chapter 37
“If you love Andrius you will let him go. If you love your family, stay away. Because I will ruin everything in your life.”
It was like a broken plaque that Anya repeatedly heard Arruba’s words before she left. She was confused. She didn’t know what to do. She knew in herself that she was brave but it was different from everything she had fought for. This one was different. Even before the fight started, she lost. And the truth pained her more.
Money and influence. Things that she couldn’t argue with Arruba.
“Monterio de Germania is falling. Andrius’business in Germany is falling. My father is doing everything to ruin Andrius. If you had conscience decide now or Andrius will lose everything.”
Anya sank on the restaurant table. She pulled herself together as much as she could think. She exactly knew what Arruba wanted. The woman wanted her out. She was too desperate for her to lose her path and that of Andrius. She was very smart because she even dared to use her Pappi as a bait.
“Wicked player! Shit!”Anya whispered while still bending over the table. Arruba did not give her a choice. She wanted to turn her around.
“Ah, ma’am, what is your order?”
Anya looked up when the waiter asked her. The man even stared at her and seemed confused by what she was doing. He even scratched the back of his head, making weird gestures.
“Sorry.”Anya stood up and walked out.
Anya arrived at their house and immediately caught her father drinking Heineken. He was in the living room and looking depressed.
“Pappi, that’s enough! It’s bad when you get drunk,”Anya grabbed Pappi’s attention She approached him to kiss on his cheek. She winced at the realization that he had been drinking for some time. He smelled too much alcohol.
“It’s just now. Sometimes I also have to get drunk to forget, Anya. Think about it, during my time working for the company, I was even fired.”Her Pappi’s voice was full of grief. His eyes were also dim when he looked at her. Anya knew immediately that he came from crying.
She tapped the back of Pappi and pushed him to sit. In Anya’s mind she was already cursing Arruba. The woman was really cunning. And she was furious with what she had done to her family.
Pappi was still staring at what he was drinking when someone rang the doorbell at their gate. Anya left her father for a moment to see who was outside. Based in the uniform, Anya already knew what it was for. It was the bank messenger.
“Notice for your house and your land,”the man said as he handed the envelope to Anya.
Anya’s hand trembled as she accepted the envelope from him. He also said goodbye immediately after being given his purpose.
Anya entered their house. He also handed the envelope to his Pappi and left him in the living room. As Anya climbed the stairs, she even heard him screaming. Anya clenched her fist and cursed Arruba over and over.
Within a week, the bank had elitized their house. It was pawned when her Pappi got sick. They needed surgery and their only solution was their house.
Anya sighed. She also touched her abdomen because it suddenly hurt without her knowing. She immediately sat down on her bed because of that. Soon, she received a message on her Messenger account. When she opened it, her world was shocked. Her whole muscle trembled at the same time as her stomach ache badly. Even so, she tried to answer anyone who called her on the phone.
“Ops! I just can’t help it, Anya. Just wanted to show you how good you are in bed. Well, well, well! A sex scandal from a secretary and a CEO isn’t new. So, I’m thinking of posting it on social media. It would be awesome. Don’t you think?”Arruba said. She was laughing on the other line while Anya was holding her phone tightly.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Where did you get that? Fight fair! You bastard!”Anya replied angrily to the woman.
Arruba just laughed out loud at what Anya said and ignored it. Moments later, the woman feel silent in the other line and formally spoke after.”Yes! I am a bitch. So be aware of, Anya. Because I just started,”Arruba said last before turning off the call.
Anya did not even realize that she was in tears. Her chest tightened with everything that was happening to her. At the same time her stomach was aching constantly.
She looked up to wipe away the tears that were streaming in her eyes. She also rubbed her forehead because her head hurt again. She was devastated, and it was all about Arruba, her family and Andrius.
