~ANASTASIA~

Remember that night Gia and Santiago insisted I go with them to that business dinner? Well, the man we were meeting turned out to be the same man standing here.

I didn't like him, and I was pretty mean to him because that night I expected we would go for dinner like Gia said, but he changed at the last minute and asked us to meet him at a boxing arena. He was watching people fighting, and with what I took from him that night, I could tell he was a violent man as he got so excited seeing one of the men beaten.

“Are... are you sure?” I turned to the guard, who nodded.

“Small world, right?” He brought out his hand; well, I needed his help, and since Ivy was already inside, I couldn't ask her to come out, so I forced a smile but didn't give him my hand.

“Thank you,” I said. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”

“No problem,” he awkwardly cleared his voice. He seemed hurt at first that I didn't take his hand but did well to hide it as he turned to his guards and spoke to them.

    ~WILLIAM~I had a hard time at work today. I didn’t understand how I employed a bunch of idiots. I had twenty people working in my company, but none of them had an actual brain.I hate to admit it, but since Anastasia left, things have been a little tough. I had to do everything now to keep the company running because tell me how they couldn’t even secure a simple deal; none of them could come up with a convincing presentation.When Anastasia was here, she did everything for the company. She used to work from home, and if there was a problem, I always asked Vanessa to call her for solutions or help prepare a presentation. She never went to college, but I just taught her once, and she mastered everything.If it weren’t for me, Anastasia’s jewelry company and the Lancaster group would still be running strong.I had just arrived from work and was extremely tired. I was glad Jimena was back to her senses as she was down doing whatever made her happy, either painting her nails or reading a

    ~WILLIAM~I walked to the window still puffing on the cigarette when someone suddenly barged in.“Tell me this is not true.” It was Jimena; she was holding her phone up, the screen facing me. It was the video of me destroying the flowers. Well, I knew she would see it too, so I expected it already.“It’s just a video, Jimena,” I said, trying to make it seem like it’s not a big deal.“Excuse me? And when did you start smoking?” She questioned.“Today, tada!” I dramatically said as I walked back to my seat and sat down.“My reputation is at stake here; you know the kind of job I do.”“I know, and that’s why I have people working on it. Okay, relax, okay.”“Relax? William, this is my reputation we are talking about. You are the one who announced our engagement to the world; my fans are already questioning me.” She sounded calm, but I could see the anger in her eyes. I was done with the cigarette, so I threw it in the small bin before I looked up at her.“Stress is not good for pregnant

    ~WILLIAM~“Mr. Rogers…” It was James: “Ms. Anastasia is back in the city.”“What?!”“I just found out; they landed like an hour ago.”“Fuck!” I cursed as it now made sense; she was behind it, but how dare she pull such a stunt? How dare she come for me when her company was even doing badly?“Wait…” Jimena said, and with a boring expression, I turned to her. It happened so fast; next, she grabbed the phone from my hands, and since I didn't have the energy for her, I let her be as I walked to the drink cabinet picked a bottle of alcohol, and walked to the table, my eyes on Jimena, who now seemed to be arguing with James.I was going to pour a drink in my glass when James's voice echoed in my head: ‘Ms. Anastasia is back.’ He even had the guts to call her by her name and not by my last name; that frustrated me as I instead brought the bottle to my lips and gulped down its contents.“I want that bitch to pay; I don't know, do something.” I heard Jimena say, but I didn't stop her.

    ~ANASTASIA~“Trust me, I live around the area; I will drop you off.”“Mommy, please say yes.” Ivy insisted, “Pretty please...” She made a puppy face.“Sweetheart, what did I say about manipulating others?”“Mommy, please, just this time.” She pouted her lips, her hands were joined together in a begging position, and I couldn't help but agree.“Fine, but only because he's going in the same direction,” I said, and she jumped before she kissed my cheeks and turned to the man.“Thank you. Now back to the game.”“Whoa, I see. I might let you win this time.” He chuckled.“Trust me, I'm the one letting you win.” She smirked, and I shook my head before I turned my attention back to the magazine. The flight attendant brought it to me earlier since she realized I wasn't falling asleep. I couldn't sleep with Ivy awake; I would just end up having bad dreams of her in danger.We were landing soon, and the man insisted on driving us to our home. I told him it was outside the city, and he said he l

    ~WILLIAM~I was in the hospital pacing around waiting for the doctor. I don't know what I was feeling at the moment; Jimena was in there fighting for her life, and it was all my fault. I was to blame, and Mom was not even making it better as she kept reminding me that she had warned me.“You see what you've got yourself into. I told you, son, I told you to marry Jimena and—”“It's not my fault this time, Mom. I didn't—”“Just shut up! Shut up!” She yelled; she was very upset, “Listen to me, William, I know you're my son, but if anything happens to my grandchild, I will never forgive you, and I will make sure you pay for your crime.”“Mom, nothing is going to happen to Jimena and her baby, okay?”“W-what? Her baby? Are you listening to yourself right now? I mean, isn't she pregnant for you?”“I know…” I scratched the back of my head. “I mean our baby.”“William, are you having second thoughts?” She sounded calm, and no, I wasn't having second thoughts. Jimena and I have been having unp

    ~ANASTASIA~I was restless; I wondered what was taking her so long to get back to me. She promised to get it fixed in thirty minutes, but it has been thirty-two minutes now.I couldn't wait any longer, so I got my phone and dialed her number.“Ana?” She sounded like she had food in her mouth.“Hi, did you get it fixed?”“What?”“The rumor, is it cleared?” I hated reminding her, but at this point, I had to, as I didn't want her to change her mind.“Oh, about that… Mhmm…”“Please stop playing with me, Vivi.”“See how worked up you get when it's about William.”“Please tell me you did.”“Yes, I did. You can relax now. I was having dinner. I came home, so I will talk to you later, okay?”“Alright, thank you, and no, I'm not worked up because of William; I'm only helping like any normal human would do. He had poured his heart into that company; I don't want his efforts to be in vain.” I explained, even though I knew Vivi would not agree with me.“Whatever. You are just kind because if it w

    ~ANASTASIA~I wasn't thinking straight. Trey and I were twins, and so we were very close; hearing this broke my heart.I followed Margot with Dad and Carmen behind. She led us to his room, and when we reached the door, I was the first to enter, as she was a little slow.“Trey?!” I rushed to him as he was on the bed groaning in pain, but when he heard my voice, he sat up and pretended to be strong.“A…Ana…” He struggled to say my name, “I… I’m sorry I couldn’t… couldn’t pick you up.”“You’re bleeding?” I said, ignoring his concern as I tried to wipe off the blood from his nose with a cloth, but he flinched and complained in pain.“Call the doctor.” I heard Dad tell Margot. He didn’t sound worried to me, which got me thinking, but I didn’t address it. As I helped Trey get on the bed, I removed his shoes. Before helping him cover his legs, I noticed he was really hurt; his face had scratches, and blood was leaking from his head.I continued wiping blood off his face even when he asked me

    ~ANASTASIA~It's been half an hour; yes, my eyes were on the clock, so I knew how long Dr. Luke and Trey had been in there.“Everything is going to be okay.” I heard Carmen say, at this point, I was tired of asking her to stop talking to me, as I've said that about a hundred times already, but she didn't stop.Dad excused himself to take a call while Carmen still decided to be my nanny as she at times rubbed my back.I was going to ask her to stop the act as Dad was not here anymore when Dr. Luke appeared.“Doctor?” I quickly got up.“Is he going to be okay?” Carmen asked rather an odd question.“Yes, as always, he just got into a fight, so you can expect the officer's call, and I say prepare the money as the other person is badly injured.” Dr. Luke said, and I was confused at what he meant by as always. I mean, I've been away from my family, so it might be that he got into these fights often.“Thank you, doctor.” Carmen said and then turned to me, “I told you he will be okay.”“Can I

    ~ANASTASIA~Last time I saw William was two years ago, yes, two years at a family dinner when Trey proposed to Nicole. From there we've only spoken through phone calls.Life has been chill and peaceful for a while now, and there has been no single drama; it almost felt like a dream — like I was dead and had gone to heaven.Okay, who do I start with, Vivi? Yes, Vivi and Harriot worked it out, and as we speak they are in Africa on a tour. Hudson and I were there last year after the tragedy, and let's just say it filled my cup as I managed to forget and found myself again.Carmen was back in Seattle, doing just fine; we speak at least once a day. Santiago, well, I don't know how it happened, but he was now with Julliete, yes, Julliete. I didn't know he had a thing for her, but well, they were together, and I must be honest, she was much better than Gianna.The day I was in the hospital, I told him about Alexander being his father. I mean, Gianna mentioned he chose me over her, so I felt

    …It's been a few months since the whole drama; Hudson was the hero; he saved my babies, and I was grateful but not happy if I'm being truthful.Everything fell back into place, well for everyone, as they were all trying to move on; Mom and the priest got together.It turned out he never wanted to be a priest in the first place, that he was forced.Well, Nicole was with Trey, he still hasn't forgiven me. He always said that, and I didn't honestly want his forgiveness; I was just happy he was making my sister happy, even when I failed his sister.Life was – well, I had air in my lungs; that's all I can say now.I focused on my company and my children, of course.I got up very early and got to work. I didn't even have breaks; I always returned home late, sometimes even slept there. I would just take an hour to go and spend time with my children before heading back to either my lonely home or to the company – I've been resting in my penthouse lately.I was driving from Ana's home; it was

    The beeping sound of machines forced me out of unconsciousness. Now the pain wasn't much, and I knew I was treated.I didn't really lose consciousness earlier; I was still very much aware of everything. I just didn't have the energy to respond, but after what I've heard, I was in a good mood. Ana was worried for me; she even almost went into the operating room with me. She still cared about me. She still loved me. I knew it!I don't even know why I doubted myself for a second. Man, she loved me; she can't just wake up and unlove me after all the sacrifices. I didn't even want to talk about Jimena at this point; even hearing her name irritated me. She broke my marriage. She broke my family.I felt someone caress my hand, and I knew those soft hands well. It was Ana. I will never forget how soft her hands felt. Yes, years back I pretended like I didn't care, but deep down I loved it.I felt my lips stretch into a smile as I opened my eyes. Of course, I was going to pretend to be in pain

    ~WILLIAM~Hudson had succeeded in keeping Ana from me, but I didn't give up. While I was searching for our babies, I also took lessons. I had to be better for her.If I wanted her back, then I had to make sure I was worthy of her. The past months have been a regret — I realized my mistakes.She was an amazing woman, the mother of my children; she deserved the world. I was a fool for chasing Jimena while she was giving me her whole. Fuck! The mistakes we make.It pained my heart to see that I was losing her. The way Hudson treated her – god, I was tired, slowly dying inside.Today was the Opulence, and I came here to support her.I was sitting in the crowd, next to celebrities, she tried to make conversation but my mind was on Ana.I was not sure if this was her revenge, but I was done. I couldn't do it anymore. She won; she won. I… fell for her.I told her I would never love her, but I was wrong because right now she was all I could think of, and they say love is like a drug, and I c

    “I'm going to end this once and for all; you'll die, we’ll cry about you, and I'll replace you,” she said before forcefully dragging the woman who was earlier lying on the couch, whom I've now learned was Karen.She then forcefully removed the sack from her head and then sat her up. I saw she also had tape on her mouth but was conscious as she was shaking her head, eyes full of tears.Gianna, just like her anger, was aroused by looking at her, started slapping her, so hard, and the ‘twark’ slap sounds echoed in the room. I think she gave her like twenty slaps before she landed about two kicks and then massaged her hand.“You said I would not achieve anything; look at you now, bitch, at my mercy!” She snarled, now making me scared, as the Gia I knew wasn't like this.No wonder Vivi never liked her; it's like she knew she was this evil. Well, Vivi always asked me to stay away from her, but I never listened.“You know I was going to kill the both of you with my bare hands, but time…” She

    I silently listened as Gianna narrated everything, from how she killed Susanna to seducing my brother and then drugging me and William. Yep, that was my weakness: hot men. I was young back then; I was an heiress with zero problems, so I thought I could be with only the hottest. Well, she took that as my weakness, and you know the result.“You were my ticket to wealth, and the fact that you are that woman's daughter made me want you to suffer even more. Oh, I almost forgot, Trey.” She outlined her chin and smirked before she told me Trey was like that because of her.“I'm the one who made him addicted to drugs and gambling. I started small, offering him comfort. Of course, I had to use your situation. Each time William made you look like a fool, he would beat himself about it, saying he was failing his mother…” She laughed before she told me how she first gave it to him in his coffee and then later took him to a casino in pretense to relieve stress.Now I don't remember clearly, but th

    I've been asking Gianna what her motive was, but she didn't respond; she asked me to shut up, so I did as she threatened to give me more slaps.I silently watched, still not able to feel my heart; I don't know how I was alive at this point.Then after a moment, the man came back with a tray and two glasses, one of juice and another of water.“Give it to her!” Okay, I don't know why she had to scream everything; the Gianna I knew was soft. Was this perhaps her clone?The man forced the glass into my mouth, but I refused to take it. What if it was poisoned?“Take it, Ana, or I'll ask my partner to kill one of your babies; we only need one anyway.” I quickly opened my mouth and took the water. “You should have juice; we are celebrating your funeral. I'll have alcohol, of course.” She walked to the dresser, and I watched as she poured herself a drink.After pouring it into a short glass, she took it and then let out a moan before describing the taste and then saying the brand's name and a

    Just like Gianna had ordered, they started kicking me in my stomach so hard that I now fell on the floor with the chair since they used a rope to trap me on it.I couldn't take the pain anymore and I started whimpering.“Good, now give her the scar.” I heard her say, and I don't know what scar she was talking about, but when I felt them push the rope on my stomach, I realized what they were trying to do.“N-no, please, no.” I hated scars!“Yes, yes, please.” Gianna mocked, “You thought you could just leave a scar on me and go free? No, bitch, you messed with the wrong girl.”I felt someone tear the dress using the knife, and I felt the blade on my skin. Okay, the way they hesitated showed me they really didn't want to do it, so I started pleading with them, but they were not listening. The blade went into my flesh with every move sending electricity through my veins, and just as I thought it was going into my stomach, Gianna raised her voice, stopping them.“Sit her up; I think she's

    I would lie if I said my heart was beating faster than normal because I wasn't feeling it. It's like it had just stopped. The fact that I was still breathing and standing alive was what made me know it was still there.I could hear Gianna's voice from a distance. I didn't realize my assistant was now holding the phone for me. Of course, she asked others to give us the room.“You have three seconds to respond, or I'm dumping them in the sea. Do you know they are still alive? The doctor even said they are very healthy and that they have strong genes. I guess a Roger does that, right?” She chuckled, sounding so evil that if I didn't know her voice well, I would believe she wasn't Gianna.“Please don't… Don't hurt my babies.”“I won't if you bring yourself here. I know you know how this works. I will send you the address. No police, guards, or those maniac demons fighting for you, deal?”“Yes, yes, deal.” I quickly said, before the call cut; it only took a second for a notification to com
