Fighting for her 2

Music recommendation : Bullet by NF.

[Anna's POV]

A woman dressed in a white pristine gown spoke behind me. 'There is no provision for anyone to sit down here.'

The deliberate cruelty of her words cut through me like knife. I knew who that voice belonged to and pushed my seat back. This dinner was not for me and it sucked. I was better off alone.

Jacob was quick to leap to my defense. 'Anna stays.'

I look at him with a suprised look on my face. He stood up for me. Why?

'Anna stays.' Jacob repeats.

'You know her, Jay?' Adolph ask Jacob.

'I do.' Jacob answers and gives me a reassuring smile.

'Don't worry. I'll get out of your hair,' I turned away from there.

'Anna!' Jacob came after me. He caught my hands in his. 'Wait!'

'Let me go right now.' I say with my back turned to him.

He claps my shoulder. 'What are you hiding?'
