An Innocent Heart Longing For Love

"Jacob, let go of me." Anna struggled in Jacob's grasp.

After the hot conversation, Jacob's mind was in chaos, he didn't give a damn for Anna's protest. He picked the soup and tried to feed her.

Anna shoved his hands away which was inching closer to her mouth. Jacob tried his best to contain his anger that might explode any minute that's when he heard Anna's words.

She hissed, "No man ever had the audacity to touch me. How dare you lay your hands on me."

Jacob raised his eyebrows, "pfttt... Really?! Does that include your precious ex-husband too?"

'Is he laughing at me? Should I punch him hard until his nose bleed? And what is with that ex-husband thing. I am not yet done with the divorcing procedure.'

Anna scorned, "Shane is not a pervert like you. He is a complete gentleman. He never laid even a single finger on me. And also listen well, I am not yet divorced. So stop calling him my ex. Don't you dare to take advantage of me given my circ.u.mstances."

Jacob pressed his lips and tried his best not to laugh at her, his eyes flickered, "Looks like that moron got no interest on you from the very beginning. Mmm... Interesting..."

He continued, "But that's not the point. The most interesting fact is that I stitched your wounds and dressed them with the bandages. And also I cleaned all the bloodstains remained on your precious skin. What more, I even stripped open your wedding gown and dressed you up with my most favorite shirt. Do you like it?"

Jacob winked at Anna as he finished his comment, "And that's how a pervert talks. Happy now?!"

"You STRIPPED OPEN my wedding gown?" The night fury in Anna woke up from its long slumber. It's been a long while that Anna let it out from its cage.

"Why? Do you want to keep it?" Jacob asked her innocently.

A series of punches landed on Jacob's left-hand shoulder.

Jacob continued to smile at the little kitty act, he suggested Anna, "Your punches are too weak. Have some food. Then you can punch me as hard and strong as you can."

"Jacob, I am warning you for the last time. Don't touch me. Let go of me."

Even before Anna could finish her sentence, Jacob freed his hands which was holding Anna's shoulders.

Anna did not expect Jacob to take his hands that quickly. She was not at all steady and her body was still weak for her to act quickly to grab something to steady herself.

Before Anna's back ought to touch the ground, Jacob caught her and steadied her.

He then looked into her eyes and cautioned her firmly, "This is what your body conditions are. So, better stop acting tough and get along for a while."

Jacob pointing at the food he cooked, he said, "I made a soup for your recovery, drink it. You have quite a strength to argue. So, I think you can also eat meat. Try a few bites. So that you can hit me harder next time."

Anna brooded instead, "Did you see everything? I mean..." 

Jacob gave her a steely gaze and replied, "You were soaked in a blood bath. Do you think I would be l.u.s.ting over you when you are dying? How lowly do you think of me as."

"Oh... Was it that bad?" Anna stammered.

"You sure are one lucky duck. Eat the food while it's hot. I can not guarantee the taste." Jacob motioned Anna to bring the soup that he was holding near her mouth.

Anna struggled to accept her defeat so fast. She momentarily stared at the soup and took a sip. 

The moment the soup touched her taste buds, Anna spit it out, "Oowww... Are you trying to kill me. What the hell is that."
