Her figure started trembling in fear as she was feeling her legs were getting weak. She tried to loosen his grip on her wrist but it was like if he was made of pure iron.
"Y-you can't touch me like this. This is w-wrong. Leave me- Ahh"
But he alrea...

ANNA'S POV~
I walked down through the hall and where I got welcomed by a beaming Eve. She smiled and hugged me. It felt like a sister to me and I hugged her back. She is the same as me. And that what makes me adjust to her so easily as compared to Ivan.
"Welcome... welcome, my dear sister-in-law, I hope your night went well," She giggled. I can feel the tease in her tone. I smiled looking away.
"So, today is your first day... Let's prepare something together," she said.
"Umm... well, where is the kitchen?" I asked.
"This way, sweetheart," She said and I followed her beaming figure. She is a girl with great charms. Anyone can fall for her innocence. She's great, alluring and so talkative.
We entered the kitchen and the spicy smell filled my nostrils. It was mouth-watering as my stomach growled since I didn't even eat anything since yesterday.
I helped the maid 'Eleanor' and she smiled. She was a woman in her mid-40s and also the head-maid here as per as Eve told me. She has a daughter who's been studying.
"Let me take care of this..." I said picking the dishes from the counter.
"No.. No... It's fine..." She said "It's okay Eleanor," I said to her and she sighed in defeat and nodded splashing a sparkling beam on her face.
We placed the breakfast on the dining table waiting for him to come. He passed by Anna and she felt her body was getting stiffened just by his closeness.
She closed her eyes taking a deep breath. She wasn't a coward. But Ivan's presence makes her feel weak. Maybe, every time he was close to her she becomes unable to gather her strength.
"Sit," She heard him. Eve who was sitting on the next chair gestured for Anna to come and sit there. Anna nodded and forced a smile on her lips forwarding her a predaterous steps towards them. She sat beside Eve and Eve gave her a 'relax' smile.
"Brother, I was saying that we did a simple ceremony for your wedding. Why don't you throw a function to announce your marriage," Eve said receiving the same cold-look of Ivan but it didn't stop her as she was used to it.
"It was just my suggestion...." Eve murmured and get back to eat her breakfast sheepishly. She gestured to Anna for eating too as she wasn't eating.
"I will think about it," Ivan said and got up after wiping the corner of his mouth and left without saying anything.
Eve sighed exhaling her breath and get back to eat.
"Why didn't you said anything, You're supposed to speak too," Eve said and Anna sighed.
