Inauguration ceremony-2

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

Pregnancy test.

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

Baby?

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

Final decision.

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

Losing self-control.

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

Concerns.

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

Bed-warmer.

Ryan POV: I had a meeting with a client and when I finally got free from the hellish torture, I glanced at my wrist watch and clock the clock was already ticking 9pm. My stomach was going berserk as I did not have anything the whole day other than 6 cups of coffee and after having that much caffeine, I surely won't be able to sleep tonight. "Take me to the usual restaurant." I commanded the driver and he instantly stepped on the gas. I wanted to go to my parents residence but I wasn't in the mood to hear their nagging. It was a better choice to eat alone instead. Soon, the vehicle stopped in front of the building. It is a 5-star Michelin restaurant and my all time favorite place. My mood lifted up as I walked inside the building. Trust me, I am a true gourmet. I cannot say no to good food but it is my hectic routine which does not give me a break. "Hello, Mr. Weaver." A waitress rushed to greet me the moment her eyes fell on me. "Hi." I plainly said. I am tired of them giving

An intruder.

Ryan POV: In the morning, I left the hotel while Delilah was still sleeping soundly. I tired her out, out of her wits last night and to be honest, I felt bad too. Because I used her to get rid of my thoughts about Anastasia. I scratched my stubble that had grown overnight and sighed. 'You will be the death of me one day.' I imagined Ana and complained to her. Never in my life, I thought that I would lose my control over someone. Even if I showed this scenario to my past self, I would have laughed really hard. "We have arrived, sir." The driver told me. We were at my place. I went to my penthouse and took a shower to get rid of all the signs of another girl on my body. After cleaning up thoroughly and changing into the new suit, I adjusted the tie knot and glanced at my reflection for the last time and left for the office. At the office, Kevin had already prepared breakfast for me. I sipped onto the coffee and it woke me up while the pile of the work on the desk made me groan.

What's wrong with him?

Anastasia POV:I picked out a floral printed v-necked, full sleeves dress from my wardrobe. Before, I did not want to go to dinner but now, I want to. I took a shower and changed into the dress that I had picked out. I let my hair loose and dabbed some makeup on my face to look presentable. However, when it was my turn to pick out the shoes, I grabbed 4 inches long heels, but then something clicked in my mind. 'You have to be really careful at the early stages of the pregnancy. A little negligence can result in a miscarriage.' Dr. Crystal told me when I went to see her. 'We can't even call it a baby yet. It is so tiny and fragile that ultrasound is also not possible.' She added and I took a careful note of her instructions. So, I put them back onto their place and instead took out a pair of plain sandals. After making sure I looked fine, I went to the sitting area. Mom and Dad were waiting for me. "Do I look okay, Mom?" For some reason, I started to get nervous and held the hem of

Father of my child.

Anastasia POV:After dinner, I don't know where Ryan went. He left the table after he got a call and now I am looking for him like a maniac in this humongous place. I climbed the stairs and went to the first floor. I could not help but get impressed by the beauty of this place again. However, I put the urge to admire his home on the side and looked for him. There were many doors on the first floor. I contemplated what to do as I had no idea which one of those rooms was his. With a thumping heart, I knocked on the first door on the right side and soon, it opened. I found him standing right in front of me. The scent of his expensive cologne wrapped me up and I lifted my eyelids to take in his astonishing looks. His hair was randomly falling on his forehead like he had been running his fingers in them while his dark eyes were deep and terrifying. He looked at me with confusion. "What is it?" His eyes squinted. "Uhm-" Now that I am here and I have to reveal the biggest secret of my l
