Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 9

After ending the phone call with Sienna, Anastasia called Alastor again.

“Darling. I fell asleep on the plane. Mr. Lexington urgently summoned me over. I was angry at that time and forgot to inform you. I’m sorry, and I’m already in Atharia.”

Over on the other side, Alastor had investigated Anastasia’s itinerary, finding out that she had indeed gone to Atharia.

“You’re angry?” Alastor’s voice was very low and sounded a bit weary.

Anastasia’s decision to throw a tantrum and travel to Atharia while turning off her phone clearly infuriated Alastor.

“Should I be angry? I didn’t take it to heart.” Anastasia said sensibly. “We can talk about it when I get back.”

“Okay, I’ll pick you up at the airport when you come back.” Alastor then hung up the phone.

Staring at her phone screen, Anastasia fell into a prolonged silence. She wondered, “Why does it feel like I’m the one at fault?
