"God, that was insane!" A still-shocked Anna shook her head slowly to rid herself of the memory that was still stuck in her head and had refused to disappear. It was like her mind kept going back to what she had seen at the hotel.

"Damn, how could I make such a stupid mistake!" Anna scolded herself for the tenth time, slowly hitting her forehead. She kept seeing him and it was only worse when she had her eyes shut. How could a man be so physically fit, yet freaking handsome like a Greek god? Anna thought and had no idea when a smile crept on her lips. The moment she realized it, the smile was replaced with a frown.

She had only seen him for a second and had looked away after that, but her mind suddenly drifted to what she had seen on his chest.

"How could a man have so many scars around his chest and yet look so perfect?" Anna asked herself as she thought about what she had seen, but then she shook her head again, telling herself that it was absolutely none of her business. With a dee

    "Lucas, did you check everything?" Dylan questioned, buttoning his shirt in front of the mirror with his hair neatly arranged and packed in a grand style."Yes, Ms Anna works the day shift, but care to tell me why you're still going to the party when she wouldn't be there?" Lucas asked, standing behind Dylan and staring at him with so much curiosity. It wasn't until after a minute Dylan turned back to return his gaze,"Maybe I need to get closer to him, I don't know, or maybe…" Dylan was silent for a few seconds, then he brought his gaze back to Lucas whose brows were arched,"Is that what you wanna hear me say, Lucas?"Lucas gave Dylan a surprised look, and it was at that moment he realized Dylan was teasing him. He let out a deep frown, "Here's your jacket. I checked the status of the company like you instructed, it's still like you expected, and the doctors were able to get your father to a stable condition for the moment. For now, we should be thankful the company's doing so well

    A loud resounding slap echoed in the room, and Liam immediately lowered his gaze afterward. "You fucking bastard!" James cursed as he turned around to take a deep breath to calm his nerves.Right now, the only thing running through his mind was Anastasia, and how the hell she even knew Dylan Scott of all people in the world. How the hell did she manage to know someone so powerful!!!Maybe everything was starting to make sense now. Was that the reason Dylan had agreed to come to the party? But then he recalled the question Dylan had asked her and discarded the first thought immediately wrecking his fingers through his hair."I need to get her back, Liam. I need to get my ex-wife back at all costs before that bastard tries to lay a claim on her." He turned around to stare at Liam who still had his gaze on the floor,"Now, listen to me, I need everything you can find out on Anastasia. Where does she live, and what she does? Whom she goes about with, I need every damn thing.""Yes sir," L

    "I thought you said she wasn't going to be there, Lucas, so what the hell happened?" Dylan questioned in anger. What if he had decided not to come for the party like Lucas had said, then Anna would have fucking been alone with that bastard."I was certain she wasn't going to be there, maybe something happened without my knowledge. There's something else, I found this on Lyon, he's behind the article as well."Dylan collected the envelope from Lucas and walked over to his bed. He sat down and opened it, taking out whatever was in there. They were photos of Lyon in bed with a lady.Dylan scoffed,"That fucking bastard, he could have tried harder to keep this away from me. No one else knows?"Lucas nodded his head, and once again, Dylan scoffed out loud. "Send this to him immediately, and ensure you leave a message as well. If he fucking messes with me once again, I'm fucking going to pull his company under the ground without a second thought."Dylan rose to his feet and picked up his je

    2 DAYS LATEREvery damn thing James had warned her about was slowly happening right before her very own eyes. Anna folded her arms on the couch with the remote tightly glued to her hands. It had to take so much effort for her not to stand up on her feet and head to James' house immediately.Soon, Anna curled her finger into a fist and looked away from the TV when she heard the nanny's voice,"Ma'am, I already put Emma to sleep, is there anything else you would like me to do?""No, thank you, Nanny Sophia,"The nanny nodded her head and began to head back up the stairs to her room while Anna remained on the couch. Fuck! Everything was beginning to slowly become a mess, knowing fully well that her father's company was about to go down the drain and her ex-husband had requested they get married again just to save it.What about Emma? Would she be happy with James? Anna thought about it for a second, but that thought was immediately discarded from her mind as she recalled every damn thing

    "It's two days left, and you're working?" Lucas questioned Dylan as he kept staring at him go through some files in a very serious manner on the couch."I know."Lucas turned his head sideways in curiosity as he stared at Dylan. This wasn't the Dylan he had known for years because a week like this really meant every damn thing to him and it was also at this time Dylan would usually be so silent, distant, and cold towards everybody including him."Okay, somethings wrong. Care to share." Lucas finally uttered after about ten minutes of silence, but Dylan simply raised his head to spare him a glance.He heaved deeply and said, "Do you think I'm going crazy?"Lucas arched his brows when he heard the question as he was confused. "What?""Oh, no, never mind. Did you send those stuff to Lyon?" Lucas cleared his throat aloud. He was worried about Dylan, but at the same time, he was glad Dylan was using days like this to keep himself busy with something and not think ok about his parent's dea

    "Take it easy, Anna, everything's going to be fine, trust me," Caroline uttered on the phone. It was best to talk to someone, and the only person Anna thought about was Caroline. She didn't tell her about James or about what he was planning because she was certain Caroline would want to step in the way."Thanks a lot, I really appreciate everything you've done for me Caroline, I love you so much.""I love you so much, Anna. I'll come to check up on you during the weekend okay."The call ended soon, and Anna leaned back on her couch. Maybe right now, she needed Emma to be here and available for her, but at the same time, Anna didn't want her daughter to see her at her weakest point. Anna's eyes were red, teardrops clinging to her eyelashes and tracking down her flushed cheeks with each sob. It was so hard to understand what the hell was happening. Her dream job was gone, and if she didn't help her family, they would lose every damn thing.Anna wrecked her hand into her hair and rose to

    Anna woke up with a bad feeling, staring at the wall for as long as she could until she heard her daughter call her attention."Mommy! Mommy!" Emma called and ran up to her mother for a hug and a peck on the forehead."My little angel, did you sleep well baby?" Emma nodded her head. "Mommy, I saw Daddy."Anna arched her brows and gripped her daughter's arms by mistake. When Emma winced in pain, she immediately let go. "I'm so sorry baby, I didn't know." Anna had been scared. Did James meet her daughter in secret?"Daddy, where did you meet Daddy?" Anna questioned wondering what the hell her daughter was saying. Her heart kept thumping so hard and fast as she stared at her daughter. "Damn it!" Anna cursed in silence knowing that her daughter would not be able to answer the question. "Nanny, nanny!" Anna called out loud and when Sophia rushed downstairs, Anna rose to her feet."Emma says she met her Daddy? What is my daughter talking about?""No, when we went to the park, she met a str

    Anna tried to calm herself down by gripping her gown tight. "What? What do you mean he's gonna do something stupid?""I can't tell you the whole story, but right now, you're all he needs. Dylan…" Lucas paused for a second, gripping the wheel so tight because he would have to let Anna in on some things he wasn't supposed to, but right now, Dylan's safety was more important.When Lucas was done talking, Anna could blink her brows as she kept staring at him. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed even though Lucas had ensured not to fill her in some extra things."Do you have any plans for tonight?""What, why? I have a daughter to go to and…""What?" Lucas had almost halted the car, but he didn't, "You have a daughter?""Yeah, I have a daughter," Anna responded surprised at his expression. "Please, I'm begging you, I'll make sure she's safe no matter what. I can send a car to pick up your daughter and keep her safe in the mansion, but you have to be with him till he's alright.

    EPILOGUE. SEVEN MONTHS LATER. A lot had happened in the past seven months since Dylan ran to the airport to stop Anna from leaving. Now, it wasn't smooth sailing between them; they both put in the work by going to therapy and working on their relationship, and they were good now, only choosing to go to therapy twice a month. Dylan stuck to his word, and he was the best husband; the night they came back home, he told her everything about her life, from the moment he was taken away to London, he told her everything, not leaving out any detail. He had also waited on her, hand and foot, since he found out she was pregnant, not letting her do any strenuous activities; he was the perfect husband and father. In those seven months, something else also took place, the cases were tried in court and her father and Mr. Smith were both sentenced for murder and Mr. Smith was first murder and attempted murder. Her father was sentenced to thirty years and Mr. Smith was

    Anna and Emma arrived at the airport about forty minutes later, they didn't have much, just two suitcases, one for Anna and one for Emma. Anna paid the driver, and she and Emma got out of the car. She held Emma's hand and used her other hand to wheel in the suitcases. They were about an hour early for their flight. They walked into the airport, and she checked in her bags, and their tickets were scanned. The attendant told her that they would announce when the flight started to board. Anna thanked her, and then she and Emma walked over to some chairs to sit down. Emma had been quiet throughout the journey, and Anna knew it was because she missed her dad; she hated that she was feeling that way; it was all her fault. She was the one that brought Dylan into their lives. “Hey, sweetie, do you want to watch some cartoons on my phone while we wait?” Anna asked Emma. “Sure, I guess.” Emma said as she shrugged. Anna put on Bluey for her and gave Emma t

    After Anna was discharged, she spent two days on bed rest by order of Caroline; she didn't complain, though; it gave her enough time to think of her next plan. Just like she thought, Dylan had not come to look for her, and she didn't blame him; in the end, they weren't meant to be together; there were too many secrets and lies between them, but it still didn't change the fact that she loved him. Emma has been asking for him constantly, and Anna has had to lie that he was away on a business trip, but she knew that lie wouldn't last forever. So she had to plan, she knew one thing for sure, and that was she couldn't stay in New York, and if she was settling down in another place, it couldn't be London. So after two days of planning she decided that she and Emma would move to Australia, there was a hotel there that had been trying to poach her for months, so she called them and asked if the job was still available, they said yes and she accepted it. The job came with a

    Anna blinked her eyes open and she was hit with a blinding light that she had to close her eyes and groan in pain. “Anna, are you awake?” She heard Caroline ask. She opened her eyes slowly so she could get used to the light, and when they were fully opened, she saw Caroline standing by her side. “Oh, thank God you're awake; you gave me quite a scare, Anna. I'll be right back, let me go and get the nurse.” Caroline said and then she left the hospital room. Anna was confused. How did she get here? The last thing she remembered was watching the press conference with Caroline and Emma was sleeping. Emma? Where is Emma? Anna frantically sat up on her bed as he looked around the room but there was no sign of Emma. Caroline walked back into the room with a nurse. “Welcome back Mrs. Knight.” The nurse said. “Caroline, where's Emma?” Anna asked, her voice was scratchy because her throat was dry. “They have a daycare here; I didn't think that you'd wan

    After Dylan saw Anna's car drive off, every atom in his body wanted to go after her but he couldn't. He had to attend the press conference and he wasn't worried because Marcus was with her. Fucking Kate, it was like she planned it or something. He had to come in through the back and go up to his office because everyone thought that he was dead and then a few minutes after he walked into his office, Kate walked in. Her eyes were red and it was clear that she had been crying. When she saw him she hugged him so tight saying that she knew he wasn't dead, Dylan asked her why she was in his office and she said she was there to beg for her life and that Dylan should spare her, she confessed that she was working with James but only to get him away from Anna and they she had nothing to do with the plane crash. Dylan wasn't shocked to hear that she was working with James; I mean, it would explain the pictures they were sent to Anna; someone had to take them. While s

    “Let's go to the living room so I'll be able to keep an eye on Emma.” Anna told Caroline. “Why do you need to keep an eye on Emma? Anna, what's going on?” Caroline asked again. “I'll tell you everything, let's just go sit down.” Anna told her and then they both went into the living room and sat on the couch facing the TV and opposite where Emma was sleeping so Anna was able to keep an eye on her. “You better start explaining yourself, Anastasia George, or is it Knight now?” Caroline asked her. Anna released a huge breath and then she proceeded to tell Caroline everything. How she met Dylan at the hotel, how she got into a contract marriage with him and in exchange, he agreed to protect her from James and bring him down. How they went to London, Emma's kidnapping, and her heart condition. She told her how they slowly but surely fell in love and admitted their feelings to each other. How everything was so good and then it all went so bad, from the th

    Anna ran as fast as she could, she could hear Dylan call out her name behind her but she didn't stop to look back. It was all too much, he had lied to her about everything. She got into the elevator and frantically tapped on the button for the down floor. She could see Dylan getting closer, but the doors closed just in time. She wasn't free just yet, and she knew it; she wouldn't be until she got as far away from Dylan Knight as possible. The elevator doors opened, and she stepped out; she knew Dylan wasn't far behind, probably opting to use the stairs. She ran out of the lobby. She knew she was drawing attention to herself, but she didn't care. She stepped outside, and thankfully, Marcus listened to her and the car was still parked outside the office. She ran to the car and opened the door. “Drive Marcus now.” Anna told him with urgency. “What's going on Mrs. Knight?” Marcus asked her. “Just drive Marcus.” Anna told him as she looked back at t

    Anna slowly brought out the folder that had her name on it. She opened it up and on the first page was her basic information, her name, date of birth, house address, place of work, things like that and then she flipped to the second page and she saw her pictures, pictures from when she was picking Emma up from school, going to work and coming back from work. Did Dylan have her followed? She continued flipping through the pages, and she could see that this folder was like a dossier on her life; everything about her was in that file: her marriage to James and her parents. Anna didn't understand why Dylan had this. It was when she flipped to the next page that her heart dropped to her stomach. They were pictures, and she recognised the place, it was the club, and she was more sure of it because, at the top of that page, it was written in block letters: ANNA SIX YEARS AGO. She looked at the pictures, and the more she flipped through them, the memories from that night

    By the time Dylan was done with his call and he went up to their bedroom, Anna was asleep. His talking to her would have to wait till tomorrow, but he had to do it before the arrests were made because once they were made public, she would surely put two and two together. Especially since Lucas informed him that she wanted to find him, something happened when she went to see her parents, that had to be the only reason why she wanted to find him urgently. But what could've happened? Could she have found out the truth? No, that couldn't be it, whatever it was, he would ask her about it tomorrow morning after he told her the truth, that's if she was still talking to him after. He took off his shirt and trousers, left only his briefs on and then he got into bed with Anna and wrapped his arms around her, even in her sleep, Anna turned around, seeking his warmth. ************ The next day, Dylan woke up expecting to have Anna by his side, but when he opened his eyes
