I shake my head in denial. Ana would never do something like that. She loves me, she must have wanted

to see me so bad.

“Maxwell hun, calm down please.” Scarlett says in panic beside me. “Ana, Ana she has changed so much,

she told the media that you and her have nothing together.” Scarlett tells me pulling out her phone to show

me something.

There the love of my life is on Tv standing beside Ryan as they both smile lovingly at each other.

“I'm so sorry son.” My father tells me, his hand on my shoulders.

I refuse to believe them at any cost, I must speak to Ana myself. I force myself to say again.

“Call Ana.” I croak again weakly pretty sure that the veins in my face and neck were protruding with how

much effort it took me to speak.

“Ana's no picking up, actually the her husband's family has this celebratory dinner to congratulate them

    Ana’s POV“You are going to speak to Maxwell.” Bianca harshly tells me on the line.“Why would I need to do that?” I ask her, my heart beating harshly.“Because I asked you to Anastasia, screw this up one more time and you know exactly what will happen.”Bianca threatens.Before I was very scared of Bianca's threats then I had gotten over it, putting it off because she was mymother, she only needed to control me to quench her insatiable desire of things always going the exactway she navigated it to go but now, knowing exactly what I think I know. I don't even clearly rememberwhat I heard or maybe in reality I really just want to remain in denial but Bianca is a lot of all thingsnegative so I cannot take her threats for granted anymore knowing that the woman who raised me, thewoman who I thought to be and considered a mother was not really, and she has been using me the entiretime.“Alright.” I simply say and the call goes off.“What is it?” Ryan who is sitting in front of me on

    Ryan liking my words smiles at me. Maxwell's eyes remains focused on mine.“That's why you didn't bother to check up on me at the hospital, not even once?” Maxwell asks me, hiseyes shining with anger.“I didn't think it was necessary to, we would have both gained nothing from it.” I tell him my revisedwords.“You didn't think it was necessary? Do you know how desperately I waited for you to come?” Maxwellthrows at me, I blink before answering.“I knew you were well taken care of and you have Scarlett, don't you?” I definitely did not rehearse thispart.“Are they forcing you into this? If they are you can always tell me.” Maxwell and I refrain from burstinginto a sob and running to hug him like I have desperately wanted to since I saw him today.Ryan's hands tighten on my waist and I shake my head at his question, “No, this is my own personaldecision, I choose to be with the man who can care for me and protect me.” I tell Maxwell and he closeshis eyes at my painful and hurtful w

Is everything okay?” I ask directly watching her every move and her move to the stairs beforegiving me an answer.“N-no dear, I was just waiting for you to have dinner before heading to bed, you have been skipping mymeals lately.” Beatrice tells me.I nod at words in affirmation “Not totally, I haven't really been skipping meals, I told you I do eat at worksometimes before coming home and that's why.” I explain to Beatrice.“Ohh, yes you did.” Beatrice agrees distractedly as she searches for what next to say.“Beatrice as much as I would really like to eat what you made, I'm extremely tired and in need of sleep,just put

Bianca welcomes usinto the house with over excitement.“Oh dear, I'm so glad you could make it.” Bianca tells us and Ryan smiles at her.“We wouldn't miss this for the world, right baby?” Ryan asks me, his arm around me wound up verytightly like he feared I would disappear.I see that Scarlett's parents are here and I dread having to see Maxwell here, especially witnessing him getmarried to someone else.“Let's go say hello to my parents.” Ryan tells me while dragging me across the room.

    When Maxwell refuses to acknowledge me, Scarlett smirks at that and Bianca stares the attention of thecrowd from the awkward and tense air between us all.“Thank you so much for coming sister in law.” Scarlett tells me all teeth exposed out. “You have no ideahow much your presence means to me.” Scarlett says.I know exactly how much how much my presence means to you, I think to myself.“Come on everyone, the couple should go to their various seats.” Bianca says in chorus and the crowdbegins to disperse and everyone returns to their tables.“You do not have to go, you are family.” Scarlett tells me taking a hold of my hand. I breathe deeply toswallow the urge of wanting to throw her hands off me instead.“I'm fine at my table.” I firmly tell her before walking off, not waiting for anyone to be able to stop me.The ceremony kicks off in full, Maxwell barely participates in any of it, aside from the part where heannounces their official engagement and wedding date.

    “Scarlett?” I scoff out in disbelieve, unable to comprehend what exactly my eyes were focused on rightnow.If this is not some telenovelas, I have no idea what else is.The couple in front of me jump away from each other like they just heard a bomb explode somewhere.Ryan looks speechless to find me here and Scarlett looks more than fidgety as she endlessly wrinkles herfingers in front of her, trying to fold herself into Ryan like I haven't just seen all of her.“You fucking bitch.” I say chuckling still in disbelieve. Just when I was beginning to think, she mightmake a good wife for Maxwell atleast something good out of everything filthy that she is.But what shocks me even more is what exactly is the connection between this two and the more I thinkabout it, the angrier I begin to get. If they liked each other that much, why didn't they just stay together,why try so hard to separate Maxwell and I?“Since when?” I ask the two people in front of me. “Don't bother with that anymore

Maxwell looks visiblydisturbed at the sight of her and the sound of her cries.“How could make such huge claims and accusations on my person? Are you really that desperateAnastasia, I apologized to you and really thought that you forgave me already.” Scarlett cries with all herstrength.“I told you I was sorry, why do you still hate me so much, you really will like it if you ruin my life andmarriage right?” Scarlett continues to cry turning to look at Maxwell.“I know I've been a lot of things Maxy, but I've been nothing more than good to you and trying hard to bea better person for you. I know you love her and you will believe her over me no matter what I say.”Scarlett says sniffs hard and in the midst of this drama, I c

    "That's good," I mutter tiredly. Seeing everything fall apart was all I wanted for so long, but now that it's actually happening, I find myself less interested than I expected.Jersey, standing across from me, studies my face carefully. "I think a warrant should be going out for both your mother and stepfather any moment now," she says quietly, her voice carrying a seriousness that matches the situation. "This is big, Ana. Are you okay?"I shrug, unsure how to answer. The truth is, I don't know what I’m feeling anymore. "Yeah, I guess," I say after a moment, trying to convince myself as much as her.Jersey doesn't seem to buy it. She watches me with concern, her brow furrowed. “You sure? It’s okay if you’re not, you know. This is... it’s a lot.”"Yeah," I repeat, softer this time. “I’m fine.”There’s a pause, thick and uncomfortable. Jersey looks like she wants to say something more, but instead, she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I'm going to bed," she announces, and I know sh

    “I would love to come along with you Ana, I don't think I've told you this before but I love to explore, I'vealways wanted to leave the country, relocate somewhere else, besides it's not like I have anything backhere or a family I'll miss. My job is the only thing I have and my job lies with you.” Jersey says chucklingand I let out a sad chuckles of my own.“But what about the business?” Jersey asks and I shrug in answer.“I have no idea but each step at a time, if I do decide to leave, we'll figure it out, together.” I say holdingJersey's hand closely to mine. I cannot possibly explain the relieve and joy that came at her answer, I feltwarm all over. I just needed Beatrice to also agree to come with me, I was not sure I was comfortable withleaving her behind with Ryan. She had motherly affection for Ryan so I would respect whatever decisionshe would make.Another thought immediately crosses my mind and I turn to Jersey with a mischievous smile on my face.“You know, I was also

    Another thought immediately crosses my mind, and I can’t help the mischievous smile that spreads across my face. Jersey notices, raising an eyebrow slightly as I turn toward her. "You know," I begin, "I've been thinking." My voice has a playful lilt to it, though what I’m about to say is anything but a joke. "You’re really good at what you do in the jewelry business. Like, really good. You’ve been doing this longer than I have, and you know more about the inner workings than I ever could."Jersey's expression remains calm, though I can tell she’s wondering where this conversation is heading. She nods, a quiet acknowledgment of the compliment, but it’s clear she’s holding back a response, waiting for me to get to the point."You've taken care of the store long before I ever set foot in it," I continue, "and on top of that, you’ve always been the one looking out for everyone. You care so much about this place and the people in it." I pause, letting the words settle for a moment. “With
