Ryan POV:

With the snap of fingers, I got my hand on fucking Matt. How dare he try to sell material from black to my wife? I want to bury 6fts in the ground. My men did all the work. Getting him from his hideout, sending him to mine and with the little threats and violence, the man backed up immediately. He knew it wouldn't end well for him to fuel my anger. Although I am not going to let him get away.

When Ana arrived, a sharp piercing pain waved through my heart. I felt like someone stabbed me in the organ and twisted the knife. She was still wearing the clothes from yesterday and now they were wrinkly, her hair was disheveled, there wasn't a hint of any artificial content on her face. She was still beautiful but the natural glow which she usually has, is now replaced by the paleness and anxiety.

I am such a failure. I promised myself that I would keep her safe from the cold gush of the wind, but I couldn't. "Hey." I whispered. She forced a smile, but I couldn't return it.

    Anastasia POV:I opened my eyes and glanced around the room, the drapes were stopping the sunlight and the ambience was so cozy that I never want to step out of the bed. "You up, sleeping beauty?" His gravelly voice hit me and I didn’t know until he spoke that he is also hers. I tilted my head to look at him, he had taken off the coat but was still dressed in formal clothes. His hair was in place and he looked as sexy as ever.I smiled and forced myself to sit, "Yeah. What time is it?" I stifled a yawn as I asked. "1 pm." He carelessly said. "Wait, what!" I was shocked. I can't believe that I slept more than 4 hours. "Oh my God. Why didn't you wake me up?" There was so much that I needed to do. Sleeping for so long is a luxury which I can't afford, at least not now."Calm down." Ryan said, "I know you are busy but don't forget how important it is for you to rest. I can't let you neglect your health." He reminded me, my hand immediately went to touch the belly. I am such a bad mother

  • Taming the Devil   Press conference.

    Anastasia POV: I wore a black dress. My belly didn't look that big in it and I did a little makeup. Samuel and Sarah were by my side. Sarah especially looked nervous because I haven't told her everything. It's not that I don't trust her but I didn't want to involve many people in my plan. Ryan also agreed on that and yes, it wouldn't be wrong to say that I am not anxious. Indeed! I am but looking at Ryan made me feel better. No matter how much I think, it is crazy to believe that he pulled enough evidence to make a company go bankrupt. To be honest, it is scary to have him as a rival or an enemy but being on his good side comes with amazing benefits. "Are you sure I will do this well?" I wrapped my arm around his neck. Samuel and Sarah walked out of the waiting room, giving us some privacy. His arm immediately snaked around my waist, "Of course, you will, sweetheart. You are half Weaver and a half Logan. Don't doubt yourself." He leaned down to kiss my forehead. I smiled brightl

  • Taming the Devil   Vengeance.

    Ryan POV: Ana finally drifted to sleep. The peace on her face was back and I didn't imagine I would be so relieved to see that. The past few days have been really hectic and exhausting. I surfed through the internet and posted positive articles and comments. They were all supporting and apologising to Stones. Yeah, Ana did go through a rough patch but I guess that made her stronger. However, whoever was responsible for this, I am dragging them to hell. Especially the person who tried to attack her at the press conference. I can't imagine seeing her or the baby getting hurt. That fucker is in the custody of the guards and I am gonna skin him alive with the rusted knife to prolong the pain. Furthermore, the stock prices of Stone was recovering and Sandra and her fucking brand wasn't going to survive. Media, the public and the previous victims of her plagiarising scheme, were going to get our revenge. Ana wanted to check everything on her own but I insisted that she should be resti

Trust me, most of the credit goes to Ryan. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to pull myself together and get out of the mental breakdown. "Why don't you take a break, Ana? You are only a month away from your D-day. This isn't good for your health." Mom said. Her beautiful face was filling the screen. Worry dripping from those big and round eyes.I smiled and nodded, "Yeah, you are right. I also want to focus on myself and my family. I have asked Samuel. He will be handling everything for me at work and for the time being, we will be taking only the custom made orders. My design team can handle that much on their own." I had everything planned. This company means too much now. It brought me together with Ryan. I was able to prove myself to my parents. People recognize me and my work now. Furthermore, it made me strong

  • Taming the Devil   This is for driving me insane.

    Ryan POV:The second I stepped inside the home, Ana rushed and wrapped her arms around me. I stumbled because of the force but immediately regained my balance and hugged her back. Everything which has been over burdening me regarding Sarah, it vanished into thin air, causing my lips to tug up. I kissed the crown of her head while she took a long whiff of my scent. My smile grew even more, "Is everything alright? Why such a warm welcome?" I teased and she looked up, without breaking the contact. "Can't I do that?" Her brows arched, "I missed you." She pouted and my heart swelled inside my chest. "If I knew my wife would be missing me so much, I would have come earlier." My voice was huskier than ever. I would be wrong to say that keeping my hands off her is not killing me. Trust me until she is done with the birth, my ball will be permanently blue and secondly, I feel like cheating whenever I think of touching myself. Everything about me is for her and the same goes for Ana. She sho

  • Taming the Devil   Baby shower.

    Anastasia POV:Today is the party. I decided on wearing a simple beige colored dress. It was off shoulder and it took a lot of convincing to let Ryan wear me this. Since it was a maternity dress, I can't wear it again and with the little puppy eyes, my man agreed. I smiled in victory and stepped in the bathroom immediately before he would change his mind. I took a long shower and tied a towel around my body. Ryan had already changed into his navy suit but his jacket was on the bed. Upon seeing me, his eyes lit up and I turned into a puddle right there. "Sit here. I will dry your hair." He patted on the stool in front of the vanity and I did that. Soon, the soft touch of his fingers and the warm air from the blow dryer sent a wave of tranquillity. When he was done, he kissed the hollow under my chin. "You are all good." "Thank you." I beamed. I must have saved a country in my past life to have Ryan as my husband. To be honest, I never used to believe such things but now I don't need

"What does it have to do with you? And why the hell are you getting under my skin?" Beth snapped. I inhaled sharply. "Believe me, he is far better than a spoiled rich brat, like someone." She rolled her eyes. "Touché." Zayn smirked and sipped on the champagne. His calmness added fuel to the fire. Beth gritted her teeth so hard that it was a miracle that didn't fall off. "Don't grind your teeth so much. How will he kiss your toothless mouth then? You are just giving him another chance to cheat." Zayn hit the nerve again. "I can't believe I have to be found out in that state by this bastard." Beth murmured and Zayn's mouth split into a satisfactory grin. "Guys, stop it. You are scaring the baby. It is kicking me in the gut." I put my hand on the bump and lied. Well, the baby is kicking..

I sighed and massaged my temples.We moved to the villa and life is as dreamy as it can get. I try to spend all of my free time with Ana. My constant teasing, her never ending planning for the baby, it is perfect. This is all I needed in my life. Ana and I even decided the name, for both cases, which is a surprise for now.

Ana held my hand so tight that her knuckles went pale while my fingers turned blue as the circulation had been cut off. But that doesn't matter. She is popping my baby out of her vagina... I am in no position to complain. "Push." The doctor said. I put my other hand on her too and gave it a firm squeeze. "You can do it." I whispered and leaned down to kiss her sweaty forehead. "This is so-" her breathing was shallow and the tears were rolling from the corner of her eyes. Ana was practically wretched at this point and damn... I shouldn't have forced her into having another baby."We are never doing this again." I promised her and even in the exhausting state, she managed to smile. I can't help but fall harder for her every single second of my life. "You realised this really soon and I thought that you want a whole soccer team." She mocked me and on the

    Anastasia POV:Soon, it was time for cake cutting but Beth wasn't here. Now, I was genuinely worried about her and Zayn was looking at me with disappointment filled eyes. I chewed my bottom lip and sent her a message. Ana: Where in the world are you? If you will not come to Kai's birthday, then don't even bother to talk to me. I threatened her with the hope that she might be willing to tell me whatever the hell is going on with her. I sighed as there was no reply even after 10 minutes. "Ana, we need to cut the cake. Everyone is waiting." Ryan said to me and when I looked around, it was true. The kids were about to fall asleep. I gave him a nod and Ryan held Kai in his arm and wrapped the other arm around my waist while we went to the area where we are supposed to cut the cake. All the attention was suddenly on us. The phone in my hand buzzed and when I glanced at the shining name on the screen, I immediately opened the message. Beth: I am really sorry, Ana. Something urgent cam

    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

    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

    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

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

A white lacy dress, it is my favorite and when Ryan saw me, his brow quipped, "Are we going somewhere luxurious?""Yes, we are."
