HOSPITAL, EMERGENCY UNIT."Please come with me, sir." The doctor uttered, and when they got to the emergency unit, Dylan was allowed to go in. As soon as he stepped in, his eyes turned red seeing Anastasia in the state she was in,"How's she?""Thankfully, she was rushed in on time and so we were able to save her. There's no internal bleeding or something too serious. It's just a few cuts and some broken ribs, but right now I can't say when she will be awake."Bryan walked until he was standing close to her bed, "I left you for a day, and you're in this state, Anna." He muttered, tucking his hand into his pocket as it was so obvious he was worried about her."I'll take my leave now." The doctor uttered, but Bryan didn't move even an inch from where he was standing or cock his head to stare back at the doctor. He took a seat close to Anna and kept watching over her.After about 2 hours of thinking, he tucked his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone to dial Lucas's number,Whe
Ten minutes later, Lucas walked into the ward, and Dylan rose to his feet when he saw him,"I've gotten everything you need, sir. The pictures on the internet have also been taken care of, and this is everything you need to know about Ms Anastasia George.""George?" The last name sounded familiar to Dylan and he arched his brows as he collected the papers from Lucas."Alright, thank you," Dylan said and took a few steps away from Lucas, heading towards the window. When he heard the sound of the door as Lucas stepped out, he didn't look around but began to go through the papers that Lucas had brought to him.His grip on it slowly began to tighten, and he bit his lower lips. One minute later, when Dylan saw the exact words he was looking for, he turned around slowly till he was able to stare at Anastasia who was still unconscious on the bed.It was so hard to believe, but based on Lucas's research, it was stated that Anna was the only daughter of Mr and Mrs George, which meant, she was
"So where are we heading to right now?" Anastasia questioned as Dylan slowly pushed the wheelchair,"To see your daughter. She's waiting for you home."Those words made Anna smile and she relaxed back in the wheelchair. As Dylan approached the car waiting outside, he halted the wheelchair and moved forward a little bit. The car door was opened by Lucas who was standing close to the car."You brought a Lamborghini just to take me home?" Anna had to question Dylan when he came back to where she was,"What did you expect me to bring?" Dylan responded,"I don't know, maybe a car that isn't too shouty.""Well, you'll have to deal with all the different kinds of shouty cars that there are," Dylan responded and squatted to her level. He whispered to her, "I'm gonna carry you now, if it hurts you, just say it." He uttered sweetly, and Anna could only blink twice while she stared at him.Why was he looking this handsome up close? She wondered and nodded her head after a few seconds. Gently, Dy
Anastasia let out a deep sigh, wrecking her fingers into her hair so she could try and stop thinking about anything. She had come here to free her mind, probably hoping that some loud music in the club would do, but was she wrong? Maybe that wasn't what she wanted at the moment. All Anna wanted at the moment was to stop her existence for just a few days, or rather to stop time so she could free herself from the torment she was going through right now!Her heart was heavy, her mind filled with a lot of her past, and her eyes were swollen because she couldn't cry anymore.James was cheating! Again!Anna let out a small whimper. She had given her all to the man she never loved for a year, trying to make her marriage work out just well by sacrificing a lot, even her heart, but nothing was working. James wasn't going to change.She averted her gaze to the drink still half empty in front of her and cleaned the tears that had managed to escape her eyes even when she didn't want it to.It had
3 WEEKS LATER.An extremely tired Anna walked into the house, heading straight for her room, but Anna immediately paused when she heard funny and giggling noises around the corridor.She didn't waste time and headed straight for James' room where she was certain the noise was coming from. As she stared at another woman in the arms of her husband, Anna shook her head because there was certainly no need to be frustrated since the divorce documents were almost ready. All she had to do was to get him to sign the papers and walk out of his life immediately. Anna let out a deep sigh and shut the door. She took a left turn, heading for her room because more than anything, she had her problems to think about.The doctor must have been wrong. Anna wanted to keep reassuring herself that she wasn't pregnant just yet until she had confirmed it by herself. She locked the door and headed for the room while tucking her hand into her handbag. Fear gripped her heart so much staring at the pregnancy te
"Dad, please…… I don't want to go back to him," Anna cried out loud, "Ahhhh." A slap went across her face and she immediately fell on her knees."I can't and I can't go back. I'd rather die than return to him." Anna cried again, but her father Mr William wasn't ready to listen."Stop it, honey, she's our daughter." Mary, her mother, cried out loud, trying to plead with her husband, but Mr William wasn't ready to listen. "Our daughter has her reasons for returning honey, please forgive her.""Shut the hell up, woman. You've been the one spoiling her the entire time. If you never made her look down on James, maybe she wouldn't have made this stupid decision of hers. Do you know what this means? Do you have any idea what your daughter's stupidity has done to our reputation?" He turned to face Anna who was still on her knees,"You're going back to James, else you'll leave this family for good and never return here. You'll cease to be my daughter and all your rights in the company will be
6 YEARS LATER.Anna smiled widely at herself, looking at the papers in her hands. It was an official paper informing her that she had been transferred to the hotel in New York, the biggest branch that existed. Not only that, the offer was so mouthwatering and hard to resist."I think I should take it." Anna thought for the 20th time, biting her lower lips. New York was the beginning of her pains, but it was also where a lot of things had happened. She wanted to prove her father wrong and show everyone that she wasn't the worthless child they claimed her to be. Even more, Anna missed her mother so much and she had not seen the woman for more than 6 years since she left home. She would go there and make the most of her time working and taking care of her daughter. Her dream was to own the biggest and best hotel in the world, and gradually, Anna knew she was getting there."Mommy. Mommy, Mommy, guess what?" Anna heard her daughter's voice and rolled her eyes with a chuckle. It was now tim
"Welcome to King's Hotel sir!" Anna's voice interrupted Dylan's thought, and immediately brought him back to reality. He arched his brows as he stared at her and suddenly felt his phone ringing in his pocket.Dylan thought it wasn't necessary to pick up the calls. He simply wanted to continue to stare at her for as long as he could, but then Anna spoke again,"How may I help you? Would you like to book a room, sir?""Oh, I made a reservation." He stated."I'm sorry Sir, could you give me a few minutes to check what room you reserved here?" When Anna asked this, Dylan simply nodded his head in response guessing that she must have been new here as well. He waited and about 2 minutes later, Anna raised her head to stare at him."Room 212, VVIP section. Alright, can you come with me, I'll take you to your room sir, and ensure you feel comfortable." Anna stated. The one thing Dylan admired was the fact that the smile on her face didn't vanish right from the beginning, and somehow it had ma
