A love to die for....

I woke up suddenly, my body burning with heat and my throat dry. Water... I needed water. I looked around frantically and found it on my nightstand. My breathing was still heavy. I guess it was a bad dream but it felt too real. I relaxed and looked around but I was perplexed. I was in my room. The room I used before my marriage. I remember giving it to Cordelia. This didn't make any sense, how did I come here. I was out shopping for ........my hand went to my stomach and eyes wide. I stood up from my bed to look around and suddenly looked into the mirror. My eyes widened in horror. It was me but the younger me. How? What happened? And then I realized that it wasn't a dream. It had all happened in real. I was killed! I had lost my baby. I couldn't help but mourn my unborn child. But how did I went back in time? There were so many questions running through my mind. Suddenly the door burst open and Cordelia came in crying. She came and hugged me " oh my god Ana I thought u would die. W

I was walking towards my classroom when a hand covered my eyes. I panicked at first until I heard her voice "Guess who?". I smiled and turned around hugging her tightly. It was Ashley my best friend who has always been more of a sister than Cordelia could ever be. Last life I had lost connection with her, Cordelia made sure of that. She too didn't like Liam and warned me about him time and again. I had it coming after how I had treated the people who genuinely loved me and looked out for me. I promise I'll cherish it this time. As soon as we turned around to head to our class I bumped into Liam. I immediately took a step back and pulled Ashley towards the class without sparing him another glance. Even though I put up a strong front, my heart wasbeating fast, if I would have been around him another minute I would have smacked him. Ashley however was stunned, she didn't expect me to behave this way. She knew how crazy I was for him but little did she know that the same craziness l

I was relaxing and analyzing a few designs from the design magazine when Cordelia barged into my room "Ana did you reject Liam? Why would you do that? Didn't you love him and wanted to be with him?" She was shaking with anger but I could see that she was trying to keep her emotions in check. I rolled my eyes " yes Cori, I rejected him so what? And no I didn't love him it was just a meaningless crush." She looked like she would punch me any minute now. I just gave her a bored look and continued reading. She snatched the magazine from my hand and kept it aside. She was trying to act like a sweet and caring sister "Ana is everything okay? I know you are in a denial. I know you still love him, why don't you give him a chance and I know he loves you too, or he wouldn't have asked you out." She was looking at me expecting me to give in to her sugar-coated lies " you sure know him well, don't you Cordelia? How do you know he loves me, and he's good for me? How do you know he wouldn't break

Anastasia wanted to smack him so hard "And why would I want to agree to any of your demands Mr. Shaw, I will just shout for help and I'm sure someone would be willing to help me" he raised his eyebrows challenging her however she knew her threats were useless, everyone knew who he was and wouldn't even bat an eye to help her. "Fine tell me what are your demands your majesty" rolling her eyes her tone dripping with sarcasm. He smirked "First, you will start calling me Hades, no more Mr. Shaw." she rolled her eyes again, she did that a lot with him she thought. "Second, I'm taking you on a date as soon as this competition is over" he stated more than asked. She was about to protest when he continued "If I hear a no, it'll not be you just trapped in my arms Anastasia, I'm the judge of the competition remember?" Hades felt guilty to blackmail her with the competition, but he knew she was too stubborn for her own good and this was the only way. Anastasia on the other hand hated to be in

The participants were called on stage for the announcement. The host announced the top 5 names while Anastasia was anticipating a positive result. "I'll be announcing the names according to the scores they've received by the judges," the host said. "Jason Miller, fifth rank; Rosalind Jefferson, fourth rank; Maria Rodriguez, third rank; And finally the top two are Thomas Edward, second rank and now for the star of today's round Anastasia Kimberly." She sighed in relief when she heard her name, and she didn't know why but her eyes immediately locked with Hades. He already had her eyes on her, and he beamed with pride. His woman was amazing in every aspect, he thought to himself. Now she only had to surpass the third round which she felt was easy yet tricky at the same time. The third round consisted of the name and idea behind the design. The participants had to present the same design worn by them to the judges again. She had a perfect name and description for her dress, it had mirro
