PRESENT TIME.She hadn't gotten any sleep and could feel how exhausted her body was. As she stepped out if the car the sight Infront of her was to die for .The trees that surrounded the estate covered it completely from the public eye . The flowers along the driveway making the place look more serene .The only sound she could hear was that of her heels as they tapped in the floor while she walked . From the corner of her eye she could see a man approaching him.She tur ed to see who it was . She couldn't tell his age by just looking at him.His face looked like that of a mature man and she could pin his age to be maybe forty years old . The grey hair on his beards and head said otherwise though .The smile he had on his face upon seeing her could fool anyone but she knew he was not to be played with . He was the reason Vincenzo was in the hospital."Hello ",he said as he reached where she was and greeted her taking off his gloves .His muscles bulged from.the tight shirt he was wea
52 .He was fifty two years old she had found out .He had never been married even once ,no kids to inherit all his work.Do not wonder how Anna had gathered all this information about the man by just having a drink with him._________The lights made the garden look like it was out of this world . It wasn't the same garden that she had seen earlier .The green emerald dress that she was wearing was shimmering as the light hit the material . With Neegan by her side she wasn't shocked that everyone's eyes were on them .She could guess what all of them were thinking about . They probably thought that she was a new hooker that he was sleeping with and had decided to bring to the party as his date .He smiled and waved at everyone while she just smiled . She was being a pretty thing beside him as he had told her to act .She knew no one at the party . All she wanted to talk about was how they were going to resolve the business but every chance she had brought it up he had shut her up ."
Neegan shoved Anna in his office and locked the door behind him. He was a completely different man now . He was no longer the man who had been flirting with her since the moment she had arrived in the ranch.He was angry and she could see it she regretted asking him to talk about business now that he wanted to ."Sit ",he said and Anna didn't even question it she just sat down .Neegan threw some books towards Anna and just started at her . She took one of the books and opened it and it looked like a book they used for their inventory ."What am I doing with this ?",she asked as she closed the book and sat back in her chair . She was not going to let him see that he intimidated her ."That book has all the shipments we have done fir the past decade and never once have the products decreased until the past three months .",he said as she stood up and started pacing around the room."Do you know how much money we have lost in the past months ?",he asked Anna .She didn't know what to
Vincenzo squinted his eyes trying to get used to the lighting in the room but it was like it was burning his eyes . He tried moving but everywhere hurt . Where was he ? He couldn't remember a single thing . He groaned as he tried to sit up but still couldn't sit up . His hand went up to his head and he could feel something there . It was like his head was wrapped in something . His eyes got accustomed to the lighting and all he could see was a white room . He was wearing white too and from the look of it he was in a hospital . Had he been hurt ? He couldn't think his head hurt and no matter how much he tried to remember what had happened to him he had no recollection of the day before . Anna . Where was she ,she was the only person who had come to his mind at the moment and he wanted to see her . Almost immediately the room opened and someone walked in . A woman but it wasn't Anna ,she was older . There was a look of sadness on his eyes and from where he was sitting he could
Anna's heels clicked on the floor as she walked out if her room. The red dress that she was wearing hugged her body showing all her curves .Red was definitely her colour . She had already mastered a smile and as she walked the corridors all she did was smile at the guests that had yet to leave .She had places to be and she was big going to stay a day longer . All she wanted was to go back to her husband . She didn't know how Vincenzo was doing and she had tried not to think about him .There was this fear in her that she couldn't help having though . She was scared that something bad was going to happen and all's he wanted was to be hidden his bed when he woke up .She didn't know how he was going to react when he found out what she had done in Mexico . Maybe he was going to understand what she had done was to sav ethe business .She knew that it was not in he replace to call the shots but something had to be done .It had been his fault if he had just gone to meet with Neegan lik
There were movers everywhere and as Anna stepped out of the car she wondered where they were .It seemed like the house was being renovated or something . She hadn't seen any of the workers that were working there . She walked towards where Neegan was standing who was smiling hands in his pocket ."What are we doing here ?",Anna asked him."Am going to show you the plantation where I grow poppy ,this is new acquitted land and I wanted to show it to you I understand this are new things to you ",Neegan said as he took a hold of her hand and started walking ."Is this your ranch ?",she asked him .It was kind of odd to her that things were being moved co soldering that it was his .She knew that something was not adding up but she hoped it was not what she was thinking."It belonged to Suarez ",Neegan said and didn't explain himself more than that ..Anna could feel the guilt eating her up . It had been her choice and she had chosen someone else .She had been the one who had gone look
The soft rain pattered on the roof the sou ds soothing Anna. She wasn't going to wait any longer to go see Vincenzo.She stood up and left the cafe. As she crossed the road toward the hospital the rain increased and in seconds she was drenched.She didn't even feel cold she was just in another world. She didn't know what to do. Everything was too much and for some reason she was supposed to figure it all out on her own.She could see Vincenzo's mother and father and she walked into the hospital but she didn't want to talk to them.She just wanted to see Vincenzo. She passed by them and as they called her back she just ignored them.How was she supposed to handle everything on her own?It's like everything had been placed on her shoulders and she was supposed to be perfect and save the family name.When she had asked to be respected and have something that people would recognize her for this had not been something that she had expected.The words of Vincenzo's father rang in her head.
A DAY LATER .Everyone stared at Anna as she walked into the office . She knew what they were all thinking but where's somehow afraid of asking her .She had the same fears as her as she entered Vincenzo's work . She didn't know what to expect but somehow knew that she would do whatever she had to do to make herself be the winner .She knew the board members didn't want her to lead the company . Her pink suit wants going to make things easier for her .The fact that she was a woman didn't make things easier for her .She heard a knock on the door and she wondered who it was .She wasn't prepared to see anyone yet given the meeting was in thirty minutes ."Come on in ",she said and the door opening and in came a man she recognized . She didn't remember where she had seen him from.but he seemed familiar ."Hello ",she said as she stood up and offered him her hand which he took ."Hello ,I know you're wondering who i am ",he said as he set the suitcase he was carrying on the desk ."Yes I
