UNKNOWN POV
"He's travelling to London very soon, looking for someone to buy Raddison corp". My younger brother, Jordan informs me."Hmmm". I smile, a mischievious one. "He's falling right into our trap, i see"."You mean my trap". Jordan rolls his eyes at me. "Cause all you do is sit in here sipping very expensive wine from very expensive glasses".We are currently in my penthouse and Jordan hates coming here, he says it puts him on an edge and makes him unnecessarily angry. Why? Simply because i have her pictures all over, in the sitting room, my bedroom, my dressing room, and other places, I mean everywhere."She dosen't deserve you brother". Jordan speaks up after a minute of silently sulking like a child. "She's not worth your time and attention, heck, she's not even worth all the risk you are taking for her"."What risk"? I ask perplexed. "I've never considered anything i do for her a risk, everything i do is to show my love and affection. Even in the past everything i did was for her own benefit, even though i always got hurt in the process".Jordan raises his hands up in disbelief and drops them by his side again. "Here we are about to spend billions to buy her company back from Dexter, why don't we just get her a lawyer and do this legally"?I keep silent at his question, I have my reasons for not getting a lawyer. I have my reasons for doing it secretly but i can't tell Jordan, it'll only make him hate her more.He scoffs at my silence. "Yeah, i thought so too. I think i have the answer to my question big brother".I raise my brow at him, anticipating his answer.He stands up to his feet. "Because, no matter what you do for her, she'll always run back into the hands of the nicompoon she calls a husband. Damn, even when the evidences are screaming at her face, she'll never believe anyone because everyone is the enemy who is trying to seperate her from her high school sweetheart"."After this, she'll come running into my hands, watch and see".Jordan sighs. "And if she dosen't".I smirk evily. "I'll get rid of Pierce right before her very eyes".PIERCE' POVAnger, Anger dosen't describe what i feel right now. Rage, i think rage is the perfect word. It's there, i could see it in her eyes back there at Primal hall but she wouldn't admit.That bastard Dexter. He has manipulated her so much and she can't even see it. Why is she still with him? Can't she see all the atrocities he is commiting against her? Dosen't she feel the hurt that all his actions are causing?Well that isn't my problem anymore, I have given her two options, it's either me or Dexter and the earlier she makes her choice, the better for all of us because I'm running out of time.I smile as memories from high school invade my brain, all those time we spent together. All those time that i she loved me wholeheatedly. I was a fool in love because i ignored everyone because of her.One time, she accidently poured food on Dexters celebrity girlfriend, Joelle, and the whole school went into a frenzy because no one in their right minds dared to hurt Joelle.Joelle was mad, she wanted to hurt Stacy right there in the resturant but being the loving boyfriend, i stood up for her. Dexter stepped into the picture and beat me to a pulp.Stacy insulted me in front of the whole school for being a weakling and almost broke up with me but guess what? I went down on my knees and begged her not to leave me. Long story short, she dumped me.Now thinking about it, i think she purposely poured food on Joelle, i think everything that happened right from the time i started dating her, all the coincidences, every fucking thing was planned by her. Damn, what was i thinking?I'm so fucked up, so fucked up because even after realising that she did all those things to me, i still love her with my whole being. I literally exist because of that woman.And what if she dosen't accept you at the end of the day?"Then i'll do what i know how to do best until she accepts me".I stare at my phone on the counter wondering if i should call her or not, it's beeen two days and i haven't heard anything from her, not even a text message, to show that she's thinking about me and here i am worrying my ass off about her.I pick up my phone and dial a contact on it. Book a flight to london, it's time. Oh, and send her those pictures with dates attached before booking your flight.My eyes flutter open, and the bright fluorescent bulb shining from the ceiling prevents me from keeping them open for long.where exactly am I?I try to stand from the bed but a splitting headache sends me sprawling back to my former position on the bed. I spend about ten minutes inhaling and exhaling, an exercise I learnt from Pierce."Argh". I groan. Why do I keep thinking about him? Every single action reminds me of him, like he's been an integral part of my life from the very beginning.But why do I actually feel like he has been an integral part of my life from the very beginning? Why the sudden feeling?That aside, I need to find out where I am and how to get out of this place, but this fucking headache won't let me.Suddenly, as if on cue the door flings open and Sophia rushes in."Bestie". She squeals in relief and quickly runs to me for a hug.I groan again. Because the effect of the hug just made my headache worse."I'm sorry. I'm sorry". She apologizes quickly even if she d
ANASTACIA' POV."Maybe you should just let him talk to you, Anastasia. Maybe you should hear him out and wait for his perfect timing". Sofia tried to convince me for the hundredth time tonight. Sometimes the way she defends Pierce makes me feel like there is some underground game going on between the both of them. I don't even know who to trust anymore.I mentally smack myself in the head. Sophia has been with me for years, there is no way I could suspect her.It's been 2 days 13 hours 16 minutes, and 4 seconds since we broke up. No phone calls, no text messages, no voicemails, nor emails. Nothing to show that he's even sorry for what he didBut, I don't care anymore. I'm done, he can keep on fucking Sonia for all I care.Then, the tears fill my eyes. "I was so stupid to have given my heart to someone on a platter of gold, and have him stomp it right in front of me without remorse"."He didn't do that to you, Anastasia". Sofia rubs my shoulder at least not on purposeI gently push h
UNKNOWN POV.My mind wanders to the event happening recently and I feel a mixture of both joy and sorrow. The meeting in London went well, we succeeded in buying the Radisson Corp. from Dexter. Now, I can give it back to Anastasia, and maybe she won't be mad at me anymore. Maybe, she'll forgive me, maybe she'll want me."Now, we have Radisson Corp. what's your next plan"? Jordan my younger brother interrupts my thoughtsI let out a worried sigh. "It has been your plan all along little brother what do you think I should do next"?He grabs the glass of champagne from off the table in front of him. "To be honest". He takes a sip "I have never wanted you to be with Anastasia. She's trouble, she's evil, she's bad, and I'm never going to support your relationship but if you insist that you want her, there's nothing I can do about it".I roll my eyes. "Why the unnecessary lecture bro"?"Just give it to her, expose Dexter and maybe you can tell her who you really are. Then you both can live
Anastacia' POVIt's been three hours since I got to the apartment. 3 hours since I've been sitting back against the wall. 3 hours since I've been thinking of everything Sonia said. 3 hours since I've been making up fake scenarios in my head, thinking of fake possibilities. It couldn't be true, it can't be true, the revenge, the sex, the betrayal the therapy sessions, no it's not true."Oh really"? An eerie voice replies to me. I look up with tears in my eyes and I see Sonia standing by the door. Dear lord, I'm being delusional again, but why does it look so real? I tried to get up and run away but it is as if I'm glued against the wall, frozen in place.She takes menancing steps towards me which forces me to keep my eyes on her. "If I'm fake darling, how can I touch you? How can I play with you"?"Anastasia snap out of it, snap out of it". I whisper continuously in my head. "Snap out of it you can't let her play with your mind like this, snap out of it!!"."Shut the fuck up bitch". So
ANASTACIA' POVA date? Just as if he knows a date is the perfect way to get my mind off a lot of things.To be honest, A lot has been going on lately and it has done so much in deteriorating my mental health. In fact these things happening seem to have agreed to ruin my life.First was realizing that my company is going bankrupt and I have a lot of loan to pay although Pierce already took care of that part which leaves me extra grateful for it. Second is the golden pen from the office, making remember the death of my parent and how I swept the entire event under the carpet.Third is having to explain to leave investors that taking another loan does not mean I'm crazy because they sure were looking at me like i needed to be in a psychiatric hospital and the last was having to meet Diana Carmichael after so many years.The last part bothers me a lot, because it reminds me of every thing I've tried to forget in the last 10 years. It reminds me of the guilt I try so hard not to feel.Pie
PIERCE' POVLies, lies, lies and denial. These are the things that makes me want to have my revenge but like they say love overcomes all things.Every single time , when I'm sure that I totally love her regardless of whatever she has done, something happens and I begin to doubt it again. For Stacy, I think what I feel is love and hate put together with the love overshadowing the hate. All the days I have spent with her have only proven one thing; I love her beyond how much I hate her.When she denied knowing anyone called Josh, it made me think back to the past, think of the things she made me do, think of how she made me hurt people just to satisfy her.Has she really forgotten me?I did all those things for her. I blindly did them just because I was madly in love and obsessed with someone who wouldn't notice me. I thought if I did all these things for her, that maybe one day she will come to the realisation that Dexter isn't for her, maybe she'll just notice me.But it never happen
