"Stand aside Mike." Ren suddenly appears tapping Mike on the shoulder. I see Mike grumble in disappointment. "If she's going to blow her anger at anyone it will be the one she's pissed at. Beside I have some questions for my dear bride." Ren was glaring at me as he spoke the same way he did when he was in a foul mood.

The men who had been sparring during practice all made room retreating to a safer distance leaving Ren and I standing at the center of attention. I watched Ren's every move as he removed his navy-blue dress shirt and silver tie tossing them away to the ground to avoid ripping them as most of the men here did or maybe they just liked being half naked. Maliki casually walked over shaking his head as he picked them up brushing them off without a word. I bit my lower lip not trusting myself to speak I had nothing to say and I was afraid to hear what he had to say.

Ren's face became more enraged as he watched me stand there his expression contorted. "Anna, I swear to god if you don't get into sparring stance I'm going to knock you flat." Ren growls but it was low. "Or am I not good enough suddenly, maybe I should have Silverman take my place." Why this bastard I launched forward punched left and right. My body moving on its own as I threw a kick straight forward but he caught it spin me around throwing me to the ground. Back on my feet I raced forward he blocked and just kept side stepping. I wasn't in control I wasn't myself. I was suddenly caught, my arm being pulled up behind me as Ren's other hand wrapped around my waist pulling me close against his sweaty chest.

"Let me go you despicable bastard, I said let me go." I growled at him trying to wiggle free. I felt a sharp pain rise in my arm and shoulders. Biting my lip, I tried not to cry out.

"I'm the despicable one," I hear him chuckle whispering in my ear his hot breath caressing my neck and ear disturbing all my senses. "I'm not the one that was in the arms of another where everyone could see I never thought you were such a greedy woman. When did you meet Silverman before my angel?" Feeling his tongue slither from the base of my neck up to the soft spot at the bottom of my ear. I jerk in surprise slamming my body back against him or bodies lost balance as I fell back in to him my arm released. Quickly I fumbled to get off him. He elegantly stood a look of satisfaction on his face as if he was triumphant. I was so annoyed with his smug look. I found myself Launching at him again wishing I could wipe that look off his face. However, it was for not because next thing I knew I had stepped in a small hole in the ground and tumbled twisting my ankle. I sat on the ground rubbing it forgetting I was fighting Ren forgetting the other men were there watching us. I could feel tears as I tried to stand, my ears ringing with whispers all around me I wanted to run and hide but there was nowhere to run too.

"Anna." Ren's voice soft rang in my ear with concern. Now he's worried, now he cares. I thought just moments ago he wanted me to hurt wanted me too, I felt my anger roll up my throat like I might puke. I glared at him my left hand squeezing my right arm trying to forget the pain on my foot.

"I'm fine just leave me allow." I brush off his hand

"Anna wait; we need to talk damn it!"

"You want to talk now!" I shout "Really, right here, right now with everyone watching. I below out my hands gesturing to our audience. "If you don't believe me fine, if you're going to throw me out then just do it stop playing these F'ing games with me Ren." I'm now shouting. "Believe me or not but I had no Idea who he was, we ran into each other on accident, next thing I knew he had grabbed me and you walked out. That's the end of it. The man was crazy he was insane he thought I was someone else. But instead you just assumed I went into that old geezer's arms." I'm now crying as I shout he just stands there saying nothing. "And the worst part is not only did you not believe me but you refused to let me stand beside you as your wife when it matters when you were being hounded to marry someone else a conversation I think I should have been a part of." Feeling sick to my stomach I turned and stormed off to the glass doors toward our room whispers fading behind me.
