"Anastasia… got kidnapped." He said in a breathless tone and there was a pin drop silent for a second before Selena lost the strength on her legs and was going to fall down.
Luckily Noah was close to her and was quick to hold her by her waist before she could drop on the ground and hurt herself.
"Selena! Be strong! Please! Be strong!" Noah said while taking her in his arms and made her sit down on the couch. She let out a small humourless chuckle, her face was blank, void of any emotions.
"I… I… must have heard him wrong, right? Anastasia is fine, right? She is… sleeping in the suite. Why did you leave her alone there?! Do you know that she gets nightmares?! She is going to be so scared! I have to go to her! If she has a nightmare, only I can handle her. Oh god! How stupid you are to leave her there alone! Noah, can you please take me to her. I have to be with her." Selena kept blabbering while not giving anyone any chan
"You all must have a lot of questions, right? About how I know her? How am I connected to her? Why am I reacting like this? How do I know that man? So many questions, right?" Selena asked in a small tone while looking at distance with a blank look.Everyone just exchanged worried looks but didn't interfere in her talk. She let out a humourless laugh after a few seconds, confusing everyone more than necessary."You all will be shocked to know that I don't know her recently, three years ago, five years ago or ten years ago. I have known her since she was five and we were six." She said with a sad smile as tears kept rolling down her eyes without any break. She didn't even try to wipe them and let them fall freely."We?" Noah asked in a low tone while looking at her with a small frown. She looked at him with a smile of agony and he felt like it was a stab at his stomach."Me and my identical twin sist
"So, what was I saying?" Richard asked."Something about my past." She reminded him and he smirked."Right. So, are you excited to know about your past?" He asked with a smirk. She didn't say anything, just kept quiet. But that seemed to anger the psychopath as he landed another slap on her cheeks. She gritted her teeth as she could test blood inside her mouth. That bastard just busted her lips! "Answer me when I ask something. You seem to forget all your manners in this three years, huh?" He shouted at her face.She wanted to shout at him in the face and say that she has changed. She wanted to let him know that she wasn't the meek Anastasia whom he used to torment anymore. She has changed and changed for the better. She is now capable of fighting for herself. She is now capable of protecting herself.But she can't say that. It's going to ruin everything for her. It's going to ruin everything that
"You are what?!" Everyone except Darius and Colton shouted in disbelief as they looked at the new person in shock."I am Anastasia's uncle." The man said with a proud look on his face as he said that.The man was in his late thirties and was a fine looking man. He has muscles and a strong aura. He was carrying a confident posture. Oddly enough, his facial features matched Anastasia a lot."Unbelievable! She… she is an orphan. She has lost everyone in a tragic accident. How can you be her uncle?" Selena asked in shock."You are right. We both lost our every closed one in the preplanned murder. Be she got saved because she was a lucky charm and I got saved maybe because I was her favourite person in the house." He said and let out a light chuckle after remembering some past memories.Even in that situation, Diana and Selena couldn't help but cru
"You are going to regret raising that hand of yours at me." Anastasia threatened in a hard tone while looking at Richard with a glare. Her face was bloody as the father and daughter duo removed all their frustration on her pretty face while she couldn't do anything other than being tied to that chair. So frustrating! If only her hands were untied! She would have showed them the real meaning of torture. They were torturing her because she denied signing the property papers. She knew that at that moment, the more she delayed the longer she lived until someone came to save her. She would die but will never sign those papers. "Oh, yeah? Who is going to make us regret? Your dead body?" Melissa asked and landed another punch on her gut and she coughed blood. But she still managed to smile to irritate Melissa and Richard.
THREE MONTHS LATER "Miss Anastasia, you have to get that thing out of your mind! It's not doing any good to you. You have been through all these previously and you know how worse this can get! You have to keep believing in yourself!" The woman whom Anastasia has been seeing from the past three months said in a tired tone. At that moment, Anastasia thought that it was time to change the therapist. Yes, the woman in front of her was her therapist and she was lying down on the couch present in the room which has become too familiar to her. The therapist has now started to irritate her. She is literally forcing her to believe something which is really hard for her. How can she believe it?! She wasn't stupid or sick now to hallucinate something which she didn't do, was she? No! She has changed and is over that phrase of her life. Now she remembers everything, every happenings of her li
A FEW HOURS LATER "Ahh… my heart! It hurts!" Anastasia groaned out loudly as she slowly started to come back to consciousness. She clutched her head tightly with one hand and used the other hand to sit up. Underneath her hand was soft material, meaning she was on bed. She sat up completely and leaned back, at the head board. She finally opens her eyes slowly and looks around in confusion. Her sight was still a little bit fuzzy. She closed her eyes before opening them again and this time was seeing clearer. She looked around the room in confusion as it looked really familiar to her. She looked with more concentration and soon realised where she was. She had mixed feelings about this. She was happy, excited and confused as well. So, without thinking, she hurriedly tried to get down from the bed and that's when she realised what a foolish step it was as her head suddenly spinne
"Now, it's time for the main event for the day!" The host said on the mic in a cheerful tone and the whole audience in the ballroom shouted a cheer. "Today we have witnessed such an incredible fashion show in the history of fashion. All the dresses were remarkably beautiful, gorgeous and eye stunning which is going to create havoc in the fashion world. Now it's time to get introduced to the creator of the havoc!" The host said and took a mysterious break before announcing the name on the mic. "Let's welcome, the very talented and beautiful and gorgeous, ANASTASIA SAMUEL!" The host announced and the audience shouted loudly once again and the loud sound of claps made the building almost move. From the backstage, Anastasia took a deep breath to calm her raging nerves down. Today is the big day of her life. Today she is going to fulfill her dreams of being a successful fashion designer. Today she is g
He looked at her in shock. He wasn't expecting her to forgive him nor did he expect her to be so blank. Her posture wasn't welcoming at all and he didn't want to fulfill his next set of plans after that. "Th... thank you so much, Anastasia for forgiving me." He stammered while looking down in shame, not knowing what to do or say anymore. "Do you want to say anything else?" She asked in the same monotonous tone which was like some invisible slap for him. He got up from his previous position to stand straight and looked at her with a soft look. He couldn't take her dead look anymore. It was suffocating him and he wanted to leave the place as fast as he could. "Thank you for forgiving me and sorry once again for ruining your special day once again." He said that in a small voice before hurriedly turning around to leave the place. Anastasia was
