Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 155 - Anna's New Boyfriend

"Aren't you going back home? It's been more than a day now," a male voice said watching Anna who was busy with the plate of ice cream on the table before her.

"I don't want to see them," Anna replied unhappy that she was made to remember home when she was trying to forget.

"If you are throwing tantrums over getting rejected, I think you should forget about everything and go back home. You can't be angry with your family forever. Remember that the selection is not over and you will get a chance to get accepted and if you still don't get accepted, you can try any other university in Star city," he advices her calmly.

Anna pouted as she stared at the ice cream for a few seconds. That was the only advice that made sense. She knew she might not be lucky to get accepted again so the only option was for her to try any other university or high learning institute in Star city.

The Royal University was the best university in the kingdom and one of the best in the world but it was not the only university in star city. She was already pissed off by them and she was slowly beginning to hate the school.

She decided to try another university. She did not mind choosing a university in B city after all the selection period was not over. She sighed thoughtfully. She was angry with her sister and friend and in order to satisfy her anger, she got up with a determined look.

"I will stay here in B city," she finally accepted her fate. She also accepted what was her fact that her friends did not want her anymore and her sister hated her now because she dislike the man she dated.

"Are you going to be okay staying away from Rose?" he asked worriedly taking her now empty plate of ice cream and replaced it with full plate of chocolate ice cream.

"Thanks. Rose hates us being together and since we are now back together, I see no reason why I shouldn't be okay to be away from her," Anna replied before taking a full spoon of ice cream into her mouth to calm her very angry heart.

"What makes you think that way?"

"She said you are behind all the bad things that happened to me and around me," Anna answered carelessly. When she turned to see the shocked expression he wore, she shook her head apologetically and tried to pacify him, "I did not believe her."

"What if I did it?" he asked looking away from her like he was very unhappy to be made a suspect of crimes he never considered commiting.

"Don't worry I know you did not do anything bad. Rose said that because she hates you and she probably doesn't want us to be together. Debby also hates me now. You are the only person who cares," Anna replied sincerely.

She felt so hurt and alone because of what happened during the past few days but staying with him, helped her forget them all.

"No matter what, I think you should go back home. They will be worried and the ball is right at the corner," he reminded her.

"I know. I will go back home so I can choose some other university. I hope I don't apply too late or I will lose everything. I want you to be my date to the ball, okay?" Anna asked hopefully.

"Sure. If that that is what you want," he immediately agreed with a smile.

"Thank you," Anna said as she threw her hands around his neck and hugged him.

"Where are you coming from?"  Rose asked standing up when Anna walked in. She was annoyed after being made to worry so much over Anna. She had called everyone including Liam and asked him to help her find her sister.

He simply told her her sister was fine with her new boyfriend and that did not do any good in making her relax. She got annoyed with him for giving her that answer and more annoyed when she tried to ask him for a clearer answer and he refused.

It further annoyed her when her sister walked in with a few shopping bags and a smile that spoke of how she must have had the time of her life out there with the new boyfriend.

"I went shopping," Anna replied in a careless tone as she gave the bag to Joyce who have been waiting with Rose for a few hours now.

"What? And you got us all worried. I can't understand what you were buying that took you more than a day to buy," Rose told her. She really did not like the scolding angry mum she was turning into because of her sister.

"Oh that? I was with my boyfriend. When can I get my dress for the ball?"

Rose took a deep breath and decided to be as calm as she can be. She shouldn't lose her cool. "You will get it as soon as Eric brings them. You got us all worried. Try to tell us you won't be returning early next time, okay?"

"Sure," Anna said complicatedly. She was shocked that her sister wasn't going to keep scolding her. Surprisingly, that which was supposed to make her happy, made her feel sad and uncared-for. Her lips twitched when she watched Rose sit down on the sofa she stood up from earlier and relax visibly.

She waited a few seconds for Rose to talk but when she said nothing more, she scoffed before stamping her feet away to the elevator.

"She just wants attention," Rose murmured as she watched her sister's angry leaving back. Since it was a new boyfriend and not the teacher, she tried to relax although she could not just seem to find peace.

Groaning, she got up and found her way to the swimming pool.

"Wow! You look gorgeous," a male deep voice told harmoniously as she stood in front of the mirror in closet.

"Thanks," she answered without turning to look at the person. "All my friends have their dates. I think I am the only person left. Will you be my date?"

"Sure," he replied immediately without a second thought.

She did not miss the excitement in his voice and she immediately felt guilty. "I was only joking." She agreed to go with Eric.
