Chapter 7
7 Interceptions
Anna walked upstairs and it still felt surreal as nobody tried to stop her. It was only Daniel who had followed his father while Renee and Kyra kept glaring at her. Mary barely spared her a glance.
Anna had even thought of excluding Mary from her revenge plans but after how Mary had acted, Anna knew that the Monroes were all cohorts and none would be spared.
“This is our wing,” Davis’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
He opened the door and she entered into a beautiful and massive bedroom.
“It’s very beautiful,” she gasped.
“Didn’t you stay in a more beautiful room when you were married to Daniel?” Davis inquired.
Anna blinked, feeling terribly shy of what next she had to say.
“Not really.”
“But you both were married?” he asked.
“We didn’t sleep in the same room. My room was downstairs, in one of the guest rooms,” Anna replied.
“Well, now you have the whole house all to yourself.”
“How did you do it?” Anna asked.
Davis shrugged, he couldn’t exactly answer this question because it would mean revealing his secret.
“Need–to–know basis,” he answered.
“Well, the important thing is that you did it. A part of me was wondering if you were probably working with them and wanted to make fun of me.”
“I would do no such thing, Anna. Even I have my limits, all I can say is I will help you make them pay.”
Anna nodded. “So now about sleeping arrangements.”
Davis arched a brow at her.
“Absolutely not! We have to show love and affection both in private and public places.”
Anna frowned, “I know that but do you think it’s a good idea for us to sleep on the same bed?”
“Why? Are you attracted to me?”
Anna scoffed as she looked away, her cheeks slightly turning red.
“Why would you even think I’m attracted to you?”
“Because I’m a very attractive man.”
Interceptions.
“Now you’re just being cocky,” Anna frowned.
“Don’t frown so much, it’s gonna make you look really old,” Davis pointed out.
Anna placed her bags in the wardrobe and glared at him.
“What’s the next plan?” she asked.
“Now you start going through every inch of this house to try and find out hidden secrets,” Davis replied.
Anna arched an eyebrow at him.
“You’re serious?”
“Yeah.”
“Is this your big secret plan?” Anna asked.
“This is a start,” Davis replied.
“Well, you can start working according to your own plan.”
“I have succeeded in getting you into the house now so you should be able to do well on your own.”
Anna nodded just as her phone beeped. It was a text from Lily. She wanted to know how she was doing.
“I need to go find Lily,” Anna said.
Davis waved her off, “Do whatever you want.”
Anna headed back to the sitting room. She replied to Lily and told her she was good and would be with
her soon.
“Hey!”
Anna stopped in her tracks as she stared at Renee who was glaring at her.
“I don’t care what William says I won’t have you ruin my life here,” Renee snapped.
“I believe he said if anyone harasses me he would cut them off,” Anna replied smugly.
“Why are you here, Anna?”
“It doesn’t concern you. Why don’t you mind your business.”
“This is my business because I was doing well here until you decided to crash the party,” Renee snapped.
“It’s not my fault you’re insecure. Why are you so worried? Do you think Daniel would fall for me again?”
Suddenly Renee’s face that was masked with anger earlier on softened and tears filled her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Anna.”

Anna frowned, confused.
“What are you doing?”
“It wasn’t my intention to take Daniel away from you, please punish me and leave the entire family out of this,” Renee cried.
“What are you doing to her?” Daniel snapped behind Anna.
Anna whirled around and saw Daniel coming towards them. She suddenly understood why Renee had changed her attitude and was acting so pathetic.
“What are you going to do, Daniel?” she asked, walking up to him.
She loved the power Davis had given her.
“Last I remember, your father made it clear that anyone who doesn’t respect me will get cut off.”
It felt so good to finally look Daniel in the eyes and be so smug without being scared of the
consequences.
“Anna, why are you acting so mean? This isn’t how I’ve known you to be.”
Daniel’s soft voice threw Anna off–guard. She hadn’t expected him to sound so genuine and concerned.
“Why are you suddenly sounding concerned?” Anna asked, flustered.
Daniel held back the smile that threatened to surface on his lips.
His father was right about Anna still being in love with him and him using it to their advantage.
But truth be told, Daniel’s ego was slightly bruised from the fact that she was already married to someone else who was better than him.
“I’ve always been concerned about you, Anna, you just have been so wrapped up with your hatred for Renee to notice it.”
Daniel noticed the way Renee arched her brow and gave him a questioning look. He tilted his head slightly at her and she understood.
“But you told the world Renee is pregnant for you,” Anna said.
“You know how I’ve always wanted to have a baby.”
Daniel ran a hand through his hair. Rence wasn’t supposed to know about his subtle flirt with Anna and he had no answer to her question concerning the baby.
“It’s not what you think,” Daniel settled to say.
Anna noticed a subtle change in Renee’s face at the mention of the pregnancy.
It disappeared immediately but she was very certain it was a hint of fear she had seen in Renee’s eyes.
7 interceptions
Why would Renee be scared of talking about her pregnancy? Anna mused.
“Anna?” Daniel called, pulling her out of her thoughts.
Anna blinked and then smiled at them.
“I’ll leave you both.”
Then before anyone could say anything she walked outside but was intercepted by Kyra.
Anna almost screamed when she stood in her way.
“Are you going somewhere, slut?” Kyra smirked.
Anna sighed. She has always known Kyra wasn’t one to follow the rules.
“I don’t want any trouble, Kyra,” she settled to say.
Anything that would let her get to Lily’s home right now and test her theory.
“Well you should have thought of that before barging into my house again,” Kyra snapped.
“I don’t recall us ever having any issues, Kyra.”
“I never liked you, Anna. Especially when you willingly volunteered to marry my brother.”
Anna felt her eyes sting as she recalled the humiliation of having to marry Daniel.
“Be careful, Kyra. Don’t say things you’ll regret,” Anna said calmly.
Kyra chuckled, “Wolf Cub has finally gotten claws.
“Don’t forget who has been looking out for you ever since your miserable parents died.”
At the mention of her late parents, Anna snapped. She rarely got angry but when she did it was a
disaster.
“How dare you refer to my parents as miserable?” Anna asked in an eerily calm voice.
“That’s exactly what they are. And you are as miserable as they were,” Kyra snapped,
Anna took a deep breath and she struck her, smacking her on her cheeks.
“Enough with this nonsense, Kyra. But I won’t let you or anyone disrespect my parents and get away with it!”
Kyra held her cheek in disbelief, “You slapped me?!”
“Cry to your father if you’re so bold and I will tell them exactly what you’ve done.”
When Kyra didn’t make any move, Anna nodded.
“That’s what I thought. Now if you’ll stop intercepting my movement, I have come here to be.”
Kyra walked out of the house, a smile playing on her face. Her first target was Renee.
