Ulrick Pov

I was dumped with work. Papers are scattered all over my desk. Yet my eyes are conscientiously scanning the file that is held in my hands. I read through the contents carefully so that I didn't miss any of the information. But much to my irritation my attention deviates to the knock at the door and my secretary Nancy stuttered in. "Sir we left no stone unturned to trace him out but he was found nowhere. Probably he left the country." She whispered with anxiousness marked on her face.

There was a blaze of fire that immediately peregrinated my blood as soon as those words were let out but keeping my face phlegmatic I nodded and dismissed her to arrange for my company's next shareholders meeting that was to take place within half an hour.

Why the hell is this Robert all the time on my nerves? I've been keeping an eye on him since the time Uncle Alijandro left the business but the asshole clerverly slipped from the eyes of my men. Nevertheless he is soon going to repent for his actions. I am going to make him pay for what he has done. Call it my determination to protect the Saints or for my unsaid love for Anastasia.

I eased out of my leather sofa and sighed - another day to pass by with her in my thoughts. Putting my hands in my pant pockets, my legs took me to the large glass window of my office which had a picturesque view of Miami city. Lighting a cigarette I let a puff of smoke out of the window when my phone rang. Who could be calling me at this busy morning hour?

I pulled out the device from my pant pocket to have a look at the caller-id and my lips stretch in happiness. It was a call from my mother. "Hello beautiful Son" she called me in her usual angelic voice that could instantly brighten my day but destiny had something else planned. Within seconds my features changed from rejoiced mode to burning fury. I answered an affirmative and my hands moved to the intercom placed on my desk. "Nancy! Get my private jet ready to leave for Denmark tomorrow morning at 6'0 clock sharp and don't forget to cancel all my meetings for the next two days."

"But sir....you... you" she stammered trying to make a sentence but words couldn't come out any further when she looked at the blazing anger in my eyes. "Cancel all my meetings Nancy." I held finality in my voice.

Chapter 2

Ulrick POV

I got up early to catch my flight to Denmark. Somehow I have this gleeful feeling - an anticipation of seeing her. It's been four long years since I last talked to her. That winsome smile adorned on those captivating pink lips always causes my heart to skip a beat. There were many times I called her just to listen to her melodious voice but couldn't dare to express my feelings to her. As soon as I would hear her soft tone, I would disconnect the call.

Our parents have been family friends since long. Uncle Alejandro had always seen me as his son. In such a situation how could I afford to develop feelings for Ana? Anastasia ruled my heart since the time I attained my puberty. Nobody can or nobody will take her place in my kernel. But the only glitch here is she will always be my secret love.

Today finally I'm going to meet her again and the feeling makes my heart go dancing like a little boy who is going to receive his Christmas gift. Would she still remember me?

Though I am a thousand miles away from her, I watch every move of her to ensure myself that she is safe. Call it unconditional love or stupidity, I am not sure. Because the reality is I wouldn't be able to breathe in peace without seeing her even for a day. She is my love, my spirit, and my angel.

A few months ago I almost met with a heart attack. I was watching her like always through my CCTV. She doesn't know, she is 24/7 in my radar. One of her friends invited her to a party and a boy tried to exploit her. Unquestionably through my men I shred that muck to a rag and no one knows about it to date.

I booked the flight to Denmark on the same day to pursue the matter. Ana is my family and I spare no one who dares to touch her happiness.

Taking leave from work even for a day is nearly impossible for me as a CEO. There are thousands of families depend on Hazelwood Group of Industries. Getting into my private jet I opened the laptop. Soon her beautiful face came into view. I placed her picture as my computer's wallpaper so that I don't miss her.
