Chapter 55: Fearing him

"I have amnesia from the accident five years ago, and this is a pain reliever; I take one pill every time my head hurts as it did before," she told him. When Edward noticed a mole on her left shoulder, he smirked and Anastasia looked at him with confusion.

"Ohh, I'm sorry, I just noticed a mole on your left shoulder because my wife had one too. I was just curious why you have the same face, same voice, same height, and mole in the same area. You should be curious about that too. I want to show you a picture of her but too bad I forgot my phone," he said as he walked closer to her.

"I don't know, but I'm so sure that you are my wife, I know it's you my Cassandra," Edward said quietly as Anastasia's eyes widened when Edward kissed her lips. She can't help but respond to him; she has strange feelings for him that are hard to explain. His touches feel like it's the touches she was been logging for a long time. This feeling that she can't feel when Anthony touches her.

"Even your body recognizes my touch, sweetie. Don't worry, I promise you I will take you back. I will make you remember me," Edward said quietly as his hand wandered around to her sensitive area and that was the time she woke up from her fantasy when she realized that it was all wrong as long as she didn't remember about her past this is wrong. "I'm not sure if I'm really the woman that he was talking about as long as I don't remember my past I am Anastasia. I already have a kids and husband and I don't want to ruin my family," She said to herself.

"Edward, this is wrong. I'm not Cassandra. I'm Anastasia and I already have a husband and kids. I don't want to ruin my family just because of you. We can't be so sure that I am here because j don't have a memory of you. I believe that you just miss your wife and that leads you to see me for someone else," She explained to him as she slowly let him go Edward grabbed her on her waist but before he does what he wants when someone punches her in his face.

Anastasia looked up and she saw Anthony enraged. "F*ck you! Don't you ever there touch my wife!? How there you to come here!?" Anthony exclaimed, he was about to punch Edward again when Akia appeared and when she saw her father had some bruises on his face Akia cried loudly.

"Anthony, please stop!" She stopped him by hugging him to help him calm down.

"Edward I swear If I see you again in my house. I will not hesitate to kill you for real!" he yelled at him angrily.

Edward then chuckled as he walked closer to him. "Don't try me, Anthony, I'm almost there. Cassandra will be mine again soon. Just wait for my move. I'm gonna exposed everything to her that you are a liar and a loser," Edward whispered before they leave.

"What is Edward doing in our house? Are you cheating on me, Anastasia!" Anthony asked angrily.

"No, he's just here to talk to you," she explained, trying to calm him down.

"Then explained everything about this!" Anthony demanded angrily, holding up his phone to show the CCTV footage. It was her and Edward kissing earlier.

"It's not what you think, Anthony!" she tried to explain, but Anthony rushed into their room and pushed her into their bed. "Honey, let me explain. Please--" she didn't finish her sentence when Anthony threw her in the bed.

"What are you doing, Anthony?"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson, Anastasia, and this is what you will get if I see you talking to that jerk again!" Anthony yelled as he removed his pants.

"Please don't do this, honey, it's just a misunderstanding," Anastasia begged, terrified of what might happen.

"Undress right now!" Anthony demanded.

"No," she sobbed, shaking her head as she can feel her hands trembling with fear.

"You don't want to undress? Let me undress you then," Anthony said, drawing her in closer as his hand wandered all over her body and kissed her forehead.

"Please, Anthony, don't do this," she begged, as Anthony looked at her. He was amused seeing her wife afraid of him.

"That's it, honey; you should fear me," Anthony said quietly as she clasped her jaw and drew her face close to her, looking her in the eyes and warning her.

"You are mine and I'm your husband. You should always remember that. Am I clear?" he gritted, and she nodded desperately to get away from him.

"Oh, she was insane to think she could get away from me," Anthony thought to himself.

"Who will you believe? me or him?" Anthony questioned her. His patience is wearing thin. He has never been disrespected in his 32 years, and he won't let his wife do that too.

"Y-you," she murmured, her gaze shifting away from him.

Anthony smirked in response to her reaction. He began to love seeing her fearing him. She invaded his peace the first time he met her, and he was put within her reach, but now everything was set, and he will not let Edward ruin everything. "She will always be within my reach," he said to himself looking at her again.

"Get dressed now and stay in our room; you need to reflect on yourself," he said, leaving Anastasia crying alone, as she heard the door was being locked.

She changed her clothes and sat in the corner of their bed again after a few minutes of crying. She'd been locked in their room for three hours when she heard a creak on the door and their nanny appeared with a plate of food.

"Ma'am, here's your food; please eat it; you need to be strong," Manang Soling said, her eyes showing that Manang Soling was concerned about her.

"Manang, I know you've been working in this family for far too long; please tell me about my past. I desperately want to know myself. My mind is messed up; please help me. I want to be free of this," she pleaded.

Manang soling, on the other hand, shook her head. "I don't know anything about your past, Ma'am, but I can tell you that you need to escape, and you should flee with your son. I don't want you to end up like her."
