31st July 1999
Aanya's POV:
Chester came back around 8 in the morning by that time I was ready to leave the hospital and go back to my apartment.
When I went back, first I cleaned up the place a bit as I left it messed up. After that, I made some breakfast – Hotdogs. I went to have a bath. I soaked in the cold water for 30 mins. After my bath I brushed my teeth again, after that, I applied the cream all over my body and sprayed some deodorant. I chose a cropped sweater and brown jeans. I wore a simple necklace with a single heart on the front, light makeup and straightened out my hair with a brush and left it out. I took my purse and phone with me and walked to the front door, got out and waited for a cab. When the cab came I went to the company first to take my document and when I gave the destination name the driver gave me a look of fear. When I got out of the cab I asked the driver to wait for me and he parked a bit away from where I got dropped off.
I went to the front desk and saw the same lady as yesterday over there. I asked her for the instruction and went there. I got the file and I was walking out, when I checked the time it was already 9:30 am and I need to be at work at this time, 'shit I am late' I thought to myself. I started speed walking a bit and didn't notice where I was going and bumped into someone.
"Holy shit, I am so sorry," I said picking up the papers quickly.
"Watch we-" he started but I cut him off by saying, looking at his eyes, "Please keep the cursing for another time we meet and that is if we ever meet. Now for the time being take care. Bye." I said and continued walking out. I didn't miss the looks everyone was giving me and for what I don't know
I ran to the cab and told him the address and told him to hurry up. When I reached there I quickly got to work as the cafe was busy already.
It was a busy day today, there were so many people here. Cafe Nemo was known for there breakfast club, with a variety of things to eat. Around 11 it became calm and it wasn't as hectic as I started off. There were only 2 more tables left to serve.
"Hey, who are they?" I asked Anthony, my co-worker.
"Two of the most powerful people in Earkria." Am I in any kind of luck to get them in during my shift? Bad luck, not good.
"Aanya I think you need to go to both of them as every one of them is scared of them." I knew this was going to come so I first went to the people in the right corner.
"Hi, what can I get you?"
"I would like- well, well, if it isn't the great Aanya Grey herself!" MY GOD!! It is my bad luck indeed. I knew that sound and face from anywhere. Faces and sounds that attack me at night cannot easily be forgotten
"What can I get you, sir?"
"Still the same and why am I not surprised?" he chuckled "Do you still remember me, darling?" By this time we had the attention of the customers from the other table and my co-workers and thier eyes on is making me felt uncomfartable
"Do not EVER call me that," I said in anger.
"Or what? What are you going to do? Fight me, well come on then but do remember the one you can't win against me and two I will call your boss and crush this café of his or hers into dust."
I looked him in the eyes without breaking contact for 1 min straight and gave him a wicked grin, a grin which promises trouble and chaos to him.
"Ryan, can you serve them? I don't want to get kicked out of this job too."
Ryan was my best friend from high school. My ride or die. My rock. And vice versa. He knew what I meant by this. I went to serve the people on the other side.
"Hi, sir, What can I get you all today?" I said and I was shocked when I looked up, it was the same icy blue eyes I saw earlier today.
Same Blue Icy Ones.
The ones I saw today and yesterday..

Unknown POV:
I thought I got rid of him and everything related to him. Apparently not.
I need to be careful. He is not the little boy from years ago.
I will keep them apart. No matter what.
She is my life.
Aanya's POV:"Hi, sir, What can I get you all today?" I was shocked when I looked up, it was the same icy blue eyes I saw earlier today but I quickly recovered."I will have the medium Cappuccino and Croissant. Thanks." I tunred my head to the direction of the voice and I instantly recognized him from yesterday, he interviewed me. I noted down waht he wanted."I took care of everything. Don't worry." Ryan told me after taking the orders from the other table, while he was walked past me. I nodded my head at him. Thanking him sillently for saving me. "I will have a Latte please." turning my attention back who is in front of me, the guy on the left said. I noted the order down and looked up again for the last person to speak but ice monster still hasn't said anything so I thought he didn't want anything so I said "I will have it brought over in a few minutes" and left.But before I could leave, "Did I ask you to leave?". I turned around making sure to mask my emotion and said "Is there a
Aanya's POV: "What the fuck are you doing here?" the voice was as icy and empty as his eyes but it still stood out in the dark, like his voice. I quickly stood up but that seemed to be one of the worst decisions I made "I got lost. What the hell are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" my days, I am not thinking about who I am talking to. I hate my mouth for acting like a firecracker sometimes, I always knew this mouth of mine was going to get me in trouble. "The world doesn't revolve around you for me to stalk you. It is useless to me to stalk you. You are in my land. So, I have the right to be here." "I am sorry. I will leave now." I went past him and quickly got out of the alleyway. To be honest, I was going to ask him to show me a way out as I don't know which way I came from and I am scared of the dark but I knew better than to ask. But I guess I have a little bit of luck left and I just used it to come out. I walked back to my apartment but this time I knew someone was stal
1st August 1999Aanya's POV:When you don't have anyone else you would want your close friends with you. That's what Ryan and Charlotte were giving me, their presence and comfort.The whole of last week I was spent resting and getting back to myself in the hospital. I visited my dad and Chester twice that week. They don't know what happened to me and they will never know it. No one will know it except Ryan and Charlotte.Now I was back to work trying to forget everything. My phone rang and I took it out to see it was Ashley."Hey Aanya, what's up?" she asked as soon as I took the call."Hmm.. let me see. I see a grey and white ceiling. What's up there for you?""A brain, duh...""When did you become a murderer?""I am not now but I may become one in the future. So you still working? How is everything over there?""Well, yes I am still working and everything over here is.... okay I guess.""Are you busy?""Erm... actually yes. Can I call you after getting home or tomorrow?"She said a q
2nd August 1999Aanya's POV:I was wearing a black sleeveless top and black pants with a grey blazer on top of it. I had a belt securing my pants in its place. I wore my black and white trainers with them. I was in front of Mr Alexander's office, as the assistant led me to, waiting for him to finish the meeting and to have a talk.10 mins later he finished his meeting and I saw 3 people coming out of his office. I was called in after 2mins. I was shocked to see it was the same guy that took the interview for me that day."Good Morning, Miss Grey. How are you doing?" he asked"Morning sir. I am doing good. Thank you for asking.""Please call me Mason. As you know I am the vice president but you will be working for the CEO directly as his personal assistant, as the last one he had was a bit... of the wrong choice. Let's walk and talk.""Okay""What you are going to do for him is personal to him but I must warn you, he is a very unpredictable force so be prepared to leave for another coun
24th August 1999 Aanya's POV:I don't know if he is mental ill or not, but personally I think he is. And I also don't know how I survived these 3 long weeks. Mental and a workaholic person. No heart, only brains. His demands are ridiculous. It started with being early to work, not 8am but 7am. Then it started with trips to the his break room to get coffee for him at random time. After that it was getting lunch from this uptown restaurant that is 30 mins away in 45 mins. His order to have everything printed out and learn different laguage is out of question. Every single day he asks me how my language studies are going and I reply with cheery yes acting like its the best thing to fo furing my free time. I am just gald he has tested me yet. His never ending strict schedule that is almost the same every single day:7:00 am: I need to be in the office8:30 am: Mr Rodrigues is in his office8:45 am: He needs a hot tea with 2 cubes of sugar. Read out his entire agenda for the day to him.
25th August 1999Aanya's POV: "Do you want me to take action against him? " Ashley asked "Erm... yeah no thanks. I think I will manage on my own. And I am sure you don't want to cross paths with him. " "What the f**k? Which bloody company do you even work for? You said you got a job but you never mentioned where." I contamplated what to say and decided, "The Rodriguez Industries." "What the f**k!!" She said in her usual exaggerated and suprised voice before continuing, "You know what, you are right. I don't want to the go against him or his hellish legal team. " she said and started laughing hard " OH MY, you work for him as his personal assistant." she laughed more "Yeah, it's not going to be funny when you get my head delivered to you on a silver platter, is it? " I said but she just laughed more. This girl. "Well, I need your help. I had to go to dinner with him to meet a client of his, but he didn't say how to dress up but the restaurant I reserved for him is a nice ri
28th August 1999Aanya's POV: Some people are excited and giddy to be the centre of attention whereas there are some people who would rather have sharp objects thrown at your heart than be the centre of attention. Yes, I am the latter. It kills me every milli-second knowing someone has got their eyes on me. It almost like your privacy and freedom is stripped away from you. I mean I couldn't possibly imagine the pressure famous people get from always being under the microscopic lense of the whole world.Minutes trickled by as all of them sat inside trying to decide what the best course of action is while I sat on the outside waiting for them to call me in. Its been 30 mins. "Aanya come in," Mason called out from the room. Finally. I took a deep inhale and exhaled before standing upand walking towards the door. As I approach it, the bodyguard beside the door holds the door open for me. I walk in and notcie all three of the sitting around the top of the meeting table. Before I could
31st August 1999Aanya's POV:Later that day, after I walked out of that building, I went to the hospital to visit my father and let him know about the engagement and marriage before it hits the news. It would be an understatement to say the least that he was angry and disappointed that I hid this from him for so long. He questioned me FBI mode to know about my future husband. 2 days later, I was packed and ready right on time when the driver came to pick me up and dropped me off at the airport. I was not supposed to suprised by the fact we were going to fly on a private plane but it still suprised me.Mason and William were standing in front of Evan while he had his back to me. They were all speaking about something serious. I did some research on William. His last name is Carter. Graduated top of his year from University of Lorgan for Law and Business. He is 25 years old. He has his own law firm, Crestmark Partners, which only has 7 lawyers in total and is run by all 7 of them in eq
