Chapter 29 Anastasia POV. I just came from the outing with Ezra. He decided to drop me off at home. I was still stunned by the question he asked today. *Flashback.* "If I may ask, who is the father of your child?" He blurred out his question without hesitation. I was just there, wondering why he would ask me that kind of question. "I don't know what you are talking about. Why would you ask, though?" I tried changing my topic entirely. "Your child is a werewolf?" He said to me, while my eyes slowly went to Ashley, who was still licking the bowl of ice cream that was at her front. "That is not possible. I... I..." I stuttered, remembering the kind of power that my daughter has. Is that what made her different? "I don't know the father of my child. Can we not discuss this here? I feel like they are too personal." I requested, and he respected my decision and my choice. That is another thing I like about him. The fact that he didn't bother to question me afterward. "So, are you g
Chapter 30 Tristan's POV. *THE NEXT MORNING* It was on a Sunday morning, so I needed some things to do. I walked out of the room, so I could attend to some things. I saw Penelope at the dining table, arranging the food she had prepared for me. Furthermore, I didn't even know she was going to cook for me that morning; I totally forgot that she was even at my house. "Good morning, Tristan! I hope you slept well." She asked me with a very huge smile on her face as she continued to arrange the dining table. Did I sleep well? I remembered the question I asked myself last night. Was it possible to fall in love with someone you don't love? "Yes, I did." I lied to her and started eating her food. Why did her food remind me of Anastasia? Why the hell do I get reminded by her? I know Anastasia is really a good cook. I've been missing her food these days. "What happened? Is the food not okay?" She asked out of concern when she saw that I was no longer eating. "The food is okay. I just
Chapter 31 Anastasia's POV. I was so surprised that Tristan would want to see me. I wondered why he would want to see me. That was the first time he would tell me something like that, except for the time we were both working together. Ezra needed to attend to something, so he told me to go home very early. I am so happy that I got to be treated that way by him. The people at his office were also very kind, unlike those at Tristan's office. I went to the location that he sent to me. There is something I got to realize about him, and that is the fact that he loved simple things. That is really the most perfect thing about him, after his looks. That was the only thing we had in common: our love for simple things. Starting from the set-up of his house down to how his office looked, everything was just unique and good at the same time. His style was unique, showing off the minimalistic part of him. If I had an office, that was the same thing I was going to do to my office. Unlike Ez
Chapter 32 *FEW WEEKS AFTER* Anastasia's POV. I noticed that things haven't been going really well for the past few weeks. Ashley was with Susan's family. She would be staying there for a while. Susan was transferred to another house entirely; her house was given to her by her company. It will be collected sooner or later, so I needed to do something about it. I got to my workplace that morning. I wanted to enter Ezra's office, but not until I heard him talking with someone. Furthermore, I didn't want to eavesdrop, but it seemed like a very interesting topic that couldn't be avoided. "I just need to get Tristan out of the picture. I am currently using a girl who was close with him. I think Tristan likes her, so it will be easy to use her against him," I heard him say over the phone. He wanted to Eliminate Tristan. He wanted to use the person he loved also? Is it Penelope? I knew he wasn't in love with Penelope, so who was he talking to? "She is working for me right now. I succe
Chapter 33 Anastasia's POV. I got to the address where I told him to come and meet me. It had already been up to 30 minutes, and he hadn't arrived yet. Maybe he isn't going to come. I was already losing all my hope. I looked at the time again, and then grabbed my handbag. It was then that I saw him entering the restaurant. I became nervous only in his presence. I held my head so high, so he would not consider me as someone who was weak. He walked to where I was. "Good evening." I greeted him, and he did the same too. I called the waiter. "You can order anything you want; the bills are on me." I said this to him, while he smirked. It was so obvious that he did it. "I am on a calorie deficit, and I already ate above the normal calories I was supposed to eat each day." He made it clear to me while I nodded. I felt embarrassed by what he said. "Okay then. We can continue our discussions." I said to him. "I didn't say we shouldn't order." He interrupted me, and then I laughed sof
Chapter 34 *Few Days After* Anastasia's POV. I went to Tristan's house during the Weekend. He said that was the day we were going to sign the contract. I already packed my luggage, since he told me that we were going to resume on that particular day. I was prepared for whatever he had in ground for me. I knew he was going to help me in any way that he could. I walked into his house, and the first person was the guy I saw that day. He hadn't even changed his passcode. I didn't bother to ring the bell, since I entered using his passcode. "Who are you? How did you come in without ringing the bell? Are you his girlfriend?" He asked me, while I just scoffed. Why would I be his girlfriend? "Who are you, please? I am Tory," He introduced himself while I squinted my eyes. "You look so familiar." He clapped his handsome after looking at me in a weird way. He is really weird, and I don't know the reason why he was acting that way. "Yes! I remember. You were the lady who came here the
Chapter 35 Penelope's POV "What do you mean at all? Do you even know what you are saying? How could you say that she is living with him? Why didn't he tell me about it?" I groaned in anger after he told me, that Anastasia was living with him. How could she do something like that? She is so shameless? "Get out of here!" I shouted at him, and he did immediately. What the heck is Tristan up to these days? I'm so happy Tory got to figure out some things this time around. I am very sure he would have kept it from Torry, if he wasn't in his House that day. He had been keeping a lot of secrets, which was so annoying. Tristan wouldn't even want to share a secret with her personal assistant; that showed that he doesn't trust Torry, knowing fully well that I found him as his personal assistant. I actually looked for someone who would be able to report Tristan's doings to me; that was the only way I could get closer to Tristan. That was the only way I could know if he was interested in any
Chapter 36 Anastasia's POV. The fact that she called me a maid was still in my mind; what bothered me more was the fact that he heard about it, and he didn't even bother to say anything about it. He should have defended me or something! There was no way that he would actually be supporting her. I was so happy when I saw the way Penelope was mad. It gave me this kind of joy that I couldn't explain. I loved seeing her jealous. It was in the evening already. I cooked for him, together with my daughter. I didn't feel like eating, but I was still going to take a little bite from the food we cooked. My daughter sat on the dining table with him, and he didn't even complain about it. "Why are you not eating? You should sit down and eat." Tristan told her. I chuckled slightly upon hearing what he said. "I will watch you eat." I told him while I scoffed. He didn't say anything further. "Always let me know anytime she comes over. Don't let her insult you that way, either." Tristan told m
