Chapter 7 (Ana's POV)I know what you are thinking.But what was I supposed to do?And I could tell he was speaking from the heart.So yes, I gave him another chance, but I would still tread with caution Sure I still love him, like crazy, but that does not mean I am stupid.Somehow I can feel it in my bones the shit storm is yet to start.For now, though I would focus on our dinner together and every perfect moment we would spend together because let's be honest. Every moment with William was pure and utter perfection.Like the man himself.The conversation was running smoothly as if a day hadn't passed since we were together.We took care of the hard topics so now we could enjoy our time together as we both deserved.Sure people thought since William came from a wealthy family his life was perfect.But I knew everything wasn't as it seemed.His parents never spoiled him, well at least what I knew about his father. E rarely talked about his mother though and somehow it was weird but
Chapter 8 ( Will's POV)I hate family dinners.You might wonder why.Let me explain.My mother was not my mother.Ok, that just sounded wrong.I will rephrase that.The woman I called mother, actually wasn't my mother.Shocking right?Well, I will elaborate before we turn our attention back to the family dinner that is happening in the present.Years ago my mother and brother were in a car accident and supposedly they both died. Looking at what was left of the car there was no chance they could survive.But what was weird though, there was no blood either in the car or around it.So I think you can understand why I was so skeptical about everything the cops told me and my father and at that time.There was another weird thing.It was only a few weeks after we buried 2 empty caskets because we never found any remains of mother or Devin- that was my brother's name.And suddenly there was a woman at our door. She was covered in dirt and blood, which wasn't hers, but she couldn't - or rat
Chapter 9 (Ana's POV)I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!Why?Well, things are finally going as planned.We managed to take off all the paperwork, meetings, long conference calls, etc.And we finally managed to launch our first official commercial on television.We were currently all seated in Becky and Aron's living room.And by all, I mean myself, William, Becky and Aron, Rachel and Mason, and of course Vicky.And for the first time, since we started hanging out together, it was quiet in the house.I know, weird right?Just us four girls should be able to make a huge ruckus.But right now we were too nervous because, in a few minutes, our commercial would play for the first time.The time finally arrived and we watched with held breath.It was perfect. Our main model was, of course, Becky.And I bet you can guess what followed after the commercial was done.Duh!!We started screaming and jumping at the same time.And it was all back to normal.Chatter returned, joking started and we were just
Chapter 10 (Will's POV)I was lost in my thoughts.I have no idea what Margareth's plan was but I was somehow sure it had something to do with me standing up to her and practically telling her to put her engagement with Jasmine up her ass.But what troubled me, even more, was the words Ana spoke."She is not someone you want to mess with."That meant there was more to the woman my father married than the eye met.Right now we were at Ana's house waiting for everyone to gather.We need a plan.As far as I could tell, she never went this far in the past but who knows?In half an hour we were all seated in Ana's living room, including her mother Lizz.Ana was the first to speak and I was grateful for that because right now I was still trying to process everything."Ok. So, guys, we have a situation. Aron, remember when your mother appeared out of nowhere months ago? Well, it seems she never even left London. Not completely. As far as I can tell from what William told me, once she left yo
Chapter 11 (Ana's POV)Well if someone told me just yesterday that my weird estranged psycho aunt had a problem with me I would laugh at them.After all, she barely has any idea who I am.So as I was staring at the note in Will's hands, you can bet I was dumbstruck.This woman has no idea about the kind of woman I am, and never had any interest in it as well, but still, she wants to get rid of me.And the fact that my mother suspected her of having something to do with my father's death was the breaking point for me.What in the ever-loving hell is wrong with this woman?When you take a closer look at all the evidence we discussed a moment ago there's no way to get to any other conclusion than, my aunt is a total psycho.Will was running circles on my back, trying to calm me down and the chatter around me was continuing, but I couldn't hear a word they said.Voices in my head spoke too loud for me to hear anything else.There was only one solution.I didn't like it. To be honest I hat
Chapter 12 (William's POV)Almost a whole week has passed already and I was still nowhere close to a solution.But still, I had no chance of getting out of the family dinner.This week especially, since Jasmine was coming over with her family.And to say I was not looking forward to it was such an understatement that it was laughable.I had no idea why my father even insisted but I had no way around everything.But to my surprise as soon as I arrived at my father's house."Listen, son. I know you think I am old but I am not that old. I know how much you hate these dinners and I am sure you don't want to see Jasmine right now. But I have a weird gut feeling that she is somehow involved in everything. And you know I don't take these feelings lightly. So I think it would be best for my suspicions to get confirmed if we had her here so we could test the waters on our turf if you get what I mean."A chuckle escaped me at his words. The old man had more spunk in him left than he led on to b
Chapter 13 (Ana's POV)It was already the weekend and by tomorrow, William had to make up his mind or come up with a plan.But I was losing any remaining hope, day by day.Sure, everyone was trying to reassure me, but it wasn't working, at least not anymore.And guess what?My fears were once again proven right when later in the day my doorbell rang and Will was standing on the other side with a solemn expression on his face. "Hey, Ana. Can we talk?"Shoot. Looks like it's even more serious than I expected if he was cutting it to the point right away with those famous words.While I loved this man like a lunatic I wouldn't go easy on him.I've told him we needed to break up and just go with the flow but as stubborn as he is, he wouldn't listen. So now he can stand and speak."We can, but we can talk here, you don't have to come inside for whatever we need to talk about."To my surprise all received was a resigned nod from him and that kind of blasted off all my alarm bells."We shoul
Chapter 14 (Will's POV)"Honey, I am home!"Fuck, but I am starting to hate this woman from the bottom of my heart.Like I've said before, once upon a time we were best friends.But then this arranged marriage came and she changed, but since she practically admitted to working with Margareth she became this obnoxiously annoying person in my mind that I could barely stand.And she waltzed into my house like it was hers.In the next moment, she appeared in my home office with a huge grin on her face, as if she won the lottery, while I stared at her with a blank expression."What are you doing in my house, and why didn't you ring the bell as every normal person would?"Well…I tried. But her grin did not slip from her face, instead, it looked as if it stretched even wider."Oh, William don't be so old school. We can live together before we get married you know that. And I was wondering, maybe I could m
