Anna nodded and dashed out.

Closing hour, Anna stays behind waiting for James it been hour of her waiting, but he is nowhere to be found, Anna was about to go to his office when she saw he's coming towards her.

"Let go." James said getting to her.

Anna fumed in angry, he kept her waiting for over an hour, and he couldn't apologize, how rude.

Dalton Mansion,

"Wait here, I will be back." James said to Anna. When they arrived, there was no one in the living room.

As James arrived at his grandfather's room. Mrs Dalton was setting with his grandfather. It looks there were talking about something serious. Because, their face looks serious.

"Your grandson is here I think I should leave you guys." Mrs Dalton said when she noticed James in the room.

She stood up, she gave James a death glance before she walked past him towards the door.

"Good evening Grandpa." James greeted as he moves closer to his grandfather

"Good evening Grandson" making an attempted to stand up with the help of his cane James ran over to help him.

"Fine, grandpa how is your body?"

"Am fine son, Where in my granddaughter. Do you come together?"

"Yes, she is downstairs."

"Let's go" They both left Mr Dalton room to the room.

Meanwhile, Anna in the living room stood up as she saw Mr Dalton and James descending the stairs.

"Good evening Grandpa."

Anna said as she walked over to support him.

"Evening, Anna how are you?"

They went to the dinning room, and

the maid served the food.

"let eat while we talk" Mr Dalton said.

"Anna hope James is treating you well, is not treating you bad."

Anna looked up from her plate, "yes Grandpa, He is treating me well." Anna said with a smile.

"James that's good of you. But if treating you bad don't hesitate to tell Grandpa, Grandpa will fight for you."

Anna nodded.

"What about your honeymoon" grandfather said.

"Honeymoon." James frowned brow.

Anna was also stunned, she stopped in the mid of her food.

"Yes, you two just got married you need to go for you need to go for your honeymoon" grandpa said.

"Grandpa there is no need for the honeymoon, and again I have work to do."

"You have to go for your honeymoon. You two just got married and here you are telling me you have work to do, if you did not go for the honeymoon, then when will you have time for your wife." grandpa shouted as he slammed the table, He was so furious on his grandson. He started think if they really love each other. Or it just marriage on agreement he made up is mind to investigate them.

Anna trembled, while Mrs Dalton was enjoying what was happening.

Grandpa later calms down "where will you like to go for your honeymoon Anna?."

" Italy"Anna glanced at James before she replied nervously.

Then it's fixed "you will be leaving a day after tomorrow" with that. Grandpa stood up and left with the support of his cane and his butler.

"You two just got married, but you value your work more than your wife" Mrs Dalton burst out.

"And so." James replied annoying going to honeymoon is already giving headache now his stepmother is now adding to it.

"Are you sure you love each other?" questioned with a smirk

"Whether I love my wife or not is none of you business." James said as he held Anna hand and pulled her out.

+++++++++++

Anna and James are now on James private plane flying to Italy for their honeymoon.

James was busy doing some work on his laptop while Anna was chatting with Emily.

Anna turned to James he was still busy on his laptop, she leaned her head on the window and drifted off.

When James turned to see Anna she has already fallen asleep he watches her and lip his curled into a smile. He tried to wake her up by patting her 'hmm' she murmured, but she didn't open her eyes he patted her again 'hmm' she murmured trying open her eyes

"we will be landing in 20minute get set" James said and Anna nodded.

By the time they land off the driver is already waiting for them.

"Mr James" he greeted

James nodded "get in" he gestured to Anna.

She got in the car and James followed her in.

"Where is that?" Anna asked pointing at a place she saw through the window.

"That is Amalfi Coast, I will take you there in one of the days we will spend here."

"Really." Anna turned to face James. James nodded. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

Anna was stunned all this time she never sees him smile. "You look more handsome when you smile." James looked away trying frown his face. Anna saw his reaction but said nothing. 

They arrived at a Mansion, own by James. He has a Mansion here in Italy because he works much here so instead of lounging at hostel he bought a mansion so he could stay whenever he comes for work or vacations.

"Welcome to Italy."

"Wow, this is so beautiful."

"Is it yours." Anna asked surprisly.

"yeah, I brought it because I usually work here" James explained.

"it is so amazing." Anna said looking around the building.

"Let's get in you must be tired after the journey." James walked in and

Anna followed him in.

"Here will be your room, mine is at the other side." James said and left.

Anna laid back on her bed and brought out her phone from her pocket, she lifted it in a midair and dial on her friend contact.

"Hey sweetheart." Emily cheerful voice was at said at the other end of the call.

"Hey"

"Whattup, why is your voice so dull?"

"Because my so call bestie has dished me, me the only love."

"Oooh am so sorry sweetheart."

"No I am mad."

"Don't be Anna, I broke up with Edward. It happened a day after your wedding." Emily saw he at the bar with another a lady they were kissing.

Since then, she was broken she turned off her phone, didn't call or picked any calls.

She turned on her phone yesterday evening that is why Anna was able to reach her today.

"Hi sorry dear why don't you tell me about it."

"You just got married, I don't want disturb you and your husband

"Oh my God! You guys had a sex."

"What ! Hell no."

"James kissed you."

"Not again, can't you think of other thing, think positively Emily."

"I can't think of anything girl."

"I am in Italy!, my dream country." Anna shouted.

"Are you kidding me like are you serious."

"I am damn serious, I am here for my honeymoon."

"Ohh my bad, I forgot you are now married to a billionaire." Emily laughed.

"I am happy for girl."

"Thank you" Anna noticed someone behind her so she turned to see James standing at the door.

"I will talk to you later, bye." she said to the person at the other end of the call with that she hanged up.

"The dinner is ready comedown to have your dinner" James said, and he left she followed him out of the room.

"It is late already we can't go out today what about I show you around the Mansion.

Anna nodded "okay" and stood up

James smiled and followed her.

James showed Anna around the Mansion, the garden, the pool, and now they are at the terrace.

"Wow" Anna exclaimed.

'Can we sit here." Anna said.

James went to take his seat, Anna also sat beside him.

The atmosphere is freshing as the breeze was blowing Anna's face and her hair." This place is amazing, I love it." 

"You do" he asked turning to face her

Anna nodded it a perfect place to clear mind as she wants about talking. Anna lifted her head to see James is already looking to her,

His lip is one inch from her, she shifted back.

"Hmm, although this is fake marriage and none of us is allowed to have an attraction towards each other. At least can we be friends, I don't like the way we are just sitting here quiet.it is so boring." she said nervously it was visible on her. She lifted her head to face him,

Hmm, friends okay."

"Really."

"Yeah."
