Chapter 22 ~ Chained ~

* Anna’s Pov *

Even if he looks gracious, I hate him directly. Who the hell is he to act like this?

Blaze came forward and suddenly hugged me by the waist and glared at that man, whoever he is, and then he spoke finally, “if you don’t shut your mouth, then leave I don’t need you here,” Blaze said in a contemptuous tone which he never used with me.

I am glad that he at least has some sense taking my side to scold this rude man, that man stood up and reached us slowly, it startled me seeing that man, when he was sitting he looked like a normal but when that man stood up and walked, I finally know how this man has so many guts, he and blaze has the same size of the body but his facial scarier than Blaze, it scares me,

I gripped Blaze's hand, the way this man was looking as if he was going to strangle me, Blaze covered me with his body, and finally, I exhaled in relief.

“What you are doing, don’t dare to look at her like that. I will take out your eyeball if you ever dare to scare her,” Blaze growled; my breath hitched since when Blaze became so violent, even he beat these boys, that was years ago, and he was immature, but right now he changed, I don’t know it’s for good or not.

“Realex, man, I was teasing her. Hey, cutie pie, come out, it’s not. I'm going to eat you while your man is guarding you,” that man teased, but he was stopped by Blaze once again.

“Did I gave you the permission to call her in this way” this one the most dangerous growl I ever heard from Blaze; I flinched and stepped back a little, but not for long; he dragged me back and wrapped my hands overhand over his waist, my face attached on his board back. My entire body plastered with his, a shiver went down in my body; I felt so weak that I clung to his body to get support to keep standing.

“Man, are you not behaving over possessively right now? Also, I don't like wild cats like her; I like the innocent type; your wild cat failed to catch my attention, so don’t behave like this; we can be brother and sister” That man again speaks nonsense.

I rolled my eyes as if I wanted to roll him under my feet; Blaze also got angry hearing his mocking resonance.

“Do you think I can’t pull your tongue out if you talk about her like this? This was full of warning even I felt frightened; I always act like a superwoman in front of him, yet after meeting him this time, I saw every side of him I never knew existed.

“Okay, okay, oh god, this man, I will call her sister-in-law, now calm down, you beast you better now let side of your ruin this wedding” that man murmured something, but this time it was in a low voice that I failed to hear what he was saying, but I felt Blaze’s body relaxed a lot.

He turned to me and looked at my eyes; I still left some fear inside my eyes; even though I failed to see Blaze’s earlier expression, I felt every change in his body.

“Are you scared? He suddenly asked me, something amiss in his body. Is he hurt because he saw the fear inside my eyes? Or angry because I argued with him.

I shook my head. “No,” this word left my mouth, but I know I'm, not because I fear him, but I fear it might change him beyond my reach. What if I never find the man I ever loved? What if he changed? I know I hate him, but does this thought hurt my heart?

When I was fighting with my brain and heart, I felt something warm on my forehead; I looked up and came face to face with him. He kissed my forehead,

My heart was beating like a drum; gripping both my hands, I told myself not to hug him, but my heart and my brain once again in chaos,

My old habit or love. I do not see any errors in them. I felt so prejudiced. Why is he doing this? How can he? But at that moment, I was feeling happier than angry.

“You don’t need to fear anything about me; I will kill myself before ever thinking of hurting you, Love,” Blaze gently whispered in my ear.

“Boom, Boom” I was feeling my heart going to blow up from this warmth.

“Hey, lovebirds, please stop already; we have too much work here; if you allow us, this man can do his work and leave before you two’s love gives him a heart attack,”

The rude man said playfully, he is so strange, a little ago was like a wild beast now suddenly became a player, I better stay far away from him.

I peaked at the man behind us, who was silently sitting there and watching us like he was having fun seeing us like this.

“Love, meet him, Jackie, my lawyer, also my best friend,” Blaze introduced that man; I nodded.

“Hello, sister-in-law,” he sounds very unlike this rude man.

The rude man suddenly jumped in front of me and grabbed Blaze tightly once again “hey, don’t behave like you’re scared, also forgive me for my earlier jokes; I'm Mac, this man is my brother, and your man is my best friend.”

He finally introduced himself, and I sighed so dramatically.

“What are we doing here? I asked, making my voice volume low; only Blaze can hear me.

“Get our marriage certificate,” Blaze whispered in my ear, as insignificant as I conveyed to him.

And my mind was like falling into a deep slumber.

* Blaze’s Pov *

I felt someone burnt my whole heart when Mac talked about Anna like this, even though he is my friend, no man, no woman should look at her with such a first look, I can not bear this, my inner monster who loves and is totally in control of her love goes out of authority.

I want to kill every one of them who dares to look at her. My brain does not work when someone looks at her or tries to eye her. I wouldn't say I like it to the core. I want to cage her inside my heart so that my beast will stay chained.

When she backed away from me, I felt I lost my soul, so I dragged her back and warped her around my body. It was giving me a sense of security.

When she asked me why we are here, I finally remembered why we are here; I sighed and whispered, “we are here to get our marriage certificate.”

Her expression turned confused and, for a little while, hung shocked. Is this so shocking? I already informed her we’re getting married today.

Only then does it catch my attention,

“Don’t tell me you thought I was joking with you. I asked a half-angry voice whenever I lied to her; even though I hurt her and despaired without telling her anything, I never lied to her.

Anna looked around, not at me; I caught her face “you better start believing me.” I know her answer, so I skipped that question.

“But how can I marry you? I don’t want to marry you, I don’t know if you arranged any doctor for my Dad yet” she knows when to kill my mood, but I tried to suppress my frustration, she didn’t believe me when I said I would arrange the best doctor for her father.

I already admitted her father to my private hospital and called some world reward doctor for him, but I don't want to tell her yet. This girl of mine is more slippery than Zig-zag eel fish. Once she finds out about this, I won't have anything to stop her from leaving me.

“I will tomorrow, as long as you don’t leave me and marry me today, I will find the doctor tomorrow, and they will start your father's treatment,” I lied.

Her face darkened, I expected her to say something, but she stayed silent. My hand tightened behind her, I know why, but I don't want to let go of this chance because I know she will vanish in the air as long as I let go of the last option that will tie us together.
Soon Jackie completed everything we recruited; I wanted to give her a wedding, but at this moment, it’s not safe for me to take her out, so I chose this way, we can get our marriage certificate.

When Jackie handed me the papers, I signed without delaying a second, yet she carefully checked the documents when I gave her the papers. I know what’s coming next. Shit, I thought she would sign it without looking, but it seems like another big mess has happened.
