Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1969

Chapter 1969

“Ellen must be hiding from us! She wants Selena to be in prison. How can she be so ruthless?’ Oliva cried. While crying, she was also throwing profanities around, seemingly as if this was the only way for her to vent her anger on Ellen.

However, Ellen knew nothing about what had happened to the Aguirre Family, nor would Jared let her know about it. He wanted the Aguirres to pay for what they did. Otherwise, they would think of Ellen as a pushover.

The next morning, Ellen sat in Jared’s car and told him that she was going to meet a friend. Initially, Jared wanted to send some guards to protect her, but she refused. Thus, he respected her decision and told her to call him if anything happened.

Then, Ellen went to where her grandma used to stay and discovered it was being demolished. As she walked down the road, she came across a park. She had walked past this park every time during her school years since it was the only road to school.

The park was also where her grandma would always play poker before she passed. Thinking about it, Ellen walked into the park and sat on a bench.

At that moment, she visioned a little girl carrying a backpack while crossing the street. Slowly, the little girl turned into a teenage girl and then a woman.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, she heard a voice calling out for her. “Are you Ellie?” Ellen raised her head and saw an older gentleman looking at her. Immediately, she recognized who he was. “It’s me, Mr. Linton. I am Ellie.”

“It’s been a long time since I last saw you. Come here. Mr. Rowlsey has to go to the bank, so why don’t you take his place?” said Brook Linton, the polite gentleman.

It was only then Ellen saw they were playing chess! Then, she walked toward them shyly and sat in front of Brook. “I might have forgotten the rules, Mr. Linton.”

I’ll teach you again then. You are the only girl who has won against me in chess at this park!” After Brook finished his words, he moved at black chess piece on the board.
