AUTHOR'S POV
Waking up, Ana felt a sharp pain in her neck. It felt like something pricked her neck. Shaking her head to get her mind out of the haze, she pushed the duvets away and sat up in the bed. Intinctively, her eyes went to the balcony door, which was closed, like she did last night and the curtains were also pulled over. Sighing, she felt relieved.Closing her eyes and resting her head against the headboard, she thought back to what happened last night. Damon Alvarado's face flashed in front of her eyes and she felt scared again. The way his eyes were emotionless after killing that man, made it clear, that it was not his first time and he was already used to it. She knew itAUTHOR'S POVWorld seemed to come to an end, hearing what William Adams just said. She felt like her ears were ringing and her heart beat was getting slower with breaths coming out in slow motion. Her hands froze by her side, along with her eyes that were fixed at the table. “ Do you have any objection to this arangement Anastasia? ” William Adams's voice bought her out of her shock phase and she looked up; slowly and painfully.Staring at her own father, she observed his expressions. He was not really asking if she had any objections, he was just forcing everything upon her. He just wanted an answer, which must be Yes and raising an objection, was not even an option. Maybe, he was giving her a false choice to just show off in front of Damon Alvarado.
AUTHOR'S POVThe day came. The day when William Adams was going to officially engage Ana to Jackson.Willaim Adams didn't even waste one day and held the party just one day after breaking the news to Ana. It was a masquerade ball and thankfully Ana was going to wear a mask. This party was not held because of some trend. This party was themed to be a Masquerade Ball to keep the identities of people attending the party hidden. It was necessary, as many underworld Mafias were going to attend the party today. A special secret code card was required to come inside the mansion. The security was also on high alert, as William Adams suspected that Beast will come today.
AUTHOR'S POVAna looked around herself and noticed William Adams - her father talking with some man at her right corner. Gulping down her saliva, Ana clenched her hands into fists and started towards him after mentally preparing herself to say the same lines, she had practiced earlier in her mind.William Adams was wearing a black mask over his face, but what made him stand out the most in the whole room was the W embroided in black and gold on the pocket of his suit's jacket.As William Adams saw Anastasia approaching him, he excused himself from the leader of Tiger Clan and went towards Ana, who looked worried judging from the lines stretched across her forehead and her lips set in thin line.
AUTHOR'S POVRushing to her room, Ana started unzipping her dress. Getting her body out of it, she ran to the dressing room and grabbed casual clothes before wearing them hurriedly.Sighing, she tied her hairs in a ponytail. Her hands were trembling due to anticipation and fear. Taking some deep breaths to calm herself down, she went back inside the room and grabbed her phone from the side table before opening the Jordan's chat. She had texted him in the morning but he was not replying and his phone too was turned off which was causing Ana a headache.Placing the phone in her pocket, she grabbed the bag pack from under the bed which she had prepared earlier.Running
AUTHOR'S POVDarkness - Complete darkness that made her feel like she was blind.Her heart was still beating faster as the muscles of her shoulders burned more than all parts of her body.Her arms were stretched and chained on the wall behind her forcing her to sit on her knees. It felt like if she would move, her arms were going to detach from her body. Her knees were bruised from sitting in this position for God knows how long.What a funny and flop escape! Ana shooked her head chuckling to herself and hissed when she felt the muscles in her shoulders getting pulled again. Feeling the pain all over her body again - the pain she thoug
AUTHOR'S POVEverything happened as expected. After almost dying due to the unbearable and excrutiating pain, Ana gave up. Jackson untied her and stood at the side placing the blade down with his hand and his white shirt covered in her blood.As he stepped away from her, she tried to get up but fell down on her scrapped knees. Her head was spinning and everything was blurry. Her throat felt like it was on fire. Her arms were bleeding excessively and the pain was making her tremble.Without saying anything, Jackson sat down beside her on his toes and placed his hand behind her waist pulling her up with him. Placing his other hand under her knees, he carried her effortlessly.
AUTHOR'S POVAna was standing in her dressing room looking down at the bandages covering her arms. Three days had passed already and it still hurted like hell. Sighing, she shook all thoughts away from her mind.She was worried. Worried because it's been a week that Jordan and Caroline had not picked up any of her calls and had not replied to any of her texts. She wanted to ask Jackson to find out about them but she didn't wanted to involve them in anything either. Maybe it was for the best. She just hoping that they were not in any kind of trouble.Shaking her head, she looked up at all the clothes hanged. She needed to wear black cl
AUTHOR'S POV“ Go home Anastasia! ” William Adams ordered her without even looking at her and marched out followed by John Carlos, Jackson and the Blackwells.Dumbfounded, Ana stared at the door feeling the presence of Damon behind her. She knew he was standing just one step behind her judging from the warmth radiating off of his body and seeping through her back as she felt tingles in her body.Holding her breath, she tried to calm her rapidly beating heart down. Suddenly, she felt his finger tracing the egde of her sleeve before dragging it up to reveal the edge of her bandage.“ Healing alright? ” Whispering in a husky voice, he stepped closer and Ana felt her knees goi
AUTHOR'S POV “ She is alive. Just a little away. For... ” Beast scrunched up his nose, glancing back at Ana who was glaring at him. “ For Forever. She won't return in our lives now. Whoever will cause Ana any harm consciously or unconsciously will never be able to return in our lives. ” His eyes held hers captive just like always, as he said this in a low tone. Camelia Alvarado sighed folding her arms on her chest as her eyes watched Ana and Damon gazing in each other's eyes like she was not even there. She shook her head smiling to herself and walked out of there to leave those two alone. “ You didn't hurt her right? ” Ana whispered after a while detaching her eyes from his chocolate brown mesmerising orbs. “ No. I didn't hurt her. I just sent her away. ” He answered truthfully and walked closer to her as his mind recalled the memory. ~FLA
AUTHOR'S POV As Ana stood in front of the hall where the marriage was being held, she did not know what to say to Beast who was standing beside her. “ You should have told me earlier. ” Ana sighed out and glared at him from the corner of her eyes. She was discharged from the hospital just now and he took her here directly. She would have been discharged ten days ago if it was not for Beast who asked the doctors to keep her under observation for a few more days until there was no problem with her. “ I should have told you earlier only if you were ready to listen to anything. ” He shot back, a frown adorning his forehead. “ Now I know why Mom, Jeremiah and Mia didn't visit me for a few days. I thought there was something wrong with them. I guess they all were too busy. ” Ana's lips pluckered out as she averted her eyes away from him. She started walking towards
AUTHOR'S POV “ Please! Don't me kill me. Don't kill me. I am pregnant. ” She blurted in a hoarse voice and Jack Blackwell halted in his way. His shocked expressions changed to one of pure evil and Ana realised she shouldn't have told him about it. “ Is it Beast's child? ” He chuckled with an evil glint in his eyes making Ana gulp. “ Why am I even asking? Ofcourse its his child. ” He grinned sinisterly and patted Ana's hair making her flinch. “ I will not kill you until he arrives... ” He whispered and leaned down to look at her fearful expressions. “ But once he comes, I am going to carve out this baby of his and then I will let you bleed until you die right in front of his eyes. ” His grin widened and he leaned back. Shaking his head happily, he started walking out leaving Ana crying in pain and fear. “ He k-killed Mom... ” She mumbled to herself as she cried harder. He killed her Mother and ye
AUTHOR'S POV When Ana blinked her eyes open, darkness was all that surrounded her. She groaned in pain feeling her head spinning. She tried to move her hands but they were restrained behind her back, tied with a rope. Worry clouded her mind more than fear. She was worried about her unborn child. She had to find a way out of here. The door to the room opened and Jack Blackwell stepped inside making Ana to sit up straight like a rod was fixed in her back. “ What do you want from me?! ” Ana hissed, her eyes burning with rage. “ Nothing. That's the thing. I want nothing from you so you are useless. ” He shrugged his shoulders, the sinister laugh falling off his lips. “ Then let me go. ” Ana hissed again. She was trying to loosen up the ropes behind her by rotating her hands around while he talked to her. The ropes dug in her wrists drawing out blo
AUTHOR'S POV Beast came back home with his heart still drumming in his ears. He should have listened to her when she was saying that she had a bad feeling about things these days. Whatever he had said to Jack Blackwell to scare him and to make sure that he did not hurt Ana before he got to her, did not help assuring himself at all. <Who knew what a maniac like Jack Blackwell would do to her? As he made his way to the room - their room, avoiding to cross paths with Camelia Alvarado and Mia, he found his strength leaving his body. He was alone now. He did not need to pretend that he was okay, that he would be able to handle everything, that everything was under his control. He was slowly losing his breaths, his heart beating painfully in his chest at the thought of Ana getting hurt. He marched to the bed and sat down on it with a thump, his whole life flashing before his eyes. Once
AUTHOR'S POV ~A LITTLE WHILE EARLIER Beast ran down the stairs as Ana called out to him repeatedly. “ Damon! Damon! What happened? ” He did not answer. He did not even turn around to look at her. Sighing defeatedly, Ana's shoulder slumped down and her eyes helplessly followed his figure rushing out of the mansion until he was not there anymore. She wondered what happened for him to be in such a rush. She had never seen him so breathless and mindless before. Every step of his was always measured and calculated but today he ran thoughtlessly like his life depended on it. She was just thinking about it standing by the railing when the same feeling that something horrible was about to happen captured her mind. Her eyes went to the door desperately hoping that he would return and tell her that everything was going to be alright because he was there wit

AUTHOR'S POV ~A month later Everything was fine.And Yes. That was a big fat lie. Ana sighed heavily as she stepped out of the bathroom and hid the thing held in her hand in the last drawer where she was sure Beast would not find it easily. She had been looking at it for three days now but she could not bring herself to muster up her courage to do anything about it. But she had another way to do what was right. She just wished everything went right. She was scared and did not know what to do about all weird kinds of feelings overwhelming her at the same time. She stared at herself in the mirror of the dressing room and pushed her hair back. She was wearing a casual light grey sweater with black jeans. Beast was coming to pick her up in some time and she had to be ready before he came or he might indulge in other distracting activities with her instead of doing what they were
AUTHOR'S POV Ana walked around the mansion like a ghost until she found Camelia Alvarado sitting in the garden staring at the flowers. She should have checked here first. Ana facepalmed herself and gulped down her saliva, preparing herself to talk to Camelia Alvarado. Ana walked to Camelia Alvarado taking small measured steps and stopped right in front of her hindering her view and even her thoughts too. “ Mom. ” A lump formed in her throat as she stared down at Camelia Alvarado's serious expressions. This gave her a hint that Camelia Alvarado did not know about her little failed suicide mission. Ana sighed internally and sat down beside Camelia Alvarado who sulkily turned her head away from her. “ Do you hate me Mom? Now when you know That I was Anastasia Adams... ” Ana whispered, her fingers fidgeting with each other as she kept her head down not wanting to look at her at all. &ldq
