Ryan POV: In the morning, I left the hotel while Delilah was still sleeping soundly. I tired her out, out of her wits last night and to be honest, I felt bad too. Because I used her to get rid of my thoughts about Anastasia. I scratched my stubble that had grown overnight and sighed. 'You will be the death of me one day.' I imagined Ana and complained to her. Never in my life, I thought that I would lose my control over someone. Even if I showed this scenario to my past self, I would have laughed really hard. "We have arrived, sir." The driver told me. We were at my place. I went to my penthouse and took a shower to get rid of all the signs of another girl on my body. After cleaning up thoroughly and changing into the new suit, I adjusted the tie knot and glanced at my reflection for the last time and left for the office. At the office, Kevin had already prepared breakfast for me. I sipped onto the coffee and it woke me up while the pile of the work on the desk made me groan.
Anastasia POV:I picked out a floral printed v-necked, full sleeves dress from my wardrobe. Before, I did not want to go to dinner but now, I want to. I took a shower and changed into the dress that I had picked out. I let my hair loose and dabbed some makeup on my face to look presentable. However, when it was my turn to pick out the shoes, I grabbed 4 inches long heels, but then something clicked in my mind. 'You have to be really careful at the early stages of the pregnancy. A little negligence can result in a miscarriage.' Dr. Crystal told me when I went to see her. 'We can't even call it a baby yet. It is so tiny and fragile that ultrasound is also not possible.' She added and I took a careful note of her instructions. So, I put them back onto their place and instead took out a pair of plain sandals. After making sure I looked fine, I went to the sitting area. Mom and Dad were waiting for me. "Do I look okay, Mom?" For some reason, I started to get nervous and held the hem of
Anastasia POV:After dinner, I don't know where Ryan went. He left the table after he got a call and now I am looking for him like a maniac in this humongous place. I climbed the stairs and went to the first floor. I could not help but get impressed by the beauty of this place again. However, I put the urge to admire his home on the side and looked for him. There were many doors on the first floor. I contemplated what to do as I had no idea which one of those rooms was his. With a thumping heart, I knocked on the first door on the right side and soon, it opened. I found him standing right in front of me. The scent of his expensive cologne wrapped me up and I lifted my eyelids to take in his astonishing looks. His hair was randomly falling on his forehead like he had been running his fingers in them while his dark eyes were deep and terrifying. He looked at me with confusion. "What is it?" His eyes squinted. "Uhm-" Now that I am here and I have to reveal the biggest secret of my l
Ryan POV: She was looking so beautiful in that little dress which she was wearing. I intend on apologizing to her for my behaviour at the party but my throat turned bitter when she stood beside Zayn after I choked him. She was worried about him and did not bat an eye although my ribs were killing me as Zayn had punched me brutally. I came to my room after dinner because I got a call but soon I was surprised to see her standing at my door. Damn! If that didn't turn me on. When she came to my room.... I had all kinds of erotic thoughts in my head. However, when she told me why she was here, I felt like my head was blown off. What the fu*k was she telling me? She is with my child? I wanted to shake her really hard so she would come back to her senses.... most importantly I wanted to ask why she let me come inside her when she wasn't on birth control, but my mouth was tied. I was already rude to her by telling her to abort the child. The piercing pain I witnessed in her eyes, it ma
Anastasia POV:On our way back home, none of us said a single word. However, from time to time, Mom and Dad's sighs would fill the air and each time, I felt really guilty for disappointing them. The embarrassment which they have faced tonight because of me, it was killing me from inside. In fact, I would feel better if they would shout or yell at me but the silent treatment which they are giving me, that's really painful. "I am sorry." I whispered after we arrived home. "We will talk later, Ana. Have some rest." Dad said to me and they made their way to their bedroom while I stood there for a long time. My feet started to hurt but my mind was still clouded with his thoughts. Shock, fear, hate, surprise, disdain and pain... I have witnessed it all in his eyes tonight. He was right, I am the one at fault here. I was the one who encouraged him to have s*x with me. Even though he stopped in the middle, I continued to urge him to finish what he started. Tears rolled down my eyes and I
Ryan POV: I spent the whole night smoking and drinking. Still, it wasn't enough to dominate the fire that is burning inside me. I still can't believe that she is pregnant. At least she should have let me know if she wasn't on contraception. I would have been more careful. But I should also have thought about it. 'She was a virgin, you di*khead.' My thoughts scolded me and I exhaled deeply. "I am the one at fault here." I announced the verdict and put the cigarette butt in between my lips and took a long drag of it. When I exhaled, the smoke surrounded me and it calmed my nerves to some extent. 'Why the hell is she so hell bent on giving birth to it? Can't she just get rid of the problem and make it easy?' I sighed and went to the balcony. I leaned on the railing and lit another cigarette. 'Dad just started to recognize my efforts at work. She does not have to ruin everything for me. I will never forgive her for the humiliation that I have faced because of her.' I made up my min
Author's POV:Alex Weaver and Chris Logan decided to have dinner together. They needed to discuss the matter involving their children. Because Ana has made her decision clear and Alex Weaver has given an ultimatum to Ryan, it was a matter of time when they will cave in to the wishes of their parents. "I am really sorry, Chris. I did not expect things to be this way." Alex sighed and said to his friend.Chris took a sip from his wine and put the glass back on the table, "This isn't your fault. We cannot always handle our children." He assured him that it is fine and this event will not affect their friendship. "Katherine and I really like Ana. Ever since we saw her at the inauguration ceremony, there was definitely something that pulled us closer to her and Katherine, she wouldn't stop talking about how admirable she is." Alex started, "What happened.... we did not have any control over it but we can straighten out the rest of the things." "What do you mean?" Chris could understand
Anastasia POV:I picked up a black pencil skirt and a blue blouse for the day. Yeah, I better wear these clothes now before I won't fit into them. I took a shower, changed my clothes and tied my hair in a neat bun. A perfect office-y look.I smiled as I looked at my tummy. I feel relieved since everyone knows about the baby now. Mom and Dad are also taking great care of me. They couldn't stay mad at me for more than 12 hours and now they are even more excited than me for the baby. They want to see their grandchild ASAP. However, I also got nervous. Ryan will be coming to my office today and I don't know how I am going to talk to him about marriage. 'It will be fine.' I assured myself and grabbed my things to leave. "I will not let you go on an empty stomach." Mom appeared out of the thin air and threatened me. "Mom, I am feeling queasy. Can we not do this today?" I helplessly tried to get away. Although I understand their concern for me still, I kind of regretted telling them the
