“You expect me to believe that you went to London?” Anna asked Dylan. “No, I didn't go to London, I went to my birth parents' house.” Dylan told Anna. “Oh, but I thought your parents were….” Anna trailed off. “Yes, they're dead; you can say it, Anna.” Dylan said. “Then why did you go to their house?” Anna asked Dylan. “Because I haven't been there since they died and because I'm ready to move on and have a life with you and Emma, and before I can do that, I had to put those ghosts to bed.” Dylan told Anna, and as he said those words, he realised they were true; that might not have been the reason that he went to his parent's house, but he realised that him going there was him finally confronting his demons. “So you weren't with Kate all day?” Anna asked Dylan. “No, baby, no, I wasn't. I think she followed me or something because the moment I stepped out of the restaurant, she was there. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me.
The next morning, when they both woke up, it was to find Emma, sitting at the foot of the bed with a huge grin on her face. Anna had absolutely nothing to worry about, just like Dylan had said; Emma was just happy to see both her parents together. They all had breakfast and then got ready for work while Nanny Sofia got Emma ready for school. As usual, they dropped off Emma first, then Anna at Kings Hotel and then Dylan went to work at Kings Enterprise. He was holding out on presenting his idea of a takeover of Prestige to his board of directors. He needed to know the full story of what happened to his parents first, but for now, the cash influx from his company and the fact that he was now the CEO of Prestige has settled a lot of people's minds, and the stock prices are slowly coming up. He walked out of the elevator to his floor and Lucas was waiting for him, his planner in hand. “Good morning Mr. Knight.” Lucas greeted. Dylan wasn't angry at him for telli
“No way, your ex-wife?” Finn asked Dylan. “Yeah, I was as shocked as you.” Dylan said and Finn shook his head. “I remember getting up in the middle of the night to answer a call from Mr. Scott, telling me that he needed me to draft up divorce papers and an NDA.” Finn said. “Yeah, you should've added a restraining order to it.” Dylan said. “What exactly is going on that you want to file a restraining order against her?” Finn asked. “She came to the house in London, and Anna saw her; Kate got angry when she found out I was married again. I threw her out, and I thought that was the end of it. We flew back to New York, and she was at our hotel; she made a ruckus and accused a worker of theft, thinking that I would be the one to come down and handle it, but instead, it was Anna, which pissed her off even more. Anna's security told me what was happening, so I went there immediately; she hurled all kinds of insults at Anna. I warned her not to
Earlier That Day; Anna walked into her office with Marcus behind her; immediately, she got in, and the two receptionists who were rude to her on her first day greeted her. That day she gave the both of them a stern talk about their behaviour, and ever since then they've been good, which she was happy to see, it must also have to do with the fact that Anna told them if she caught them behaving like that again, they would be fired. Marcus took his spot; he had a seat by the elevator, Anna had told him.he didn't have to wait there all day, but he insisted, saying that was his job and it was clear Anna wasn't going to convince him to stop, so she stopped talking about it. She walked into her office and sat behind her desk. A few minutes later, Grace came in. “Good morning Miss. George.” She greeted. “Good morning, Grace; how many times have I told you to just call me Anna.” Anna said and Grace smiled and shook her head. “Yeah,I tried, but it's
Anna glared at her mother as she realised that she may have just been deceived. “I didn't lie, Anastasia; he is sick but not as bad as I made it out to be; I knew that was the only way I could get you to come and sew him.” Her mother pleaded. “God, Mother, you would do anything for that man; I'm pretty sure if he told you to jump off a bridge, you would do it; what kind of hold does he have over you? Did he even want to see me?” Anna asked her mother. “Yes, he did; every other thing I said is true. He does want to see and he regrets everything that he did to you but you know him, he was just too proud to pick up the phone. Please Anna, just come in and talk to him.” Her mother said. Anna stood outside the door, contemplating what to do. Finally, she decided to go in and get it done once and for all; once she had this talk with him, she would finally put her parents where they belonged, in her past. Because unless they were both willing to put in the wo
Anna knew a little about Alzheimer's patients, and she knew it was better to let them play the memory out rather than interrupt them because if you did, they would just end up confused and agitated. Anna wanted to leave and call her mother, but she stayed because of what her father was talking about. He thought she was Mr Smith, so he could either be talking to James' father or his grandfather. “I talked to him, Greg; he's not with our cause; I told you talking to him was a waste of time. He's a white-collar man; he won't do the things that we need him to do once he gets the seat.” Her father said, and then he went quiet like he was listening to the other person and through all this, he kept looking at Anna like she was Greg. “Oh, you talked to the wife. Do you think she'll be able to convince him to step down?” Her father asked. “Well, we can't put all our hope on her; we have to come up with another plan, a permanent plan.” Mr. Williams said, and imme
Anastasia let out a deep sigh, wrecking her fingers into her hair so she could try and stop thinking about anything. She had come here to free her mind, probably hoping that some loud music in the club would do, but was she wrong? Maybe that wasn't what she wanted at the moment. All Anna wanted at the moment was to stop her existence for just a few days, or rather to stop time so she could free herself from the torment she was going through right now!Her heart was heavy, her mind filled with a lot of her past, and her eyes were swollen because she couldn't cry anymore.James was cheating! Again!Anna let out a small whimper. She had given her all to the man she never loved for a year, trying to make her marriage work out just well by sacrificing a lot, even her heart, but nothing was working. James wasn't going to change.She averted her gaze to the drink still half empty in front of her and cleaned the tears that had managed to escape her eyes even when she didn't want it to.It had
3 WEEKS LATER.An extremely tired Anna walked into the house, heading straight for her room, but Anna immediately paused when she heard funny and giggling noises around the corridor.She didn't waste time and headed straight for James' room where she was certain the noise was coming from. As she stared at another woman in the arms of her husband, Anna shook her head because there was certainly no need to be frustrated since the divorce documents were almost ready. All she had to do was to get him to sign the papers and walk out of his life immediately. Anna let out a deep sigh and shut the door. She took a left turn, heading for her room because more than anything, she had her problems to think about.The doctor must have been wrong. Anna wanted to keep reassuring herself that she wasn't pregnant just yet until she had confirmed it by herself. She locked the door and headed for the room while tucking her hand into her handbag. Fear gripped her heart so much staring at the pregnancy te
