A light of dawn seeped into my room.Deep down I knew there was never a night that could defeat the morning sun.I got out of bed and starred directly at what seemed to be small panoramic windows.Wait a minute,these windows didn't seem familiar.I looked around the room and clearly I was in the wrong one. It had more of an aesthetic,credence and bohemian kind of vibe.Was I in hell?''Oh lord,please take me back,''I said out loud.But if I were in hell,were those really the right words to use?I quickly walked to the crypt old wooden door hoping that it would be my way out of this nightmare.Holding the curly tail door handle,I was determined to run and never look back.Without struggle,the door squeaked and I pulled it further to let myself out of this misery.Well,or so I thought.This may have been the worst mistake I had ever made.
Why on earth was my father's face right in front of the room I found myself in?This was no coincidence,the person who brought me here knew exactly what they were doing .There and then I knew that this was all Alexander.I decided to walk further in the hallway and see what my new so called ally had planned for me.The hallway was full of portraits of different people of both genders.There was nothing but portraits in the long, dark ,cramped windowless and gloomy hallway.I felt lost,alone and afraid.My heart was filled with terror but I had no idea of what exactly to do.At some point ,I wished that had I told someone about my suspicions.Lonely Anastasia,always depending on herself no matter the situation.After a few minutes,I heard the creaking of a door.I looked back and a lady dressed in a silk dark blue jumpsuit was walking towards me with two armed men beside her.The faces seemed quite familiar as they moved closer.Then I recognized the face behind the silk wear.It was...It was...''VERONICA!''I exclaimed.Wait were these the two men who were at my doorstep the previous night.
''Anastasia,please listen to me.I can explain this to you if you just give me a chance,''hesitantly, Veronica spoke.''Listen to you.Can you really hear yourself.All this time I believed in you Veronica.You gave me hope that maybe the world wasn't such a bad place.I can't believe that I have fallen into this trap for about a month now.Who sent you to spy on me?Or are you also interested in the Dior's nasty affairs,so you set me up the stupid ,helpless and lonely girl as bait.You know what,I don't even want to know.Please just let me go home.NOW VERONICA!!!''
''I'm sorry Anastasia,but I had a job to do.I can't explain this further,it's below your authorization level.''
''Your job?Our friendship was all part of your plan right .Wasn't it Veronica .WASN'T IT?Would you please just get me out of this pit hole you call a house,''angrily,I replied.''Welcome to the FBI TASK FORCE Anastasia,your training shall soon begin.We shall keep in touch.These two men will escort you back home.Yeah,and don't utter a word of this to anyone.I trust that you can keep such a secret otherwise you'll end up hurting people you love or will have loved by then.You should have never filled out that application form,this is all on you Anastasia.Or is it Anastasia Dior?Take her home,she has work to attend to''.
As I walked away,my body felt weak and my heart heavy.I wished I had never met Veronica,gotten that job or written that stupid application letter.But mostly,for some reason I missed my father.Life had become more complicated without the man around.
The sound of a hooting car brought me back to consciousness.The men left me at my doorstep exactly where they found me.On my right hand,was a hand-written note.
" Thank you for your co-operation Anastasia. Welcome to hell once again.Love, Veronica."
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I let myself into the house.As soon as I opened the door,I couldn't tell if my tears made my vision blurry or what I saw was real.But if they weren't,I would have rather spent the day with Veronica.
