Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE TylerAnastasia stands in front of me in blue skinny jeans and a white top, with a surprised expression on her face. Her hair is tied at the top of her head into a ponytail, and the lower curled part is now resting on one of her shoulders. Her lips part slightly, immediately bringing my attention to them.Since that night, I haven't stopped thinking about her plump lips and the way they moved in synchronization with mine. Her body fitted in my hand exactly like the right piece of the puzzle sticks at the right place.I pull my hands out of my pocket and step closer to her. As though she is fixed to her position, looking directly into my eyes. When Madelyn, my assistant, told me that a woman named 'Anastasia ' came to meet me, I knew right then and there who it was. I am not saying that no one other than her with the same name could come to meet me, but I was having a feeling that it was her. Now here she is, my beloved wife.She clears her throat softly and looks down. Her fingers in

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR ANASTASIA'S POV"You got drunk?!" Nessa shrieks, drawing attention towards our table. She looks at me wide-eyed, grinding her jaw. I told her everything all over again along with the way I felt and what happened on Saturday night, which I remember nothing of."I know. But the worst part is, I don't remember anything after that." I say in a hushed voice. Her mouth falls open."Woah. How much did you drink?""I don't know. I just kept drinking and drinking, and after that, everything was blurry." I must have been seriously drunk. Otherwise, I don't usually have this effect."Shit! Did you talk to Tyler after that?""Nooo! He has been ignoring me since Saturday morning. I just remember seeing him on Sunday morning when I was throwing up in my room. He helped me, gave me some pills, and left. I haven't seen him since. Even last night, he had dinner in his room. I don't know what's going on..." I say and look down at the cup in my hands. I bring one finger and run it along the rim. I didn'

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY THREEANASTASIA’S POV Groaning, I sit up on the bed. My head is pounding like ten heavy rocks have been stacked on top of it.My eyes stay squeezed shut because the sunlight burns. I bring both palms to my face and tilt my head down toward my lap. Suddenly, a sharp wave of nausea twists my stomach, bile rushing up my throat. I throw the covers off my legs and hurry to the bathroom. Lifting the toilet seat, I kneel and empty my stomach into the bowl. I'm still puking when I hear someone enter the bathroom.Two hands sweep my hair away from my face, holding it back gently as Tyler murmurs, “It’s okay. It’s okay.” One of his hands rubs slow circles on my back while the other keeps my hair out of the way. I don’t want him to see me like this—weak and miserable.When I’m finally done, I slump back against the bathtub. I open my eyes to see Tyler at the sink, wetting a towel. He kneels in front of me and wipes my face and mouth.“I can do it,” I croak, taking the towel from his hand. After clean

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY TWOTYLER’S POV I haven't been home since the morning. I needed some time away. Knowing that I have to come home and have dinner with the person who hates me with every bone of her body, I preferred eating outside. Although I am not going to eat out every day, I will figure out a way to ignore her. It's best for both of us. No one interferes in each other's life. It's not like I never controlled myself in times of need, without anyone. I can do that this time too. I don't need anyone.It's already past eleven. I know it's late. Mrs. Smith must be gone already. Normally, on days when I come home late, Mrs. Smith remains gone.As I enter the house, I find the living room dimly lit. It's usually dark. Frowning, I walk in looking around. Are there any chances that Anastasia is still up, waiting for me? Why would she? Shaking off the thought, I walk towards the centre of the room. Mrs. Smith must have left the lights on for me. On reaching the couch, I drop my co

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY ONE ANASTASIA’S POV He stomps past me and slams his bedroom door shut before I can say anything. I guess I really have nothing left to say. I stare at the closed wooden door, letting the events of the morning replay in my mind.Yes, I broke down in front of Tyler, and yes, I didn’t want it to happen. But can I blame him? He was genuinely trying to comfort me—the way I had tried to comfort him. He never forced me to say a word. I did it of my own free will. He opened his heart to me, shared his pain, and let me hold him. And I can’t deny that I wanted him to. Now that he’s doing the same, why can’t I let him?Just as I’m about to step toward Tyler’s room, Nate’s face flashes through my mind along with all the promises I made—one being that I would never let myself get attached to anyone. And yet here I am, more than attached to Tyler. Besides, if I go in now, I have to remember that Tyler wants to help me. I’m the reason Nate isn’t alive. I don’t deserve anyone’s comfort.I spin around on

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY TYLER’S POV "What do you mean?" she frowns, confusion clouding her features. Way to act, Anastasia. Her eyes are red and swollen, tear stains still clear on her rosy cheeks. The tip of her nose, her ears—everything is red. She’s been crying. And the fact that it might be because of me makes it even worse. "Why aren't you at work?" I ask, my tone clipped and serious. There I was, thinking we were finally getting along, trying to be understanding. Then she goes and does this?! What is she running from? Why can’t she just accept things and move on? She blinks at me, registering my words before saying, "And I’m supposed to answer you?" She crosses her arms, scowling. Oh, she wants to do this now? Fine. "Yes," I answer, mimicking her posture. My glare holds hers—steady, intense. Beneath the anger, disappointment burns deeper. Knowing she still doesn’t trust me, not even a little, stings more than I’d ever admit. It hurts. Badly. "Why so?" she challenges. "Because I’m your husband.
