Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Elliot brought Anastasia to the break room. Her eyes were welling up with tears and every time she thought about what her father was going through, her heart throbbed with pain.

He wrapped his arms around her and gently wiped away her tears.

“I’m sorry,” she said, turning to look at him. “I really don’t wish to get engaged at the moment. Can we postpone it?”

“Sure,” he said, nodding. “Don’t rush. It can be done after your father wakes up.”

When she heard that, hope filled her heart. That’s true! When her father was finally awake, she could select a new date with her father for her engagement to Elliot.

In Elliot’s eyes, postponing the

engagement party made no difference. After all, their relationship had progressed so much that it felt like they were already married. The engagement party was merely a ceremony to him.

No matter what happened, he would never abandon Anastasia. He would always protect her and stay by her side as they weathered troubled times together.
