"Stop throwing a fist already Nari and get in the car." Mack clicked his tongue in annoyance. He was also angry at the outcome of tonight but what hurt him the most was seeing Anna again.
He isn't angry she's with Noah, but he's hurt she's happier with another man. She stared at him emotionlessly, like she isn't the same girl that had chased after him for years.
Anna is now married to the biggest dog in the country and the man looked bewitched by her and he's here. Broke anf hopeless. He has been reduced to a filthy rang and I der the mercy of Noah Declan.
He knew the man would be impossible, but he never thought Noah would be very impossible.
He wouldn't bother apologizing again if he hadn't collected debt today just to impress the public they were doing fine after the humiliation of going bankrupt and the government taking all they have.
Now he's on a milliona dollar loan for nothing. Mack felt like going crazy.

"Anna.' General Sui stepped out of his study the moment he heard his granddaughter's voice. He smiled when he saw her and just like his spoilt little she rushed to hug him.
"Grandpa." She held his tighter, but of course not too tight because of his age. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too my darling."
"You." General Sui said when he saw Noah standing behind his granddaughter. He frowned. Seeing Vincent's seed married to his grand daughter irked him. If not for the threat and help Noah made to them, he wouldn't let him or any member of his family get close to them ever again.
"When will you do the right thing? I hope you don't plan on playing with my grand daughter." Anna who stood next to her grand father smiled. She knew they were only looking out for her that's why they were yet to accept Noah, but maybe if she tells them how far they've gone. They would know Noah is indeed serious.
"Grandpa, we just did a family introduction." Anna announced flashing her new big diamond ring. She was officially wearing Noah Declan's ring as a symbol of their love and evidence of being his wife.
"Oh Anna that looks beautiful." Kathy couldn't control herself anymore. She knew Noah was rich and could afford any and everything her neice would ever need in life, but the sin of his grand father is the only thing stopping them from loving him.
Noah is 'THE PERFECT SON IN LAW', they've always wanted.
"Anna go in and talk with your Aunties and want to have a few words with Noah." Anna nodded. She smiled at Noah and he did at her before walking to her room with her both aunt behind her.
When Anna got into her room, she quickly ran to lay on her bed. "Oh, how I miss home." She spread her hands.
"Has Noah been treating you badly." She sat up and shook her head. "Not in anyway. He's the best thing that has happened to me." Her smile expanded.
"Poor little thang." (Emphasis on the 'Thang', I did that on purpose). Gracie clicked her tongue.
"She's so in love..." Kathy said.
"Boys are bad Anna, especially men. Just don't trust him too much." She added.
"He's my husband aunt Grace what's the worst that can happen? Noah has done more than enough for me." She blushed thinking of the night he almost broke her waist.
"I bet." Kate rolled her eyes.
"Don't give your all, you'll never can tell what'll happen in the long run."
"Anyways, how much is that worth?" Kate changed the conversation quickly. She was happy her niece was happy, and for the first time, Anna gained an almost unrecognizable weight. She knew because she has raised the little girl into a grown woman herself.
"I don't know." Anna stretched her hands for both women to see the ring.
"It's... A rare stone." Kathy said to her neice to see her smile. She wasn't surprised, Noah had spent half a billion to buy her a stone and not only did her buy it for her he gave it to his personal jeweler to turn the stone into necklaces, anklets and bracelet.
Kathy took a picture of the stone on her wrist, "Let's see what my jeweler have to say about this." Kate added.
"Your drinks are here." A maid stepped in with a tray of juice. Even if Anna was seated with her aunties, she still thought of Noah. She wondered what her grandfather wanted to tell him.
"It's been like decades since we've sat together to drink like this." Kate raised her glass. "To good health and happiness, ladies."
"To good health and happiness." Both Anna and Grace responded, both smiling to their selves.
"How has grandpa's health been lately?" Anna asked.
"He's getting better according to the doctor. He would have been a lot better if you were here." Grace responded placing her butt next to her neice. Anna is like the child she never had and she loved her neice so dearly like her own child.
"I'm here now." She smiled.
"Whatever happened to Mack and Nari. We saw the news and it was nasty?" Kate asked.
"Noah." Anna stared to see her aunties look at her strangely.
"Noah dealt with them like he promised." Anna said proudly. She didn't feel bad for Nari or Mack, infact she feels good they're going through the same humiliation she went through with brokenness.
"Aunt Kathy." She called worried as her aunty passed a glass of juice to her. During their free time growing up as a child, she would always have her favorite drinks with her aunt while they gossiped about other family. It is pretty much what women are trained to do.
But her aunt's are different. Though they created little times to gossip and attend different events, they still helped their father to manage the company. Making it a big company today.
Anna wasn't good at solving maths or managing any company. She loved being beautiful and focused on that. While she was focused on beauty, her grandfather would always ask her to find a good man. And when she found Mack, or he found her. They had been happy.
Her family liked Mack so much because he was rich and from a wealthy family, Noah is richer and is the best business man in the country, but she still couldn't understand why they hate him so much.
"What is it Anna?" Kate asked her niece as she sipped her juice too.
"Why do you hate Noah so much even if we're married and he has done nothing to you?" Anna asked calmly.
"W... Who said we hated him?" Grace stammered.
"You do." Anna said. "Noah hasn't done one bad thing to me, he rather helped me deal with Mack and Nari..."
"And we thank him so much for that. Mack is an asshole and that husband of yours is too." Kathy said
"He isn't."
"You're only defending him now cause he's your husband and that is understandable. That man threatened us the very first day he stepped into this mansion." Grace started.
"He changed the rules of the house and brought in the butler he wanted for us. He has invaded our lives more than he should on his first day here, why should we like him? Besides he's the son of that..."
"That's enough Grace." Kate cut her off. "Everything your aunt Grace said is true. Noah is a bad manipulative man. You cannot force us to like him because he's... Married to you."
"But isn't that reason enough why you should not like him, but love him as much as you love me? I love Noah, he's the one I choose." Anna declared.
"Noah changed the rule for your good and safety."
"And that's a good thing, but you'll need to give us time to warm up to him." Grace said. Anna could understand her aunties points. She hated that Noah had scared them and threatened them the very first day he was here. He's only good and sweet to her and then the worse monster to others.
"What did he threaten you for?" Anna asked.
"It's no child's play Anna. You'll need to ask him yourself." Kathy said placing her glass back on the tray. She knew Noah would not hurt them since they're related to Anna, but at the same time she didn't want to say it herself.
She's still surprised Noah was yet to tell her about it, but she hoped he did. She hopes he would tell her before the general decides to do so himself.
She hated that her neice attracts the wrong men to herself.
While all three women conversed and argued, they heard a sudden gun shot fired from a distance and they froze.
