Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Then married a man named Nicho and had a child.

As simple as that information he knew about Anna.

A ragged sigh escaped from between Devan's lips.

Lost in thought, suddenly his cell phone rang making him startled.

That's Leo.

If his memory was clear, lately his cousin had contacted him less often than usual.

"Hello," Devan decided to answer the incoming call.

"Hello, Devan where are you?" Leo asked matter-of-factly.

"According to you?"

"Oh come on, I'm serious. Are you at home or office?" Leo asked again just to be sure.

"In the office."

"Okay, fine," Leo replied then ended the call unilaterally without waiting for a response from Devan.

The first time, it was Leo who ended their call, because usually, it was Devan who did it.

Weird.

After that, Devan sat back in his oversized chair and began to finish one by one the documents he had to sign.

***

Brian's Mansion.

_________

It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Anna, Naila, and Dave had just finished dinner.

Currently, they were in the room, Naila and Dave were learning a foreign language, while Anna just watched the two without interrupting.

Another thing that Anna should be grateful for is being blessed with a very smart and intelligent son.

Knock...knock...knock...

At the same time, a squeaky sound was heard indicating the door was open, Elena appeared from behind the door.

"Madam...."

"Yes, yes. No need to say it. I'm going back to the room," Anna interrupted immediately, she already knew what the woman was going to say. What else if not to ask her to back the room.

"Yes, madam," replied Elena.

"Naila, you just continue with Dave. I'll be here again tomorrow," said Anna looking at the girl.

"Okay."

"Erm, dear Dave, I am back in the room, okay?" Anna said while kissing her son's forehead.

"Can't you stay with me a little longer?" asked the boy.

"Are you sleepy already, Mom?" he added again not giving Anna a chance to speak.

Anna who previously wanted to speak now failed, instead she just nodded while gently stroking her son's hair.

"Okay, then Dave is going to bed now too."

"Good night, Mom," added the boy again and rose from his position.

"Good night, honey," Anna replied slowly walking towards the door.

"Naila, take good care of Dave," Anna said again before disappearing behind the door.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. Don't worry, Anna," replied Naila, nodding.

And after that, the door closed tightly.

Naila wouldn't ask why Anna couldn't stay any longer. Because the woman had told her that she was not allowed to sleep late at night by her husband.

Yes, Naila believes it. Because maybe that was one of the affections Brian had for Anna? Although it sounds a little strange, doesn't everyone have a different treatment towards the people they care about?

"Auntie, why don't my mother just sleep here?" Suddenly Dave's voice broke Naila's focus.

"Ah, Dave is a big boy, so Dave has to start self-study," Naila replied.

"That means Auntie will also leave me and not accompany me anymore?" asked the boy in his childlike voice.

"No, honey. I'll always be around you. No matter what."

"Auntie promise?"

Naila nodded with a smile.

"Dave will remember Auntie's promise."

"Yes, Dear."

"Now that it's getting late, Dave better get some sleep, okay?"

"Emmm, ok Auntie," replied the boy nodding and walking to the side of the bed.

After Elena's leave, the woman wanted to know how the situation in the courtyard of the mansion was.

And here Anna was, standing behind the bedroom window. The woman had been silent for about five minutes and did not move an inch from her position.

The light of the full moon squeezed into the room through the lattice windows but was blocked by the curtains.

The same thing she encountered again, several men were guarding down there, while several others seemed to be on patrol.

Every time Anna stood there, the woman was always thinking about how she could escape from this mansion, while day and night security seemed very strict. Not to mention she didn't know how things were at the gate and its surroundings.

Not only once or twice did Anna want to give up her intentions, but many times she also convinced herself.

She didn't want to be cooped up in this house, even though all her needs were met, but it felt very uncomfortable. Not to mention that she had to live with the man who had betrayed her.

No one knows how many times a harsh sigh escaped from between her lips.

Drrtt....drrtt....drttt

The sound of the phone vibrating interrupted Anna's focus. The woman reflexively turned and walked towards the bed. She grabbed her cell phone which she placed beside the bed.

Had not seen who did it, Anna already knew that it was Brian who contacted her.

Who else? Only the man's contacts were on her cell phone.

With a heavy heart, Anna answered.

"Hello..." Brian's voice came first from the other end.

"Hello... why did you call me?" Anna replied directly, without further ado.

"Tsk, is this how a wife talks to her husband, honey?" Brian asked from the other end after chuckling.

"Tell me, there's no need for small talk," replied Anna in a voice that sounded very firm.

"Shouldn't I call my wife?"

Anna snorted at the man's question.

"Are you mad that I didn't give you a great first night, honey?"

Anna didn't respond and just kept quiet.

"Where are you now?" Brian asked again when he is not hearing any response from Anna.

"At home."

"You have eaten?"

"Erm "

"Where's your son?"

"In his room."

Once again Brian laughed at his wife's short answer.

"Can't you be gentle with me? You're already my wife, honey. You should be a little nicer to your husband."

"Did I ask you to marry me?" sarcastically Anna.

"Isn't that what you were hoping for?"

"How many times have I told you? Everything has changed. We don't live in those days anymore, Brian," Anna retorted irritably.

"But I still love you very much."

Anna snorted and didn't answer.

"If you just want to say this, I'd better close it," said Anna.

"Wait."

"Did Elena and Carlos serve you well?" Brian asked again.

Hearing Brian's question, suddenly an idea appeared in Anna's mind.

She cleared her throat and tried to normalize her voice.

"Yeah, they even always follow me everywhere."

"Good."

"Brian..."

"Why honey? Do you need something?"

"I'm bored," Anna said, her voice completely different from before.

"Why?"

"All the rules that Elena gave me bored me. I just do the same thing every day over and over again, as if I'm not free to do anything," Anna said in one breath.

"And then?"
