A/N- i know i haven't had any reviews for this story...I'm hoping to get some, please review guys.


I shook it off and walked inside sitting at the opposite end from Carter and starting the meal, I ignored all conversations going on and when I finished I slipped from the table and left to our room, I shed my clothes and climbed in bed hoping I would fall asleep quickly and not have to deal with Carter.

Unfortunately, when carter arrived home from his business I was awake and he noticed, I shifted in the bed to the far side when he climbed in.

"Talk to me!" he said, I could here the order behind the comment no matter how much he tried to hide it. I ignored him, until I felt myself moving across the bed and not of my own free will.

"What now you want to talk a week later! What I said didn't matter when it all occurred but now you want it" I snapped trying to escape his hold.

"Shut up and listen!' he growled

I stopped moving and tried to hide the hurt I was feeling, I thought I had covered it pretty well but as soon as I looked at him I knew it wasn't working and that he could see right through me.

"I don't understand your behavior; you ignore me, disobey me, and look at other men! Attack my clients!" he hissed

"I ignore you like you did me, I disobey you because I don't see why I should follow you like a pup when you don't pay any attention at all and I only attacked you client because he tried to pull moves on me!" I shifted from his grip violently and climbed out of bed.

"When you know what I'm saying and you want to apologize I'll be with Emi" I grabbed a few things and left to Emi's room in the home out back.

CARTERS POV

She left the room and I fell back on the bed, she was right I hadn't listened but I was not one for apologies, my anger boiled over when I saw her slap Antonio and I let it rule me believing him over her. The truth was I was slightly scared that things would crash down around me like they had with Monica; betrayal was one thing I didn't tolerate, jealousy was one of my traits I couldn't change it.

Morning came and I had breakfast…alone, Ana had been gone all night and not returned to the house once, Emilia had taken breakfast out to the back home. I decided to go about business and talk to Antonio about the delivery, Ana was a situation I would deal with later, perhaps talk to Emilia about what I could do to make it up to her.

"Antonio, I have everything drawn up, you will be at this location at this time. Failure to be there will result in the ceasing of you merchandise and closure of the deal." I said handing him a piece of paper.

"Done, tomorrow it is" he replied, I glared at his back. I had thought about the whole situation over breakfast and the more I looked at it the more I saw what he was doing when Ana tried to defend herself, slimy bastard.

"And Antonio, you cross me or touch my woman again and I'll do more than take your merchandise, perhaps you value your life." I hissed angrily, his eyes grew wide and I snarled. I put him up against the wall my hand around his throat, squeezing it.

"Do not betray me and do not touch what is NOT nor EVER will be yours" I dropped him to the floor and stalked out of the room before I killed him. Jealousy was one of the worst things I had, but when it came to Ana nobody was exempt from my anger.

I walked out the back of the house seething with anger, not only had I damaged the relationship with the one woman I had come to love, but I had made a business deal with the man who fed her to the sharks and tried to have her.

"I knew I'd find you here" I said as she sat on the edge of the pool, it had become very clear that she spent her time at the pool when upset.

"Want a medal or a chest to pin it on?" she snapped, I tried to contain my anger…with out any luck.

"Do not talk to me like that; I have no time for disrespectful women who are not concerned with listening to what's being said!" I yelled, she didn't flinch or move at all just sat there staring at the water.

"You have to give respect to earn it carter, I miss having you around and having our playful verbal matches, I don't bow down to ass holes" she slipped past me and into the house. I clenched and unclenched my fists, Emilia was watching and I called her over.

"Emilia, I have to let her know…well…and still let her see that I still control her" I stumbled for the words how did I tell the cook and close friend of Ana that I wanted to do something to apologize something to show her I do care.

"Dinner, only you two, don't lavish her with gifts. She wants YOU not money and trinkets. I'll prepare a meal and tell the other two to go out tonight" she smiled and walked off


NORMAL POV

I walked down stairs, freshly changed and expecting another quiet and lonely night, I looked around the dining area and saw candles, two seats set up and a rose sitting on the table. I jumped slightly when two arms surrounded my waist, a touch I had not felt for a week and a touch I missed so badly. Regardless of how angry I was I couldn't help but sink into his embrace and relish in the feel of being in his arms again.
