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
Ryan POV:"RYAN! RYAN! RYAN!" My eyes fly open at the frantic sound of Ana. I silently prayed that there was nothing wrong with her. I glanced at the wall clock and it was 6am. There was still plenty of time before the office. Then? "What happened?" I rubbed my face and tried to open my half sleepy eyes before sitting up straight and looking at her. Her bed hair, damn! She always looks beautiful in them. I had the urge to run my fingers in them but stopped since I needed to know why the hell is she sweating the first thing in the morning. "Martha is sick." She said, I sighed, "How bad is it? Shall I call a doctor?" I know we have exhausted her pretty badly ever since Kai was born. She really needs rest. That's why we are considering hiring a professional nanny for him. "Kai was crying so I went to the annexe to check on her. She has a really bad fever and you don't have to call the doctor, I have sent her to tbe hospital with the driver." She explained. "So, what's the problem?"
Ryan POV:I didn't expect to have it easy by having Kai on my side while working. My meetings were getting delayed and there was a huge pile on my desk. When I said to Ana that I don't have an important schedule, I was not being completely honest. "Sir, shall we go?" Kevin asked me but I was busy making the formula for Kai. I sighed, "Yeah, just a sec." I immediately shaked the feeder to mix the content and carried Kai by one hand while trying to make him have his milk with the other. Now, I understand why Ana is always exhausted and deep down I felt guilty for asking her to have another child too. But my decision hasn't changed yet. Furthermore, I am not lazy. I try to play with him and spend time but he just doesn't like my company. However, I think I am mending that situation a little bit.When I walked inside the conference room, the executives got up to greet me. Without saying anything, I took a seat at the head of the table while they were trying to digest the situation. Me
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
