AUTHOR'S POV
Staring in the distance, Ana's mind had been travelling to all sort of memories. ' You shouldn't have done this, Angel! ' That's what, Beast said that night. He called her with nickname Angel and a week ago, at the cemetry, Damon Alvarado called her by the same name. Was the really a coincidence? Her head had been pounding.What was happening? She couldn't understand. This Beast was getting inside her mind and was not letting her think anything else.That day, she just excused herself from Damon Alvarado, feeling extremely scared, but when she thought about it again, her mind refused to suspect him as Beast.AUTHOR'S POVShock was the only emotion, she could feel, as she watched blood drip down from the slit in that man's throat. She couldn't even move from her place, watching the blood rush out.It was that moment, when you feel your blood run cold and you are unable to move or do anything. All thoughts cease to exist.Still in shock, Ana's eyes traced the hand, which held the bloodied dagger. The same dagger, that was snatched away from her... The same dagger, which was used to slit the throat of the man, who was asking her for help...Her eyes travelled up from that arm to the face of th
AUTHOR'S POVWaking up, Ana felt a sharp pain in her neck. It felt like something pricked her neck. Shaking her head to get her mind out of the haze, she pushed the duvets away and sat up in the bed. Intinctively, her eyes went to the balcony door, which was closed, like she did last night and the curtains were also pulled over. Sighing, she felt relieved.Closing her eyes and resting her head against the headboard, she thought back to what happened last night. Damon Alvarado's face flashed in front of her eyes and she felt scared again. The way his eyes were emotionless after killing that man, made it clear, that it was not his first time and he was already used to it. She knew it
AUTHOR'S POVWorld seemed to come to an end, hearing what William Adams just said. She felt like her ears were ringing and her heart beat was getting slower with breaths coming out in slow motion. Her hands froze by her side, along with her eyes that were fixed at the table. “ Do you have any objection to this arangement Anastasia? ” William Adams's voice bought her out of her shock phase and she looked up; slowly and painfully.Staring at her own father, she observed his expressions. He was not really asking if she had any objections, he was just forcing everything upon her. He just wanted an answer, which must be Yes and raising an objection, was not even an option. Maybe, he was giving her a false choice to just show off in front of Damon Alvarado.
AUTHOR'S POVThe day came. The day when William Adams was going to officially engage Ana to Jackson.Willaim Adams didn't even waste one day and held the party just one day after breaking the news to Ana. It was a masquerade ball and thankfully Ana was going to wear a mask. This party was not held because of some trend. This party was themed to be a Masquerade Ball to keep the identities of people attending the party hidden. It was necessary, as many underworld Mafias were going to attend the party today. A special secret code card was required to come inside the mansion. The security was also on high alert, as William Adams suspected that Beast will come today.
AUTHOR'S POVAna looked around herself and noticed William Adams - her father talking with some man at her right corner. Gulping down her saliva, Ana clenched her hands into fists and started towards him after mentally preparing herself to say the same lines, she had practiced earlier in her mind.William Adams was wearing a black mask over his face, but what made him stand out the most in the whole room was the W embroided in black and gold on the pocket of his suit's jacket.As William Adams saw Anastasia approaching him, he excused himself from the leader of Tiger Clan and went towards Ana, who looked worried judging from the lines stretched across her forehead and her lips set in thin line.
AUTHOR'S POVRushing to her room, Ana started unzipping her dress. Getting her body out of it, she ran to the dressing room and grabbed casual clothes before wearing them hurriedly.Sighing, she tied her hairs in a ponytail. Her hands were trembling due to anticipation and fear. Taking some deep breaths to calm herself down, she went back inside the room and grabbed her phone from the side table before opening the Jordan's chat. She had texted him in the morning but he was not replying and his phone too was turned off which was causing Ana a headache.Placing the phone in her pocket, she grabbed the bag pack from under the bed which she had prepared earlier.Running
AUTHOR'S POVDarkness - Complete darkness that made her feel like she was blind.Her heart was still beating faster as the muscles of her shoulders burned more than all parts of her body.Her arms were stretched and chained on the wall behind her forcing her to sit on her knees. It felt like if she would move, her arms were going to detach from her body. Her knees were bruised from sitting in this position for God knows how long.What a funny and flop escape! Ana shooked her head chuckling to herself and hissed when she felt the muscles in her shoulders getting pulled again. Feeling the pain all over her body again - the pain she thoug
AUTHOR'S POVEverything happened as expected. After almost dying due to the unbearable and excrutiating pain, Ana gave up. Jackson untied her and stood at the side placing the blade down with his hand and his white shirt covered in her blood.As he stepped away from her, she tried to get up but fell down on her scrapped knees. Her head was spinning and everything was blurry. Her throat felt like it was on fire. Her arms were bleeding excessively and the pain was making her tremble.Without saying anything, Jackson sat down beside her on his toes and placed his hand behind her waist pulling her up with him. Placing his other hand under her knees, he carried her effortlessly.
