Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

"I hate people that pretend to be deaf when I talk!" Liam fumed.

Anna could feel his boiling rage. She opened her eyes instinctively, staring at him with equally wrathful eyes.

"If you hate it so much, you can always choose to leave!"

She could not understand Liam at all. If he hated her so much, why would he not leave her alone!

While Anna did appreciate the care and concern he showed her, she still could not stand his insufferably arrogant attitude. He always acted as if she owed him the world! Liam gazed at Anna's beautiful eyes. They were still as clear as water despite the tinges of red that remained. Seeing her eyes brought him remorse.

"Can you see now?"

Anna quickly shut her eyes. "No, not at all!"

An odd feeling of joy emerged in his heart. His expression softened and his tone turned warmer. "It's good that you can see now."

Anna covered her ears. "I can't see. I can't see. My eyes hurt..."

She could not believe that brute would tear away her bandages in a fit of rage! He was lucky that he did not damage her eyes; otherwise, she would never forgive him!

"Your eyes hurt? Is it because there's no medication on it?" Liam quickly let go of Anna and hastened out the room to call for a nurse.

Anna blinked her eyes confusedly when she saw Liam turning into a completely different person. She wondered if there was something mentally wrong with him. How else could he switch personalities so abruptly?

A nurse hurried into the room. She applied some medication and wrapped new bandages around Anna's eyes.

"Ms. Hamilton, your eyes are still healing. Please don't remove the bandages as it can damage your eyes and prevent them from healing properly."

Anna lifted her head and searched for Liam's approximate location. Then, she said in a loud tone," Understood! I definitely won't let anyone tear out the bandages on my eyes again!

"If I turn blind, I'll..." Anna ground her teeth. She sounded as if she yearned to skin Liam alive. "I'll come for you even in my grave!"

Liam's expression turned dark. "It'd be even better if you're laying in your grave right now!"

The nurse turned her head toward Liam. The icy expression on his face made her tremble in fear. She hung her head low and made a hasty escape with her medicine tray in hand. Liam's dark expression was petrifying!

Anna reached out to grab the nurse, but all she could grab was air.

She grinded her teeth in anger. "You scared her away!"

Liam turned to Anna, who was laying on the hospital bed. A sinister smile appeared on his face. He went to the room door, opened it, then closed it again. Having done that, he quietly went to the chair in front of Anna's bed and sat down.

Anna listened carefully to the silence that surrounded her. She did not hear a peep, and so assumed that Liam had left. She then let out a long sigh of relief.

Anna wanted to lie down and rest, but she could not shake the feeling that a pair of eyes were staring at her. She slowly pulled apart the bandage around her eyes, creating a tiny gap for her to scan the room. When she saw Liam sitting right in front of her, she gasped in surprise. She quickly rearranged her bandages and pretended as if she did not see a thing. She felt her bed with her hands and lied down. Liam's thin lips curled up playfully. 'What is this little lady trying to play at?'

He smirked, then cleared his throat.

"Huh? Why are you still here!"

Liam's grin grew even wider. He went along with it. In his low and attractive voice, he exclaimed, "I'm hungry. Why isn't your food here yet? It's already so late!"

"It's three in the afternoon! Who eats dinner at a time like this?" Anna rolled her eyes.

"How did you know it's three o'clock?"

Anna staggered. She ground her teeth silently. "Oh, I asked the nurse for the time when she came in just now."

"How come I didn't I hear you ask?"

"You have bad hearing!"

Liam lifted his brows. "Oh? So that's why. I thought that..."

Liam dragged his words out intentionally. She could clearly hear his snickers between his words.

"What did you think? Huh? Get out already! I want to rest."

Anna tugged at her blanket and lay on her side, afraid that Liam might realize something.

Liam chuckled as he gazed at the woman filled with guilt. He patted her head and went to the door, opening and closing it again.

Anna left out a sigh of relief. She wiggled out of her blanket and gently pulled down her bandages to check if Liam had actually left. Her beautiful eyes widened abruptly. "Ah..."

Anna yelped when her eyes met Liam's sneering black eyes. She burrowed back into her blanket. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. 'Why is he still here?

'What does he want from me?

'Why won't he stop teasing me!'

Anna panicked. She hid under her blanket, pressing her lips tightly together, not knowing what to do next.

Liam's grin turned even more sinister. He sauntered to her bed. "Come out."

Anna froze. She did not make a sound, nor did she move.

"Come out!"

Anna still did not move. Her hands gripped tightly onto the edges of the blanket.

Liam chuckled helplessly. "If you don't come out, I'm gonna go in."

As he said that, Anna felt a large hand reaching into the bottom of her blanket and grabbing onto her smooth and slender ankle.

Anna's body tensed up. She retracted her legs, tore away her blanket, and sat upright.

She pulled down the loose bandages around her eyes and glared furiously at Liam with her beautiful, clear eyes.

Liam's heart skipped a beat when he gazed at her cheeks that had reddened from rage and her tantalizing eyes that shone as bright as stars. "Done pretending?"

Anna angrily pouted her lips and turned her head away, ignoring the man.

"When did you regain your vision?" Liam asked.

"It's none of your business!"

Anna resented him. 'Why can't you just leave me alone! I

"Then whose business is it? Byran? Or perhaps Chloe?" Liam mocked in a displeased tone.

Anna glared at him. She ground her teeth and yelled word by word, "None. Of. Your. Business!

"Mmm..."

His overbearing kiss landed on her petite mouth, sucking hard on her pink and moist lips.

He sucked away all the air in her mouth until a red tinge appeared on her fair and beautiful face. Only then did he let go and uttered in a deep voice. "Say that again!"

Anna panted heavily. As her chest heaved, the fullness hidden beneath her loose hospital robe became slightly visible. Liam felt his throat run dry.

Liam could not fathom how this little lady could so easily evoke such a strong desire in him.

Anna regained some composure. The moment she opened her mouth to speak, Liam interrupted, "I should warn you to think carefully before you speak. Otherwise..." Anna held her breath and widened her eyes, which as beautiful as a rippling river in autumn. "You..."

"Alright, I can tolerate that answer."

'What answer? Can't his mind stop jumping here and there so quickly?'

Liam crossed his arms, loftily gazing at her flushed face. His lips curled up into a wicked smirk.

Anna pressed together her lips which were hurting from his violent kiss. She turned away, knowing that it was wiser to not fight when the odds were against her. She endured it, thinking he would stop if she kept silent.

Liam gazed at the angered lady as he reached out and stroked her soft hair. "Looks like kissing you is the only way to tame you."

Having said that, Liam leaned in again.
