The Johnson family didn't allow any of their members to live outside the compound. So when Monroe wanted to bring Anna over, he had no choice but to keep her at home.
A few days ago, he noticed bruises and other marks on Anna's body. He couldn't believe she could get hurt like that just living a normal life.
He asked her about it, but she didn't say a word. Today, he left work early on purpose to check on her. Sure enough, he saw things he wasn't supposed to see.
"Why are you bullying Anna?" Monroe asked as he picked her up. Seeing how weak she looked, he felt so heartbroken.
Nobody answered. Monroe already knew what was going on. He snorted and said, "I get it. Grandpa told you to do this, right? You just do whatever Grandpa says. Who runs this family—"
Before he could finish, Anna quickly put her hand over his mouth. "No, Monroe. Don't say that."
Monroe looked at her and felt even worse. He carried her back to the room. When he saw the purple bruises where they'd pinched her, he felt like he wanted to kill them.
Anna said, "I'm okay, Monroe. It's my fault. If I hadn't made that request earlier, you wouldn't have been in this mess."
Monroe said, "Don't say that. I like you. I was the one who started all this. It hurts me so much that you had to go through this because of me."
Anna smiled and shook her head. "No matter what Grandpa and the others do, it won't change how I feel about you. Anna, if it weren't for you, I would have died on the street. You saved me," Monroe said.
Anna's expression shifted. She'd known Monroe for a long time but never realized she saved him. Not many guys chased Anna because she looked sickly and had been publicly with Lionel for a while.
But Monroe was different. He quietly looked out for her and treated her well. When Anna was about to get engaged to Lionel, Monroe even cried. He called her late at night, and she could tell he was drunk.
Back then, Anna didn't think much about it. She just thought it was nice someone liked her. She figured it was because she was charming. But today, he told her she saved him.
Monroe said, "That day, if you hadn't seen my car crash and pulled me out, I almost died. Anna, I will never forget that day.
"You were still young, maybe eighteen. I was waiting for you to grow up. I was sad when I saw you getting close to Lionel.
"But now, it's really good. You're finally with me. I'll protect you, I promise. Trust me, okay?"
Anna remembered. She did remember. But back then, she thought it was Stella who saved Monroe. Stella didn't part ways with him until the emergency doctor arrived.
Anna even thought to herself, 'Stella's an idiot. How could she just jump in like that? Isn't she scared someone will sue her?'
Anna thought that was ridiculous. But it turned out Monroe didn't like her. He liked someone who looked like her, because she and Stella looked alike.
But that was okay. She accepted the mistake. Since she needed a place like this, she was willing to let the mistake stand. Anna lay in his arms and said, "You said you'd take me to a dinner party the day after tomorrow. Is that true?"
Monroe said, "Of course it's true. I have to take you. I want everyone to know you're mine. Over time, Grandpa will accept you. Anna, I'm sorry you've had to suffer because of me."
Anna shook her head with a gentle smile. "No, Monroe. I'm happy you took me in. I won't let you down." Monroe bent down and kissed her.
