High School: Way to Forever

Chapter 275: Do you want to get engaged?

Please guys!

.

"I will continue this engagement, dad," Anna answered, surprising Liam and David.

But Chris had expected this answer as the smirk on his widened even more, almost reaching his ears.

This was something they hadn't expected at all. Till this time, they felt that she would leave this engagement son. 

Liam had many things going inside his mind but he didn't raise them. All he did was give her a meaningful glare but Anna ignored it as her eyes were simply fixed on Chris's smirk which was provoking enough for her.

"Anna, are you sure?" Liam once again asked to confirm whether she is ready for the situation or not. He had to confirm one again.

"Yes, dad. I'm ready to marry this demon. Let's see, if he can handle me or not!" Anna was determined as her eyes showed the flare of revenge. Everyone was aware of how eager she was to face Chris with her anger.

"Alright. As you wish Anna. let this engagement be held after two days as Chris has planned it earlier. Mr. Steve, I hope that all arrangements will be perfect as always because I don't want anything to be lacking behind in my daughter's engagement." Liam shifted his cold eyes from Anna and faced David instead.

While David was still confused about why Anna agreed to marry his son. He was fully aware of how ruthless and merciless Chris could be. What he had done to Walker's family, especially to Sierra was no longer a truth from the family members. Her agreed answer surely raised his suspicion but he had this much trust in his son that he won't let anything go wrong. 

The sharp Chris's mind works are known to him and this situation must be known to him already!

He gave a smile to Liam and spoke, "It is our son's marriage. How will we leave any stone? Engagement will be done in a whole traditional manner and our guests will be surprised to find such a lovely couple as well!" David boosted but no one agreed to his words which made him a little bit embarrassed as well.

In the end, it was decided to let everything go and start anew.

But then, Liam took a sip of wine as he looked at Chris as if he was looking at any piece of shit.

"If you will dare to do anything which will end up hurting my daughter like before, trust my words, I will kill you without any mercy and you are quite aware of that fact!" Liam showed no emotions and a small smile came to Anna's face when she heard her father's words.

'All of a sudden, he is acting like a protective father!' This made her heart warm up a little bit as she looked at her father's expression.

But Chris did not blink his eyes too. I knew Liam was a named person in the business world but he was no less. "I know the father in law. Your daughter will be safe with me until she doesn't rebel and do something that makes me more and more upset."

"She will do everything that she wants. Don't you dare to stop her or cut her wings? My eyes are there on each action so take your step very carefully." Saying this, Liam finished his wine and exited the study room, leaving everyone behind.

They all looked at his back, as the aura that he carried was always seen. Because being best in the underworld and carrying so many responsibilities of a walker family is an important thing.

He never maintained a happy relationship, except with his wife and children.

But everything changed when the incident happened three years ago.

"Umm... I shall go back as well. You both spend some time and try to understand each other. Give yourself another chance." David also spoke and went out of the study, leaving Anna and Chris alone.

While Anna was going to go back to her room, Chris held her wrist back from behind, asking her to stop.

"Leave my hand, Chris. I don't wish to talk with you." Anna spoke with her emotionless voice.

"An, we are getting engaged. Why are you still acting cold towards me? Do you still have feelings for Alex?" Chris can't help but ask.

Although he had kept an eye on both of them and had received everything negative. they both haven't been in contact for so long which made him happy but why is she still acting so coldly?

This thought was revolving in her mind for so long. Now, he wants to know the answer to this question at last.

"Chris.. feelings don't get away so easily. It takes time for us to move on. I'm not like you. One night stand is your piece of cake, not mine I need time. Although I have agreed to get engaged to you, that doesn't mean that all my feelings have vanished away." This time, Anna maintained a plain and simple tone.

She had no I tend to fight with him at this point because she was already exhausted from everything. The day was hectic as well as emotionally challenging for her.

From facing every up and down, Anna had to act normally and can't show her real anger which was residing in her inner self.

But Chris did not let her go. When he noticed her calm tone, he relaxed a little bit as he sighed in relief.

"Anna, I don't wish to upset you. I.. I just can't handle you, thinking about some other man and especially when he is my brother. I don't want to kill him because mom will be upset." Anna did not reply to him.

But her other hand was clenched into a fist when she heard that he wanted to kill Alex but just is holding himself because Klara would be unhappy. But Anna had no interest to talk about Alex anymore.

Because her motive and plans are known to none. Not even Alex. 

"I need to go. Bye, Chris." Saying this, she took out her hand out of his grip and walked back to her room where she almost ran to her place.

Locking the room behind her, Anna took a deep breath as she felt her heart was beating too loud.

She had maintained a cold composure around her but the thought of getting engaged to Chris is making her heart shutter.

All through the time, she wanted to get engaged to Alex and wanted to live with him. But what is happening now? She is breaking both of their hearts.

"I..I..m s..sorry Alex!" Anna broke down as she sat on the ground with her head in the knee.

The mental challenge that she was going through was making her emotionally and mentally weak. She never wanted to be with Chris! But her destiny is planning another game over her which she isn't even being aware of.

The room was silent, nothing can be heard except the sobs of Anna. She was missing Alex so much that it was difficult to even breathe without him!

'Can't he even just contact me for once? Does he really mean that he will leave for forever?' Anna found that funny as well the truth she was facing.

She was too, heartbroken that he actually cut off everything between them just because did something and asked him to wait for a few more days. Clearly saying, she had no intention of getting engaged to Chris. all she had planned was to kill him at the right time.

What Anna had no idea about was, Alex on the other side was too planning his attack to take over the business and kill Chris if chance he gets engaged to Anna.

He won't leave any stone as well, to get his love back like before. Standing in front of the screen, he saw the statistics of the business of Steves.

"So, it looks like Chris doesn't have any shares at all. Instead, everything is in dad's hand." A smirk came on his face. Alex's face looked more dangerous with the killing intent coming around him as his eyes were glued to the screen.

"Yes sir, everything is going according to our plan. Our arms at the point and will attack the whole Steve mansion, once you order it." Alex knew that his power was nothing then it came to combine the power of Walkers and Steve.

But he was ready to take the risk because he can't afford to lose Anna. Especially when he has got another opportunity to be with her after he had committed a grave mistake in his life.

"No. We will attack the ageement day. Let us see if Anna has something planned under her sleeves or not. If not, then we are ready to attack them after two days!"

"Sir, are you sure?" Saven again asked, to confirm.

"Yes, let us wait for Anna's move and see what she is up to."
