Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1976

Chapter 1976

When the TV showed the special highlight from the chess tournament, Jared scrolled through it with curiosity. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something. His eyes widened as he stared at a name.

Ellen? Why is her name on the list? Jared knew there was no mistake. It was Ellen’s name. At that moment, he returned to his senses and quickly clicked on her name to rewatch her match.

When the screen switched scenes, Ellen’s beautiful face unfolded right before his eyes. Looking at her, he stood up in bewilderment. He couldn’t believe he would find Ellen, the woman who had disappeared for one and a half years, this way.

Ellen had changed a lot. Jared could tell that she was more mature. At the match, she wasn’t wearing anything classy, sporting a plain turtleneck, looking sharp. When the camera zoomed in on her, she didn’t cower away, looking like a porcelain doll.

Immediately, Jared grabbed his phone and dialed Stanley’s number. “Stanley.”

“Yes, Mr. Presgrave.” “How did you find her?” “It looks like you have watched it. Except for work, I love to play chess. Hence, I knew a chess tournament would be right around the corner. Since I have nothing much to do, I watched the video and saw Miss Reiss.”

“Is… Is she still in Averna? Which hotel is she at?” Jared suppressed the excitement in his voice.

“Are you going to see her tonight, Mr. Presgrave? It’s already 10.00PM, though. Why don’t we meet her tomorrow morning?” Stanley suggested.

Looking at it, she thought about a familiar face. She wanted to see Jared but had no reason to do so. After all, he had never come looking for her when she left without saying anything for an entire year. That meant that they were over.

Thinking about it, she turned her head to look. outside the window. The neon lights were shining brightly. Is there a woman beside him now? I wonder if she’s the same woman that I heard of before I left.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Ellen believed it was the hotel staff since she had ordered a plate of fruits. Thus, she stood up and opened the door without much thought.

However, it wasn’t the hotel staff who stood before her, but a man who was panting. He was leaning against the doorframe, seemingly out of breath. When Ellen saw who he was, her pupils constricted. You. It’s you. In that split second, the duo looked at each other without saying a word.
