All Chapters of Beyond The Time: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Open your eyes my child." I heard a female voice. As I opened my eyes and looked around, it was some unknown place. And then I remembered about my baby. As I looked down on my belly, my baby bump was gone. "My baby! Where is my baby? Why am I here? What place is it.?" I asked the lady. I couldn't hold my tears at the thought of losing my baby. "You and your baby have died. This is the world of souls. " That lady said. "Died? What nonsense are you saying? My baby can't die. Who are you? Why are you saying ridiculous stuff?" I shouted at her. "She is your mother, my princess. '' a voice came from behind. I need not turn around to tell who it is. I've been dying to hear this voice again. "Dad," I whispered as fresh tears formed in my eyes. I ran to him and hugged him tightly as if my life depends on that hug. "I missed you so much dad. Why did you leave me? You know after you left Lucas and Natasha, they killed your grandchild . I couldn't protect my baby. I couldn't protect you.

"As you all know, after the betrayal by my so-called fiance, I can't trust anyone. My father worked so hard to build this empire. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands. So from now onwards, I'm going to handle the business on my own." I said, and everyone nodded in understanding."We are glad that you finally decided to follow your father's step," one of the shareholders said.I heard the door open, and someone walked in," Sorry for being late, I hope I didn't miss anything important. " I was shocked to see him."What are you doing here, Mr Rodriguez?" I asked through gritted teeth. He is the last person I would expect to be here."To attend the meeting, obviously," he said amusingly. "Excuse me?" I raised my brows at him."You are excused, Miss Martin. I'm also a shareholder of your company. I've purchased 20% of the shares, so I've every right to be in this meeting,"he announced to my utter shock. "So, let's continue," he said and settled on an empty chair.The whole meeting wa

"Find out that girl Maria and bring her right here." I told my bodyguard."Okay, sir."All these years, I was not even aware of all the shit that happened behind my back. I couldn't figure out why Alina started avoiding me suddenly. I thought she must have figured out that I liked her and she wasn't comfortable about that fact. That's why she was ignoring me. Only if I would have mustered courage to confront her about that.I want to meet her, I should get going, probably. I probably don't know what I would do if she won't believe me, but I can't just let go of her just like that. I drove to her place and rang the bell."What are you doing here?" She asked."We need to talk ." I said ."I don't think there is anything to talk about." She replied coldly. " Alina, believe me, I had nothing to do with Maria. She was lying to you." I tried to persuade her."I don't believe you anymore, Anton Rodriguez. " I growled. "Alina, just give me a chance to explain. " I requested her." You had

"Can I really do this?" Alina was very nervous as she had an important business meeting. She has no experience in the business field, so she is not confident enough. "You can do it, Alina. I'm here with you." Anton tried to encourage her."But I don't know anything about business. After Lucas's betrayal, I decided to take over business without even realising that it's not my cup of tea to handle it." She said. " I can help you with this." Anton said confidently. "Really?" Her eyes lit up with hope."But I have one condition. " He said. "What?" "You won't shut down your art gallery. " He replied. "But I have to focus on business now." Alina said. "Alina, your real passion is art, and your dad would have never wanted you to give up on your passion, so please don't give up. I can help you manage the business as much as I can." Anton said. Alina hugged him tightly, " Thank you so much for supporting me. ""It's my pleasure. "Then Anton guided Alina about the business and how to h

"Thanks for dropping me home." Alina bid goodbye to Anton."Take care." Anton said. "Are you going to stand here?" She asked."I'll go after watching you entering the door safely. " Anton said. "Why are you being so sweet all of a sudden?" She chuckled. "I was born sweet. " he smirked. "Not again." She rolled her eyes and walked towards the door.When she was about to unlock the door, it was already unlocked. Anxiety rushed in her.She quickly stepped in, and her eyes widened in horror. She quickly stepped out and went to Anton. "What happened ? Are you missing me already?" he was teasing her, but her expressions made her worried. "What's wrong, Alina?" his voice softened. "There-there..." she was sobbing hard pointing towards her house. "Shhhhh, calm down. It's alright, don't cry." he hugged her."I'll just go inside and check on it." He said."No, you are not going. Don't leave me. Please." Seeing the pain in her eyes, his heart was aching. "Okay, fine. I'm not leaving you.
