We all know who the guest is, right???? 🫣🫣 Next Update is tomorrow.
“Forgive my manners, Mr Wades. Meet Anastasia Wellington, my wife.” Tristian introduced with his hand wrapped around Anna’s waist possessively. Jacob’s eyes widened, and suddenly, beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He opened his mouth to speak, but his words seemed stuck in his throat.Anna saw his panicked state and smirked inwardly before stretching out her hand. “Hello, Mr Wades. A pleasure to meet you.” She acted like he was a stranger, and Jacob wondered if it was the same Anna he knew. Jacob glanced at Tristian, who was waiting for him to take his wife’s hand, and his heart skipped. He didn’t want Tristian to suspect anything because, to him, it didn’t look like Anna had told him anything. If she had, he wouldn’t be friendly with him. So, he forced his hand out and took Anna’s hand. When his hand touched hers, all his doubts were confirmed. She was his Anna. Or, just Anna because he was sure he had lost all rights to care for her. “I-I didn’t know you had a wife.” Jaco
“Have we met before, Mr. Wade? What’s with all the questions?” Anna asked with an innocent look, leaving Jacob baffled. “What?” Jacob was stunned, but he quickly recovered and re-echoed his question. “Why are you back in Canada, Anna?” Anna shook her head and looked around. “You’re scaring me, Mr. Wade. I don’t think we have ever met, but here you are, throwing questions at me. Are you sure you are mentally stable?” Anna used the exact words Doctor Fred used on her a year ago when she asked for her child, and as expected, Jacob had the same reaction she did then. “Mentally-? Are you being serious right now, Anna? What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like you do not know me?!” Jacob could feel himself losing his cool, and if Anna kept her act up, he might lose himself. “I am a guest, Mr Wade. Please stop harassing me.” Anna got up from her seat with a terrified look and decided to walk away, but Jacob wouldn’t let her go, not when she was treating him like a stranger. “D
“But you have a son, don’t you?” There was a smirk on Anna’s face as she whispered into Emma’s ear, and Emma immediately turned white, but she quickly recovered and laughed it off to cover up her mistake. “What? Y-yes. I mean, of course, I have a son.” The tension was evident in her voice, but she kept a straight face. After a few seconds, she cleared her throat and rephrased her sentence. “What I meant to say is, that is exactly why I won’t be having any more children. Rowan is already enough trouble.” She rescued herself from the awkward situation. She was too focused on correcting her mistake that she didn’t see Anna’s hand on the glass fidget for a second at the mention of her son’s name. “Is that your son’s name? Rowan?” Anna kept her voice strong and kept her act. “Yeah. That’s the name his grandmother, Garcia, gave him.” Emma replied with a shrug, and Anna nodded. ‘I’ll have to change that once I get him back. My son cannot bear a name given by a Wade.’ Anna thought qu
Anna and Tristian arrived at his Mansion an hour later. Shayne, who had been impatiently waiting for them the whole time, ran out immediately when she heard the door open. “Tell me everything!” She commanded, pulling Anna into her room while Tristian went to get settled in his room. Since it was a contract marriage, they both slept in separate rooms. As Anna began to spill the details to her sister, Shayne’s blood boiled, and all she wanted to do was punch Jacob in the face. “We have been invited to the Wade’s Mansion by William for dinner tomorrow,” Anna announced, and Shayne’s eyes widened. “Are you serious? No way! This is perfect, Anna!” She screamed happily. “You’ll finally get to see your son. Oh, I can’t wait. When is the dinner?” “Tomorrow evening. I’m so excited, Shannie. I can’t wait to see my baby, and I also can’t wait to destroy Jacob. You should have seen him at the party. He’s a big idiot.” Anna shook her head and squeezed her face. “You know what? Why don’
Many words were in Tristian’s head to say, but he didn’t know if complimenting Anna would be the right thing to do. But how could he not when she looked that good? “You look nice, Anna.” He almost face-palmed himself. Of all the words in the world, he just had to go with ‘ nice.’ “I don’t think ‘ nice ’ is the word you were going for, but I’ll take it. You look nice yourself.” Anna’s reply was unexpected by both Tristian and Shayne. It seemed that the look she had on had given her some confidence. Shayne loved it! “You also look nice, Shayne. You’re both stunning.” Tristian rephrased his words, holding himself from scratching his head nervously. “It’s the good genes, Reyes.” Shayne flipped her hair and walked to the car, purposely leaving Anna behind. “Are you ready?” Tristian asked, holding out his arm for her. Anna looked at his arm and smirked. “Keep the act for when we get there, Tristian. We don’t have to pretend when it’s just us.” She replied and followed Sh
“So, Mr Reyes. Tell me, how did you guys meet? No one knew you were in a relationship, not to even talk about being married. This has definitely been a big shock for everyone. The internet has been hot since your wife’s appearance yesterday.” William laughed as he sipped his wine, hoping to make small talk before diving into business talks. Tristian twirled his wine glass gracefully and smiled lovingly at Anna. “Anna doesn’t like the media attention. It was her idea to keep things quiet, and I’ll be honest, I couldn’t agree more. It shows how good of a woman she is, you know.” He replied and placed a hand on her thigh, making sure Jacob could see. Well, how could he not see when his eyes were glued to Anna? “Aww, look at them. You’re both sweet, and you look so good together.” Emma praised with a hand on her chest. She couldn’t say the same about herself and Jacob. Their relationship was anything but sweet. “So, how did you guys meet?” Garcia reechoed William’s question with a mi
Anna walked briskly, trusting her heart to lead her to where her son was. She felt he wasn’t on the second floor as she would have heard his voice already, so she went to the last floor. As soon as she arrived, she noticed a slightly open door, and her heart raced. She walks towards the door and hears the most angelic laughter from the room. Anna immediately pauses and listens again to be sure she is hearing correctly. When she hears the same laughter, her heart leaps, and her breathing becomes ragged. She places a hand on her chest to calm herself down as she steps towards the room. “Where are you going?” Anna halts and shuts her eyes in frustration before turning around to meet Garcia, who was standing a few steps away from her with a horrified look on her face. Her eyes moved to the room Anna was standing in front of, and she hurried to her and shut the door properly. “What are you doing, Anastasia?” She asked again, gritting her teeth. Remaining as composed as ever, Anna spo
“Mama…” Anna’s heart skipped immediately, and her hands began to shake. She never expected those words from him so early. To her, it was a sign from heaven, telling her to fight for her child. Everyone at the table gasped loudly as they heard the word leave his lips while Garcia and Jacob looked at each other with terrified looks on their faces. “Oh my! This is unbelievable!” His nanny, Carla, exclaimed with her mouth wide open. Anna noticed the surprise on the faces of everyone and asked. “Is something wrong?” She asked Carla, and without thinking, she blurted out. “He has never said that word before, even to his real mother,” Carla revealed, staring at Anna with a broad smile. “No one asked you to speak, Carla!” Garcia said from her seat with a frown on her face. The tension at the table was high. It was an awkward situation for the Wade Family, especially Garcia and Jacob, who knew the truth. They had never believed it before, but now they did. It was indeed tru
