Bought For A Baby, Kept For A Lifetime-Chapter 155: Doomed!

She could feel her head banging as if someone was knocking on her skull, but more surprising was how the sound was so prominent it felt as if she could actually hear the banging and not just feel it.

Dazedly she moaned then moved to sit up feeling the blanket slowly fall and she felt the strong urge to lay back down in bed and pull the blanket back up, her eyes slowly opened and she could still hear the banging again.

Light flooded her whole room now coming from the windows, now slowly regaining her senses she realized the sound wasn’t in her head but coming from the door, someone was knocking on her door.

Realizing this, Anne jumped out of bed about to rush to the door when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

As if she’d thought about something, her pale face slowly began to fill with color until her cheeks turned beetroot red.

Her eyes slowly moved to the couch and her body stiffened before embarrassment made her wince and let out a drawled sound in shame.

"What the hell was I thinking last night?" Her finger ran through her hair in sheer exasperation.

The more she thought about last night, the more embarrassed she felt so much so she didn’t even want to leave her room or go out to see another soul again.

Stomping her fair feet lightly on the carpeted floors she groaned, willing all the memories to momentarily disappear so she could escape this feeling of embarrassment.

’If you want I can let you go, but first you’ll have to play a game with me.’

’What...kind of game?’

’It’s called five minutes submission.’

’...allow me to show you, I’ll guide you through the game...’

It seemed the moment she began to tell her mind not to remember, her brain began to work completely against her, replaying the whole scenario right from the beginning.

Shouldn’t she have been alerted when he’d proposed a game?

Why the hell had she been fooled that Andrew Sterling would want to play a board game or word game with her?

That devilish smirk on his face should have told her as much.

Though she thought this, her heart was pounding rapidly at the memories.

There was a dull yet ineffably sweet ache between her legs further reminding her very vividly how everything had unfolded last night, the things he did to her...the things she’d shamelessly done in the heat of the moment. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

’It’s just a game, I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do. Say no and I’ll stop...’

Why the hell hadn’t she been able to ask him to stop when he’d said that?

The knocking on the door suddenly seemed to be drowned out by her heart beating fast as she recalled something else.

’Has anyone ever told you, how beautiful you are?’

Something warm filled her chest.

’Every part of you...’

’Your eyes... they’re my favorite part of you.’

Her knees suddenly felt weak and she forced her mind out of the thoughts abruptly, taking a few steps to circle the same spot just so she wouldn’t keep thinking back, before she stopped to take in a deep breath.

If she didn’t stay idle, she wouldn’t have all these thoughts, she wouldn’t think back to them.

Why had he even said all those things to her?

It was as if he truly meant them...did he?

"Mrs Sterling, are you in there?"

Hearing a voice outside her door, Anne was suddenly awakened to reality and hurried to open the door finding Razia outside.

The woman smiled in relief as she stepped out.

"Ah, I was beginning to think you weren’t in your room."

"I’m sorry, I overslept a bit."

"That is normal in your condition Mrs Sterling, you don’t have to wake up at every burst of sunrise each day, the extra hours in bed will do you and the baby good."

As the older woman made this remark, Anne’s hand subconsciously flew to her stomach.

Her expression suddenly became somber and she looked somewhat lost in a distant thought for a moment.

"Master asked me to come fetch you, he’s currently waiting for you downstairs."

Hearing the mention of the person she absolutely didn’t want to see for fear that she would faint from embarrassment, Anne suddenly looked alert.

"Why is he waiting for me?" She quickly blurted out the question.

"You were both supposed to go to the Sterling estate this morning." Razia reminded patiently.

Anne had almost forgotten about that. How couldn’t she forget when she had a night like that...

She quickly shook her head.

No more thinking about last night.

Besides, something like last night would never happen again.

That had happened last night only due to the circumstances, she was locked in a room with Andrew at the time.

A man and a woman in the same room under such conditions, if she hadn’t been so easily swayed and melted into his arms, it obviously wouldn’t have escalated that much.

It wasn’t because he had feelings for her, it had just been a game to pass the time with her so the sooner she stopped thinking about it, the better it would be for her and her fragile heart that so easily went crazy over him.

She was doomed!

Of all people to fall in love with, it had to be a cold rigid man like Andrew Sterling, someone who only married her for specific reasons and not one that had to do with the heart.

"Mrs Sterling?"

Anne was extricated from her thoughts again by Razia’s voice.

"Can you please tell him to go ahead without me, I’ll come on my own in a while, I don’t want to have him waiting for me because I’m not even ready yet and it would take quite a while for me to get ready."

Razia nodded and turned to leave after she’d given that message.

Anne went back into her room, shutting the door behind her and leaning against it as she let out a sigh of relief.

At least now she wouldn’t have to ride in the same car as him.

How would she even look at him throughout the ride to the Sterling estate?

She’d escaped, at least for now.

She had barely finished letting out a sigh of relief when a knock sounded behind her vibrating against the door.

Anne quickly moved to pull the door open thinking it was Razia who’d forgotten something and came back to tell her, however the moment she swung the door open, a tall figure was standing there.

Anne froze instantly upon seeing who it was.
