The burial ceremony for Lucas was performed in the evening. Alex had bought the land for his father-in-law, where he could rest in peace. Many people came to give their prayers and condolences to the Spanos family. Even Alex's parents came when he informed them.
Soon, the people left, however, Anastasia and Alex stayed behind. Katherine had to leave because of urgent work. She told Alex to keep informing her.
The sky started to turn dark and it thundered. The clouds had gathered in the sky. "Let's go back," Alex told Anastasia, since rain was going to pour soon. But Anastasia did not answer him. Like a lifeless body, she blankly stared at the grave of his father. Tears were streaming down her cheek.
Suddenly the rain started to pour. "Ana, let's go back," Alex again urged her. His tone was soft.
The maid knocked at the door. "Come in!" Alex told her. "Give it to me." He stood up and took the tray from him. The maid walked out, closing the door behind her. Alex put the tray on the mattress. He then pulled Anastasia up such that her head rested on his lap. Stirring the soup, he picked it in the spoon and blew air over it. He opened Ana's mouth and made her drink the soup. After fifteen minutes, the soup finished and he put the spoon on the tray. He had already taken out the medicine and pushed it inside Anastasia's mouth. Making her drink the water, he caressed her back. Alex stood up from the bed and put the tray on the sofa table. He then thought to give a towel bath to Anastasia as it would relieve her and the temperature would also come down quickly. Bringing the lukewarm water in a b
"I do not know. It's up to you. Ask yourself if you trust me or not," stated Alex. Anastasia hummed and withdrew from the hug. She wiped her eyes and cheeks too. "It feels like I am still in a bad dream that I was not supposed to," Anastasia said while sighing. "Stay in bed and take plenty of rest. At the present moment, you can only do this," asserted Alex. He brought his palm to her forehead. "Last night, you were burning with a fever." Ana looked at her clothes and found she was wearing completely different clothes from the one she had put on yesterday. "Whose clothes are these?" Ana asked Alex, who passed a tiny smile to her. "Mine," he replied. "Did you change my clothes?" She questione
"Fine. Let's divorce and pay the debts through transfer. Don't ever show me your face," Alex affirmed and picked his phone from the bedside table. He dialed Stavros' number, who answered the call in a few rings. "Prepare the divorce papers for Anastasia and me," Alex hung up the call and turned to look at her. "You can go back to Stephen!" Alex stated. Anastasia did not meet his gaze. "You don't need to tell me," she asserted. "You bought the land for my father's burial ceremony. How much did that cost? I will pay you," Anastasia asked him. Alex chuckled because now, she was turning meaner. "That's what I wanted to do. I won't accept that money," Alex affirmed. "You should worry about the rest of the debt which is much higher,"
***** Ch Anastasia called Stavros and asked him if she could sign the divorce papers earlier than the decided time. "Why?" Stavros asked the reason for it. "I don't want to see his face," Anastasia replied. "We both agreed for this divorce, so there should not be any problem if I sign earlier," she opined. "It is a legal procedure. Both parties will be seated in front of each other," Stavros answered. "Also, I would like to say something to you," he said. "Hmm?" "He likes you, Anastasia
ONE YEAR LATER: "Roman, how can you say that the designs are not ready? It has been a week," Stavros shouted at the man, who was on the other side of the phone. He then lowered his voice as he realized that he was in the office. "Stav, I had told you that I am on a week's holiday with my girlfriend," Roman said and spread his legs out on the sofa. "You had also told me that you would take out the time and send me the designs. Also, it's the second day of the second week. Do you expect me to believe your lies!?" Stavros was furious at him. "Calm down, Man! Tell Alex to wait one more week. We are friends. Chill! He will understand me," Roman said and picked the cola can. "Are yo
Alex signed on the file while reading it carefully. The phone on the table rang and he lifted his eyes to look at it.'ONE WHO SHOULD BE AVOIDED!"It flashed on the screen. He ignored the call and kept doing his work. When the phone did not stop buzzing, he answered it."Why did you not answer my call?" Rose asked from the other side."Unlike you, I am not free," Alex replied coldly."Can you not talk to me with a gentle tone?" She was dejected. "We will engage this week and still you act so cold towards me," she complained."Why do you think that I will get engaged to you? Also, two days ago our families decided on it," Rose told him."Well, I am not engaging with you. Don't waste your time on me, Rose. Also, for God's sake, do not call me," Alex said with annoyance."Do you still think about her?" Alex's facial expressions changed when Rose asked him that question. "She is dead. Will you move ahead out of that

As Alex took the seat on the padded sofa, he wished his mother, whose forehead frowned. "Happy Birthday, Dear Mother." This line was not less than a taunt for Penelope. She looked at her son, who was looking no less than a drunkard. His shirt was inside while the other half was outside his pants; his hair was disheveled and he was stinking badly. Stavros thought to handle the matter. "Sir, the CEO was busy in an important meeting with our Italian client. He ended up taking a few shots," Stavros lied to them. "Stav, don't tell a lie," Alex said with a smile and then looked into the eyes of his mother, "She doesn't care if I tell her truth or tell a lie. Did you enjoy the day with your friend group? What rare gifts did they give you?"
