Anastasia's POV-

I had hardened my heart and started focusing on the show. It was a big deal for me, I had been looking forward to this since I realized I got a second chance. I had invited father and mom and unfortunately had to invite Cordelia too. Father has been pretty excited and said how proud he was. He wished mother could see me standing on the stage like this. Honestly, I wished the same, she has been my inspiration.

 It was the day of the show and I have been busy assisting Arthur with the last-minute preparations. While I was sorting out the dresses in the respective dressing rooms, Lucian approached me "Ana, All the best for today. I know how hard you've worked for this project and I'm sure after this show, all the companies would want you to work for them" He said smiling and I felt that it was genuine. I smiled "Thank you" It was still a little awkward around him after everything. I still don't know if he had some ill intentions about giving me the i

    I was sitting and enjoying the show, even though they were our competitors, I got a lot to learn from every design. I was deep in thought analyzing all the designs when a staff from our team approached me "Excuse me, Ms. Kimberly, you are required backstage in dressing room 301. It's an emergency" I looked at him confused. We had already finished everything, what was the emergency now? Before I could ask him, he had walked away. I sighed and went backstage to have a look at it. I walked towards the room and knocked, but there was no answer. I opened the door and went inside, still confused. There was no one inside, so I looked around to see if there was any issue or not. There was an odd odor inside the room, but I got distracted when I saw our dresses hanging there together 'Why are these here?' I thought and decided to call someone to take them back to the company. It had to be done as soon as the show was done. Before I even turned around I heard a loud bang from behind me. The d

    Anastasia tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't. An invisible restraint had made her body unable to move. A few minutes in the fire had made her relieve her past life."Do you want a boy or a girl, Liam?" Ana asked dreamily. "It doesn't matter as long as it's our baby sweetheart," He said and pulled her closer, looking at her affectionately. She smiled and rested her head on his chest. "I love you, Liam," She said and looked at his beautiful face. "I love you too…more than anything in this world" He replied and locked his lips with hers.

    "Ana…your father… had a heart attack. We are in the hospital now." Kiara informed her and she rushed to the hospital. She started regretting the way she treated her father. She was never a good daughter to him. As soon as she reached, the doctor informed her that he passed away. Ana was shattered, she didn't know what to feel. The strongest emotion was regret. She had let him down and now it was too late. She couldn't even apologize to him anymore. She cried for her loss and called Liam. He was the only one who could comfort her at this point. She kept calling him but he didn’t answer. She had to go home alone and help Kiara with the funeral. She needed Liam the most at this time but he was nowhere. That night when she returned home, she didn't wait for him and went straight to their room. She seemed lifeless, but what's the use of regret now. Liam came home late as usual "Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

    When Anastasia regained her consciousness, she was in a daze. The nightmare had come to an end, but she was confused. Hades was sitting in the room on the sofa, but he seemed to be sleeping. Ana saw this her eyebrows furrowed. Because of the incident, her mind was muddled because of the past and present events. After lying there in silence for an hour and looking at him, she slowly cleared her mind. She suddenly felt livid 'Why was he here now?' She looked away. After some time, Jonathan and Kiara entered her room. He was worried about her and couldn't sleep last night. Seeing that she was awake, he sighed in relief "Ana, you scared us. How are you feeling now?" He asked. Hades woke up because of the sound in the room and immediately looked at Ana. He finally felt relieved. He didn't speak with her and without a word left the room. Jonathan and Kiara didn't notice but Ana did. She felt disheartened and looked at Jonathan "I'm feeling fine father, Don't worry about me" She tried to a

    She turned around to run but instead bumped into someone. As soon as she looked up, her eyes widened and she took a step back. Liam stood there smirking "Who do we have here?" She was trapped, she couldn't leave now. Cordelia and Kiara came out after hearing the commotion and were surprised to see Anastasia. They looked between Ana and Liam confused. "She heard everything!" They finally understood what happened. "Oh thank god, I wouldn't have to pretend anymore," Kiara said exasperatedly. Ana was thinking about how she could get out of here. But while she was thinking Liam had already stepped forward and grabbed her by her hair dragging her into the living room. "Leave me, you piece of shit" She yelled, but he pulled her even harder. Cordelia and Kiara walked behind them leisurely. When they reached out he pushed her on the floor. She hissed as her forehead collided with the table. She looked up glaring at the three of them "Even if you kill me today, you won't win. I know you've do

Sighing I walked towards my room, all I need is my bed. I'll make up to her tomorrow. It's been so hard these years, especially without her. I don't believe that she's dead, Lucian had given me proof, but I don't know why I feel she is not dead. I'm waiting for the day I can see her again. All these years I've tried hard to find her, but every time I reached a dead end. I still don't know what happened 4 years back. It was all too suspicious, we suddenly heard that someone attacked Ana and Jonathan had a heart attack as he couldn't bear to see his daughter dead. I tried to investigate it too but there wasn't anything to cause suspicion. I thought it was Mia, and questioned her, but after investigating I realized it wasn't her. I still don't understand who would want to harm Ana to such an extent. I freshened up and g

Aurora Pierce has been a well-known name and all of us have been wondering all these years about the fashion goddess." The host of the show announced. The past few years had made me go from rags to riches pretty soon because of my talent, but I was waiting for the right time to show my face to the world. I was brought out of my thoughts by the host of the show. "So Ms. Pierce, the audience wants to know why have you been such a mysterious figure in the industry? I mean even the top names in the industries have been wondering who Aurora Pierce is." The host asked. "Well, I hadn't planned to come out as a mysterious figure, it just happened. I was just focused on my goals, which by the grace of God I have achieved. I am a socially awkward person, so it was usually my assistant who handles a lot of my appointments and meetings" I re

    Third Person's POV-The day Hades took Nova out to play was the day when Aurora came back. She was on her way to the new apartment that Lucian had arranged for her. She felt overwhelmed to come back. This was the place she was born and lived most of her life. She had both memories and nightmares of this place. This was the place where she had died, the place where she had fallen in love, the place her parents were buried, and the place where they will get their retribution. She was lost in the overwhelming feeling and analyzing everything again when a car bumped into hers from behind. A sense of déjà vu hit her and she stopped her car. She was livid because this wasn't her car and now she'll have to take responsibility for it. "Whoever said women can't drive!" She yelled. She suddenly recalled her first encounter with Hades and she automatically cooled down and chuckled. She got out of the car and checked the damage. A middle-aged man came out of the driver's se

    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.
