Wedding dates

Anna's POV 

Nicholas dropped me at home and I was not expecting the scene waiting for me inside.

Rafe was discussing with Dad in a low tone.

What the hell is he doing here?

The last time I spoke or saw him was the day we went on a date before the news of our engagement went viral.

I'm grateful it was all a rumor.

"Anna, can you come here quickly?" Mom appeared at the top of the stairs and gestured for me to follow her.

I didn't even notice she was standing there.

"Good morning Mom" I greeted softly but full of curiosity.

I am supposed to go to Lily's place to check on her right now but I'm getting delayed.

"Where were you last night?" She asked. Her eyes appraised me.

"Huh?

I was with a friend?" I replied with a frown.

"The king had ordered your father and Chairman Bolton to end their feud.

And also to continue with their initial agreement" she explained calmly.
