Chapter 55
Anna POV
I was fumbling with the belt of my dress on the way to the college. I was too nervous to do anything.

It has been around two years since I graduated and to think about socialising again with people was enough to make me panic.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I got startled. I looked to my side and saw that Mr Williams was smiling at me.
He told me that he would drop me to my college as it was my first day.
I refused and told him that he doesn't have to but still, he insisted and for that I am grateful.
Saying goodbye to my babies for a few hours was very tough for me.
I don't know why but they started to cry when I kissed them goodbye and left them with Jane.
Some tears fell from my eyes too when I saw their crying face. I hugged them and kissed their face to calm them.
But that didn't stop there crying. And after 5 minutes they fell asleep while crying.
Their flushed red face was breaking my heart slowly. But I told myself that I am doing this for them.
Rose told me to pump some breastmilk so that Jane would feed them in my absence.
I agreed because that was a great idea. So now I am not worried about their hunger but still, I miss them.
"Don't be nervous honey. You would be alright." He said and I bit my lips then nodded
He gave me a smile which I returned then turned my gaze toward the window away from him.
I heard him sigh. It's not like I am uncomfortable with him. It's just that I don't want to be comfortable with him.
I was alone since childhood then I got married but still was alone. And now I got to know that I have a father.
It was overwhelming for me. I don't know how to react or talk to anyone.
The car stopped and I turned to Mr Williams. He looked at me and said, "we have reached honey."
I nodded and my hands started to sweat. I can hear my heart thundering.
"Take a deep breath, Anna. Everything is going to be okay honey. Now listen to me I have talked to the headmaster about your guards and he agreed. They will follow you in college and I have also assigned a driver for you. He will take you home or anywhere you want to go. The guards would stay with you throughout the college. So don't worry. If anyone says or do anything just tell your guards, they will handle that person." Mr Willams told me softly
"Thank you for everything," I told him softly while looking downwards.
He pulled me into a hug and my body got rigid. He must have felt it too because he pulled back.
"I am sorry," I told him softly while looking down ashamed.
"You don't have to say sorry honey, I understand. Now come on. Do you want me to accompany you?" He asked with a warm smile
I thought about it for a second then shook my head and said: "I would be alright."
He nodded and kissed my forehead and said "you are really brave Anna. Don't let anyone say otherwise. And Amy is here too. If you want anything just ask her."
I looked at with shocked eyes. She is here. Is she going to make my life hell in college too?
"Don't fret honey. I had already talked to her and she won't misbehave with you. If she does then tell me. I will handle her." He told me
But I can't trust his words on this matter. I saw a lot of hate and jealously in her eyes for me.
I sighed and prepared myself to face the world. I grabbed my bag and got out of the car.
The cool wind was calming my nerves. I looked back and gave Mr Williams a smile and bid bye to him.
I started to walk toward the entrance and I showed my card to the guard and he opened the gate for me.
I looked back and saw that 2 men who were wearing black shirt and pants were following me.
They are strongly built and their height must be above 6'2. Their face has no emotion and their eyes were covered with shades.
I shook my head and turned back and started to walk again.
I looked around and saw that many students were talking to each other.
Suddenly their gaze turned toward me and they started to talk to each other while looking at me.
"Isn't she Jack Miller wife"
"She is so fucking hot. I can't believe she just had her kids 3 months back."
"She isn't even that pretty. I don't know why he married her."
"I am even prettier than her."
"She is a gold digger bitch. I heard she trapped Jack by getting herself pregnant."
"I bet she is a wild cat in bed. I promise you that I will have her in my bed before the end of this month."
I shook my head and bit my lips to control the tears that were pooling in my eyes.
"Silence. Do you want me to show you what Millers are capable of? You are insulting a Miller. Now fuck off."
I gasped when I heard a familiar voice of Charlotte Miller, my sister in law.
I looked behind me and saw that she was glaring at everyone. Now they turned their gaze away from me.
She looked at me then her hard gaze turned soft. She walked toward me and grabbed my hand.
She led me toward the reception and asked "She is a new student so give her, her schedule."
The receptionist nodded and asked me "your name"
"Anastasia Miller," I told her.
I don't know why I added his surname with mine. But it feels natural for me and thats the only surname I have ever used.
My parents told me to avoid using their surname as they dont want me to humiliate them.
That time, I was hurt but I thought that they just hate me thats why they told me to avoid using it.
But now, I know everything. They never considered me their daughter. For them, I was an outsider.
I snapped out of my thought when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Charlotte was looking at me with worry but quickly masked it.
She gave me my schedule and said: "Come I will drop you to your first class."
I nodded and she led me toward my first class. I looked toward her and said "Thank you for doing that "
She just nodded and said "Dont let anyone here disrespect you. You are Miller and no one got to insult a Miller."
With that, she left leaving me alone.

The classes before lunch break were not bad. I could feel the stares of all the people but I tried my best to ignore them.
Now I am standing outside the Cafeteria. I gathered all my courage then walked inside.
Just like in the morning, everyone stopped their work for a few seconds to stare at me.
But this time, I didn't turn my gaze downward instead I held my head high.
I walked toward the counter and took my lunch then paid for it.
I found an empty table and sat on it. I started to eat my lunch slowly.
I finished then wiped my hands with the tissues. I was about to stand up but stopped when I saw a familiar figure coming towards me. "Well Well Well isn't my sister sitting here."
