TOM POV:

While talking to the CEO of the biggest entertainment in the country, Tom Could not concentrate, a lot of things crossed his mind, he was worried about Anna. he was thinking that Kevin didn't;t miss his chance, he was thinking that Kevin put some drugs on her drinks and do something bad to Anna.

he didn't trust Kevin so much. thus he's not able to think carefully, he is quiet in his seat while the two middle-aged men are busy talking about their business and life.

Marvin notices that his son is uneasy, he always checks his phone and feels irritable.

Tom excused himself. he got out of the restaurant and looked for Anna. he saw Anna with Kevin, they were enjoying having dinner while watching the fireworks outside.

he walks in, Kevin sees him walking toward them

"your brother is coming !" he whispered

"brother? who?" she looked back and she was surprised when she saw Tom walking toward them

Anna followed him by look, she gave him a suspicious look.

"what are you doing in here?" Anna asked him seriously

"Nothing, the meeting with the CEO was kind of boring so, I came here to have dinner... it's a restaurant, I can eat in here, why I am not allowed in here?" he asked

Anna and Kevin looked at him and didn't say a word.

"here...sitting with us," Anna says "There's a lot of available tables there," she says while pointing to their parallel

" yes... This spot is my favorite..my fiance's favorite this...you know Mildred right?" he asked Anna

Anna gulped his saliva and took a deep breath

'You know Kevin" he looked at him " I had a friend, before, she was kind at the very beginning but I found out her true color for a few months...she's a digger," he said

Anna drank her water

"digger?" he asked

"yes, I was sick of her intellectual flimflam, after she ruined my life" if I were you Kevin Dot get palsy-walsy when meeting someone for the first time, be careful" he continued "You know nowadays, the world is too cruel for us if we were not using our brain "

Kevin smiled, "what happened to your friend?"

"Hm I don't know, how I wish she was dead"

Anna was hurt, her chest felt something stuck, she felt tightened and unable to breathe,

Tom looked at her and narrowed her eyebrows, he was furious and mad at her, he wanted to ruin her day. he's happy to see her reaction.

"Kevin tell me, how long have you known Anna?" he asked while playing with the fork in the table, he rotated it into his finger

Kevin looked at Anna and he gave her his sweetest smile

"not long, I think " he replied " But I knew Anna since she was in freshman " he added

"ows" he commented "I knew Anna a few months ago...but I know something about her, you never knew before" he added

"Could you please stop it " Anna was irritated

Tom smiled at her "What is wrong Anna?" he asked

"you seem upset?" Kevin noticed

"Yes, you seem upset Anna, did I say something bothered you ?" he asked

Anna looked at Tom, her eyes glaring like on fire, she was upset yet she controlled her emotion

"Why are you still in here, can't you see we're in the middle of..." she grinned

"What?" he was pretending "You two are dating ...oh no! Can't be," he said

Kevin was surprised

"why?... were both single, "

" single?" Tom pretended he was surprised and he chuckled so that everyone could hear him. "single?" he said again " Anna is single" Then he laughed

Anna bit the lower corner lips, she was angry and rolled her eyes.

"What... what ?" Kevin was curious "What did I miss?" he asked " Don't tell me Anna you had already a boyfriend now" he was thrilled

"boyfriend ?" Tom interrupted "of course not " he answered him while laughing " you did not tell him?" Tom looked at Anna pretended he was concerned to Kevin

Anna remained quiet and wanted to slap him

"she's engaged Kevin... she's engaged," Tom said "Oops!"

Kevin was surprised "You were engaged?" he said

"Oh, I am so sorry, I never thought you keep it from him" he excused and walked away from them

"I am so sorry Kevin, It's not what you think " she explained

Kevin chuckles and doesn't want to believe him

he looked at Anna's eyes and "Tell me, it's not true Anna "

Anna wanted to lie at him but her heart doesn't want to hurt him " I am so sorry, I didn't mean to lie about that " she explained

a few seconds ago, Kevin stood up and walk away from her

Anna was hurt, her eyes filled with tears, she didn't move an inch, she remained sat on the chair and looked outside. he looked down and her tears fell down on her lap. he drank her water, coz her chest tightens and unable to breathe, she controlled her crying, she put her hands on her lips and she cannot hold her tears to fall down on her cheeks.

after an hour, she walk out of the restaurant and saw Tom walking in the hallway, she followed him and shouted at him

"HAPPY NOW?" She angrily said

Tom turned around and he sarcastically looked at her "not satisfied...I wanted you to feel what Mildred is feeling right now...I wanted you to feel how to hurt deep down inside of your bone," he said and he slowly put his lips on her ear and whispered" What I have done to you is just a beginning Anna"

Anna grip her wrist and narrowed her eyebrows, she looked away and was unable to control her tears falling down. she secretly wiped it and walked away from him.

Tom remained standing and followed her by the look

When Marvin came, Tom and his father went home. While in the garage,

"LQ?" he asked

"what?" he closed the door of his car

"with Anna, I saw what happened in the hallway," he said " it's not my intention to eavesdrop" he explained

"Tom sighed " I don't want to talk about it... I'm tired " he excused while walking into the kitchen door

" Anna is a good girl," Marvin said

"So?" he replied and turned back "Mildred is a good woman too" he added

"Im not comparing them Tom...What I am telling you is Don't hurt her feelings" he commented

"she is the reason why Mildred and I having difficulties now, can't you see that... even until now Mildred and I haven't talked after the engagement party, coz I don't even know where the heck is she?" he said

they both remained quiet

"I don't even know why you both are obsessed with Anna, "

Obsessed?" he asked " we are not Tom" he explained

" then Why? she is not Mildred, she is nothing like her, I don't have any reason to like her " he added " oh! I THINK SHE IS A GOLD DIGGER " HE SAID

"wHAT?" His father replied " you should respect her, if you don't like her, don't embarrass her in front of her friends" he says " don't hurt her feelings" he added

" I am tired... she's not worth my time," he says and walked into the door

" She's the right heir of the company," Marvin says

Tom stopped and looked back at him , he was surprised and laughed at him
