“S-shayne… I think my water broke.” Anna said with a terrified look on her face and two seconds later, she was hit with an unbearable pain.Shayne, who had no experience with pregnant women, was completely confused, so, she dialed Jacob’s number while trying to get Anna to the car.“Pick the fuck up!” She yelled as she dialed it for the fifth time. It had been ringing, but the irresponsible jerk wasn’t picking up. He had gotten her sister pregnant and claimed to love her, but when she needed him the most, he was nowhere to be found. Shayne hated that her sister was in love with such a man but, what could she do?Anna was in ‘ love ’.Anna and Jacob have been together for one year now. She worked as his secretary at Wades Empire for one year, and they soon started developing feelings for each other. But, Anna and Jacob were from different worlds, so she had to hide her feelings for a really long time and even when he proposed to her, she was reluctant to agree to his proposal because
“I think you have lost it, Miss Anna. You didn’t give birth to a child today. You only came here for a checkup.” As the words left Doctor Fred’s mouth, Anna felt air leave her chest as she found herself struggling to breathe. She was confused and in pain since she was yet to recover from the hospital. What she was more confused about was how he was standing before her and spewing lies like she was an idiot.“Cut that stupid crap, Doctor Fred. You know that I am not stupid! You were in there with me a while ago and helped me give birth! What are you talking about?” Anna screamed at his face but, his stance was unchanging, and he continued to stare at her with a cold look.“Jacob will murder you if he finds out that you are trying to steal my baby from me.” She threatened, pointing at his face. Her screams were causing a scene at Doctor Fred’s hospital, so he decided to send her away.“We have been nice to you and even offered you free treatment for your illness, but, we will no long
“Your work here is done. I wanted a child, so you gave me one. You can die for all I care. I have gotten what I wanted.” He said and Anna felt the air leave her lungs. “W... what?” She forced the words out of her throat. Her chest felt like it was about to rip into pieces. She must have heard wrong. Even Shayne, who already knew how much of an asshole he was, couldn’t believe that he would actually say those words to Anna’s face. He was truly an asshole Anna shook her head and grabbed his arm, her lips shivering. “Y…you are just joking, right? This is one of your jokes, isn’t it?” Her tone was unstable and her voice broke. Jacob only looked at her with disgust before latching his hands around her tiny ones and pushing her so hard that if it wasn’t for her quick-witted sister, she would have fallen face flat on the floor. “You are causing a scene here, Anastasia Walker. I'd advise you to leave… go far away and never come back. And, don’t even try going to the media or p
ONE YEAR LATER.“What do you think of Trevor, Anna? He’s a nice guy, and he’s a director at Mills Corp,” Shayne said, shoving a picture of the mentioned man into Anna’s face, hoping to pique her interest.But Anna remained as disinterested as ever. Ever since she was betrayed by Jacob and had her child taken away, it was as though a part of her was also taken away.They even had to move to a different country to avoid news about him and his wife, but nothing worked. Anna was still shaken by the incident even after a whole year.“You don’t have a boyfriend either, Shayne. Why don’t you go out with him?” Anna said with a sigh, continuing to scroll through her phone.Her eyes were glued to the phone, and they held a sad look as tears pooled in her eyes.“What are you looking at?” Shayne asked with raised eyebrows, but Anna was too immersed in her phone. Shayne quickly snatched it from her hands.“Jesus, Anna! Can you stop stalking this asshole? It’s been a year already!” Shayne raised he
“Christ, Anna. You are so not drinking again.” Shayne entered the room with two aspirin tablets and a glass of water. “One glass, Anna! One fucking glass, and you are already drunk as hell. This is never happening again.” Shayne grumbled. “I feel like shit.” Anna groaned as the headache hit her hard. “Come on,” Shayne said as she helped her sit up. Once she was up, she handed the tablet over to her and helped her swallow everything. “I’m glad I wasn’t too drunk to get you home. Well, Dylan helped us get home, but I did find you.” Shayne rapped, but Anna was too busy to regain her body. “Do you remember anything that happened after you left?” Shayne asked, and Anna nodded her head without thinking. “I went to the bar to get some rest and then…and then.” She stammered as her brain went completely blank. Anna took a deep breath and decided to try again. “I went to the bar to rest, and then I…oh my God!” Her hands clamped down on her mouth as she remembered the little scene s
Anna took a deep breath and began recounting her past to Tristian. “Jacob Wades was my boyfriend. He’s with my child. The current heir to the Wades Empire is my son, stolen from me by that evil family.” Anna continued, oblivious to the look on Tristian’s face. The mere utterance of the name ‘Wades’ filled her with anger. Tristian, taken aback, clarified, “Jacob Wades?” “I know it might be unbelievable, but it is true. I might not look like it, but the current heir to the Wades Empire is my son. He was stolen from me by that evil family.” Anna gritted her teeth in anger as the name she hated the most left her lips. When she looked up, Tristian had a mischievous smile on his face. She couldn’t help but wonder if he knew them personally. Not that she would be surprised. He looked like a wealthy man, and rich people always know themselves. “Do you know the Wade family? Not vague knowledge like everyone. You look like you have a personal relationship with them.” She asked with t
Anna’s eyes widened in shock, and her jaw almost dropped to the ground…almost. “I…He’s Tristian Reyes?” She stammered, her eyes still showing disbelief. “Are you kidding me right now? The man told you his name, for heaven’s sake!” Shayne screamed, gripping her hair out of frustration. “It didn’t occur to me then, Shayne. I had no idea.” Anna said, still unable to comprehend that the man she had just met was a renowned billionaire. “Well, call him back and tell him you’re interested.” Shayne suggested, prompting a baffled look from Anna. “I just left there an hour ago. I don’t want to look desperate. I’ll call him at night and ask to meet up tomorrow.” She said, and after giving it much thought, Shayne agreed. They sat silently for a few minutes, thinking about how things would change if they took Tristian’s help. Then, Anna suddenly remembered that it was still early in the afternoon, but Shayne was still home. “Why aren’t you at work? The last I checked, I am the une
Anna sent a text to Shayne, informing her that she was heading to Tristian’s office, to which Shayne immediately replied, wishing her luck and warning her not to miss this God-sent opportunity. "Thanks, boss,” Anna murmured with a relaxed grin as she read Shayne’s message. When she got out of the house, a black Range Rover was waiting outside, and a man who was dressed in black stood beside it. As she stepped out of the house, a black Range Rover was parked outside, and a well-dressed man in black stood next to it. “Miss Anastasia Wellington?” he asked in a professional tone, his expression as stern as stone. “Yes, that’s me,” Anna replied, clearing her throat and standing tall. “Mr. Reyes sent me to drive you to his office,” he said calmly, a striking contrast to his severe appearance. “Mr Reyes has informed me. Thank you.” She replied with a polite smile. The man nodded and opened the passenger door for her, to which Anna thanked him and got in. She couldn’t h
