16 Paradise Beach (1/2)

”Nothing” Li Shen and Ji Qiang both answered at a time. Anna could only sigh.

”The rain has stopped let's go” Li Shen pulled Anna.

”Thanks for the offer Mr Ji we'll get going.” Anna said plainly and left with Li Shen.

”What's your problem with him?” Anna asked buckling her seat belt.

”He's annoying.” Irritation was written all over his face.

”Say's the one who's even more annoying” Anna mumbled to herself.

”What did you say?” Li Shen asked sharply.

”Nothing. You're right he's annoying, now let's go.” Satisfied with the answer Li Shen pulled the car to driveway. Anna shook her head at his childish nature.

Next day Anna got busy with all the meetings. Tomorrow she had to go back to S city Anna didn't like the thought at all.

In evening Anna freshened up and changed to white knee length dress. She decided to go for sight seeing and unfortunately Li Shen couldn't accompany her as he is busy. Googling some of sight seeing places Anna decided to go for Paradise beach which was an hour away from the hotel. Night time in beach is something Anna fantasized about so taking her things she left for the long drive.

Soft music was playing in the car and Anna's mind was occupied with thoughts. Most of them are of her family, her real family.

Anna's life was not easy as well. Her father was cheated by his best friend in business when she was seven years old. That betrayal cost a lot for her family. Anna's grandpa always thought her to be tough, never to yield against your enemy more importantly never to trust anyone. All thanks to her past which made her even more tough and bold.

After a long drive Anna reached Paradise beach which truly holds up to it's name. The glowing blue waters at the shoreline is a spectacular view at night.The beach is decorated with golden series light. Opposite to the sea is Paradise resort, which is the most attractive place in that city. Paradise resort has 7 star classification, with 80 Rooms, 6 restaurants, Lounge Bar, Discotheque, Banquet, 7 conference halls, swimming pools, Spa, Water Sports, all Indoor & Outdoor Games. It also has private Villa and cottages for VIP and VVIPs. The lodge amazes with its ultra-modern design mixed with traditional touch. Whole in all the place is amazing.

Removing her high heels Anna walked on surface of shoreline playing with water. Not far from her place she saw a beach side destination wedding. Music was on blast making it as a mini DJ night. Anna saw the newly wedded couple smiling from ear to ear. Next to it an aisle was decorated for night wedding.

Anna smiled but it was bitter smile. The scenario bought a bitter past of her.

”You look absolutely stunning V.” Anna grinned looking at the mirror. Vivian shyly hit her younger sister and turned to her mother.
