The room was dark.Not because there was no electricity, but because Anastasia didn't want her landlord to know she was inside.The only light in the room came from the laptop sitting on the table. Beside it was a bowl of cereal she was having for dinner.There were bills scattered all over her work desk.RentElectricityInternetDebt noticesAnastasia stared at the bills for a while before pushing them to the side with a tired sigh. "I'll deal with you later," she mumbled.She continued eating as she refreshed her page. There were no new stories."Maybe I should go out tomorrow in search of anything".

The alarm buzzed for the third time that morning, Anastasia finally stirred in her sleep.She blinked twice, before she turned over.

No way out

Walker Mansion.... The Walker mansion was unusually quiet. The long dining table that could seat more than twenty people was already set for dinner. Crystal glasses sparkled beneath the chandelier, and the aroma of expensive meals filled the room. Yet no one reached for their cutlery. They were waiting. The black SUV stopped in front of the entrance. The front door opened. Slow, measured footsteps echoed through the mansion. Damien Walker walked in without the slightest sign of panic, his black suit sleek as ever. His face was void of any particular emotion. Every pair of eyes in the dining room followed him. Some with concern. Some with curiosity. And a few with satisfaction. Damien glanced around the table before pulling out a chair. "You wanted to see me." "Is that all you have to say?" His father said. "I'm sure you know the reason why we wanted to see you." His stepmother added. "The food is getting cold." Grandpa said quietly. "Eat." The older man ordered. Th

The proposal

The morning came far too quickly. Anastasia barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, the same words echoed in her mind. $500 billion. Walker Enterprises. 10:00 a.m. She sat at the edge of her bed, staring blankly at the legal notice resting on the small wooden table. It hadn't magically disappeared overnight. Neither had the fear twisting i her stomach. Windy rubbed against her leg, letting out a soft meow. Anastasia forced a weak smile and bent down to stroke the little cat's head. "I wish my biggest problem was deciding what to eat today," she whispered. Windy purred in response, completely unaware that its owner was one bad decision away from losing everything. A knock sounded on the door. "Ann, are you ready?" Kelly called from outside. "Almost." Kelly stepped in without waiting for permission. She was dressed as elegantly as ever, yet the worry on her face was impossible to hide. "You don't have to do this alone, you know. I can come with you, Ann." "No, K

A way out

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Anastasia stepped out of Walker Enterprises with unsteady legs. She was still in shock. "Marry me." Those two words kept ringing in her ears. It sounded absurd. Impossible. She had walked into Walker Enterprises expecting lawyers, negotiations and perhaps one final chance to apologize. Instead, the person whose reputation and business she had unintentionally destroyed, offered her a marriage proposal. Or perhaps an ultimatum. Anastasia tightened the grip on the legal notice in her hand. She did not know if she was supposed to be happy or sad, she felt so confused and tired. She looked around. Everybody was going about their normal lives. "What have you gotten yourself into, Ann?" She sighed. Her heart felt heavy. There was only one place she wanted to be right now. Home. Not her apartment she was trying to save, but her actual home, where she could see her mother and brother. She arrived in front of her mother's restau

The contract

Anastasia regained her balance quickly and placed some distance between them. "I'm sorry I'm late. I had an emergency." She said without meeting his eyes. He took in her appearance. She actually did look like she had run from somewhere. "Have a seat." Damien ushered her inside the office. “The amused look on Xavier's face didn't go unnoticed by Damien. He rolled his eyes at him. After a few seconds, with Anna taking deep breaths under Xavier's piercing gaze. Damien finally spoke. "What's your decision?" Anastasia looked at Xavier, with a hint of doubt. "Don't worry about him. You can speak." Damien assured her. "Okay." "I accept your proposal." She said quietly. "Holy shit." Xavier screamed, earning him a glance from Damien. "Sorry." He apologized quickly. "Mr Walker, I have some conditions too." The smile on Xavier's face faded. He knew what could be going through her head right now. It definitely had to be money. "Go on, tell me." Damien urged her. "I-I just want
