Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 9

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?

How sensible must I be to become the perfect wife in Alastor’s heart?!

With a hint of irony in her smile, Anastasia looked up at the sky.

As it turned out, being a wife required her to be entirely sensible and tactful, while being a lover meant she could act

without restraint.

It was clear whether he loved her or not.

Anastasia took a picture of the airport and posted it on Instagram with the caption: [The grass is not greener here. Miss home, miss you.]

Anastasia posted this for Felicia to see.

She assumed Felicia wanted so badly for her to leave Hork.

Based on Anastasia’s understanding of Felicia, the latter would undoubtedly be eager to assert her ownership over Alastor.

To Felicia, sharing an intimate moment with Alastor on his and Anastasia’s bed must be something worth showing off

To Anastasia, however, she found it gross.

It was very disgusting.

Suppressing the nauseating sensation in her stomach. Anastasia got into her best friend’s car.

“Anastasia, you hadn’t dealt with Alastor and that cheap woman yet? If I were you, I would have torn them apart and caused a scene at their company.” Kimberly was still furious, finding it hard to eat or sleep these days.

She was worried about Anastasia.

Anastasia removed her sunglasses and gazed out of the window. Her voice sounded somewhat feeble. “Causing a scene at the company would lead to divorce. It would provide them with opportunities and give Alastor a reason to blame me for not being sensible. How could I let them off so easily…”
