-ANASTASIA-We went back to the backyard where they were still planning the baptism. “Does anyone want more drinks?” I asked and when they shook their heads I took a seat beside my mother.Even if I didn’t look at him I knew he was staring at me in anger and I think even my mother noticed t, actually everyone could see it. “Is everything okay between you two?” She asked whispering, I simply nodded.“Now that it is decided we also have a surprise for you children.” Michael said standing up. Cecilia took an envelope from her bag and passed it to him which he took and then kissed her cheek. They were still so in love even after these many years.I waited for Michael to say what the surprise was, when I saw Nathan standing up to leave. He shouldn’t go right now and there is literally no excuse for him to make since Helena is already sleeping in her bed. “Nathan where are you going?”

-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-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

-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

-ANASTASIA-‘The future is always the unexpected surprise that universe throws at you. Can anyone of you guarantee that I will see you tomorrow? Or even in the next hour? No because we don’t know if we will be alive. I had a lot of plans for my future, where I will go and what I will do etc. but now that I think of it life is really short and you should make the maximum of it.Maybe that is what the robber when street 19 in yesterday’s newspaper intended to do but in the wrong way. There is never a fast way of making money it is either directly or never. If steal that money then it will never give you the happiness you want. This might be the most boring lecture you ever heard.Let’s go back to the future. If you had decided to buy a cat in June, don’t wait for June there are not going to be summer collections of new cats, you can always go to the nearby pet store and get a cat. Don’t wait for tomorrow because
