Chapter 40 Tristan's POV "What do you mean by that? I am not in contact with my mate. Are you lying to me now?" I asked the lady whom my mom brought me to, the other day. I wanted to see the witch and ask her a lot of questions. After Brianne got to use her powers on me in the morning, there was no way I was going to miss work, knowing fully well that I was okay. After I was done at work, I decided to go to her place. It was in the evening already, so u had enough access to the place. I realized I had been sick, and it was something that barely happened to me. I decided to ask her myself after I recovered. I wanted to know if it was a normal sickness or if it was my destiny that was coming into manifestation. "I don't know about that also! With what I saw, you would be dying very soon. You might not get to figure out who your mate was, but according to what I saw, you are in contact with her." The witch informed me. I rubbed my head in frustration after hearing what she said. Wh
Chapter 41 Anastasia's POV. I was surprised when he asked me about the reason why I got my tattoo; there was no way I was going to lie to him. I have always avoided this question all of my life; I didn't want him to know the reason why I did it. I walked up to where he was. I knew I had been treating his very cold ever since we had sex. I was just thinking that he was going to treat me the way he did last time. I wanted to avoid him by all means, but I felt like I shouldn't do it again. "It was my dad." I informed him after taking a glass of the liquor that was on the bar table. "What did you mean by that? Your dad abused you? No one was there to protect you." I could feel the ounce of pity in his voice. How many times did I have to tell him that I hate it when people give me that kind of look? I really hated it when people pity me. "No! He didn't abuse me. He let it happen to me. My parents didn't like me from the start because I have always been that stubborn girl. You know,
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 43 Tristan's POV. My mom and I were discussing after she settled already. "You didn't tell me that you were coming. Why though! Are you taking me somewhere again?" I queried her. I would love for her to inform me that she was going to come before coming. What if she didn't meet me at home. "She is really beautiful! Did you know her before she started working for you?" My mother questioned. "I would love to request if it would be possible for you to go out together with me." I requested her; she looked so confuse "I mean, that there would be a party that would be happening soon. I don't know if you will have the time to follow me to the party. You know my condition of not being able to fight out my mate. So, will it be possible for you to act like my mate just for that day? I want to avoid the scolding from the elders by all means." I explained everything to her with the hope that she was going to do i Only for her to say something else, "I would think about it, I am no
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 45 Anastasia's POV I looked at Ezra, who was right behind me. "Are you supposed to be here? What are you doing in the lady's restroom? You should get out now." I whispered while he chuckled. "I have been looking for you. I tried calling you, but it turned out that you were not even picking up my calls. What have I done exactly?" He questioned me. "Can we get to speak outside? Don't you think that it is inappropriate for the both of us to discuss here?" I couldn't even focus on what he was saying. "I would get to talk with you later. I have to go now." He excused himself while I took in a deep sigh. I was so happy that he had left already. What was Ezra doing here? I was so happy that he didn't even get to spend a lot of time with me right in the restroom. If someone saw us, and then took a picture, I could tell how badly it was going to cause a stir amongst the people in the city. "You two are acting like couples, when you are not even couples." I heard another voice, an
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 47 Anastasia's POV. I woke up that morning feeling so tired. I remembered how much I cried last night, and I think that was the cause of this headache this morning. I remembered what happened between Tristan, and me last night. I struggled so hard to remember everything. It was so pleasing for me. There is no way my boss would love me. I still wasn't sure if he meant that statement that he made yesterday. I had yet to tell my friend about it. I wondered what was going to be Susan's reaction once I could get to tell her about it. I brought out my phone, and the first thing that I saw was the trending news. "It was said Tristan must have been in a relationship. He was caught kissing a female right at the roadside." That was what the headline in the news said. My hand quickly went to my mouth in shock. My face wasn't completely shown, but I was sure that was me in the picture. "Why would I allow him to kiss me by the roadside? I'm sure I wasn't drunk." I dropped my phone in
