Her secret

last update Last Updated: 2025-09-25 20:28:19

AUTHOR’S POV

Anastasia had locked herself in the bathroom. Petal was in a coma. Her hands trembled as she stared at them. They did it, hauled the vase, unbothered by the future.

“Pick up,” she hissed, tapping her screen aggressively. She had dropped a thousand messages, but as usual, Roman hadn’t replied.

A knock on the door startled her. “Anastasia, Maya is here. We have to go down,” Roland called out.

“In a minute,” she yelled, trying to get herself back in order. So far, the story was working in her favour. No one was thinking of foul play yet. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she was looking elegant, her lip gloss perfectly lined on her lips.

“Are you okay?” Roland asked.

“Just shaken,” she muttered. And, the fact that I may have as well killed your grandmother. But she didn’t say that. Couldn’t say it no matter how hard it slammed against her lips.

“She is going to be fine. Right now, we just have to make plans on what to do about the engagement party,” he muttered.

    SASHA’S POVNina sat by the corner, her eyes taking me in. There was no judgment, just pity and a few stray tears. “So, what you are saying is that after this event, you will run?”I sighed, leaning my head against the headboard, “I am not running…. I just think there is nothing here for me and staying in the same house as him is only going to…” I paused; lost on the word that I should have used.“I will find a nice place to stay and away from public eyes…. When the one year is done, we can go our separate ways,”Nina was sometimes too nice as much as she can be blunt. But tonight, it was looking like she was leaning closer into her sympathetic side.“What happened? Did Noah say something?” she asked.My breath hitched at the sound of his name. “No, I just think I need to have a few minutes to myself,”I needed more than just a few minutes alone. I needed a decade away from him, enough time to be able to pick up the pieces that Noah had shattered. All done unintentionally and now, I c

    NOAH’S POV“You have to get out of here man,” Troy groaned, glaring hard at me. “You can seriously think that I will let you hide in my home,” he hissed.I rolled over, hiding my head between the pillows, “Isn’t that what you wanted? To get me to my senses and then I can get Sasha out of my hair?”He laughed, “So successful, and yet so stupid. I only needed you to open your eyes to the fact that you have the best woman in the world and you are slowly going to lose her if you don’t act right,”“Well, I guess she wouldn’t care now, in just a few months I will be done with the Conrads and we can end our contact,” I muttered, my eyes widening as the words slipped out.“What contract?” Troy asked.Shit! There I go again, saying the things that I shouldn’t. But that was it, with Sasha it feels like my brain isn’t functioning and I just let out the words without actively thinking it through.“Forget I said anything,” I muttered, standing from the bed. But Troy wasn’t Sasha, he wasn’t going t

    AUTHOR’S POVThe grand structure of things had shifted, after Eleanor's not-so-unexpected visit. When things couldn’t get any stickier, Anastasia found herself yet again trapped in Petal’s study.“Care to tell me about someone?” Petal asked in a cold tone, her fingers lazily touching the file on the table.Anastasia’s eyes flickered, the crease between her eyebrows thickened, “What are you talking about?”Petal rose from the chair, her eyes narrowing hard on Anastasia, “I am in no mood for games. You give me the right answers and there will be no problem whatsoever,” she drawled out.Anastasia let out a long sigh, it was obvious that Eleanor must have said a few things to Petal about the money drama that had been happening for a while now. But then again, if Eleanor talked about it, then she should have been here, standing behind Petal like a parrot on a pirate’s shoulder, looking smug and proud of her actions.“Petal, I understand that Eleanor has come to you with some crazy assumpti

    SASHA’S POVTwo days later.I wasn’t sure if this was a game of peekaboo, because one minute I had him and the next I was literally running around trying to find him.Jade walked into the office, her usual smile fixed on her face, “You wanted to see me,” Her voice snapped me out of my daze.“Yes, sorry, what do you need?” I asked, my cheeks flushed, embarrassed at the way she had walked in on me.“Is everything okay? You don’t look…”“It is fine, I am just going through one of those days,” I said, waving my hand dismissively with an awkward smile plastered on my face.“Okay,” she replied, but she looked at me like she didn’t believe a word that came from my mouth. “What do you need from me?" she asked in a professional tone."Here, this is a sample design I want made, I just need you to go over it with the tech team and get back to me,”Her eyes glinted with something, her smile widening, “What about the other one?” she pointed to the one on the table.“This isn’t completed, just some

    NOAH’S POV“The only problem we are going to have, is the way you think you have the right to treat Sasha wrongly,” I snarled, eyes hardened fixed on Troy in a cold stare. I had been quiet, letting it go on for too long.Troy smirked, his eyes glinting with mischief, he was up to something, I could feel it but I wasn’t going to fall for his game. “Thought she is just a …” he paused, looking at me like he was thinking of the right words. “I don’t think that my actions towards her should weigh a ton,”He had left the bank space, letting my mind fill in what my subconscious was screaming for the longest.I wanted to rip my hair out. He was acting like a fucking high schooler trying to get a ruse out of his friend by teasing a girl. But this wasn’t high school, and I wasn’t going to hang here in the side of the garden arguing about feelings that had nothing to do with being said. When I have Sasha on the other side, smiling.“Fuck you,” I hissed, turning to walk away from him. This moment
