-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. I didn’t decide if I wanted to go that early for now I am going to take it slow.Today is New Year’s Eve and according to the extravaganza spying and touring of this mansion I might have come up with a mastermind plan to sneak out today night. Priya, Josh and Cain will be waiting for me in our usual bar all I have to do is show up.If you are wondering whether I talked to Nathan these days, then my answer is no. he calls every day at least
-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
-ANASTASIA-This is the first time I am attending a rich party, one hosted by my husband himself. “Anastasia, James will take you and Helena to the party.” Maria told me when I came down to go. She gasped when she saw me making me blush. “Aww you look beautiful, Mr. Dominic will be shocked.”“I don’t think so but thank you Maria.” Smiling she nodded and went inside asking me to wait for a minute. The bag with the baby essentials were already in the car and even Helena was strapped to the car seat, I am excited to see her. I was told by the stylists that came today that Helena will be wearing something that matches my outfit.I don’t know why Nathan thinks a baby needs a stylist and even I didn’t but then I saw the work they had done to make me feel beautiful, I don’t think I will complain. Maria came out of her room with a gift in her hand.She held it out for me. “Is that
-ANASTASIA-“Yeah. What were you saying again?” I asked him with a fake smile. I had to know if Dave is here tonight but I can’t ask Nathan upfront.The guy chuckled and said, “Didn’t say anything important. Would you like to dance?” is Nathan’s friend hitting on me? Anyway I am bored and sitting here fidgeting whether Dave is here or not isn’t going to get me anywhere.“Sure.” I gave Marco my hand and he led us to where all the other couples were dancing. He kept his hand on my waist making me giggle. “I guess I have to keep mine now.” I placed mine on his shoulder and we swayed to the music.“So…. How come my friend never spoken about you?” see, times like these I am clueless on what to tell the other person especially when Nathan keeps telling different versions to everyone.“I don’t know, actually I didn’t know you eithe
-ANASTASIA-‘Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.’ Joan Crawford stated that some time ago. Joan probably has had the experience of warming and burning to comment like that.I believe that if you love someone any day of the year is perfect for expressing it, why do you have to allot a specific day for it. But then again this day gives many of us, shy ones the chance to let the person we have a crush on to know how we feel. I haven’t felt like that ever in my life. Celebrity crushes are one thing but real life is different.To be honest my love life is boring and I haven’t found my one yet. Love happens on its own which excites me in not knowing when and where it is going to happen. Am I going to find it next door? Or maybe in my roommate? My best friend? Time will only tell and I will let you guys know when I do fall in love. Until then Happy Valenti
-ANASTASIA-Now remember when I said I shrieked louder than Helena I did forget to mention that it all happened in my head because I have to be cool. I don’t care what he does in his spare time. Who am I kidding?Oh shit! I am still gaping at them. And them at me. “Anastasia, it is not what you think.” Nathan said pushing Lara the model off his lips. I can deal with him later but it is this bimbo I have to get rid of.“Whoever you are I don’t care. Just get the f-u-c-k out.” I can’t curse in front of the baby. She looked at me confused and then saw the baby in the stroller.She pulled the sleeves of her dress up and came near Helena, “Aww. Baby boo your son is handsome.” Son? I glanced at her and then at Nathan with a look that said, ‘Really?’ he came near to us and pulled her up.“Helena is a girl. Lara leave before I call the security.” He said in his a
-ANASTASIA-It has become a routine for me to take Helena with me to work in the mornings and sometimes Nathan takes the responsibility for the afternoon. I sauntered into the café near Nathan’s office to the girl taking the order. This place is far from where I work but I love the coffee here even it makes me take the longer distance.I read the nametag of the girl, Fiona. “Good morning.”She reciprocated my smile with hers... “What would you like to have?”“An espresso and blueberry muffin.” I couldn’t order anything for Helena since I didn’t know if Nathan would approve of me giving her milk from a café, he is very particular about the milk we give her. “Oh could I get some hot water for my baby’s milk?” She nodded and typed in the bill.I paid her and took a seat tugging Helena’s stroller to the front of me. She is asleep but when she wa
-ANASTASIA-The smell of dinner made me smile. I don’t think I have cooked this hard for anyone until now and that too just so that he isn’t mad at me. James had dropped Helena off an hour ago and she has already had her bath and milk after which she is soundly asleep.James said that Nathan will be home a little after eight which should be any minute now. Did I just mention this huge damn house a home? A little gasp left my mouth… yeah I can see why I would call this a home? The very comfy living room is my go to place and I like taking care of this place. Cleaning and doing the dishes doesn’t bother me.I have Helena to keep me company and Nathan... well he is... he is Nathan Dominic. Arrogant ever silent hot dominating man. Yes that is exactly how I describe him. Word to word. The bell rung twice before I reached it after removing my apron and placing it on the kitchen counter.I should better start speaking be
