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
Hades's POV- 4 years later-Today again I came home late. Nova must have been disappointed again. The house was silent, I guess she's already asleep. 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's POV-"Hello and Welcome everyone! Today we have with us the mysterious woman who has rocked the fashion world in the last few years. 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
After driving away Aurora made her way to the graveyard. It broke her heart to not be able to attend her father's funeral or visit him all these years. She still doesn't know what caused him to have a heart attack suddenly but she was sure that the mother-daughter duo was behind it. The only good thing was at least they buried him beside her mother. As soon as she reached their grave she broke down. She didn't know what to say or do, she was all alone now. "I'm sorry father. I couldn't save you in this life too. I couldn't even be there in your last moments." She sobbed, thinking about it. Suddenly determination flashed in her eyes "I promise they'll pay back everything. They'll get everything that they've done to us tenfold and only then I'll come back to you both proudly." She said and walked away. "Let the countdown begin," She said out loud. Cordelia and Kiara's faces had paled as soon as they saw the interview It was as if they've seen a ghost. Looking at her face had made
The banquet held by Moretti & Co. had been the talk of the town. Everyone was excited to meet this mysterious figure who was well known in the industry. Cordelia and Liam were waiting desperately for the moment. Only after meeting her will their restless heart settle down. The party had started and everyone was surprised by the grandeur. "May I have your attention please?" Suddenly a loud voice from the microphone boomed around the big hall, grabbing everyone's attention. "Welcome everyone. Thank you for gracing us with your presence today. Today is a very special occasion for me and I'd like to share it with everyone present here." He walked down the stairs while talking and stood in front of a woman. "Well all my life I've had this false concept of love, but there was someone who set me straight and showed me what love actually is. The deep hate within me towards this world had disappeared when you walked in my life." Saying he went down on his knees Ms. Hailey Gabriel,
"I understand where you are coming from Mr. Arden, but I can assure you that I'm not her sister. I've never had one as far as I remember. I've been born and brought up in X City and lived there all my life. I don't even remember meeting you at all" Aurora explained nonchalantly. "As for the private meeting, I'm sorry but I can't give you an appointment just for something that I can clarify here itself. I'm here for a short time and I'm already busy with a lot of other meetings." She said. "Now if you'll excuse me…" She said and left them standing speechless but her straightforward rejection. Liam couldn't help but feel attracted to her, all he could think of is how to charm her. If she isn't Anastasia then it wouldn't be difficult. Cordelia failed to see the lust in her husband's eyes. She was still conflicted but decided to let it go for now. If she wasn't Anastasia then she wasn't a threat. However, she still didn't want to take a chance so she calmed herself down till she
After a while, the bid had already reached $25 million. Aurora was shocked and couldn't help but glare at Lucian. While Lucian and Hailey were fretting over the matter that Hades hadn't bid even once. Their plan was failing drastically and God knows, which jerk would win the bid. When the host was about to close the bid a man raised the bid again and this time the gap wasn't small "$50 Million" The crowd erupted in gasps. Liam and Cordelia clenched their fists and didn't bid anymore. No one knew who the man was but simply looked at him in shock. Lucian and Hailey gulped as their plan backfired and they looked at Hades who sat there calmly as if he didn't care. The host walked up to the man and asked his name and announced the winner. "Mr. John Taylor has won the chance to go on a date with the gorgeous Aurora." The crowd cheered. Aurora didn't even know how to react anymore. She sighed and went on the stage to greet the man. She subconsciously looked around to find someone but could
When Liam and Cordelia reached home, Kiara was already waiting anxiously for them to give her the news about Anastasia. "You two are finally back! I was dying from curiosity" she exclaimed. "What happened? Is she who we think it is?" She couldn't help but blurt out the questions one by one. Cordelia sighed, "We don't know. She said she didn't know us. I tried to stir up a commotion so that she would react, and we could get at least some kind of a hint but it was no use" She said and recalled the incident. "What do you mean she didný know you? Is she really someone else? She looks so much like her." Kiara was confused by now. "We'll have to wait and see, that's all we can do now," Cordelia assured herself as well as her mother. "Do you think she lost her memories?" Kiara questioned them. "She was shot on her leg and around her chest mother. It's not possible to lose your memory this way" Liam said and rolled his eyes. He had considered this possibility too, but then he remembe
