(Anastasia's POV)I watched Caleb's back as he hummed to himself comfortably. It's pretty obvious that he's in a good mood. I wonder why. He was stirring a pot of something and he turned to look at me. "What?" he asked as I smiled at him."You should let me cook," I replied, my phone lighting up on the kitchen counter.I glanced at it before ignoring it. "I like cooking, it clears my head," he replied. If I know, he's bragging about his cooking skills again."I know that, but I'm your wife, so let me do the honor to serve my dearest husband," I replied, as I walk towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist, closing the distance between our bodies. "Right?" I run my hands at his spine, going down to his bulky ass, and squeeze it. He moans in pleasure and chuckles at my gesture. I can't get enough of his sexy bulky butt."Then if you want to serve your dearest husband, why not make it tonight?" he sexily said and kissed me gently on my lips before he sprinkled some parsley into th
(Anastasia's POV)"Let's go," Caleb said, wrapping me in his arms before opening the door to his car.I climbed in as Caleb climbed into the driver's side and pulled his seat belt on. He started driving again, falling back onto the freeway. His hand slid onto my thigh, only taking it off to change gears. I smiled at him, staring at his silhouette as city lights passed us. He glanced in the rearview mirror twice in a row. Frowning, I glanced in the side mirror.It was the same car from the other day. "They really don't give up, do they?" I asked, turning to Caleb.He shook his head. "I'm sorry love, I wanted this night to be special," he said, looking at me."Do what you have to do, I trust you," I said, taking a hold of his hand.He sped the car and the car following us sped up too. This time, they pushed us forward with the front of their car. Caleb grabs his phone and punches something before our tires skidded on the asphalt. Caleb changed lanes quickly dodging between cars. The t
(Anastasia's POV)"Damian bought you cheeseburgers and fries since he finished eating the fruits Aunt and Uncle bought, are you okay with that?" he asked as he walked to the table, grabbed the paper bag, and walked back to his bed.I stood up in the bedside chair quickly. "Really? Yes! I'm okay with that." I said as he chuckled."I know, this is not healthy but there is no restaurant opened at this hour, only a 24/7 convenience store and fast food drive-thru." I rolled my eyes and sat back on the chair. As usual, the healthy guy."What's the difference between fast food and making your own burger and fries? It is still bread with patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce, and potato fried in oil with cheese?" he chuckled."The cook itself." I glare at him. So his cook is healthy while the professional cook is not? "We don't know how did they cook this food. If it is used oil or not, if the utensils or the pan itself is clean or not, we don't know that since we can't clearly see how they p
(Anastasia's POV)W-What? D-Divorce?No... No... I won't.I rush out to the room, "No..." Mom stopped in her trance. I know she will feel surprised that it's the first I disobey her decision. Well, maybe the second time around after the Italy matter.She exhales deeply and looks at me as if I committed a huge sin. "Are you disobeying me now?"I slowly shook my head. "I love him, Mom. And he feels the same. You can't force me to divorce him unwillingly. This marriage will survive if you give us your full support, the same as the very first time I introduced him to you." "You have to listen to me, Anastasia!" she yells but I did not flinch. I expected her to be this furious, knowing what I had been caused from the very beginning, by lying."No... I-I know you're so damn mad right now, but can you just support me for real this time, Mom?""That's final, Anastasia. Don't let me drag you out of this country." "NO!" she stops. I froze too. I realized what I just did. This is the first I d
(Anastasia's POV)Adam and Caleb aimed a gun at each other, darting a death glare into their eyes as if they were cursing at each other silently."C-Caleb... A-Adam..." they both turn their head toward me. "Put that fucking gun down now!" I yelled to them, I heard a gasp behind me, I turn around to see Mom widening eyes, fear plastered in her eyes, the same with Alice.A fresh swell of rage rose in me as I pursed my lips with my narrowed face while shooting Adam and Caleb a death glare. They avoided my eyes before they slowly lowered their gun and tucked in the gun at their belly pants.Jesus Christ!Why are they showing their guns in front of my Mom and Alice? They're scaring them! Fury roared through my mind but was eventually gone when my eyes landed on Caleb, he has still his wounds, plastered on his face. Why did he have to come here with all of his wounds? He should be resting by now. My eyes stop on his yearning dark brown eyes. He looks at me full of pain, desperation, and s
(Caleb's POV)I always knew she would return to me but this is not what I expected. I never thought this would really happen between us.Divorce.All my dreams of us being together were shattered right in front of my face. I couldn't believe that it will end up this early. How did Amanda found out the paper? I should have thrown that the moment I confessed to Anastasia. I know she would be angry by our actions but... Divorce? I can't do that. Tears began to roll down my face, I wish that I had had more time to be with her longer, to tell her how much I love her. I was too caught up in taking them time to breathe and sink into the situation we had. Suddenly, they are taking her away from me, and that matters now.I can't let her go.She is the only one who can understand me, and my ups and downs. She made me into a whole person, she's the piece that I need to fill the life that I almost ruined because of the past. She made me believe true love exists. I need her in my life. I need her
(Caleb's POV)I felt a bucket of ice water thrown on my chest waking me up from my hell. My body was drenched in sweat. I felt as if I couldn't breathe. The more I tried to catch my breath the more a failed."You look terrible, dude, even worse than what Alice had said," Damian said throwing me with another bucket.I looked up to see a smacking Damian, he has always loved the sight of my misery."Go away, Damian.""Now that you said it, I'm not leaving your side. I'm gonna be there for you and make sure you feel a lot worse than you already do. After all, that's what brothers are for."Everything came back to me again, all I could see was her face. The thought of losing her totally frightened me, I just couldn't bear it. I wouldn't be able to survive it."You are doing that thing again," Damian said slapping his face and bringing me back to reality."What thing?" I asked with confusion.He let out a breath. "That ugly face you make whenever you are thinking.""If you are here to mock
(Anastasia's POV)I felt weak. My eyes could barely open. I couldn't move my hands, they were tied up to a pole, with something I couldn't see. My head felt heavy, I could only hear the sounds of water dripping and whispers.I slowly began to regain my conscience. I finally opened my eyes. The room was dark, there was no window and there was only one door which was up against the stairs. I assumed this might have been a basement.Nothing around me looked familiar. I couldn't tell whether it was night or day.All my memory's started coming back to me slowly. I was still in the same clothes I had been wearing when I am looking for Caleb. But how I got here or where I was, I was still not certain.The room was cold and dusty like someone had not been in there for ages. I could smell blood, but I guess that might have been my blood since blood was running down my face, my hands two might have been bleeding as well because they were tired and very tight.My whole body felt as if it was dra
