Anastasia POV: I am really stressed about the shipping of gemstones and diamonds. I don't get why these people have to give me such a hard time about literally every little thing. Every big step which I have taken for my company, it was never easy and I don't expect it to be easier in the future either but I really hope I won't give up. I sighed and took a bite of my food while I had dinner with Ryan. Most importantly, I am not telling him about this. It is just too much to ask for his help every single time. "Is everything fine?" He asked me. "Yeah, why?" I forced a smile and tried to sound normal to him. "You have been sighing almost the entire night and you are unusually quiet today." He justified his concern and I could only curse myself for behaving this way with him. "How's work?" He suddenly inquired and I was surprised to see how quickly he got to the point. I cleared my throat and wryly glanced at him, "It is fine. I am just way too busy with the designs these days
Anastasia POV: "At what time do you have to go to the hospital?" Ryan asked me while wearing his wrist watch and I brushed my hair. I was feeling lazy today, so I simply let them open. "At 5. I asked Dr. Crystal for a favor because I don't have any free time before that." I explained it to him. He nodded slightly and adjusted the strand of hair which fell from the volume of his hair and bothered his eyes. "Okay, I will pick you up at 4." He instantly said to me, I seriously don't have to say anything twice to him. "I will wait." I smiled and grabbed my bag from the table. We were getting late from work. So, I walked ahead thinking that he would follow me but I stopped in my tracks and turned on my heels to look at him. "What?" I asked. He had his arms folded across his chest and his gaze was heated. "Aren't you forgetting something?" One of his brows lifted up. I tried to think of what I am forgetting but nothing came to my mind. I shook my head because I was confused. He sud
Anastasia POV: I was dead tired after I returned home from work but Ryan wasn't back yet. He called me to inform me that he had an important meeting to attend. So, he is going to be late and I shouldn't wait for him at dinner. However, I couldn't tell him that I don't like to eat alone. I took off my makeup and took a warm and long shower. I dried my hair with the blow dryer thinking that I am alone and he isn't going to be back anytime soon... so, instead of dressing up in my pj's, I covered myself with only a bra and panties. Deep down, I envy him sleeping naked in bed every night and I can't do that as I still feel shy in front of him. I wore a plain, silk black nightgown on the top of it and went to the kitchen. Martha had already prepared dinner for us and put it in the fridge. Although I don't like to eat alone and I wouldn't have eaten if it wasn't for the baby. My stomach growled at the delicious smell of roasted chicken and the vegetables. I put the food in the microwav
Anastasia POV: I woke up satisfied. Last night was hot and erotic. His long and thick fingers made me see stars. I touched the space beside me but it was cold. He must have already gotten up. I forced my eyes to open and looked around, only to find him sitting at the single seater in our room, his gaze plastered on me and the corner of his lips slightly raised up. The man was amused. I really need a drink. My lips pursed into a thin line and I sat up. "Good morning." I said to him in a half sleepy voice. "How are you doing?" He got up, flaunting his perfectly sculpted body and the ripped muscles. "Never been better." I blurted. Ryan instantly turned around to look at me. I bit my lip so hard that I tasted blood in my mouth and then, his melodious chuckle resonated in the air. I hid my face in my palms, my face was burning and there was no way I could tolerate his intense stares on myself. "You have disappointed me greatly." I heard the ruffling of the things along with his
Anastasia POV: I have been really concerned about this whole event because the connection which I am feeling with my brand is too clear to ignore. All the while, Ryan didn't let go of my hand. I believe that he can feel the tension in my body. The little crease on my cheeks and knuckles from time to time was everything which I needed to take my mind off the work. The moment the event ended, I wanted to leave, "Shall we go?" I tilted my head in his direction and said. "Sure." He smiled brightly and gave a slight nod. "Hey Anastasia, are you leaving? I want you to join us for the after party." Sandra said to me from behind. I shut my eyes and tried my best to appear normal, although I was on the verge of losing my mind. "We would love to. But my wife is pregnant and she needs rest." I heard Ryan's clear voice. I glanced at him gratefully, only to have his grip on my hand tightening. "Oh." Her mouth turned into a big, round O. She put the glass of champagne back on the table
Anastasia POV: My whole body felt stiff. I wonder if this is because of the heated s*x session between us or the pregnancy. "Hey, beautiful. Are you doing okay?" He rested his hand under the chin and watched me intrigued. I smiled and gave him a nod. His hand went under the covers to rub my belly, making me turn towards him. "I hope I didn't hurt the baby." He sounded concerned. "You didn't." My heart melted at his gentleness. Ryan leaned down to kiss my forehead. "Do you want me to help you take a shower?" "No, I can." I got up. I like him being rough with me and then gentle. Although he was trying his best not to drain my energy. I took a shower and had breakfast with him. Since it was Sunday, Ryan intended on working from home while I was already done with the drafts for the collection which I will be launching soon. However, my head is still filled with plenty of ideas for the upcoming projects but it doesn't hurt to take a day off, right? Before, I would indulge myself int
Xavier POV:The ringing doorbell made me cause my brows to dip in confusion. There is no way it is Ana and I wasn't expecting any guests either. With a puzzled mind, I went to open the door, just to find Zayn standing there.Upon seeing me, he waved his hand. "What are you doing here?" I immediately asked."Hello to you too, brother." He grinned as he said. I stepped out of the way and let him come in. "Mom sent me. She gave, I guess, supplements for Ana." He placed the bag on the counter and turned towards me. "I hope I am not spoiling the weekend of the newlyweds." He leaned back on the counter and crossed his legs in a way that one of his ankles was resting against the other."She is not home." I plainly said. "Ohh." His mouth turned into an O. "For whom did she ditch you on a Sunday?" He cocked a brow and I really want to get rid of that smugness on his face. I rolled my eyes at him and whipped a cup of coffee. "She went with Beth." I don't know why I needed to tell him all thes
Anastasia POV:I was working in my office, when Samuel came to see me. "Miss. Logan, I got good news."Samuel said, he was smiling ear to ear. Furthermore, Samuel is the only person who still calls me Miss. Logan, otherwise my title changed instantly after getting married with Ryan from Miss. Logan to Mrs. Weaver. To be honest, I like when he calls me by my real name. It reminds me of the part of myself which I don't want to lose after being with the biggest tycoon in the country. "What is it?" My eyes lit up. Everything has been getting quite boring. Beth is still mad at me for coming up with the craziest idea, my back is aching really bad while we haven't been able to come up with the solution which we are facing regarding the production. "The merchants have agreed to see you." He reported."Oh my God, really?" I got up from my seat and before I could hop in my place, my eyes flickered to my belly and I stopped. However, I gave Samuel a high five instead. "This is great. I really,
