Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Anastasia did not realize how she reached home. When sitting on the couch, all she could feel was her cold, numb limbs.

Snowball meowed and came over to nest on Anastasia’s lap as if it was trying to help her warm up her stiff body.

Gazing at Snowball in her embrace, Anastasia chuckled. “I still have you with me Snowball”

As she spoke. Anastasia got all choked up. “I only have you now”

She had lost everything. All she had left was Snowball to accompany her.

Snowball was most likely the only emotional support that kept her going

After turning on the heater. Anastasia nestled by the ceiling-to-floor window and read her diary entry of the past.

Whenever Anastasia was shaken up, forgetting the past temporarily would become her go-to choice. That was her protection mechanism kicking off

However, the diary re-awakened Anastasia’s memories and ignited her sorrow.

“Anastasia, what kind of house do you like?”

Jace had once asked Anastasia what type of house she adored.

“A stand-alone, quiet one with front and back yards. Also, it’s better if it comes with ceiling-to-floor windows, a wall-mounted stove, bloomed flowers in the courtyard, and a cat. Our home should consist of you, me, and our kitty.”

Anastasia could barely remember what state of mind she was in when she wrote that sentence.

That was all six years ago.

Too many things were forgotten.

“Meow” Snowball had a sharper sense of hearing than Anastasia. It darted over the instant she heard movements at the door.

As expected, Alastor came back.

Every time he came home, he was always tired

Seeing Snowball pounced at him, Alastor did not respond.

In the past, he would always pick Snowball up and gently comfort its head, even if he had to pretend to do it voluntarily.

At present, he even found putting on an act to be laborious.

“Did you call the police to get Meredith arrested?” The first thing Alastor did upon stepping inside was interrogate her.

Anastasia closed the diary, put it aside, and rubbed her eyebrows. “Are you planning to open a harem now? You’re even sticking your nose into Sienna’s matter.”

Alastor approached Anastasia and eyed the diary Anastasia put aside. “Just because Sienna showed me your diary and exposed the indecent acts between you and Xavier, you’re getting back at her and Meredith?”

Anastasia took a deep breath, her gaze landed on the diary.
