A few days passed. 

The day when her family was coming to the South has arrived. She did not invite them at all, but when they heard the news of her engagement, they had to fly up here. 

Her mother was the most worried. about her because she knew that this was only Chris's doing. They all had asked Chris if he wanted to announce their relationship earlier and he had declined it but all of the sudden, they were almost receiving the shock that their daughter was getting engaged.

Wearing a long coat, Anna's eyes were covered with black sunglasses. Her hands were tucked inside her pocket as the fur of her bodyguards stood behind her. 

They all were assigned to her by none other than Chris himself. He was afraid that his enemies would aim for her now.

Her lips were sealed as her eyes saw two helicopters landing down on the large ground. She was present at the airport in the South of Zuak land.

Her long hair was flowing in the wind as her mother and father got out of one helicopter, along with her grandparents in the other another helicopter.

For a moment, Anna felt her heart being warmed up which has been bent like a stone for so many days!

"Mom" Anna stepped forward as she and Marrie hugged each other too tightly. This waste logging of so many days being apart from each other. 

"I miss you, Anna."

"I miss you to mom, but don't worry now that you are finally here, we will spend most of the time we can together!" Anna replied to her but Marrie was still worried as she looked at her daughter's face. 

After looking at her face, and making sure that she is fine, Marrie sighed in relief. They have been away for so long, and as a mother, she has always been protective of her daughter, after her son's death.

But at that point, she did not wish to speak anything because many people were present.

Her father came from behind and patted her head, "Anna how have you been?" 

"As usual. What can Chris do more? Nothing happened more than being hospitalized once when Sierra came out." Anna had her sarcastic tone ready. 

Till now, she hasn't forgiven her father because this was all happening because of him. If he had not taken a liking towards Chris, she won't have stuck at this place!

A pang of guilt flashed in his eyes but he covered it up quickly, "Hmm... We have a lot to talk about." 

But Anna ignored him and faced her grandparents who stood behind. Breaking her embrace from her parents, she went and hugged her grandmother and grandfather. 

She knew that they know why she is here, but somewhere, they are still unknown to the discovery she has made in Zuak Land, and she has no intention to tell them.

"Princess, is it me or I find my granddaughter looking too mature in just two weeks?"

"It's because you haven't worn your spectacles!" Anna commented as Grandmother Sarah was a little relaxed as she saw the smile on her granddaughter's face.

But only the ladies were able to see that this smile of hers was temporary. 

They had no idea that she was living in misery for so long and no one was there to comfort her even for once!

"Anna.. you could have called us and told us what Chris did. But, you suddenly said yes to his request?" Liam asked from behind as her body stuffed hearing his question. 

She did not wish to answer him and her reluctance was sensed by everyone. Instead, grandmother spoke, "Give her time. We have just landed. Let us relax first and then have family talks, right Anna?" Anna passed her an assuring smile as they touched her face lightly.

The family made their way to their respective cars. Three cars were waiting for them. One for Anna and another for two couples. As Anna sat inside, her mind was now taking a troll over many things.

'They will surely ask many questions from me.' she was well aware of this face from their face, a series of questions can be detected too easily. They all were looking forward to the perfect timings to go one with their investigations of questions but was Anna ready?

Looking at her phone, she saw that there were no calls or messages from the certain. It has already been four days since they had a fight at the top of the mountains but Alex hasn't answered her yet.

For a few reasons, her heart was constantly uneasy but she had no choice because this way, their relationship will be distant and he can at least move on from her.

But who will tell them that it was already breaking her heart? It was becoming more and more difficult for her to continue living like this. 

Diverting her mind from Alex, Anna looked at the scenery as she had no idea about what her parents are going to ask her about in the next few hours.

Soon, they all reached the Steve mansion. As it was big enough for all of them to stay.

Klara has even pestered the families to stay together because this will help them in bonding. She even insisted to bring Alex here but thank goodness that David denied this option.

Otherwise, she was afraid that this will result in another abruptness in the family because of her.

Anna got down from her car as she went back to where her parents were. 

"Hmm, Steve's mansion is quite big. The preparations here are happening at high speed." Marrie commented while screening the surroundings.

"Yes! What can you expect the enlarged Chris and his excited mom, Klara Steve to do? Of course, they want to show off as much as they can." Anna was irked by seeing the celebrations. 

Her heartfelt no gentleness anymore. 

Grandmother came forward and spoke, "Don't worry. This all is fine because I know my princess and the heir of the Walker family deserves this!" 

This made her remember that she wasn't simply Anna anymore but also the heir of the Walker family. But commenting on this was something she was least interested in. Instead, Anna changed the topic and brought them all inside the mansion where Klara and David were waiting for them.

"Welcome to the South of Zuak Land, everyone. We are pleased to see you all here." David warmly welcomed but Liam showed no emotions like before because of what their son has done, he can't be warm with them anymore. 

On his behalf, grandfather walker took the lead here, "Thank you but please don't consider it to be any formality. Our granddaughters are getting engaged so of course, we all needed to be present here."

Grandfather Walker made it clear that this wasn't any type of formality. they all were here because their princess was getting engaged as David felt a little awkward.

In his eyes, it was always as if the groom's side had to be a little more authority but he forgot who his inlaw was here this time. they won't take his nonsense anymore and his dominating nature because they were too an authoritative family.

"Susure sure! Anna is more like your daughter. Calling her a daughter in law is a just formality. Please, make yourself feel at home."

"We might do that. But I need to have a few talks with you and your son along with Anna. You see your son had suddenly taken a drastic step which is a huge blow to all of us." Liam spoke after a long time of staying silent.

His words were clearly showing that he wasn't pleased with what Chris had done. David was also feeling nervous because Walkers were always like this, having a strong aura around them.

"Y..yeah! Klara, why don't you show them their room? They have come from so far, let them rest." David excused himself and pushed all the responsibilities on Klara who nodded her head.

She was a puppet of her husband, always following what David says.

But before that, Marrie interfered between them as she looked at Anna and grandmother Walker. Giving them a look, she answered all of them, "I would like to spend some time with my daughter and see what she is wearing. Rather, I'm not even feeling tired! Elder Madam Walker, will you like to come with us?"

"Of course! This is my princess's engagement. You men go and take some rest, I and Marrie will go in Anna's room." She supported Marrie's sentence but only Anna knew what they wanted to talk about. 

She took them to her room, where they sat on her bed and looked at Anna with suspicion in her eyes.

Feeling their constant stare, Anna bluntly asked, "What it is?!"

"Anna, you start speaking about everything that happened in a few days! Why did you accept Chris's request for getting engaged?!"
