Because Anne was on her knees, Jack finally followed what Anne was doing. He knelt right in front of Anne. Slowly, Jack grabbed Anne's closed face with both hands and lifted her up to look at her face.

"Are you afraid of being hit?" Jack asked quietly.

​​

"Hmm." Anne replied briefly to Jack's words with a nod of her head.

"Who ever hit you?" Jack asked again, he was sure Anne had bad memories so she acted like that.

Instead of answering questions from Jack who was in front of her, Anne actually remembered what happened to her when she was eight years old, at which time she was pushed and beaten by her friends at church while serving on Sundays.

Anne's two eyes suddenly filled with tears as she saw what happened to her before. Seeing Anne almost cry made Jack panic. He quickly grabbed Anne's body and hugged her tightly.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't ask again. Assume I didn't say anything, Anne, don't think about it anymore," said Jack quickly as he tightened his hug to Anne.

Anne obeyed Jack's words not to cry, but her breath fluctuated to indicate that she was really trying to hold back her tears from coming out.

Jack who realized that then let go of his hug from Anne, he was sure that Anne was uncomfortable when hugged like that. After releasing his hug from Anne, Jack then smoothed Anne's disheveled hair and covered her face.

"It's okay, I'm sorry." Jack smiled softly as he apologized repeatedly to Anne who tried to calm down.

"Jack," Anne called softly.

"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Jack quickly.

"I'm thirsty," answered Anne shortly.

Jack smiled at Anne's words. He quickly got up from the floor and walked towards the pantry. Shortly thereafter he came back to where Anne was with a glass of water in his right hand, he then gave it to Anne carefully.

Anne then drank the water Jack gave her quickly. She drank the whole glass, as if she had just run a marathon. Seeing Anne finished the water he brought, made Jack smile. He then touched Anne's arms and asked her to get up because she felt uncomfortable kneeling like that on the floor.

"You whiny, you are so annoying. If you cry easily like this, then don't provoke someone's anger," Jack said quietly as he wiped the tears that managed to escape from Anne's defense.

"You were going to hit me, I'm afraid," said Anne briefly trying to defend herself.

"Who wants to hit you? I do not mean the slightest want to hit you," replied Jack honestly.

"B-but earlier your hand was lifted into the air, t-then your gaze was also very cold. I was afraid," said Anne quickly trying to remind Jack again what had happened before.

Jack raised an eyebrow when he heard Anne's words. He tried to understand Anne's words. Soon he smiled and shook his head.

"What I wanted to do earlier is this, Anne," Jack said quietly as he grabbed Anne's face and crushed her lips greedily. Anne, who never thought Jack would kiss her, was very surprised.

She tried to push Jack away, but her strength was incomparable to Jack's. Instead of being able to push Jack who didn't flinch at all, Anne was now even more locked up by Jack.

Because Jack's right leg was already between Anne's two thighs which suddenly made Anne completely unable to move because Jack had locked her like that, especially when Jack's left hand was gripping her waist firmly.

"J-Jaackk .."

Anne's voice trying to ask Jack to end the kiss did not work out, Jack really grabbed it on Anne's lips and tongue. He seemed to want to devour Anne without remainder, Jack finally ended his kiss when he saw Anne's flushed face.

"Haah hhaaahh y-you're bad," panted Anne fiercely, her lips swollen because Jack had sucked her hard.

"Remember one thing, Anne, I will not be repeating my words for a long time. I do not like you to accept another man in your apartment for any reason without my permission, especially if that person is Aaron Sean Connery.

Don't ask the reason why, obviously I don't like it. You're in touch with her. You understand Anne," Jack said coldly.

Thump!

Anne, who was looking down, immediately raised her face and looked at Jack without realizing it when Jack said the name Aaron.

"Do you understand, Anne?" Jack asked back.

"Yes, I know," answered Anne quickly without realizing it.

"Good girl," Jack said quickly as he gently touched Anne's red lips.

Anne, who was not fully aware and understood the meaning of Jack's words, still looked confused. She tried to re-digest the sentences that Jack had said one by one.

"You're mine, Anne," Jack whispered softly as he landed a kiss on Anne's cheek gently.

"Jack…"

***

In Jack's Bugatti Veyron, which was driving towards the flower shop, Anne said nothing. She was still confused by Jack's last words that she heard in the apartment. In fact, Anne wanted to ask Jack again with what he said earlier.

But Anne did not dare to discuss it again, she did not want to be kissed by Jack like that. Because earlier in the elevator when Anne mentioned about her being claimed to be Jack's, surprisingly and unexpectedly Jack pushed her back against the wall and almost kissed her again, but luckily another occupant got into the elevator. As a result Jack did not launch the action.

After driving for ten minutes, Jack finally arrived in front of Anne's flower shop. When he was opening his seat belt, he was surprised by Anne who immediately opened the car door and just left him.

"Thanks Jack, bye !!" Anne waved her hand at Jack then ran into the shop. What Anne was doing was as if she was driving Jack away.

Jack, who was still in the car, could only remain silent and could not do anything when he saw what Anne was doing. He realized that Anne was asking him to leave.

Because Jack still had a lot of work in the office, he finally left Anne's flower shop. He didn't want to bother Anne anymore today. Jack's personal bodyguard car also went after the master's car left. They immediately followed Jack from behind.

Anne, who was standing in front of her shop which was still locked, took a deep breath when she saw Jack leave. She was finally able to calm down because the person who was bothering her was no longer there.

"Anne, what are you doing?" Linda asked loudly, startling Anne.
