I wouldn't say Christmas was horrible, but it most certainly wasn't good. I could not have been happier to be around my family, if anyone was still upset about my leaving they hid it well. Of course the most surprising news was Ana's engagement. If she thinks she's happy so be it. I can't obsess over her, yet here I seat doing just that. I thought the faster I jumped into work, the faster I would get over this emptiness I feel. I talked to my mom about it, after all it's the reason I left in the first place. She said what any mother would say, settle down , start a family, enjoy my life while I'm still young. I completely understand why my mother wants me to settle down. Elliot has Kate and Mia has Ethan, but I have no one. If I really wanted to settle down I guess I could have stayed with Ashley, I just didn't feel as if I was one hundred percent, head over heels in love with her. Maybe I'm just destined to be by myself, with only the memories of the truest love I've ever had. Or maybe I'm meant to fight for her, I just don't see the point in that. I fought for her, I cried for her yet she still moved on. Around lunch time Andrea informs me someone is here to see me. I don't have anything scheduled, and this spikes my interest even more. I give Andrea the okay to let whoever it is through. To say I wasn't expecting the person that stood before me in my office would be a understatement. I don't see this visit ending nicely.
"With all the wedding planning, how do you find time to visit me. How can I help you Adam." I stand behind my desk and put my hands in my pockets. I don't know what Adam wants and I really don't care.
" Ana told me you were back, so I just thought we should have a talk." He crosses his arms over his chest.
"And what do we need to talk about?"
"I won't drag this out, I know you're a busy man so I'll just say this once. Stay away from Anastasia." I almost want to laugh.
"Adam, is it a reason you feel the need to keep me away from Ana."
"My reason is simple, I know you love her but trust me the feelings are not mutual. Ana loves me, so much that she agreed to be my wife. So, whatever feelings you have for Ana need to end today."
The nerve of this man is astounding. Anastasia can lie to everyone and maybe even fool herself into thinking she doesn't love me, but I know better.
"Adam in all honesty, I don't fucking care if she agreed to marry you. Anything can happen between now and your wedding."
" That's just my point. Anything can happen, after all accidents happen everyday. I would hate for something to happen to you, or worse to Anastasia." I think I'm hearing things, He would never do anything to Anastasia.
"If that's your idea of a joke, I don't find it funny."
"It's not a joke at all. You see Christian, I love Anastasia with all my heart, and I could never live without her, I guess what I'm saying is, If I can't have her, no one can." I might have finally gone crazy, this man standing in front of me can not possible be the nice, sweet guy everyone has come to know and love.
"I don't know if you took your meds today, but you sound fucking crazy."
"Well love does make people a little crazy I guess. I just thought I should warn you"
"If you think I'm not going to tell Ana about this you're crazier then you sound"
"By all means Christian tell her. She'll think you're just jealous and trying to ruin her happily ever after. Besides who do you think she'll believe? me; loving, caring fiance or you ; cheating ex boyfriend, who disappears for months at a time." I know I haven't been the best friend to Ana but surely my word is just as good as his.
"Adam, if you value your face, I advise you to leave before I beat it to a pulp." I make sure he knows I mean every word I say. The smug little ass hole smiles and turns to leave.
"Oh Christian I almost forgot, I'm sorry about the pictures" I furrow my brow in confusion. " you know the ones Jose took. I was cleaning the apartment when I accidentally got bleach all over them. Like I said sorry." By the time he leaves I'm beyond pissed. What gives him the right to come into my office and threaten me? And if he ever lays a figure on Ana, I'll kill him. If he thinks for one second this is over he is highly mistaken.
"Andrea, get Welch on the phone, tell him I want anything he can find on someone named Adam Stevens." I need to know everything I can about this man before i let the love of my life marry a fucking physco like him.
