ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
** phone rings **
Hello sissy~
Someone : Congratulations my little hunny bear~
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
I told you not to call me that anymore.. I'm not little * pouts*
Someone : You'll always be little in my eyes darling... Are you heading back to the hotel?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Hmm.. I am tired. Have you had your meals?
Someone : Not yet. I will now. I had to attend a lot of meetings today so I'm tired. I'm on my way home.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Call me when you reach home okay?
Someone : Okay I'm gonna miss you bye~
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Byee~
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
We are here Ana..
She looked at her best friend who was sitting with her all this while. She's her best friend plus manager. They got off the car and checked into the hotel. After finishing the formalities they got into the elevator.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
We still have two days... Do you plan on exploring Sicily?
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
No absolutely not!
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
* startled* Why not?
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Look at that pretty face Hunny bear~ What if bad guys take a liking on you.. or what if you run into a problem or what if you run into those guys!?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Why are you being so jumpy? We are not in a war zone..
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Ana, you might not be aware but this is Sicily... I'm afraid of the people of here...
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
People? * laughs* Why? Are Italian people angry in nature?
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
No they are violent and very very dangerous! I'm talking about the mafia syndicate!
It's all over the news. They are very cruel and do illegal stuff. Trust me I've read it!
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
You shouldn't talk like that about people. After all we are also human beings like them.
Also I think you are spending wayyy too much time reading dark romance these days. Try to face the reality Candy.
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Are you sympathizing with them?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
No I am not. I am just telling you to not judge people with their professions, alright?
I am a singer. If you judge me from outside you can say that I am a gold digger. Which I am not. So let's not speak ill of people alright Candy?
She sighed in defeat. Anastasia's voice is always soft and low. She's very polite and sees the world with a much different eyes than others.
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Alright. Let's head out tomorrow morning. But only after I cover you up perfectly.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Hoodies, masks and sunglasses. These are my daily life what's new?
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Come on don't be upset...
The elevator door opened at the 79th floor and they got off together.
They both were busy talking to each other that they didn't notice someone else was listening to their conversation all this while. They were not alone in the elevator after all...
RHYS DE'COSTA [ML]
**smirks**
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
* drinks the whole glass in one go*
A man tossed another glass towards her and she snapped out of her thoughts
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Did you poison it old enemy?
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Nah~ I'm not that cheap. I thought you would've learned that by now.
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
If this is some more of your disgusting flirty tricks then please leave before I punch your face.
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Why is the The Valerie Mormont so angry today?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
None of your fúcking business.
She was about to drink another glass but he stopped her in the middle and snatched her glass away.
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Did you drive here?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Yes! Now give me back my glass
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
You are in no state of driving back. Come with me~
She kept struggling but he somehow persuaded her to get in his car. She was so drunk that she slept right away.
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
* sighs* This girl.. * pulls the seat belt on*
Seeing her sleeping figure he was mesmerized once again. some of her hair strands were on her face.. he slowly took the initiative to adjust her hair behind her ears.
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
When will you forgive me love? I'm still waiting for the day you will forgive me...
* mumbles*
~Samuel and Rhys De'costa~

The birthday
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
* uncovers eyes*
The ringing sound of her phone finally made her wake up from bed and rummage her bag that was on the side table
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Hello?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Sissy? Where are you? Why won't you answer your phone?
She snapped out of the daze and checked the called ID. She never takes her sister's calls lightly.
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
I'm so sorry hunny bear. I had forgotten to check the time.
Suddenly realization hit her head. She was standing nàked! Her torn dress along with her lingerie was lying on the floor all over the place.
She looked around with widened eyes. Last night was a total blackout and she didn't remember anything at all.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Are you okay? Your voice sounds different..
She stood in front of the mirror discovering herself completely messed up.. all over her body was filled with bite marks
Her legs were wobbling.. suddenly she heard a door clacking sound... she quickly grabbed a lamp from the side table and stood steady
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Hunny bear... can I call you in a while?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Yeah sure..get up and have something warm..
She hung up and kept her phone down whole facing the bathroom door with the lamp in her hands ..
The door opened and BULLSEYE! She hit the guys head with the lamp with all the force she had.
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
AHHHH!! What have you done you bàstard!?
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Ouch! * groans* Vale what the fúck!?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
YOU...!???
She dropped the lamp and strode to the other end of the room... she collected her remaining clothes and somehow covered herself
he was caressing the spot on his forehead where she hit and walked near her...
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
What was that for!?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Be glad I didn't burst your bubble with my fist!
She hurriedly dialed the number of her secretary and asked for a set of clothes quickly
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
What have I done!? That too with this dirty àss bàstard.. * chattering to herself*
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Vale.. stop and listen to me.. * pulls her hand*
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
What the.... let.. let go of me! Let go of me right now!!
Samuel pulled her arm and hugged her tightly with his chest ... her back was facing him but he could already see the anger
She was trying her best to be free of his "Disgustingly touchy grip"
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Leave me right now or I swear I'll cut off your díck!
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Darling you are going to orphan our kids?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Kids!? What the fúck...
He pushed her on the bed and pinned her hands with something nearby...She glared at him with rage and hatred but he simply smirked lightly
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
You don't remember what you did last night?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
H..hey .. HEY! DON'T LAUGH LIKE THAT!
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
The company has allotted you permission for hosting your birthday party independently this year... hunny bear!
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Really? Then we must start the plannings and everything...
My birthday is in a week.. there's no time. Okay Candy you book the hall in this hotel and I will handle the guest lists
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Sure.. I will ask for other assistance as well... you just focus on your preparations
She was overjoyed because it was the first time she was about to hold a party for herself and that too independently
She immediately called her sister but her phone was busy... it's not an uncommon thing... she was one of the most famous business persons of Spain after all
That morning when Anastasia woke up she heard a door bell of her hotel room...
She took her sweater and wore it before checking who it was. Upon opening the door she found a huge bouquet of flowers
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
* pick them up*
Those were white roses.. her favourite flowers. She inhaled the scent for a while then looked both directions for anyone
but no one was around.. she closed the door stepping inside and placed the flowers in a pot
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Hunny bear~ Good morning
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Good morning sissy~ Did you send me flowers?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Flowers? No hunny bear. I didn't send any flowers... why are you asking?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Um.. it's nothing. I wanted to ask you are coming to Sicily for my birthday right?
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Yes I am.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
I can't wait for it sissy! I love you and miss you so much.
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
I do too.. where's that Candy buddy of yours? Go and have a good breakfast with her...
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
* laughs * Alrighty!
Invite Him
Secretary : Ma'am, mister De'costa is here to meet you.
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
Tell him I'm busy..
She was denying to meet him for three days now. She again got busy signing and reading papers. Suddenly a loud noise came from outside and she went to check what happened...
As soon as she opened the door a gun pointed at her head.. It was none other than SAMUEL DE'COSTA
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
Move we are leaving.
She was shocked with his cold voice and angry face. His eyes were red.. it was obvious to tell that he had been madly looking for her these days
VALERIE MORMONT[FL'S sis]
What the hell do you think you are doing Mr. De'costa!?
SAMUEL DE'COSTA [ML'S bro]
If you utter another word then I swear I will do something that both of us will regret.
She flinched with his harsh threat... her secretaries and body guards were also at gun point. She might have forgotten but he's the most dangerous man of Italian subcontinent...
She dared not say another word and followed him as he dragged her to his car. He threw her inside the car harshly and drove at full speed.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
I can't get through her phone..
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Me neither.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
* sighs * I can't believe this. Today's my birthday and she ....
CANDICE OWENS [FL'S BFF]
Ana we can't waste time anymore.. we need to check the arrangements one last time and then you need to get ready for the party hunny bear
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Hmm...
She was upset but she didn't have much choice. She looked into the guest list once again and suddenly she remembered she forgot to invite the CEO of the Hotel... for courtesy she always invites the officials to her parties
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
I forgot to invite him.. what should I do now?
She mumbles to herself then an idea hit her.... she went to the front desk of the hotel and asked in the CEO was available for a short meeting
Staff : I am sorry ma'am, our boss is in a meeting right now. I have just talked with his secretary. He doesn't have free time this morning.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Umm.. what time does his meeting end?
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Thank you very much.
She left and went to the top floor where the meetings were held. She waited for a while then suddenly noticed a few men leaving the conference room.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Excuse me? Are you Mr. De'costa?
Anyone could recognize the man surrounded by guards and other men. He was tall and very well built which can catch anyone's eye at first glance.
When she called his name the people present there immediately looked at her... she became the center of attention in seconds.
She was nervously holding her phone in one hand and curiously looking at the man sitting on the huge red couch.. the main chair of the room
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
I won't take up much time Sir. May I just take five minutes of your time?
RHYS DE'COSTA [ML]
I can not deny such a beautiful lady~ Please entra~
His aura was unsettling and different... no one dared to even look at him in the eye but she was constantly staring at him.
She couldn't help but be curious seeing his tattooed hands and veins. Also numerous marks were adding to the dark aesthetics of Him
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Um.. I am Anastasia Albert, sir. I am very embarrassed to say this but I accidentally forgot to send you the invitation to a party that I am hosting. Tonight right in this hotel.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
I always do remember to invite the officials and owners. But this is actually the first time I have ever hosted a party myself. So it just slipped through the cracks. I hope you wouldn't mind joining in such a short notice.
She was nervously smiling while speaking. All this while he was mesmerized with her soft voice and scent.
She was standing at a far but he could feel that fresh scent of roses clearly. She finished her words and waited for a reply but he was too busy admiring her.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
* gulp * Sir?
RHYS DE'COSTA [ML]
I have a very busy schedule Miss Albert. I can't guarantee if I can attend or not.
You have my regards miss.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Thank you sir. I would really appreciate your presence tonight.
Uh.. a and please . call me Anastasia...
umm.. It's a very small scale though and the press and media are not involved if you feel uncomfortable because of it.
RHYS DE'COSTA [ML]
*chuckles amusingly*
I think you are going to persuade me Miss Anastasia.
He got up buttoning his coat and walked near her. When he stood in front of her she felt very timid and small as he was way taller than her.
RHYS DE'COSTA [ML]
Happy birthday Anastasia.
He leaned closer to her height and wished her birthday. She looked at him with her doe eyes and met his staring figure at once.
His eyes.... ocean blue and very calm at the same time. She was lost in thoughts for the time being then snapped out of the moment.
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
Thank you for your time, sir. I shall take my leave.
She turned to leave and walked down the halls. A few steps after her heart kept racing for one last glance at Him. After constant bickering with her heart she peeked over her shoulders and his sinful eyes caught her taking glances at him.
RHYS DE'COSTA [ML]
* smiles*
ANASTASIA ALBERT [FL]
* flinches.. turns around*
