Chapter 10. Anastasia's POV. I waited in the office as Tristan commanded me to. He told me not to leave my office. "Why would you want to bring a child into the office? Do you know what the world might say?" I heard Penelope's voice as she followed Tristan into the office after a few minutes. I saw Tristan holding my kid's wrist. "Mummy!" Ashley removed her hands from his grasp, and she ran towards where I was giving a very huge hug. "I really miss you, momma." Ashley gave me a huge hug while I was sitting. I noticed the two friends had stopped arguing. It turned out they were staring at me. "You see? Why do you always like this whenever you are around her? I have always been the one protecting your reputation ! This is how you repay me?" Penelope shouted at Tristan. How is he whenever he's with me? Does she even know what she is saying at all? "This is not about repaying, and who told you she was staying in my office?" "This is my business, not yours. I also hate it whenev

Chapter 12. Anastasia's POV. "You have been released from here. Thanks to the accuser who changed her mind." The policeman informed me after I spent a few hours in jail. "Thank you very much." I told him, then walked out of the Station. My mind went to my daughter immediately. My phone isn't with me, and I wondered what made me forget the phone in Ashley's hand. "I was waiting for them to release you, they did already." The lady whom I stabbed with a knife walked up to me, jolting me from my thoughts. "Seems like you really want another stab!" I threatened her. "Then no one would be able to save you this time around, no amount of money will make me change my mind." She stated. What does she mean by that? I looked at her in a confused way. "Someone paid me a very huge amount of money, so I will take back my statement. For me to accept that offer, you should know the money should really be a big one." She explained further. I guess she must have noticed how confused I was. "Do

Chapter Fourteen. Anastasia's POV. Tristan looked at me and then at my father, and immediately my father said it. "Uhm, it's nothing much. We are kind of related, so I just want to see her for a few minutes." My father told him. I was already expecting him to deny me, especially in front of Tristan. He wouldn't want to spoil his reputation in front of the person he adores so much, he must've seen me as a daughter to run away after getting pregnant. More like a slut. "You can go listen to whatever he wants to tell you. I don't care about the type of relationship you two have." Tristan said this to me, then walked away, leaving me at the door entrance. He entered the lift right in front of me. I walked back to the office and closed the door, leaving my father and me in the room. I crossed my hands, waiting for him to start talking bullshit. "Woah! I thought I warned you that I didn't want to see you around this place anymore. What are you still doing here?" My father queried me, w

Chapter 16. Anastasia's POV. She looked around with her hands on her chin, trying to give me an answer to my question. "The least thing he could do is to fire you. Then, before he figures out, you can have the opportunity to start working at Ezra's company." She answered me. Yeah, I understood what she was trying to say. I don't know why I am scared at the same time, even after knowing the least thing he could do was to fire me. Why do I have this feeling that he could something more than that? Oh, no! I should stop being delusional. "How has been your boss?" She asked.me. "He is cool, very cold-hearted, and sometimes he might get to show how much he pitied me, which I really hated." I explained to her while she just chuckled. "Mummy! Please, can you buy this for me? I really love it." She pointed at a gown. "Sure, anything for my baby." I told her with a wide smile on my face. I made sure the cloth fitted her perfectly, and it did. "Is there any other thing you want? I would

Chapter 18.Anastasia's POV.I woke up in a very strange environment, and I wondered how I got there. I tried to remember what happened last night, but I couldn't. Furthermore, I walked out of the bedroom with my short dress on, exposing my bare legs."Where is this place?" I asked myself, looking around. I tried to figure out where I was, it looked so fucking familiar.It was then that I saw Tristan come out of a room. It was then that my eyes opened widely. How the hell did I get here? What am I doing here in the first place?He was covered in blood, it looked like he just killed someone. I staggered upon seeing him. I became so scared. I realized I was in his house."What the fuck! Don't tell me you killed someone. What is that blood? You look scary right now." I screamed and almost ran out of the sitting room, but the door was locked.I turned back and could feel someone strangling me. Who the hell is this?"Please let me go." I struggled to say it, but his grip became tighter."L
