Chapter 11

The shock was unmistakable on Juliette’s face. Her eyes widened, shimmering with unshed tears.“Andrew, I’m your wife, and we just got married this afternoon.”Andrew froze. Only then did he realize that he had gone too far. How could he have been so cruel to Juliette, the woman he had loved all this time?“Baby, I’m sorry….”Andrew stepped closer and bent down in front of her. He gently took hold of her shoulders and helped her to her feet.“No one has ever entered my study without knocking first.”“I’m your wife. Do I need your permission before I can enter my own husband’s study? Or do I have to make an appointment with your secretary first!?” Juliette cried out.“That’s not what I meant.”Andrew pulled Juliette’s slender body into his arms.“I came into this room because I wanted to be alone. And I don’t like being disturbed when I’m trying to have some time to myself.”Juliette frowned and pushed him away.“Did I hear you correctly? You don’t like being disturbed by your own wife

“I was kidding.” Tristan grinned broadly. “Mom was lying. I can take a shower by myself. Lily already taught me how to use soap and wash my whole body. My back is the hardest part. If I need help, I’ll call you. Okay, Darling?”Anastasia froze.The blush had not completely faded from her cheeks, but what on earth was Tristan doing now? He was slowly undoing the buttons of his shirt, one by one. Little by little, his broad chest came into view, followed by the hard, defined muscles of his abdomen. And just as Tristan reached for the zipper of his trousers, Anastasia let out a startled cry.“Enough!”Tristan looked at her in surprise. “What’s wrong, Darling?”“You can take off your trousers later. Once you’re inside the bathroom.”Tristan frowned. The face that had once always seemed cold and rigid now turned toward Anastasia with unmistakable curiosity.“Why?” he asked innocently.“Because you’re a grown man, Tristan. You can’t just take your clothes off in front of other people,” Anas

“Got it! It’s open.” Tristan exclaimed triumphantly when he finally managed to unzip Anastasia’s dress.Anastasia could only stand there, frozen.What had she been thinking three seconds ago? Had she actually been hoping Tristan would recover tonight and become the Tristan everyone knew—the cold, arrogant heir and ruthless businessman? Had she been hoping he would become a normal man on their wedding night?A chill swept through the bathroom, brushing against Anastasia’s bare back. Her face, however, was burning.She felt utterly foolish for ever hoping Tristan would return to normal. Because if he did recover, the first thing he might do was divorce her.Anastasia knew exactly where she stood.A man like Tristan would never be interested in someone like her.“Darling, what’s this?”Anastasia felt Tristan’s fingers brush against her back, stopping directly over the scar from the stitches she had received as a teenager. Almost ten years ago. The wound had long since healed, but the mar

“Mr. Tristan. Sir! Mrs. Anastasia.”Anastasia slowly opened her eyes. Who was calling her name?Her body felt stiff, and her head was throbbing with a dull ache.“Whoa…” Tristan’s groan beside her startled her fully awake.“Good morning, Lily!” Tristan exclaimed cheerfully.“Lily!” Anastasia shot upright in bed.Standing before them was Lily, the Westwood family’s senior housekeeper, wearing a warm smile.“How did you sleep last night, Mr. Tristan?”“I slept really well.” Tristan answered with a wide grin. “I’m not afraid of sleeping alone anymore because Darling kept me company last night. We slept cuddled up together. Right, Darling?”Anastasia said nothing. Instead, she frantically checked the buttons on her shirt.They were all there. Every single one was neatly fastened.Nothing had happened las

“Have you two made any plans for your honeymoon abroad?” Judith asked, prompting Anastasia to choke on the orange juice she had been sipping.“Rome, Paris, Bali. Or perhaps the private island near Hawaii that belongs to the Westwood family. When Tristan’s father was still alive, it was his favorite vacation destination.”“What’s a honeymoon, Mom?” Tristan asked innocently.“Oh, sweetheart, I’ll let your wife explain that to you, all right?”Anastasia froze.“Really? Is it something fun?” Tristan asked again, his gaze shifting between Anastasia and Judith.“Of course,” Judith replied. “Isn’t that right, Anastasia?”Anastasia felt her cheeks flush crimson. “Ah, well… it’s…”“Alright, then… let’s go on a honeymoon!” Tristan exclaimed enthusiastically.“No need!” Anastasia interjected in a panic. “I don’t think we need to do that.”Judith turned to her, a puzzled look crossing her face. “What do you mean? Think of it as a vacation. You can spend a week or two having fun together.”Anastas

“I have nothing to do with Andrew Rutherford anymore,” Anastasia declared firmly.Juliette burst into laughter, her face contorting with mockery. “You were never able to win Andrew’s heart, not even once. You chased after him everywhere, and look where it got you. He simply threw you away and married me instead.”Anastasia summoned every ounce of restraint she possessed to endure the stream of taunts spilling from Juliette’s lips. As much as she hated to admit it, there was truth in her words, and that truth still cut deep. She had spent the better part of her youth loving Andrew. In her previous life, she had even sacrificed their unborn child—and ultimately her own life—only to discover the cruelest truth of all: Andrew had never truly loved her.“I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood, Juliette. Andrew never abandoned me. I was the one who chose not to marry him,” Anastasia replied, keeping her voice as calm as she possibly could.Fate had granted her a second chance to reclaim what little

Chapter 17

Westwood Holding Company occupied a thirty-story tower in the heart of Manhattan, a city that never slept. Within its walls, subsidiaries spanning a multitude of industries operated like interlocking gears, each turning in perfect synchrony with the others to keep the vast corporate machine running.That morning, Anastasia followed Judith into the imposing building. Every employee who crossed their path immediately lowered their head in respectful greeting.Judith stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the twenty-seventh floor, where the CEO’s office was located. It was where Tristan had spent much of his time before the tragedy that left him with a traumatic brain injury.“I’ll show you your office first. Then we’ll head to the twenty-fifth floor for the shareholders’ meeting.”“Mrs. Westwood, I…”“You may still call me Mom when it’s just the two of us,” Judith interrupted.“All right. But I feel as though everything is happening far too suddenly.”“What is so sudden ab

Andrew Rutherford was stunned when Anastasia walked into the boardroom on the twenty-fifth floor of the Westwood Building that morning.Ever since the wedding reception—and the shocking discovery that the woman beneath the bridal veil had not been Anastasia—Andrew had tried calling her dozens of times, only to be greeted by an automated voicemail message every single time.Had Anastasia blocked his number?Andrew had desperately wanted to go to the Westwood residence and demand an explanation from her, but his pride and ego had held him back.The Anastasia who now stood beside Judith in the boardroom was nothing like the innocent, fragile-looking woman he remembered. Dressed in an elegant blazer and dress, she exuded confidence and sophistication.Andrew had never seen this side of her before.And yet, his heart raced at the mere sight of her.Meanwhile, Anastasia had also noticed Andrew among the attendees at that morning's meeting.Andrew Rutherford was one of the shareholders of We

News of Anastasia’s appointment to Westwood Holding Company had reached Henry’s ears.That evening, even the exquisite dishes prepared by the Laurent family’s chef failed to whet Juliette’s appetite. She was still staying at the Laurent mansion, having fled Rutherford Manor, while Andrew—rather than coming after her—had not even bothered to contact her.“I have no idea what Mrs. Westwood was thinking when she suggested Anastasia as Tristan’s replacement at the company,” Barbara remarked. The bowl of soup before her had long since gone cold.Henry had not uttered a single word since one of his associates had brought him the news through an official memorandum attached to an email. Earlier that morning, following the board meeting on the twenty-fifth floor of the Westwood Building, Judith had instructed Charles to circulate a formal notice to all partners and associates of Westwood Holding Company regarding the proposed change in leadership.“Anastasia knows absolutely nothing about run

Chapter 20

“You’ve humiliated me!”Those were the only words Andrew uttered throughout the drive home from the Laurent residence to Rutherford Manor.“You disgust me!” That was Juliette’s retort before she dissolved into sobs that only served to irritate Andrew.Before their marriage, even a single tear from Juliette—not to mention a full-blown crying fit—could make Andrew do anything for her. Andrew couldn’t understand where all the feelings he had once harbored for Juliette had gone. Hadn’t he loved her deeply? Hadn’t he married her? Then why did he feel so suffocated and oppressed now?Andrew tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The harder Juliette cried, the more firmly he clenched his jaw. He had not the slightest intention of comforting her or trying to calm her down. Instead, Anastasia was the only person occupying his thoughts at that moment.His encounter with Anastasia at the Westwood Building that morning had shaken him to his core. The woman he had met was nothing like the gentl
