Chapter 31

As Fernandez pounced on her, his hands grasping for her arms like a predator, Anna's phone rang, shattering the tension. She quickly thanked her stars, thinking that if Fernandez had started, he would have broken her leg tonight.

The phone's screen flashed an unknown number, making Anna hesitate. Everything always seemed to go wrong when strange numbers called her. She bit her lip, wondering who could be calling her now.

"Anna, Sweetheart, it's me!" a deep, husky voice said on the other end, sending shivers down her spine.

Anna was speechless, her eyes darting towards Fernandez, who was glaring at her and the phone in her hand like a possessive beast. She sighed, wondering who this man was, calling her sweetheart. Fernandez must be thinking something strange again.

"Who is this?" Fernandez growled, his hand reaching for the phone like a snake striking its prey.

Anna shook her head, trying to signal that she didn't know. "I don't know, Fernandez. I've never seen this number before."

Fernandez snatched the phone from her hand, his eyes blazing with fury. "Who is this?" he repeated, his voice low and menacing.

The voice on the other end replied, "It hasn't been so long, Anna, and you've forgotten me? It's Jason, your love, Anna."

Fernandez's eyes widened in shock, his grip on the phone tightening like a vice. "Jason?" he spat, his voice venomous. "You're seeking death, aren't you? How dare you call my wife sweetheart!"

Anna's eyes widened, her mind racing. Jason? Her love? What was going on? She hadn't heard from Jason in years, not since he betrayed her with Laila.

Fernandez's face twisted in anger, his eyes flashing with possessiveness. "You're mine, Anna. No one else's. I won't let anyone take you away from me."

The voice on the phone laughed, a deep, husky sound that sent shivers down Anna's spine. "We'll see about that, Antonio Fernandez. Anna, my love, I'm coming for you. And no one can stop me."

The line went dead, leaving Fernandez fuming and Anna stunned.

Fernandez clenched the phone and threw it at the wall angrily, the device shattering into pieces. Anna stared at her phone, her eyes wide with anger. "My phone! You destroyed my phone! What has it done to you?"

Anna sensed that it was her turn now, and she quickly raised her hands, as if confessing a crime. "I really don't know it's him, and I supposed you knew this since you knew everything about me. After I caught him sleeping with my best friend, we broke up. I don't get why he's now calling me his sweetheart and threatening to come for me. As far as his case is concerned, I don't have anything to do with him ever again. I'd rather stay with you than go back to that dog."

Fernandez's heart believed her words, but his mind chose the opposite. His subconscious argued that Jason was Anna's first love, and if he begged her, she would surely go back to him. Fernandez thought he hated women and didn't even love Anna, so why was he feeling insecure? He convinced himself that he hated Anna and her guts, and he wanted her to be his possession, his alone.

Fernandez gazed at Anna with lecherous eyes, his light green eyes slightly darkening. Anna shuddered, moving closer to the bedpost, but he followed her slowly, caging her in his arms with no escape. Anna knew what was coming for her.

He roamed his lips from the nape of her neck to her earlobe, and Anna shivered. She didn't like it when Fernandez did this to her, but at the same time, she badly wanted to welcome it, driven crazy by her conflicting emotions.

Fernandez bit her earlobe and whispered in her ear in a husky voice, "You seem to be attracting all to yourself, but the way I'm going to claim you tonight will always remind you that you are mine and mine only."

Anna trembled, her heart racing with anticipation and fear. She knew she was trapped, and Fernandez would stop at nothing to possess her completely.

Fernandez's eyes blazed with desire as he gazed at Anna's lips, his voice husky with passion. "Ah, Anna, your lips are like ripe strawberries, begging to be devoured."

He crashed his lips onto hers, his tongue tracing the outline of her mouth. Anna's senses returned, and she felt her body respond to his touch.

"Fernandez, stop," she whispered, her voice weak, but her body betraying her.

"I can't stop, Anna," he replied, his lips tracing her skin. "I need you, all of you. Your skin is like silk, your touch like fire."

Their clothes were soon discarded, and they engaged in a sensual intimacy. Their moans and groans filled the room, and Anna whispered sensually with a slightly breathless voice.

"Fernandez...oh, Fernandez...this feels so good. You're so deep inside me."

He replied with a husky "hmmm," his lips tracing her skin, sending shivers down her spine. "You're mine, Anna. Forever mine. I'll never let you go."

As they broke apart for air, Fernandez gazed at Anna, his eyes burning with intensity. "I'll possess you, body and soul. You'll never escape me."

Anna's heart skipped a beat, unsure of what to say. But her body responded, craving more of his touch, his possession. And as the night wore on, they lost themselves in each other's arms, their love-hate relationship reaching new heights.

"I hate you, Fernandez," Anna whispered, her voice barely audible.

"I know, Anna," he replied, his lips tracing her skin. "But you love me too. You can't resist me, just like I can't resist you. We're bound together, forever entwined."
