Chapter 2：Chess pieces

Anna opened the door to her office and left it open for Sarah to follow inside. Sarah locked the door and entered.

Anna saw the paper on her couch and sighed at her recklessness.She took it and folded it into a small square quickly before Sarah noticed.She placed it in her drawer.

As she took out her new and appropriate outfit from her closet inside her office she started the conversation. " Are you ready for this?" Anna asked.

Sarah nodded."You trained me well, It would be a disappointment if I'm not prepared." Sarah responded confidently. Anna smiled in satisfaction. "I might not be the most affectionate person but I really do care for you and I'm proud of the woman you have become." Anna told her sincerely.

Sarah hugged her and let a tear fall from her eye."I will forever be grateful for what you did for me. Thank you for being there." Sarah started sobbing in her arms. Anna chuckled and patted her head. "So show me. If you are really thankful I want you to give it your best." Anna told her and Sarah nodded as she wiped her tears away.

"Alright, now go I'll meet you downstairs. We will be leaving in an hour." Anna told her and Sarah left.

Anna sighed and took off her suit jacket. Wearing only her bra she placed her hand on her flat tummy and smiled. "I'll probably have to say goodbye to the excitement of fighting for the next 9 months." She murmured.

"How do you think your daddy will react?" Even though she was technically talking to herself she felt like she was talking to her future child instead.She felt so nervous at first. Questions like Will I even be a good mother? We're only normal. Now she couldn't help but imagine what her child will look like.

What eye color will he/she have? Afterall Damon has green eyes and she has bright blue eyes.

So many questions…

She sighed and put on her black tank top.She put on her bullet proof vest and made sure to dress appropriately so that she could comfortable fight in her clothes.She equipped herself with a gun and her favorite knives.

She wiped all makeup from her face and put her hair in a perfect ponytail.

Once she was done she came out of her office.

Anna walked down the hall and entered the meeting room. They spent their time discussing their plans. Anna and Damon would glance from each side of the room but they made sure to act professionally.

" Sir we are safe but I suggest we move to another location tomorrow before they track us down." Kenny sat down on the sofa and his lips twitched. "They weren't able to track us down for 2 weeks, don't let your guard down and make sure we are guarded 24\7." He ordered.

He looked at his suburnate and smirked. "Did you find out who is attacking us?" The man nodded at his questions. "Yes sir. Just like you suspected Miss Long is indeed still alive."

"Hmm, tell the men we send to infiltrate her base to set up the bomb." Kenny sneered and gently moved the glass of wine in his hand. "S-sir apart from that I received some new information from the men we infiltrated." The man told him.

"Continue." Kenny told him. The man looked at his boss and sighed in relief seeing he is in a good mood. " Your niece has been adopted by Miss Long and we received a report that she is the one who set Mr.Collins free from Miss Linda's control.Not only that but she has Miss Linda and your sister captured.

THe wine glass broke." Why didn't you inform me earlier!" He roared. "S-sir back then you thought she was dead so you told us to focus on controlling the Ross Empire."

BANG

One bullet penetrated the man's head and his blood was plastered all over the floor and wall. "Useless trash!" Kenny roared and threw the gun across the room.

" Sir! Our men are dead. There is a large force surrounding us!" A bulky man came inside the room. Nervousness visible in his eyes. "F*uck All of you are uselesss How did you let them enter without any warning! Fight them off!" He shouted in anger.

" We can only attempt to escape; they have already surrounded us" The bulky man responded. Kenny was too prideful for that.Last time he barely managed to escape if he tried again his pride would hurt. How come he can't fight against a damn woman?

Only if she dies will he finally get the Ross empire in his hands. It took him years of scheming and lots of patience. It even took him two life times. He felt so angry. This one person kept spoiling his plans over and over.

Damon Collins!

In the last life and now in this one. As if being able to create two life times were not enough he had to deal with the same man again.

Remembering the bloody scene in front of him on the last moments of his first life he clenched his fists. Determined to not be defeated again he ordered his men to fire back intensely.

The sole purpose of this has always been revenge. If Anna were never born his life would have been that of a normal kid. Unfortunately since little he was raised to defeat Anna. His mother had already set a legacy for him to follow and he would do it at all costs all to satisfy his mother's wishes.

As the years went by it turned into something more and he simply wanted to be on top.Knowing that a woman would always be superior to him angered him to the core. He was determined to destroy anything that has to do with her. Even to the point where he used his own sister to accomplish his goal.Sister? Annie and Kira had never been people he cares about. They were only chess pieces in his eyes and now that they are useless then he will look for new ones.
