CHAPTER 10

Anna

“Why are you shocked like you have just seen ghosts? Good morning my dearest soon-to-be wife,” Damien says with a fake smile.

He continues to talk “ I just spoke to the doctors this morning and they have assured me that Mr.Smith will be out of coma very soon and he’ll be fine.”

“Okay, thanks,” I say quietly still very confused as to why they’re here much earlier than I expected. I look at Mr.Luis with so many questions running in my mind but I am unable to speak up.

“Good morning Miss Anna,” Mr.Luis finally speaks.

I give him a small nod to acknowledge his greetings. I don’t why all of a sudden I have lost my ability to talk. I guess it’s because Damien is here and I am still very much ashamed of how I behaved towards him last night. I can’t tell if he’s angry at me for how I behaved towards him yesterday. He doesn't look like he’s mad at me though. Well, he’s so handsome that I can’t even look at him straight in the face. Honestly, the pictures of him on the inte

    CHAPTER 11 ANNA“Let’s have the meeting,” I say with all the strength I have in me in order not to appear weak. I don’t want them to find out that my house was broken into. The last thing I want from anyone right now is pity.“Finally, the queen of Seattle is out. I wonder what you were telling that boyfriend of yours that kept you so long,” Damien says sounding very agitated.“Boyfriend? That’s my best friend Lola who called.” I shoot a rude response to him since he’s beginning to irritate me.“Best friend huh? Well if you say so wifey dearest,” Damien says sarcastically.“Thanks for understanding soon-to-be husband,”I respond to him in the same tone.“Can we start now? I would appreciate it if you two don’t pick at each other. Let’s all remember we’re in Mr.Smith’s hospital room and he doesn’t need this. You two should act like adults,” Mr.Luis cautions us.I sit next to my father’s bed and take his hand into mine. I need him now more than ever because I am really going through a l

You have to be strong for your father he needs you more than ever. Everything is going to be fine,” she says.“What about my apartment?Any news from the police yet?”“Not yet Anna. Don’t worry too much about it. They’re doing their best to find the culprit.”Lola reassures me.“ I brought you some clothes and got you a new phone charger as you requested. I also got you some food.”“Thank you, Lola.”“Don’t mention. I want you to go to the washroom and freshen up. Girl you look very rough. Don’t stress I’ll look after your Dad.” she shoves me towards the washroom.I take a quick shower and dress up. I look at myself in the mirror and for the first time in the past 24 hours, I feel a bit better. I hope everything goes well now. I go back to my father’s room and he’s being checked by a team of doctors.“Miss Anna right?”

He’s awake now so why do I have to go out.”“Anna let the doctor do his job. Your father will be okay. Come on let’s wait outside” Lola urges me.I look at my father whose eyes are closed now for the last time before exiting the room with Lola.Lola calms me down as we wait, “Hey Anna, he’s going to be fine no need for you to panic. Let’s be cheerful that he’s awake now and keep hope alive. You should stop crying.” “Alright, I am just scared. I don’t want to lose my father Lola.” “Mr.Smith is a strong man.

I cancelled all my pending meetings and drove to the hospital to confirm as I still didn’t understand what was happening.I arrive at the hospital and hand straight to his hospital room. I stop death in track with the sight in front of me. Anna is sobbing uncontrollably with Mr Smith’s hand in her hand. She’s being comforted by a lady who I don’t know but that does not calm her down as her sobs continue to become rampant.I am still standing at the door watching Anna and this scene right in front of me reminds me of when I lost my parents. Death is something I hate with everything in me as it makes one weak and distressed. I am hit with emotions when Anna says “Dad, why have you done this to me? I can't survive without you. How do you expect me to do life without you by my side?”. I quickly mak

She doesn’t know about the passing of Mr.Smith yet. I feel like a bad person at the moment as I am about to break the news to her.“Hey my boy, how was your day?

    CHAPTER 17 ANNAAs I step into the house, an eerie silence greets me. Once neat and inviting, the living room now looks like a war zone.The coffee table is overturned, and the cushions from the sofa are slashed open, foam spilling out. Picture frames of my parents lie shattered, their glass fragments glinting menacingly in the dim light. I move slowly, my heart pounding, noticing the gaping emptiness where the television and other electronics used to be.In the kitchen, cabinet doors hang open, and broken dishes litter the countertops and floor. The refrigerator door is wide open, its contents hastily ransacked. I step over the debris, feeling anger and sadness wash over me.As I head upstairs, my footfalls echo in the unsettling quiet. The bedrooms are no better; closets are emptied, and clothes and personal belongings are tossed carelessly around. I pause at the doorway of the master bedroom, seeing the open safe with its contents missing.The sense of violation is overwhelming. I

I forget where I am for a moment, but the cozy surroundings quickly remind me of Lola’s guest bedroom. I stretch and sit up, feeling more rested than I have in days.I swing my legs over the side of the bed and slip into my slippers. The house is quiet, and I can hear the faint chirping of birds outside. It’s a peaceful sound, a stark contrast to the turmoil of yesterday. I gather my things and head to the bathroom down the hall to freshen up.After a quick shower, I make my way downstairs. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets me, mingling with the scent of something delicious cooking. I follow the smells to the kitchen, where I find Lola at the stove, flipping pancakes."Good morning," she says with a bright smile. "I hope you slept well.""I did, thank you. This smells amazing," I reply, taking a seat at the kitchen island.Lola hands me a steaming mug of coffee. "I thought

    DAMIENThe warmth of her body against mine lingers even as I lie awake, staring at the ceiling. Anna is asleep again, her breath slow and steady, her fingers still loosely curled around my hand as if she’s afraid I’ll disappear if she lets go.But I know she won’t sleep peacefully for long. Not with what I have to tell her.The weight of it presses down on me like a stone.Lola.How the hell do I tell my wife that I had her childhood best friend arrested?I exhale sharply and turn onto my side, watching Anna’s face in the dim light. She looks too exhausted to handle another heartbreak. But I know I can’t keep this from her.She deserves to know.And it’s going to hurt her.The sun spills through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Anna stirs beside me, stretching slightly before her eyes flutter open. She blinks up at me sleepily, a small smile touching her lips."Morning," she murmurs."Morning, baby," I say, brushing a strand of hair from her face.She nestles closer, r

    DAMIENThe bar is dimly lit, the golden glow from the overhead lights reflecting off the half-empty glass of whiskey in front of me. I swirl the liquid absentmindedly, my thoughts far away from this place. Across from me, Evans leans back in his seat, his gaze fixed on me as if he can see straight through my mind."Talk to me, man," he says, breaking the silence. "You're drowning in your thoughts."I exhale sharply, rubbing my temples. "How do I even begin?""The beginning is always a good place."I let out a dry chuckle, shaking my head. "The beginning? If you had told me months ago that I'd be sitting here, thinking about a woman about Anna the way I am now, I would have laughed in your face."Evans smirks, taking a sip of his drink. "And yet, here you are, married and completely whipped."I shoot him a look, but he isn’t wrong. I lean back in my seat, staring into the darkened corners of the bar as memories flood in."When my father’s last wish made me marry her," I begin, my voice

    DAMIENI sit on the edge of our bed, Anna’s tearful confession still echoing in my mind. Every word she shared about Lola, every betrayal she uncovered it’s a storm I’m barely holding back. She’s asleep now, her breathing shallow but steady. I don’t even dare to move too far; I’ve kept one hand on hers all night just to feel her warmth and reassure myself that she’s here, safe for now.But I’m not okay.Lola. Vanessa.Nicholas.The names feel like poison, burning through my veins. How could the person Anna trusted be so vile, so calculating? And to think Lola sent that text, the one that had Anna breaking down on the phone. My jaw tightens at the memory.I glance at the clock on my nightstand. It’s 3:42 a.m., but there’s no way I’m sleeping tonight.I carefully slip my hand from Anna’s and get out of bed, pulling on a sweater. My mind is already running scenarios, plans, and ways to quietly and efficiently end this. If I have to burn bridges or make enemies for life to protect her, so

    DAMIENI'm greeted by a cacophony of voices when I step into Donovan Firm's sleek, glass-walled office. The bustling energy of the building, the hum of conversations, and the soft click of keyboards contrast starkly with the quiet, intimate world I’ve shared with Anna for the past two weeks.“Welcome back, Mr.Donovan,” my assistant, Jasmine, says brightly. “It’s good to see you again.”“Thank you, Jasmine,” I reply, adjusting my cufflinks. “What’s on the agenda for today?”She hands me a tablet with my packed schedule: " I have a strategy meeting with the board at 10, a financial review at 11:30, and a client luncheon at 1. You also have a meeting with the legal team at 3 and a call with our European branch at 5.”I suppress a sigh. It’s a packed day, but I expected no less after being away for two weeks.As I stride through the open office floor, I catch snippets of hushed whispers.“Did you hear about Mr. Donovan? His wife was kidnapped!”“I heard she’s been traumatised ever since.

    ANNAThe morning is serene. Golden sunlight streams through the windows, painting our room in soft hues. Damien, still half-asleep, has his arm draped across my waist, pulling me close. His breathing is steady and comforting, and I savour the warmth of his presence.“Good morning, Mrs.Donovan,” he murmurs, his voice rich and deep, laced with the remnants of sleep.I smile, running my fingers through his messy hair. “Good morning, Mr. Donovan.”He lifts his head slightly, his piercing blue eyes meeting mine. “How are you feeling today? Better?”“I am,” I reply, leaning into the safety of his embrace. “Because of you.”Damien tilts my chin, his lips brushing against mine in a tender kiss. “I’ll always protect you, Anna. No matter what.”His phone buzzes, shattering the peaceful moment. He groans, reaching for it reluctantly.“Work?” I ask, though I already know the answer.“Yeah,” he sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. “I have a meeting I can’t postpone. But I hate leaving you.”I cup

    DAMIENA scream shatters the silence of the night. It’s sharp, raw, and filled with so much pain that it jolts me upright in bed. My heart pounds as I turn to Anna, who’s thrashing wildly, caught in the grip of a nightmare. Her cries are broken and desperate, her hands clawing at the air as though fighting off invisible demons.“Anna!” I call out, shaking her gently. “Baby, wake up. It’s just a dream. Wake up!”She doesn’t respond. Her face is damp with sweat, and tears streak down her cheeks as she sobs in her sleep. The sight of her like this a mixture of fear and vulnerability feels like a punch to the gut.“Baby,” I say again, my voice softer but urgent, as I gather her trembling form into my arms. “It’s me, Damien. I’m here. You’re safe.”Her eyes snap open, wild and unfocused before they lock onto mine. She doesn’t seem to recognize me for a second, her body stiff and trembling. Then, like a dam breaking, she collapses against me, sobbing uncontrollably.“I couldn’t get away,” s

    ANNAThe car glides to a halt in front of the house, and I spot Miss Rosie standing on the porch, her face etched with worry and hope. Her hands are clasped tightly in front of her, her lips moving silently as though in prayer. The moment Damien steps out of the car and rounds to my side, she’s already descending the steps, rushing toward us like a mother hen reuniting with her chicks.Damien helps me out of the car, his touch firm yet tender. The cool evening breeze brushes against my skin, but his hand is a source of steady warmth, grounding me in this surreal moment of finally being home.“Anna!” Miss Rosie exclaims, throwing her arms around me the moment my feet touch the ground. Her embrace engulfs me, a warm, maternal cocoon I didn’t realize I needed until now. “My child, you’re home! Oh, you’re home.”The floodgates break. I sob into her shoulder, clutching onto her as though letting go would send me back to the nightmare I’d just escaped. “Miss Rosie,” I manage between gasps,

    DAMIEN The low hum of the private jet’s engines fills the cabin as we finally leave New York behind. My body aches, and my arm burns where the bullet grazed me, but none of that matters. Anna is seated beside me, her fingers clutching mine like a lifeline. I haven’t let her out of my sight since the rescue, and I have no intention of doing so now.Evans stands a few feet away, speaking in low tones with Don Emilio. They’re strategizing the next steps, but my focus is entirely on Anna. She’s wrapped in a soft blanket, her face pale and her eyes hollow. Even though the ordeal is over, the scars are fresh.“Damien,” she whispers, her voice barely audible over the engines.I turn to her immediately. “I’m here my baby,” I say, squeezing her hand gently.She leans her head against my shoulder, her body trembling slightly. “I don’t know how to thank you,” she murmurs.I kiss the top of her head softly. “You don’t have to thank me,” I reply. “You’re my wife.

    ANNAThe rumble of the boat engine fades as Nicholas’s men drag me into yet another damp, cold hideout. My body is trembling from exhaustion, starvation, and the relentless torment Nicholas has inflicted. The faint glimmer of hope I’d held onto is almost extinguished. Every door feels like another step closer to death, but I can’t stop thinking about Damien. Despite everything, his face, voice, and promise to protect me keep me clinging to life.Nicholas’s dark laugh breaks through my thoughts. He stands by the window, barking orders into his phone, his frustration palpable. Something has rattled him.“Boss,” one of his men mutters, stepping inside with a nervous glance. “They’re close. Gusavo’s men are closing in on the docks.”Nicholas’s eyes snap to the henchman, and his jaw tightens. “Gusavo…” he hisses like the name is venom on his tongue. “That rat. Fine. Let them come. I’ll burn this place to the ground with every one of them inside.”The man hesitates. “And… her?” He nods towa
