Third person pov:
After two days ana called Kathline for checking designs, they met in Ana's office. After Kathline sat, Ana thanked for helping her that night.
Kathline said " I did not do anything; it was my profession. If you want thank, you must thank Mr. King."
Ana has a questioning face " Mr. King?"
" Yes, Mr. Alexander Black King , I want to take you to hospital but Mr. King take you, I asked did he know you ? but you can say no one dare to question him. He asked what happen to you? I explained your situation." Kathline explained the situation.
At the end of meeting, Kathline questioned " If not problem, May I ask you something ?"
" You can." Ana replied with a smile. " How do you know Mr. King?" she questioned hesitatingly.
" What I mean is Whole world knows that Mr. King never care about others. But on that night, I can see he was worry about you but he did not show it outside. "
Hearing this ana did not know what to reply , " Mr. King is friend of my friend jenny , she was recently married. She asks Mr. king to take care about me in her absence until she returns. I don't have many friends and I had work for his company before."
At night ana sat in her bedroom and thinks at about that night , she feels alex was beside her and take care of her. when she woke up, she saw Laura, Laura was Interior designer who took care of the company in absence of Ana.
Laura said that she was at near the restaurant and brought her to home and called doctor. But this was all done by him.
Next day ana went to alex office to meet him, Charles his PA informed alex. Ana sat infront of alex , Alex questioned her "What take you here Ms. Khanna?"
" Why he has to talk like we are strangers?" Ana thought to herself and replied " Mr. King I am here to say sorry and thank you" Alex was silent ana continued " In hotel I misunderstand you..." Alex interrupts her.
" Miss, I don't want to talk about that. I already said that we are strangers so need for this." Alex said with a cold voice.
Ana was silent and she know he was angry; she wants to explain to him.
They hear a door knock , after alex permission Brenna entered and said he had a meeting and left from there.
"Miss. Khanna, if you don't have anything, you can leave now." Alex said and doing his work. Ana stood and left from there.
Alex murmurs something seeing ana's back leaving.
After that ana tried to meet alex and chat with him but he never agreed or reply for her messages. He behaves like she was a stranger to him and talk with a cold voice. He even shouted at ana like he did on others in meetings.
In last few days ana work was shared by Laura, after ana return laura left the company . Alex asked her to work with ana to less her burden, Laura takes recommendation from jen to join in the company again. Now she want to get back with alex like before.
Ana remembered some suggestions given by her friends before, jen used to tell how to cool boyfriend if he was angry. Ana stood infront mirror holding alex gift in hands and said " Alex, I don't want to lose you. I am wrong before I will make it up to you." kissing the hearts in the chain.
" You are already mine alex" with determination in her voice " we will start our relationship and I will make you love me."
Next day ana went to meet alex in king's Company. Ana was waiting and neglected like before. Charles felt sorry for ana waiting for hours to talk with alex. Brenna came from alex office and said to ana " Ms. Khanna , Mr. King was busy he can't meet you."
" I can wait " Ana said interrupting .
" Miss, why are you wasting your time and our time? Mr. King is not a normal person who is free like you or wait for you." She sat beside ana and continued "I had saw so many like you who want to get billionaire attention, others may fall for your ticks but not Mr. King. He was bearing you because you are his friend's friend. If not, he treats you like trash."
In her life ana can never tolerate to look down by others, she said " We are more than common friends . Ms. Brenna." Ana said confidently.
" Ms. Friends with benefit , all know that it was just for fun. you are his past , it was over. You should stop bothering him. He is not a single girl lover, he may with you today, with others next day."
"I will show you, who I am to him, right now. Ms. Brenna." With that ana stood up from her place and walks towards alex office.
Alex was talking with ben about his schedule standing near the glass window, ana entered room without knocking. Alex was about to shout at Brenna, she was becoming brave to enter without permission.
When he saw the person coming, he had a shock then smirk on his face, suddenly changes to cold one. Alex was standing at glass window, she directly walked towards him.
" I am in call now; you can leave miss" alex said holding his phone with a cold voice.
" Mr. King, I will not take more than 5 minutes. I already waited for 4 hours already."
Alex leans on the window, holding phone "Ms. It's not good to enter without permission" Alex questioned her. " I don't need permission, Mr. King. Before I hear from my friend alex that I did not need any permissions, that I can always welcome here. " Ana replied walking towards window.
Ana stood infront of him, alex can feel something strange, she looks different from normal in her dressing style. "Loose hair, long green dress, it looks simply but she was always beautiful in my eyes. " Alex thought to himself.
"We are strangers now......" Alex words were stopped in middle, ana put her index finger on his lips.
" I am really sorry alex, I should not misunderstand you. sorry for not trusting you. sorry for blaming." Ana said in one go with a guilty expression . Seeing into his eyes " I am here to make it up for my mistakes. I will work hard to get your trust again." Ana said. Alex can see her determination.
Ana took her hand back and turn around but stopped seeing Brenna watching them, " Before leaving I am warning you, remember that You said I am yours . same goes to you .You are mine... I don't like if you are close to others." Ana said slowly moving close step by step to him.
Alex expression remains constant , she tip toed and gave a sudden peck on his lips and left. Alex saw ana figure leaving the room. He had a bright smile " my plan works" alex thought.
Brenna saw the scene infront of her, ana walks out the room and asked " Now, you can decide who I am to him? I think you know better how alex treat if others throw themselves on him." Ana left proudly.
In her life she never gives chance to others to look down on her.
" Alex never let anyone enter without permission. If I enter, he used to scold me but he did not scold her. she warned him , touch him and kissed him but he had a smile on his face." Brenna thinks in her cabin " in my experience if any woman behaves like her, they would never see the sun next day. He makes them pay for it. No one can dare to go against him. But what is their relationship?" she was thinking not lo get them together.
Brenna plans to get alex by the time Ananya and alex make it.
At night ana thinks, she only wants to seduce and please him, but she goes too far. " to let herself down infront of Brenna , she kissed him." while thinking she got a call from Fiona.
She answered the call and knows that after three days was alex birthday, all others are return by tonight. They will meet at ana's restaurant to plan the party.
Day before birthday:
Ana was excited and nervous, Charles asked ana. After a long asking ana explained Charles about her plan. "Ana, are you really doing this?" Charles questioned with a shock.
Ana nodded " It was my mistake before, I want to give us a chance." Charles encouraged ana " Mr. King is stubborn man; it was hard to persuade him. But I can say you can do it, other than you no one is suitable for him" Charles gave a thumbs up to her and left to take a call.
Ana hear alex coming, while drinking water in the Canteen beside the corridor . She comes out and hears rumors about Brenna and Alex. And she was the middle wheel between them. They were bad mouthing ana.
" I hear Ms. Brenna and Mr. King were in relation, but Ananya was interfering between them. What do you think ?" one colleague question others. " Last time Mr. King said She is his , but I think these were all Ananya tricks. If not, how can a cheap designer can work in this company."
" Yes, I agree. She did not want to leave the jackpot; I hear now a days she was coming to meet Mr. King, but He is not meeting her."
" She should stop meeting him, it may effect relation between Ms. Brenna. I think Ms. Brenna is best choice for him." There were discussing about her, in between they also talked about she kissed alex in the office. She was seducing the billionaire.
Those words affect her, she walks in the corridor saw alex supporting Brenna to walk, she was walking with the help of alex. They were close, she was tightly holding him and acting weak.
Alex helped Brenna to her cabin and goes to his. Alex hears a knock and said " come in" Ana entered the room, alex saw her and his expression changes. He was ready to forgive her, he played for a long time and missed her so much.
" I think you don't need permission" Alex asked casually. His words no longer cold as before.
Ana stood before " I am sorry for my barge in the office before and for my behavior. You must feel wrong to be forced by me, and be in relation with me. I was over reacted. " Ana said controlling her feelings.
Her eyes were turning red " I am here to explain about what happen in India. I don't have money before for studying, so I took money in exchange of my property. I asked for permission to payback. but they sold it. So, I don't have choice to do it."
"I did not ask anything?" Alex stopped her.
" I have to explain , you are my benefactor." Ana said and left without turning back from there.
Charles saw ana leaving with a red eyes, she was disappointed and goes to alex cabin. " Mr. King, do you reject her?" Charles asked with a questioning face.
Alex did not reply , seeing alex silent face " Mr. King I never thought you were like this? I thought you were serious with Ana but you are not." Charles said with a regret in her voice to encourage ana.
Charles wants to leave , stopped by alex " what do you mean?"
" She came to ask you to start relation, but you rejected her because of a misunderstanding. " Charles explained.
"What???" alex asked her to explain
" Ana wants to ask you as her boyfriend, she want to celebrate your birthday as a couple. It was her birthday gift to you. She was so nervous, I encouraged her. she was so excited for it. While she speaking about, I can see her happiness but when I saw her leaving now, she was crying. You disappoint me Mr. King. I thought you like her." saying this she left from there.
Next day, as scheduled alex has completed his business and went to birthday banquet at noon. His parents and other wished him, after that at evening he went to their friend's party arranged in guest house. Alex ,his batch and some friends from university were celebrating.
Alex did not see ana, she did not even wish him. Alex was eager to see her today, he asked jen about her. " What ? Can't wait to see her?" jen teased.
"She can't come now?" Fiona replied .
" Why?" alex asked.
After sometime chatting with his friends, suddenly there was a voice " hi guys, now this was the surprise from a special person to our birthday Man" David said.
Then curtain behind them was opened and the girl alex searching was sitting before piano . She looks like an angel in the red dress.
She starts to sing a song along with playing piano. complete silence .
"Thousand Years of love "
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Ana hears applause from the audience, she thanked them and get down the stage, while getting down she took water from the waiter. Ana felt the taste is different, Sanjana rushed to ana and hugged her " You did great ana" , jen also praised her " Your performance is great, I think you must have participated in our university functions then you had won all the trophies. Our apartment had filled up with your awards."
Party goes on with drinking, dancing and music. After an hour all left, only their batch was present.
