Enough!! Michael cut her off,
"aren't u Soo good at making sweets, there'll be no food for you in this mansion anymore and you won't be allowed to go out for three days, let's see how you survive" Michael yelled out before Holding Anna's hand and dragging her to her room.
Anna's head collided with the stairs, sending sharp pains through her body and she went numb.
Michael slammed her head on the wall but Anna showed no reaction. She just stood there, weak and tired, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Why aren't you pleading and crying huh", Micheal yelled out angrily as he pulled out his belt, lashing it on Anna's body, leaving her dress torn into pieces.
Seeing her body covered in blood made Michael frown in disgust and he stepped out, locking the door behind him.
Anna laid on the cold tiled floor with tears in her eyes. She regretted being nice and loving. If only she had refused her sister that day, leaving her alone with her husband, perhaps she would be living her free, happy life right now.
But she got herself entangled in this mess, being treated as an animal. Three days without food, she might as well just die and she would be very grateful to God. She closed her eyes, wishing that when she opened them, she would find herself in heaven.
Would she go to heaven or hell? She didn't know but come to think of it she was living her hell on earth so when she died she would go to heaven. She imagined herself in a white robe, walking in flowers and before she knew she drifted off to sleep.
Three days passed, but what woke her up wasn't the deep voice of God and angels welcoming her to heaven but the angry growl of Michael ordering his guards to open her door and bring her out.
Anna opened her eyes and gazed at the room, she wasn't walking in flowers nor was she in a white robe. Rather, she was in her torn dress that was covered in blood and her room that was turned upside down by Michael, with her belongings scattered around and blood stains on the wall.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment and she quickly closed her eyes, praying she would die but before she could, several guards dressed in black stepped in and dragged her downstairs.
Anna was still in a trance and seeing the men dressed in black she assumed they were the guards of hell pushing her into hellfire and she trembled, fear engulfing her.
No, she wanted to go back, she would rather face Michael than burn in hell. But why was she being sent to hell. She had lived a good life. Seeing the men not stop, she started screaming.
" Let me go, I don't want to go to hell, send me back to the earth please, don't send me to hell".
The guards dragging her stopped and exchanged terrified glances.
"Has the madam gone mad? Why was she screaming such words about hell when they were currently in Michael's mansion".
Michael was confused as well. He simply wanted her to starve and suffer but who would have thought she would go mad. With a glance, he signaled the guards to leave her.
Anna felt herself being released and she could no longer see the guards. She sighed in relief, that means she wouldn't be sent to hell.
" Have u gone Crazy, Anna Gray, a few days without food and you have lost your mind, how funny", Michael mocked, his thin red lips curling in disdain.
Hearing Michael's voice, Anna flinched. What was Michael doing in hell, did he follow her or he died as well and has been sent to hell to atone for his sins.
With those thoughts swirling in her mind, Anna decided to settle for the latter because that made more sense. Even if Michael hated her, he probably wouldn't follow her to hell to kill her again.
It must be that he had died as well. With that thought in mind, Anna smiled sweetly and remarked, "we meet again Michael but now you will burn in hellfire and I'll be here to send You off" Her voice cracked into a cold laughter sending chills down the spine of the people present.
"Boss, should I call the doctor, madam seems to have lost it", Mallan whispered to Michael and he sighed.
He didn't expect her to go crazy easily. Hearing no response from Michael, Anna slowly opened her eyes and squinted around. She was shocked to find herself in the familiar mansion.
What?? She wasn't dead?? Or she died and came back to life? But she had seen Michael just now. Anna thought and opened her eyes widely as she took in her surroundings.
She wasn't dead, she was in Michael's mansion and the guards of hell she had seen just now were Michael's bodyguards who were now staring at her in fear as if she might eat them. Her gaze landed on Michael who was staring at her intently and she frowned.
Her body was weak and she felt she might get carried away by the wind. She tried to get up but she stumbled back and passed out.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself in her room and Miss Sarah's teary face came into view.
" Ma'am you are awake", Miss Sarah whispered Happily as she grabbed Anna's hands and cried silently. Watching someone care about her warmed Anna's heart and she smiled faintly.
" I'm fine Miss Sarah, thank you for taking care of me, " she whispered. She was really grateful to the old woman. If not for her treatment she would have died long ago.
" I made your favorite food, you should eat more, you look pale" Miss Sarah uttered worriedly as she handed a bowl of food to Anna and stepped out.
Anna stared at the food in the bowl and smiled before finishing it within minutes. After which she gulped down a glass of water. She feels a lot better now.
After lying in bed for a while, she got up. Her room has been cleaned nicely and she wore fresh clothes. Her heart warmed towards Miss Sarah and she smiled. Anna stared at herself in the mirror and screamed.
She was thin and her skin was pale, lacking any color. Her eyes were hollow and her cheek was left in bones that stood out. Her brows were crooked and her lips were dry with a few blisters on it. Her body was covered in wounds and she looked scarier than a ghost.
No wonder Miss Sarah had urged her to eat. She was already bad looking and after starving for three days she looked worse.
Anger boiled up within her and she dashed out to confront Michael, however she was shocked at the view before her.
Ava was curled up in Michael's arms, her head resting on his broad chest. Michael was massaging her feet and they were both engrossed in a hearty conversation. Anna swallowed hard and stumbled back.
