Aanya’s POV: Last night was a restless one for me. I had trouble falling asleep, and when I finally did, I kept waking up throughout the night. I have this vivid, unsettling dream that left me feeling anxious and on edge. By the time morning arrived, I felt exhausted and groggy like I hadn’t slept at all, which is true. I know I am going to struggle to focus on anything. I feel like I will be irritable and short-tempered with those around me. After the commotion yesterday, the family didn’t stay for that long. Everyone went back except for Ann. She is sleeping in the spare guest room. After a while, I got up and got dressed and went to the kitchen where Ana was preparing breakfast. Ann was still not up, so I guess she is getting rest. Soon, Ann joined the table just as Ana brought out the breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, and fruits. Both of us ate in silence, lost in our thought. “Hey, what do you think of the new restaurant that just opened up in town?” Ann broke me out of my though
Aanya’s POV: I took a flight from Manchester to India. It took an awful lot of convincing from me Ann, Ana and Li to not tell Evan I was going to India until I get into the flight. Fortunately, I got a seat in economy class and just made it on time for the flight. The plane was really crowded and noisy, and there wasn’t a lot of legroom. The plane ride was hardly comfortable. At some point, we hit turbulence about halfway through the flight, and it was pretty intense. The whole plane was shaking and people were holding onto their seats for their dear life. I felt really anxious and just wanted to get off the plane but by the time the wheels landed on the concrete all thoughts and worries of the plane left me just for a ton load of worries about the conversation I am about to have. From hailing the taxi to arriving at the family house it took a lot of energy for me to not be sick. I thought of all the different, easy or hard or twisted ways this conversation could go. Even now standi
Aanya’s POV: “Tell me one thing. Was I a puppet to you all your life?” “Aanya, don’t talk to your father like that. His health-“ “To hell with his health, aunt!! Now. Answer my question!!” “I signed the deal 6 months after the disappearance of your brother. When you turn 25, I will arrange a marriage between you two. We will get protection and he will get the perfect wife” “Perfect wife!? So all my life you provided me because of the deal? You sold me to get protection and… and money and… and fame?!” “SOLD!!” the deep voice I was so used to hearing resonated in the room. I whipped my head to the entrance to see a tall and muscular structure standing there. His hands were tucked away inside his pant pockets. His voice mirrored the danger and threat on his face. “Why… how on earth did you get here so fast?” “You do not know how rich I am, love!!” Of course, I didn’t know that and I also didn’t know that he would be the type that flaunts his wealth everywhere. I turned around to
Author’s POV:“You imbecile. You moron. You D***-headed as***le.” Insult after insult was hurled at Evan by his wife. It’s been 2 days since Aanya came back from India and Evan was furious to know his wife went to India without telling him but before he can react she already reacted.“Love, we ought to talk about this calmly this…” Before Evan could complete his sentence something soft landed on his face. A pillow.“Talk? You didn’t want to talk earlier why now?” to say Aanya is furious would be an understatement, she was livid but she also know she was being a bit childish by throwing such tantrums.“Look, I am sorry I…I promised that I wouldn’t tell you and Calian would directly tell you when it is time.” Aanya was starting to feel guilty about her irresponsible behaviour so she did the only thing that would save her from the embarrassment but make her look like a coward.She left for her new job.Aanya got a job at Lei’s Abstraction as a finance manager. She was happy she got a job
The place doesn’t suit her style.The rich restaurant looked to be empty when John parked the car in front of the restaurant.Aanya concluded it could only be empty because her husband either owns this place or he brought this place for the evening. Both seemed like something he would do.It was decorated in every way a rich restaurant is designed: blazing lights, artistic designs and amazingly beautiful decoration.“You look beautiful”Aanya was surprised Evan was behind her rather than inside the restaurant, waiting for her.“I am in my pj’s, not the £10000 dress you brought. Your standards are pretty low.”No jokes, Aanya Grey Rodriguez is in her pj’s.For her first date with her husband.She woke up around 6:15 obviously in no mood to do anything but go back to sleep. She couldn’t, she said she would come, now she got to go. A few minutes later there was the makeup artist and hairdresser in front of her room to help her which she declined, politely. She saw the box with the dress,
She twisted the ring on her finger. Making sure the decision she took was the right one. The quiet midnight was a welcome relief after a long day. This world outside the window was still and the only sound was the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. The moon was full, casting a glow over everything and the stars twinkled in the sky.The black long-sleeved plunge bodycon dress looked amazing on Aanya. She did light makeup and tied up her hair in a ponytail. She was all ready to go for her midnight party at one of the nightclubs with Ashley, Naomi and Ann. They all agreed to meet up there. Except Ann and Aanya decided it was best not to let their husband know.She felt like the 15-year-old girl who lied to her father to go out with her friend.A feeling washed over her and she removed her ring and put on the oversized hoodie on her bed, which reached her mid-thigh.She slowly crept around the room trying to get all the things she need inside her small clutch. She then opened her be

MATURE SCENE!! WARNING!!Aanya came out of the bathroom and saw Evan sitting there like he owned it, technically he does. He was wearing grey joggers with no top. He had his glasses on and was reading a book. Aanya rolled her eyes and went inside her closet. She put on an oversized top and was trying to find its matching shorts.She stilled when arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her back, she could feel his muscled chest.“You are mad?”“Do you see me jumping around?”His hands clasped aroun her upper arm and he turned her around, slammed her back into the closet door harshly, and trapped her by placing her left arm next to her head and the right next to her waist.“You sneaked out, estrella! Did you think I would not find you?” They were so close, so close they were practically breathing the same air. His body pressed against her and his face inches away from her.“Don't think I didn't see you roll your eyes at me when you came out?” with each question, he pressed against her m
