6 Months Later

“Lana! Finish your breakfast at least!” a shout of Anya echoed behind me while I was heading to the exit, 

“I’ve had enough, byeee!” I yelled, making sure if she could hear, 

“If Mr Knightley asks me about it, you’d be responsible,” I heard her threatening me but I continued to run outside. She has been our housemaid who is going home for a few days and also she has been my good companion from the past 6 months. A great person by heart.

I was jogging towards the car as usual. Cody, our chauffeur drives me off to school every day, he has been doing this from the day I started schooling here. I still remember my apprehension over the first day there but Anya and Cody both helped me overcome my anxiety,

I got closer to the Audi and saw Cody standing beside it. My face immediately formed a bright smile and I called out his name. He turned around and replied me back with a grin, “Our latecomer has arrived,” he added and I furrowed with a mischievous smirk,  

He opened the car door and I got in. Right off the bat, he hopped in and started driving to my school.

During the drive, I was lost in thoughts of Nathan. Every time I think of him, my face automatically replaces with a grin, he has a great effect on me from last a few months, we get closer, friendlier and open with each other. When he comes home, he greets me with a hug, he spends his most of the time with me and we talk about different things, he allows me to sit with him in his home office and I read books there while he works, and how he feeds me chocolates and bears my tantrums whenever I’m on my periods, how he has been the sweetest to me since the day I landed here, he makes sure I have everything according to my wish and will.

I just love being with him or maybe, I’m already in love with him. Wherever he goes, I try to follow him, whatever he does I try to track him over, whoever he talks to, I interrogate like his wife and he answers me like a good husband. 

Now that I have him with me. I have completely forgotten that I had ever been treated like a trash bag, I have completely forgotten how Armando treated me because I have him all with me and I want him forever. 

Last night we took a took ahead than just friends, something happened between us which he both couldn’t stop, 

We kissed. Passionately, like we own each other as I wanted him for so long. But before we could go to another extreme Angeline (Nathan’s sister) disturbed us.

So, since last night we both have been hiding from each other because neither of us was ready for this to happen. 

He went early to his office where I waited for him to go then I stepped out of my room, 

“Ana, we are ready!” Cody’s voice awakened me,

“Hu-ya! Gotcha!” I said with a smile and tossed out of the car 

Striding towards my class, my face was buried in my phone, I was busy in checking Instagram while completely unaware of the surroundings that suddenly I hit in someone and her books fell on the floor, “Oh- I-I-I’m so s-sorry,” I helped her in picking up her books, “I wasn’t looking straight, are you alright?” I asked her is she was hurt by me in any means, 

“Yes, I’m good,” she said in a monotone with her velvety voice, it had a touch of foreign accent somehow, with her looks, I can aasure that she wasn’t a brit for sure. “Oh-okay,” I said while giving her my soft smile, "Stay Blessed" I wished her and as I turned around, she requested, “Hey, do you know about Professor Cameron’s class taking place? Actually, I’m new here and it's my first day so I don’t know much about the school,” she explained, "Oh okay, umm, Professor Cameron’s class? Well, perhaps we have our first class together, Come with me,” I said and we started heading towards east, 

We reached the class.

I sit on my regular seat which is in the last and Obviously, I thought she might’ve separated from there but she decided to sit beside me, “I don’t have a friend in here, but I find you friendly, can I sit with you if you don’t mind,” 

“Yeah yeah, sure! I have no problem,” I expressed her my usual kindness and ensure her my easment while putting my books on the desk

“If you have any boyfriend to accompany then I can sit somewhere else,” she said to me while pointing other seats, I was startled on her confidence that she actually said this to me but then I remembered she was a newbie here,

“Oh absolutely no, my boy...friend doesn’t study anymore,” I said then I instantly regretted, why did I say this to her!? Somehow I wanted us to happen but pinning it in public ears won't help me even a bit,

“Ahan, did he quit or something,” she questioned with a concerned look while putting her books on the desk

“No buddy, he is done with his studies and now running an empire,” I explained to her while I was innerly scolding myself for not stopping my mouth and throwing unnecessary information in a stranger's ears. I examined her looks, she was a beautiful girl with jet black hair and big glasses on hiding her dark-brown eyes, she had dark features,

“I see, you guys must be new, look, how you are blushing for him,” said that girl, making me want to bury my face somewhere, I was too affected by her words, 

I chuckled lightly, "Well, something like that," I said and decided to zip my mouth till the bell rang for my next class, 

The bell rang and Mr Cameron showed up. He started the class and I sank all of my attention to the board and his lecture. He kept his mouth running till the bell rang again, I was making notes when I heard, “What’s your name?” that same girl asked me,

“Its… Lana, Lana Knightley,” I passed her my name where I saw a look on her face, she had an alarmed look on her face but she managed to hide it before I could worry about it and I was too into my next class so I overlooked it and stood up, “Are you married?” she threw a ridiculous question and I wasn’t expecting this at all, my face went all wide and shock
