(Anastasia's POV)"Is Lyra there?" She asked, her eyes filled with hope. I immediately felt pity for her. I nodded my head and she sighed, looking down at her feet before looking back at me. "Did she say anything? Is she angry with me?" She asked me, her eyebrows forming a frown and I gave her a sad smile.It was true love right there."She is worried about you," I said softly and her eyes became teary almost immediately. She looked away, trying to control herself from bursting into tears."Do you want to talk to he—""No." She deadpanned and closed her eyes in frustration. "Did you tell anyone about us?" She asked me."No." I shook my head. "It's your secret to share."Melanie breathed in and breathed out, gulping before narrowing her eyes at me. "Not even Caleb?" She asked."No," I said. She raised her eyebrows before looking away, toward the ceiling. Her fingers absentmindedly kept playing with the end of her floral dress."Lyra doesn't care, you know?" I asked. "All she wants is y

(Anastasia's POV)"Ana?" I turn around to see Caleb with a narrower face.Did he hear us?"C-Caleb...""Are you not done, the dinner's waiting. Who is that by the way," he said as he strode towards me.I look at my screen and the call ended a while ago. Did I accidentally press the end button? "Ahmm, just Alice, asking for something.""Oh, sorry to disturb--""No, it's okay. She hung up already. Shall we?"We walk inside the house and we had our dinner as we chatted about Sam's wedding and the dinner party tomorrow. I hope Byron was there so that I can explain about hanging up on him earlier. I hope he is not mad. But I realized that he was sick. So it's much better for him to not attend the party and take care of his health.*** It's Thursday noon and Caleb was already gone to his company this morning. I pack the lunch box for my beloved husband and soup for my beloved brother-in-law.I plan to visit Byron today and give him the soup I made. I plan to visit him this morning but I w

(Anastasia's POV)"BITCHHHHHHH," Ally exclaimed, dragging the sound to make it look sassy as she snapped her fingers up in the air. Her purple dress flowed beautifully around her. Her hair was up in a messy updo that fitted her. She had placed a butterfly-shaped clip on top of the bun. "Do you know what I just found out?" She asked, her eyes wide and alarmed. I raised my eyebrows.I was wearing a gold-colored dress, with a heart neckline. Caleb bought it for me and I loved the frills around the hem. The elegance was bouncing off the dress and I felt like a queen. My hair was let down, curled and it bounced beautifully whenever I walked. "What... What did you find out?" I asked a little bit alarmed.After Byron kissed me earlier, I pushed him with wide eyes, feeling betrayed by his action. Can't believe he just did that, knowing I am his sister-in-law. He said sorry but I immediately rush out of his unit.I was startled. And also I don't want to know his reason for doing that. Even tho

(Anastasia's POV)"Ana, can we talk?" Lianne asked.I nodded and excuse myself from everyone and Caleb. We walk outside the house, to the garden full of lilies and roses. I found two swings hanging at the big tree. I sat in a swing as Lianne followed me and sat on the other swing quietly. We were silent for a minute until she broke the silence. "I'm sorry. I didn't know she would take it this way.""Why are you saying sorry? You're not at fault." I responded while chuckling. "I didn't do that to be friends with you." "I know, I know... You want to win." I roll my eyes."You spot that on," she smirks, but it's a smirk that you won't get upset with. I smiled thinking that it was the first we calmly talk like this.It was a cool and breezy evening. A strong gust of wind blew against my face and hair making me clasp my hand on my arms."Thank you." I breathed. "Thank you, Lianne." I look at her side, the same as she, staring at me with surprise. She reluctantly avoided my eyes, and cou

(Anastasia's POV)"I do.""You may kiss the bride now." The priest said and immediately Charles bent down, pulling Samantha towards him as he kissed her. The crowd was filled with cheers and applause. It was a beautiful sight and Sam was beautiful in the white dress. Ally was crying, her eyes red and puffy as she laid her head on my shoulder."What a sight," Ally said and I scoffed, wiping her tears away gently. I wonder when she's planning to get married. Does she even have a plan to?The couple was glowing under the light. The wedding was being held in Charles's backyard. It was huge with a lovely garden. Snow was falling gracefully but the area was covered with a tent, so no one got affected.The place was decorated with white satin and white flowers of all kinds. It was warm and sweet. There was a huge Vanilla cake that Alice couldn't wait to get a piece of. The mood was romantic. Only a few people were present, relatives and close friends. I knew most of them.Sam was now a Wife.

(Anastasia's POV)"Sam, we need to go home now," I said as I leaned against Caleb's silver Mercedes. The truth is, we just had a quickie in the car earlier which kinda feels weird to me. Sex in public is insane. He almost ruined my dress.Samantha pouted. "But Ana..." She whine as she curled a protective hand around her stomach."We'll hang out next time, after your honeymoon," I said as I wink at her.She giggle and nodded. "Okay, well drive safe, and thank you for coming, sissy," Sam said before peering over her shoulder and smiling at me."Okay, see you soon. Once again, congratulations." Caleb said before moving forward and fist bump to Charles. I kissed Sam on her cheek and she tap Ally's cheek inside the car sleeping soundly as she was too drunk. While Alice waved back at her.Caleb turned around and started to walk toward me and I was thankful I had been blessed with such a man. He looked poised and extremely strong and sexy. He tilted his head and threw me something.I just ba

(Anastasia's POV)I padded out of the bathroom, freshly washed, and tied my wet hair up into a messy bun. Caleb was sitting on the bed, half stripped with his phone in his hand. This is a miracle to see, not with his laptop or computer but on his phone.Is he having an affair with his beloved cellphone?I slyly crawled onto the bed and wrapped my arms around his chest. I heard him chuckle. "You really are insatiable," he said softly as I rested my cheek on his shoulder."Maybe, but I don't hear you complaining," I replied as my fingernails traced circles on his chest, basically, around his nipple. Why does he have a pumped chest? His chest is more firm than any guy's. I mean, I'm not a maniac or what. Just being curious."No, that's true," he said, turning his head to look at me. He put me on his top as my breast were pressed to his firm chest. The fact that I'm wearing a silk sleeveless top with no bra, I feel not suffocated as my breast were juggling whenever I move. I'm becoming a

(Anastasia's POV)"So, are we playing the good cop, bad cop?" I asked as Caleb and I walked toward his office."No, bad cop, silent cop. You will be silent and I will be bad," he replied, shooting me a smile."Fine." I breathed out as nerves overtook me.Caleb stopped at his door and looked at me. "Are you sure you want to do this? I cannot assure you that I will be the nice guy you think I am," he asked.I studied his eyes. "You don't have to worry, have faith," I said, slowly.He nodded and took a deep breath, opening the door."--About fucking time." a familiar voice said as he stepped through.I followed him and saw Damian stand up from Caleb's desk with the tail guy and two unknown men. "Wait, you brought her here? Are you insane?" Damian asked, looking at me in horror.My eyes weren't on him but on the woman tied up to a chair in the middle of the office. His head hung low and short breath come from her nose."It's fine Damian, I've already made my peace with her being here," h

THALIAMy eyes began to well up with tears of conflicting feelings. Anger, worries, and longing came out all at once. He disappeared without a trace after saying he would come back, and God knows if he’s alive or not. He made me fucking worried for nothing!“Where were you?” That was the only thing I asked.“I have to take care of something–”“Then why did you have to vanish like that?” My voice cracked up in the end as I failed to control it.He avoided my eyes with guilt lingering all over his face. I don't know what to feel. But there's only one thing I could figure out after seeing him again.“To protect you from harm.”I firmly shut my eyes, tears streamed down my cheeks as his words were like hitting my chest with a knife. All he could think was to be my protector, whereas here I am thinking he might have chosen the others over me.Am I being too selfish?I wiped my face as I looked around. Good thing my bodyguards are outside the university. “What happened to Uncle Michae

THALIAI flinched as I was startled when my phone suddenly rang. I got up in bed, sighing as soon as I saw the time. It's almost three, but my eyes won't even close just a bit.My attention was switched to my phone, which still kept ringing. Who would call at this hour?I answered it without looking at the caller.“Wha–”“Thalia.”My brows furrowed at the familiar voice in the end. I checked the number, but it's unregistered.“Ca-Cassie?”“I'm sorry for barking at the wrong tree.” My jaw fell as soon as I confirmed it was her. I jump off the bed and gaze outside the window.“Where are you? Who's with you?” I desperately asked.However, I heard her chuckle and sighed deeply.“I intentionally took the chance that my mother used to work with Laverde and got in as their so-called illegitimate family member.”Her words left me baffled. So… she's not a real Laverde?“What's your reason?”“I have found evidence and took a chance to get closer to the enemy.”“Evidence of what?”“I only want

THALIAI inhale sharply as soon as I exit the building. My chest feels heavy and tightened, and I don't know how to cope with the pain deep inside of me.My fingers firmly curled around the handle of my handbag.It's just my hunch. It's just my guts. It's just my suspicion that it was Damon. But why don't I feel this suspicion is real?I hate it.My phone rang, and Damon's secretary was plastered on my screen.“How was it? Is it Damon?”“No.”Then why did that jerk get Damon's phone?I scratched my temple as I walked to my car. I entered my car with a frown.“Where did that robber find it?”“He said a woman came and sold the phone.”I paused and confusedly thought about who that woman could be.“Woman? Who?”“He couldn't recognize her because she covered almost her face.”Why do people love covering their faces? Scared of the sunburn or hiding from the authorities?Since it's a woman, there's no way Damon is in trouble. So, I don't give a fuck with that woman who stole Damon's phone a

THALIAMom and Dad quickly went to Paris last night. Leander and I left here in New York so that we wouldn't be embroiled in the quarrel with Laverde.It's my mother's family, so I'm afraid Mom will break down. I heard her screaming to Uncle Adam on the phone before they left. I sighed as I put down my spoon on the table. I glanced at Leander, who was also in deep thought in front of his breakfast.“What's gonna happen now?”“What else? Mom possibly cut her ties with them.” I tightly shut my eyes in frustration. Why are there traitors in our lives? “Are we just going to stay here and wait? Mom might break down.”Leander let out a frustrating sigh. “Dad is with her. Also, they won't let us tag along with them.”It's been two decades since that happened. Doesn't the grandfather's case have a statute of limitations? I wonder how they found evidence despite the long period since it happened. Anyway, if it really proves my granduncle was the suspect of my grandfather's death, I hope he

THALIAOne week.It's been one week since Damon went missing. I even helped in looking for him but to no avail. Not even the authorities could find Damon Kane. There's no body or anything that can lead to his whereabouts. It was as if he vanished into thin air.I was depressed and cried every night while I had this hope every day of finding him together with the authorities.My parents and Leander didn't complain about how I poured everything into this search and rescue. They can see through me how desperate I am just to find him and I was hoping he's alive and in a safe place.Uncle Michael, who caused all of this, was on the run and hiding somewhere. Where's his courage to kill off my father's happiness now? Maybe he was also the reason why Leander's secretary was abducted and injured. Leander poured his soul into finding her but was also abducted by Uncle Michael. As of now, I don't know why Leander's secretary was abducted.I refused to talk to Frederick. Not because I hate his

THALIAI mustered my courage to point my gun at the person who was about to invade the car, but I stopped to see someone as my reflection, sticking his head through the window.“Leander!”“Thalia? What the hell are you doing here?!”I immediately jerked off from the car but was greeted by a woman leaning at the car. She was wearing corporate attire without a coat, and a red stain was visible on her dirty, white sleeve. “Who is she?”“My secretary. She's injured.” Leander opened the door, and I helped him place the girl in the back seat.Why is his secretary here? Did he come to get her?A rustling sound inside the forest, followed by repeated shouts from men, made us freeze.“They followed us.” My brother growled.He pushed me inside the backseat and entered the driver's seat. He was about to start the engine hastily, but I immediately stopped him.“Wait, Damon is still not here!”“We don't have much time.”He shoved off my hand, but I stopped him again.“No! We need to wait for Dam

THALIAI immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me and kissing him harder than before. He lifted me and placed me on his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist. Our lips remained sealed. It was like we couldn’t get enough of each other, devouring one another. His hands were moving down, under my shirt, his fingers skimming over my skin, sending a rush of blood to every part of my body. His touch gave me the feeling of longing, and I relished every second he pushed his tongue and lips against mine. I lowered my hands and yanked his shirt up. He broke apart long enough to pull it over his head and toss it aside. His hands slid around my head, pulling me back to his mouth. I ran my hands down his abdomen. It was firm, with the perfect amounts of dips and ripples. His lips traveled down my neck and shoulders as he whispered sweet words in my ear. I gasped when he suddenly reclined the seat and softly moaned as I grabbed his face to meet my lips to communica

THALIAThe whole ride was filled with silence. He is driving his Ferrari while I'm here, sitting in the passenger seat with a lump in my throat. I don't know why I suddenly felt anxious being alone with Damon. The last time we saw each other, we were both fuming in our situation. But still, here I am, wanting to be with him while ignoring the supposed protocols.I gazed at him and saw his furrowed brows and solemn eyes focused on the road. Did he feel the same? Did he feel the awkwardness between us?"H-How did you find us?" I killed the silence."Actually... Leander and I talked before the abduction."I immediately gaze at him. "A-Are Are you the one who caused his wounds?" "Of course not. Do you think I'll harm your brother in that way?"I looked away while reprimanding myself for thinking he would do such a thing."N-No... you would not.""When I was going home after meeting him, Leander's secretary called me and tracked his phone." He explained, which left me with no choice but

THALIAI held my chest and felt my pounding heart while hearing his voice, calling my name repeatedly. Is that really him? Did he come to rescue me just like in fairytale movies?It's only been weeks since I haven't heard his voice and not seen his face, but it felt like I hadn't heard from him for years.The back of my eyes warmed, and I chuckled silently at my thoughts.He's always there when I'm in danger. He came to my rescue when I needed him the most. He's really indeed my knight in shining armor--"HERE!" I flinched when Leander shouted near my ear as he pounded his fist on the wall.That woke me up, and I immediately screamed at the top of my lungs. "DAMON, PLEASE SAVE US! THE CONTAINER IS BURNING INSIDE!""FUCK!"I leaned my ear on the wall when I only heard him cuss but eventually distanced myself from the wall because it was getting hotter."Are you sleeping?" He said while coughing.I raised my gaze and glared at Leander but he only scoffed annoyingly. I was about to talk
