A Dream Come True

Chapter- 6

She stood paralysed for sometime before she gathered herself and quietly dashed towards the exit.She couldn't be a part of this farce.True,she has lost her memory but some rational part of mind refuse to acknowledge her so called marriage.She bumped into a hard wall.

"Woah..Ana.What happened?"
Xavier looked into her sorrowful eyes and swiftly shielded her from the crowd.
"Just stay with me."She whispered incoherently.
"P..please take me back home...take me back to the mansion."
No that is not her home.That is the beast cage where he is the captor while she is his captive.
"This is your reception party Ana.People might question."Xavier interposed soothingly.
"I can't do this right now."She looked at him with her pleading eyes.Xavier's shoulder sagged down.

Xavier took Anastasia's hand and led her to the underground parking.After helping Anastasia inside his car.He got into the driver's seat and drove it towards Xander's mansion.
"Are you alright Ana?You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I..I am fine."Her voice was raspy.
She couldn't voice out her problems to Xavier.That seems wrong to her.She wouldn't cry in front of him as well.
"Is it something to do with Xander?Look I know its none of my business but please tell me.Can I be of any help to you?"
"You've done a lot for me Xavier.But trust me,I am fine now."
"You don't look well."Xavier mumbled.
"Just take me back.I am fine."
Xavier sighed.
"Only if you say."

The rest of the drive was comfortably quiet.Each lost in their own thoughts.As soon as they reached the mansion.Anastasia threw opened the door and climbed out.

"Can you apologise on behalf of me that I was feeling under the weather hence I had to leave?"
Xavier nodded.
"You sure you're fine?"
She smiled wanly and nodded.
He opened his mouth to say something then decided against it.
She managed a small smile and sprinted back inside the mansion running directly towards her safe haven.Her room.

She quickly stripped of her clothes.A warm shower was calling her.She stood under the spray and let her tears fall freely.She cried for her accident.She cried for losing her memories.She cried for her failing marraige.She cried for the man who in a very short span of her life has invaded her thoughts continuosly.

After a long time when she felt she was shivering.Her body was cold and numb.Getting out she dressed in a pair of boxers and threw over a tank top.
She sat on her window which overlooked the backyard and kept her gaze solely on the moonlit sky.
Trying to find her peace in sleep,she climbed her bed and lay down.She couldn't even sleep.She dwell upon the past few days and its event.She couldn't look past Xander's infidelity.Again exhaling loudly she got up.It was past midnight.Xander must be home alongwith his...

"I better not go that way."
She murmured.She gave herself a mental pep talk and stepped out of her room.She walked towards the indoor swimming pool.

Just as she was about to reach the pool.She heard gentle sound of water.She could already feel her heart beating tumultously.Just as she was about to turn around and run towards her room.A voice stopped her.
"Anastasia.." Xander said breathlessly.He was the last person she wanted to see today.
There stood Xander in his half naked glory.And boy does he look delicious.Though there was nothing boyish about him.He was all man.Water dripping from his hair,his sharp jawline looking prominent,his sexy pack abs.His swimming trunk did little to hide the V of his lower body.He looked more like the hunk model who promotes sexy underwear.Though Xander would put everyone to shame.He cleared his throat.
"Are you alright?Xav said you weren't feeling well."
So now he's concerned about her health.Anastasia thought angrily.She gritted her teeth.
"There's no one here Xander.Why the sudden concern?"
"Look.." She cut him off mid sentence.
"Save it Xander.I know I'm nothing more than a liability to you.So do me a favour will you?Let's just ignore each other."

Xander was clearly angry at her outburst.
He stride towards her and in a quick flash pulled her body towards him.He kissed her hungrily as a starved man.This was a different kind of kiss from the one he gave in the dance floor.This kiss showed he desired her.Though her mind refuse to acknowledge it.At first she tried to wiggle herself out of his embrace but soon melted in his arms.This man was lethal she realised.He could do serious damage to her.

When he pulled away.Both of them were breathing heavily.He rested his forehead against her.His eyelids were hooded.Lust clearly written on his face.
"Why..y do you hurt me so much
Xander?"
Her voice was small almost a whisper.
He wrenched away from her gently.Wrapping himself with a towel.He sat on the lounger and pat the next lounger beside him.
Anastasia stepped towards the lounger and sat on it.
Her clothes were sticking to her body.Xander wrapped another towel around her gently.
He reclined back to the lounger.His gaze on the ceiling.
"I am not a good man Ana.I'm a beast."His voice was soft but it held conviction.

"A ray of light is always followed by the  darkness."
She whispered back.
"Do you see any light inside me?For I can see only pitch black darkness."
She squeezed his hand lightly.He looked at her one last time and made his way back without saying anything.

What just happened?

What is going on with Xander?What is disturbing him?Is it anything to do with his marriage to Anastasia?
