Chapter 7 A Crazy Wish 

(Anj‘s POV) 

My brain must be on haywire. 

Like taking my medicine, after drinking Appletini, I feel dizzy but in a really good way. I felt lighter and free and had the courage to do everything I wanted. This gorgeous Greek god must have used his magic spell on me that I just kept on following everything he said. I heard he told Frank to bring us to the nearest coffee shop, but I didn‘t want to get sane yet. He was driving us somewhere when my eyes caught a glimpse of a place I had never been to before.

Please...” When the driver finally listened to me and stopped the car, I didn‘t wait for him. I unfastened my seatbelt and got out of the car, dashing toward the beach, ignoring the handsome man running after me. 

I could hear Mrs. Antonetta‘s voice telling me to do something crazy once in a while. I was not up for it but seeing the full moon looming large and glowing brightly in a beautiful night sky, I could not help myself fall in love with it.

He heaved a deep sigh. “You‘re eighteen, yet you act like a child.” 

I only smiled at him, tilting my head to look at the time on his wristwatch. It is only ten in the evening, and I will be seventeen in two hours, or maybe Sister Grace is wrong. My birthday is probably today or yesterday. The thought of not knowing when the exact day or time my mother gave birth to me brought tears to my eyes

I wish I could tell him, but I am profoundly gifted, a child that could read well at the age of three, that I had to be accelerated, skipping grade levels in school. At the age of twelve, I passed the university entrance examination, but because of the limited budget, despite my full scholarship, I chose a business course instead of medicine. Surrounded

My lips parted as my eyes saw him not wearing anything except for his boxers. What is happening with me? My heart was erratically pounding inside my chest as my eyes feasted on his sexy body. It must be the alcohol because suddenly, I desired to touch his bare chest, a feeling so alien to me. “No. Why are you still here?” I asked curiously, turning my back on him and moving forward,
