A Strange Feeling

Chapter 22: Rage (Ana's POV)

When Cassian came back alone and explained to me and his parents how excellent stuntman was his brother, and how he performed the whole driving right before the train scene, I would've exploded. The anger I felt towards Erik in that moment was greater than anything else. He risked his fucking life because his stupid uncle talked shit about me on the Internet. Like we didn't have enough evidence to shut that man.

"I didn't know I was marrying such a drama queen" I sighed looking at Cassian.

"He thinks he betrayed you" the king turned to me.

"Yes he did betray me, when he left!" I turned my back on them and went upstairs to my room. I laid on the bed and called Erik but he didn't pick up "Fuck you"

My phone screen woke up and I got an Instagram notification. I unlocked my phone and saw that I received a message request from Andreis. I opened the message and it said "Ana, please give me your phone number, I need to tell you something. My father did a bad thing, please let me explain and apologize"

I rolled my eyes and typed "Fuck off."

He saw the response immediately, and typed "Please it's very important." I rolled my eyes again and groaned loudly but I called him via Instagram. He picked up straight away "Ana, listen. I don't have much time to speak" he paused.

"Why is he whispering?"

"I don't agree with my father, I never did. Please, I want to make things right. I want to give my statement, but I need the name of that person that my father sent to kill you"

"Why? Why are you on our side?" I asked.

"I was always on your side, I just couldn't express myself because my father threatened me."

I took a deep breath "His name is Sebastian, but I don't know about his last name. With what did you father threaten you?"

"I will talk about everything on the national channel tonight. Again, I'm so sorry for the problems my family has caused" he sighed.

"Whatever" I said and ended the call.

I didn't want to believe in Andreis's words, but somehow, I knew he was being honest. However, the public was none of my concerns, I just wanted to find Erik and punch him.

I called Cassian on the phone because I was lazy to go downstairs "How many houses do you own in the area?" I asked

"Three, one is the lake house, there is another one in the center that's more of a apartment building though, and the third one is the forest one. Why?"

"Erik must be hidden in one of those, do you want to help me find him?"

"Of course!"

We gathered downstairs and Cassian said he would check the lake house, his parents choose to go at the center and I was left with the forest house. They gave me the keys of the house and keys of one of their cars.

"Do you need a driver?" the king asked me.

"I know how to drive sir, don't worry."

We all departed at the same time. An hour into the ride I got a message from Cassian that there was no one at the lake house, nor there were signs that someone was there before. Fifteen minutes later, his father texted me that the apartment building was empty.

"The forest house is then"

I pressed on the gas and forty minutes later I parked next to Erik's car. I stepped out of the car and went to the porch, "Erik, I know you are in there!" I said going closer to the door.
