Love from My Dominant Boss - Season 3 Episode 46

“Anna, do you want to be with me because of love or because of the title of Mrs. Shaw?” He stared at me intently. His frown remained on his face.

What? Does he seriously think I want to be with him because I want to achieve such a title? Does he think I’m doing this merely for money?

Learning that was how he viewed me, a bitter smile tugged on the corner of my lips. I shouldn’t have asked him that. For him, everything between us is a joke.

“If you’re convinced I want to be with you because of that ridiculous reason, please leave. From now on, we’re nothing but strangers,” I stated coldly while pointing at the door, breaking eye contact with him.

So he thinks my feelings for him are fake? That I’m only with him for worldly possessions? Sure, being his wife means enjoying endless glory and wealth. Many women are competing to be with him, but I am not what he thinks I am. I love him, and that’s the only reason why I want to be with him. Even if he were just an ordinary person, my feelings for him wouldn’t change.

“Strangers? Are you trying to make me mad, Anna?” he questioned coldly.

“Maybe if I withdraw myself from your life, you’ll change your perspective about me.”

Yes. Maybe being strangers will open your eyes to see that I’m serious with you.

Enraged, Michael shot me a cold look before turning to leave in silence.

Though I was relieved that he was no longer around me, my heart ached, for I still could not believe that that was how lowly he thought of me.

Half an hour later, someone knocked on my door once again, but I ignored it, assuming that Michael had returned.

To my dismay, the knocking was insistent. It was getting annoying, so I opened the door in the end.

“Michael, haven’t I made it clear that we-”

My voice trailed off when I noticed that the person outside was not Michael, but Emma, looking immensely pissed off.

“Emma, why are you here?” I questioned with a frown.

What is she up to this time?

“You should know better, shouldn’t you? Stop pretending to be innocent, Anna!” she shouted while staring at me. Rage evidently dancing in her wards.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about! You’re not welcomed here. Get lost!”

Every time I met the woman, she never failed to make my blood boil. Now that I was pregnant, I had no energy to deal with her. So with that said, I proceeded to slam the door in her face, but she had managed to block it somehow.

“What? You’re afraid of facing me? Is that it?” Pushing the door open, she invited herself inside. Her glare never averted from me.

My brows snapped together as I sensed her contempt, and my patience was starting to get thin. “I no longer have anything to do with you, Emma. Please leave me alone!”

As I used to have an affair with Michael, I would sometimes feel guilty whenever I met Emma. But he and I were over now, yet she still came looking for trouble. There was no way I would allow her to throw a fit and step all over me.

“Is that so? Then tell me, you b*tch. Why are you still seducing Michael when you know we’re already engaged? Aren’t you ashamed that you’re this desperate?” she spat out angrily. A trace of hatred tainted her eyes.

“Excuse me? Who are you to call me a b*tch?” I refuted irritatingly as I stared back at her with the same amount of hatred.

“I’m saying this as his fiancée! Anna, I saw with my own eyes that he left this place earlier! Don’t you dare try to deny it! Why are you still clinging onto him, knowing he’s engaged now? What do you plan on doing exactly?”

It was ridiculous how she thought I had lost against her because she was now engaged to Michael. Sure, my heart stung when she mentioned she was his fiancée, but I would never let her know about that — I would never allow her that satisfaction.

“I’m not clinging onto him. He came here willingly. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself,” I informed sternly.

Though I didn’t want to have this meaningless argument with her, I could not let her keep making such a groundless accusation.

In the past few days, I had completely cut off contact with Michael and decided that we would be strangers from now on. Him showing up earlier had nothing to do with me.

“Do you think I’d buy your blatant lie? I seriously don’t know what Michael sees in you! Why is he this entranced with you? This is your reminder that Michael is now my fiancé. If you continue seeing him, I’ll make sure the whole Avenport goes against you!”

Nothing would change her mind regardless of what I said. I felt like I was simply her outlet to vent her complex emotions.

“I’m already immune to your threats. This isn’t the first time you’ve done this, but my patience has its limits too. I’ve already explained what’s needed to be explained. It’s up to you whether to believe me. This is my house, so leave! You better not show up here anymore!”

Since I had never expected her to come here, I was pretty taken aback when she showed up. However, that was also the reason for my fury. How dare she cause trouble on my territory? So what if she’s his fiancée? That still didn’t give her the right to do such a thing.

“How nice of you to still have the guts to threaten me. Anna, if you want to compete with me, look at yourself in the mirror first and foremost. I will never forgive you for stealing my man.”
