Two weeks after Alexander proposed to Anita, the preparation for the wedding had started.Anita, Lauren, and Angie were at Warren Mansion, preparing for the big day that would happen tomorrow.The three women were lying on the bed, facing the ceiling, and talking happily about one another."By this time tomorrow, you will have become Mrs. Scot," Angie said to Anita, playfully nudging her shoulder.The three women laughed."I can't wait to also be like you," Lauren exclaimed, smiling."Very soon." Anita nudged her. "And you too." She nudged Angie, who laughed.Soon, Lauren became sober. "Caleb lied to me; he just wanted to come back into my life to deceive me. all over again." She scoffed, darting her glassy eyes."What are you talking about?" Anita asked her."After I decided to give him a chance to right his wrongs like he claimed, I caught him sleeping with a girl in his house. After he had promised me that he loved me and had really come back for me and Anna, I was a bit heartbroke
Anita became her father's heiress; she took charge of the company and became president effortlessly.She took care of the company even more than Sandra did, and it blossomed under her care using the knowledge she had studied in school and also with the help of her husband.Anita had always heard Jessica, her manager, talk about how much she missed her ex-husband and needed a man in her life, stylishly matched her with her father during one of her visits to the set, and they were a perfect match. They even started going on several dates after their first date, which was orchestrated by Anita."How was your date, dad?" Anita asked her father one day, when she visited him, to discuss the company's stock."What date?" Michael asked, looking clueless, and Anita laughed."Don't play that game with me, Dad; you think I don't know you have been going on dates with Jessica behind my back?""I have no idea what you are talking about." Michael joked, palming his face.Anita laughed once more. "Y
“This is your flight attendant speaking, ladies and gentlemen; we are starting our approach to Los Angeles. Fasten your safety belt at all times.”As the flight attendant announced their landing in Los Angeles, Anita's heart raced. It had been five years since she left Los Angeles and moved to London to begin over following an unexpected turn of event.Her heartbeat increased even more when she felt the gentle thud under her feet, which indicated that the plane had landed successfully.‘It's official; I'm back here once again!’ She thought as she walked off the plane.The cool breeze blew across Anita Fredrick's face, spreading some strands of hair across her face, as she walked down the stairs of the plane along with her friend and her son, Austin. She felt a mixture of anxiety and disgust as her eyes darted around the airport, remembering how her father's secretary had dragged her here five years ago, forcing her to board a plane to London with nothing but a few clothes on her back.
Sandra sat in her modern office, her gaze fixed on the document she was working on. Her father, the chairman of the company, had handed the project to her to work on without his involvement since she wanted to bid on a project with other top businessmen.Sandra believed this was the chance she had been waiting for—an opportunity to prove herself worthy once more—and she hoped her father would grant her the one wish she had for the company: to be the CEO of Warren's Inc.She was so focused on the document she was working on that she didn't notice her phone was ringing the whole time.She heard a tap on her office door and knew it had to be her secretary, so she ushered her in without looking away from the project she was working on."Ma'am, Miss Bridget said she had been calling your personal line for a while now," the secretary replied with a smile, and Sandra's eyes searched her enormous table full of documents for her phone."Thank you; I will return her call," Sandra said calmly wh
After checking on Austin, Doctor Sam left the house, and Angie had to see him off while Anita stayed behind with her kid.He explained how he would be coming to treat Austin at home while still requiring them to bring Austin to the hospital twice a week for necessary tests and chemo until they found a bone marrow match for him. Anita sat next to Austin and ruffled his hair with her hand, thinking about how to actualize her plans. She couldn't continue to wait for a donor; she needed to get pregnant as soon as possible so she could save her son.Angie returned to the room and kissed Austin lightly on the chin, then Anita concentrated on her phone."I'm hungry, Aunt Angie. I'm craving something spicy," Austin declared, making puppy eyes."Baby, you know mommy wouldn't want you to eat something spicy," Angie said, taking the boy's hands in hers as she sat by his side."You are hungry, right? So let's go get something to eat. But not something spicy," she added with a smile.Angie carried
By eleven a.m., Anita stepped elegantly in her heels into the Blue Ray company, disregarding the stares of the other actresses present. They'd never tire of her attractiveness, and she'd never grow accustomed to not being the focus of attention.The guard pointed her to the director's office, and she wasted no time getting there.Anita knocked quietly on the door of the office, and a voice from within welcomed her in."Good morning, Anita; you may have your seat," the director said, and Anita smiled back.Anita nodded and sat in the chair in front of the director, a bright smile lingering on her face. Her entire appearance exudes elegance.The director took a few documents from the drawer and set them on the table. He began scrolling through them and sighed after a while."Jessica Greg is your manager; she was assigned to you. You don't need to be concerned; she's good at what she does." The director explained, and Anita smiled again, making the director's heart beat faster for her. I
Anita's heart rose as Alexander held her by the hand and took her away from the reporters. His hand firmed on her hand protectively.She was sweating profusely and anxious at the same time, and she was sure that the lovely make-up that Angie had taken her time to do that evening before she left home would have been ruined by now.Her mind was raised with questions and scenarios, fearing what could happen next.Just after they had successfully escaped from the watchful eyes of the reporters, Alexander suddenly let go of her like he had been holding a plague and was relieved to finally have to let it go. And without saying a word to Anita, he walked away from her. Anita felt relief and confusion.Anita, who was still in shock, first looked at her hand and then looked up at his retreating as he walked toward his car.Determined that she would not let him go that night without a word, she followed immediately behind him and suddenly called his name just as he was about to enter his car, b
Anita sat in the back seat of the car as her personal security drove her home. She kept fidgeting and looking through the window all through the journey. Alexander's face and the scene that played out a few moments ago kept replaying in her head over and over again. She was still in a place of uncertainty about whether Alexander had recognized her as the woman he had a one-night stand with or not. But then, if he did, why did he not say anything about it? Or if he didn't, why was he that way toward her?The second question was not a topic of continuous reflection since Anita had come to notice that he was like that towards every other person.But then what if he knew and was waiting for the right time to say it? Or what if he eventually found out in the course of her trying to seduce him?Anita was torn between her desire to seduce him and her fear of him discovering her true identity.And then Lawrence seemed to be another stumbling block to her chances of getting close to Alex and g
