Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 58

Anastasia looked at the agreement for a while before speaking. “Alastor, would you be sad if I died?”

Alastor frowned, his expression growing more disdainful. “You value your life more than anyone else.”

Alastor knew that Anastasia treasured her life more than anyone else.

Indeed, valuing her life and having her life taken away were two distinct concepts.

A prolonged silence enveloped the room as Anastasia perused the divorce agreement, and one of the terms caught her attention. “Bearing this child and subsequently undergoing a DNA paternity test. If the child is proven to be yours, the will and agreement will remain valid. If not, the divorce will proceed without any financial settlement?”

Anastasia was aware that Alastor had sought the expertise of a specialized lawyer to craft this agreement.

The words in this agreement were indeed chilling and frightening.

Alastor didn’t believe her, and he certainly didn’t believe that this child was his.

No wonder he had tried so hard before to persuade her to have an abortion.

It turned out he wanted to know whether this child was really his.

“Dare not?” Alastor asked sarcastically.

Anastasia was gripped by a searing pain in her chest, an intensity so overwhelming that it verged on numbing. Her thoughts raced, ‘I don’t dare? How could I not dare… But why does this pain feel so agonizing, so suffocating?”

Anastasia’s voice trembled as she asked, “Why should I give birth to a child to prove anything to you…”
