***
Ana walked toward the door while holding a package of Belgian chocolate for her best friend. She thought meeting Galina would help her mood a bit. She had been asking her how she was feeling ever since she returned back from the trip with Anton. They had done several video calls before just to check up on each other. Ana also needed to meet her in person to check how she actually was after that rather traumatizing event.
When she was about to enter, a guard walked up to her and asked her who she was and what her business was. Ana was about to explain herself when the door was opened and Galina went up to hug her. It was the first time they had hugged in weeks. It felt good to finally meet each other in flesh. Galina turned to the guard and told him she was a good friend of hers and he could just leave, which he did though a bit reluctantly.

Grigory knew she was still at a vulnerable point in her life and had paid closer attention to her these past few days, so were her brothers who felt sorry for her. Every men in her household had grown quite overprotective toward her and if she did not arrive home by the evening they would definitely be worried.She had to bid goodbye to Galina who felt a bit sad that she had to go home so soon. She had wished to spend more time with her, but she also understood her current circumstance and did not wish to trouble her further.

"Survival is the ability to swim in strange water."-Frank Herbert-***There was a bit of silence inside the car before Ana started a conversation after she had stabilized herself a bit. She was not supposed to be surprised when she heard that, because he did have a military past and if her father recruited her to be a bodyguard it must mean he was working straight from the field. Lots of things could happen in places like that so it only made sense, but it was still weird that people could kill others without any consequence, although in this case, it was an act of self-defense.“Is there anything else that I am supposed to know about you, Alexander? I think I don’t know much about you after all.” Alexander could not help but grin upon that question, of course there were many things she did not know about him and he did not think it was that important for her to know considering that he had spent more time wit

"Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it's the place where we find the deepest heartache."-Iyanla Vanzant-***Anton had not met Ana in forever and he was starting to become really anxious, it was difficult for him to really concentrate on anything else. His life prior to meeting her was really perfect, scheduled and balanced, it was much easier for him to get anything he wanted, but ever since he knew her he felt like his life had turned upside down in terms of sanity. He was in his office trying to distract himself with work but for some reason it was very difficult for him to finish even the simplest task without drinking any pills to calm himself down. It was possibly one of the strangest thing he had ever experienced, he knew he was not obsessed. His feelings for her was not quite an obsession because clearly he was still alive without her.If he could define it, it was more like a yearning to possess, he co

"The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again."-Alan Paton-***Ana found herself unable to sleep that night because she had this gut feeling that was telling her that something was not right and she was a very intuitive person, therefore she would usually listen to her intuition and at the moment her intuition was telling her not to sleep because something bad was about to happen and she could sense it in the pit of her stomach.She sat on the edge of her bed and prayed to God, asking Him for guidance on what she was supposed to do next while holding the bible when suddenly she got this rush from nowhere to call Alexander. Something in her kept on telling her to call Alexander at 11 PM and she did not even have any idea if he was still awake but she listened to the voice and did it anyway.Fortunately, it turned out he was still awake and he asked her if there was anything wr

She battled it so hard because at the moment she really did not wish to wake up. The memory of what happened returned to her in her dream. Deep down she still did not want to accept the death of her father. She was crying and grunting in her sleep, her whole body quivered against the blanket, she was restless yet her eyes remained closed. The sounds of her grunts was so loud that Alexander who was still outside could hear her and he quickly rushed into the room to wake her up. He held her hand and pulled her in to hug her. Hushing her gently and reminded her that everything would be okay.She snapped out of her nightmare to find Alexander’s eyes staring at her as his arms wrapped protectively around her body. She looked up to him and did no

She slowly walked over to her parent’s graves and gently placed the bouquet on top of the tomb. When Grigory was murdered he was buried right beside his wife whom he loved so much so the two of them could keep each other company even in death. She found it quite touching and to this day, Ana still regretted the fact she could not be there during his burial, which was why every few months she would come and visit their graves and laid a bouquet of fresh roses in their memory while pouring her heart to them, knowing they were probably listening to it.That afternoon was no exception. She knelt down and touched her parent’s tomb

She was scared but Alexander comforted her, saying that everything would be just fine. Ivan was speechless as he saw Anton corpse laying cold on the ground.“Alexander, did you just take these men out yourself?” Ivan asked.

She was still in a deep sleep when she felt him shaking her body with a noticeable force before actually opening her eyes. She always hated one of those scenarios where she did not wake up naturally but instead had someone to wake her up, forcibly and so early. She was still in a daze but the stern expression on Alexander’s face meant something serious was actually happening and she knew it was not the time to be sleeping. She had asked him what was wrong and Alexander seemed upset to even have to announce the news but they had no time to waste.“Listen carefully Ana, Anton has found out your location and he is planning to come here soon with his men.
