A knock was rasped on the door disrupting James' attention from his laptop,

"Come in..."

The door opened afterward, and his secretary walked in,

"Sir, someone is here to see you. He says his name is Mr Patrick.."

His eyes widened,

"Let him in immediately." He instructed his secretary and seeing the level of his seriousness, she rushed out immediately.

A few minutes later, a young man with a bag across his shoulders walked in,

"Have a seat," James said, and when the man did, he cleared his throat aloud,

"Do you have anything for me?”

“Oh yes I do” he replied almost immediately, he took his seat reached out his hands into his bag to bring out some documents, and handed them over to James

“Here you go, sir”

Based on my investigation, the pictures you're seeing there are Dylan and Anna going into the wedding gown exhibition hall to shop for a gown, I couldn't get more pictures because Dylan had already rented the hall for some hours

    "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."

    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

    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
