    Scott watched Anna and her new fling from the VIP section as they hit it off. He was brooding over what had happened earlier and watching her laugh and joke with another man just made him furious. Was she stupid or what? Didn't she know that the guy she was talking to was just trying to get into her pants?! Was she still naive?! How can she not see the signs of a flirt on that blonde idiot but she could clearly make him the bad guy anytime he tried to flirt with her. The guy was trying to get her drunk on purpose and she was falling for his trap. What was wrong with her?!

    He was beginning to get upset over the fact that Anna seemed so carefree while talking to a total stranger. Scott was surrounded by two ladies who were doing their best in getting him for the night, but he wouldn't budge as his focus was rather on Anna. The blonde guy kept running his fingers up and down Anna's back. He just can't keep his hands to himself, can he? Scott scoffed at the guy.

    Why should he even care?! She had given him a slap that he would forever remember, his mother had never hit him in his life, and Anna dared to fucking imprint on his multi-million dollar face! Yet, there he was, still watching out for her, making sure she wouldn't do anything stupid. She was the mother of his Isabelle, Scott kept telling himself that it was the only reason for keeping an eye on her.

    Just then, he had had enough of the show, he was going there to stop her from her craziness.

      "Excuse me ladies." Scott gently pushed off the blonde girl who clinged unto him like a leech.

     "You're leaving us?" The younger dark haired girl pouted, giving him seductive eyes

    "Sorry girls." He stood up. "But I've got some babymama shit to take care of." He said before walking away.

    Anna was getting drowsy, she had spent almost an hour talking to Gail, and with the way his fingers soothed her back, she felt calm.

     "You're so beautiful Anna..." He leaned closer to her, whispering into her ears.

    Anna felt his hands rubbing her thigh. She slipped his hand away but he replaced it. "Stop." Anna leaned away, reaching for a glass of vodka.

   As soon as she reached for it, a hand grabbed it from her hand. She looked up, only to see Scott.

    "You sonofabitch!" Scott angrily grabbed Gail by the scruff of his neck, slamming his head down the countertop, pinning him there.

    "What the fuck!!!" Gail yelled in utter shock as blood oozed from his mouth due to the force of his face colliding with the hard countertop.

     Anna froze, staring at Scott. "Let him go!" She said to him but Scott didn't budge. "I said let him..." She tried to pull Scott away but he was much too stronger.

    "Don't take that glass Anna, he spiked it." Scott warned her.

     Anna raised a brow at him. "Have you lost your mind?! Why won't you leave me alone?" She glared at him.

    "I am saving you from this asshole." Scott slammed Gail's head again on the countertop, making Gail cry out. "For a man like you, you surely cry like a pussy." Scott spared him no mercy, as his eyes blazed with anger.

    "What is wrong with you?! For goodness sake let him go, you're accusing him falsely." Anna stared daggers at him.

    "It's true Anna, I just saw him slip something into that shot you were about to take." Scott told her.

     Anna glanced at Gail who looked harmless as he struggled against Scott's firm hold. It angered her that Scott was a bully. "You have lost your damn mind." She grabbed the glass. "Why would he want to spike me?"

     "Anna don't you dare... Anna!!" Before Scott could stop her from drinking the glass of vodka, Anna had already gulped down the enter glass immediately. "Why the fuck did you do that?!" He had released his grip on Gail, turning to Anna in horror and anger.

     "Gail is innocent, see, nothing happened! Get away from me." Anna glared at him, very infuriated. She stood up and stomped away while a few people took note of what was happening.

     Scott turned to Gail who was a mess. He suddenly grabbed Gail by the collar, throwing a few punches on his face. "You fucking piece of shit! I saw what you did." After Scott was satisfied with almost disfiguring Gail's face, he ran out to look for Anna.

    She hadn't gotten that far as he found her staggering to keep her balance steady.

    "To think I'm the crazy one!" Scott caught up with her, holding her. "What were you thinking drinking that shit?! I told you not to drink it!" He gritted his teeth in annoyance. "You are so stubborn! What if he poisoned you?"

   "Don't touch me, I can... I can handle myself." Anna stumbled forward. "God my head is spinning." She fell backwards and Scott caught her.

    "He drugged you sweetheart." Scott shook his head. "Please don't be heavy." He lifted her up in bridal style.

    Anna's eyes were barely opened. "What are you doing? Pu-put me d-down." She said groggily.

    "You can't walk." He said, carrying her away.

     Good thing he came in his car, he carried Anna to his car and with great effort, he put her in the passenger seat, helping her to buckle her seatbelt.

   "Where are you taking me to?" Anna whispered, feeling her body giving out.

  Scott looked up at her face after helping her with the seatbelt. "You're safe." He stared at her slightly parted lips. How he wanted to kiss it. "Anna?" He called her and she hmmed. "Would you forgive me if I kissed you right now?" There was no response from her, meaning that she already lost consciousness. Scott sighed. He stood, slamming the car door shut before proceeding to the driver seat.

     Every minute he drove, he glanced at her. He couldn't help but monitor the raising and falling of her chest every five seconds to make sure she was alive. If he ever found that man that spiked her, Scott was not going to spare him. It was a good thing he kept a watchful eye on her as he was quick to notice the blonde guy slip something into Anna's drink on time. Damn it! Anna was really crazy!! What if she died?! How could she be so careless?!

    Scott found himself worried about her. He didn't want anything to happen to her, after all, she was his Anna.

................................................................................

     She stretched out her hands and legs widely but then she felt her leg poking something. A human body. Was Isla sleeping beside her? She kept on poking. The body felt different. Maybe Naraya? Anna wanted Naraya to roll over so she could stretch properly but Naraya didn't move, she then kicked. She kicked again. Anna heard a groan, and she kicked the person again, this time harder. 

    "Ow, Please stop doing that?" The masculine voice begged and asked tiredly.

   Anna's eyes flew open as soon as she heard the foreign voice. She became alert. Her eyes wandered around the place. This... This wasn't her room... Nor her apartment... But it looked familiar. She thought for a while, and then it hit her. She sat up abruptly. Turning to her side, she saw him laying on his stomach, with his head facing towards the long windows. The comforter was down to his waist and he was... Shirtless?

     Maybe she was dreaming. She thought. She shut her eyes for some seconds. Maybe it was only an illusion. She opened her left eye slowly to check if her illusion had faded but it didn't. Then she opened both her eyes again and she screamed in panic even though she noticed her clothes were still on and she didn't feel tenderness or sore.

      Scott opened his eyes halfway, without turning, his hand searched for a pillow. He grabbed one from Anna's end and placed it over his head.

      Anna's voice finally died down. She began to take in short breaths, trying to calm her panicky state. Soon she turned to Scott who paid absolutely no attention to her. "You filthy pervert!!!" She pounced on him with her fist hitting him anywhere she felt would hurt.

    Scott was forced to get up and stop her. "Can't someone get a decent sleep?" He said after grabbing her hands. "You kept kicking, screaming and now you're hitting me. You're so violent." He raised a brow at her.

    "Let me go you beast!!" She struggled to pull from his grip but he was way stronger.

     Scott wasn't even putting any effort to restrain her.

     "I'm going to scream." Anna threatened him. She wanted to murder him instantly.

    "Oh good, go ahead. Let me remind you we are the only ones here." He frowned at her.

    Anna was about screaming when in one swift movement, Scott covered her mouth with his hand, fell her back on the bed and stayed on her, looming around her.

    "I didn't touch you, I didn't even hold you, I didn't invade your space. I might be horny as fuck, but I am not a rapist. I don't take advantage of woman who are unconscious or gullible. I still have decency and a heart. So please, can we just go back to sleeping peacefully.... Please?" He said in his serious voice, giving her a frown while his hand was placed over her mouth. "Are we good?" He raised a brow.

   Anna nodded slowly. She was in a state shock.

  Scott slowly released her mouth and then smiled. "Good morning sweetheart." He said, getting off her.

    "You. Are. Such. A. Pig." Anna sat up throwing the nearest pillow at him in anger.

    "Sweetheart I saved you last night." Scott smirked at her.

    "You saved me? More like you took advantage of me." Anna glared at him.

    Scott shrugged. "I need to sleep, you wanna come back to bed with me?" He smirked again.

       Anna groaned in frustration. "How did I get here?!"

    "You fell asleep and I brought you here." Scott told her.

     "You should have just taken me home." Anna threw another pillow at him but he caught it.

   He faked a thinking face. "I didn't think of that." Scott said, waving his hand carelessly.

  "And why on the same bed huh? You dirty minded bastard slept with your shirt off, and for what huh?" Anna glared in annoyance.

    "One, this is my house, two, this is my room, three, I wanted to be beside you in case you needed assistance if you woke up." Scott told her frankly. "You don't expect me to sleep on a couch when it's my room, do you?"

  "Assistance with what? Passing water?" She gave him a dirty look.

    "Jesus Anna! You also have a dirty mind. Assist you if you needed to drink water or something." Scott rolled his eyes at her.

     "You're so shameless!" She huffed, getting out of bed.

     "Sweetheart, where are you going?" Scott asked her.

     Anna straightened her dress. "Sweetheart my ass! I am going far away from here." She snapped, looking around for her shoes.

    "But I haven't done anything wrong." Scott ran his hands through his hair. "A thank you would have gone a long way you know." He told her.

    "I didn't ask for your help." She found her shoes by a corner before storming out of the bedroom.

   "Hold on! Let me see you off!" Scott hurried out of bed to meet up with Anna. "This tempered woman!" He groaned. He quickly took a shirt laid on a chair and raced after Anna.

   "Anna! Anna!" Scott grabbed her hand, forcefully turning her around and she bumped into his chest.

    Anna looked up at him, following his eyes and did not notice his arms wrap around her body.

     "Please tell me you wanna kiss me." Scott pulled her closer, staring at her lips. He didn't bother to hide his strong desire for her.

    She was about to push him off and insult him when she saw his cheek. Anna froze instantly. "Wa-wait," she allowed him pull her closer, pressing his body against hers.

    "Sweetheart?" Scott smiled sweetly.

    "I-I-I did that?" Her eyes seemed to be filled with concern. Her hand went up to his cheek, and she caressed it softly.

    Scott gaped at her, he wasn't expecting the reaction. But he was loving that she did care so he decided to pretend. "Ow, it hurts." Scott pretended to be in pain. "So painful." He hoped he really convinced her by playing the victim.

     Scott leaned in to kiss her luscious lips, when Anna kneed him in the crotch. Taken by surprise, Scott released Anna almost losing his balance as his hands immediately flying to his junior.

    "That serves you right!" Anna pointed an angry finger at him.

    He groaned in utter pain. "What did you do that for?!"

    "Don't think I am stupid Mr Ontario. It's good I left my mark on your face, it will serve as a reminder not to mess with me you jerk." Anna sneered at him before walking out.

   Dammit?! So she was only pretending to care about the mark she left on his face?! Damn her! He seethed in pain and anger.
🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

  
    Anna ordered an uber to take her home. What kind of mother was she?! Leaving her six year old alone for the whole night?! She hurried to get home. Looking at the time, it was past 9am.

    She finally got home, she opened the door which she had a spare key to. It only took some seconds before Isla ran into the living room.

    "Mommy!!" She hugged Anna's legs.

   "Honey bunch I am so sorry." Anna said hugging her daughter.

    "It's okay." Isla grinned. "Dee and I are making pizza." She said to Anna.

    "Wow." She exclaimed, following Isla into the kitchen. She saw Daniel wearing an apron on his Lycra shirt, he looked really different without his usual business outfit, he preferred cleanshaven unlike his brother Scott. The way his hands handled the dough made Anna smile.

    "Good morning." Daniel caught her staring at him and he smiled back.

     "Hey." Anna waved, standing by the doorway. "I'm really sorry, I should have called. Thank you so much."

     "Don't thank me Anna. Babysitting is fun." He gave a toothy grin.

    Anna nodded, "I better go freshen up then." She said ruffling her daughter's hair before leaving.

     She took a warm shower. She wasn't in the mood to go to the restaurant so she decided to stay home. Anna wore a black camisole and denim shorts, she let her hair hang down her back.

   "Where's Isla?" Anna asked, walking into the living room. She had met Daniel sitting on an armchair while he was busy with some work files.

    Daniel looked up at her. "She is in her room." He unconsciously checked her out. "You're not going to the restaurant?"

    "No, I'm a bit tired." Anna went over, standing beside him. "How about you?" She slipped her fingers into his dark hair.

    "It's Saturday. I cleared all my schedule and business meeting too, I needed a break." He said, looking up at her. "I wanna spend the day here, the atmosphere here is less tense and vibrant." He smiled at her. "How was your outing with Naraya?"

     She chuckled before sitting on the arm of the chair. "It was okay." She shrugged, she didn't want to go into details. Anna was sure that Daniel was going to reprimand her for accommodating a stranger and getting drugged.

     He nodded slowly, turning back to his files. "We're expanding our mining operations, we're going into oil. There's so much to be done, a lot of paperworks that need approval." Daniel sighed, using his fore finger to scratch his brow.

     "I know that I am not an expert or guru in your family business, but, if there is anything you need help with, that I can do, do not hesitate to ask me, okay?" Anna said to him.

     Daniel shrugged as he signed a paper. "You can just be by my side, it helps me a lot."

    Anna laughed but then she remembered her conversation with Rhonda, she instantly removed her fingers from Daniel's hair.

    "Why'd you stop? I was enjoying that." Daniel said as soon as he felt Anna's fingers slip away.

     Just as she was about to answer, they both heard a knock on the door followed by a doorbell ring.

     "That must be Naraya." Anna stood up, heading towards the door.

   She unlocked the door, throwing it open.

     "Sweetheart, you forget your purse at my place." Scott smirked at her, holding a black kelly bag in his hand.

     Anna batted her lashes at him perplexed. Before she knew what was happening Scott invited himself in.

    "No wait! You can't go..." She tried to stop him but it was two late.

     Anna looked forth and back at the two brothers who were more surprised to see themselves.

    Just great. She thought dryly.
