Tristan and Anna sat in the backseat of Tristan’s BMW, the thick silence between them almost suffocating then. After the awkward incident at the office, Tristan found it hard to speak to Anna. He couldn’t believe that he acted in such a manner. Moving his head slowly, Tristan stole a glance at Anna, her face slightly turned towards the window.

‘She’s probably wondering what has come over me.’ Tristan thought, replaying the scene from his office in his mind. He was known to be calm, never letting his thoughts be known to others but, he had acted boldly, almost recklessly in front of everyone at the office.

That wasn’t like him.

Tristan wondered why he acted in such a manner. It wasn’t like anything bad had happened to Anna. Just the news of her whereabouts not being known scared him to death and the thought of her being with her ex, Jacob infuriated him more than losing a billion-dollar contract would.

    “I do, Father. I also have the perfect woman for this family and, even better, a perfect mother for Rowan.” Jacob said, grinning from ear to ear. William’s eyebrows lifted in surprise as he heard his son. “I see you have already found a replacement for her.” He said he was still not fully convinced of Jacob’s plan. If it were Nathan standing before him with an idea, he would have immediately agreed and even pulled out resources to help him achieve his goal, but, this was Jacob and Jacob wasn’t as smart as Nathan. Not that he was foolish, but he acted rashly at times and wasn’t always lucky, as his rash acts always blew back in his face. “I have been preparing for this for a while. Emma wouldn’t see it coming and by the time she realized what was happening, it would be too late to do anything because I would be throwing her things out already and making room for my new wife.” Jacob replied confidently, and William suddenly asked about this new wife he was blabbing about.

    “She is Anastasia Wellington, now known as Anastasia Reyes.” William thought he had heard wrong. His ears had to be deceiving him. There was no way Jacob’s ex-girlfriend was Rowan’s mother. The same woman they threw out of the hospital minutes after she gave birth. There had to be a mistake somewhere. Adjusting his position on the chair, William asked. “What did you just say?” Jacob saw that he now had his father’s attention, although he wasn’t sure if it would end well for him. But, he continued hoping that his father would see the big picture. “Anastasia Reyes is Rowan’s mother. She was my girlfriend and secretary two years ago, father.” He reechoed, his voice clear enough for William. William stared at his son like he had just seen a ghost, his mind still unable to fully understand what he had just heard. For the first time in a long time, William couldn’t speak. He was too shocked to do so. He didn’t know if he was to blame his son for not being able to see tha

    Tristan: [Are you awake?] Anna looked at the message again to be sure she wasn’t seeing things. Even though they lived in the same house, Tristan rarely texted her, not even when they were at work, so, seeing his name appear on her phone was shocking for her. With a smile that reached her ears, Anna texted back. Anna: [Yes. Are you working?] Immediately after the message was delivered, it was read, meaning that he never left the message box. A few seconds later, his reply came in. Tristan: [No. I was done with that an hour ago. Since then, I have been trying to sleep and thought I should check up on you. It seems you’re finding it hard to sleep too. Why is that?] Anna hummed and checked the time again before staring at his text with a pout on her face. “Why can’t he sleep? I hope everything is okay with him, " she said quietly before replying. Anna: [Oh, it’s nothing serious. I just have a lot on my mind. Nothing to be worried about.] This time around, he waited

    “I understand you, Anna. The only problem is that I do not want to be informal with you. I want to be your husband.” Tristan said with an intense gaze, leaving Anna dumbstruck. The blood on her face dried up, making her look like she had just seen a ghost. She opened her mouth to speak but, no words came out. She could only hear her heart beating loudly against her ribs. ‘Don’t say it. Please, don’t say.’ She whispered in her thoughts. “Look, Anna.” Tristan continued, and she swallowed hard, her heart shaking with fear. What was she scared of? Even Anna had no idea. All she knew was that she wasn’t ready to hear those words from Tristan. “You don’t have to have romantic feelings for me to be my wife. That is something we can build with time.” Tristan added, making Anna’s brows crease. ‘Is he trying to say he has no feelings for me?’ She thought as a strange feeling crept in, tightening her chest. Anna knew that Tristan was wrong about her not having feelings for him.

    “Spend the night with me,” Tristan whispered his face only a few inches away from hers. Anna could still feel his hot breath fanning her face and the sound of his heartbeat filled her ears. Without waiting for her reply, Tristan leaned in and claimed her lips again, his tongue moving hungrily in her mouth. He was like a starved dog at the sight of food and all he wanted to do was eat till he was satisfied. His hand that was around her waist rose to the back of her head and pulled her in, deepening the kiss. Anna didn’t fight it. How could she when she was also burning with desire? Her lips moved at the same pace as his, wanting to feel every part of him but, Tristan was not going to let her take charge. As the kiss intensified, Tristan pulled out, causing a stifled cry to leave Anna’s throat. “It’s day one, Anna. We’re going to take things slowly, just like every normal couple.” He said, still steadying his breath. Anna nodded slowly, a smile dancing on her lips. She was

    “Tristan confessed his feelings to me, Shayne. He confessed.”Shayne shrieked, her eyes widened with Joy. “Oh my goodness, Anna. I can’t believe that happened. That’s Amazing! How do you feel now that this has happened?” She asked and Anna’s smile deepened, a blush appearing on her face.“It feels unreal. I still cannot believe it happened.”Anna replied.“So, are you guys a real couple now? No more marriage of convenience?” Shayne asked with a wide grin and Anna’s smile faded and was replaced with sadness.“I…I don’t know, Shayne. I really want to give him a chance but, I am so scared.” She cried.Shaking her head slowly, Shayne reached out to her sister and held her hand. “Oh, Anna. We’ve had this discussion before, sweetheart. Jacob was a bad experience and not every man is like that. Tristan on the other hand, is a darling and we have seen that. I know four months isn’t enough to know someone fully but I tell you, Anna, I have a feeling he is a good man. You know I never get these

    “Come, let’s go to my room. We should be careful, even in my house.” Anna said and led Emma to a guest room in the house.Even though she was now working with Emma to bring down the Wades, she wasn’t going to trust her fully as there was still a chance Emma might want to betray her. The only people Anna could fully trust were her sister and Tristan.She still had to be careful with others even though they seemed nice.“There’s a lot in here, Anna. William has more secrets than we thought.” Emma said as she placed the bag on the bed once they were inside the cozy room.“Show me.” Anna requested eagerly and Emma nodded as she started pulling out the items she had stolen from William’s secret room.“I didn’t even have enough time to go through them because of how many they are.” Emma shook her head and handed Anna a stack of files she had compiled.“I have gone through these though….they are terrible. I cannot believe he is respected in this country. Once this leaks, he will definitely b

    “Someone was in here!” William said angrily and stormed into the living room, his face twisted in rage. He didn’t want to cause a scene because there were secrets hidden in that room that no one was to ever find out and if Jacob or Garcia saw him getting so worked up about someone going into his room, they would wonder what was in it that he wanted to hide so badly. So, he called one of the maids and had her call the others to his study.“Get everyone to my study, now!” He yelled at the young maid who immediately scurried off to grab the other staff.The maids scattered at the entrance of his study, unsure of the source of his anger as they sensed trouble on the way.“Which one of you came into my study?!” He barked, his voice echoing through the four walls of the study.The maids exchanged confused glances as they silently questioned each other. Tracy, one of the older maids decided to speak up and save everyone from William’s wrath.“Pardon me, sir, but, none of us came into this fl

    “Emma?” An overly familiar voice called out and Emma froze. When she looked up, she found William standing beside his son, Jacob. They both stared at her with suspicion as she never frequented the area unless she was being called.“What are you doing here?” William asked, narrowing his eyes at her Emma’s heart pounded harshly against her chest and her mind raced, searching for a lie to get her out of the situation she was in.“I…I..uh.. the thing is…” She stammered but couldn’t form any coherent sentence.“What are you doing in this hallway, Emma? You know it belongs to Father and I don’t think you were sent by anyone so what the fuck are you doing here?” Jacob yelled, his gaze sharp and full of suspicion.Emma knew that she had to say something fast if she didn’t want them to throw her out right there so, she said the first thing that entered her head.“I was looking for you, Jacob. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find you so I decided to come here since I know you visit here freq

    Emma stared at the now-revealed door with her jaw on the ground. Her pulse quickened and her feet trembled but, she was determined to uncover whatever secret was hidden behind the door so, she stepped in. There was a dark hallway, the only source of light being a dim light which was at the end of the hallway. She finally reached the end of the hallway and a door came into view. Emma said a small prayer before reaching for the doorknob and to her surprise, it wasn’t locked. Her heart thundered in her chest as the door creaked open, revealing a small, dimly lit room. It was almost like a private lounge with leather couches, a glass coffee table, and a running air conditioner. The air in the secret room was cold with a faint scent of cigarettes. This meant that the room wasn’t abandoned. If anything, it was still very much in use. But she wasn’t there to gaze at the mysterious room so, she blinked and readied herself. “Alright, Emma.” She whispered to herself in a barely audible voi

    THE WADE MANSIONEmma sat on her king-sized bed, her mind filled with various thoughts. With her family’s name on the decline and her father on the verge of imprisonment for money laundering, she had lost all the modeling projects she was handling and had received cancellation emails from other brands that wanted to work with her.Her life was falling apart and there was nothing she could do.The last few days had been hard for her as she could feel the tension in the Wade mansion. She knew that something big was about to happen. She could feel it.Jacob’s attitude had become worse and even his parents were no longer on her side. Not that they were ever on her side.Her only option was Anna, the only person who had offered to help her. She understood that if she wanted to save her family and herself, she had to listen to Anna. There was no time to be suspicious of her.A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts. Garcia opened the door and walked in, a false smile on her face.

    “I have made the necessary preparation. I will be divorcing Emma next week after the party to make room for you in my life.”Anna stared at Jacob with her eyes wide open and her jaw almost on the ground, the weight of his words hanging in the air.She knew he was a fool who didn't think before acting but this…this was unexpected. She could tell from his expression that he had not sat down to think things through properly. If he had, he wouldn't have been so eager to go through with the divorce. Any sane person would be suspicious of their ex-girlfriend who they treated badly suddenly coming back into their lives and acting like everything was great between them.“Are you being serious right now, Jacob?” Anna asked, her voice steady but the shock in her eyes remained. “On what grounds are you asking for a divorce? I don't think Emma has done anything bad enough to warrant a divorce.” Anna said, pretending to care about his marriage.“We aren't a real couple, Anna. Getting a divorce wou

    “You are openly seducing the CEO to keep your job because you are talentless.”A surge of irritation rose within Shayne but, she maintained her composure. The last thing she was going to do was stoop to their level and exchange words with them. So, with a smile on her face, she held her head eye and walked to them.“I don't have to seduce him, my darling. He's the one swooning over me. Too bad no one has noticed you….either of you. You seem like the talentless one to me.” She mocked, leaving them with their jaws on the floor.“Now, If you'd excuse me. This talentless person has a shoot to do. There's no time for me to be lazying around doing nothing. I'll give you some advice; you should change this nasty character of yours. Maybe then you'd stop being an MIT.” Shayne said to both of them, referring to them as a Model-In-Training.Before any of them could give her a response, the door opened to reveal her manager who informed her that her shoot begins in ten minutes.
