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 I’ll 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.
‘I 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?
– ‘I’ll kill you if you try to take my son away from me. Hatred was evident in Anastasia’s
reply.
‘I 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 I can control this character well, I 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.
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.
