Her Burned Soul

Sweet Arguments

Annie p.o.v

Charles, "why didn't you tell me about your car brakes, that was not something you hide from me." I said in angered tone and made a pout.

He frowns, "Oh babe!! I asked Hayden not to tell you, but he didn't keep one thing secret." He twitches his mouth. It agreed me more now i am mad.

"Why didn't you tell me? Keeping things secret from me is a solution to the problem?" I said in a sharp tone, he didn't let me know about the brake's failure.

"Babe, I am sorry!!! I just don't want you to worry, you were so happy at our engagement announcement. So, I don't want you to take any stress or be worried about little things, I thought that was not important than your happiness. You know how much I love you, and the first priority of mine is to make you happy, in that if i lost my life that is not a problem ." He said and smiled a little.

I kept my hand on his mouth, "Charles, don't you ever say that again, I will kill you myself if you ever left me. You know I love you so much, I care about you!!! when Hayden told me about the incident. I felt hurt because i want you to tell me things about yourself, i don't want other people to inform me." I said and hugged him tightly, i snuggled further into him. That was not a small thing Charles, you know that if you didn't get off from the car at the right time, what could have happened?" I said and sniffed, my heart starts aching just to think about it. He not being in my life means, i am also not alive.

"Annie, don't cry baby, I am so sorry!!! For not letting you know. I will never hide anything from you from now, please stop crying. He hugged me tightly, he dried my tears." I feel my tears wiped away he kissed me on the forehead.

"But, I am still mad at you, you have to trust me. You can share anything with me I am a strong woman to handle things by myself." I said in a firm tone. He smiled, oh!!! This man is the death of me. He is charming when he smiles his eyes also smile and it made him more lively.

"Okay, I will babe, I promise." he lightly kissed me on lips. I blushed lightly, "You want to tell something?" He asked I told him all about the incidents, from the morning creepiness to the airport stranger and the phone call Daisy got. I also told him about the car that followed me back here. "Who can it be? I don't think it's a business rival, because Sawyer gives all information about my rivals. No one was involved in the car incident, so they can not do that. No one from that has much courage to target me and your family." Lines of worry were very visible on his forehead his expression serious, he was in deep thought. When suddenly his phone rang, he moved away from me and get his phone from the table. I listened to little murmur, he was talking with someone. He came back, "Babe!!! I am sorry, but it's an important meeting in the office. Mr. Shazam is coming to finalize the contract, i have to go to. I will talk to Sawyer about all this and he will inquire about all this matter. Don't you worry, I am here and will never let you or anyone get a little scratch." He ensured pressed my hands tightly. "yeah, sure Charles. No, problem!!! It's important i can understand. I will get back home and take some rest." I stand up from the sofa and get near him to give him a goodbye kiss. He gripped my waist and deepen the kiss. I moved away,  mmmm; you are getting late. "You wait here, babe. Just let me change, i will drop you home. Not, letting you go alone now. You have to take rest because it's our engagement two days later. I want my bride to look the most beautiful."  He winked, smirked and gets into his bedroom to change, i waited for him in the lounge.

He gets out in his business attire usual smirk on his face. "Come on, let's go." We get out from there.

Charles dropped me home. I get into my room and crash on the bed, i was now feeling relaxed after sharing all my worries with him. I know he will not let anyone harm me or my family. I felt the burden from my heart lighten, i drifted off to sleep. 

I sleep till 8:00 pm, my sweet dreams invaded by a slight bang on the door. I open my eyes, heard a knock on my room door. My eyes still heavy from sleeping my mind doesn't work properly, "Come in, "  Daisy opened the door and came inside. "Annie, mom is asking for you. We all are waiting for you at dinner, you okay? You usually didn't sleep that much?" She asked I yawned and let my fingers run in my bed hairs to smooth them. " yes, Daisy I am fine, I just was a little tired. Due to a lack of sleep from a few days, you know the preparation and all." I said and covered my mouth to stop another yawn to come. She giggled, "I am so happy for you Annie, you are so lucky to have Charles in your life. He is such a gentleman and the love for you shows in his eyes. I am so excited for you to get engaged and married soon." She said and cheered. I giggled to see her that happy. "Annie, I want to ask something from you. If you don't mind." I nodded, she looks serious. 

"Annie, do you have ever involved with any other guy other than Charles, in college or in grade school?" She said seriously, "No Daisy, never i was not involved with anyone else other than Charles. He is the first love of my life. But, why are you asking this?"  I thought for some time but no one came in mind. "Just like that, no big deal. Come on, we are waiting fresh up and come down for dinner." I nodded and get up from bed to freshen up. I moved back into my room and open my curtains to look outside. When I saw a similar nodded man standing near our courtyard. My lips parted my breath hitched, a scarceness covered my body. I instantly closed the curtains and moved away from the window. I fastly came downstairs my face showing my feelings, i felt scared as hell .bi was shivering. My family sitting on the dining table eating and laughing, when Hayden saw my place face. He came towards me "Annie, what happens? " I just moved a finger towards the closed door.
