Night of Destiny

During the night, Anastasia accompanied Jared until he fell asleep before she returned to her own room. As she lay in bed, she kept having flashbacks of what happened before an electrifying sensation ran past her body.

How is this even possible? I’ve been avoiding men and any physical contact with them other than occasional contact with Nigel after what happened five years ago, but it’s strictly platonic between the two of us, so why did Elliot manage to arouse me? Is it because he’s way too charismatic? No. That’s impossible. Elliot is Hayley’s man, and Ill never allow anyone with any association with Hailey to touch me again.

On Saturday morning, Anastasia woke up and checked her phone instinctively to see if she had any notifications before she noticed a message from an unknown number. Initially, she thought that it was a spam message, but the content of the text made her sit up abruptly in shock.

‘l was the man from five years ago. Why didn’t you tell me that you gave birth to my

son?”

Upon seeing that, Anastasia had her face go pale as she stared at the message in shock before her mind went blank.

How is this even possible? How did the man from five years ago find out about Jared? Did Hayley or Erica tell him about it? Nevertheless, the thing that she was the most afraid of was finally happening. The bast*rd was finally showing up to steal Jared.

Hayley must have been the one who told him about it! Since she arranged everything in the first place, she must have stayed in contact with him.

Still, Anastasia forced herself to calm down before replying to the text message. ‘I don’t know what you're talking about. You got the wrong person.

Anastasia Tillman, you better listen to me if you don’t want me to take your son away from you, or I'll definitely take him away.

She felt a murderous intent rising when she saw the man’s reply. How dare a person who had committed a crime try to snatch my son away from me?

— ‘Tl kill you if you try to take my son away from me. Hatred was evident in Anastasia’s reply. ‘| want you to meet me at my appointed place, or you can just wait for your son to be snatched away from you!’

Jared was Anastasia’s biggest weakness, and she'd do anything for him, including risking her own life. Since the b*stard of a man finally appeared, there was no way for her to avoid him even if she didn’t want to meet him.

“Alright. I'll meet up with you.’ Anastasia replied to the message.

At the same time, Hayley, who was in her luxurious mansion, smirked evilly when she read Anastasia’s reply to her. The show just started. As long as | can control this character well, | can get Anastasia to do anything due to her fear of losing Jared.

Despite that, Hayley still had another plan for tonight.

On the other hand, Anastasia had been in fear and anxiety the entire day. After that, she contacted Francis to get him to come over during the noon to take care of Jared because she needed to go meet that man.

Anastasia really hoped that Jared would have a great father, but the man was an a*shole. After settling Jared down, she checked her phone to see an address as well as a message from the man. ‘Be here on time. If you refuse to come, I'll make sure you pay for it.

Around 5.30 PM, Anastasia took a cab to the agreed meet-up location. Since she wasn’t sure about the precise location where they were meeting, she got down from the cab around the agreed meet-up location before realizing that she was in a remote alley with no people there. Right when she wanted to ask the man about his whereabouts, a person suddenly covered her mouth from behind before she inhaled the drugs that caused her to faint.

Immediately, Anastasia was dragged inside a van before the van drove away, revealing a sports car behind it, while Hayley, who was in the car, sent a message. ‘Send her to the appointed hotel.

Then, she contacted Alice to make sure that she had done everything from her side as well. “I told Chairman Morris to meet me at the hotel room at 10.00 PM tonight. Are you sure that Anastasia is going to be there?”

“Don’t worry. Anastasia is in my hands right now, and I’m sending her to the room for Chairman Morris to enjoy later on.” Hayley smirked because her plan was progressing smoothly, as she would be able to get the footage of Anastasia and Ben Morris tomorrow morning. Once she played the footage during the awards ceremony, everyone would know that Anastasia won by getting into Ben Morris’s bed.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

By then, she would surely lose all her credits and become the laughingstock in the field. Even if Elliot were to try to help her out in Bourgeois, Anastasia would still be humiliated and wouldn’t be able to make a comeback anymore.
