Anastasia POV: I kept my distance from Ryan but I started to miss him and that wasn't a good sign. I shouldn't be falling for my one night stand, right? And after I told him in the text message that I don't want rumors, he did not approach me again. I was relieved but at the same time I was hurt. I did not expect such indifference from him. I don't know what I want. I want his attention and then, I also want to ignore him. This thing is tiring. Even when we were supposed to sign a contract, he did not come. He sent Kevin and his legal team in his place. I pouted in disappointment and signed the paper with a heavy heart. On our way back to the office, I quietly looked out of the window. "Miss. Logan, aren't you happy? We are supposed to be celebrating tonight." Samuel looked at me through the rear view mirror. "You can take the staff for dinner. I would rather get some rest." I closed my eyes and at the thought of drinking, my stomach churned. These days, I am feeling lethargic. 'P
Anastasia POV: I have been waiting for this day for years. It was my dream to have my own company ever since I was young and now when everything was coming true, it felt surreal. I sat in front of the vanity. The red dress which Mom chose for me was really beautiful. It was simple and had a slit on the left legs. With every step, my leg would peek out of it. I matched the jewellery, a heavy stoned necklace and smokey eyed makeup completed my look. I stood in front of the mirror and watched my reflection. I nodded in satisfaction and grabbed the clutch that was in the shape of bird and had shining stones all over it. I am the main character tonight, so I deserve this much, right? I smiled and went to the venue with the driver. Mom and dad were going to come late but I had to double check everything before the event. I watched my staff. They were running here and there and making sure that everything is perfect. I personally check every table but I wasn't satisfied with the way
Anastasia POV: I pulled the door of the stall roughly and threw up. I puked until I felt like my guts were going to come out too. Tears were stopping and the dizziness caused me to lose my balance. If I did not put my hand on the wall for support, I would have fallen on my butt. I flushed the toilet and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes and the tip of my nose had turned red while my hands were shaky too. I sighed and before I could redo a touch up, I felt uncomfortable again and the heavy feeling on my heart resulted in the vomit again. "Are you okay? Can I help you?" I heard a lady but I did not have energy in my body to turn around and to look at her. She squatted beside me and patted my back. When I felt better, J glanced at her. She looked at me with concern. 'What if she is some media person? She will spread the word around.' I became uneasy and stepped out of the stalls. I rinsed my mouth and tapped my face with the tissue. "Thank you. I had something bad during lu
Anastasia POV: On my way home from the party, I asked the driver to stop at the pharmacy. My heart was hammering so hard against the rib cage that I was sure that it is now all bruised up. My head was a mess. My thoughts were distorted and the attitude which Ryan gave me tonight, after that I am not sure what to expect from him. 'What if he will not take responsibility for it?' Another thought made me uncomfortable. 'Should I not tell him?' Although I haven't done the test yet, I had a feeling that it was true. There were a lot of coincidences for it to be wrong. "If you need anything, tell me... I will grab it for you, Young Miss." Our driver Steve said as he stopped the car outside the pharmacy. I couldn't ask him to get me a pregnancy kit so I denied his offer. "Thank you, Steve but I will get it." I forced a smile before stepping out of the car and walking inside the pharmacy. Every step that I took, it became heavier than the last one. My hands shook from the fear while my li
Anastasia POV:When I woke up in the morning, my head was hammering. The headache was so intense and sharp that I could not even lift my head. I groaned and massaged my temples to relieve the pain and continued to lay on the bed for almost an hour. It was a relief that I wasn't feeling nauseous. I removed the makeup that I did yesterday. Last night, I was too torn to even do that and took a long and warm shower. My whole body calmed down and the headache even got better. Since today is Sunday, I decided not to go to the office. Although I needed to check the reports from the party. But it can wait. I have another important matter pestering me at the moment. After I was done changing clothes, the clock struck 11am. I patted my face with the blender and applied some concealer under my eyes to get rid of eye bags that were sagging. I have to go and see Dr. Crystal at 12. With the nervously beating heart, I opened the side table and without looking at that pregnancy stick, I shoved it
Anastasia POV: On Monday, I had to go to the office and get a briefing about the opening ceremony. I picked out a simple beige colored suit and went to the company. Later on the day, I was going to get the reports but I was mentally prepared for what is coming. I sat in the conference room, while Samuel and Emma explained the details. "Miss. Logan, 90% of the articles from our first collection have been sold while we have received more orders also." He looked ecstatic as he told me. I was happy too. All the hard work and the efforts that I have put into this thing, I felt like it has been repaid. "Our estimated sales for this month are 1 billion dollars." I was shocked when I heard him. "Although we haven't opened up an outlet in a mall yet, I think we should give credit to the Weavers. The moment people hear that they have invested, they put a blind trust on us and of course, your work is flawless." He did not forget to compliment me at the end. However, upon hearing 'Weaver' my
Ryan POV:Her thoughts haunt me. At the party, when I saw that scared and terrified look in her eyes, it shattered my heart. I did not want to be rude to her but I was and I cannot undo that. Given her personality, it won't be easy to say sorry to her either. I rubbed my face and leaned back on the seat while she occupied my mind all over again. At first, I did not like how much control she has over me but now I am getting used to it. I like thinking about her, being with her and if I ever get a chance, I am sure I cannot say no to that enchantingly flawless body. Kevin entered my office after knocking onto the door but I did not look at him. I do not want any interruptions when I am thinking about her."Sir, here is the report from Stones. They did better than we expected. The collaboration with them will surely make up for our losses in a short span of time." He reported and I gave him a slight nod. I did not have any doubts about such an outcome. Yes, when I saw that she is the ow
Anastasia POV:"You came early today." Mom said to me as I plopped onto the couch in the sitting area. It was 4 in the evening and I was already back from the office while I usually come at dinner time. "Yeah, I was tired." I yawned and leaned back onto the soft cushions. I did not eat anything as I was nauseous so I was really low on energy right now. Every pore in my body was aching. Mom's eyes turned into slits as she watched me. I got anxious suddenly. "What?" I tried to end this awkwardness."You are looking really pale. Are you okay" she sat beside me and placed her hand on my forehead to check the temperature. I wanted to hug her and cry in her embrace but I forced a smile instead. "I am doing fine." I lied and she wasn't convinced at all. Mom cupped my cheeks and made me look into her eyes. Damn!! I wanted to tell her everything but I could not bring myself to do that. I imagined how shattered she would be after knowing the truth. Although I know, one day I have to tell the
