Ch. 1296..1300: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1296-1300

Chapter 1296

Anne remained frozen on the couch as she listened to the triplets muttering to one another outside the door.

“Is Mama not home?”

“Maybe Mama went out with Papa.”

“They didn’t say anything.”

“Let’s head downstairs for now!” The servant said.

Anne did not react.

The screen on the television was frozen in frame at the scene where. Lucas answered questions from reporters. After Mia left the room, Anne locked the door and had been still like a statue from that point onward.

Hayden’s phone rang and he answered hastily as soon as he saw the name on the screen. “Mr. Marwood.”

“Where’s Anne?”

“In the room.”

“She didn’t cause a scene?”

“She tried to go out this morning and fell down the stairs. She scratched her knee and I’ve ordered a maid to take care of the wound. After that, Mrs. Marwood just stayed in her room and kept the door locked,” Hayden said.

“She didn’t say a single word?” Anthony questioned coldly.

“No. Mia said that Mrs. Marwood did not say a single word and has only been sobbing while staring at the television.”

Anthony hung up furiously and thought to himself, ‘She knows that begging me won’t help, so she decides to hide in the room and cry?’

The end of the Pinnacle Academy was destined and nothing would have changed his mind. However, the fact that Anne fought him for the sake of another man had left his blood boiling with rage and murderous urges.

Anne fell asleep on the couch and sensed the temperature in the room dropping in her sleep. She shivered and opened her eyes, startled by the figure that appeared before her out of nowhere. She took one glance at Anthony, before leaning back against the couch with an exhausted look.

“Devastated?” He studied her face coldly.

Anne turned the television off and said, “No. Anthony Marwood, from now on, we… well, it doesn’t matter.”

He narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Say that again!”

Anne remained quiet and buried her face into her knees with her eyes closed.

She no longer wanted to think or bother and shut herself up in her own world.

“Look up,” Anthony commanded.

Anne did not waver and ignored him.

He grabbed her by the hair and pulled until she was forced to look up.

“Umph…” She whimpered, but her eyes remained cold and emotionless as though she was looking at a stranger.

“What gives you the courage to challenge me for Lucas’s sake?” Storm gathered in his eyes.

“How exactly did I challenge you? What have I done? I slept with you last night, didn’t I? Thinking about it now…disgusts me.” She chuckled bitterly with tears in her eyes.

Anthony jolted at her words. The look in his eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on her hair. “Disgust? Very well. I will make you regret that you said that!”

Chapter 1297

“What are you doing…ah!” Before she could finish, she had been flung onto the couch.

She paled when she realized what Anthony was about to do and he pressed up against her, his shadow looming over her.

Anne had a taste of what it felt like to rather be dead as Anthony showed her the consequences of saying those words.

Provoked, Anthony was determined to sooth the boiling rage within him with Anne’s screams.

The fact that Anne refused to obey had caused him to become increasingly agitated, and he would not stop until Anne obeyed and had eyes for no one but him.

He did not care what it took to achieve that goal.

In the end, Anne was sent into the hospital after Anthony’s relentless torture.

She woke up in the middle of night to find herself in the hospital.

Anne did not cry and simply stared at the ceiling dazedly, not even realizing it when someone entered the room.

Anthony sat by the bed and reached for her hand, but she immediately pulled her arm away.

“Still haven’t learnt?” He questioned coldly.

She did not respond and simply turned to stare at the window expressionlessly.

“Anne, fighting me won’t do you any good,” he warned her.

She still refused to speak.

“Are you mute or something?!” He tilted her face toward him and stared at her roughly.

Anne stared at him emotionlessly.

“Do you really think that I can’t do anything if you act like this?” He questioned viciously. “Should I carry on with what I was doing last night for you to give me some sort of reaction?”

Anne did not want to react, but her body instinctively began shaking like a lead.

Satisfied with her reaction, he pressed his lips against hers.

Anne was able to bear with it at first, but Anthony’s movements intensified as he tried to draw out more responses from her.

“Umph…” She bit down.

Anthony grunted, but did not let go and continued to devour her lips.

She panted and sobbed as she tore at his shirt.

Anthony let go and licked the blood on his lips. “Finally responding, are we?”

Just the look on the man’s face was enough to overwhelm her with fear even if he did nothing, not to mention his twisted, evil personality.

Tears scrolled down her eyes and disappeared into her hair.

“Once you recover, I will take you somewhere else so no one can disturb us. Hm?” He caressed her cheek and narrowed his eyes at the smooth sensation of her skin.

“You want to keep me locked up again, right?” She asked hoarsely.

“I need you to obey. If punishing you once isn’t enough, I will keep trying…until I am satisfied.” His eyes were filled with obsessive possessiveness.

Terrified, she trembled.

He planted a kiss on her quivering lips. “I’m not happy with your current performance. You are mine. You are only allowed to react to me.”

She remained frozen as he kissed her and panted as though she was at the brink of dying.

Throughout the following days in the hospital, Anne stayed in her own bubble and would not say a word even when Kathryn spoke to her, as though she did not eare if she was wounded.

Chapter 1298

Kathryn was baffled by Anne’s injuries.

Anthony would not beat Anne, but there was not one woman on earth who could bear such physical and mental torture.

Kathryn had known Anne for a time and was informed every time Anne was injured, so it was hard not to pity Anne at some point.

Kathryn sat down in her office, and heard a knock on the door, before someone barged in without permission. Stunned by the man before her, Kathryn stood and muttered, “Principal Newman?”

“I’m not a principal anymore.”

She was instantly rendered speechless.

What happened to the Pinnacle Academy had been reported on international news, so everyone around the world knew it.

“I know that Anne is in the hospital. How is she?” Lucas asked.

Kathryn realized at that very moment that Anne’s injury might be related to the Pinnacle Academy’s downfall.

Lucas had lost a lot of weight, which was reasonable for someone who had suffered as much as he did.

“I won’t let you see her. Anthony’s men are guarding the room so you will never be able to get in,” Kathryn said.

For someone Lucas’s size, the bodyguards would spot him from a distance.

Anthony had commanded that all injections were to be carried out by Kathryn herself and only certain nurses were allowed into the room. Even so, no one was allowed to wear surgical masks if they wished to enter the room.

The security was so strict that not even a fly would find its way inside.

“I don’t need to see her. I just want to talk to her on the phone. Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble,” Lucas said, “Doctor Brown, you are a doctor. Do you really not pity Anne for what Anthony has put her through? Besides, you’ve known Anne for a while now. Do you really want to watch as she suffers?”

Kathryn felt as though her mind had been read. “If Anthony finds out, both you and Anne will suffer.”

“Just lend her your phone. Anthony won’t find out.”

Kathryn began to waver. “Why would you call her? Do you have the means to help her?”

“I want to help her.”

Kathryn considered if agreeing to help was the right thing to do, it would mean that she was betraying Anthony, but at the same time, her heart ached for Anne.

Not only was she a doctor, she was also a woman.

“She ended up here because of me,” Lucas asked worriedly, “how is her injury?”

Kathryn did not want to discuss the private details with him and said, “I will hand my phone to her. Keep it brief.”

“Thank you.”

Soon, it was time for Anne to have her IV injection, so Kathryn went to Anne’s room with her phone.

The two were the only ones inside the room, while the bodyguards outside guarded the room dutifully.

Kathryn injected the solution into Anne and whispered, “Lucas Newman came to me.”

Anne jolted in shock and whispered hysterically, “Tell him to leave…”

If Anthony found out about it, the situation would only worsen.

“You can call Lucas using my phone,” Kathryn continued.

Anne was taken by surprise that Anthony’s personal doctor would help Lucas and shot Kathryn a suspicious look.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell Mr. Marwood. Just keep it brief and no one will know.” Kathryn took out her phone and handed it to Anne.

Anne accepted the phone and saw Lucas’ number already on the screen; one touch and she would be able to reach him.

“Hurry,” Kathryn urged.

Chapter 1299

Anne’s trembling finger landed on the screen and dialed the number.

Lucas picked up in no time. “Hello? Anne? Is that you? Anne…”

“Principal…” Tears welled in her eyes.

“What did Anthony do to you?”

She lowered her gaze at the back of her hand, not knowing how to begin describing the unspeakable things Anthony had done to her.

“I’m fine…h-how are you? Has the Pinnacle Academy really closed down?” She asked in tears.

“I’m going to give the academy up and leave Luton with my family. Anne, will you come with me?”

“What…?” Anne gaped. “You are giving up?”

“It’s not like I have a choice. It’s a good thing that I have connections in Canbridge so I can still make a living. Anne, as long as you are willing to leave with me, you can stay away from Anthony forever.”

Being able to stay away from Anthony was her deepest, darkest desire, but her heart raced in fear at the idea.

Every one of her attempts to run had ended in failure and she was not certain if she would succeed this time. If she failed once again, she could not bring herself to imagine the consequences.

“You just need to make the call. I will arrange everything else,” Lucas said.

“Principal Newman, I…I’ve already ruined your life, I can’t do this again,” she muttered in despair.

“I wouldn’t have asked you to call me if I really thought that. Honestly, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder without the Pinnacle Academy. That way, I can take you with me and leave without caring about anything else. My parents agreed to it as well, so don’t hesitate, Anne. I will never find peace if I leave you behind in Luton.”

Tears scrolled down Anne’s cheeks as she struggled, not knowing what to do.

“It’s okay. I can wait. Think it through,” Lucas consoled her gently. “This is your chance, Anne. Ask yourself if you really want to stay by Anthony’s side. Being the man that he is, he will keep mistreating you. As for the kids, like I’ve said before, the odd relationship between you and Anthony would only have negative effects on the kids.”

“I…I will think about it and call you.”

“Sure.”

Footsteps approached outside the room. Familiar with the pressuring presence, both Kathryn and Anne tensed.

Anthony opened the door and walked inside to find Anne leaning on the bedhead with her eyes closed, her face still as pale as a ghost.

Kathryn turned around and greeted, “Mr. Marwood.”

Anthony glanced through the bed and the IV-drip. “You’ve been here for a while.”

“Yes. I chatted with Mrs. Marwood for a while,” Kathryn said, “we talked about her condition and I tried to console her.”

“She’s not in that bad of a state.” He narrowed his eyes dangerously.

If Anne refused to obey, it simply meant that he had not punished her enough.

Anne clenched her fists underneath the blanket as she trembled.

As a doctor, Kathryn had no authority in front of Anthony except for when it came to doing her job, so she nodded slightly and left the room.

The bed sank and Anne knew that Anthony had sat down by the bed without having to open her eyes as his powerful aura could not be mistaken.

He stared at her intently without a word and Anne’s breath hitched.

Realizing that it would be odd for her to pretend like she was asleep, she opened her eyes and jolted when she met Anthony’s eyes.

 

Chapter 1300

“How do you feel?” He reached for her hand.

Her freezing hand was warmed by the temperature on his palm, but her heart remained frozen as though it had been placed in the middle of a snowstorm.

“Better,” she said weakly with her head bowed.

“I will help apply your ointment later at night.”

She shook, but knew that she had no choice, if Anthony said that he was going to do it, he would.

The bed inside the room was specially made, so Anthony would spend every night with Anne in bed like they did at home.

Anne lied flat and tensed when Anthony got into bed, terrified that Anthony would decide to torture her again.

Fear had planted its root deep within her and she could not fight it.

Not only had Anthony got into bed, he moved her head to rest on his chest and held her close, while Anne tried her best to stay still.

After spending four days in the hospital, Anne was allowed to leave.

She had not contacted Lucas again, but had decided to keep him informed once she made her decision.

Anthony brought her to a mansion in the mountains. Anne had never been there before, but had heard that Anthony had over a hundred properties in Luton alone.

He was the very definition of what it meant to be filthy rich.

The mansion was the only property in the area with beautiful sceneries and a lake nearby, so no one would come to disturb them.

Anne instantly started looking sick as soon as she arrived when she realized that Anthony was fulfilling his promise to lock her up somewhere else.

She had thought that he would lock her in the apartment again, but since Lucas had been there, Anthony would not give another man any chance to get close to her.

“Do you

like it?” Anthony walked closer to wrap his arm around her waist and stared down at her.

“How long do I have to stay here?” She asked.

“Until I say so.” He pressed his lips against hers roughly.

She held her breath and instinctively propped her hands against his chest to shove

him away.

“Put them down,” he commanded with his lips pressed against the corner of her mouth.

Her fingers twitched at the command and she put them down as he commanded.

Anthony pressed on her back so that she would fall into his arms without giving her the chance to fight him.

“Are you shaking? Hm?” He asked as he devoured her lips as though he was determined to swallow her whole.

“I’ve…just recovered.” Anne was terrified.

Anthony was a beast and she could not survive him over and over again.

“You won’t know until you try.”

She was shaking like a leaf at this point as tears filled her eyes. “Anthony, I will be good. Please…”

“I’m not satisfied.” He bit down on her neck and licked the bitemark he left with content while listening to her whimpers.

He proceeded to pick her up and went into the elevator.

The elevator was installed on the outside of the mansion so that one would see the lake as they reached the higher floors.

Anne was in no mood to admire the view and simply held onto Anthony’s shirt with both her hands as she pleaded, “Anthony…”

By the time Anne woke up again, it was the next morning.

Anthony was gone and seemed to have left a while ago.
