Anna staggered as she entered the house and couldn't help herself but chuckle. Dylan came to her side immediately and held her hand ."I can walk on my own ",she said as he yanked her hand away from his ."It doesn't look like it ",he said stifling a chuckle as Anna tripped herself at the bottom of the stair ."Can you help me get to bed ?",she turned to look at him .She had never really taken time to look at him,to study his features .He stood tall above her and she thought of herself as a child as she looked up at him.His hair was a mess on his head ,but it was never like that that she knew .The buttoned shirt he was wearing was bulging as he filled it and she couldn't help herself but stare at his arms .As he walked closer to where she was standing her eyes followed each step he made . He walked so gracefully."Is something wrong with my outfit ,why are you staring ?",Dylan asked Anna as he observed her eyes on him."No it just needs to stay off",she said as he scooped her up a
Anna made her way downstairs where Dylan was already prepping what they were going to need while baking.She couldn't help the smile that spread across her lips as she watched him try to make sure they had everything.She had never baked before even though she always wanted to. He looked so concentrated she didn't want to disturb him so she just pulled a stool and sat down.He knew she was in the room but they didn't always have to talk. The silence wasn't defending though. It was a comfortable silence.She sometimes wondered if it was possible to love two people.She knew what she felt for Vincenzo. What she felt for Dylan was a mystery though. She knew she felt something for him though.There was peace when it came to Dylan. Something that she had never experienced with Vincenzo before."Come on ", Dylan said as he handed her an apron."What are we making ?" she asked him."A birthday cake ", he said as he helped her tie her apron around her waist.She couldn't help the chuckle tha
"Do we have to add the icing ?", Anna asked as she licked the icing of her fingers.She looked at Dylan and couldn't help but laugh. His face was covered in icing and the more he grinned the more he looked like a kid."What's so funny ?", he asked her as he tried to wipe his face but ended up spreading the icing."You just look funny with all the icing on your face ", Anna said smiling."Am glad my misery makes you laugh. Why don't you want the icing on the cake ?", he asked her and stopped adding the icing on the cake."I just don't like icing on the cake if anything people should just eat it that way ", she said chuckling."That's so weird it won't be cake anymore ", Dylan said scrunching his face in disgust."Are you hearing yourself right now, I want to eat cake not three kilograms of icing am sorry ", Anna said rising her hands in defense"Okay I get your point now what else don't you like ?", he asked her as he put a candle on top of the cake and lit it up."I don't eat tomatoes
FOUR YEARS EARLIER.As Dylan made his way out of his father's office he was pissed. He did not understand why the old man just kept insisting that things be done the way he wanted.He had done everything right, studied what he had wanted but somehow couldn't escape his grasp.He had never wanted the life that he had but it was not as if anyone had asked him.Sometimes he wished there was someone else who would take his position instead.He saw Vincenzo the moment he walked and a little bit of anger left his body as he walked over to where he was to talk to his friends.It was shocking that they were friends given the fact that their companies were both rivals."Why do you look you just left a heated conversation with your father ?", Vincenzo asked Dylan as he looked at his watch.He had been dragged by his father to come and strike a deal with Mr. Harrington."It's the same talk again that I am old enough to take the company, he just doesn't understand that I want a different life for
The soft pattering rain in the roof distracted Anna for a bit . Dylan's loud snoring was irritating her and just a minute of not hearing her would calm her head .The show she was watching was still running but she was no longer listening . Her mind was elsewhere .The more that she thought about her life the more she realized she was in purgatory . She didn't even know what she wanted anymore .It wasn't the end in her life that convinced her . She wants trying to be with any of them . They just made her life more complicated .What was she doing in the house of another man when she was already married ?Her life was just a shit show and she made it worse every single day by the mistakes she made .She cringed remembering what she had done earlier in the night . Was she really that desperate that she wanted Dylan to touch her even when he had told her times and times again he was not going to ?She needed help .Was she that lonely that no matter how small attention Dylan gave her s
As Vincenzo made his way out of the ranch there was only one thought on his mind ,Anna.He hated that he had to leave for work when it was her birthday considering what had happened earlier the day with Briana .How could he have fucked up that much ?It's like every second that passed he just did something that she didn't like and he had no idea how to fix things with her .There love was doomed and mostly because of the thin s he has done .She had done nothing but love him since the first day she had known him. How had he expected her not to fall in love with him?He didn't even know how much she craved his love m She would go to the ends of earth if it meant that he could feel how much she loved him .No matter how much he loved her she would never feel loved by him. All she could ever think of were all the bad things that he had done to her .She could never understand why she deserved to be hurt like that and that wasn't his fault . To some extent it was his fault but he didn't
As Dylan drove to the hospital his attempts on trying to engage Anna in a conversation were futile.She didn't know how Vincenzo was doing and it was eating her up.The moment they reached the hospital she was out of the car and rushed to the ER. She looked like a mess but she didn't care.All she wanted was to see Vincenzo. No one had been picking up her calls and she was on the verge of tears.The moment she saw Raul her heart stopped racing a bit as she ran to where she was. He looked at her and she looked like she was in distress."Where is he ?", she asked him and you could sense the fear in her voice.She did not know what to expect and was scared of the answer they were going to give her."She's in surgery ", Raul said and her heart dropped to her stomach.That meant that he had been seriously hurt. She tried as much as she could not to break down in front of Raul."How long have they said the surgery will take ?", she asked him."I don't know the doctor said that they will tel
EARLIER THAT DAY .As the car entered the residence Vincenzo was a little shocked . It didn't look like the home of a farmer who was just starting up .The fountain in the middle of the driveway made it all look like it was some ancient house as he stared at the gargoyle.The house looked ancient probably something that had been passed down from ancestors ,even though it was old it had been maintained .He could see some worked who were heading somewhere which he figured was maybe the store where they kept the produce .His visit had been impromptu he didn't know how Me Suarez was going to take it but he had figure that since he was around for other businesses he would drop around and see how the preparation of the first shipment was going .He alighted the car and no one came to greet him. He looked around and decided to find where Mr Suarez was . The corridor was quite the only sound being those of his shoes tapping on the maple floors .He could hear sounds but he couldn't quite f
