{Anna’s P.O.V.]
The bars were red, the trumpets played out fast-paced music, and the drums skipped my heartbeats. I drank a glass of strong wine and rushed to the noisy dance floor without looking back.
Countless men’s eyes fell on me, and I liked the feeling that these men wanted me but could not get what they wanted. That was because if any man dared to come near me, my bodyguards would mercilessly beat the sh*t out of them.
While I was immersed in this, the leader of the bodyguards and his men squeezed into the center of the dance floor to get to me. When my mood was disturbed, I immediately turned hostile and berated the man, “Louis, is there something wrong with your brain?”
Louis allowed me to scold him. His cold face showed no remorse for doing so whatsoever. He only replied indifferently, “Madam has requested for you to go home. Miss, please come back with us quickly.”
So it was my mother who asked for me… Well, ever since I went to university, my mother has rarely bothered me. Since she wanted me to go home, she must have something to do with me.
I decided that I would go back.
As the eldest daughter of the Marcus family, I had a car to pick me up whenever I went out. I called for that car and soon arrived home. After I entered the house, I did not know if it was my imagination, but I felt that the bodyguards were rummaging around for something. It was if something was missing
in the house.
So when I saw my mother, I asked her what was going on, “Mom, is there something missing from the house?”
My mother seemed to be really angry. With one hand on her head, I walked up to give my mother a massage on her head. I heard my mother sigh. “It’s about something embarrassing.”
What kind of joke was that? I laughed out loud. “Mom, are you kidding me? There’s only you, Dad, and me in the house. We’re both dignified and elegant celebrities. What do you mean something embarrassing happened?”
“Ah!” Mom sighed heavily, she continued, “I asked someone to look for the little b*tch. In the end, they couldn’t find her and found that many of the antiques in the house had disappeared.
“Even if the little b*tch ran away, she wouldn’t be able to take away that many antiques. I don’t know how long it has been since the house was broken into, but no one found out.”
“What’s the big deal about that?” I comforted my mom. “It’s just some antiques. Just throw them away. The police aren’t freeloaders. Ask them to investigate. If they can’t find anything, go to the mayor and complain to them.”
My mother grabbed my hand, which was massaging her head, and turned to face me. She said earnestly, “Listen, Anna, this is a big deal. The richest man, Mister Richard, wants a wife. He asked your father if he could wed you.”
“What?!”

I could not stay calm when this was about me. Losing antiques at home was nothing to me, but Richard actually wanted me to be his wife?! Who was Richard? Was he the pervert who had tortured his five wives to death? He was old and ugly, and he wanted me to be his wife? I refuse!
Moreover, I saw him abuse Sophie with my own eyes.
1 instantly shattered everything on the coffee table down, and the blueberries in the fruit bow! fell to the ground and rolled around.
“Mom, you and Dad didn’t agree, right?”
I grabbed my mother’s shoulders, hoping that she would give me a positive answer. Unfortunately, my mother only glanced at me and said, “Anna, calm down!”
“How can I calm down about this?” I shouted out of control. “Is it that Richard? I saw him strangle Sophie and push her into the pool.”
Sophie was my senior, and we established a sincere friendship at school. Soon after Sophie became an adult, her family married her to Richard as his fourth wife. I attended one of Richard’s parties because of Sophie… Only to see him grab Sophie by the neck and push her into the water.
It was not long before Sophie died.
That was the last thing I was notified about Sophie, and I could not accept it.
My mother hugged me as she crazily vented out her anger as well. She lovingly stroked my back when she gently spoke, “Calm down, calm down, Anna. You are your father’s and my biological daughter, how could we let you fall into the fire pit. Richard only wants our daughter, have you forgotten that we
have a little b*tch in our family?”
I stopped howling and quietly listened to my mother.
“That little sl*t, Martina. I’ve raised her for so many years in vain. It’s time for her to repay us. As long as we send her over, you’ll be safe. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to my baby.”
After I completely calmed down, my mother continued, “Now, there’s a small bump in this situation. That little sI*t has escaped.

“But it doesn’t matter. No matter how far she runs, she won’t be able to escape from me.
“Tve already sent people to look for her. She’s an orphan. She’ll be found soon.”
After hearing my mother’s words, I cried out loud in fear. “Mom, I’m scared. I’m afraid that I’ll be like Sophie. Richard is a murderer. I don’t want to have anything to do with him. I don’t want… I want to leave this place. Mom, help me…”
Mommy patted my head and made up her mind. “Go pack your things now. I’ll send you abroad to study. No matter how long Richard’s hands are, they can’t reach you abroad. When you get there, you’ll be safe. Anna, don’t be afraid. With me here, you’ll be fine.”
I kissed my mother’s face longingly and ran upstairs to pack my things as fast as I could.
Once I get out of here, I will be safe.
