The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel)

MISTAKE 19



hapter 19: Her temper

Anya had no choice but to go up and pack up. She packed a suitcase with all her essentials, even the clothes Lena had bought. She did not trust her, but she thought it would be odd if she did not take it. When she was done, she joined Daniel at the back, where a helicopter was waiting. When Anya saw those spinning blades, she was scared and lowered her head. She saw the maids bring over their luggage and spotted a luggage that was loaded with hers. Was it Daniels? She wondered this as she climbed onto the helicopter.

It was her first time flying on one and she was very scared. They arrived at the cruise at night. Anya watched from above as their helicopter landed on the helipad of the cruise ship.

She was in awe of this display of money as she was shown to her cabin. She was too tired, so she just went to sleep.

Anya opened her eyes the next morning to a familiar ceiling crown. Her eyes groggy with confusion, before realizing where she was. Her eyes steeled as she realized there was no going back and they flashed coldly.

‘Madam, you have been called for breakfast,” she heard a maid inform her. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I will be out in a bit,” Anya answered and hurried into the bathroom to take a quick bath. She came out some minutes later and quickly dressed, then brushed her wild red hair. She attempted to put it away in a bun she had always done, then stopped. What was the use? When she used to join their activities in the past, she had been told that Daniel. preferred women to be neat and regal. Anya suddenly recalled Selene’s slick back red hair.

She who had wild waving red hair, in an attempt to please him, had always put it up in a bun, or styled it sleek. She knew it was no use. She no longer cared for what he wanted.

Anya dressed in a short flowing white dress and stepped out. She made her way down familiar steps to the dining room. This entire ship was owned by the Shaw family. According to Daniel they would be on vacation for three days and there would be a party to be held tonight.

As Anya made her way to the dining room, what transpired last time she met them closed her mind. She had always kept her head down because of her identity, but even the one member of the Shaw family she thought liked her had betrayed her. She could not see this family in a good light.

When she walked in and took her seat to eat without bothering to greet anyone there, she raised brows. In the dinning sat her husband, his two brothers and his wife, their younger sister and their parents. They knew her to be quite the shy girl who cared for their opinion. She recalled how it always was when she met them

Her sister–in–laws would throw digs at her while everyone sat there, saying nothing. She was tired of it all. She had always known she was not one of them, but she had ensured for Daniel. They lived in a universe too different from her own and she was no more interested in being

one of them. She looked down and ate her food without a word, her wild hair blocking her face, they could not see her clearly.

“Anya did not put up her hair today, it’s getting everywhere,” Amanda said. She was Daniel’s brother’s wife.

“Why? Is it getting in your food?” Anya looked up sharply at the one who had spoken and asked. Her question made Natalia freeze. She never thought Anya would respond. She had always kept quiet whatever they said.

“No, I was just…” Amanda started to say.

“Then, how do my hair get in your way?” Anya asked and the room seemed to pause. It was the first time they had ever heard her reply to anything.

“That’s enough, she was at most curious. If you are going to eat, do it quietly,” Daniel interjected. She found it funny. If one did not look clearly, they would have thought that Amanda was his wife.

“Are you blind?” Anya asked and Daniel paused in shock.

“What did you say?” he asked.

“It seems you are deaf too,” Anya answered and she heard Wendy suck in a breath.

“You are calling me deaf?” Daniel asked.

“Could you not see me sitting here eating without care? Or you could not hear her look for something to say. But the moment I open my mouth, you tell me to be quiet? If someone had just walked in, they would have thought you were defending your wife from me,” Anya said and Wendy sucked in another breath. With the way she was sucking in a breath each time, Anya would have thought Wendy was having breathing problems.

“Do not create misunderstandings,” Daniel scolded her.

“Then if you have nothing to say, eat your food quietly. Why are you interfering when women are talking? Her husband has not even spoken, but you have jumped to speak. Are you a frog? If you are feeling restless, join a circus,” Anya said.

Anya

nya had always wanted to say these words. She had never understood why he was so quick to jump to other people’s defense instead of her own. Even though he did not like her, he should at least like his own reputation.

After scolding him, Anya went back to eating. She could have said more, but felt there was no need. She was already tired of this marriage anyway.

Daniel was petrified. He could not believe she had scolded him. He had seen her angry before, but only at her grandmother. She was fine yesterday. What happened? But he just realized that her green eyes lit up when she was angry.

Anya glanced at her mother–in–law, Wendy, with the side of her eye. Wendy was lukewarm to

Her temper

all of her daughter–in–laws, this is what comforted her a lot when she was most times ignored by the older woman. But she knew Wendy did not like her at all. But seeing Wendy’s reaction, she started to wonder, is it that Wendy did not like her son’s wives, or she did not care too much about them? It almost seemed as though she enjoyed watching the drama, or was it her imagination?

Anya finished eating and left the dining room. She still had much to do. She was so deep in thought that she did not realize that Daniel was walking after her. She had only just entered her room when he stepped in after her.

“What is wrong with you?” he asked and she came back from her thoughts and glanced at him.

“What do you want?” she asked dismissively.

“What did you mean by what you did in the dining room? Do not forget your place just because I let you into our family,” he warned. His words hurt her more than she anticipated. She was in love with

this man, but he hated her with everything in his being. She knew why this was, but could not stomach it.

“What did you mean? Answer me!” Daniel called her from her daze.

“I am wondering why I married you,” she muttered.

How could she have ignored this much hatred? It was clear in his actions that he did not want anything to do with her. Anya wondered why she assumed she could melt his heart. Was she stupid?

She loved this man. His dark brown hair, strong jawline and deep set blue eyes had always had a way of making her squirm. But he has never once looked at her gently with those eyes and she knew he never would. Those eyes only had affection for Selene.
