Ryan POV:At first, I didn't plan on going to the office but soon I realised that I made the biggest mistake by staying at home. My mind kept on darting towards Ana and Kai. I sighed and went to the bedroom to change my clothes but I didn't dare to look at the bed or anything else which belongs to her but the irony is, even my soul belongs to her. That's why I keep on shutting my thoughts. However, I am failing badly. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and for a couple of seconds, I couldn't recognise myself. There were huge dark circles around my eyes. My pale looked haggard and pale but I ignored all of that. I deserve this. I sighed and buttoned up the front buttons of my coat as I walked out of the room, where her fragrance was still lingering and imprinting on my senses all over again. I pinched the space in between my brows and looked at the time. It was almost 11am. "Mr. Weaver, are you going to the office? Why don't you eat something first?" Martha said to me and her
Ryan POV:Before I would lose the shred of patience, the door of the OT opened and the doctor walked out of there. He took off the mask and sighed upon seeing me. Perhaps it is because of the way I look. My hands trembled as I tried to speak but couldn't. "She is fine." I have never been so relieved in my life before. Those three words, they were like a life have been given me all over again. "There was a rupture in her liver. We have stitched it up and stopped the bleeding but in case of haemorrhage, there are complications which can arise later too. So, we will keep her under observation and see how this goes on." He politely explained everything to me. Now that I know that she is fine, all I want to do is to see her. "Can I meet her?" I heard my voice coming from the depth."After that we will shift her to the ICU. But she will be under anaesthesia for a while." He said to me, patted my shoulder and left. While I almost fell on the bench. I don't know how I have been holding on
Anastasia POV:I still can't get over the incident. Never in my wildest dream, I thought that someone could do such a nasty thing to me, especially Sarah. The betrayal, the hurt which she has made me taste, I am going to feel it on my tongue for the rest of my life. I laid in the hospital room, listening to the beeping sound of the machines and watching Ryan. The man sat for one second. He kept on checking if I am comfortable, if I need anything and now this is getting on my nerves. "You are becoming a pain in the ass, Ryan." I said through the gritted teeth. The dose of painkillers was reduced and those stitches were killing me. "I am sorry." He sighed and pulled the chair closer to the bed before sitting there. I glanced at him and clearly saw the nervousness on his handsome face. His leg was moving frantically and from time to time, he was chewing his lower lip. I know what is making him so anxious and to be honest, I am not mad at him anymore. The second, I saw my life flashing
Anastasia POV:Laying in the hospital for a week and doing nothing isn't something which I ever want to do again. Even when I gave birth, I wasn't on such an intense bed rest. Furthermore, my husband wasn't making anything easy for me. He kept on hovering around and didn't let me lift a finger. "Ryan, please sit. You are making my head spin." I defeatedly said as he kept on moving around and talking to someone on the phone. It would be a lot better if he would just go to the office. "Sorry." He mouthed the word and sank on the couch in the room while I leaned back into the pillow and glanced at him. He is sexy as hell when he is giving orders to his subordinates. Working Ryan is my favourite. Period!"Ana-" He said, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Hmm?" I blankly stared at him. For some reason, his lips curled up into a smile. "You know, sometimes your thoughts are really loud." He touched the tip of my nose, making me scrunch it."What is it?" The way his brows were knitted, it
Anastasia POV:After a long and excruciatingly painful ten days, I finally returned home. The sweet homely natural scent seeped down to every pore of my body, comforting my nerves and my eyes swimming with tears. There are many things which we take for granted but we only realise their value when they are about to be snatched by us. Exactly the way I felt when, I was afraid that life will take my home, my husband, my son, my family from me. At that moment, I couldn't even think about the pain. That's why, I am feeling more attached to this place now. I smiled at Ryan while he gently rubbed my arms upon seeing me getting emotional. When I left that day, I never thought that I would be returning in such a state. He made me sit in the living room and Martha rushed upon hearing the commotion and her lips curled up into the brightest smile which I have ever seen. She visited me in the hospital a few times, but I never let her stay with me because Kai needed her more than me. "It is rea
Ryan POV:I watched her grow into a wonderful mother and a businesswoman and I can't help but feel proud of her. "What are you smiling about?" She arched her brow as she stared at me with her beautiful eyes. I can't help but drown in them and to be honest, I never want to escape them. "Nothing." I shrugged my shoulders and my attention diverted back to the laptop. "Really, dude? And you were supposed to change his diapers today." She reminded me as she changed her clothes. "Sorry, I totally forgot." I said apologetically, "But on the brighter side, it is better for you to do it. I don't want him to pee all over me." This incident started from the moment I held him in my arms for the first time and whenever I attempted to change his diapers, I would always be the soaked one in the end. I don't know why he doesn't? But one thing is for sure, he does that on purpose. Since I am the reason for bringing him into this world. Ana chuckled and kissed his baby cheeks, "When Kai will be a
Anastasia POV:I kissed Kai goodbye and followed Ryan out of the villa. His shoulders looked extremely tense and even though I was trying my best to appear unfazed, I wasn't. The speed at which my heart was palpitating, if it burst, it wouldn't be a shock. Even in the cold of December, I could feel droplets of sweat trickling on my head. Cautiously, I ran my finger in my hairline to get rid of the moisture. Else, if Ryan saw me being this way, I was sure that he wouldn't take me to see Sarah. Kevin held open the door and said 'Good morning' to me. I forced a smile and gave him a nod, before climbing inside the car. Every molecule of the air was engulfed by Ryan's presence, the second he stepped inside and settled next to me. From the corner of my eye, I sneaked a peeked and regretted doing that instantly because the way muscles on his jaw were ticking, it looked extremely dangerous. It was like he was gnawing on something ruthlessly. I quietly wrapped my arm around his, the stiffne
Anastasia POV:Once again, I am going back to work and this time I really hope it isn't temporary. I straightened my hair and let them loose while Ryan came from behind and wrapped his arm around my waist and leaned in, resting his chin on my shoulder. I put my hand on his cheek and smiled. "What's going on?""I am gonna miss you." He whispered against my skin, sending that tingling sensation straight in my core. "But I will be back before you." I reminded him. "Stop being so dramatic." I chuckled. Ryan scoffed and peppered wet kisses all over my neck. Fuck this!! I will be late from work. Before I will cave in to the desire for him, I turned on my heels and cupped his cheeks, "I promise, I will make it up at night." His lips curled up into a sinister grin. Wait a sec! What kind of a sh*t is going through his head?"I am not the only one who is going to the office. Why are you putting everything on me?" I cocked a brow and now it was his turn to avoid contact with me. "You are bei
