A few days later...

Anastasia POV

"Happy Birthday Anastasia!"

I froze on my doorstep when my wife and kids surprised me with a cake and balloons, I smiled softly and my wife approached to hug me

"Happy birthday love"

Y/n says then I cupped her cheeks then pulled her in for a kiss, we then heard someone clearing their throat so we pulled away

"Happy birthday Ana"

Nadia says and hugged me, I did the same and my daughters kissed my cheeks then wished me a happy birthday

"Mother, make a wish"

Victoria says then lit the candles on my cake, I smiled warmly and closed my eyes to wish that my family would be alright

No negative thoughts just think positively.

I opened my eyes and blew the candles making them clap their hands happily, Y/n held my hand and dragged me towards the dining area to eat cake

"Love, you're really old"

Y/n laugh out loud then I chuckled and kissed her forehead

"I love you, Anastasia"

Y/n says then when I was about to say I love you too I felt a presence. I looked around for a bit and furrowed my brows

"Victoria, will you check who's outside right now?"

Victoria gave me a nod and Dawn followed her, we decided to continue celebrating my birthday

Victoria was taking quite a while, I didn't bother to ask because the two is already grown up

"Anastasia, I love you and I wish you... us the best"

My wife says and I smiled softly and I let her cup my cheeks

"I-I..."

I couldn't say it back, all of a sudden I felt really scared. My heart was pounding and my palms were getting cold

"Anastasia?"

Y/n asked and held my hand, I looked around once again and let Y/n's hands go

This feeling... it's too familiar.

I ran towards the door and slammed the door opened and I froze on my spot

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Celeste asked chuckling and when she turned in front of us she was at a loss for words

"Ma... Mama?"

Celeste mumbled and that woman smiled softly

"Celeste baby, come here"

"Mama!"

Celeste ran towards her and hugged her tight while tears were streaming down her cheeks

It wasn't those brown eyes anymore, it was red with a hint of gold. I gulped nervously when our eyes met

"Y/N!"

Nadia shouted and pushed Celeste and cupped her cheeks to see if she was really true

"Nadia, I missed you"

Y/n says and kissed Nadia's cheeks

"H-How? How are you alive?"

I asked stammering and she... I was the only one she was cautious, she hissed and I bit my lips suppressing  my tears

"Y/n... it's me, A-Anastasia your wife, love do you remember me? Us? why is it only Nadia-"

"Anastasia, what's the meaning of this?"

I turned around and froze to see my current wife
