"Anna!" called the deep and soft bass voice making Annastacia turn to the right.

"Ohh ... hi, Doctor John. Do you have an operation scheduled today?" Anna looked at John flatly. Her heart was still breaking to tell him the bad developments about her relationship with JC. "Nothing. I was especially looking for you, Honey," the man replied.

John's hands grabbed Anna's body in his arms. He missed after a few days they were separated and got a report of Anna's absence at the hospital for 3 days which made him feel confused about where Anna had disappeared. "John can we just talk in the cafeteria over lunch? It just so happens that it's past noon," Anna suggested because it was unsightly to be seen being intimate with John by her colleagues at the hospital.

"Sure. Come on," John said and took Anna's hand towards the elevator to the 5th floor, where the cafeteria was.

When they were in the elevator they just stared at each other without speaking. After ordering the lunch menu, the two of them sat in the corner of the hospital cafeteria.

"Is there something you want to tell me, Anna?" fishing rod for John who was sitting next to Anna's chair.

"John, I hope you will be lenient if I tell you about my departure since 3 days ago," Anna started while watching John's reaction.

The man wore an expressionless calm look. He wanted to know himself from Anna's mouth, what happened. "Just say it, Anna, I hear you," he said.

"JC kidnapped me from the apartment 3 days ago. He took me to Greece and married me there in front of the priest. Now, what are you going to do to me, John? Do you want to end our relationship?" said Anna. She had resigned herself to whatever John decided for her.

John's face suddenly soured, he didn't think the popular male artist would carry out his threat the last time they fought. JC marrying Anna suddenly was beyond John's expectations.

"No, Anna, I think you should call off your marriage to that man. We can make our relationship legally the state of Grenada as soon as possible. Are you willing to marry me, Anna?" John replied not wanting to give up.

Anna was shocked to hear John's answer which was the opposite of what she thought. However, marrying 2 men never crossed her mind.

"I-a--I'm ... confused, John," Anna stammered, her tongue stuck.

When the cafeteria waitress came to deliver the menus for the two of them, Anna turned her face to the side. She held back the tears that had welled up in her eyes.

After the waiter left them both, John stood up and hugged Anna's body until Anna's head fell on his ribs. The woman sobbed in John's arms.

"Let go of all your sadness, Anna. I'm here to hold you to strengthen you. We face everything together," said John patiently stroking the top of Anna's head.

After she was satisfied with crying, Anna lifted her head and looked up at John's face. "John, what should we do now? Is it possible for me to marry you again? My marriage to JC also has an official letter from the Catholic church in Fira," Anna asked.

John clenched his jaw, he was excruciatingly annoyed. He didn't want to give in to the fiancé thief. While Anna still has feelings for him, he must marry Anna as soon as possible.

"We need to get married as soon as possible, Anna. I'll talk about our wedding preparations with my dad and your dad," John replied confidently. He then sat back down next to Anna.

"Okay, John. I'm afraid my papa and mama will replace out about my marriage to JC which happened without their blessing. It will hurt their feelings as my parents. I hope you won't tell my papa, John," Anna pleaded to hold John's hand. "Calm down, Anna. Trust me, I'll clean up the mess that the artist caused. Is there anything else I don't know about, Anna?" said John trying to keep Anna honest.

They both began to eat their lunch menu so as not to get cold.

"Ehm... actually there is a bigger problem than this, John," said Anna clearing her throat and stopping eating. She put her fork and knife on the plate, her appetite seemed to evaporate suddenly when she remembered the exciting videos and intimate photos of her with JC.

"What's that?" said John as he continued to eat.

"JC filmed our one-night stand scene the night I was drunk at the hotel at Jocy and Max's party," Anna said in a low voice so only the two of them could hear.

Hearing Anna's words, the man choked and then coughed. Immediately, Anna patted John's back to relieve his cough.

John looked at Anna's face with mixed emotions more dominant to anger. "That artist I want to shoot with my gun! Does that mean he's been threatening you all this time, Anna?" he growled.

With a heavy heart, Anna nodded her head. "He threatened to put it on a Dennery city billboard if I didn't do what he wanted," Anna replied languidly.

The man groaned as he brushed the hair on his head in frustration. "Why did you just tell me, Anna?! Are you afraid I'll be mad at you?" asked John.

Anna nodded her head once again at John.

"You don't need to be afraid of me, Anna. For me, you are my true love, I will never leave you for whatever it is even if the artist does many things that defame you," comforted John as he cupped Anna's face with both palms and looked at Anna's face.

"Thanks for your understanding, John. Now I'm relieved that I've told you all my secrets," replied Anna, giving John a sweet smile.

The two of them continued to eat lunch until finished and then returned to their respective practice. Anna went down to the ER section while John went up to the 8th floor of the Oncology section.

***

It turned out that John and Anna's wedding preparations were not as simple as they thought because there were many guests, colleagues, and acquaintances of the Baldere family to invite. The wedding ceremony became a large-scale event. Even though the Brighton family did not have a long list of guests, they followed the wishes of their high status in Grenada society.

Annastacia and John had a wedding dress fitting session at Bridal Lily Callas. The white wedding dress was very luxurious with an off-shoulder model and a wide skirt that stretched from the waistline to the floor. Anna looked like a princess from a fairy tale when she wore it.

With an adoring gaze, John approached Anna who was standing in the middle of the fitting room surrounded by wide mirrors. He was wearing a silver-gray tuxedo with an elegant bow tie which made him look very handsome and dashing. "You look amazingly beautiful, Anna," said John as he wrapped his arms around Anna's waist.

"Thank you, John. You are also very charming in that tuxedo," replied Anna, smiling, tilting her head to look at John's face.

The bridal owner clapped for the bride and groom. "You guys are very compatible, I hope the wedding goes smoothly," said Madam Theresia Vivaldi approaching John and Anna. "Thank you, Mrs. Vivaldi," John replied politely.

The bridal party also kept the pair of wedding clothes back until the wedding ceremony arrived. The plan is that the event will be held in 2 weeks.
