"Ella, my office, now." I said.
"good morning Ella."
"good morning Mrs. Andrews."
My name is Natasha Andrews and I'm a multi-billionaire businesswoman, I have a dozens of companies working under my name, my fake name.
"Ella, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Tasha?"
"you're my boss." Ella said .
"and your best friend." I continued.
"you know what we'll discuss this later, tell me what do we have today," I said and the look on Ella's face is not a good one.
"About that," Ella said but hesitated to continue.
"what is it?"
"do you remember the medicine factory that we were just about to buy?" Ella said.
"what about it?" I said still looking on the papers on my hand.
"Someone bought it," Ella said and I looked at her.
"Who?" I asked
"Erik Refused to tell us," Ella said.
I dialed Erik's number, he answered after the third ring.
"What the hell Erik?" I said and added some anger to my voice.
"easy Tasha, easy, don't judge me quickly," Erik said with the calmest voice in the world and that made my blood boil even more.
"then go ahead and talk." I said
"someone paid me more."
"who would pay you more than 3 million dollars for an old and destroyed factory." I asked him.
"his name is Charles Salvator, the man is a billionaire and he paid me 6 million, and I__
I ended the call, and fear crept into me I looked at Ella. "what is it?" Ella asked, "Tasha, what is it?"
"he's back," I said, my voice was shaking.
"he's...your father." Ella came to the conclusion.
"Hey, hey Tasha look at me maybe he doesn't know, maybe it was just a coincidence." Ella tried to make things better for me but they just turned worse.
"It could never be a coincidence, he knows everything and he bought the factory as a message for me." I started crying.
"Maybe if you tell him he'll understand your reasons."
"Ella you don't understand, my father is a heartless monster, he will show me no mercy for faking my death."
"Tasha, he can't judge you just because you wanted to escape a world filled with pain," Ella said to me.
"yes, yes he can and he will because he is Charles Salvator," I explained to Ella, and after a while, I calmed down and let Ella go back to her job.
5 years ago
"Natalie, 3 Am, we'll be waiting for you." the other line said to me.
"Yeah, don't worry," I answered.
I ended the call and got my bag ready because today is the day I turn my back to this world once and for all.
my big brother has been murdered because of the fight between my family company and the other companies, and I don't want to be next in the line so I decided to run away.
I went to some of my trusted friends and they agreed to help me fake my death in a car accident, I will leave my father, mother, second brother, Little sister who is always jealous of me, and my fiance his name is Alexander.
"Natalia." speak of the devil and he appears, Alexander has arrived.
he knocked on my door "come in" I said.
"did you miss me?" he said and came sat beside me.
"Nope"
"Liar"
we went out to a carnival all of us, me, Alexander, my father, my mother, my sister. and when it was midnight, we were on our way home in the car.
"so I was looking online for a place for the wedding, and I found three options. " Alexander said with all the joy in the world.
"and they are?"
"option one on the beach, option two on a garden, option three on the yard of our villa, which one?"
"if it was between friends, on the beach but if it's going to be big so the yard is the best option."
"the yard it is." he smiled
I felt bad for doing this to him but if I look at this marriage from the right angle, my life would be just the same, married to the son of the great businessman, no thank you.
I looked in front of me and saw a truck heading toward us. "lookout." I screamed.
I closed my eyes and screamed but then I felt nothing.
I opened my eyes a little my vision is blurred and then I heard someone calls my name, I felt myself being pulled out of the car, then I passed out again.
Present Day
"Mrs. Andrews there is a very handsome man here, and he wants to meet you," Ella said and I laughed then answered, " let him in."
I was looking at new york city from my window.
I turned around but froze as soon as I did because right in front of me was Alexander.
"Hello, Natalie."
"I have to admit it when my sister told me that you're alive, I couldn't believe it," Alexander said to me but I was still too shocked to say anything."you thought you could just hide forever, start some fresh life," Alexander said and I met his gaze."I" I wanted to say something, anything but couldn't find anything to explain myself, I always thought about the moment my father finds me, but I never thought about the moment when Alex will ever find me."How could you? you tricked all of us, you did something none of us ever thought you had it on you." Alexander said his voice is filled with hurt."I had my reasons," I said."you had your reasons, what reasons on earth would make a human fake their death?" he asked."fear, fear from death, fear from a dark life, fear from a life filled with pain," I said, my voice was shaking but I pulled my self together.Alexander seemed to think about it but before he could say anything, Ella knocked on
"you wanted to talk so talk," I said."you're the last person to give us orders, you manipulative__ " Emily Alexander's sister said and I interrupted her and threatened "hey did you forget that you're in my house, so you better speak with respect or else."Emily was about to talk again but her father held his hand and shut her up, before they could talk my phone rang I picked it up and it was jake, my husband, I answered it."baby," I said and everyone looked at me with wide eyes."Babe, hi how are you!" jake said."I'm fine, when are you coming back?

"Shhh, I'll remove my hand but you won't scream, if you do the consequences will be bad, " Alexander said and dug the gun more in the back of my head."you understand?" Alexander asked.I nodded my head and he slowly removed the gun and his hand away."Why are you here? and what did you do to Jake?" I asked my voice is shaking but I didn't care."I'm here because I want to be here, and your precious Jake has gone to the lab that was set on fire," Alexander answered and started exploring the room."what do you want?" I asked."who is Jake Andrews?" Alexander asked while looking at a photo on mine and Jake's wedding."you want to convince me that you couldn't know who he is?" I asked humorously."I did my research and found that he is a billionaire businessman," Alexander said and sat on a chair beside the bed."then why are you asking me?""because sweetheart I need to know how did he become a billionaire," Alexan
I woke up on the sound of heart monitor again, I recalled everything that happened, the note, gas bombs, getting shot. I looked around me and found Alexander sitting beside me and I tried to sit up but Alexander stopped me immediately."stop, Natalie don't move, don't push your luck. " Alexander said."what are you doing here?" I asked Alexander."I saved your life, after the shooting I brought you here," Alexander said."Jake, Nick, Eleanor where are they?" I asked."The brothers are nowhere to be found, and the little girl is with this Ella of yours, " Alexander answered."thank God," I said."now do you believe me? do you believe that your husband is just as dirty as us? " he said and took a lock of my hair in his hand."That depends on who's us, " I said.Alexander laughed and said "me, you, your family, my family, every single one of us is dirtier than the other, ""then why save me?" I asked and
"All this time, I thought it was a car accident, " Danielle said while she was crying."Yeah, me too, " I hugged her, for the first time in five years I hugged my sister again."we'll make them pay, right?" Danielle asked and looked at me like she used before, the look of believing in me as a big sister and I nodded and hugged her again.I waited until Danielle calmed down and slept, I went to the balcony and dialed ...after the fourth ring he answered and I said " can we meet?"I went out and headed to the park and waited, 10 minutes later Alexander showed up and sat beside me."you were right," I said and fought back the tears that threaten to fall."About?" Alexander asked."He killed my brother, Alex, he killed my big brother, Jake killed him," I said and cried.Alexander looked at me and anger and saddens were obvious in his eyes and I got up and started pacing around."It hurts, it hur

"Detka," I said baby in Russia and continued "Roman wasn't even with you, ""He was your father's man wasn't he?" Jake asked and looked hurt.

I remembered who told me this... Nicholas, I looked at Jake and asked "why did you kill him.

I asked and Danielle answered, "he is still asleep.", I went to Alexander's room and sat on the bed."Alex, ""Hmmm,""Alex get up, " I said and he didn't answer, I looked around in the room and found a water bottle, I went and opened it and emptied it on Alexander.he got up gasping and coughing water out of his mouth and I couldn't help but laugh, he said "Chto za chert " what the hell in Russian."you had it coming, the next time I ask you to wake up, you wake up, now come on let's eat breakfast, " I said and went downstairs.we ate breakfast and went to our meeting room, to see what we got from Aria's phone."so Danielle what do we have?

This Chapter contains violence read at your own risk .have you ever died more than once? I know it's impossible for you but not for me because I died three times, the first time I died was when they took my brother away from me, the second time I died was when I left my loved ones, and now I died the third time, it feels like your soul is being pulled out of your body, or maybe it feels as if someone is holding your heart in his hands and in one move they ripped it out of your chest, I watched my loved ones being exploded in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything, I guess this is the benefit of living in a world like mine because this is what always happens, I watch my loved ones die.I cut my ropes and got up and sent my punch straight to his jaw, he fell to the ground, and I suppose we were alone here because no guards showed up.he got up and I stepped back, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw my right fist out i
