Chapter 153 - Unaccepted
She groaned when she got into the living area and she paused glancing at the door that led outside. She glanced back at Liam who was still taking short slow strides towards her.
"The moment you go outside, I will follow you," Liam warned with a smile that spoke of how much he enjoyed teasing her.
"You will be the one who gets punished if that happens. After all, I am not an adult. I am sure it will make a really good headline on tomorrow's newspaper," she informed him as she continued walking towards the door.
"You are an adult already. From the moment you turned sixteen, it was legal for me be here with you. And concerning your marriage, I will be getting married to a princess not a fashion designer's adopted daughter. We both know you turned eighteen months ago. The legal age for marriage is eighteen we could get married here in B city," he told her with a small smile.
"Uh?" She looked back at him wondering what made him sound so impatient and unbelievably shameless. "We have enough time for everything," she reminded him knowing he could do it.
"Yes but in case you forgot, the legal age for sex is sixteen," he said liking where he was taking the conversation to.
"That is one of the things I will ensure to change as soon as become Queen," she told him ignoring the suggestive hint in his voice.
"Don't bother changing it. It won't matter since you and I will be married by then," he told her. "I have to leave. I will be busy for a while preparing to get your true identity back but secretly until you want it to go public."
"Thanks by the way although I hope as time goes on, you will be willing to give me the answers to my questions," she told him when he joined her at the door.
"Yes. I will give you answers but you will have to give me your love too," he said. He nodded pleased with himself.
"I heard you are a genius. I think whoever called you that made a mistake," she told him sarcastically and stepped away from the door so he could leave.
Without picking offense in her words since she did not tell him she was not going to love him, he bent down to her very swiftly and placed a soft almost non-existent kiss on her forehead before leaving through the door.
With him gone, she touched her forehead where the close warmth disappeared from and pouted in displeasure. She really wanted more than that.
He succeeded in keeping everything away from her and he might have succeeded now but she made a promise never to let him leave her questions unanswered.
What she wanted to know, she will have to make him tell her since he succeeded in making her forget his questions. She could not forever remain on the losing side in their complicated relationship.
"Anna," she murmured under breath and groaned frustratedly. What makes Anna her enemy? She wanted an answer. Why was everyone and almost everything pointing fingers to stain her sister with the tag of a criminal?
She might be a fool to think her sister was innocent and meant no harm but she chose to support her sister. She chose to believe her sister was not her enemy and she doesn't care to believe what Liam said after all he disliked her sister or that was just what she chose to believe.
She persuaded herself with those words although a voice deep in her heart kept telling her not to over look any of this but she did not want to dig too deep. She was scared of what she will find out and experience personally once the secrets becomes known by her.
What she also thought about was if her sister also knows about the secret. If her sister knew what Liam knew and was successfully hiding it away from her.
She groaned once again and fell on the sofa forgetting all the elegance she spent a few years mastering.
However Liam made it possible for him to go in and out of her house comfortably, made her confused but she decided to forget about it since he have not gotten caught by anyone yet and he might never get caught. Perhaps he had her house under his control, like everybody was placed here by him.
"Whatever," she reminded herself to forget about it all.
There was a knock on the door and Anna pushed the door before walking in with a sad face. She have been unhappy since the exchange of words she had with Debby earlier but she seem more unhappy now.
"What is wrong?" Rose had to ask as she sat down upright with the appropriate amount of elegance.
"I did not get accepted into the Royal University," Anna announced with a very hoarse voice she had obviously been crying before she came to see Rose.
"That is just the first batch. You will get accepted in the next batch, okay?" Rose tried to encourage her as she stood up and walked to Anna.
"The first batch is all that matters. If I don't get accepted now, I might never get accepted again," Anna said as she began crying when Rose hugged her.
"No, they always have a second batch for such situations. You will definitely get accepted," Rose tried to encourage her. She had checked hers and she got accepted.
She was not surprised after all they were going to be happy to have an award winning designer study with their students when she should be in her work space working on a new design that will trend for a while.
She was overly confident in her skills and talent that she did not expect a negative answer from the school although she was aware of how how hard it was to get accepted to study in the Royal University.
It was the best university in the kingdom. She knew Anna was a genius and deserved to be a student in The Royal University, so what made them not accept her? It made her remember what Liam said about Anna to her and she clenched her fist angrily although she maintained a calm sympathizing look as she continued to give herself a soothing hug.
