Late
-ANASTASIA-
Sunlight! I usually like sunlight but not when it is waking me up from a very comforting sleep. Opening my eyes I tried to turn around but the weight around me held me in my place. What weight? Looking down I saw Nathan’s bare arm around me in a metal grip reminding me of all the events of last night.
I really had to pee and his hold was not making it easy for me. Oh shit! Why is there such bright sunlight already? Straining my eyes I read the time on the clock, 10:00am! No… with my free hand I took the phone from the nightstand.
5 missed calls from Cain and numerous messages from Mrs. V and Priya as well as Cain. Two missed alarms and the baby monitor was silent as well. Oh god, Helena might be already awake and hungry. With some pressure I turned around, now facing Nathan.
The pillows that I had placed as boundary the previous night were now strewn around the bed and one of them was on the floor. Nathan looked s

-ANASTASIA-Gasping I turned sideways to see Nathan leaning on the side of the wall of my desk with a hand in his pocket. The blazer of his three piece suit hung on his arm and his hair was all messy and ruffled as if he thought over a lot before showing up here.Even though I was hungry I pushed the packet aside and got back to the article I was writing, I am mad at him no matter how hot he looks or how bringing dinner for me is caring. “Are you seriously going to ignore me?”I nodded and typed a few more lines but reading it again I realized it didn’t even make sense, his presence is messing with my brain. I saved the file and looked at him, “What are you doing here?” He pointed at the dinner making me sigh. “You made me work this late and now you are pretending to care... I really don’t get you Nathan.”He pulled Cain’s chair and sat in front of me before folding his suit neatly and
The Inflammable Secret Suspicious Friend
-ANASTASIA-Imagine my surprise to wake up next Nathan once again, this is now the fourth time. I am not complaining but it would be nice if I knew that he was going to be there when I open my eyes in the morning. Today I am not even going to ask him because his answer as usual will be that he likes sleeping with me.One might think he is getting closer to me but throughout the day he just ignores me completely and stays most of the day in his office.“Is it weird that I want to hack into Nathan’s email and messages?” I asked Priya sipping my coffee.She choked on the coffee for a second then looked at Cain who seemed amused by my question. “I won’t call it weird but I do think it is the jealous wife in you.” Cain said with a smirk.“See I knew you would say something like this which is exactly why I asked Priya.” I said putting my tongue out at him. “Also ex-wife. I don’t
The Inflammable Secret Hacking
-ANASTASIA-“You are finally ready.” I whispered once I strapped Helena’s shoes. I took a step back and looked at her in admiration, she looked amazing and beautiful in her white dress with a fluffy skirt. “Oh my god I might actually cry. Priya wasn’t joking.”I wiped some nonexistent tears and fixed a tiny crinkle in her dress. “Baby you look like an angel.” Nathan said from behind me, he had again entered my room without knocking. I turned around and saw the pride in his eyes but there was also a hint of sadness.“Are you okay?”He raised his brow. “I am fine... I was just thinking that in a few years she will be wearing a white dress again for her wedding.” Aww! Someone is a softy. I pressed my lips together to prevent smiling and simply nodded. “When are you getting ready? We have to leave in five minutes. Please don’t tell me that you are going to mak
The Inflammable Secret Convincing her
-NATHAN-I just hope Anastasia stays near Marco the entire time, her father continued to play with Helena as her mom gushed about today’s event. “I am so happy that you both are going to that honeymoon, you really need the break.”That caught my attention. “We are?” I don’t remember agreeing, I don’t even think we took the tickets from pops.She nodded eagerly, “Yes, after you stormed off Tasha took the tickets and said you were going, you are, right?”Going away would keep Anastasia safe for a few days at least till I figure out who sent the email and then we can come back. But if she agreed does that mean she is staying? “We are going.”“Great, I can ensure you Helena will enjoy Chicago.” A frown appeared on my face. “Your parents will have her over after one week.”Okay again why are these people taking decisions for us? And how long

Because if anyone has to worry it should be me since the threat is directed at me Nathan.”“Let’s get out of here first.”I shook my head and stopped him from leaving. “No, we are going to finish this conversation.” I wanted to know if he had any clue on who it was but also I will have to tell him that I hacked into his email. I think I might get in trouble for that.“First of all you shouldn’t have hacked into my account. I have told you many times to stay away from my things.” He said his jaw still clenched. I flushed in embarrassment on getting caught, how did he know it was me? “Did you really think that I want find out? I knew you would go snooping around the moment I saw you walk away from the church soon followed by

The Inflammable Secret Waking Up
-ANASTASIA-I felt something soft on my face almost tickling me in my face. I opened my eyes, or well tried to open my quickly but ended up wincing as my head started to hurt like someone was hammering it from the inside. “Ana?” a husky voice reached me, I knew that voice wait that is Nathan’s voice.Did he get back from the office already? When did I even fall asleep? Then as if a ton of bricks fell from the top of a wall, I remembered coming back home, Maria hurrying for what? Someone’s birthday. Isn’t Helena’s milk boiling on the stove? The fire! “Helena...” The name slipped out of my mouth in a hoarse whisper. “Is she... uh okay?” I know Nathan is beside me from his voice earlier.“She is fine, just a little puffy from all the crying but you can see her if you open your eyes.” Why is his voice so loud? Does he have to scream even when he is near me? I not deaf!

Where will I make them?”And I called these two, in the hopes of getting some sort of help but they have been messing around from the time they arrived. Sighing Priya stood up, “Fine, you can go get Helena’s stuff, we will start packing yours.”“Thank you.” We hurried in three directions. Cain went to make sure Helena wasn’t alone and she had a knack of being fussy exactly when there isn’t time. I went into her room and opened her mini trolley.What am I supposed to pack for Helena? Clothes. I neatly folded a bunch of her onesie and a few dresses. I put in her favorite milk bottle and some of her beloved toys. Within half a
