Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 64

When the clock finally read 4.30PM, Anastasia grabbed her purse and left the company 10 minutes earlier than usual, hoping to flag a taxi downstairs by the pavement. However, for some reason, there were no taxis driving past the area.

She was just about to walk over to the bus station nearby when a gleaming black Rolls-Royce pulled up next to her soundlessly. The driver’s side window rolled down to reveal the man behind the wheel, and he was eyeing her with his piercing gaze as he said, “Get in.”

Anastasia waved her hand to dismiss his offer. “No, thanks.” She would much rather take the bus.

Just then, the man stopped the car and opened the door. He got out of the vehicle and walked up to her, though she wasn’t sure what he was planning to do.

Before she could react, the man opened the car door on the passenger side before reaching out to deftly grab her by the wrist. Then, without another word, he shoved her into the passenger seat.

“Hey! I will not be sitting in your car, Elliot!” she snapped at him, having never encountered a man as boorish as him.

He ignored her, and after seeing that she had reluctantly settled into her seat, he closed the door and pressed his key. He had locked the car door, and now that Anastasia could not escape, she watched with wide eyes filled with despair as the man rounded the car to slide into the driver’s seat. Then, still paying no mind to her accusatory glare, he elegantly started the car and pulled away from the curb.
