Chapter 42 Anastasia's POV. "She only quitted from her job; why do you have to be so mad? Have you forgotten who she was working with before? Do you think she started working for me because of what I offered her? Do you think she's that cheap? She must have discovered one or two things about you that made her run away. You can't hide in your shells forever." Tristan, who collected my phone from me, said this to Ezra over the phone. He didn't even wait for the response, and he ended the call afterward. "Why are you doing all of this? What is your reason for doing all of these things to me? First we had sex, second you changed your attitude! Are you like that, or what exactly? Or probably you just pity me as usual." I was confused at the way he was acting towards me. I wanted him to make it clear to me again; I didn't want to have any problems with him anymore. The smell of burned food filled the air. "I'm coming; something is burning." Tristan told me, then quickly ran to the kitc

Chapter 44 Anastasia's POV. I looked so good in the dress that Tristan bought for me. "This is so fucking good! I bet that this will attract a lot of guys!" Susan said this to me, while I sprayed the perfume on my body. I bet she also loved the way that I was dressed at that moment! Tristan bought the dress for me last night; it was a very soft fabric gown with a low back. It had a slit in my mid-laps, too. I loved everything about the cloth;. It has a droopy folded design right at the chest area which exposed a little bit if my cleavages. It was just giving! The fact that it had a think strap made my skin get exposed, and I had no problem with it at all. I released my wavy hair, and then grabbed my phone. "I have to go now." I told her, while I ended the call. I took my little purse, then walked down the stairs. I saw him standing downstairs, while his eyes were on me. I walked down the stairs nervously. "I'm so sorry if I'm late." I apologized to him while he nodded, and said

Chapter 46 Tristan's POV. I saw the mark right on her neck; it was so obvious. I walked forward to her when I saw that she didn't want to answer me. My thumb went to her chin while I slowly raised it up. "Who did this to you? Who was responsible for this?" I questioned her while she just quivered in fear. "Can we not discuss it here?" She requested. Her life was literally in danger, and she is telling me about it. "Is it your father? Ezra? Penelope? Who did it to you?" There is no way Ezra would harm her like that. I think he liked her, and there was no way that he would do something to harm her this way. "No one! What exactly is it that you want?" The tears flowed down her eyes, while she hurriedly walked out of the hall. "I think that you should follow her. I don't think she is safe here; maybe you two could get to go to him." Anna told her. "Thank you very much, guys." I appreciated them, and then I walked out of the room as well. She was outside, and she almost carried a cab

Chapter 48 Anastasia's POV. "Who is there?" I heard Anna's voice right behind me, as she walked to my back. "Woah! You are here too! I didn't know that you would be with her. I saw you yesterday at the party. Furthermore, I wanted to greet you, but it skipped my mind." Penelope said this to her right in my presence. I bet the two must have known each other, since they were both Tristan's friends. "What do you mean by that? I don't have any problem with you not greeting me! We are cool. What are you doing here?" Anna furthered the question. She then looked at me, and then looked back at her. "I came to greet her." I knew she was lying. Why would she come and greet me? She was here to pick a fight, and I am very sure about this. "You can come in, and enjoy yourself." She allowed her into the house. I didn't know even know if Tristan would love them into his house this way. Lucian exchanged her greetings with her, and they all sat on the floor, including me. Everything was so awk
