"You are unbelievable!" Anastasia snapped at Darius in frustration. What frustrated her even more is his silence. He wasn't saying any word while she just kept grumbling. His silence was making her feel like a brat who was throwing tantrums like a child which was amusing to her parents.
"Are you even hearing me?" She asked while frowning at him. He smiled at her softly.
"I am." He answered shortly and continued to gaze at her.
"No, you are not! Why aren't you saying anything then?" She scoffed at him.
"Because right now I want to do something else other than talking." He said and suddenly his voice turned huskier, making her nervous in a second. The tables seemed to turn and her frustration turned into nervousness as she saw the look in his eyes.
"Wh… what do… you want to do?" She asked while stammering a little as unconsciously her eyes dropped to his lips. He smirked, notic
TWO MONTHS LATERToday is a busy day for Anastasia. The company is going to throw a big success party. This deal has been going on with a big company for six months.She wasn't here in this company when they signed the contract but she worked on the deal by making designs and helping designers. Darius was quite impressed with her designs. Everyone else complimented her designs too. She was happy.She can't believe it's going to be three months in a few days of her in this company and almost two months of her relationship with Darius Henderson.She still gets chills whenever she thinks about it. Her cheeks turn red and butterflies fly in her stomach making her feel ticklish. From the day when he proposed to her, they have been living together in his suite. That was another story. There was a huge fight and blackmailing from Darius's end which made her agree to that. But she had a series of condition
"What are you doing?! Why are you closing the door? Why did you bring me here in the first place?" Anastasia looked at her with confusion in her eyes.She was going toward the event managing team to see the progress of the work for the party. The party will be held in this building only, at the ballroom that it has. She was walking toward the stairs while making a plan of what she is going to do there and what's going to say.She was lost in her thoughts when someone suddenly caught a hold of her right wrist and pulled her back roughly. She was scared at first but calmed down a little when she saw that it was Darius. But then she frowned at him and asked why he pulled her so roughly, he didn't answer. He just picked her up in bridal style and without any word worked toward his office. That's when she noticed that she was on their floor, which meant Darius took the elevator and waited for her to walk up the stairs to reach the flo
She sat in front of the mirror with a blank look on her face as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. There was no expression on her face as she was lost in thoughts.___"YOU ARE MY FREAKING WIFE! No one else but you, as my wife, knew how much I hated whenever anyone used to look at each other. Don't you remember? I used to be like this even before our marriage?! Do I have to remind you how I bet that boy who tried to kiss you? YOU ARE MINE! MY WIFE! AND I HATE TO SEE YOU WITH ANYONE ELSE. THAT FREAKING SCARES ME!"___Those words kept ringing in her ears like a broken music player. These words were continuously haunting her from yesterday and it was difficult to act like nothing happened.She remembers his every word clearly. She remembers the look on his face when he said those words. She remembers how honest he was looking at that moment. She remembers how much emotions were flowing
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What did we get here? A sizzling boss and secretary romance, huh?" Connor's playful voice broke their eyelock as they both turned to look at him with a small frown.Darius put his hand protectively around Anastasia's waist and pulled her closer to him. She didn't react and let him do that while looking at Connor with a blank face. Darius looked at him with a small glare.Connor's smirk broadened when his eyes landed on Anastasia's waist where Darius was holding her protectively."Aww, man! You could have just simply told me that she was your woman. I would have gladly kept my eyes off here. What was the necessity of creating that scene back then?" Connor asked with a small chuckle, making Darius fist his hand tightly in a ball after hearing him."You should keep your eyes off every woman present in the world! That would have stopped everything happening back then." Darius snapped at him angr
"It's been so long. Where is she? Why didn't she come back yet?" Darius asked himself while looking around with worried expressions.Anastasia left almost twenty minutes ago and hasn't returned yet. At first he thought, it's okay to be late. After all, it's a new place. But now it's too late and she isn't returning yet, it's making him worried.All the bad thoughts kept coming to him but he just kept being positive. He remembers how every man in the room was looking at her from the time they entered. Is someone trying to do something with her while he is enjoying a drink here?!His blood boiled at the thought. No! No one would dare to do that to her! Everyone here knows him and they know what he can do if someone messes with him. He has already marked his territory on her today, the moment they came here.But still if someone dares to touch her or do something to her, he swear
"Anastasia… got kidnapped." He said in a breathless tone and there was a pin drop silent for a second before Selena lost the strength on her legs and was going to fall down.Luckily Noah was close to her and was quick to hold her by her waist before she could drop on the ground and hurt herself."Selena! Be strong! Please! Be strong!" Noah said while taking her in his arms and made her sit down on the couch. She let out a small humourless chuckle, her face was blank, void of any emotions."I… I… must have heard him wrong, right? Anastasia is fine, right? She is… sleeping in the suite. Why did you leave her alone there?! Do you know that she gets nightmares?! She is going to be so scared! I have to go to her! If she has a nightmare, only I can handle her. Oh god! How stupid you are to leave her there alone! Noah, can you please take me to her. I have to be with her." Selena kept blabbering while not giving anyone any chan
"You all must have a lot of questions, right? About how I know her? How am I connected to her? Why am I reacting like this? How do I know that man? So many questions, right?" Selena asked in a small tone while looking at distance with a blank look.Everyone just exchanged worried looks but didn't interfere in her talk. She let out a humourless laugh after a few seconds, confusing everyone more than necessary."You all will be shocked to know that I don't know her recently, three years ago, five years ago or ten years ago. I have known her since she was five and we were six." She said with a sad smile as tears kept rolling down her eyes without any break. She didn't even try to wipe them and let them fall freely."We?" Noah asked in a low tone while looking at her with a small frown. She looked at him with a smile of agony and he felt like it was a stab at his stomach."Me and my identical twin sist
"So, what was I saying?" Richard asked."Something about my past." She reminded him and he smirked."Right. So, are you excited to know about your past?" He asked with a smirk. She didn't say anything, just kept quiet. But that seemed to anger the psychopath as he landed another slap on her cheeks. She gritted her teeth as she could test blood inside her mouth. That bastard just busted her lips! "Answer me when I ask something. You seem to forget all your manners in this three years, huh?" He shouted at her face.She wanted to shout at him in the face and say that she has changed. She wanted to let him know that she wasn't the meek Anastasia whom he used to torment anymore. She has changed and changed for the better. She is now capable of fighting for herself. She is now capable of protecting herself.But she can't say that. It's going to ruin everything for her. It's going to ruin everything that
