ANASTASIA
If it was so easy to wipe my memories of last night, I will do it again.
I got heartbroken by his son and got dumbstruck, frozen, and my thighs shamelessly clenched by him. I can’t stop thinking about his whole expression yesterday and the way he watched me look at his body curves and the huge thing he has in between his legs.
I was fucking daring; I knew it. Maybe it was the pain, but strangely, I still do not regret saying those words to him, even though he thinks I’ve gotten mad.
Karina is beside me, sitting around a table where we get all sorts of coffee and stuff. She has been talking for over thirty minutes, and I haven’t really heard a single thing she has been saying.
I nod, and, uh, so she doesn’t get pissed for letting her talk go to waste. Talking is one of the major things we don’t have in common. I’m reserved and a good listener, but Karina is the opposite of that.
I knew she had been talking about Bennett, but I really didn’t get a thing from what she said because my mind has been clouded and foggy with Sir Denver’s thoughts.
It should be daring of me to even think of fantasizing about Denver Harper. One of the richest men in New York City has the biggest law firm you will ever find. He is filthy rich, but he is the type never to show it off.
He talks to people normally because he believes everyone has value and no one should be looked down on. And aside from his personal principles about humans, he is not easily accessible and hard to approach because of his body and physique and his no-nonsense personality.
Everything about him is manly; even the way he walks is unique. He basically just strides; he doesn’t just walk. He always does it with some sort of purpose. His movements are purposeful, bold, and so damn masculine.
Muscles. I saw everything yesterday—his chest, abdomen, biceps, or strong thighs.
His put-together looks make people think he is hard and tenacious, so they keep off like humans, staying out of the wild dog zone.
After what I saw yesterday, I’ve quit dreaming about teenage boys and jocks. I’ve seen grown-up beauty that only comes with a lot of physical activity and age.
I’ve seen his cut abdomen and bulging muscles. I’ve seen his quick reflexes, and unfortunately for me, nothing can top that anymore.
“Can you hear me, Anastasia?” She calls for the second time as she waves her fingers in my face.
“Uhm, yeah. I didn’t quite get what you said last.” I blink, returning to my chocolate milkshake, an unhealthy obsession I’ve always had since I was a kid at the orphanage home.
I have an unhealthy obsession with chocolate in general, especially chocolate milkshakes. I thought I would grow over it, but it never happened, even though I stopped residing at the orphanage home and got to stay alone.
I do freelance gigs to get my bills sorted out, and I’m quite good at it because I saw myself all through law school, and in a few weeks I will be going for my internship.
“Which of the “last” you didn’t hear?” She rolls her amber eyes in sarcasm as she sips a tiny portion of her cappuccino.
“Uhm, none.” I bite the button on my lips, waiting for her wrath, but a quick smile breaks through her lips.
“I knew it. You were never paying attention because you couldn’t get over that stupid boy. As per what I said, you need to get closure, and you can only do that once you’ve had a proper conversation with him.” She stares closely at my beige eyes.
“And the last?” I demand as she relaxes back in her chair and throws her blonde hair back.
“Oh, that. I was talking about the internship, basically the list of students who should be accepted at Denver & Drake Law Firm.” My mouth opens in an O curve as I recall that I applied for internship training a month ago.
Literally, I applied to two different law firms, and the Denver & Drake Law firm is the first. I doubted I was good enough to be a candidate, but either way, I did try my best and applied.
“Did they announce a release date for that already?” I narrow my eyes at her, sipping my milkshake slowly.
“Of course. They said, Probably in a week, we should know students who are qualified.” She breathes nervously. Karina also applied to the Denver & Drake law firm and is hoping she gets qualified as well.
“Well, that’s enough discussion for today. I will need to leave now; I need to do a school run.” She throws her legs back on the floor and grabs her back.
“See you tomorrow, and make sure you contact that asshole again and get your fucking closure.” She perks me on the cheek, and I return the favor.
After she left, I gave it a second thought. I really won’t have my closure if I don’t speak to Bennett.
I know he fooled me yesterday, but I can try to reach out to him again. Maybe this time I can really speak to him, and I don’t even need to see him anymore.
I take out my phone from my bag and dial his number. I thought about calling him, but I have to move on. I have to get through to him.
The phone rang for a second, and I let out a quick sigh as he picked up. “Hey, Bennett?” I call out, but I don’t hear his voice.
I heard something else.
Wait. “Oh sh*t. Oh shit. Harder Bennett, I want you to go faster in that fucking pussycat of mine.” A damn female moan!
I clenched my phone and ended the call immediately. Did he just make me hear that he’s fucking some other girl?
My heart bleeds as I clench my phone harder. I’m in public, and I can’t start crying; it will be a disaster.
We’ve not even broken up yet, and he’s fucking cheating on me already. I relax back in my seat, trying to get my milkshake to calm me down, but the glass shatters to the ground.
It spilled my chocolate milkshake all over the floor. It had never happened. My milkshake has never been wasted.
I lost my air, and now I'm losing control of my body because I’m shaking beyond control.
Bennett must really take me for a fool. My world tilts off its axis and splinters into bloody pieces as I let out a low, painful cry.
ANASTASIAIt’s girls night!Since Denver is out with his stepbrother, I decided to go out with Karina to catch up on all the time I've been away.I’m with her right now, at the club where we had once visited before she found Chloe and fell in love with him.We’re sitting in the area with dim red lights, excluding a sense of privacy and anonymity. It doesn’t mean we can’t be seen by others in the club, but it doesn’t give off the flashy vibes.I’m dressed in a flowery yellow short dress purchased by Denver, and my hair is twisted in a French hairstyle. Karina is wearing a tank top and a blue trouser that’s barely covering her stomach.The waiter heads to our table, and I order my usual chocolate milkshake, and she orders her usual as well. The word obsession is real, and we are in that category, stuck with our favorite drinks."So you go first! Pour out your heart to me, girl!” I tap on the table, grinning as I wait for her to start spilling all the details I must have missed."I'm pre
DRAKEThere are only two of that necklace in the world; it was the same necklace I customized for my lost daughter and Astrid, my wife.I don’t want to assume yet, so I called Astrid to be on her way to the penthouse, where I usually relax when I need some time to think.Astrid is cool with me having a separate house to myself as long as I always come home to her. And sometimes she would meet me up at the penthouse and spend the entire night together.I sit in the bar area with a glass of whiskey and ice as I spin slowly on the bar stool. When we gave birth to our first and only child, Annabel, we had only spent a few days with her before she got stolen from us.Astrid almost died of a heart attack due to the loss of our baby; we searched everywhere for her, but we couldn’t find her. We used the same necklace, but we totally lost her.Astrid still has traumas about the loss of her baby, including the nonstop nightmare and the jerking from her sleep at night. Sometimes she says her bab
ANASTASIA“Welcome back, Anna. Don’t you think your internship should be over by now?” Chloe smirks at me, and I just stare blankly at him. But he smiles nonchalantly, like he always does."Chloe, I told you to stop picking on her. And don’t let Denver hear you speaking to her in this tone; he will cut off your balls, and I truly don’t want your balls out yet. I still want you to fuck me some more." Karina winks at me as she teases him.My face is radiant with a bright smile, and her teasing Chloe made me giggle even more. She turns to me with her arms wide spread."I'm happy to have you back. Gosh, I had no one to gossip with! You just left me all alone!” Rolling her eyes, she falls into my open arms as well.“As for you, Chloe, don’t you think you don’t deserve to be with my friend?” It’s my turn to pick on him, and this time I come with the full energy."Come on, Anna. Must you two fight all the time?” She glances at me, then back to Chloe, and the smile on my face keeps getting wi
DENVERAnastasia is fast asleep, and I can’t stop staring at her. She looked so disturbed when she saw Sandra’s call.And to make her feel at peace, I declined Sandra’s calls, whispering to her that she doesn’t have to worry anymore about Sandra or anyone.And I owe Sandra nothing; it's not compulsory to take her calls.I meant every word I said to Anastasia. I chose her, and I will continue to choose her for the rest of my life. There is no other option aside from being with her.I've thought a lot about what we are going to do together once we leave the UK and return home. Also, I don’t tell her about the surprise part yet.Since I want us to be official, I need to give her an apartment in her name. An apartment she would make her home, and even though she is the only home I want to return to, I would so much love living with her in the apartment.An apartment secured with cameras and security. This is because I know who Sandra is and how much length she can go. Aside from wanting A
ANASTASIA"Even right now.” His tempting voice immersed in my brain, and the only thing that makes sense now is this man's touch.Fuck, he couldn’t even resist as he took in my breath and I breathed in his. He brings his teeth snatching my lips and kisses me so delicately, like precious porcelain.“Gosh, I miss these fucking lips.” I murmur into his mouth. The kissing part is hot, but I can’t wait to have him deep inside me.I wrap my leg around his waist; he holds me so tight as he kisses the hell out of my lips.My nipples begin to ache, desperate for his hands on them. I think this man always has a way of making me lose my mind.Like I’m doing right now. I feel so hot; I’m not gentle as I tear off the tank top on me, leaving my boobs to fall out in front of him.His eyes darkened with temptation as he stared at my pink nipples. The lust in his eyes is alluring. In that swift moment of him staring at my hard and pink nipples, I stare at his gorgeous face.I can’t stop emphasizing how
ANASTASIAI could sense his arrival. I heard the sound of the car all the way from my room. I had just called him a few minutes before I got back home.I don't believe he is suddenly in front of my house; it's as if he abandoned everything he was doing and ran to me.I couldn’t express myself on the phone; I was short of words as tears streaked down my blue eyes. I only said a few words to him and ended the call. “You know what it means by seeing my call again, Denver.”Fuck, I miss calling his name. I miss my lips calling him mine. He has always been mine, but I had been too scared to voice it out.Now, it finally feels like I can call him mine without being scared of his reactions to it. It’s so calming thinking of how this man made me feel—not the bad part but the good ones. It’s so erotic whenever I remember the hot sex we had multiple times.God, I can’t be mad at him anymore. I should really give him a second chance. After all his efforts? I’m convinced he is truly sorry for wha
