I sit and wait as she tries on dress after dress, I will make her a goddess tonight. We go to a salon to do her hair and help cover up the marks that made her hide ashamed. Looking at them my blood just boils every time I will wipe him off the face of this earth with my own hands. Knowing she was hurt because of me I feel so guilty, but hearing that she told him that she preferred my touch, fuck it made me want to hold her again. I will not let her pass up this promotion interviewing me for the special feature just because of this. I worked to damn hard to arrange it for her so that she would have no choice but to see me; at least till I'm satisfied. As I'm lost in thought she finished getting ready I feel myself get excited as I look upon her. My angel had returned radiating. Wrapping my hand around her wrist I pull her close. I'd like nothing more than to whisk her off to my place and have my way with her, screw the charity. She looks at me surprised. I can sense fear in her beautiful eyes as she looks up like I'm some beast. She must still be scared from earlier but I don't care. I only see her, as I grab her chin tracing her lips with my thumb. I feel her hand on my chest as she tries to push away to put space between us, her face red as a tomato. Yet she doesn't ask for me to release her. I just want to tease her more smiling playfully at her horrible attempt to resist.

"Ummm, Excuse me! Your Ren Hashiro right!" Brought back to reality as one of the hair dressers pushes her way between me and my angels space.

I wanted to explode, the moment was ruined as I let Anna go and turn to the stylist. I see Anna's expression from the corner of my eye. She looks like she just sucked on a lemon and she turns away from us like it doesn't matter to her. Cute little Thing is jealous. I can't help wanting to make her more flustered to see how she will act, as I smile back at the hair dresser.

"What can I do for you or is it something you want to do for me?" I smile teasingly.

She instantly closes in throwing herself at me. I feel her lips on me as she slips her card in my tuxedo pocket sneering at Anna as she lets go. What a disgusting woman thinking she's hot shit. I see Anna walk out of the store and wait for me outside as if to give me privacy. I chuckle at her, she's perfectly easy to understand. I take the card that was given and rip it up in front of the stylist my amused expression gone now that my angel isn't paying attention. The woman who had jumped me smiling face falls flat as I walk out.

"Let's go angel." I wrap my arm around her waist to escort her to the car but she pushes me away and gets in on her own. Was she angry with me? We sit quietly as we drive to the charity gala for orphanages. She looks so good sitting next to me. As we arrive we are met with many cameras flashing. She stood there froze looking worried, I couldn't help wanting to protect her from everything when I see her scared as a lamb. I grabbed her close hiding her face as I escorted her quickly into the building. My dream to be alone with this woman though tonight was short lived when Maliki comes and informed me that Mr. Michovali was here tonight. I didn't realize the leader of the Golden Dragon clan would be here which meant she would be here. Sighing heavily, I look wryly back at my angel as she waited for me to finish talking to Maliki. Her green eyes wide where staring straight ahead. Why did she look so anxious I follow her gaze? The crowd parted as a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties with long black hair, pale cream colored skin, rose lips, and blue eyes elegantly swaying hip walk towards us, her arms link with an older gentleman. He was wearing a mischievous smile as he looked our way escorting his daughter. His grey hair slicked back crinkled eyes as if smiling at Anna.

"You didn't call me, so I wasn't sure you were coming." Serena pouted as she let go of her father and wrapping her arms around me.

"CEO Hashiro it is a pleasure to see you tonight." Flicking his eyes to Anna "May I ask who is your radiating partner here." I see Anna step back as the man reaches to take her hand. She must sense it to in his eyes.

"No one, Mr. Michovali, Just a hired escort,"

"Oh, then you won't mind taking care of my daughter would you." This bastard man knows every will who Anna is as he's the one who brought her to my room that night. I can't let Anna get involved or who knows what will happen.

"Doesn't bother me either way sir." I reply shrugging.

With that Serena, had moved in to my side and pushed my angel to the side lines to watch. As I'm dragged into the center of the crowd.
