Scandal 46 – In which the princess decides to go home
Anya stared at the window while nursing the cup of coffee in her hand, she was waiting for Anton to meet her here for brunch. They needed to talk and sure, a public place wasn’t the right place for it but she hadn’t got the time to talk to him privately anymore.
She was going to be busy after brunch. She had a lot to take care of.
“Come home.” Anya felt a sudden jolt of happiness the moment Roderick uttered those words, he wanted her home. She couldn't help herself. Her smile slid off the moment he continued, “Your son misses you.”
“I miss him too.” She said feeling a little hurt, Roderick hadn’t wanted her to come home because he wanted her to, Alexi was the one who missed her.
“Then come home. That is if you still want to but know this Anya, if you leave us you’re never going to see Alexi. You will never set foot in Denmark again and you will never know your son.”
A tear fell from her eyes, she wiped it and smiled sadly as she clutched the phone tightly, it hurt that Roderick had to threatened her with their son, to give her the ultimatum they both knew she wouldn’t be able to refuse.
It also hurt because that was when Anya finally realized something and it took Roderick threatening her to see the picture and she didn’t like it. Not one bit.
“You don’t need to use our son Roderick, I will come home.”
She was leaving in two days, she just needed to break the news to Anton. She didn’t want to hurt him but she didn’t have a choice.
She saw Anton entering the restaurant and she took a deep breath. This was it. Anton gave her a full smile while walking toward the table. When he was at the table, he leaned over to kiss her but she turned away, “Not here for God sake’s Anton.” She hissed and nervously looked around the restaurant.
She sighed when her guards weren’t actually looking and even Mila didn't see it. Nor did the restaurant staff.
Anton frowned then sat at the seat across from her. Anya noticed how he tried to mask the hurt but she was his first love for a reason. She knew him too well. She had hurt him once again, she wondered then, when will she ever end hurting this man?
“I’m leaving in two days.” She announced.
The waiter arrived and set another cup of coffee in front of Anton and then left, “Aalis din ako papunta sa Louisiana, babalik din ako agad. Ikaw kailan ang balik mo?” Anton asked her.
“Hindi na ako babalik Anton. Babalik na ako sa Denmark.” She admitted.
Anton stilled, he grabbed her hand and squeezed it tight, “Anya, anong problema? Diba sabi mo ayos tayo?”
