Anastasia felt that the atmosphere at Moretti & Co. was tense. The whole city by now knew how Lucian was involved with the underworld. She could see officers coming in and going out frequently trying to investigate his case. Her colleagues looked at her with pity as the news also involved their engagement. She didn't bother to respond and walked hastily to her workspace. She wouldn't be able to explain to them how she was relieved with the outcome. When she reached the designing department, everyone went silent. She sighed, knowing very well what those looks meant. After a while, Arthur called her up to his office. She entered and saw the entire team was waiting there already.
"Since everyone is already here I'll start. As you know the situation of the company now, the other companies have taken the advantage of this situati
Anastasia asked Jonathan to go home rather than going with her to the police station. He didn't know that she had already received threats and she didn't want him to worry. As she reached she saw Hjades waiting for her. He had a plaster on his hand to support his shoulder and looked weak. She grimaced and wanted to scold him for being so irresponsible. Hades knew what she was thinking and before she could reprimand him he smiled "You are here finally. Let's go" Acting as if he didn't notice her scrutinizing gaze on him. She shook her head and walked behind him."We've tried to get information from the man. He said that he was paid to shoot you Ms. Kimberly and Mr. shaw informed us that someone has already attempted to harm you earlier as well, Am I right?" The officer asked."Yes, I've received a message as well" She informed. The officer nodded, "Do you have any suspects, any grudges with anyone or enemies you have a doubt on" He inquired. "Well, there is one person I
She avoided eye contact with him till she left his place. She made sure that he ate and took his medicines before leaving. "It was worth taking a bullet for you. If I had known earlier that this would bring you to care for me I would have already done it." He said, his eyes dancing with mirth. He enjoyed how she blushed and tried to hide it. He noticed how she rubbed her cheeks when she was flushed.The next morning, Anastasia was in for a surprise. When she stepped into Moretti & Co., the last person that she expected to see was Lucian 'That was fast. I knew he would get out, but this is too fast' She thought. He had called for her as soon as she stepped into the company. She was already prepared to face him and knew that he would continue with his blackmailing. She sighed and entered his office "Hello baby girl!" He said with an unusual smile on his face. "Well, I didn't expect to see you soon." She said curtly. He chuckled "As you can see having connections does
Hades was waiting for her impatiently. He had ordered the staff to cook all her favorite dishes. He would have cooked them himself but he couldn't. When Ana entered the house she was taken back by the aroma throughout the house. Hades walked towards her and guided her to the dinner table. Her eyes filled with excitement looking at all the dishes in front of her. She looked at him with a thankful gaze. "How was your day, love?" He started the conversation."Lucian's back," She said and he stiffened at her words. He dropped his fork and looked at her seriously, all his playfulness gone. "He shouldn't have been out till the next week. I've been talking to a few higher authorities who might be able to help with his case…..Did he say anything to you?" He was worried that Lucian might have used some underhanded means again. She
Anastasia's POV-Finally, it's the weekend! I can sleep In late. Since I've started my internship and helping father at the same time I haven't got any rest. To top that there was Lucian's drama that I had to handle. Thankgod! That's over now. I'm still skeptical about his abrupt change but let's just go with the flow. As I tried going back to sleep my phone buzzed making me groan.I looked at the clock at my nightstand only to see it was 7 in the morning. Who in their right mind calls so early in the morning on a weekend? I half sleepily answered the call "Yes?" Silently dozing off. "Ms. Kimberly, it's Mr. Shaw….Please come here as fast as you can" the voice said making me wide awake. Worry filled me as I thought about possible things that might have happened to him "I'm on my way" I said and hung up. I didn't bother changing, just washed my face, and ran downstairs. "Please be okay! Please be okay!" The unshed tears made their way down my cheeks.
I took a shower and wore the sundress he had prepared for me. Hades could always surprise me with the way he planned our dates. It was unique and unpredictable and I found myself enjoying every time. When he said he wanted to take me on a date yesterday I was looking forward to it but didn't know that we would end up going so soon. I made my way downstairs and saw him waiting for me near the dining table. "Soooo, where are we going?" I asked for the hundredth time, making him groan "Patience is a virtue love. We will be leaving after having breakfast, you'll know once we reach there" His statement again made me excited and couldn't wait to see what he had planned. I ate my breakfast hastily so that we could leave and start our day together. He could sense my excitement and kept smiling at me throughout breakfast. After breakfast, he led me to the parking. He was dressed casually, so I guessed we were having leisure time somewhere and it wouldn't be something fancy. "Let's play 21 qu
I looked around confused by his absence. The captain approached me "Ms. Kimberly I was instructed to take you to that island once you are done here" He informed pointing towards the island I spoke about with Hades. "Where's Hades?" I asked curiously, it was unlike Hades to leave me alone like this. "He's asked me to give this to you" He handed me an envelope. I hesitated and took it from his hand before opening it.Love,I would not lie and say that I fell in love with you the very first time I saw you but I also would not deny the fact that your personality has left an impact on me, and I realized that you made me happy. I noticed the twinkle in your eyes whenever your favorite song was played, I noticed your eye roll when people covered disrespect with humor. People saw you as the pretty girl next door, but to me, you were so much more than that. You are a strong woman who does not need people to keep you happy. I feel you yourself are enough and that is
I walked hastily towards the door but walking slowly down the stairs because of the heels. As soon as I looked up and stopped. There stood Hades as charming and handsome as always in a black tuxedo smiling at me lovingly as if I was the only one he could see. I started walking again until I reached him. We stood there looking at each other, mostly overwhelmed by everything, in silence. "You look beautiful," He said. My throat was dry and couldn't muster up the courage to talk so I did the one thing that both of us didn't expect. I kissed him. I could sense how shock he was at first but quickly started kissing back with equal fervor. That kiss conveyed all the emotions that I had held back. "Wow! I didn't expect such a sweet reward." He said as soon as I pulled back making me chuckle and roll my eyes trying to hide my embarrassment. "Thank you! It was amazing and I don't have words to express how I felt." I said. "Well if that was how you'd kiss me as a reward, then it was wort
Hades's POV-The whole weekend was blissful. To be honest I had not expected her to say yes so easily. I had assumed that even after everything I will have to try and pursue her more, but to my utmost delight, she not only agreed to be my girlfriend but also said she loved me. After our little confession, we made our way back to the house, I had arranged for dinner and throughout that time I could see how happy she was. This was the first time since I've known her that she seemed so relaxed and carefree. Usually, I could sense some kind of sadness and pain in those pretty eyes. I'm still curious to date and want to know the reason but I can be patient now, knowing that she's already mine. We have a lot of time to know each other's past and secrets. The next day was relaxing, we went to the beach, had a nice swim came back and watched movies. I don't remember my life before this woman came crashing into it, like literally crashing. I chuckled at the memory of when we first met
