"How about removing my towel so your eyes can get better access to my body, cara mia?" He rasped in her ear.Aniya's eyes widened, processing the meaning behind his words. She snapped her eyes in his direction and sent him an aghast look which made him chuckle. He was falling in love with her reactions. Aniya frowned at him. How dare he?"I have no interest in getting any kind of access regarding your anything, especially your body, Mr Alfanso," she blurted out at him. An amused grin formed on his face at her reply."Quite offending, Ms. Meier," he uttered while leaning his face closer to hers."You have hurt my body so much and yet you are disgracing it like that. Very disrespectful of yours," he showed his fake offence. Her frown deepened. When did she hurt his body? Had he lost his mind or what? Aniya gave him some looks like he had turned psycho which widened his grin. "Well this time I have the evidence, Ms. Meier, so you cannot disagree with my words," saying that he turned h

"What do you think that I was wil…." The sound of the doorbell ringing stopped Aniya from completing her words. It took her back to her senses that what she was about to reveal to him in her anger but why? Why did she get that urge to tell him about it? She had never told anyone about the truth of her past, even in her worst, except Niova then why her anger and pain turned her so vulnerable that she was about to spill everything to him? He didn't deserve her truth. He wasn't worth it. Not now, not ever. He watched her looking away from him by tossing her head. She closed her eyes and exhaled a heavy breath to calm herself down. He silently witnessed her each and every action. Once again the sound of the doorbell resonated. Scanning her entire body from her head to her toe in a brief glance, he turned on his feet and walked out of the door. Aniya lifted her eyes in his direction as soon as she heard him leaving from that room. She sighed sharply and then wiped her glossy eyes. His

Niova opened the door and breathed out in relief, watching Aniya standing in front of her. "Are you alright?" That was the very first thing that came out of Niova's mouth after seeing Aniya before her, especially when she noticed her clothes. She was not wearing her previous clothes. With a sigh, Aniya nodded at her and then stepped inside. Niova was about to close the door but once again, her eyes darted towards the road where she saw Dario's car which was parked in front of Aniya's home. Not only this, but that car's owner was also looking in her direction like always. Niova exhaled a heavy breath when that car drove away. She shut the main door and followed Aniya to the bedroom. After entering the bedroom, Aniya's eyes straight fell on her daughter who was still peacefully sleeping on the bed. She walked towards her and sat on the bed beside her.Dipping her face down, she kissed the crown of her kid's head and started sliding her palm over it. Niova joined her and stood beside

Following his footsteps, Aniya was silently walking behind him. His guards were also following them but he had ordered them to keep at a distance from them. Taking her head upward, she looked at his back. Where was he taking her? Were they going to that press conference now?"I hope we don't need to revise what you need to say in the conference, Ms. Meier," she heard him asking her. His voice was slightly low. Only for her to hear it. Aniya glared at his back as he neither turned around to face her nor stopped his feet from walking."I remember everything that I need to say, Mr Alfanso," she spat, walking behind him. "I need to apologise for a mistake I have not done," His mouth stretched into a grin at her words. So typical of his dear Ms. Meier to say this to him."Well…you are right you have not committed a mistake by disrespecting me that night, Ms. Meier," he spoke and then slightly tilted his head."You have committed a sin," he uttered, earning a growl from her which made hi

"Their name is Oliver and Lena and they are my best friends," sitting on the top of the table, the 3 years old toddler was telling her tall uncle about her friends. Different flavours of ice creams, chocolates and other kinds of food and snacks were placed all over her tiny frame on that table she was sitting on."Oliver is a boy and Lena is a girl," she told him, like her tall uncle was the stupidest person alive in existence. He patiently listened to her with a smile on his face and then extended another spoon of ice cream towards her tiny mouth. She happily ate it from his hand as she had requested her tall uncle to feed her after rejecting her mother's help who was sitting on another chair on that same table.While playing with that plate of food in front of her, Aniya's eyes were silently watching her daughter and her daughter's precious tall uncle who were conversing with each other, like her presence had become non existent for them. They were ignoring her completely, especiall
