Anastasia adjusted her glasses to cause a distraction. “Hey, dear. Have we met before?” She asked.

“Yes. Some days ago.” He replied.

“Really?” She chuckled. “Well, I don’t really remember.”

“You’ve got a lot to work on so, I won’t blame you for not remembering.”

Bella looked at Tessa, giving her an eye sign that they should leave and give them some privacy. “We’ll be back later, we wanna buy some thing across the street.” Bella informed her, leaving the shop.

“What do you think they’re gonna say?” Tessa asked as soon as they left the shop.

“I don’t know.”

“Well, I’m Ana… Anastasia r-manoff.” She stretched her hand to him.

Pablo looked at her hand, he didn’t want to leave it hanging, he returns the handshake. He saddened him that he was returning to Chicago only to see his girlfriend making a formal introduction like they’ve never met before.

“I’m Pablo… Escobar.”

On hearing the name Escobar, she quickly takes her hand off his. What just happened baffled Pablo, her reaction was so suspicious and he wondered why she acted that way.

She remembered two things. Firstly, Bella telling her that the man who bears the name Pablo was her boyfriend before the incident. Secondly, Bella did mention Mr Escobar was the man responsible for her parents dead.

So, if they both shared the same name, that means they are related and definitely has a hand to do with her parents death.

“Mr Escobar.” She said, her voice changed. “I’ve heard of the name, and I can’t forget what that name did to my family. Your father killed my parents. Tell me, Mr Pablo Escobar, are you here to kill me?” She questioned.

“Ana, what are you talking about?” He asked, moving close to her.

Anastasia moved backward, “Don’t come any closer to me.” She warned.

Pablo stopped walking. “Ana, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“You don’t understand?” He scoffed. “You fu*king pretending like you don’t know a shit I’m talking about, huh? Your father killed my parents, and you have the fu*king guys to come here?”

“Ana, my father killed your parents has nothing to do with me, okay? I wasn’t even there when it all happened.” He tried to defend himself.

“You know what? Keep the explanation to yourself. I’m calling the police.” She opened her purse to search for her phone. She picks it out, unlocking the password.

“Ana, please stop this, okay. I have nothing to do with the death of your parents.”

“You’re wasting your time, Mr, I don’t have the time to listen to your expectations.”

Pablo sighed.

She called the station number but she was reminded that she was out of airtime. “You’re lucky I’m out of airtime, but… I’m done with this conversation, I have to go home.”

She turned to leave but Pablo held her back by the hand. Anastasia threw him an angry glare, “Take your hands off me.”

“Can you just please, for a minute, listen to me?”

Anastasia moved her gaze at him from head to toe. “What’s your problem, Mr Escobar? What do you want from me?”

“I want you to listen to me. Do you think I like what’s going on here? Do you think I’d wake up on a faithful morning leaving my home to Chicago just for nothing? I came here because of you, Ana, I came because I was told you were hurt. It’s all my fault, I couldn’t have left you behind, I could have taken you back home with me.

Look at you, you don’t even remember a thing about me. You look at me like I am a stranger, like I never meant a thing to you. But deep in,side my heart, I feel hurt watching my girlfriend denying me right before my eyes.

It was you who gave me reasons why I have to take that empire, why I have to be the leader. You promised me you’d wait for me until I come,” he shakes his head, “you didn’t wait, you let him take my place in your life. What have I done wrong? Why do I deserve this? I know you don’t remember me but… you have to, even if it’s just a memory.” He held her shoulders. “Just a memory, Ana.”

She didn’t say a word, but kept staring at him.

“It’s pointless.” He said, walking steps away from her. “You don’t know who I am any more. I’m a fu*king stranger to you!”

He looks at her. “You love him, don’t you?” He asked. Anastasia knew he was referring to Mr Jayden. But he doesn’t know who he is, saying yes has nothing to do with him.

She was gonna reply to his question, he nodded his head. “You do love him.” He fought the tears back, trying not to meet glance with her. “You know what? I don’t blame you, I blame myself! If I had been a good boyfriend, this wouldn’t have happened! If only I was there for you, he wouldn’t have taken my place!”

The tears finally fell down his cheeks. He walked to her, nd without giving his action a second thought, he grabbed her l-ips, k××sing on it. He held her tight in his arms so that she won’t pull away. She didn’t respond to his k××s, but that didn’t make him stop.

Her dream began reflecting in her mind, those words she had said to him that night. The memory at the garden when they had their first k××s, those times he smiled at her, those times he came to her with bruises on his face. The words they had said to each other, the hug, the k××ses.

She remembered when she was bleeding, how he wanted to help. She remembered the fights he had fought for her, also that night when he almost died from the cold, how she held him to her naked body, chest to chest. When she had recalled all this memories, she pulled away from the k××s, staring into his w-t eyes.

“Pablo?” She called his name, and it sounded so special from her l-ips. “Pablo, you came? You came back?” She said, tearfully.

He car–sed her cheeks, nodding his head. “Yes, I came. I came back for you.”

“What took you so long?” She cupped his face. “What took you so long?”

“You made me promise you that I will take the empire, remember? I have finally taken the empire, I am the new leader. And now, I have come to take you home with me.”

She wept, tears rolling continuously. “I… I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, I didn’t keep to my promise. I… I don’t know… I don’t know what came over me. I love you… but… I… I…”

“Shh-shh.” He shushed her. “It’s okay. It’s okay. I don’t blame you, you didn’t remember. That doesn’t matter, okay? What matters is, you’re back, I have you.”

“Don’t you ever leave my side.” She said, hitting him softly on his chest.

“I promise.”

She pulled him in for a k××s.

“What… what about your father, how is he?” She asked.

“He’s dead.” He replied, a hint of sadness sounded in his voice. “He’s gone.”

“I’m sorry for your loss.”

“It’s okay, I’m getting used to his absence.” He sighed. “Now, you don’t have to worry about Micheal anymore. Though he hates me, but he can’t do any thing.”

Anastasia smiled, she’s been waiting for this very word. Now she can walk around the Escobar mansion without bothering about Micheal and his evil plans against her.

The smile faded.

“What is it?” He asked her.

“I’ve been waiting for this day to come, when you will finally tell me that the empire belongs to you, but… I can’t leave this business, it was a precious privilege given to me by your father. I can’t just go…”

“I can start a new business for you at New York, some where bigger and better than this place.”

She chuckled. “You aren’t gonna stop from surprising me. Thank you. Ohmm… I think I should hand over the business to Bella then. I have to talk to them.” She left him, heading outside.

She didn’t see them around, so she looked across the road, there they are, standing by the side of the road, discussing.

“Bella! Tessa! Come over here.” She said aloud.

They crossed the road, walking towards her. Anastasia was smiling, Bella and Tessa looked at each other. “Tell me it worked out.” Bella said, hoping it did.

Anastasia hugged both of them. “It worked! I remember every thing, I remember us, I remember him, and I remember you, Tessa. It wouldn’t have gotten this better if not for your help. Thanks guys, I love you so so much.” She said, hugging them more tightly.

She breaks the hug. “So, I have agreed to go back to New York with Pablo.”

“Aww. So, that’s a good bye then?” Bella said.

“Come on, Bella, it’s not like it’s forever, we’ll definitely see some other time. Besides, we have each other’s contact, don’t we?”

“It doesn’t change the fact that we won’t be seeing each other face to face.”

“Aww. I can’t believe you love me this much.” Anastasia blushed.

“Oh please, have you already forgotten what we’ve been since college? I kinda wish those moments would happen again.”

“It will, it always will.”

“When will you guys be leaving?” Tessa asked.

“Not sure yet, but I think it’s gonna be tomorrow. Since he has the empire, I doubt he’s gonna spend an extra day in Chicago. Well,” she paused, thinking of a way to start the next conversation. “Since I’ll be leaving the state, and ain’t sure if I will come back to spend a long time in Chicago, I have decided to give you two the business.”

Bella’s mouth flew open, Tessa gasped.

“Close your mouth or you will catch a fly.” She said, closing Bella’s mouth with her hand.

“Tell me you’re joking.”

“I’m damn serious, Bella, you guys deserve it. I’ve seen how zealous you both have assisted me, I’d admit, you guys are the best.”

“Wow!” Bella jumped on her, hugging her so tight. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you…..”

“It’s nothing, Bella. Like I said, you guys deserve it.”

“Hold on, don’t you guys think we’re forgetting something?” Tessa interrupted.

They moved their gaze at her, “What is it?” Bella asked.

“We’re forgetting Mr Jayden.”

“Oh, your crush?” Bella teased.

“Do you seriously have to say that so loud?”

“Yes, I do. I’m proud of you and I desperately want to see you two together, forever.”

I laughed. “You guys are funny. Well, Mr Jayden won’t be in the state from tomorrow.” I informed.

“What?” Bella snapped.

“Why?” Tessa added.

“He’s going on a business trip on behalf of his father.” She replied. “According to him, he said he’ll be back a month or two.”

“A month or two?” Tessa repeated. “That’s like forever.”

“Don’t worry, Tessa, he’s surely gonna come back for you.” Bella tapped her shoulder.

“What if he finds another love?” She asked, sounding jealous.

“He isn’t, as long as he doesn’t know Ana is leaving the state. He’s probably gonna keep himself holy, and when he returns, he’s all yours.”

“Well, I was suggesting we should throw a girl’s party tonight, just the three of us. I don’t wanna leave Chicago in regret. What do you guys think?” She suggested.

Bella and Tessa looked at each other. “What do you say, Bella?”

“Let’s bring it on.”
