Checkmate

-ANASTASIA-“I think Helena is hungry.” Mrs. Dominic said and that decided it for me. I rushed behind Michael who chuckled at my hurry and closed the door behind him.“I didn’t mean to keep you waiting, Michael.” I said looking at the place that appeared to be a study. There were a few books in a shelf and tons of files making it look like an office. He walked over and leaned on the table while I stood at a distance. Right now all I feel is confusion.“It is okay dear.” He didn’t say anything after for a whole minute not that I am counting. “Do you love my son?”How do I answer this question? The expected and intelligent answer would be ‘yes’ but even if I try I know I won’t be able to bring myself to lie to the old man. “He is my husband so that should answer your question.” It felt like we were in a chess game and we just did our first move. He sta

Jealous and Angry

-ANASTASIA-I gasped at the sudden contact and tilted my head up to see storming chocolate eyes glaring at Peter. “Stay away from my wife, Peter.” He said putting an emphasis on wife. There is a heavy chance that I am reading this situation wrong but is Nathan jealous?“She sure seemed to enjoy my company.” He replied with a smirk. “You sure can’t keep something with you long enough huh?”“Don’t test me.” Nathan warned, if looks could kill Peter would be six feet under by now. “Let’s leave Ana.” But before he could turn us around Peter took hold of my hand again.This is not feeling friendly like before, I tried to remove my hand from his grasp but he had a strong hold. “Don’t forget to get my number from your husband, I am sure we will be great friends in no time.”Nathan growled beside me and pried his hand off me. “Your fianc&ea

A Little Too Harsh

-ANASTASIA-I stood up and pulled my sleeve back up. “It is none of your business. And you really should just accept the fact your father now knows the truth.” Pushing past him I went up the stairs not realizing that I actually didn’t know where my room is; I decided to enter the first room that came into view but before I could I was pulled back by my elbow. “Wh... what is wrong with you?”He is very angry! What have I got myself into? With his other hand he pulled my hair into his fist making my head lean up to face him, I tried to not let out a scream in agony. “I don’t like it when people disobey me and I am fucking paying you to so don’t try to cross me.”Paying? “I don’t want your money, you forced it on me and I am not...” I paused and stared at him with a fierce look. “I am not going to obey you. You are not my boss or parent so get that out of your mind.&rdquo

Hot Chocolate

-ANASTASIA-Maria informed me about Nathan’s trip to Japan and how he is going to be in the office all the day when I helped her in the kitchen. “Anastasia, if you don’t mind can I ask you something?”I gave the lady a kind smile, “sure. You can ask me anything.” She passed the plate to dry and then started on the next plate.“When sir told me that you left the kid here to make him feel responsible I thought it was crazy at first but when I saw him with Helena, it didn’t feel dumb, you know what you did.” Okay Nathan has to stick to the story that he tells everyone or else I am going to have hard time keeping up.“Mmhmh. So what is the question?”She looked troubled to ask me whatever it was. “It is just that you don’t seem attached to the kid. Why?” whoa didn’t expect that.“Uh... I am attached it is just that it has been some ti

Change of Plans

-NATHAN-“Is your brains no longer smart?” Marco asked when I finished telling him that happened in the hall. I didn’t know what to make of what I did today so I have asked my best friend to help me but I have a feeling this is going to be a waste of time.“Do you want me to hang up?” I questioned his question.“No not yet. Bro, do you have feelings for your wife? It is not bad to have them but I will be surprised if you do. Because I can smell the fire of jealousy.” I have loved once and I know that the feeling only hurts; I am not going to make the mistake again.“No I don’t.” I told him but a part of me wanted to disagree yet I silenced him since it was for the best. “Do you have any suggestions? I have a meeting to attend and this talk is not going anywhere.”“I don’t know man... you should do something big.” Saying that he hung up while I

He is Not that Bad

-ANASTASIA-Mmmhmm…. I snuggled closer into the warmth when something hard poked me on the nose. I moved the thing from my face and sighed blissfully. I think this is the best sleep I ever got. But it was getting ruined by the light, I thought I had switched it off before I went to bed.I tried to find the switch of the lamp but all I felt was something soft and fluffy. “Mmm...” I opened my eyes and saw a zipper right next to my face. It could poke my eyes if I moved any closer.“Enjoying yourself there?” a voice whispered huskily, I looked up to meet the rugged cheeks and the chocolate eyes. Was I sleeping on him all this time? That would explain the zipper of his jacket. He removed his jacket and placed it on the side. I jumped back only to hit my head on the ceiling.“Ow!” a throaty chuckle forced me to open my eyes wider and look at the man sitting next to me. Wha... what is he doing in my ro

One room. One bed.

-ANASTASIA-The whole day was spent in talking and eating about everything related to our marriage. Of course Nathan had a little difficulty in differentiating my two identical sisters but he caught on quickly. These were times when I miss Adam but a girl can only wish.Thankfully everyone wanted to play with Helena and so I didn’t have to come up with excuses why I am staying at a distance. Also Abigail had brought in her nanny so all the kids were handled by the sweet lady. It was such a busy household that we didn’t even get the chance to freshen up from the time we came and I am starting get a little uncomfortable in these sweaty top. Somehow mom convinced Nathan to stay for the night so we were only leaving tomorrow morning which made me really happy.“That is such a wonderful story, aw I just can’t think our Tasha found such a good man.” Abigail cooed from the sofa just when I finished narrating our ‘lov

Prodigal Brother

-ANASTASIA-Adam John Monroe. I can’t believe he is standing right in front of me. Looking still the same with the exception of a slightly longer hair and beard. Oh my god it is my brother! I leaped into his arms as he held me tightly. “Adam. Oh my god you are actually here.” For a second I thought I was imagining things.He chuckled running his hand through my hair, “didn’t expect to see you here either, lil’ Ana.” Aw! I missed being calling that. A cough behind me made me stand back on the ground but couldn’t take my eyes of my brother. I dusted the snow from his hair and shoulders trying to ignore the eyes that were digging holes through my back. He broke the silence by glancing at Nathan with a scowl. “You are her husband I presume?”Nathan nodded and put out his hand to shake, Adam reached out hesitantly and then looked back at me. He wiped the stream of tears running down my face

-ANASTASIA-Three days of complete boredom that is how my life has been. It is so boring to the point that I started missing Nathan a bit, if he was there then I can fight with him and spend my time.I bit into the everything bagel that Maria brought from the nearby café and went through my chats. Two more days and I can finally get back to work, Mrs. V already sent me my joining letter which said I get the 9:00 am slot and if I wanted I could even do the 5’o clock one as well.

A Lot More Feelings

-NATHAN-I knew she would sit in the house like I asked her to do. Luckily I had been watching the cameras to see her jump out of the window, she is rebellious! I walked out of the airport and got into the car. “Good evening sir.”“Good evening James. Take me to the mansion.” Jet lag and sleep deprivation isn’t a good combination.“Sir, Do you want me to inform Maria?” no one knew I was back, the meeting and project got over a lot faster than I expected. Giving them a day to prepare helped.“No.” She doesn’t have to get up this late to check on me. 11:45. “James, how long till we get there?”“15 minutes maximum sir.” I nodded and scrolled through my agenda for tomorrow. But a certain red head distracted me, why is she so annoying? All I asked her was to stay inside and it is for her safety as well.She is lucky I found the guy who send the th
