Anastasia's Pov

I had just taken a warm shower and my body was still damp from all of it. I looked at my reflection in the mirror situated in front of the dressing table and it reminded me of Jace's and I fight the previous day. I shook my head as though that would cleanse the memory from my brain.

I grabbed a bottle and applied cream on my entire body. Then I looked at the mirror and saw a bruise on my forehead which was caused by Jace slamming my head into the dressing table. There were also multiple bruises on the sides of my face which made me feel hideous. My hands also had their share of bruises which made me feel weak and useless because it was a symbol of my inability to protect myself in front of Jace. I grabbed onto the dressing table and cried and when I got tired of it, I, myself went to wash my face and apply makeup to cover up the bruises but unfortunately, I couldn't get rid of the bruise on my forehead so I intensified it with the art of my makeup. Then I added a littl

    Anastasia's Pov Brrrrm!The sound of a doorbell echoed, causing Jace to place the tray of food on my lap and stand on his feet."Seems like we have company, I'll go and see what it's about." Jace walked out the door, and I placed the tray aside, having no real appetite to eat. For some reason, I felt so anxious as though something bad was going to happen.Not long after, Jace walked in with a tense expression on his face. "Apparently you have a guest, Anastasia.""Well, that's surprising, who is it?" Apart from Stacy, I didn't think Scarlet had anyone close that I was aware of."I don't know, guess you'd have to find out for yourself."I shrugged and walked down the hallway and down the stairs. Jace was silently following after me.When I reached the peak of the stairs I noticed a woman sitting on the sofa with her back facing me. "You asked for me, here I am," I said as I reached the bottom of the stairs.The woman seemed to hurriedly turn around to face me, and that was when I felt

    Anastasia's PovAfter her sentence, my heart shook a tiny bit but I took the trouble to lean into her more, like I was not afraid and her words meant nothing to me.I flipped my hair back and tucked my hair behind my ear. "I thought we already got through that, love." I leaned forward and placed a hand on Lucy's shoulders. "In case you didn't get that earlier I'm not going to push through with it. But I'm just going to have you know that I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a stranger about insignificant things." With that I turned about, "I'm not going to see you out," I said as I headed back to the house.I felt Lucy's burning glare as I walked but I paid it no mind. Stacy's PovI halted in my steps and watched as Scarlet had a conversation with a girl I'd never seen before. Who was she? I wondered.It seemed Scarlet didn't take a liking to her from her which made me wonder who exactly she was. I kept watching and I noticed Scarlet place a hand on the girl's shoulder a

    Lucy's Pov As the door slammed shut, my mom was right in my face giving me a confused stare. "Lucy you're back."I reduced the urge to roll my eyes or say something snarky."Yes, I am," I reply."Did you find out if that woman was really Scarlet?" "Don't get me started," I walked past my mom to settle down on a couch. "Yes," I remembered the conversation I had with Scarlet and sighed. She was the direct opposite of whatever Anastasia was and she had the forehead mark and dot near her lips as in the picture. I shrugged, feeling absolutely disgusted at the thought of me embarrassing myself thinking Scarlet was Anastasia the entire time. There was just no way Anastasia could be that brave."Are you sure of what you're saying?""Yes or else I wouldn't be here!" I was beginning to get irritated."Where is Anastasia then?" "I really don't know and I don't care! Can you stop asking?"Mom sighed and then said, "I'm just worried you're being deceived. How can there be someone who looks like

Where on earth was he going? I asked myself before sending someone to check on her."Sir, I couldn't find her" they reported back to me."Where on earth was she? Did she get out of the house?" I spoke nothing understanding her stubbornness, I dismissed the guard before taking a sip of wine from my glass.After what seem to be a long time I could see Scarlett walking back with an irritating smile plastered across her face.Was she smiling? Smiling! My stomach curled and I couldn't wait to remove the smile on her fucking face.I walked into the room in rage only to find Scarlett already changed her clothes, she w

What proof was he talking about, I could just struggle the life out of him if he wasted my life with this proof nonsense. "What proof?"
