Threatening Her
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56-ANASTASIA-
Gasping I turned sideways to see Nathan leaning on the side of the wall of my desk with a hand in his pocket. The blazer of his three piece suit hung on his arm and his hair was all messy and ruffled as if he thought over a lot before showing up here.
Even though I was hungry I pushed the packet aside and got back to the article I was writing, I am mad at him no matter how hot he looks or how bringing dinner for me is caring. “Are you seriously going to ignore me?”
I nodded and typed a few more lines but reading it again I realized it didn’t even make sense, his presence is messing with my brain. I saved the file and looked at him, “What are you doing here?” He pointed at the dinner making me sigh. “You made me work this late and now you are pretending to care... I really don’t get you Nathan.”
He pulled Cain’s chair and sat in front of me before folding his suit neatly and

-ANASTASIA-Imagine my surprise to wake up next Nathan once again, this is now the fourth time. I am not complaining but it would be nice if I knew that he was going to be there when I open my eyes in the morning. Today I am not even going to ask him because his answer as usual will be that he likes sleeping with me.One might think he is getting closer to me but throughout the day he just ignores me completely and stays most of the day in his office.“Is it weird that I want to hack into Nathan’s email and messages?” I asked Priya sipping my coffee.She choked on the coffee for a second then looked at Cain who seemed amused by my question. “I won’t call it weird but I do think it is the jealous wife in you.” Cain said with a smirk.“See I knew you would say something like this which is exactly why I asked Priya.” I said putting my tongue out at him. “Also ex-wife. I don’t
The Inflammable Secret Hacking
-ANASTASIA-“You are finally ready.” I whispered once I strapped Helena’s shoes. I took a step back and looked at her in admiration, she looked amazing and beautiful in her white dress with a fluffy skirt. “Oh my god I might actually cry. Priya wasn’t joking.”I wiped some nonexistent tears and fixed a tiny crinkle in her dress. “Baby you look like an angel.” Nathan said from behind me, he had again entered my room without knocking. I turned around and saw the pride in his eyes but there was also a hint of sadness.“Are you okay?”He raised his brow. “I am fine... I was just thinking that in a few years she will be wearing a white dress again for her wedding.” Aww! Someone is a softy. I pressed my lips together to prevent smiling and simply nodded. “When are you getting ready? We have to leave in five minutes. Please don’t tell me that you are going to mak
The Inflammable Secret Convincing her
-NATHAN-I just hope Anastasia stays near Marco the entire time, her father continued to play with Helena as her mom gushed about today’s event. “I am so happy that you both are going to that honeymoon, you really need the break.”That caught my attention. “We are?” I don’t remember agreeing, I don’t even think we took the tickets from pops.She nodded eagerly, “Yes, after you stormed off Tasha took the tickets and said you were going, you are, right?”Going away would keep Anastasia safe for a few days at least till I figure out who sent the email and then we can come back. But if she agreed does that mean she is staying? “We are going.”“Great, I can ensure you Helena will enjoy Chicago.” A frown appeared on my face. “Your parents will have her over after one week.”Okay again why are these people taking decisions for us? And how long
The Inflammable Secret His Plan
-ANASTASIA-His posture stiffened and his jaw clenched. “You don’t have to worry about that.”I scoffed. “You are being serious? Because if anyone has to worry it should be me since the threat is directed at me Nathan.”“Let’s get out of here first.”I shook my head and stopped him from leaving. “No, we are going to finish this conversation.” I wanted to know if he had any clue on who it was but also I will have to tell him that I hacked into his email. I think I might get in trouble for that.“First of all you shouldn’t have hacked into my account. I have told you many times to stay away from my things.” He said his jaw still clenched. I flushed in embarrassment on getting caught, how did he know it was me? “Did you really think that I want find out? I knew you would go snooping around the moment I saw you walk away from the church soon followed by

The Inflammable Secret Waking Up
-ANASTASIA-I felt something soft on my face almost tickling me in my face. I opened my eyes, or well tried to open my quickly but ended up wincing as my head started to hurt like someone was hammering it from the inside. “Ana?” a husky voice reached me, I knew that voice wait that is Nathan’s voice.Did he get back from the office already? When did I even fall asleep? Then as if a ton of bricks fell from the top of a wall, I remembered coming back home, Maria hurrying for what? Someone’s birthday. Isn’t Helena’s milk boiling on the stove? The fire! “Helena...” The name slipped out of my mouth in a hoarse whisper. “Is she... uh okay?” I know Nathan is beside me from his voice earlier.“She is fine, just a little puffy from all the crying but you can see her if you open your eyes.” Why is his voice so loud? Does he have to scream even when he is near me? I not deaf!
The Inflammable Secret Packing
-ANASTASIA-“Guys I don’t have the time to make cookies.” I said at a pouting Priya and Cain, Nathan got called for an urgent meeting so he delayed the flight for two hours finally giving me the time to pack. “Also didn’t you see the kitchen? Where will I make them?”And I called these two, in the hopes of getting some sort of help but they have been messing around from the time they arrived. Sighing Priya stood up, “Fine, you can go get Helena’s stuff, we will start packing yours.”“Thank you.” We hurried in three directions. Cain went to make sure Helena wasn’t alone and she had a knack of being fussy exactly when there isn’t time. I went into her room and opened her mini trolley.What am I supposed to pack for Helena? Clothes. I neatly folded a bunch of her onesie and a few dresses. I put in her favorite milk bottle and some of her beloved toys. Within half a
The Inflammable Secret Riding
-ANASTASIA-By the time I was done with massaging Nathan’s neck we had landed. Helena looked around us with deep interest at the new environment, I know she has come to Chicago before but she was really small then and now she is a little bigger so I think she can understand the changes around her.The bodyguards followed us in a different car and Gerald had informed me that they were staying in a nearby motel. “Helena is going to get really fussy when we won’t be there with her for twelve days.” I stated while the driver drove us to my house. Nathan had arranged a car for us and knowing better I didn’t ask him how.He glanced at me and then back at his phone. “I am not the one who accepted the tickets.”I smacked his arm. “Hey! I never planned to go and do you even think I could have convinced you to go to Maldives for these many days?”He shook his head. “That you can&rsq

-ANASTASIA-“There you go.” I said pulling the t-shirt over my three-year-old and as always it was a green t-shirt, the boy didn’t like anything other than green. He gave me a cute smile before jumping off the bed giving me a heart attack and ran off to the kitchen to steal one of the cookies that Nathan made the other day. “Don’t take more than one, Chris.” I yelled but I know that it is off no use.Hurrying I changed into a maroon formal dress and did a half up and down before getting out of the room. “Come on Chris, I have a reading to be done with and then we have to go to your sister’s play.” By the time I reached the kitchen I was panting.Chris had cookie crumble all over his face, “Mama can I have another cookie?” I looked at the plate, out of six cookies that were there only four were remain, I gave him a knowing look which made him pout. “Two mama, yummy dada&rsquo
The Inflammable Secret I Love You
-ANASTASIA-Oof! All the bags were packed but I was only taking one with me, Nathan said he could send the rest to Philadelphia. No, he is not okay with me going but that is how it has to be. My bus comes at 10 which means I have to leave now if I want to catch that bus.I read my response to Philadelphia once again with a sigh. I guess I am happy with my decision, this is for the best. “Are you packed?” Nathan asked making me turn around and see him leaning against the door.Last night I thought he would not stay with me in the room but he did, he hugged me tightly almost as if I would get up and leave at night. Then again, I didn’t complain because I don’t know when I will get the chance to sleep with him again. “Yeah. Helena awake?”He nodded. I removed the shirt I was wearing noticing my belly, it was not showing yet, Dr. Melendez said I would have to wait for three months to see the bump but he sai
The Inflammable Secret His Version of the Truth
-NATHAN-“Why did you lie to me?” She asked tears filling her eyes. I thought she was bothered by me not being Helena’s father but her problem was that I lied to her.Sighing I pulled at the ends of my hair, I was going to tell her when we went on that date but then she felt insecure and the day went with that. I tried many times but backed off afraid of her reaction. “I was scared.”She scoffed. “Is that the truth? Because Nathan as far as I can remember from the time, we met you have only been feeding me with lies and me, like a fool believed each and every one of it.” Her words hurt but I deserved it and I won’t ask her to take it back or apologize.“I am now telling you the truth...” I said trying to reach out to her but she stepped away like I was a stranger, this hurt way worse than when Jocelyn cheated on me and I can’t imagine the pain I caused her. “Anastasia
The Inflammable Secret New Member
-ANASTASIA-My eyes widened. “Ar… are you sure?” I asked trying to remember whether we used any protection, all the times we did it but I am not sure. I didn’t take any pills but about Nathan, I am not sure.“Yes. WE checked twice since we were shocked.” Should I panic? No, I am not sad, I have a life growing in me, in nine months I will get someone like Helena there is nothing to be sad only happy. But I don’t know if Nathan felt the same. “Anastasia, we took your blood with you pregnant that is not good.”I frowned. “How so? The baby is fine right?”“For now, yes but I don’t know about the future, because as you can see you have intense pain and that is not going to reduce. During the delivery you are going to have complications and anemia is something you will have to suffer throughout the nine months.” I smiled at him, making him raise his brow. &ldqu
The Inflammable Secret Helena
-ANASTASIA-I had stopped listening to the doctor and had my eyes on a frantic Maria. Moving away from the others I walked over to her, somehow my mind kept telling me that something is wrong. But what could go wrong? Maybe Helena was being fussy so Maria brought her to me.Yeah, that is the best explanation. I touched her shoulder, she turned to me and heaved a big sigh of relief. “Tasha... Helena is not well.”I raised my brow before taking Helena from her, “What could be wrong? She was fine when we left her in the morning.” I said chuckling nervously. I touched her forehead, it wasn’t warm but she looked pale and wasn’t opening her eyes. “She doesn’t have a temperature but why is she so pale?”Maria shrugged. “She was playing with her toy when it dropped from her hand, I thought it was normal but when I looked at her, she was on the verge of fainting. I picked her up and calle
The Inflammable Secret Stitches
-ANASTASIA-Their eyes were wide like saucers when the door was bashed open and Nathan came in with the cops. “Surprised?”I smacked his arm. “Stop being so dramatic, they get our point.” Nathan glared at each one of them and I saw his clenched fists, I didn’t want him to fight in here no at least not in front of the cops. I took his hand in mine releasing the knuckles and then entwining our fingers.“You. Were. Alive?” Jocelyn asked still in shock.“Yes. If you only wanted to kill me and take my place in the company then why did you pretend to be in love?” Jocelyn’s head bowed in shame, his eyes were on Stella. Even when he says that he doesn’t care, I knew he did after all it was his cousin and first love.Stella was screaming and throwing her feet in air as they dragged her out. “Nathan we are cousins, why do you think that I would plot to kill you? I am&hel
The Inflammable Secret Making him Confess
ANASTASIA-Surprisingly Dave wanted to meet today, that is a week after our conversation. I wonder why he did that? “Park how long till we reach?” I asked him leaning over.“10 minutes ma’am.” Nodding my head, I continued to look outside. I knew Nathan was ten feet away from me but I couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous. If everything goes well, then according to the plan Nathan will announce that he is alive in the afternoon and from tomorrow I can go back to reporting and Nathan can go to his second home, his office.Dave wanted us to meet in a hotel, not a very pricey one but considerably cheap. It was a motel more than a hotel. When Park parked the car, I took in a deep breath before praying in my head. I am scared, I don’t want to do this. Shit! I am panicking. “Relax, I am right behind you.”Nathan’s voice calmed me and I smiled at myself. “Let’s go teach thi
The Inflammable Secret Trapping Them
-NATHAN-Jocelyn had entered my list as number three, yes, she managed to pass five other people. Seeing Anastasia’s shocked face, I could understand why she would think that I wouldn’t put Jocelyn’s name in the list. What she didn’t know was that I am way too rational and practical, I don’t trust anyone easily.And Jocelyn had stepped down from my trust list the day she cheated on me. Also, her sudden interest to be with me again was way too obvious, she wanted money which was actually greed but I knew what she wanted more and that is power. “Stop looking surprised, Monroe and tell me if you think of anything else. I will run this with Marco.”She nodded and went out of the room only to come back within minutes. I smirked at her, “Missed me already?”Rolling her eyes, she came near me past my desk and stood in front of me with one hand on her hip making her look sexy, the crop top she
The Inflammable Secret Confirming the Enemies
-ANASTASIA-“I am sorry but you are wrong.” They looked confused and Cecilia’s face suggested that she thought I was crazy. Standing up I took my purse and said to them, “Come on, I will prove it to you.”Without waiting for their answer, I left the office and Stella glanced behind my back, I hope they don’t talk to her about what happened inside. I watched through the open elevator doors as they came out of the office eyes filled with tears and passed by Stella. Thankfully, they did not speak with her. “We will follow your car, Tasha.” Michael said getting out of the elevator.Nodding I got in the car and asked Park to drive to the Dominic residence. This was a better idea because then I might get a chance to warn Nathan. He is not going to expect this which makes his reaction almost unimaginable. I don’t want him to be mad at least not after last night.Last night’s memories au
