Ana's POV

I'm so exhausted today. I had so many manuscripts to read. By the time I left Grey Publishing, it was already 8 PM. I checked my blackberry but there was no messages or call from Christian, that's strange because he would never miss messaging or calling me at least once in a day. Maybe he is busy, I'm going home so I will talk to him. But still I could not put away the feeling that something is wrong.

It was around 8.15 when we reached Escala. Sawyer dropped me near the lift in the underground parking. When I was waiting for the lift to come, I noticed a unknown car standing in one of the spot of Christian's personal garage. I think maybe its Ryan's or Reynolds's. So I went inside the escalator and put in the code. Then the door closed.

I reached the penthouse but there was no lights. Well that's strange. Everyday Mrs. Jones keep them on. Maybe she is out. I see that Christian isn't home. So I call him then I hear his phone ring somewhere in the apartment. I go in search of the sound and it leads me to his study. When I go inside, his mobile is on his table but he is not there. So I go in the direction of our bedroom. I stop in my track when I hear some moaning sounds coming from inside.

No,No,No, this can't be happening. Christian would never do that to me.

Tears started rolling from my eyes. And my vision blurred. But still I held myself together and burst inside the room. What I saw made my heart stop. There he was, my husband having sex with that bitch troll Elena in our bed. I screamed 'No'.

They both towards me and froze. Christian was shocked to see me. We stared at each other until the bitch cleared her throat and said 'I will you two alone.'

She grabbed a robe and walked outside. Before leaving, she gave me a sadistic, triumph smirk and left the room. When I turned towards Christian, he was pulling up a pant around his waist. I was still frozen in the entrance and stared at him.

'Ana -'

'Why' I whispered in a low voice. But I know he heard me.

He sighed and said, ' You won't like the answer.'

'I don't care tell me.'

'Because you were not enough. You didn't -'

I woke up screaming and sweating. It's been two years since that awful night and still I can't forget what happened that day.

My brother, Alex rushed inside my room. He switched on the lights and came to me and pulled me into a hug. I couldn't stop my tears which turned into a full blown sobbing. I held him tightly.

'Shhh An, stop crying. Everything is going to be alright.'

I couldn't stop so I told him, 'Just hold me.'

He held me until I stopped. Then I went inside to bathroom wash my face. When I came back, he was still there.

He said, 'I can't see you like this. I really wish I could take your pain away, An. It kills me to see my sister suffering like this.'

'I'm going to be alright, Alex. Stop worrying about me. I'm just stressed, that's why I had a bad dream.'

'Don't lie to me. I know you are not fine. Its been two years and you are still suffering.'

'I'm trying but it is so hard for me to forget it.'

'Did you talk to Dr. Shepherd?'

Dr. Shepherd is my therapist whom I have been seeing every Wednesdays for past one year.

'Yes. But he said that it will take time for me to completely forget it. It's not a simply thing to erase over night. He even said that if I have to forget everything easily then I have to move on with another man. But you know I can't bring myself to fall in love or be in a relationship ever again.'

'I know, sweetheart. But I can't see you suffering like this. It's not just me, even dad, mom, Ray and Ash are worried about you.'

'I will be fine. Tell them not to worry. I'm sorry, I woke you up again.'

'I wasn't sleeping. I was working.'

'You need to stop working now and go to bed. You look so tired.'

'I will. But tell me, are you okay?'

'Yeah I'm okay.'

'Okay then you go back to sleep. I will go to bed.'

I nodded my head. Then he kissed me on the forehead.

'Goodnight An.'

'Goodnight Alex.'

And left the room. I laid back on the bed staring at the ceiling. I was in a penthouse apartment which I shared with my twin brother, Alexander Lambert. A brother I never knew I had until 2 years ago. I thought I was an only child and my real father was dead, all my life but I was wrong. My life changed since the day I moved to New York.
