42 THE CONFRONTATION
“Davis,” Anna said with a nervous chuckle. “What are you doing here?” she asked,
How did he find me here? Did he follow me from home? But why?
“Is there a reason why I can’t be here?” he asked with a sweet smile before looking at Glovanni who had an amused smile on his face. “The one who shouldn’t be here, with my wife, is you,”
“Your wife?” Giovanni chuckled.
The waiter arrived at their table. “You called for me, sir.”
“I don’t think I’ll be needing anything yet,” Giovanni informed him before dismissing him. He then turned to Davis who had his cold eyes that were filled with anger and hatred, “I already know you two aren’t truly married so you might want to drop the act,” he told him.
“Why don’t you take a seat?” Anna asked, the tension in the room making her uncomfortable, “I don’t know what’s going on between you two but you two can talk it out.”
Davis turned to her with a piercing glare. “I thought I told you to stay away from him so why are you meeting him at night?” he asked.
Technically, it’s still evening. She kept mute, not knowing what to say.
“If she won’t answer you then I will,” Giovanni sat up straight. “Your darling wife invited me to dinner. At first, I thought she wanted to spend some time with me, but it turns out it was so she could ask questions about you.”
“Of all the people you could ask, you asked him?” Davis scoffed.
Anna’s lips curled downwards into a frown. “Who else am I supposed to ask? Paul, who’ll never tell me anything or you who has repeatedly refused to tell me about yourself? You know everything about you, but I know absolutely nothing, yet you’re complaining I’m sourcing information about you from others-”
- ni. I can’t
She stood up from her seat. ” Just so you know, this won’t be the last time I meet leave and pretend to love a total stranger. I’m not asking you to tell me everytliing about your life, I just want you to tell me what I need to know as your wife.”
Davis looked away from her. “It’s just a fake marriage, why do you want to know so much about me?”
וויד
She shook her head and turned to Giovanni. “I’m sorry our dinner was interrupted. Next time, treat you to dinner at a place of your choice. I’ll be taking my leave now,” she told him and turned to Davis, “If you won’t tell me, I’ll find out myself.”
“You got yourself a feisty one,” Giovanni chuckled as he watched Anna leave. “I like her.”
Davis sat in Anna’s seat and started directly at Giovanni. “What do you want with Anna?” he questioned dangerously.

Giovanni leaned back in his seat, a dreamy look on his face. “Oh, I want so many things with her. I could tell you in detail if you want to know. First, I want to slowly take-”
“Don’t even think about it!” Davis snapped.
2/3
Giovanni raised a brow. “Oh? Do you care about her or am I mistaken?” he chuckled loudly, amused by the anger on Davis’s face.
Since when did he start to care for women? I thought he didn’t care about her, but seeing his reaction
This is going to be interesting.
“Think whatever you want to, but steer clear of Anna. She’s currently Mrs Solorante and I won’t let you tarnish my reputation through her,” Davis threatened him.
“I don’t buy your crap but don’t worry about it. You see, women like her who have been starved of love all their lives are easy to get. Care for them a bit and show they can rely on you, and bam!” he exclaimed in a low tone so as not to attract attention, “you’ve won them over. But don’t worry about it, I won’t let it get out when I finally get her in my bed.”
“Shut. Up,” Davis told Giovanni and stood up from the chair with a smile. “Why don’t we take this elsewhere so we can discuss it properly?”
Giovanni nodded. “If you say so.”
They both exited the restaurant. “Follow my car or you can be the coward you are and run, Davis
told Giovanni as he entered his car.
Giovanni scoffed, a frown on his face. “What is there to run from?” he said as he got into his car as
well, following behind Davis as he led them away from the city till they arrived at the outskirts that was deserted.
Davis stopped his car and got down from it and Giovanni did the same. “And why exactly are we here?” Giovanni asked. “You’re not planning to kill me, are you?”
Davis brought out a gun from his back pocket and pointed it at Giovanni whose face darkened. You’re not seriously planning to kill me, are you?”
“I don’t see a problem with that,” Davis said, “After all, I’ll just be cleaning up trash led to clean up properly in the past.”
“Trash?” Giovanni asked, his voice falling to a low baritone. “You’re much more than I am, Davis, so don’t go playing Angel now.”
Davis chuckled unhumorous, “Oh, I know I’m no Angel, but you’re a total devil, Giovanni. You made my life miserable all those years ago and now you’re back to do the same thing?” he questioned.
“Miserable? You-”
“I’m not done speaking,” Davis snapped and when Giovanni kept quiet, he continued. “You took away my source of joy and made those around me suffer, and now you’re here to do the same again. Anna is innocent, yet you’re dragging her into our feud because of your amusement? You’ve become
