Episode 6
But if I am not able to meet Anna I should write this down
Yes I should write this down. Where do I write this down? I looked through the room until I saw my old journal of last four years. I better not use my recent journal for safety purpose..
I picked my journal and looked through it …
I searched carefully for an empty space.
Anna’s p.o.v
I was awoken by coffee which my mother’s favourite maid served.
I woke up and wrapped my blanket over me.
I felt cold.
” thank you, exactly what I needed.
” you are welcome
” madam I need to tell you something about your mother
“What is it?
” your mom didn’t leave you just like that…
Mrs Isabella didn’t leave in sane mind. She was actually acting very weird.
“really?
“yes! She was halfway Insane… your dad had to lock her up.
” how come dad didn’t tell me
” I dont know and I don’t also know how she left…I am surprised because she was heavily guarded.
“how did her sickness start
” it’s shocking because it just started out of the blue.
” thanks.
” I will be leaving
she walked out ..
I can’t really believe all this…why didn’t father tell me? This means we need to further our search to psychiatric houses. Who knows someone might have found her.
I rushed into my shower.
Mrs Tonias p.o.v
Anna keeps making things tough I can’t believe she fired Ella… Anyways she will soon cry out blood. No need exchanging words with her. I know exactly what to do.
I placed a call to my agent
” hello are you done?
“no I’m still meeting major lawyer’s. Soon all the files and info concerning all documents will be merged into one. Then all Isabella has to do is to sign it.
” ok you are taking too much time. I am tired of seeing Isabella alive.
” it’s all good. Everything Is under full control but what about Anna?
” why?
” Anastasia is a true Grande by birth. You are not even a legal wife and we both know that Daniella is not Mr Grande’s child. Even if Isabella signs away all her rights and all Anna’s right to you. The court and the board even citizens won’t fall easily to you. They will start investigating and asking questions and they may find out the truth but if Anna is dead or seriously ill,….
“They will have no choice but to plead in my favour. I can easily disguise that I’m helping Anna out.
” true, now you understand
” I don’t know how the future will be but I know for sure that there is no possibility of hurting Anastasia now. Her security Is mind blowing.
“Until the files are ready, I hope you also have plans on how to shut Alexandra up.
“I did but one stupid nurse ruined everything. Now I have to finds another way to kill him.
“You better do…so by then , after Isabella assigns her shares to you…the death of your husband will also push his own shares to you too….in the disposition of Anna ,making you the only heir of Alexandra Grande’s wealth worldwide.
I smiled. This is what I like to hear.
” so have you found the boy?
” no! Not yet but Anna wants to hold a big board meeting. Do well to not miss it.
” I won’t .
” good! Tell Ella to cool down..everything will fall into place very soon she is going to have it all.even everything that Anna has
” ok
” good bye
” ok.
I dropped the call.yes, even everything Anna has.
Ryan’s p.o.v
I was tired of watching Clara from my window. She’s so pretty and she’s braiding her hair…… Clara felt so guilty nowadays it is slimming her down but when i offered we break up and take things slow she was still crying. she really loves me very much . i wonder if she doesn’t miss me, she should be up here by now
” hey girlfriend.
she waved her little hands at me
” why are you making me miss you?
” wait! I’m coming…. I will just
She tied the red ribbon on the two braids and rushed up. She looks like a toy.
she came up and I took a step closer and hugged her. she smiled and looked down
I sat on the bed and helped her sit
” sir Ryan , do you think Anna will forgive me?
” for what?
” for you… for loving you
” Clara
” don’t worry I already know the answer. I just wish you were someone else not someone who belongs to Anna because. I really love you very much…
” Clara it’s ok.everything will fall into place with time.
she nodded and smiled wiping her tears…is all this paining her?
Clara’s pov
I only have one wish, that Anna will forgive me. I am selfish when it comes to Ryan may be because I loved him alone for a while.I know i don’t deserve happiness but I really want this one.I looked at him and more tears streamed down
” Clara
I wiped my tears and smiled. I raised my hands to his face and kissed his cheek.I really want to kiss his lips but I feel so guilty now… thinking about Anna’s call. I kissed him there for a while till my tears dropped on him I wiped them
“I am sorry” I said wiping his shirt i stained. He looked into my eyes
” Clara I hate it when you shed tears
I hastily wiped my tears I don’t want him to hate me yet he raised his hands to my eyes and dried them out..
” Clara It is ok, .we will do it your way..” he moved closer and hugged me
“Clara why are you quiet suddenly?”
” I just want to hear your heartbeat”.he chuckled
” sir Ryan are you hungry?
” Mrs. Ryan do you want to cook?
” yes I want to…let’s go and cook
” yes madam.
He carried me into the kitchen.
“Sir Ryan drop me on the floor
“No my princess doesn’t step on the floor. He placed me on the counter
I smiled and wiped my tears before he sees it. Why do I keep tearing up? May be I should try being a friend to Sir Ryan no. kisses, no romance. Just hugs like normal friends do. Can I do that?. i can’t break up with Ryan, it will kill me rather i will try my best to avoid these stuffs. i can do it. Fighting!!.I looked at his face and he mixed everything for the sauce and turned on the fire he moved over to me and placed both hands on the side of the counter trapping me and just looked at my face as I kicked my legs about.
” sir Ryan can you cook?
” yes … do you want to taste… he deeped the spoon and fed me . tastes good I smiled . he presses his hands on both my hands on the counter and looked into my eyes again…
” what do you think? Was it good?” he asked me. I nodded and he smiled at me. I stupidly moved over and tried k!ssing him again .. Arrrgh why can’t I control myself? I gently tucked my hair behind my ear and tried not to k!ss him
” Clara It is ok…. I am willing to wait for all those conflicting thoughts in your mind to settle…I am still here and I love you and we are still a couple but it will be on your terms… I will be anything you want me to be. A friend, a lover, brother as long as you are happy.
it is done let’s go. He carried me down from the counter and we both walked down to the dinner with the food.
” I am so glad I gave you my first kiss sir Ryan..It was really valuable to me others saw it as nothing or something not right
” I’m glad I was your first love too Clara.
” so who was your first love sir Ryan
” well her name was Karena, an Indian model.

” Me too, I don’t want to see you with any other girl Ryan … I feel like I will die
“You won’t, it has to be youClara
” promise
” yes I promise
” so after unnie was Daniella
” yes Ella
” how did you meet
” well open street…she was a reckless driver she almost spoilt my car. I was so mad I came down to shout at her but it turned out she already collapsed. She was unwell. That was how we met.

We ate fully and i retired to my room watching tv. Time slip through shadows. I didn’t kiss him I think I can control my desires for now until he calls .Anna. “Jesus Clara what are you thinking of?” I shouted and used my pillow to cover my face. i saw him looking at me from his window. I smiled and waved at him.. I won’t sleep beside you tonight sir Ryan. You will surely break my defense…omg I miss him. I held my pillow tighter. He laughed as though he can hear me shout “desires stop!! inside my head.
NEXT DAY
ANNUAL BOARD MEETING, GRANDE GROUP OF COMPANIES.
*Tonia’s pov*
Oh finally Anna showed up and I thought she would never come.. I really want to know what this meeting was all about
Anna walked in, she looks quite expensive. Her guards and assistant strolled down with her but the guards stopped at the main door leaving her with her assistant. The crowd is really much. Mr and Mrs Dervantes as well as all important persons were available. My husband had to come too I can’t remember the last time he attended such after he handed over to Anna. This means there must be some important issues to address. Anna arrived at her seat. She sat down with so much pride then she said
” please procede.
the director of A.G.H.C stood up.
“Since Anna has arrived, we will move into the main reasonsuch a big meeting is held again over the years. .also ma’am Anastasia Grande gives a special welcome to all of you.
He sat down and Anna spoke into her Mic
“Hello ladies and gentlemen as well as representatives to active heads who couldn’t make it. My name is Anastasia Alexandra Grande the first.”she smiled. Her name really fills her head with joy.
” and I am the only heir to one of the biggest hospitals owned by Grande Group. ie) ANNASTASIA GRANDE’S HEALTH CENTER.(A.G.H.C) this position balanced me with me 70 percent of shares in Grande group. This means that in this gathering I am god.
Everyone looked at one another and her father smiled gently.
” I Annastasis Alexandra Grande held this shareholders’ meeting strictly involving Dervantes Groups shareholders too . I wish to resolve an issue which has been a big blow to this great partnership between Grande and Dervantes groups
” the file lying in front of you is a list of unaccessible income and resources from within and outside both groups for a long period of time , aging from my coma arrest. As you can see it is a long list. pls M.D read out some parts .
” March 24, procurement for drug from Dervantes (access denied)
” April 4th, procurement for Labour from A.G.H.C (R.D denied access)
” procurement for capital from Dervantes (access denied)
” and so on…. madam.
he sat down
” thank you. So we all see clearly why this merger is not working.after my accident both groups stopped giving access. 2 works, Labour, capital, resources resultant to this, Dervantes group had to get an external investor ie) Liam King to invest in the new hospitals without reaching out to A.G.H.C for financial aid. Mr Dervantes can you tell me why?
Liam looked at Anna and smiled softly. He must be surprised at her strict nature
” well Anna, you stayed in coma for longer than usual and mind you this partnership was binded with marriage, so we had to reduce our transfer of resources so in case you do not wake up. The merger will easily be severed”, Ryan’s mother said.
” well Mrs Dervantes you spoke well but after I awoke and started treatment. Monetary access was still denied especially in huge amounts.
” Anna your relationship with Ryan has not been legalized.we are just being careful because. if one day both of you break up both groups will incure too much cost and the merger will cause a huge blood battle so I advice you to do this after your wedding my jewel “, Anna’s dad said
” Anna my dear I already told your Dad that his fear is useless, Ryan loves you and he told me he would get married to you once he is back so what is our fear? Let’s stop this access denial..Mr Dervantes said and his wife looked at him.
” honey be careful. Ryan is a human being not a toy ..he has the possibility of falling in love again or getting fed up with Anna “, she said in low tunes to her husband
” Ryan can’t be stupid enough to do that”,Ryan’s dad replied.
Anna closed her file
” my relationship with Ryan is secured, i also live with ryan as a fiancee.even through my years In coma Ryan waited for me and he was never caught or seen anywhere with a woman so this proves that we both love each other very much and our relationship is very much secured. So as the foremost heir of Grande group I hearby declare that from now on, both companies will have open access to both resources and capital with no hindrances. This merger will bloom into a strong partnership and we will all be one.
her assistant gave her the declaration file and she signed it.
” Anna if this will push through , we need a formalized documentation of your marriage to Ryan which can be looked at during proceedings..we are all investors , we don’t want to watch both companies go down or result to a blood battle”, Liam said.
” nice speech Liam, so today before you all and with full permission from Ryan, I hereby formalize my union with Ryan we are now a couple before society and law the rest will follow when he returns.
the judge brought out the marriage certificate and signed it .
” since the fiance is not here, may his both parents sign in his stead”, the lawyer said
Anna’s assistant passed her the file and she signed it.
now her marriage to Ryan has become a bond that can never be broken .I watched Ella wipe her tears. She finally lost Ryan.
” father in -law and mother .please sign…. nna said
the file was moved around and Ryan’s dad signed as well as his mom.
” daddy please sign
” sure Anna , I hope Ryan is in line with this”,…. my husband signed.. the lawyer took the certificate and signed it then he sealed it.
” from today Annastasia has become a legal wife to Ryan Dervantes. Part of this agreement already took place before her coma arrest and Ryan signed it then so now that she is out. it has been completed and legalized they are now a couple before society and the law the remaining rites will follow when Ryan returns.
I know my husband’s fear, even if Ryan is not in support it won’t make any difference. Nothing can change this union and he doesn’t want Anna to get married to a man who doesn’t really love her but was forced into it.after the signing Anna stood up
” and today , I hereby formalize my marriage to Ryan Dervantes. Now this merger has been strengthened once more. There is a full documentation so if I or Ryan go contrary to what I did today by breaking off this marriage and leading to war, each shareholder or investor has the right and privilege to sue us to court . and sue the company as well for repair of damages.I believe I was clear and understood….
“you were
But understood clearly Mrs Ryan Dervantes., the crowd chanted and Anna smiled Mr Dervantes smiled too.
