Anastasia: A silly crush, that's all it took to ruin my entire life because here I was four years later with no family but the man I gave everything up for, the man who now wanted nothing to do with me, the man who was madly in love with someone else, and the sad part of it was I brought a human in it, a human who had to suffer because of my mistake. Well, enough was enough. It was time to reclaim my position and give my daughter a better life, with or without him, but definitely without him, and he wouldn't just walk free; he would pay for every tear my daughter and I shed. William: The marriage was never supposed to happen; she tricked me into it; she ruined my chance at love because now I had to marry her whether I liked it or not. I never loved her, and I did everything to make sure she experienced hell on earth, but when she proposed divorce, I panicked; my heart skipped a beat for the first time in four years. I was afraid to lose her; I couldn't let her go. I had to fight for her; I had to win her back. I couldn't let another man take her and my daughter from me. I had to save my family.
View More~WILLIAM~It was already six in the evening in Kingston when Vivi called, but hearing it, I couldn't help but want to be there for her, and no, it wasn't weird anymore; I knew I loved her, and the only reason I was feeling discomfort now was knowing that Ana was in pain.Not wasting time, I informed Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who offered to drive me to the nearest airport. It was an hour's drive, and while we were on the road, I booked a first-class ticket. We got there on time as the flight took off.On the plane I was just thinking about Ana; the relationship she had with her father was like none other. I knew that because I once asked Martinez why he disowned her publicly but still cared for her, I even remember when Ana asked for a divorce, I threatened to pull out, but he didn't care; his daughter was more important than business.Well, he told me to take good care of her after disowning her; he checked on her regularly, and I kept telling him she was fine even when I
WASHINGTON, SEATTLE 2022~ANASTASIA~It's been exactly one hour, twenty-three minutes, and seventeen seconds since the doctors declared my father dead. I haven't said a word; I have nothing to say.Trey, Santiago, Vivi, and even Carmen were all worried about me; they were standing in front of me speaking about me like I wasn't even here. They all tried to talk to me, but none received a response. My father is gone… he is dead.I couldn't believe it. I mean, when Mom died, she gave us each five minutes to speak to her, five minutes to be with her. Trust me, those five minutes were worth it. I think I only got better because of the encouraging words she said to me… because of the smile I saw her go with, but Dad?… I wasn't even there when he took his last breath.I honestly don't know if I'll be sane for long because this was my father, the only person I relied on for everything… the only man who gave me the world, the one who brought me into the world.Wh
NEW YORK, KINGSTON 2022~WILLIAM~When I told Anastasia I was okay with just being her friend, that we could just co-parent, I lied; I wanted to win her the right way, and Harriot advised this was the right way—not pushing my apology—giving her little space.I wanted to leave that night as I had Jimena to deal with; after I caught her that time ordering a fake belly, I still didn't believe it was a friend’s, and after hearing the conversation between her mom, wanting to lie to me that she was sick, I wanted to be near her so I could investigate her as I was starting to doubt her pregnancy. Well, Ana stopped me, and I thought maybe it was a chance to show her my changed self, that's why I stayed and made sure she got the contract.I truly didn't care that she was carrying Hudson's child; I had hope that we would get back together… she never loved him after all, but I was wrong because even with all my niceness, Ana still didn't fall for me.I kept it cool when we
My eyes wandered around the apartment until they fell on a computer. I walked to it, and it seemed she was just using it as the screen was on. Then I saw she was booking a flight for Georgia, although it seemed she was unsure as there were also other tabs of her checking out Texas.I turned to her, searching for an explanation; she wasn't even scared or anything; she was just silently staring at me as if this was normal.“Ahh!” Gabriella screamed so loud that it got my attention, Dahlia was trying to get the bullet.“Put dark tape on her mouth; we don't want the neighbors to get suspicious,” I instructed Dahlia, who quickly got the tape and placed it on Gabriella's mouth. “Now you…” I turned toward Maddison, tucking my gun behind my waistband before dragging the small table closer and sitting on it, facing her. “I guess whoever hired you told you about me, right?” I asked, and she was still just staring at me without a word.I didn't like it, especially the fact that
~HUDSON~ I didn’t expect Ana to show up at our apartment; I thought she was still processing what Daniella told her. That’s why I asked my team to come here, as I was not in a state to go to the company or Rowan’s since that’s where we were now mostly doing this. I was pacing, scratching my head, cursing as the pain in my chest got unbearable. Shit, now I truly messed up. What was I going to do? How was I going to face her now? “I don’t understand, why didn’t you show her the footage?” Gabriella asked, and everyone else nodded, agreeing with her question. “Yes, she could have seen that it wasn’t your fault.” Rowan agreed. I ran my hand over my mouth, exhaling slowly. I couldn’t lose it now; I needed a second to think. I walked to the window and scratched the back of my head as I placed my thoughts together; now there was no lying to her anymore; she knew, and it was going to take time for her to understa
I was so confused. Why was Hudson and his crew having a photo of my mother? I mean, knowing what Daniella told me, a lot was running through my mind right now.I started moving backward while Hudson raised his hands in the air, saying he could explain; my eyes darted between his people, who rather looked calm as they were now both standing in one place, silently watching.“Please breathe, take a seat, let me… let me explain,” Hudson said, but I shook my head and asked him not to move; then, in a swift move, I snatched the photo from the table and then turned and rushed out with my driver holding the door open for me.When I reached the car, I didn’t wait for my driver to open the door for me as I let myself in and in understanding he joined me and asked where I wanted to go, I told him to take me home.Tears were streaming down my face; my heart was now beating fast. I didn’t want to think about it, but I couldn’t help it. The only reason Hudson had my mom's picture
I was in shock. I never expected Vivi to go to such lengths to frame Harriot, and I never expected Harriot to cheat, either. After Vivi narrated everything, from the cameras to hiring her brother's man, Matt, I mean, she told me Hudson didn’t know about it, but I doubted that. Well, I didn’t know what to do. Harriot was my friend, and sure, cheating on Vivi was not cool, but I had to hear his reasons first.I told Vivi I had to hear Harriot out, as she planned to keep him there for five years, and then she would do everything in her power to get him out, like releasing the original intentional footage of Harriot being drugged; she had it, but she wanted to teach him a lesson.Now, when I told Vivi I had to hear Harriot out, she reminded me of why I had to hear Hudson out, too, so I promised I would give her brother a chance to explain as well—even though deep down, I knew nothing he would say would change the fact that he was a criminal.After Vivi got back to work,
Okay, this was crazy. If there's anyone I trusted the most, it's Harriot. He was loyal and definitely never took advantage of anyone, especially his patients. I asked Jimena if she was sure, and she said she was sure.“I had an affair with him; how else do you think I got the information about you?”“What information?” Daniella jumped like a maniac, “Tell me and I'll pay you a thousand dollars, cash now.”“Wait, what? Who are you, and what makes you think Jimena takes bribes?”“Fifty, just name your prize.” Daniella, who was in pain a few minutes ago, was suddenly fine, as she seemed rather more interested in my secrets.“Okay, first of all, I am here because I need to protect my millions. I'm Mrs. Rogers; I have a card with no limit, and if I tell you, then my deal with Anastasia would go off, and I need her more than the millions, so nah, no price.”“Oh, I will get it out of you, one way or another; you obviously don't know who I am,” Daniella said before t
I didn't get what she was doing here until she showed me a pregnancy test. Looking at the purple, I quickly recognized it; I took it a few months ago when I was still living with William.I tried to deny it, but when she mentioned Harriot, I panicked. Harriot was my doctor, and he was the first to know about the pregnancy, but my question was, why did he tell her?She then went ahead and told me she had all the reports; she got them from Harriot. She was even threatening to call William if I would be difficult. She asked me to choose whether I would speak to her or William. Well, she was better off, so I agreed to speak to her.We went to my office, and there she shocked me by asking for a job.“I want to be your model.”“What? Why?”“Well, first off, I'm a model, and being your model means my career is back; you'll also be paying me a big fat check, so…”“We both know money is not what you're after.”“You're right; if I work for you, the media will s
WASHINGTON, SEATTLE 2022~ANASTASIA~Most stories open up in pleasant settings, but mine started in a prison cell. Never did I imagine I’d end up here, especially for the man I loved. God, life is unpredictable!I was staring at the dirty ceiling, watching the spiders scurry around. How had I ended up here? Then I heard a voice, snapping me back to reality.“Mrs. Rogers?” A guard's voice snapped me back to reality. “You're going home,” she said as she unlocked the cell. A smile tugged at my li-ps. Finally, I was going home—my husband was here for me. I had feared he’d forgotten about me.A few months ago, he had begged me to take the blame for hitting someone while speeding. “You’re just a housewife; it won’t affect you,” he’d said. He promised to pick me up when I got out.As we walked to the reception, my heart sank. The man waiting for me wasn’t my husband. My bail had been paid by someone else. “Of course, it’s not him,” I muttered under my breath.The officer asked if something...
