Four months later;

Anastasia POV:

Today, I was finally going to the office after a month. My Mom came to babysit Kai with Martha and that was such a huge relief.

Furthermore, I planned on resuming working now. It's been a long time since we decided on working on the new collection and my head was overblown with all kinds of ideas.

I hummed excited as I took out a suit from the wardrobe and went to change. The weather was also changing. Hot summer has lost its charm and it is starting to get pretty chilly, especially at night.

I slipped inside the suit and settled on signature Louboutin heels. I have been dying to wear them but it is impossible with the baby.

After I was done with the outfit, I tied my hair in a loose ponytail and dabbed some makeup. I was all set to go but there were no signs of Ryan. I frowned and went out to look for him. He was standing on the terrace, phone in between his face and shoulder as he talked with someone on the phone and wore his wrist watch.

  • Taming the Devil   Breaking my trust.

    Anastasia POV:I braced myself as I listened to what Samuel was about to say. "Actually, you know that someone sold our designs to Sandra Park, right?" He wryly looked at me and my heart skipped a beat. Where is this conversation going? The mentioning of the traitor and Sarah in one sentence isn't a good thing, right? I know where this is going but I don't want to think about that. Not until he won't be done explaining the situation. "So?" I held the edge of my desk firmly."You asked me to check the computers and other electronic devices of all the employees and I did, it took me a long time but I couldn't find any evidence. Furthermore, no one has access to the designs, other than the designing team. I investigated all of them personally, even threatened them to tell me the truth but it appeared that they didn't betray the company and trust me I didn't too." He sighed, "I have had my suspicion on Sarah. She had been acting weird around that time and you know that her family situa

  • Taming the Devil   Broken hearts.

    Ryan POV:I was losing my shit when she didn't answer any of my calls. That's why I wanted to talk to her earlier, but everything was so messed up. I lost the timing and later couldn't muster up the courage to tell her that I have been hiding things from her which means the most to her. Without wasting a single second, I called Samuel. "Yes, Mr. Weaver?" He asked me politely but I had no time for showing manners and being courteous."Where is Ana? Does she know?" Since I asked him to keep it secret from her too, that's why he was well aware of the situation. "Yes." He sighed, "She noticed Sarah's absence and insisted that I should tell her everything. I had no choice." I swallowed back a curse word. To be honest, I wanted to be the one to tell her the truth. Perhaps there would have been a way to make her see my point of view then. But Samuel has already told her everything. I don't blame him, I know she must have forced him for the details but what am I gonna do? "She isn't pick

  • Taming the Devil   Mending the situation.

    Anastasia POV:When I arrived at my parents place, I locked myself in my room. Mom tried to ask me what happened, but I ended the conversation by saying that I don't want to talk about it now.She looked concerned. Well, who wouldn't be? I just left my husband's house... however, she didn't press the matter further. I stayed with Kai in my room, played with him, fed him, took a nap.. to be honest, he is the biggest distraction otherwise, I was sure that I would have died. Ryan is incorporated in my life so much that even one second without him passes like an eternity. I adjusted Kai's baby hair with my fingers while he made those baby sounds. "Why don't you like your Dad, hmm?" Although I make fun of Ryan whenever Kai starts crying when he is with him, I don't like that. I want them to bond and instead of being awkward around each other, they should be like friends. I thought that this wouldn't last long but even after 4 months, everything between them is the same. "Is it because o

  • Taming the Devil   Pathetic and vulnerable.

    Ryan POV:I never thought that Ana would be so cold hearted. She literally left me with the umbrella out here. I wanted to follow her and barge in the house, but I couldn't do that. That will make things worse. I sighed as my grip on the umbrella tightened. Before, I was a little tipsy but suddenly I felt completely sober. Nothing is working today... literally nothing. Instead of shutting me off, she should at least give me a chance to explain myself. After that, she can do whatever she wants. This feels really unfair. But I am not in the position to complain. I shut my eyes and pinched the space in between my brows while the headlights of the car from behind caught my attention. I narrowed my eyes to look at who is here and cursed under my breath, when I saw Zayn. She must have asked him to get me. That's for sure. "What the fuck, bro!" He rushed towards me and looked at me from head to toe. I was completely soaked. The droplets of water were dripping from my hair. "Are you nuts?

  • Taming the Devil   Dishonest and disloyal.

    Anastasia POV:I woke up with a severe headache. It felt like I had been working the whole night, my body was stiff and it aches badly. I sighed and stretched my arms and legs and glanced at Kai who was sleeping peacefully after giving me a hard time last night, making me realise how much of a big help Ryan has been. He always made sure I was properly rested. I raked my fingers through the hair and groaned in frustration. There is no way I want to start my day with his thoughts. I sighed and got out of the bed before pulling the drapes from the window. His car was still parked there as Zayn took him in last night. I chewed my bottom lip at the thought that he would come to get it back. I checked my phone and my hands trembled slightly upon seeing a message from him.Ryan: I will give you the space which you need, but Ana please don't shut me off for a long time. I won't be able to bear this. I shut my eyes for a few seconds and went to take a shower. There are a few things which ne

  • Taming the Devil   Under surgery.

    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

  • Taming the Devil   I will die.

    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

  • Taming the Devil   Patch up.

    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

The soft glow of string lights illuminated the space, casting a warm and inviting ambiance.Ryan and I were surrounded by laughter and lively conversations as we mingled with our friends and family. The sound of music filled the air, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festivities. I glanced over at Ryan, his charismatic smile lighting up the night, as he engaged in conversation with our guests.Spotting Zayn, Ryan's younger brother, across the crowd, I couldn't help but notice a hint of melancholy in his eyes. Zayn had always been the quiet and reserved type, and lately, he seemed burdened by something. Concerned, I decided to approach him."Hey, Zayn,"

I finally recovered after giving birth and this is our first vacation with the two kids. As excited I am for this, I am nervous at the same time too."Look, Daddy! Flowers!" Kai suddenly said, grabbing our attention. While, the relationship between the father and son is also blooming. He turned 2 and into a mature man. I could not help but simle at his cuteness. Those cubby cheeks, full lups and big round eyes, they will be the death of me."Yes, Kai, those are beautiful flowers. Do you want to smell them?" Ryan held him in his arms as he asked. Since we have always been busy with our workloads as well as parenting, we did not had time in our hands to bring him

  • Taming the Devil   Eleanor Weaver.

    9 months later;Ryan POV:That hard and painful time was once again there. Everything is fun until I see her in excruciating pain. 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

  • Taming the Devil   I am proud of you.

    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

  • Taming the Devil   Happy birthday, Kai.

    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

  • Taming the Devil   Abrupt vacation.

    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

  • Taming the Devil   Cockpit.

    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

    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

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
