As soon as James got home and halted the car, he stepped out of it and wrecked his fingers through his hair as memories of those photos played in his head.Then the party at the hotel weeks ago.How the hell did Anna know a man like Dylan? There had to be an explanation to everything and he was going to get to the root of it all“Hey baby” Kendra said running down the stairs towards James, a happy expression written all over her face. She missed him a lot, She tried pulling him in for a hug, but he pushed her away,A sad expression was all she could see on his face.Still staring at him, the only thought that came to her mind was that something had definitely happened at work today, but she couldn't fathom what it was.Without saying a word to her, James headed to his room, he opened the door and walked in. The first thing he did was loose his tie and throw it on the bed. With a deep sigh, he fell flat on the bed as his mind was filled with the news of Anna's marriage with Dylan. Jame
Dylan sat in his study room going through some work document. He tried working since the whole day was spent picking out a wedding dress for Anastasia. He was interrupted by the sudden knock rasped on his door, he lifted his head to see who it was, Lucas opens the door and walked towards him “Sir, I got another call from Liam, James is threatening to call off the contract if the meeting isn't held” Dylan dropped his pen, got up from his chair and walked towards the window with his hands in his pocket, a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He knew this meeting was about work but about Anna. He was about to turn down the meeting again when an idea crossed his mind.Dylan suspected that James knew nothing about Emma, so he decides to use that opportunity to find out if he knows about having a daughter with Anna or not.He turned towards Lucas,"Set up the meeting tomorrow by 10am.""Yes sir." Lucas responded and with that, he turned to walk out of the study room. At work, Dylan was in
"What." Anna shouted in shock, she couldn't believe what she just heard. "I'm sorry, Dylan, what did you just say?" She asked him, a look of confusion on her face. "I said that you can go back to work now." "Yes I heard that part,but what was the second part?" Anna asked Dylan. "You're the new manager of Kings Enterprise." He told her with a very serious expression on his face and Anna could tell that he wasn't joking. "Dylan, that's not possible, I can't be the new manager of Kings Enterprise." "Well I'm telling you that you are, and nothing is impossible for me Anna, you should know that by now." Dylan told her with a smirk on his face. "But Dylan I can't be the manager, I just wanted to go back to my normal job at the hotel. There was no need for you to do all of this." "I know that, but I wanted to." He told her still not budging on the idea. "And I really appreciate it but I can't possibly accept that position, I'll be fine with j
"I'll call you later Lucas." Anna heard Dylan say from his office and she immediately started to panic should she stay where she was, or should she high tail it outta there, she didn't want it to look like she was eavesdropping on his conversation, even though that's exactly what she was doing. She wasted too much time deciding what to do and then Dylan was already out of his office and he halted his steps when he saw Anna standing a few feet away from him. "What are you doing out here?" He asked Anna, trying to do his best to hide the shocked and guilty look away from his face. In his mind he was hoping that she did not hear his conversation with Lucas about James. "Uhmmm, I didn't want to interrupt you, that's why I stayed outside. I just wanted to let you know that Emma and I are ready." She told him and then he looked at her trying to discern the emotions on her face to find out if she heard his conversation but he couldn't tell. "I'm sorry for keeping y

James was at his home office, ever since his meeting with Dylan and after the way he talked to him, he hasn't gone to work, he has been working from his home office until he could figure out how to take down Dylan from his pedestal and at the same time get Anna back. Dylan wasn't a god, there was surely something that he could do to hurt him as bad as he had hurt James by taking Anna from him. James picked up his phone and dialed Mr. Patrick, for his plan to work, he was going to need his help. Mr. Patrick picked up the call on the third ring. "Good afternoon Mr. Smith." Patrick greeted James when he answered the call. "Afternoon Mr. Patrick. I need your help with something." James told him. "Of course sir, whatever it is, I'm happy to help." Mr. Patrick said. "Ok, well you did such a good job following Dylan and Anna last time. Now I need you to look into his past for me, find out if he has any skeletons in his closet, and most importantly I need you t
They walked out of the garden and towards the garage where Dylan's luxury cars were parked. They took the SUV because that's where Emma's car seat was and it had enough space for the three of them. Dylan insisted on driving his family himself and then his security took another car and followed behind them. Emma was buckled in her car seat and she sat down, all her attention was on her iPad where she watched her cartoons while Anna sat in the passenger seat next to Dylan. “So where would you like to go first?” Dylan asked Anna as he drove and kept his eye on the road. “I don't understand,” Anna told him she was confused. “Well I mean which of the stores do you want to start from, we could go to the mall, most of the designer brands have shops there or we could go down to 5th Avenue where all of them are,” Dylan answered her. Anna just stared at him, she couldn't believe that this was her life now, she was so used to going to the thrift store to get her
An hour later, Dylan parks the car at the underground parking lot at the mall. It took them up to an hour because there was traffic. They didn't talk much after Dylan told Anna the reason he built his mansion in the suburbs, Emma got cranky so Anna had to go to the back seat to stay with her. Anna and Dylan got out of the car, Dylan opened the back seat unbuckled Emma from her car seat, and carried her down, he set her on the floor but he still held her hand. His security men came down from where they parked their car and walked towards them. “Do they have to follow us?” Anna asked Dylan. “Yes they do, it's for our safety,” Dylan told her but she still didn't like it. “But we're at the mall Dylan and no one know about me and you yet, I think we will draw more attention to ourselves if people see us with bodyguards,” Anna told Dylan and he had to admit that she had a point, he had never gone out like this before, if he wanted anything, Lucas usually took
