Anastasia POV:The past month has been really hectic for me. Being a working woman, the mother and the wife, I was torn between all the responsibilities. It's not like no one helps me. They all do. Our families, Ryan and just because of them, I manage to go through this time."This one-" I pointed at the necklace, the green jades in the middle and the diamonds surrounding it, on that piece. It is the highlight, main course of this collection, to be precise, that's why I paid close attention to it. "Why does its edges feel so rough? Do you want the woman, whoever will wear it, to have rashes on her neck?" I ran my finger around its surroundings and that felt pretty prickly. "I am sorry, Miss. Logan. I will look into that." The producer said to me instantly and took a note of it on his notepad. He has been doing that every time I give him comments regarding the pieces. "Yes, please do. In fact, recheck the other articles too. I have noticed that in others also." I said. I am a perfect
Anastasia POV:Today is D-day. All the efforts which I have put so far, I am going to see and taste the fruit of them. I got a beautiful dress for tonight. It is a combination of purple and the blue, which is usually seen in comic mermaids. The top has a corset, off shoulder while the sleeves are long and fluffy. Usually, Ryan throws a fit whenever I wear off shoulders but tonight he didn't. He must have realised that it is my day and he shouldn't be messing with me and to be honest, I am happy to see him being so considerate of my likes and dislikes.I did my own makeup and tried putting on a simple diamond necklace but he came to stand behind me. "Let me." He said in his gravelly voice and took the necklace from me before decorating my neck with it. "You look exquisite, darling." He whispered and leaned down to kiss my neck. He nibbled softly on the space between my shoulder and the neck. But I would be blinded by the desire, so I stopped him. "You are going to leave a mark. Not no
Ryan POV:The lights in the venue turned dim, soft music was being played in the background while the anticipation to see the magic which Ana has brought to the world. The air buzzed with it and I could taste it on my tongue. Kai, unlike his usual jumpy self, he was being really quiet. Soon, a spotlight fell onto the ramp and then the models started to walk on it. Their clothes were simple and just the right amount of skin was being revealed, enough for them to look beautiful and to not overpower the pieces which they were wearing. All the gems, diamonds and pearls which were beautifully used were shining under the spotlights and the models paid special attention to all the pieces which they were wearing. From my right side, I heard a subtle sniffing. My brows dipped in confusion and I turned my face to glance at Ana's Mom just to find that she was crying. Chris put his hand over hers while she wiped the corner of her eye with the tissue. "Are you okay?" I whispered. She nodded,
Anastasia POV:The collection which I released this time was a huge success. One of the best things which I managed to pull off and I never thought that I am a sucker for success. I just got to know about this side of mine. So, to celebrate the massive success of Stones, Ryan's mother, Katherine, invited us for dinner. I dressed up wholeheartedly. A white lacy dress, it is my favorite and when Ryan saw me, his brow quipped, "Are we going somewhere luxurious?""Yes, we are." I nodded frantically and pinched Kai's cheeks real hard before kissing them. Ryan was holding him and he was trying his best to get away from his grip. These days, he has started to crawl and the whole world appears to be really interesting, different and amusing to him and to soothe his curiosity, he is giving us a really hard time. "We are going to meet your parents and I want to look good in front of them." I added. He sighed, "I don't like it when you dress up for someone other than me." He pouted and I just
Ryan POV:Anastasia hummed as she played with Kai and just from her face, I can see that she is dying to tell me something but at the same time, she wants me to ask her. Okay, baby! If this is what you want.I smiled and wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer into me while she sat on the bed with her legs crossed and all of her attention was on Kai. However, upon feeling my touch, she squealed and Kai frowned. "What are you doing?" She playfully slapped my shoulder. "Aren't you getting way too violent, sweetheart?" I said darkly, "And don't tell me I can't hug you in front of Kai. Kids need to see their parents being affectionate to learn something from them." I added. "Because there are so many things which I can't do in front of him. I can't say any bad words, I can't talk dirty."She scoffed, "What a creative way to justify your actions." "I am not justifying. I am telling the truth." I whispered and leaned forward to kiss her cheek. She blushed. I love how my effe
Anastasia POV:Today we are leaving for our vacations and by 'we', I mean just Ryan and me. Although I want to take Kai with us too but thinking that I am not giving much attention to Ryan these days... it didn't feel good to take him with us. I also wanted to enjoy some time which belonged exclusively to us. So, last night, Zayn took Kai with him as he will be staying with his grandparents these days and Ryan, he is over the moon today. "I can't believe that such a thing is really happening." He said excitedly, like a little teenager who is excited to go on a field trip with his friends but I guess being with your lover is even better. "Why are you acting like you have never been on a trip before?" I teased him as I arched a brow and applied some blush on my cheeks. "I have never been on one. Not with a girl before." He confessed while putting his swimsuit in the suitcase. My hand halted and I looked at him through the reflection of the mirror, trying my best to understand that
Anastasia POV:We enjoyed the time which we finally got for ourselves fully. Having s*x practically everywhere in the yacht was indeed the highlight of the vacation. The weather wasn't cold anymore. Thus, we laid under the bare sky, with our bodies tangled together and staring at the sky. I don't remember being this peaceful and calm in my life before. "Ana." He called me and I lifted my head from his chest to look at his handsome face. "Hmm?" I hummed both in response and at the feeling of his fingers that were running through my hair. All of my nerves were excited but relaxed too. "Are you happy?" Okay! This isn't what I expected. My eyes narrowed in confusion but I smiled looking at him, "What kind of a question is it? And here I was feeling giddy at the thought that you might slip another big ass diamond in my finger." I joked. "Ugh-" He winced, "What is it with women and their love for diamonds? You practically work with them 365 days a year and you still want a diamond rin
Four months later,Anastasia POV:Today Kai turned one and I can't believe how fast the time has passed. Although this year has been the hardest time of my life, still I don't have any regrets. Just because I have the people who love me and support me. Tonight, I was the first one to get ready. Since it is Kai's birthday, we are having a party at our villa. Just with the family and friends, with the people whom I can call mine. I looked at Ryan who was putting cufflinks in his sleeves and smiles but that smile faded upon listening to him, "Just because I can't have you, it doesn't mean you can act cheeky with me. Stop f**king me with your eyes before I change my mind and put you up to something good." His gaze bore in mine and I instantly looked away. After years of marriage, just a little eye contact is more than enough to make me feel butterflies in my stomach. "You should get ready instead of running your mouth. Our guests will be here anytime." I tried to act sassy when I knew
