Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

In a panic, Leah pulled her phone out and dialed her mother’s number. She shouted into the phone the moment her mother picked up. “Mom, tell Mr. and Mrs. Manson to come over right now! Nigel is proposing to someone else in the hall!” Leah was close to stomping the ground with rage. How can this happen? Who’s the woman he’s proposing to? Where’s she from, and what’s her background?

Meanwhile, Elliot, who was standing on the stairway of the second floor, fixed his cold and sharp gaze on the woman on stage. He was hoping for Anastasia to surprise Nigel with a harsh rejection. Elliot would never allow her to marry someone else, after all. He felt a strong urge to dominate and gain control over the woman as he watched the proposal happening. I want her. I don’t care if it’s because of my grandmother’s orders or the fact that her mother saved our family; I want Anastasia anyway. I wasn’t sure about my feelings in the past, but everything is clear now. I’m certain that she belongs to me.

While all of this was going on, Harriet walked out of one of the private rooms just in time to see Nigel’s proposal. Harriet’s eyesight wasn’t the best, so she had to ask the people around her about it. “Who’s the one making a marriage proposal on the stage?” she asked.

“It’s your grandson, Nigel, proposing to some girl!” a guest replied.

“What? Which girl is this?” Harriet squinted to get a better look. The woman on stage seems rather familiar… Is that Anastasia? Someone gave Harriet the answer then. “Your grandson is proposing to Miss Anastasia.”

“What?” Harriet was too shocked to move. “Is that Anastasia?” What’s going on? Elliot’s the one who should be proposing to Anastasia! Why is Nigel the one proposing? Hayley was somewhere in the crowd, and she watched the entire situation with a look of disbelief on her face.
