2021-08-04 02:41:51"Mr. Moretti…." Ana was astounded. Everyone looked perplexed, however Jonathan broke the silence "Ana dear? Do you know Mr. Moretti?" They had completely forgotten that Anastasia was working as an intern at his company.
"Yes of course Mr. Kimberly! Anastasia here is an intern at Moretti's & Co. directly working under our famous designer Arthur Fabian." Lucian stated. "Oh yes! How could I forget? This is great, You are already well acquainted with each other, and that's even better for the future of this project" Jonathan exclaimed happily. "That's absolutely true Mr. Kimberly…..the future of this project does depend on Anastasia" Anastasia knew something was wrong and there was a hidden meaning behind his words. "Yes, Yes! Come on, Let's proceed for dinner" Kiara said leading everyone towards the dinning room. Cordelia had a complicated look on her face and was observing everyone especially the subtle eye contacts between Anastasia and Lucian, not missing th

"Why in the world do you think I will agree to this nonsense? You really are delusional if you think I will happily sign this marriage agreement Lucian. You are insane! I'm done with this!" Anastasia was livid. "And why do you think your opinion matters Babygirl? I'm not giving you any choice. You see, this is the only way for you to save your precious company from going bankrupt." He smirked. Ana was baffled and speechless "What do you mean by going bankrupt? What did you do Lucian?" She was frantic now. Her intuition was right. "Nothing much really, I along with your father invested in this interesting project, It was more like I persuaded your father to invest a large amount. Now I'm sure you know what will happen if I pull back the amount and back away from this project that your father is working so hard on. So why don't you be a good daughter and support him. Sign this agreement, Get married to me and there, Be the hero, and save everyone especially your father." He was happy

Anastasia woke up in an unfamiliar room and she panicked looking around trying to understand where she was. It was dark outside and the room was dimly lit. She suddenly recalled all the event and a lone tear again dropped down her eyes. The stormy night mirrored her emotions well. The man standing in the corner had observed everything from the moment she woke up "What's got you distracted babygirl?'' She was startled by the voice and flinched. Suddenly the lights were on and there stood Lucian, his gaze making her uncomfortable. It was as if he was trying to read her soul and unveil all the secrets buried deep in her heart. "How did I get here?" Her voice was heavy and her throat felt dry. Lucian walked forward and poured her a glass of water. When he handed the glass she looked at him skeptically. He rolled his eyes and sighed, "I know I have a reputation, but I won't poison you Ana, Go ahead it's just water" he didn't understand why he felt a little hurt because of her wariness. "

The morning light lit the room brightly waking Ana up. Her head was pounding because of the crying and thinking she had done last night. A maid entered the room at the same moment and conveyed Lucian's message to her "Maám, Young Master has requested you get ready and come down for breakfast. Here is a set of fresh clothes he has prepared for you. If you need anything please let me know" she said and placed the clothes on the bed. Anastasia had no reaction, she walked towards the bathroom and got ready for the day. She walked down and the same maid directed her towards the breakfast table. Lucian was already waiting for her. The moment he saw her he felt that the aura around her was different. She seemed different than usual, extremely calm and collected. She didn't seem like the woman who was crying her eyes out yesterday. He seemed satisfied with her but was still suspicious with the sudden change."We'll decide the date for the engagement today after I'm

After giving the news Ana got ready for work. She had to make a schedule for herself to manage between her internship and company. She didn't plan on jumping in two boats at once, but Lucian left her with no choice. She must get involved in order to stop him from causing any further damage. As soon as she entered the Moretti building, everyone started staring at her weirdly, but she failed to pay heed to any of it. "Good Morning Anastasia! Arthur was looking for you, he's waiting for you in his office" one of her colleagues informed her. "Thankyou!" She said and made her way towards his office. She knocked and heard a response immediately "Come In"."Good Morning Arthur! I heard you were looking for me." She stated and took a seat in front of him. He looked at her with a perplexed expression as if trying to gauge her reaction about something. "Are you feeling alright?" Arthur asked her suddenly. Ana was confused and asked him "Uhh… Yeah! Why wouldn't I be?"The

Anastasia, after leaving Arthur's office, went back to her workspace and got fixated on her work. She didn't realize that people around her were staring and murmuring. Nina heard the gossip going around the office and decided to warn Ana about the same, but she was too late. Jennifer had already approached Ana "Look at the woman who fell from grace. Did little Ana get abandoned by Hades? Well, I already knew from the start that you were another fling to him." She said smugly. "For the love of God! Can't I just work in peace?" Ana murmured to herself but Jennifer heard it anyway. "What? Can't be all high and Mighty without Hades?" Ana could finally hear everyone murmuring. She sighed, "I really want to know Jennifer… what do you work here as, because all I've seen you do is going around and being all bitchy about everything. As for Hades and I, We were never together in the first place, so why would I get abandoned by him? Get all your facts clear before accusing someone of al

After her work, Ana went to Lucian's office who was patiently waiting for her to come "Finally! What took you so long? Come on, Let's go. I've already made a reservation in an Italian restaurant, I hope you don't mind?" He asked."Since when did my opinion matter to you? Just blackmail me again like always" she said rolling her eyes and he chuckled. "Oh it does matter Babygirl! Just not when it comes to our marriage" he said while both of them walked out of his office. She rolled her eyes again but decided against saying anything more to him. 'What's up with me attracting such overbearing men' she thought to herself. Everyone again stared at them, Ana was uncomfortable as usual whereas Lucian was walking pridefully. He didn't mind showing off Ana to everyone. Lucian was a perfect gentleman when it came to women and Ana was surprised how well mannered he was. She sighed 'if only he wasn't so hell bent on his revenge, he would have achieved quite a lot, along with his mannerism

The atmosphere during dinner was awkward and silent. Anastasia was lost in thoughts and felt hurt. She wanted to leave and go home, but she knew she couldn't. Lucian was furious at Hades and Mia. He wanted to punch Hades as soon as he started degrading Anastasia, but she pulled him out of there and walked away without a word and now they were sitting there in silence. He could see that she was upset but still sat there with extreme poise and finesse. "Babygirl you shouldn't bother about whatever they said. You know none of it is true right?" Lucian tried comforting her. Ana chuckled at his words "Don't worry Mr. Moretti, I've never been someone who's needed other people's validation about myself. If they think about me in a certain way it's their problem, I'm not here to impress anyone or be in anyone's good books" she said curtly and continued eating. Lucian sighed, "You know Ana, I genuinely respect you a lot and that's the reason why I'm willing to marry you. My original revenge

The next day Hades met Jonathan in his office "Good Morning Mr. Kimberly! It's a pleasure to meet you again" he said and shook his hand. "Oh let go of the formalities Hades, I've already asked you to call me Jonathan the last time we met. Have a seat" They both sat down after their greetings "So what brings you here?" Jonathan asked. He was indeed curious about his visit. It was understandable that he wanted to talk about the project, but this was Hades we were talking about. Everyone in the industry knew that he has a team to deal with all the minor discussions and he only joined the meetings after everything was finalized. So his visit took Jonathan by surprise. "Well I am interested in the project you are working on with the Moretti's. I've gone through the details and I'd like to invest in it too." He said not wasting anymore time with unnecessary talks. "That's a surprise but I'm glad that you are interested. We'll have to set a meeting with Lucian too to discuss further on thi

Anastasia's POV-"Hades! Get your boys to come down soon, we are getting late for Nova's graduation" I yelled at my husband. Yes, you guessed it right, we have two boys, twins- Lucian and Lucius, complete brats. If it weren't for the fact that they were scared of Hades, I wouldn't have been able to manage those two. Nova is graduated today and I can't help but feel, how time flew by so quickly. Hades and I still manage our companies and prepare Nova to take over mine. I still remember how those had proposed to me, it still brings extreme joy to my heart. Hades finally did go for a cliché by going down on his knees and asking me to marry him. The most surprising part would be the whole ordeal with Nova. The sweet child went on her knees too and give me a stack of papers asking me to be her mother. Those were her adoption papers. I couldn't have been happier that day. "Mom, I can't find my socks" I heard Lucian yell from his room. I didn't even step forward when an

Even through her struggle, he managed to tie both her hands to the bedpost. She wriggled and screamed for him to leave her, but he didn't bat an eye. He was enjoying this. When her yells became too out of control, he gagged her with a cloth. "You need to relax darling, how are we going to enjoy this if you keep being a brat." He leaned forwards and wiped her tears, caressing her cheeks. "So beautiful!" She could see the admiration along with lust in his eyes. He pressed himself on her, making her cry out more. "No one can save you this time Ana, not even Hades. You are all mine now. I won't allow anyone to be an obstacle and if they wish to be, then they will end up like Cordelia too" His grin sent chills down her spine. She looked at him with wide eyes, surprised at what he said. 'Did he kill her?' Looking how he had all her attention "You are right darling! I killed her, along with that unborn child." She w

They reached the place after a while, she was still feeling anxious to be alone with him. When they entered the place, she immediately recalled her childhood. She tried to mask her sadness but he already noticed it. "Come on, Let's get you settled inside." She hesitantly walked inside, not knowing what to do anymore. She could only sweet-talk her way out of this situation. "Do you know why I have brought you here darling?" She resisted an urge to roll her eyes at his question and smiled instead "I believe, my surprise is due" He chuckled and sat beside her, giving her a file. She already knew what it was but feigned innocence. "Here!" She read the contents in the file and this time didn't hold back from rolling her eyes "These are the shares your wife transferred you. How is it a surprise for me" She kept the file on the table and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. These documents were fake, but he didn't h

Aurora had to stay up late at her office, to finish up some pending work. Since it was past work time everyone had almost left. "Ms. Pierce, do you need anything else?" Her assistant asked "No! I've got it. You can leave for the day" She smiled gratefully and her focus immediately went back on the work at hand. After a while her phone rang, breaking her focus "Baby girl, the lawyer just called. The documents had been successfully changed and you have all the shares in your hand now. Liam doesn't know about it. He thinks, Cordelia signed away everything to him and yes, the lawyer has been paid. He won't open his mouth." She leaned back with a winning smirk on her face. "Thank you, Lucian! I'll take it from here.""Wait! Are you still working? Why aren't you home yet?" He asked worriedly."I had some urgent matters to deal with, it's almost done. I'll in some time" She said while reading her files again. He sighed as he was used to her working overtime "Fine! Call me if

Liam woke up with a pounding headache and tried to adjust his eyes to the light in the room. He looked around to see an unfamiliar house 'Did I hook up last night?' He thought at first, but seeing that nothing was amiss he disregarded that possibility. "You're awake!" He turned when he heard a familiar voice was dumbfounded 'I spent the night with her!' His eyes widened and tried to recollect what had happened. "Good morning! Here's the medicine and there's the bathroom. Freshen up and have breakfast. My assistant is here if you need anything. I got to go." She said nonchalantly and walked out. By the time he regained his senses, she was already gone. 'What happened?' He was confused when his phone rang aggravating his headache even more. He took the medicine first and then answered the call "Liam!" He got irritated "What is it, Cordelia?" She gulped, "You need to come home. I have something to say to you. It

That evening Aurora was at home, busy designing. This had become her way to relax her nerves after a tiring day. She was fixated on it when her doorbell rang. She walked towards it confused and checked the time.' It's dinner time, Who would be here at this time.' She thought but opened the door anyway. Hades stood leaning to the wall with a bag of takeout in his hand. She shook her head and smiled at the man in front of her. "I'm sure, you haven't had your dinner yet" She broke the silence and walked inside. She took the bag from his hand "Ah! My savior!" She said dramatically and went to prepare the dinner table. "You are still so careless! When will you start taking care of yourself?" He asked exasperatedly. She placed her arms around his neck and he instinctively held her waist and pulled her close "If I start doing that, then why would I need you" She said and pecked his lips. His lips curved into a smile

After a few days, Liam had started getting restless. However, he didn't know how to approach the matter with Cordelia at a time like this so he decided to give her time. He knew she had asked his lawyers to prepare the documents. That day he decided to pay Aurora a visit, so he went to her company. When he reached there, her assistant asked him to wait as she was in a meeting. He waited there patiently for an hour, thinking that it was his fault for not informing or taking a prior appointment. After an hour her office door opening and he saw Hades walking out and Aurora tailing behind him. Hades turned around and pecked her lips bidding her goodbye. Liam's frustration at this couldn't be controlled. His nostrils flared and his jaw clenched at the scene that unfolded in front of him. Hades walked away and it seemed like she didn't notice him standing there. After a few minutes, her assistant came and asked Lia

Liam came out of the bathroom and found her sitting in a daze "We should head back tomorrow. I have a few important things to take care of urgently" She was about to acknowledge and agree with him when her phone rang "Hello?" She said without checking the caller ID "Mrs. Arden, it's your mother…she...She's dead" Cordelia was surprised by the news and she felt incredulous. "How? What happened? She was fine when we left" uncontrollable tears came out of her eyes. Liam looked at her with confusion and stood beside her. "The doctor said she suffered a cardiac arrest" A hand flew up to her mouth and she sobbed uncontrollably. "Cordelia, What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?" He couldn't understand what was going on. "Liam, we need to go back now. It's mom! She's dead." One could see the surprise in his eyes, however, the sudden turn of events made him anxious 'Urgh! I had finally manipulated this stupid woman to give me everything and I was so close to getting it. That old ha

When Liam came back to their room, he saw Cordelia waiting for him. He ignored her and walked towards the bathroom. However, before he could enter he heard her calling him. He looked at her annoyed but didn't say anything, "You wanted me to prove to you that I loved you right? I've called my lawyer and asked him to prepare the share transfer documents. I don't care if I have anything or not, all I want is you to be with me, Liam. Promise me that you won't leave me" She asked, tears falling through her eyes. She looked defeated and tired, if it was someone else then they would have found her pitiful. Liam was happy but his face was brimming with apathy. He scoffed "Stop fooling me Cordelia, I won't believe you till I see those papers signed by you in my hands. I won't believe your words, for all I know you could just be trying to coax me to not divorce you " He turned but she stopped him again"No, these aren't just empty words. As soon as we reach back home, I'll complete the formali
