Chapter 33: Dangerous?

Hello Readers! On the last chapter, Liam and Shirley are getting married and he had just gave up his feelings for Anna, asking his brother to take care of her instead. Wow.. let's continue the story!

3 days later, at night ...

" I think this is nice.." She gave a light tap on the glass, pointing to a set of couple rings. Nothing fancy, just a normal diamond solitaire for the girl and a white platinum band for the guy. The sales girl took out the ring and placed it on a white cushion, before pushing it forward, allowing her to analyze. She took the ring and wore it on the fourth finger on her left hand with a smile as she held her hand high up for her to admire how perfectly the ring fits her.

" What do you think?" She asked Liam who was beside her..

" You decide" He was acting all nonchalantly. He walked away from her, moving over and viewing through other types jewellery. He wasn't interested in them, he just wanted to be away from her. To be honest, he felt rather suffocating with her..

" I'll take it" She returned the solitaire ring to the sales girl with a bright smile..

" Liam! I have chose it!" She was practically smiling for ear to ear.. She has finally chose her engagement ring. Just the thought of her being his wife made her all excited and happy. Liam on the other side, had an emotionless expression. He was just happy he could get out of this shop soon.. Happy to get this over with..

Anna and Ivan

Anna took a basket from the basket holder and walked in the grocery store with hands in his pockets, Ivan followed from behind. Anna walked to the bread aisle, analysing and scanning for Sean's request on wholemeal bread. She took Sean's request, placing it in her basket. With her phone in her hand, she glanced through her grocery list and headed to the dairy aisle taking a dozen of eggs in her basket. She had previously checked through their kitchen and jotted down all the items that they were lacking of. She walked to the shampoo and soap aisle, taking the necessary items needed. She then proceeded to biscuit aisle, knowing that Ivan would be there and she was right. He was carrying seven different chips and cookies..

" Why did you pick so many?!" She asked looking at Ivan who was piled up with the snacks..

" We need this.." He released his arms slightly and all the snacks came falling in her basket..

" Ivan! Are you planning to sell them?" She looked at all the snacks that had overpowered the rest of the groceries that the boys needed in their penthouse.

" We have 5 people living together.." He shrugged and took the basket handle off her hands, carrying it towards the counter.. Anna took the latest magazine that was on the rack and placed it on the counter. That was her motive of coming to the store! When she told the boys that she was heading here, they were more than happy to ask her for help. Ivan took out his wallet and paid for all the items. Walking out together with the groceries in hand. It took them less than ten minutes to walk back to his penthouse.

" We are back!" Ivan dramatically made his entrance and this drama king was blocking the doorway, she took the bags from Ivan's hand as she chuckled and push her way past him, placing the stuff in their respective places.. It would take long for this guy to settle them down instead..

Anna took out her magazine from one of the bags and plotted herself at the sofa in the living room, beside Alex who was currently browsing through the channels in the TV. Ivan peeped at what she was reading and she turned her attention to Ivan who leaning a little too close till the point that he was invading her reading space. It was a particular page when Ivan suddenly raised his voice.
