The Sins of Anna

we have a lot to discuss my love."

****

I hadn't meant to blurt it out that way. I had half expected him to blow a top and lose it especially after I had just rejected him blurting out a proposal. His hand on my back he gently guides me out to the car where everyone is waiting. Stepping and sliding into the car I look around Maliki was gone and Shion and David also where not there.

"What were you expecting this isn't a big car sweetie. Soon as you went in, I ordered a new car to come meet us. Maliki took the girl and David in that car. We will be meeting them there." Ren explains as if he knew exactly what I was thinking. I nod in understanding not trusting myself to speak.

I watch out the window as we drive down the dark streets everything becomes a blur. The smell of cigarettes and vanilla tickle at my nose. "Hold still Angel." Ren's deep voice vertebrate close to my ear. I blink and see Ren's face above me. His arms wrapped around me as he carried me. I start squirming.

"Ren I can walk." I protest.

"If you keep squirming about you going to make us both fall down the stairs and as much as I'm sure you want to see me fall on my ass, I'm sure you don't want to go down with me." he says smiling down at me mockingly.

I laugh "Might be worth it. I mean David did say I was going to be the down fall of you." I joke back.

"The only thing falling down is my dick, thinking about how you so easily sliced and peeled his like a banana." He gives me a cringing look I laugh harder. He stops and lets me down at top of the stairs. Looking around in the dark it's first time I realize we are at Feng manor. I feel a sense of warmth like coming home.

"Why are we here?" I question though I don't mind at all.

"Figured there was way too many people there and too many eyes on the house. Besides we need to talk, and I don't want anyone else disturbing us or any more confusion created from outside parties." He holds onto my hand tightly.

I had expected Ren to get angry. To accuse me of doing this on purpose to trap him. To accuse me as he did with my father when we learned who my parentage was. So, I feel really nervous with his calm attitude. As if I'm waiting for a bomb to explode because nothing is ever simple in this life and whenever I think things are going good something always destroys my fantasy.

"First things first." I say; placing my hand over Ren's. "I need to have a chat with our prisoner before I worry about anything else." His face goes cold.

"The hell you are!" Boom the bomb has exploded as he grabs onto me tightly. "You're fucking crazy for sure if you think I'm letting you anywhere near that man again!"

"This is my interrogation, you don't even know what this is about!" I shout back at him.

"You couldn't even stomach watching me interrogate someone not long ago."

"Don't be such a prick. I will do what I need to. This is the new me like it or not so get over it." I growl back at him.

Without a word for second time he is man handling me as he tosses me over his shoulder as he carries me through the threshold, through the house. He drops me down on the couch in his room.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

"I'm not arguing over this Anna you're going to sit and wait." I glare back at him. "Look." He says taking a deep breath. "Maliki know what this is all about from my understanding so let him deal with this. There is no need for you to go digging anymore and dirtying your hands anymore than this." His arms cross over his chest as he looks down at me. I bite my bottom lip wanting to argue back but he was right. Maliki has been with me every step of this process. After Jack royally screwed me, I can barely speak to him let alone trust him. Thinking about it makes me sad. When I return to Silverman's Manor, I will have no one I can really trust.

I feel the couch weight shift, I glace over seeing Ren relax. He takes out a cigarette and lights it. I watch as he takes a deep puff and releases it into the air. "So, are you going to tell me what you are up too, or am I going to have to force it out of Maliki or Mike?"

Full attention on him I turn to face him, "You wouldn't!" I say gasping at is threat. He shrugs stands and searches the disheveled drink cart and finds a bottle of scotch in one piece. Looking around the room was still trashed. He sits back down popping open the bottle. He takes a swig directly from the bottle.

"You'd save me a whole lot of trouble in causing my brothers a whole hell of a lot of pain if you'd just tell me." I take the bottle from him pop it open and take a swig. When I remove it from my lips, I notice his glare.

"If there's a chance you could be pregnant than you shouldn't be drinking." He growls snatching the bottle back.

I glare back "it takes a full month to find out if a child is conceived from the initial incident." I growl back. What next, he's going to tell me I'm on house arrest and can't go anywhere because it's too dangerous. His mouth goes straight as he struggles not to argue back.

"Are you going to tell me?" He says looking away and taking another swig.

"No, because we were supposed to be having a talk not an interrogation."

"You want to have a talk fine, who's calling Silverman to tell him we are getting married."

"Are you drunk already? I'm pretty sure I already told you no." I try to snatch the bottle back. He pulls away. I miss and fall into his lap. I support myself pushing up off him. His hand grabs my forearm not letting me go. He puts the bottle down his hand pinches my chin lifting my face to look at him. I glare at him however; he just smiles.

"No honey that answer changed the second you told me you could be pregnant with my child. You can try to run but I'll hunt you down." I feel my mouth hang open.

"I might not be, just as easily. Then what? Nothing has changed I will still be related to the Silverman's. I will still be the head of the Silver Serpents, and there are people still plotting to kill you." I argue back.

"Is that what this is all about?" He asks his eyebrow raised.
