Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 39

During their four-year marriage, Anastasia had given up on everything to be Alastor’s dream wife.

Before getting married, he asked Anastasia what she wanted.

Anastasia said that she only wanted a home.

Alastor did give her a home and a safe harbor, as agreed.

But for the sake of their home, Anastasia nearly gave up everything she had.

She had thought that giving up on something would be directly proportional to getting another thing.

It turned out that was not the case.

During the four years with Alastor, she almost forgot what her true self was like.

Anastasia was pathetic, poor, and pitiful. She had nothing but Alastor.

Because Alastor didn’t like her to appear publicly, her art exhibition was a charity event. She donated her paintings to maintain Alastor’s reputation.

She seemed to have nothing but the supplementary card given by Alastor.

Alastor canceling her card at this time was like putting her life on pause.

He wanted Anastasia to know that she was nothing but a pour woman without him.

As Steven said, the Lawson family was a group of beggars that took money from others, like bloodsucking bugs.

Pain filled Anastasia’s heart as she nearly lost her balance. Her vision went black, and she had difficulty breathing.

Anastasia took out her phone agitatedly and called Alastor.
