The Sins of Anna

****

I seriously thought things couldn't get any worse, I storm out, the door to my room slams behind me. I hear it fling open, it vibrates slamming into the wall.

"Would you just, fucking stop already?" Ren shouts stomping down the hall after me.

"Go, to hell," I growl over my shoulder. I was seething with anger. I start jogging, going down the stair. I hear his footsteps pick up, chasing after me. I make my way out back to the garden. When I feel his hand grip around my arm.

"Would you just listen for a second. This isn't the same." I kick him as hard as I can in the shins. He growls, is eyes red with furry staring down at me.

"I don't give a shit, if you think that I'm just going to watch you walk away again, and sit around pining like a pathetic little girl. Then you're a fucking moron. You got to go back, fine, then we return together." I stomp my feet in defiance. His hand still gripping hard on my arm. He was stubborn but so was I. We glare at each other. The tension was enough, that the maids who came out and saw us, turn and scurry back in, not daring to interrupt.

"You don't get it, you never fucking get it. The danger you could be in. Now it's a whole other mess that I need to clean up. This time the situation is unpredictable, I don't know what to expect from these guys." I look at him eyes wide he was a mess. What was he talking about? Didn't this have to do with same shit we been dealing with? Placing my hand on top of the one gripping me.

"Ren whatever it is, we can face it together." I reassure him.

"I don't want you in harm's way, if things go bad. I know nothing about this gang Anna, but I am certain, them coming all this way, they mean business, and I will be damned if I am going to just sit here while they dare to stirs up trouble in my territory. Those fuckers want a war with the Feng clan to prove how big and bad they are, Then I will personally hand out retribution. I will show this fucker, Hunter whoever from this Satan's Foot Soldiers, what it truly means to bring fear, pain. His body won't be recognizable." I see the blood lust in his eyes as he squeezing my arm harder rambling on. I winced in pain.

"Sorry," He growls lowly, turning away from me. He was defiantly unnerved.

After that incredible moment, I didn't know what to think when he didn't answer me. His eyes where dig he sat up as if suddenly remembering something. When he grabbed the brown paper bag, I was honestly a little excited, wondering what he had brought. Honestly, I was hoping it was food. After great sex like that I was famished. When he pulled out five boxes of pregnancy tests, I didn't know is I should fall off the bed dying of laughter or smack him for acting so crazy seriously. One was bad enough, but five. I mean had been a few weeks but I haven't even had my period yet I still had time. Honestly, I hadn't meant to call him nuts but seriously he was acting crazy. Besides, why was it so important to know right away? I became defensive wondering if all he cared about was the child. That's when he dropped the bomb shell, that he would be returning and leaving me here. I can't recall everything I said. I was so pissed I started cursing him out. There was no way this was happening again. I had climbed out of bed tossing on clothes, and stormed out. I hadn't taken the text now that I think about it, I think I picked a few up, throwing them at him while I called him a horrible scumbag.

I open my eyes. He was still there his body tall, tense, ready to snap.

Thinking about Anna being there, I know her she will dive head first into danger. I know how people in this world will act, However, I've heard the report from Maliki, the cruel way this Leader from The Satan's Foot Soldiers has ambushed Feng patrols, taking care of several of our members on his hunt for me. David was bad enough. This fucker there was no telling the Dangers she faced if she crossed paths with him and I didn't want to find out. I close my eyes recalling the phone call at the hospital.

"Ren, we are trying to narrow down his location but, we don't know why he's here. This is this guy he's different from the lords and thugs we deal with normally. The men are scared. They need their leader. They need Lord Feng Reports say he's probably and even match in skill. Not once did he ever use a weapon taking out several of our men. We need to be careful. Know our enemy."

"Found out everything you can. I want this fucker dead and buried even if I have to do it myself." I was boiling over, how dare he come into my town terrorize my men. Stir up this kind of trouble. He wants he well the bastard was going to get me. However, I didn't want Anna getting in the cross fires if he was as good as Maliki said. I had no idea if he played dirty or not, but she would not stand and watch quietly. I wanted to tell her there at the hospital but when I saw her looking at me tears streaming down. My heart broke and the fire cooled for a moment I needed to take care of her. I had no idea what made my woman who tried to be so strong suddenly crumble but she was falling apart suddenly and all I new was I had to hold her together. Telling myself, just a little more time, then I can tell her.

"Ren." He soft voice called out to me. Her hand grabbing onto my shirt sleeve. She looked calm but I could feel the tremble. As she was looking at me. She was definitely afraid of me right now, but she was trying so hard not to be, even though anyone with eyes could see I was losing my shit.

"You both should go." A voice called out from behind us near the fountain. I look back over my shoulder glaring at the intruder of our private conversation. Silverman was sitting in a wheel chair at the fountain. How long had he been there? His green eye where almost translucent in the sun as he stares back at us.

"What do you mean old man?" I growl at the man impatient waiting for him to finish his sentence.

"Just what I said take care of my daughter Lord Ren Feng, she'll take care of you." Silverman smiles raising his hands, suddenly maids come scurrying out helping roll him over the door frame and into the house.

I look and at Anna her eyes meeting mine. A fire that matches my own. My little Tiger, I caress her cheek. "Are you really sure about this." She smiles, standing on her tiptoe she kisses me on the cheek.

"I'll start packing." She bounces toward the house. I watch her. The temperament so different from little while ago I almost feel like I was played. I follow after her.

Bags packed, servants are carrying them down to the foyer, Anna takes a look around smiles walking toward the door pulling out her cell. The sound of heavy parchment hits the floor. I notice a folded-up envelope. I go to call after her, but she's out of ear range unless I shout. Looking at it I know I shouldn't. Still I unfold it. The script I don't know but as I read, I quickly decipher it's the letter from her uncle. Defiantly was emotional, I learned things I never knew. As I got close to the end though my fingers tighten on the letter wanting to rip it to pieces what the hell was this. Was this why she was crying. Yet she still plays ignorant. I clear my mind First I will deal with this gang then I will look into this. Anna, why did you lie.
