Anastasia Pov :
I am Anastasia, I was married to my current husband because of the family elders. But my husband Zain Davies never showed intrest in me so before marriage we drafted a contract, so in short it's a contract marriage between us, the contract would end after 1 year
That is today, our one year Anniversary.
I really hoped that we could make this marriage work till this day because I loved Zain, but now, today I know it is a lost case, because Zain had a lover, he wanted to marry her but because of her poor background the Davies family didn't want zain to marry her.
The Davis family hid it, even Zain knew this but he was quite, never told me,I was tricked into this marriage. I was always looked down upon cause I was not loved by my husband, but now I know they knew the reason why Zain never took intrest in me but still tormented and looked down.
Now I sit before Zain and his Mistress Laura, the divorce papers before me, Zain and Laura looking hopefully that I would sign afterall it's a contract marriage, on the other side Grandma Davies head of the family is convincing me not to sign, she always criticized me but diesng want me to leave the family because it would bring shame on her family, the Davies family.
" Dear Anastasia, Zain is acting recklessly, don't sign dear " She was glaring at Zain, her voice evoked the anger in me, so I did what anyone would do, I took up the pen and signed it.
" From now on, I have no connection to this family, I would appreciate if you don't contact me ever again " I say , I stan up and leave the mansion with my suitcase in my hand
I took a cab and went to my Parents house, I belong to the Valentino Family, a Italian Mafia family.
The only reason I married into the Davis family is because our grandfather's were friends and it was their last wish, but now that they died Zain asked for divorce as per our contract and I signed it.
I enter the villa and was created by my father Antonio Valentino, he took me in his arms and said sorry over and over again
" Sorry my dear daughter, I should have said no to the proposal, I was a fool, I'm sorry " I hugged him back trying to seek all the warmth I was not given in that hellhole of a family.
" Papa, I'm back now. That's all it matters to me " We parted from our hug
My mother Alessia Valentino, hugged me and sobbed for me,
She was always emotional, the sensitive one. I hugged her back
Soon after our reunion we moved to the living room, mother and father sat in silence , because of what I faced.
My Dad broke it, Little one , leave this to me I will brink that family down and burn their empire " My mom nodded at my fathers words
" Anastasia they need to pay for what they did " Mom says
I nod ,
" Papa, we will both bring down. I want to be a part in this "
Dad nods understanding me,
" Little one but now you must focus on healing, I know you will fully healed after their downfall " Dad says
" I talked to your friend, you work is waiting for you tomorrow " I smile
Mother and father both engulf me in a hug.
In that movement I know I'm starting a new life
I still want to live
