James was back at work in his own office at the company and not back at his home office. Just because Dylan won the first round didn't mean that he would stay home and cower. If he wanted his father's blessing to marry Anna he still had to get Prestige, his company, to be number one in the world. There was a knock on his door and then Liam walked in. “Liam you better have some good news for me.” James told him. Liam walked up to James desk, with his tablet in hand. “Yes sir, I think you'll be happy with what I've found.” Liam said to James. “Ok, take a seat and tell me what you've found.” James said. “Well I looked at all three of Kings enterprise subsidiaries and the best one for us to go after is the pharmaceutical one.” Liam said and then handed a file over to James. “As you can see there, the pharmaceutical section is more open to corporate espionage that the other two sections. They currently have a drug that is in development for high blood
After Dylan, Anna, and Emma got back from the mall, Anna and Emma went up to their rooms to wash up and get some rest before dinner, but Dylan went into his home office to catch up on some work and reply to emails. Dylan put on his laptop and was just about to get to work when his phone rang, he looked down at the caller ID and saw that it was Lucas. He picked it up. “Good evening Lucas, is there a reason you're calling this late at night?” Dylan asked him. “Good evening sir, I'm sorry for interrupting your night, but it's an emergency,” Lucas said, and when Dylan heard the word emergency, that got his full attention. “What is it? What's the emergency?” Dylan asked. “It's Lyon,” Lucas said and just the sound of his brother's name made Dylan's blood boil with rage. “What about him?” Dylan asked. “Well, he seems to be still very persistent on getting Mr. Scott's will and altering it. The law firm that took care of your father's last will
After Dylan left her alone in the dining room, Anna sat down there trying to come to gems with what Dylan had just told her. She knew that she had to marry him, and she had agreed. But still, now that it was this close, it was a different thing. It was one thing saying that you were going to do something, but then going through with it was another thing altogether. Then there was Dylan who was behaving differently, when didn't know if this was just him being in a mood or if this was how he was going to be moving forward. She shouldn't complain I mean it's not like he was maltreating her or stepping out on her like James did. He had done most of what he promised, he took care of her and Emma and he was also a very good father to Emma, she could tell that her little girl already loved him so much. So she shouldn't be complaining about his attitude towards her, but still, it hurt. Somewhere in her mind, she had thought that this arrangement might move from a contract to so

James came back home and he noticed that Kendra's car was parked in his garage. He wasn't expecting her, and he didn't tell her to come over, had it been any other day, he would be angry, but today after the things he just found out about Dylan, he felt like celebrating and Kendra was a good fuck, that is when she wasn't talking. He walked into the house, expecting her to be in her room but he could hear her voice coming from the kitchen. “Oh baby, you're home.” Kendra squealed when she saw James and then went to hug him, he didn't even bother pushing her off like he normally would, because he was too stunned by the sight that greeted him. There were different kinds of food laid out on the table and all the candles were lit up. When he finally recovered from his shock, he pushed Kendra off him. “Kendra, what exactly is going on here?” He asked her, he tried to maintain a cool exterior, but on the inside, he was seething with anger. “Oh baby did you forget,
Dylan was back at his office, a part of him felt bad for leaving or rather sneaking out of the house that morning to avoid Anna, but it had to be done. Somehow in just the few days that they had spent together, Anna was able to breach the walls that he had built up around himself ever since he lost his parents. He couldn't let that happen yes he admits that he does care about her but he can't let it go any further, after a year their contract runs out, and he'll have everything he wants and she'll be gone. He wasn't meant for love, tragedy always came to those who loved him, starting with his parents and then Mr. Scott. He wouldn't let that happen to Anna. He spent most of his day, going through his emails and attending meetings that he couldn't have on video chat when he would be in London. Everything was looking well, all three branches of Kings Enterprise were in the green and the Pharmaceutical branch was close to releasing a drug that would take them to the
Anna stared at Dylan and he stared back at her, Anna read the look on his face and as much as he tried to remain indifferent, Anna could see in his eyes that he was scared, which made her think that he needed this contract just as much as she did. “What if I was backing out of the agreement?” Anna asked him, she wasn't though, but she wanted to get a reaction out of him, crack the cold exterior that he had put on since yesterday. “Then I wouldn't fault, it's your choice,” Dylan told her but deep down he was hoping that she wouldn't change her mind. Seeing that her plan didn't work, Anna released a huge sigh and rested back against her seat. “I'm not going back on the agreement, we had a deal and you have more than left up to your end of it,” Anna told Dylan. Anna couldn't see it but her words made Dylan's heart rate come down. “Good, so why haven't you told her?” Dylan asked Anna again. “Daddy, are you and mummy fighting?” Emma asked as she looked at t
Anna ran into her room and locked the door behind her. She was such a fool, believing for one second that she they could be a family. She wouldn't be making that mistake again, she was going to fulfill her end of the deal and be the wife that Dylan wanted and then when the contract was over, she would leave. But apart from him acting cold towards her today, there was something different about him, the way he called her by her full name, there were only three people that ever called her Anastasia and those were her parents and her childhood friend Dylan. That's who he reminded her of this night, but there's no way that the both if them could be the same person, her friend was kind and loving and Dylan was the complete opposite. It took her a while, but she finally got control of her emotions, she left her room to go check on Emma. When she entered Emma's room, the lights were off except for her barbie night light. Her baby girl was asleep on the bed and next to her was
