2021-08-20 07:53:09Arthur reached her place in 25 minutes. Ana was waiting for him patiently and received him at the door "Sorry for bothering you at this hour Arthur." She was feeling guilty of troubling him.
"Don't worry darling. The person who should apologize is that idiot. Why is he going around getting drunk and bothering others? Where is he anyway?" He asked, looking around for him. "He's upstairs sleeping. I was waiting for you to wake him up." She said and started walking towards her room.When they reached the room, Arthur tried to wake him up but there was no response whatsoever. He jerked him even more forcefully and Hades let out a groan of annoyance "Ana…." he whispered. Hearing him calling out to her, her heart skipped a beat. Arthur huffed in annoyance and after sometime managed to make him stand. Hades was staggering while Arthur tried to support him. Ana went on the other side and crossed his other hand over her shoulder. Both of them took him downstairs and towardsRelated chapters
A love to die for.... Chapter 53: The meeting
Anastasia was woken up by the sound of her ringing phone. She looked at the caller ID and saw her father calling "Good morning dear. Sorry to have woken you up so early, I wanted to inform you that I and Kiara would be staying here for a few days till your grandmother gets better." He said."How is she now? What did the doctor say?" She asked worried. "She suffered from a heart attack. They've kept her under observation and gave us a list of things that need to be taken care off." He informed.Ana suddenly realized that it was her engagement today "What about the engagement father?" She asked. Even if it wasn't to her liking, she wanted her father present. She might as well postpone it or just go and talk to Lucian regarding the information and break it off. "Oh don't worry about it. I've spoken to Lucian already, he agreed to postpone it till we come back." Ana sighed hearing this 'Hopefully there might be no engagement at all by the time you come back' she thought. "Well

There was an awkward vibe surrounding both Hades and Anastasia till the meeting started. Later they got fixated on the presentation and forgot about the awkwardness. She was quite surprised with the investment plan that Shaw Enterprises had presented. It was more than enough to bring her out of her situation. Lucian would have no leverage over her. Even if he plans to pull out his investment, with Hades being a part of the project they would easily get other investors on board. Hades had noticed how satisfied she looked with the plan and decided he would give a raise to the people who worked on this. "I'm satisfied with what you have offered, I guarantee the returns will be tenfold. We can go ahead and sign the contract." Ana said, trying to be as professional as she could because all she could think was his words from last night which made her heart flutter. They proceeded with the signing and then completed the remaining procedures. "May I have a chat with you in private Ms. Kimbe

Anastasia rushed out of his office, angry tears falling from her eyes. She thought that she could finally get rid of that man, but she only gets trapped more and more into the endless pit of his blackmailing. Lucian felt guilty for what he said but he was desperate, desperate to keep her in his life, and even if he had to be the villain he wouldn't mind it. Anastasia realized she was still at her workplace and tried calming herself. She rushed to her desk and distracted herself with the designs. There was a presentation in an hour, where Arthur would select the best designs for the upcoming show. It wasn't much for others but to Anastasia, it meant the world. Even after all the turmoils in her life, she had managed to finish most of her designs with sheer dedication. She was hoping that Arthur would select at least one of her designs. The time flew by fast and she prepared herself for the result, however, during the presentation she was lost. Arthur noticed this and knew something w

Hades was restless throughout the drive to the hospital. He had never been this scared and helpless in his life. She still ended up getting injured even after he tried his best to reach her in time. He couldn't even think of the what-ifs. Anastasia didn't think about it much and thought it was just her carelessness and she cannot blame someone else for it. She had already been too stressed with everything that was going on in her life. They reached the hospital and Hades rushed her towards the doctor. She wanted to laugh at his behavior, and she felt bad for finding a worried Hades cute but she also realized she felt warm and safe whenever he was around her. She had been in love with Liam and had given up everything for him in her last life but what she felt around with Hades was different. The smallest of affection that he showed her stirred her heart. She sighed and looked at him when he was busy with the receptionist filling up her details. The doctor patched her up and assured a

Lucian felt hurt by her words but held a stoic face. He knew he was wrong and that's the reason he had come to apologize to her. However, her words stirred the monster inside him. "Doesn't matter what you think Anastasia, you have no choice but to marry me. It doesn't matter where your heart lies. I want you and that's enough. If it means I have to hurt your family in the process I will, so don't test my patience and if you talk to me the way you just did, I won't hesitate to ruin that pretty little mouth of yours. This is your final warning. Another disrespect and I wouldn't care about the only choice I've given you, that is to choose a date to marry and keep your family happy. I'd gladly force you into signing the marriage agreement without a second thought. Am I understood?" He said curtly. She glared at him and without a word she ran towards a room shutting her door with a loud bang. Lucian sighed "All I want is your love baby girl, but you force me into being the villain

She reached home and couldn't help but wonder why there were so many cars outside her house 'Did he bring people to harm them?' thinking she rushed inside only to find Lucian and another couple are sitting and chatting with her parents. The most insane part of it was that Hades was present too. 'What in the world is going on?' She thought and stood there agape. No one noticed her standing there until Cordelia spoke out loud "Finally you are back Ana! Come on in, don't make your in-law wait so much for you" She said cheerfully, enjoying the situation Ana was in. She looked around again and everyone had their eyes on her. She gave a tight-lipped smile and walked inside. "Oh my! She is beautiful Lucian. I'm glad you finally found someone who matched our status. She is definitely better than the last one." Lucian's mother said disdainfully. "I hope you won't lose this one to Hades too." She said mocking at her own son. Lucian clenched his jaw but didn't say anything and Ana grimaced at

After the Morettis left, Jonathan had asked Ana to meet him in his study. She helped Kiara with clearing out the table and made her way to the study. "Is everything alright father? You look stressed. Is grandma alright?" She asked as soon as she entered. He waved his hand around and asked her to sit. There was complete silence and Anastasia didn't understand what her father was thinking. He looked stressed and that made her anxious, but before she could speak he said: "If I ask you something will you tell me the truth, Anastasia?" He looked serious and all the usual playfulness he had was absent. She gulped already anticipating the question he might ask. She nodded not being able to answer, her throat felt dry all of a sudden. "Then tell me the real reason for agreeing to be with Lucian Moretti! I know for a fact that you don't love him and you have absolutely no reason to be with him. I don't understand why did you agree so easily?" HE probed genuinely confused about the reason. Sh

Cordelia had seen Anastasia and Hades meet. As usual, she panicked and called Mia, but she didn't answer. She became even more frustrated "Where the hell is she at such a crucial time? If this keeps going on I bet that we'll fail again." For the next 20 minutes, she tried contacting Mia but to no avail. She gave up and decided she'll handle it in the morning.The next day everyone except Anastasia was surprised when they heard the news of Hades breaking off his engagement. Ana was calm and collected as the matter didn't concern her. Cordelia on the other hand had the opposite reaction 'What the hell is going on? They broke off their engagement! Where is Mia?' She became restless thinking about everything. 'If Hades is not tied up with her now he will definitely try and stop Ana's engagement with Lucian and that won't work…..But now since Mia is not responding, will Lucian help her against Ana? He seems to be interested in her now. Urgh! Where did the bitch run off so s

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
