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.ANASTACIA'S POVTwo months, two months and I've become a shadow of myself, much to my own dismay. I have always wondered the kind of hold Pierce had on me and how much it would affect me if somthing was to happen. Right now, i no longer doubt it. This man controls me, even in his absence, my whole being still feels compelled to listen to him, obey him and dwell on the sweet nothings he whispers into my ears. I haven't had a single sleep in two months, i have bags under my eyes and i have lost a lot of weight, much to Dexter's irritation and annoyance but who cares? I don't care what he thinks anymore, i don't give a fuck. I want Pierce, my body wants him, i think i might be existing for him at this point.I haven't even let Dexter touch me in so long, he hasn't laid a hand on me and I'm not bothered. Antytime he tries to touch me, images of all those women I've caught him with occupies my memory. The way he banged them, treated them with love and even the sound of their irritating
ANASTACIA'S POV.Getting all dressed up to go see Pierce didn't sit right with me. I mean what if he dosen't want to see me? What if he sends me away? I have so many what ifs in my mind right now and if not for Sofia, i would have stayed in bed all day, sulking like a child or may be crying myself to sleep over and over again.We entered the resturant and took a seat by the corner. Yeah, my choice , i want to see him before he sees me. I want to be able to read the expression on his face and know the right words to say. The resturant isn't really full today and i am greatful to God for this one favour, less people means less embarassment. This resturant has been here for two years now, i think it opened the day i and Dexter got married. We even had our first year anniversary dinner here, just me and him. It's me and sofia's favourite, they've got quite an exotic menu. Okay, enough thinking of Dexter, i need to focus on the reason I'm here."Oh, beautiful queens". We hear someone call
Pierce's pov.Two months have passed and i haven't heard a single word from Stacy. If at all she picks Dexter, i am determined to let her go for real this time. Regardless of whatever feeling i have for her, if she is going to be happy with Dexter, i am going to bury everything and move on.In these two months, i only understand one language; work. I work my ass off like never before, took on multiple jobs, multiple shifts. I just needed to distract myself, i needed something to take my mind from off Stacy. The plan to expose Dexter was going on just fine, i know he is plannning to sell Stacy's company and he planned to do it in London. Today isn't as stressful as the other days because there aren't many customers. "Hey Marie, i'm going to take a shower, i'll be down in twenty".She eyes me up and down. "Want me to join you". She asks seductively. "I can do a lot of things".I chuckle a little. "No need sweetheart, i can scrub myself just fine". These women be as tempting as hell b
Anastacia's POV."Arggg! Pierce". He knows exactly what he's doing. He knows what i want, so why is he ignoring me now.Does he? The voice in my head asks. How on earth do you expect him to know what you want when you won't say it to him?What? Say what to him? There's no way I'm telling him something as embarassing as that.But I've said it to him once before, why is it so difficult to say now?My fears, my fears are kicking in again. I do not want him to see me as a whore, neither do i want him to see me as a lady who can't control her urge, but how on earth can i control it when i have a hot god laying beside me, and i haven't been touched in two months, not like i was craving Dexers touch or anything like that. Anyway, fantacising about this man beside me right now isn't making it easier for me to control myself. I slam my fisted palm on the bed and Pierce turns to me with panic on his face. "Babe, are you okay? Is everything fine"?I have a frown on my face and my breaths are ha
Pierce' POV.Morning came quickly than expected, it only means, we slept late night. I felt Ana leave the bed this morning and from her movement, i could tell that she was still mad at me.Minutes after she leaves i decide to go check up on her, but first i need to do my morning business. After i am done, i head downstairs. "Where is queen of my heart"? I yawn dramatically."I don't get a reply so i continue my search for her". I check in Sofia's room and bathroom, laundry room, dinning room but there is no sign of her. Where else am i missing? The kitchen , i haven't looked in the kitchen.I go into the kitchen and there she is facing the cooker with earphones on. A smirk appears on my lips. It's happening, just how i imagined it, Stacy as my wife, preparing breakfast in the morning for me and our kids. The sight sends happiness to my heart and makes my insides jump with excitment. I silently make my way over to her and wrap my hands around waist. Her body stiffens for a second
Anastacia's POVAfter saying goodbye to Sofia, we board a taxi heading to God-knows-where. "Where do you wanna go".? I ask him"Anywhere sweetheart as long as you're there with me" He replies.A small smile appears on my cheek as a reply. Why does he make me feel like this? I scoot closer and embrace him while I lay my head on his chest. He places a quick kiss on my head and I smile in return, although he cannot see me.Where was he all this while? Where was he all my life? Why didn't I meet him first? Why did God decide to send Dexter to me first? What was the reason.?Thinking about how everything started, I just cannot help but be grateful to Sophia. She made it possible for me to feel what I feel today, she made it possible for me to be happy today and I am forever grateful to her. Although I felt really guilty towards Dexter at first and I still do, but he also cheated on me multiple times, let's just say we are evenMy mind wanders to the first time at the bar, the night I first
Anastasia's POVMy eyes flutter open and a long, tired yawn escapes my lips as I turn back and forth on the bed. Suddenly the curtain is drawn open, much to my anger. I take a pillow to cover my face with while muttering curse words under my breath.Wait, this bed feels different. Why does this bed feel different? I quickly take the pillow away from my face and sit upright on the bed. I look around the room and reality dawns on me; I now live with Pierce.My eyes wander over to the curtain and there he is staring at me with his beautiful eyes. He is shirtless with just a brief on, I could definitely get used to this every morning but not to be a lady pervert, I gasp in embarrassment and turn my face in another direction "What are you doing"?"What"? He asks in a very sexy voice. He probably doesn't know but that voice makes my pulse palpitate.Stuttering mode activate. "I I..I mean why aren't you wearing anything".? A blush creeps onto my cheeks when he chuckle "It's nothing you ha
Anastacia's POV.It's a beautiful Saturday morning and Pierce decides to take me to a secret place. He can't tell because it's a surprise but I'm not very patient.We are in a cab heading to God-knows-where."Where are we going".? I asked for the hundredth time.He doesn't reply and I pout cutely. I know he's not usually able to resist my pout and cute face but to my surprise he shuts his eyes tight. "I know what you're doing". He says "But I won't fall for it"."What".? I widen my eyes. "You have to tell me where we are going else I'm going to tell the driver to stop the car and I'll leave"."A little patience babe, we'll be there okay, I promise"."Fine". I fold my arms together and relax my back on the car seat. If I don't know where we are going, I can at least enjoy some fresh air.Seconds turn into minutes and in about 30 minutes we arrive at our destination. Is this a.... fashion house?I face Pierce and he smiles at me.I gasp, more shocked than surprised. "Tell me we're no
