Every step through the airport reminded her. time was short, and distraction were a luxury she couldn't afford.
Anna walked out of the airport with her bags and stood outside, waiting for the driver to pick her up.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulders. In one swift motion, Anna grabbed it and twisted, making the person scream in pain.
Rico Roberts
Ahh... Anna let go of my hand! it hurts!
Anna Miller (FL)
Oh you...
She let go of his hand, leaving him to wince.
Rico Roberts
Ow! Devil! Are you trying to break my hand?
Anna Miller (FL)
Blame yourself for this... I only reacted.
Rico Roberts
* rolls his eyes* Let's go...
As Rico spoke, Anna nodded and followed him toward his Lamborghini Aventador. He tossed her luggage into the trunk while she slid into the passenger seat. Rico settled in the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove toward the mansion.
The ride was quiet, both lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Rico broke the silence.
Rico Roberts
How have you been? It’s been so long since you left this country
Rico Roberts
*rolls his eyes*
Anna Miller (FL)
So… how did Roman and my sister end up together?
Rico Roberts
They’ve been in love since childhood. Eventually, they confessed to the elders. They agreed.that’s all.
Rico Roberts
Of course the elders would agree as you guy's families have been friends for generations. As for this wedding… it’s only going to bring both families closer and strengthen the bond
Anna Miller (FL)
* annoyed * Fine....shut up
Rico Roberts
*rolls his eyes and mutters*Why ask me, then tell me to shut up? Weird woman...
Anna Miller (FL)
I heard you, idiot.
Rico smirked and drove straight to the mansion. Finally, they arrived, and he stopped the car in front of the grand estate.
Anna stepped out of the car, followed by Rico. The mansion’s butler, Joseph, approached, greeting them.
Butler Joseph
Welcome to the mansion, Ms. Anna, Mr. Rico. * bows down*
Joseph took the keys from Rico and gestured for them to enter the mansion.
As they entered, Anna’s eyes took in the grand hall marble floors, golden chandeliers, towering pillars, and crystal accents, every detail radiating luxury and opulence.
Her eyes shifted to her mom and Aunt Victoria, seated on a plush sofa, chatting happily, while Natasha and Roman sat beside them, laughing and flirting with each other
Rico then spoke loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.
Rico Roberts
Look who’s back!
Everyone turned toward him and saw Anna standing beside him.
Natasha, Helen, and Victoria rushed toward Anna. Helen wrapped her in a warm hug.
Helen Miller
Oh my God… how have you been, dear? Look at you… so thin! Finally, you’re here!
Anna Miller (FL)
* hugs her mom* Calm down, mom... I'm here.
When Anna spoke, her mother burst into tears, holding her tightly, seeing her daughter after so many years. Natasha and Victoria’s eyes glistened as they watched. Rico smiled lightly, while Roman stepped between Natasha and his mother, placing a comforting hand on each of their shoulders.
Anna Miller (FL)
If you all keep crying… I’ll go back to Russia again.
At Anna’s words, everyone fell silent and wiped their tears. Her mother grabbed Anna by the ears, pulled her to the sofa, and pinched them tightly.
Helen Miller
You dare think of going back again? Never!
Anna Miller (FL)
Mom, leave my ears! It hurts! * in pain*
Rico, watching nearby, stepped closer to Anna’s mother.
Rico Roberts
Yes, Aunt, pinch her ears harder!She grabbed my ears even harder and it still hurts! *complains*
Anna glared at Rico. He stuck his tongue out, making her furious. She lunged to catch him, but Rico darted around the sofa, teasing her. Everyone watching laughed, smiles of happiness lighting up their faces.
And suddenly, the mansion doors swung open wide, and a commanding voice rang out.
