Chapter 24 Anastasia's POV. I was done with the shoot already. Susan had already left after telling me she needed to attend to something, which I understood. I thought he was going to wait for me and regret firing me. I waited by the side of the road, hoping to see a cab that I would be able to take home. Not only that, but I would have loved to order one, but the network isn't going through. It was late in the silence, and the street was very silent. It was also cold since I was putting on the dress I used for the shoot, and it was a little bit revealing. I remembered how uncomfortable I felt when Tristan walked into the room. I never imagined he was going to walk into the room, to be very honest. I was very nervous, he must have been thinking wrongly of me. I saw some guys walking towards me from above. "Hey! Young lady. You look so beautiful." One of the guys said he was touching my shoulder. I moved back to avoid problems. I have been seeing a lot of cases of girls getting
Chapter 25 Anastasia's POV It was the weekend already, and I decided I was going to his house to give back his suit to him. "I will be back soon! I quickly want to attend to some things." Anastasia rubbed her child's head and walked out of the room. Ashley was together with Susan. "You can spend as much time as you want outside; I will be at home throughout today." Susan laughed at Anastasia. I then nodded and walked out of the house. I took a cab to Tristan's house. Furthermore, It had only been there three weeks before I got fired by him. It was so painful for me. I rang the doorbell, but there was no response. "Where could he have gone to?" I asked myself, and I then opened the door to his house since I knew the passcode. I remembered what he told me the other day; it turned out he didn't even bother to change it after he fired me. Furthermore, I just wanted to drop the clothes that were placed inside a carton on the bed, but not until I got distracted by his picture that
Chapters 26 Tristan's POV. I could smell her immediately when I entered the house. "Did someone break in? You locked the door." Torry said this to me after I saw the box that was placed on the chair. He was the new personal assistant I got; it was Penelope who helped me find him. I didn't care about him. I hated the fact that he was too clingy, and he was always trying his best to get me to like him, knowing that I didn't give a fuck about that. Whether I like him or not is irrelevant to me. All I needed to do was focus on something else. I didn't reply to him the way I have always done. "Don't open the box; what if something dangerous is there?" He asked when I tried opening the box that I saw on the chair. I knew who entered my room from the scent already. She must have been here because the scent was still strong when I walked upstairs to my room. I knew she was in the room when I walked in. I gave in to exhaustion and decided to take off my clothes. She did not seem like s
Chapter 27 Anastasia's POV. I reached my house in no time, as my back landed on the couch. "What happened? You looked so stressed out." Ashley asked, touching my cheek. "Your mom is okay, dear." I answered her as I pulled her in for a very tight hug, and she wouldn't stop smiling. I love her so much. "Have you eaten already? "I hope you are okay." I asked her, and as I touched her hair, her hands immediately got off my cheeks. "Yes! Aunt Susan cooked for me." She wouldn't stop smiling. Her smile gave me this kind of joy that I cannot explain. Everything about her was unique. I didn't even know how I was going to explain it. Most of her features were from her father, I am very sure about that. "Hope you don't show people how strong you are? You know you are not supposed to do that." It has been a long time since I asked her to confirm the instructions I gave her. I didn't want her to get bullied by any kind of student due to her strong power. She is so unique, so I needed her
Chapter 28 Tristan's POV. I got home feeling frustrated, it was already evening. I decided to do something at work. Furthermore, I ate at a restaurant before coming home. I got several annoying calls from Tory, I wonder where she got him from. I might get to fire him sooner or later if he continues to act that way. I took the wine that was in the bar and sat on the bar chair, thinking about what had happened in the morning. "If I wasn't destined to be the Alpha! Will this happen to me? How will I be able to retain my position if I am like this? How will I be able to retain my position if I am cursed not to see my mate?" I asked myself while pouring the glass cup inside my bottle. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was just coming from the witch my mom took me to, she told me that I was cursed and that there was no way that I would be able to find out who my mate was. It was so mad that my mom didn't allow me to listen to what the witch had to say. I knew she didn't want to
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
