《Anaya》Chapter 1

Advertisement

It didn't take long for Anaya Brooks, now Anaya Alexander to grasp the overall situation she was in after rebirth. She was now the newborn daughter of her best friend Callier Regan. Now known as Callier Regan Alexander after her second marriage to Damien Theador Alexander, one of the most influential individuals in A country. He was so well known in the business circle that she had known about him in her previous life.

However, Anaya Alexander had no clue on why she was born with her past memories intact or why she was specifically born as her previous life's best friend's daughter. Hence, for now, she gave up on thinking too much and adapted to her current circumstances as a mature woman who had lived twenty-eight before. If God was giving her a golden finger by letting her keep the knowledge she had learned for two decades, who was she to complain?

In this new life of hers, there was quite a lot that had changed. Though Anaya Alexander used to be an only child in her previous life, now she had two older brothers, both of the age of eight. These two children came from Callie and Damien Alexander's previous marriages.

Her eldest brother was Owen Michel Alexander. Son of Damien Alexander and his ex-wife Thea River. He had inherited his father's outstanding facial features including those deep blue eyes and dazzling golden hair. In fact, Owen Alexander would be a miniature replica of Damien Alexander if not for the fact he always wore a plain white T-shirt with Basketball shorts, holding a black basketball wherever he went. However, even with such boyish clothing, it did not minimise at least a bit of the extraordinary charm and elegance the eight-year-old naturally had in his bones.

The middle child of the Alexander family, just because he was born two months later than Owen Alexander to his displeasure was Ethen Caleb Alexander. He was the son of Callie Regan Alexander and her deceased first husband Jason Regan. Ethen Alexander inherited his mothers Ash blond hair and gorgeous hazel brown eyes from his deceased father. Anaya Alexander couldn't help but sigh at the irony of her new life. The tiny little brat she used to tease and play around with had now become her big brother. Anaya Alexander knew very well how much her son meant for Callie Alexander. After all, the amount of love Callie Alexander had had for her deceased husband Jason Regan was not little.

Callie Alexander married Jason Regan at the tender age of Nineteen with the opposition of her parents and everyone around her. This was due to as they all felt it was too early for them to marry.

Even Anaya Brooks herself had doubts first. After all, Callie Alexander was considered a Teen at that age, while love between two people could always change. However, Callie Alexander shook off their protests and eloped with Jason Regan.

Well, she basically dragged the man to elope as Jason Regan himself was an orphan hence having no one to oppose this marriage for him. Callie Alexander only came back to her home country after having Ethen at the age of twenty-two. Which grandparent could resist a chubby little grandson who was extremely adorable with his excellent genes? None. So the drama concluded very quickly as they accepted Callie and Jason Regan wholeheartedly as a family.

Within the next two years, Callie Regan became a top fashion designer who was sought after by every top celebrity worldwide. At the age of twenty-five, Callie Regan was a winner in life, not only she had a successful career, but she also had a happy family to top that.

Yet in life, not everything would go in the way it should be. And sometimes happiness does not last too long. Hence fate once again decided to be cruel and took Callie Regan's beloved husband's life after a tragic car accident.

At that time, it was as if Callie Regan had broken a piece of her heart that could never be mended. Anaya Brooks was very clear about how the only reason Callie Regan held on was because of her son Ethen.

Her son was barely four when he lost his father, hence she had to be there to protect him. Knowing her child needed her, she refused to give up her life. Plus, even when Ethen Caleb was a small child with not much understanding at that time, he knew to give his mother a hug, whenever he saw her looking at his dad's photo smiling. In this way, both mother and son survived through their hard times.

Back in the present, what thoroughly confused Anaya Alexander was how her best friend had never mentioned anything about Damien Alexander before. After all, even though they were both extremely busy while living in two different countries, they always communicated through video calls every week without fail.

The only reason why Callie Alexander was not beside her in her last moments was that no one imagined she would die within a week. Plus, right after Callie Alexander got to know she was in a critical state, she had booked a flight to fly back.

Though she could not fly back right away as A country had heavy storms cancelling all flights in and out. It was mostly as if God was playing a cruel trick on them. This made Callie Alexander curse and cry nonstop on video call still trying hard to smile through her tears not wanting Anaya Brooks to feel bad. So for Anaya Brooks who had been reborn, she had spoken with Callie Alexander a day before her demise.

But this confusion did not last for long. When one day her new dad, Damien Alexander carried her to the Tv room trying to put her to sleep while watching international news, Anaya finally understood. She was only reborn two years after her death. What Anaya Brooks had felt as mere seconds had been complete two years in reality.

After getting to know this information, she then made the calculations. Callie Alexander had married her second husband a year after Anaya Brooks death. Her new baby self, Anaya Alexander was born within the first year of their marriage.

From Damien Alexander's tales about Callie Alexander, Anaya understood how Callie had been in a very bad position after her death. It had taken Damien Alexander a massive amount of effort to court her.

Anaya knew about Callie Alexander better than Callie herself did. They were closer than real biological sisters. She comprehended from Damien Alexander's tales that one major reason for Callie Alexander to agree on this marriage had always been to half cover up the pain in her heart and to distract herself.

To Anaya's surprise, Damien Alexander understood this, yet loved Callie Alexander even more. Knowing there was a fragile side of this usually strong and stubborn woman. This made Anaya Alexander like her new dad even more. Because for her, Callie Alexander was one of the most important people in her previous life.

Anaya Alexander's new dad, Damien Theador Alexander, was extremely doting towards her. The first thing the man did after returning home after work was to freshen up in a rush and run into Anaya Alexander's baby room before doing anything else.

As an adult reborn woman, this of course annoyed Anaya Alexander at first. But after some time, she got used to herself being a baby and grew to love and respect the stoic yet silly man as her father. Damien Alexander always reminded her of her previous life's father, who used to be cold faced yet extremely doting towards her as well.

Whenever Damien Alexander carried Anaya downstairs, he would repeatedly show off all their wedding pictures hung on the stairway and talk about his first encounter with Callie Alexander at a Charity Gala many years back.

According to Damien Alexander, he had instantly fallen in love believing a goddess had descended on earth. Yet sadly before he even had the chance to strike up a conversation, Callie Alexander had disappeared soon after.

He never forgets to mention how much he loathed the people who had stopped him to give regards making him unable to go straight to his goddess. He even mumbled on how he even thought of bankrupting those people's businesses if not for his upright mind. Yes, despite Damien Alexander's icy demeanour to the outside world, he was a silly and funny man in front of his daughter and wife.

So continuing the story, when Damien Alexander suddenly noticed Callie Alexander drinking alone in a bar two years ago, this time he had right away taken the chance to approach the beauty. He had pursued the stubborn Callie Alexander for several months before he had managed to get a word out of her pretty mouth.

Anaya Alexander couldn't help but giggle at her silly father whenever he mentioned the hard times he had. Knowing Callie Alexander's personality, she knew he must have suffered a lot.

After all, that time, she was certain Callie Alexander must have been in pain after losing another person close to her heart. Anaya was truly grateful for Damien Alexander meeting Callie, letting the newly broken heart mend.

And this sweet giggle of his daughter caused Damien Alexander to swoon as he loved nothing more than to receive his cute little daughter's smiles and giggles.

Even though a normal newborn would take at least three months or so to properly smile and giggle, Anaya Alexander managed to do so in her first month itself. Although it was something amazing for a small child to do, this rapid growth made both parents anxious.

After all, they both had children before Anaya Alexander, and they knew for a fact that their daughter was learning way too rapidly. Both parents were worried whether this might affect Anaya Alexander in some other way.

So they took Anaya Alexander to the hospital many times for repeated checkups by specialists. Only after all the specialists confirmed their child was healthy and this progress was not harmful to the infant were they rest reassured.

Anaya Alexander herself had no clue on what was all this fuss about as she had never taken any interest to keep up any knowledge on the growths of infants. After being taken to the hospital for check-ups several times, she understood what was wrong.

This made her wonder if she should do nothing at all and be more restrained. However, being a baby was extremely boring. The only tasks she had was to eat, sleep and poop on repeat.

Hence she threw away the thought of being restrained and decided to move forward as much as she could. After all, the most extreme circumstances she would get into because of this would be getting herself being considered a genius or a child prodigy. Thinking this way, Anaya Alexander once again relaxed, not bothering to think too much.

One more thing Anaya Alexander got to know within the first month of her new life was how her father Damien Alexander was still good friends with his ex-wife, Thea Rivers.

So when one day a Raven-haired supermodel-like beauty came to her room and started swooning over her, Anaya Alexander was extremely confused. Cause so far, her overly overprotective parents never allowed any strangers to come near her. Other than Callie and Damien Alexander, her two elder brothers, only the main butler and his wife, aunt Lue who was her nanny was allowed.

Behind Thea Rivers, both Damien and Callie Alexander were present.

"Thea, meet my angel, Anaya Alora Alexander. And my baby angel, this is Thea Rivers, your older brother Owen's mum. She's a good friend of mine and we do business together. You can call her Aunty Thea."

Introducing who this beautiful woman was, Damien Alexander spoke. It seemed as if he never realised how his introduction was unnecessary for an over one-month-old infant.

This made Anaya Alexander not being able to hold the urge and roll her baby eyes causing Thea Rivers to laugh out loud exclaiming how cute this baby girl was with those big round eyes.

Well, of course Anaya Alexander understood everything her dad said as she was already twenty-eight in her soul. But in actual reality, she was just a month old baby, so she really shouldn't understand.

Even though she decided to progress faster, that did not mean she was stupid enough to act overly bright. That would bring too much trouble. One-month-old baby knowing and understanding language, even the tone of such a sentence sounded ridiculous.

Poking Anaya Alexander's soft cheeks Damien Alexander carried on with his introduction.

"Damien honey, I don't think Anaya will understand even if you introduce them like it's a business meeting."

With a helpless smile on her face, Callie Alexander spoke stretching her hands to carry Anaya out of her crib. Sigh. Thank you very much bestie. Tell your silly husband what's right. Sigh.

Anaya Alexander couldn't help but sigh inwardly at her dad's silliness. How could a business tycoon well-known as cold and aloof be this shallow? She really did not know.

However, his wife's remark didn't make the man back down at all, rather Alexander could hear Damien Alexander mumble how he knew his baby could understand every word he said. Maybe she should act a little dumb the next time he held her?

This event made Anaya Alexander decide to be more careful with her actions in front of her father. After all, someone ordinary would not have the ability to be a business tycoon plus hold up the humongous Alexander empire by himself. She knew very well how her dad was way too smart and could easily catch on to things fast.

"Aww Callie, she is just so beautiful, look at these pink cheeks, so cute."

Carrying a goofy smile on her face Thea Rivers caressed Anaya Alexander's chubby little face. At that time, one thing Anaya Alexander never realised was how this beautiful woman would be another individual to dote on her just as much as her parents do.

Being the smart little angel she was, Anaya Alora Alexander had everyone in the household right under her little chubby finger even before she reached a full two months of her new life.
