Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 48

Zeke was extremely anxious as he grunted and let out cries.

Anastasia didn’t want to guess; she figured he was probably cursing again.

“Take good care of him. Don’t let him die.” Anastasia stood up and said that to Amanda before leaving.

Zeke whimpered and hit the bed with his only movable arm. There were tears in his eyes. No one knew if he was guilty or just frustrated.

However, that didn’t matter to Anastasia; her family was the source of her misery.

“After I die, he should live in misery. Living is more agonizing than dying,” she thought.

Harold’s whispers sounded in her mind. “Annie, don’t scream. You’re not a little girl anymore. You’ve probably had boyfriends, right? Let me touch you. Just for a while…”

“Dad… Help me! Get out of here!”

It was truly ironic and pitiful how Anastasia was sexually assaulted in her own house while her parents were sleeping next door.

When Anastasia got back home, her hands had lost their sensation. All she could feel was severe numbness.

Whenever she went back to that house and saw Zeke and Meredith, she would feel numb and uncomfortable all over.

There were certain wounds that she would never be able to heal and forget. They were akin to a branded mark that would grow deeper over time.
