View More--After two years-- (Anastasia's POV)It's my wedding day. Of course, Caleb is the groom.I'm getting married to Caleb for the second time, and this time, with our one-year-old angels, Lia and Leo. The Carter twins.I was already in my wedding gown which Aunt Susan and Ally helped me into and was currently retouching my make up which I didn't find necessary but Ally insisted. And this time, I was wearing the Pnina Tornai A-line gown with a floral long sleeve, keyhole back, and long chiffon skirt with no slit in the middle. You don't know what face Caleb made when he saw me wearing the original Pnina Tornai gown, that's why I decide to alter it since he was also against me, wearing a sexy outfit. Which is new to me."Oh my God, Ana! you look gorgeous!" Samantha exclaimed.Remember the girls from the camp, they're all here, showing support for my big day.However, on one of my second happiest days, my family is not present. Although Ally is here, Adam was not. I sent an invitation a
(Third Person POV)Anastasia woke up, she squinted her eyes when she felt someone tapping her arm, continually. She shielded her eyes using her arms, cause of the light coming in through the windows.The tap on her arm began again, and she could hear a familiar voice, as if she'd heard that voice before, calling her name as slowly regained consciousness.As Anastasia slowly began to regain consciousness. She finally fully opened her eyes, looking at the owner of the woman's voice. It's Caroline, the wedding organizer.Her brows creased, confused about where is she and why is she here.Her eyes wander around, confused at where she was sitting. She was inside the car, sitting in the long chair that she believe, it's a Limousine. Headache struck her again, and she was about to massage her temple when she finally noticed her arm, her clothes, her shoes... 'Why... Why am I wearing a wedding gown? Where's Caleb? Am I back in Italy?'All her memory's started coming back to her slowly. The
(Caleb's POV)Opening my eyes they instantly settled on the head of tangled hair laid upon my chest.I smiled at Anastasia's body, wrapped around mine. Her arms curled around my chest and our legs were intertwined.She wore my discarded dress shirt, but it rose to give me the perfect view of her round ass and silky legs. My dick hardened at the sight.I carefully maneuvered myself from underneath the woman on top of me. She let out a soft groan and instantly turned over cuddling up to the pillow next to her. Smiling at the sight, I went to my dresser to throw on some boxers and sweatpants. Looking back to Anastasia on the bed, I've longed for this feeling, waking up every day to the sight of her in front of me.I deeply sigh, remembering the night I got the call from Moris, the guy I appointed to watch Anastasia for a year in Italy, up until now.She escape from her mansion and headed straight to the airport. I was relieved that she decided to go to Miami, while I was investigating i
(Anastasia's POV)Caleb check in another hotel as he was not sure if the place I got was secure. We decided to stay here until when will we reached our plan.As soon as we entered the room. His lips pressed against mine, and his hands roamed my body before settling down on my lower back. My arms snaked around his neck, holding firmly before moving my lips to meet his rhythm. We were in sync.Following his lead, securing my legs around his toned waist. His arms hold on to me, keeping me locked into him while supporting my weight. He turned, pivoting us in the direction of the bedroom. A squeal slipped through my lips at the sudden movement, breaking the kiss. In turn, my grip on him firmed up even more, my fear of falling leading me to do so."Relax, love," he laughed before kicking close the door. I turned my head to assess the room. It was massive, with a king-size bed sitting in the middle. It had floor-to-ceiling windows but they were covered with a curtain. The furniture was moder
(Anastasia's POV)I waded in a pile of clothes, half-bohemian, half-sophisticated socialite. The former, I felt compelled to buy but never wore. Mother seemed quietly disapproving of anything yellow and nonconformist, and I took peace signs seriously.Until now, apparently, I packed colors brighter than the sun into a new medium size bag. I dressed the part in a loose blouse, checker-print cigarette pants, and white ankle boots. I caught my reflection in the mirror: an emotionless and distressed woman.On my way to the door, I stopped to unclasp my pearl necklace and dropped it into my jewelry box. Then, I wound up the ballerina, setting her on a lonely pirouette, before I tiptoed down the stairs at three in the early morning.Passing Mom's bedroom door, I tiptoed, trying to not create a single creek in the floor, to not wake her soul, and found out my escape plan.My nerves played havoc as I disabled the home alarm, expecting Lily and the other maids to hear the quiet beep and come o
(Anastasia's POV)I gape up at the ceiling in deep thought. What the hell did I get myself into? My life is going to take a drastic turn from this point if I would not do something to prevent this so-called wedding.Enough thinking, I don't want to think anymore. I grab my grey sleeping robe and put it on without tying it. While walking to the bathroom, I tie my hair into a messy bun and wash my face.I just realized I haven't washed my face when the wedding organizers entered my room earlier. That was one embarrassing scene to start my day.Why did they have to walk inside just for the wedding gown fitting? Well, it's pretty obvious that it was Grandfather's doing.Sighing while staring at the mirror, I have had this thought running through my head since this morning.Should I run away with Caleb?I mean... I can still reach out to Alice through social media. She's into social media these days. That was possible. So, why not?Running to my bed and reach for the laptop on my bedside
(Anastasia's POV)I was woken up by a tap on my leg, I yawned and shielded my eyes cause of the light coming in through the windows.The tap on my leg continued, and I could hear Lily's voice, one of our servants, calling my name as slowly regained consciousness."Good morning, madam Anastasia," she said, smiling at me.I did my normal yawning and moaning waking-up routine until finally, I was fully awake, I rubs my eyes to fully see Lily beside the bed wearing a worried face."Good morning, Lily. I'll skip breakfast today." I started, yawning."Uhmm, Madam, the wedding organizers have arrived for the wedding gown fitting." My eyes widened and abruptly jerk off the bed, I feel like Lily had just thrown freezing water on my face as blood started to drain my face."W-What?"A knock on the door resonated in my ears. Are they really here?Is it already the end of the week?Why was it so fast?Lily opened the door and heaps of wedding gowns, hung on different five clothing racks with whe
(Anastasia's POV)"My apologies for the Chairman's decision but we will never continue this project." Disappointment and haze plastered on each of their faces. Even though I, was heartbroken by my grandfather's conclusion, he never looks to the effort, he focus on the outcome. If he does not like it, he calls it trash, but if it is to his liking, he will call it a great job.He never listens to his subordinate. Well, he is the Chairman, why would he listen to the people below him? He did not even listen to my reasoning, and I stopped myself from persuading him not to cancel the proposal we have."What happened, Madam?" Mina asked with a haze on her face.I deeply sigh, "He already knew that we were scammed. I won't blame any of you if ever someone in here tattles it to him but, let us just hope for the best.""Can you at least persuade him?" Elise muttered and I can sense the annoyance in her tone. Through my peripheral vision, Mina gives her an eye.I smiled, "He has the power, whil
