*?WE FINALLY MET?*
Episode 11
****Anna’s POV****
I got to the gate and it was opened after the security confirmed who I am and I drove down towards the garage. I packed and got down closing the door.
I rushed towards the building hoping my dad would be ok. I might resent him, I might hate him for neglecting me but I don’t want any bad to happen to him because he’s the only family I have left in this world.
Soon, I was in his room. He was lying on the bed while his PA, Mr Raymond was sitting beside him. I walked on slowly looking at him. “You’re welcome miss anna”Mr Raymond greeted when he saw me. Immediately he called my name, dad looked at my direction and was trying to get up when he saw me. I quickly went to him and supported him. “You really came?”he asked looking at me. The look on his face were sad. I wonder how much he missed me. “Yes. I have to check on you”I said not looking at him.
“I’ll take my leave now. Goodnight sir”Mr Raymond said and bowed before going out. Dad managed to get up and sat on the bed and I was sitting on the couch beside his bed. “I’m really sorry about everything. I missed you a lot. Please come back home”he said. “I’m not happy when I heard you’re sick. You know I don’t like to see you sick am always scared. How are you feeling? Are you ok?”I asked looking at him.
“It’s not severe. Just the heart pain again. My doctor just left a while ago. I’ll be fine soon don’t worry about that.”he said. “Will you come back home?”he asked. “I can’t.”I replied. “Why Annabel? Everything is fine now. I already talked to your mother and Regina. I promise they won’t give you ha-rd time anymore. They’ve changed. It’s ok. You can come home now”he said feeling sad.
“No dad. Don’t worry about me living all by myself. I’m not a kid anymore. I’ll be 23 soon, I’m all grown to do that. I can’t continue living with you forever. Ok I’ve forgiven everyone for what had happened in the past but I can’t live here anymore.”I said

He took a de-ep breath then nodded his head. “Fine if that’s what you want but promise you would start picking my calls and visit often. If you can do that at least, I’ll be ok”he said. I thought about it for a while before giving him reply. “Ok dad.”I said looking at him. “Thank you. I’m sorry for everything”he said and I smiled. “It ok. I’m good”I said. We talked about some other things before I finally decided leave.
“It’s late. You can’t leave tonight. Why not wait till morning before leaving?”dad said looking concern.
“Ok. I’ll do that”I said smiling.
“I’m going to sleep in my room then. Goodnight”I said and stood up. I gave him a big hu-g before leaving for the door.
When I got outside, I met Regina on my way. She folded her arms staring at me badly. I stopped, staring back at her. “Any problem?”I asked. “Did you come back?”she asked twisting the tip of her hair. “And if I do?”I asked her. She laughed mockingly then eyed me badly. “That’s good because I’ve missed you sis”she said faking a smile. “Oh really?”I asked. “Yeah. Because another slave is here again. That’s a bonus for me I think”she said laughing. I clenched my teeth ti-ghtening my fist.
She moved closer to me folding her arms. “You’re welcome the loyal dog”she said and laughed.
That’s how she and her mother treat me when I still live with them. They use me like a slave and the worst part of it is they don’t even call me by my name. That’s the name they call me “loyal Dog” but they act normal when dad is around. I dare not tell him because my step mother is a very wicked woman. She’ll beat hell out of me later if I do.
The day I finally gained freedom from them was the happiest day of my life. Although I’ve been asking and begging my dad to let me live separately but he always go against it telling me he can’t live far from me until a night that I threatening to stab myself with a knife if he doesn’t approve to it. He was scared and finally let me go. That was 2years ago after my graduation from college. Regina and I attend same school right from highschool. Life was like hell for me in school because she’s always picking on me with some other mean girls.
Now I think those days are gone. I’ve suffered for good 8years living with them. I have fought for my freedom now, it’s time to fight for my right too.
Regina looks at me and had the disgusting evil smile on as usual. “Oh. Have you forgotten the name given to you already?”she asked and wanted to touch my face. I held her hand and dropped it down. Giving her a killer look with an evil smile. “Be careful. I do bite now”I said smiling. She was shocked but was at the same time angry.
“You guys don’t know. When you treat a weak dog badly too much, at first, it might be scared and run away from you anytime you’re around but a day is coming when it’ll turn back at you and fight back by bi-ting you angrily for the bad treatments. You’ll then end up been in pain an regret treating it badly all this while because you don’t expect such dog might be dangerous too.”I said staring at her. She was quiet not saying anything but staring at me in surprise.
I walked closer and moved my mouth to her ear. “So, be careful”I said and walked pas-s her.
I got to my room and closed the door taking a de-ep breath. “Oh my God! Did I say all that?”I said feeling my heart. That was ha-rd tho but I think I did a great job. I smiled to myself in satisfaction and laid on the bed.
A message came into my phone and I quickly checked it. “Anna is dad ok?”Rachael asked. “Yeah he’s fine. I won’t come home tonight ok”I messaged her.
“Ok. Take care of him and be careful on your way back”she said. Another message came in from Dave and I checked.
Dave: Hy Anna. Where are you? I remembered something.
I quickly jumped up from bed and dialed his number feeling impatient to hear about it.
Loyal dogs do bite.
What do u think he remembered??

Episode 11/ 12
****Anna’s POV****
He didn’t pick up my calls. Could he be sleeping already?
I thought to myself and dialed again. he wasn’t picking, I decided to leave early the following morning and went to sleep.
I woke up by 7am, dressed up and was preparing to leave. I took my bag and went to say good bye to dad. I told him I’ll visit often just as I promised. I left his room after our discussion and was going out. When I got downstairs, I saw Mrs Lisa sitting on the couch with cu-p of whine before her. The maid was cut her nails for her.
“You’re leaving already?”she asked and I looked at her direction. What does it have to do with her if I’m leaving? Not like she really want me to start living with them again. “Yeah”I said and continued walking to the entrance.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come? Looks like you’re disobeying your mother again”she said and I turned to her. “Mother? Oh that’s true I forgot I have another mother”I said. The expression on her face was unreadable as she was staring at me. She signalled the maid to stop and she left after bowing to her. She then sat properly looking at me. I was staring at her with so many bad thoughts running throu-ghmy mind. Should I just snap her ne-ck and kill her. Or I should just hit her head with the wine bottle? I wish she got choke with the wine and die instead, I can’t kill her with my hands.”I thought to myself.
“Really?”she said and smiled. “I think you’ve become br@ve while you were out but I don’t think it would be of any use. If you continue this way, you might end up dead like your mother. Just be loyal as you use to and don’t trying acting strong before me”she said. I got so angry and hurt by her words. “I’m… not afraid anymore. From now on, I won’t let you intimidate me any longer. Enough of your evil acts”I said staring at her but she was quite not answering. “From now on, I won’t give space for you and your daughter to harm me any longer. those days are of the past. it can’t happen again..
I’ll promise you one thing today”I said and stopped. The reaction on her face were like that of a lion ready to bounce on it’s prey. “You and your daughter will soon live to regret all your evil acts.”I said. “What?”she asked in anger. I smiled nodding my head before leaving. I smiled to myself feeling so satisfy. I never saw her feel that way ever since I know her. I think I really hit her ha-rd on the bad sp-ot today. I thought to myself.
Soon, I got home. I narrated everything that happened to Rachael. She felt so happy about what I did and credited me for my boldness. Soon she left and I was alone at home. I remembered what Dave told me last night and I quickly got up to go to his apartment.
:
I pressed the bell several times but no response. After some minutes of waiting, I unlocked the door and got in. “Dave!”I called his name but no respond. Could he still be sleeping?”I asked myself looking around. I checked the time and it’s 10am. He can’t possibly still be in bed. He didn’t pick my calls last night too. Could he be sick? I thought to myself. I dialed his number but his phone was ringing on the center table beside me. I took it wondering why it’s there. “Dave! Dave are you ok?”I asked walking to the door of his room. I was imaging a lot of things in my head thinking he might be sick. I got to the entrance and heard the door sound. “Anna?”I heard a voice and the door opened. I was shocked to see him. He was standing holding the door.
I looked at him from head to toe with my jaw dropped.
He was in the bathroom all this while. A white towel was wrapped around his wai-st while water drip down his amazing abs. He looks so hot that I couldn’t keep my eyes off him. Guys have six packs but I think Dave’s own is twelve. I heard him say something but I was lost in my own fantasy as I stares at him. I looked at his face after checking him out for long. “Uh? Did you just say something?”I asked looking at him. He was quiet not saying anything but staring at me. I couldn’t hold on to staring at him. I think I might pas-s out soon because my heart was about to jump out of my che-st.
I blinked my eyes and turned my back to him. “I…i’m so..rry. I didn’t know you were taking your bath. I’ll come back later then”I said and was leaving.
“You haven’t answer my question”he said and I froze. Did he ask me anything? When was that? What is it?” I knew he said something but I didn’t hear.
I was thinking so ha-rd to recall but I could not. This is so embarras-sing…
Hmmm Anna is something else.
