Unknown POV
I sit in the bathtub of my bathroom, slowing sipping red wine from a glass.Argggg, why can't i get her out of my head? It's been so long and i'm supposed to have moved on, at least she has.I sigh deeply as i come out of the already cold water, walkimg a little distance away, i pick a towel from a handle resting on the wall.As i walk into my bedroom, there they are again and it disgusts me so much. Seeing their naked bodies make me want to puke my intestines out"Leave". I order, with rage clearly playing in my voice.I watch in disgust as they all scramble away trying to cover their nakedness with the pieces of clothes in their hands.Where the fuck is Jordan and why did he let those sluts in here again. The door opens and speak of the devil, my younger brother Jordan walks in. "Hi big brother".I stare at him with expectant eyes. Tell me you've got something on her"? I ask straight away, not wanting to involve myself in petty talks."I'll tell you everything you want but first tell me why the most eligible bachelor, rich, powerful and influential as yourself would chase away a ton of ladies throwing theselves at you"?I breath out in disappointment, my brother can be so stupid and ask the dumbest questions sometimes. I know he would be worried about me but now is not the time. I need to know everything he has on my woman, the only one that has got me on my knees."Just have the sex and move on bro". He says again."Bastard". I murmur with sacarsm and he burst out laughing.He hands over the file containing her information and i smile in satisfaction. With this I'll be able to win her heart in a little while. I just can't wait to have her in my arms again, to make her fully mine."Raddison corp"? I ask suprised."Yes". Jordan says. "Dexter runs the company and he's doing a pretty job but i feel like he has an ulterior motive"."Clever bastard". He has always been clever. "Keep him in mind, Radisson corp is our next target".ANNA."Stacy!!! He said Stacy". I scream, attracting the attention the other people in the resturant.Sophie bows her head in embarassment and apologise to them on my behalf but i care less."Can you be more quiet? You're embarassing us"."I'm sorry". I apologise briefly."Now that you remember what he said, you have tell me the story over again". She sips from her glass of smoothie.This time i do not hesitate as i tell her the story of the pizza guy right from the very beginning. The way our skin contact sent shiver down my spine and how he looked very familiar, to top my curiosity, he called meStacy."That's not a mere coincidence Sofie, it has to be more than that right"? I ask, one part of me wanting to hear something positive."Hmmmm". She nods in agreement, her mouth filled with smoothie juice. "Defintitely has to be more than that, but wait didn't you say the guy from the club that night also called you Stacy"?I frown my face a little. I warned her before not to remind me of the incident at the club but she wouldn't listen. I don't want anything that would remind me of my infidelity towards Dexter because as it is, the feeling of guilt has been eating up my soul and making me feel like the worse sinner on earth."What"? She asks unfazed. "We need clues on the guy so don't look at me like that. We are trying to solve an Identity case and everyone is a suspect duhhh".I travel far in my thoughts trying to tie the strings together, the guy from the club that night called me Stacy and so did the pizza guy.I am so disappointed in myself right now, why didn't i get that hookers face?Maybe if i got it, i wouldn't be as confused as i am right now. Do they have the same body? Definitely not, a Hooker and a regular guy from the pizza hut? No way!."I'll just go to the bathroom". I announce rising from my seat."Ok mom". She says and i smack her head."Hey! What was that for"?. She whined after me.After i was done with the bathroom. I walk out only to seem him from my pheriperal vision. Jeez, I must be doing things, or maybe not."I decide to obey my instinct and follow the corner he disappeares into. I come face to face with a door and written on it is 'Dressing room'.I enter without knocking, all on my instinct. My heart is pounding loudly against my chest, making my breathing unstable. What if my vision was playing a dirty trick on me? Maybe i have been thinkng about him too much it's starting to affect me.Just as i turn around to leave, i am pulled against a wall, no not a wall; It is a human, a strong human.I look up and my eyes meets his emerald green ones. It's him, the pizza guy from yesterday."Shhh". He says "There's someone else in here, so shhh, okay"?We stayed like that for a total of three minutes before the third party walk out, leaving us to ourselves.With all the strenght i have in me, i push him off my body. "What do you think you're doing huh? Who gave you the right to touch me like that"?He chuckle humourlessly. "And who gave you the right to come in here? It's a private dressing area for the males"."Why are you so rude? I'm leaving okay". I scoff and just as i turn around to leave, I'm drawn into him for the second time.I don't know how but this time my left leg is around his waist and his hand holding it firmly. While his other hand is around my waist. Our faces are merely few inches apart and one more push is all it takes for me to be kissing this pizza guy."You need answers right"? He asks. His voice low and huskier than before. His hot breath fanning my face.How did he know that I needed answers, I didn't say anything like that, or did i? I nod my head impulsively, his voice and eyes clouding my senses."I was the one in the club that night,the one who made you moan and scream your lungs out, it was me who adored and worshiped your body, it was me who gave you the best night you've ever had in your life".I stare at him, unable to believe my ears but something else tugged at my heart. The way he's staring at me, the desire in his eyes speaks volume. His lips, eyes, nose and everything looks so alluring, i can't take my eyes off them.A picture of Dexter crosses my mind and i immediately push pizza guy off. "I don't know what it is you want but I am married and whatever happened between us that night was pure accident".I thought it was supposed to be a No string attached situation, why is he stalking me? I just hope he isn't going to use this against me later on."You know you want more Stacy, you know deep down that.....""Why do you even call me that"? I cut him off "I never told you my name and why Stacy"?.He shrug his shoulder. "You told me your name that night, you were dead drunk that's why you don't remember"."That's the reason i don't remember the awful sex we had". I pause for a while trying to gather the words in my head. "Take this as a warning my pizza guy, stay away from me. Come any closer and I'll get a restraining order against you".He snorts, annoyance crosses his eyes but they are quickly replaced by another look, one i can't quite place my hand on."If you get a restraining order against me, wouldn't the whole process alert your husband and wouldn't he ask questions". He smirks, a victorious look plastered on his face. "It's better to keep our little sin between us darling".*******Our little secret, Our little secret those words kept ringing in my head even as i lay in bed. Why is this happenning to me. Just one night, Just one night of infidelity has come back to hunt me like this. What would Dexter think of me?As i swim in my thoughts, the door to our room open and Dexter walks in. My heart drops into my stomach in fear, is he here because he found out about my sin, did the pizza guy approach him?"Hey baby. Did you miss me". He asks.I nod my head, trying to find some hint from his facial expression but nothing, everything seems normal."You are home, that's weird". I remark casually. Jesus, I'm supposed to be happy that he's home with me, right? Then what on earth is wrong?"I'm here to make it up to you, i know you are still mad at me because of what you saw on our anniversary night".He pulls me into a soothing hug. "She drugged me, baby, she drugged me and made me sleep with her".He pulls away from the hug and cups my face in his hands. "Immediaately i found out what she did, i did away with her immediately".I look at Dexter with love filled eyes, he sacked her for me, just for me. That shows he loves me."Cynthia is gonna be the last"?"I promise".As we lay in bed that night cuddled in each others arms, the feeling of happiness rushes through my soul and gather at the pit of my stomach. I just believe in his promise and this time, i know he wouldn't cheat on me agian.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
