Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 578

He was wrong, though. Anastasia was not trembling because of panic; she was. trembling out of shock. She tried to: recollect her thoughts without panicking.

Elliot had said that he recognized Hayley through a watch, and that night, it was Anastasia who threw the watch onto the floor when the man gave it to her.

The room was booked under Hayley’s name, so her phone number appeared in the registration. The staff who found the watch would naturally contact the person who booked the room, leading to the watch landing in her hands..

Elliot, who found Hayley through the list, thought that she was the woman who had a one night stand with him. As for why Jared looked so much like him….

It was because…

The man whom she had a one night stand with was right in front of her! Anastasia was caught in a dilemma as he was, simultaneously, the person she hated and loved the most.

This torrent of emotions washed over her, making her shudder in thought. “Turn on the lights!” Elliot told the gaffer, since he detected that something must have happened to Anastasia to make her tremble all over.

The gaffer turned on the lights to the sight of Elliot embracing Anastasia protectively. Buried in his chest, Anastasia took a few deep breaths before lowering her head and seeing the diamond ring on the carpet.

Gently pushing Elliot away, she bent down to pick up the ring and proceeded to put it on his finger. “I have something to tell you.” Anastasia looked up at him, teary-eyed.

This made Elliot’s heart pang. Why is she crying all of a sudden?

The crowd below breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the bride put the ring on the groom.

“I’m sorry, but we’ll be excusing ourselves momentarily,” stated Elliot to the guests before he held Anastasia’s hand and went down the stage from the side exit.

Harriet then stood up and said, “No worries. Please, everybody, help yourselves with the food. I apologize beforehand if there’s anything inadequate.”

Originally, it was Elliot who was holding Anastasia’s hands, but once they reached the hallway, the situation turned around, as she could not wait to find a spot.

“What’s wrong, Anastasia? Did something happen?” Elliot was truly concerned about her.
