Chapter: 006: Meeting EleanorAnastasia's POV Leon picked me up at exactly noon the next day and I had spent the entire morning trying on every outfit I owned before settling on a simple navy blue dress that looked somewhat presentable. My hands would not stop shaking and I checked my reflection in the mirror at least twenty times.When his black Mercedes pulled up in front of the bakery, I took a deep breath and walked outside. Leon got out and opened the passenger door for me like we were actually dating and not two people who had signed a business contract yesterday."You look nice," he said as I slid into the passenger seat."Thank you." I smoothed down my dress and tried not to think about how expensive his car was or how out of place I felt in it.The drive to the Hart estate took forty minutes and Leon spent most of it going over the cover story. We met at a charity event four months ago and hit it off immediately. I owned a bakery called Sweet Seasons. He thought I was beautiful and smart. We had been dat

Chapter: 005: A deal with the devilAnastasia's POV I did not sleep at all the night before meeting Leon.I kept tossing and turning on the old couch in my tiny apartment and thinking about what he could possibly want to discuss. He said he wanted to help me but nothing in life was free and especially not from billionaires, much less from rejected ex boyfriends. There had to be a catch and I spent hours trying to figure out what it could be.By the time morning came I looked even worse than before and the dark circles under my eyes had gotten darker. I put on the nicest outfit I owned which was not saying much. It was a simple black dress that I used to wear to church before I stopped going. I tried to do something with my hair but gave up and just pulled it back in a ponytail.The café on Fourth Street was one of those expensive places with marble tables and chandeliers and a menu that did not list prices because if you had to ask, you could not afford it. I felt completely out of place in my cheap dress and worn shoe

Chapter: 004: The boy she rejectedLeon's POV I did not want to be here.My grandmother had called me three times in the span of ten minutes while I was in a meeting with potential investors. When Eleanor Hart called three times, you answered or faced the consequences. The consequences usually involved guilt trips about how she was getting older and how I never had time for her anymore."Leon, darling, I need cinnamon rolls," she had said when I finally picked up."Grandmother, I'm in the middle of something important.""More important than your dying grandmother's last wish? If you had found love and gotten married like I wished all this time, maybe your wife would've kept me company and I wouldn't die of loneliness!"She was not dying and we both knew it but I had learned years ago that arguing with her was pointless. "What did you say you needed?""Cinnamon rolls. It doesn't matter where you get them from. Just get me some."I had no idea why she suddenly wanted to have pastries, but I agreed to buy them because it

Chapter: 003: Moving onAnastasia's POV I drove aimlessly around town after listening to the voicemail. My hands would not stop shaking on the steering wheel. Every red light felt like torture because it gave me time to think and thinking was the last thing I wanted to do right now.I called my best friend Sara three times before she answered. I really needed someone."Ana? Where are you? Why do you sound like you're crying?" Sara said and I could hear the concern in her voice."I need to come over," I managed to say and my voice cracked. "Can I come over?""Of course, get here now. Are you okay to drive?""I'm already on my way.""Ana, what happened?"I could not get the words out because if I started talking I would start crying again and I was barely holding myself together as it was. "I'll tell you when I get there."Twenty minutes later I was standing outside Sara's door. I could not even knock because my hands were shaking too badly. The door opened anyway and Sara stood there in her pajamas with her

Chapter: 002: Three yearsAnastasia's POV For a second, nobody moved.Lucas stood there with coffee dripping down his face and chest, his mouth hanging open in shock. Jennifer froze on the bed with the sheet clutched to her chest and her eyes went wide. I stared at my empty hand, at the coffee cup that had slipped from my fingers and landed on the floor with a thud.I could not believe what I just did.But I had no single regret about it. It was just too bad the coffee was no longer piping hot. Watching Lucas stand there so smug and cruel, listening to him call me boring and simple like I was nothing, I was certainly not going to swallow that insult.Lucas wiped coffee from his eyes as his face turned red. "You crazy bitch!"His voice snapped me out of my shock and I took a step back. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears."I'm calling the police," Lucas said as he grabbed his phone from the nightstand. "You just assaulted me and I'm going to have you arrested."I should have been scared at

Chapter: 001: The perfect lieAnastasia's POV I heard them before I saw them.The sounds coming from my bedroom made my stomach drop and I stood frozen in the hallway of my own apartment. I was holding a box of gingerbread cookies in one hand and a cup of latte in the other, listening to sounds of very intense moans coming from the other side of my bedroom door.For a second, I tried to convince myself nothing could be wrong. Maybe Lucas was watching porn or maybe there was some other reasonable explanation for the sounds of a woman moaning in my bedroom at three in the afternoon.But it didn't really sound like a movie though.I closed my shop early today to surprise my husband Lucas because things had been quite bad between us for months. We barely speak anymore and when we do, every conversation feels like walking on broken glass. I thought maybe if I did something sweet, something that reminded him of when we were happy, we could fix it. So I spent two hours baking his favorite gingerbread cookies, the ones I
