Chapter 4

Pedro was curled up on the plush leather sofa, his body limp, his eyes bleary. Empty wine bottles were scattered around him, clear evidence of a night filled with booze. The lively and noisy atmosphere of the nightclub could no longer hold his attention. Only Anna's image continued to haunt him.

"Mr. Pedro, it's late. We should go home," said his assistant, a burly man named Carlos. "You've had too much to drink."

Pedro snorted, "I'm not satisfied yet." He reached for the remaining bottle of wine, trying to pour it into a glass, but his hands were shaking. "Anna... She has betrayed me. Why would she do that? What am I lacking?"

Carlos sighed, "Perhaps Miss Anna is jealous, sir. You've been too busy with Miss Richa lately."

"Jealous? She has no right to be jealous!" Pedro shouted, "I love her. I love her more than anyone else."

"Sir, perhaps you should be honest with Miss Anna. Tell her what happened. Maybe she will understand." Carlos tried to calm Pedro down.

"No," Pedro replied hoarsely, "Anna has changed. She'll just find an excuse to break up with me again. I can't do that. I can't lose her."

Pedro sobbed, covering his face with both hands. He remembered how Anna resisted and ignored him. He remembered how Anna left his house without a word. He was devastated.

"Sir, you need to calm down," Carlos said, "Don't think too much about it."

"How can I calm down?" Pedro shouted, "Anna... She is everything to me."

Suddenly, the door to the bar opened and in walked Gabriel with several bodyguards. He called out to Pedro sternly, "Pedro, where is Anna?"

Pedro was instantly enraged. He grabbed Gabriel firmly by the collar. "You! You have taken Anna from me!" He shouted with burning rage. "I will not give Anna to anyone. Anna is mine!"

"Let go of me, Pedro!" Gabriel tried to break Pedro's hold, "I won't let you hurt her anymore."

"I'll do anything to get Anna back!" Pedro shouted, "And about the child she's carrying, I don't care!"

"You're crazy!" Gabriel shouted, "Anna will never come back to you. She's tired of you. She's tired of your rude and selfish nature."

"You know nothing!" Pedro shouted, "I love Anna. I will prove it!"

"You have to tell me where Anna is!" Gabriel shouted, "Her condition is not good. Moreover, her pregnancy is very vulnerable. Anything can happen if Anna gets stressed."

"I won't tell!" Pedro shouted, "You have no right to know!"

Gabriel was furious. He punched Pedro, sending him flying. "If anything happens to Anna and her child, you'll be the one who regrets it!" Gabriel shouted, "You'll pay for what you've done!"

Gabriel's bodyguards rushed at Pedro and beat him up. Pedro was beaten unconscious. Carlos, who was still conscious, couldn't fight back as he was also hit to stop the fight. "Anna is in Mr. Pedro's house," Carlos shouted, "In Mr. Pedro's house!"

Quickly, Gabriel left the two men and headed for Anna's place.

Gabriel ransacked Pedro's house. He looked for Anna in every room. He was very worried. He was afraid that something bad had happened to Anna.

"Anna!" Gabriel shouted loudly, "Where are you?!"

Suddenly, he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. In the bathroom, he saw Anna lying on the floor, covered in blood.

"Anna!"
