at him.

He couldn't believe she was there with him in his bed, he knew for his grandfather to choose her there must be something to it.
