Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Eyesore

Anastasia stared at the man that was worried about her. “Does my character matter to you that much, Elliot? I’m not married to you, so it shouldn’t matter to you even if I screw myself up.”

Then, she turned around and wanted to leave, but her arms were grabbed by the man before he pushed her against the wall within the next second while his handsome face met hers in proximity.

There was anger in the man’s eyes as he sneered, “Looks like I’ve overestimated your capability, Anastasia.”

“Let go of me, Elliot. You a*shole!” Besides what happened that night five years ago, Anastasia had never been in such close proximity to a man.

She moved away in disgust when the man’s scent entered her nose. No matter how handsome Elliot was, Anastasia was disgusted by any men who had ever touched Hayley.

On the other hand, Elliot was stunned for a few seconds when he got closer to Anastasia as her scent reminded him of that night five years ago.

It was the similar faint floral scent that seduced him, and he couldn’t help but imagine how soft Anastasia’s red and full lips would feel if he kissed her.

When Elliot realized what he was thinking about, he quickly let go of Anastasia, while her arms were already red due to his forceful grip.

“Stay away from me, Elliot,” Anastasia warned as she was about to leave after opening the door.

After she came out, Hayley had already changed into her gown and was receiving consolations from other young ladies.

At the same time, everyone entered the exhibition in the hall when it was time for the exhibition to start. As Anastasia entered along with the crowd, she started observing the pieces of jewelry as if she was a jewelry master.

“I heard that girl managed to come in using the name of the young master of the Manson Family. You really run into all sorts of people here, huh?”

“I bet she used some sort of dirty tricks! If you know, you know.”

“She is merely an insignificant designer! I bet she can’t even afford a small piece of diamond here!”

Anastasia could hear the conversation between the two young ladies behind her that was obviously taunting her.
