Chapter 21

• Anya's Point of View
• "Not now, Anya, not now,"Marcus angrily said as I entered his office. I bowed down and bit my lip. I felt suffocated. What is happening to him? I haven't even done anything, yet he gets angry right away. It's been a week since Tiffany and I had a fight, and Marcus was in a foul mood the following day. I know he has been stressed and bombarded with the rogues' past attacks, but I am always here next to him. He can ask me for help, and I would gladly do it. Is this what Tiffany is saying? Or maybe I'm just paranoid.
• "I would like to ask what food you want for later so I can tell Aunt Rosa what to cook,"I told him with a smile. He looked at me for a moment but immediately returned to work with the papers and documents he's holding.
