Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Hayley’s Act

Hayley’s good mood instantly crashed as she thought, Anastasia’s getting more shameless by the day! She’s actually seducing Elliot in broad daylight during work hours! She bit down on her lip and decided that it was time she resorted to desperate measures.

Hayley gave up on her shopping, ran back to the car and started the engine. She glanced at the low wall next to the parking lot, and without another thought, she slammed on the accelerator and drove her car into the structure. The reaction from the impact caused Hayley to knock her head against the steering wheel.

The pain that followed was so intense that she had to take several sharp breaths to snap out of it. Now that she crashed the car and had sufficient reason to cry, Hayley inhaled deeply and took her phone before dialing Elliot’s number.

At that exact moment, Elliot’s phone, which was connected to the car’s system, rang with an incoming call, thereby disrupting the silence in the vehicle.

Hayley’s name appeared on the screen affixed to the dashboard. Anastasia was already feeling unsettled, and when she caught sight of the name, she felt even worse.

She turned away from the screen; it seemed as though looking at the name offended her greatly. Elliot hesitated upon seeing this, but he decided to answer the call anyway. “Hey, Hayley. What’s going on?”

“I crashed the car, Elliot!” Hayley let out a pained whimper. “I’m so scared. Could you come help me, please?” She started to sob and whine for help.

The car slowed momentarily as Elliot pressed out of concern, “Are you hurt?”

“My head hurts, and I feel like I’m spinning. Elliot, I need you here. It really hurts…” Hayley sobbed miserably.

Sure enough, that prompted him to want to rush over to her location at once. “Send me the address and I’ll be right over.”

Next to him, Anastasia snorted when she heard Hayley’s voice. It’s been five years since we last saw each other, but even I have to say her damsel-in-distress act is somewhat impressive.

Presently, Elliot hung up the call and glanced at the address Hayley had sent him. He turned around and said to Anastasia in a low voice, “Mind if we take a detour?”

Anastasia shrugged in some sort of a half-hearted agreement. She figured she could go and take a look at the damage Hayley had done.

Elliot steered the car toward the largest mall downtown and drove down to the third floor of the basement parking lot. Hayley’s Porsche was still in the same state it had been in when it crashed into the wall, while the reckless driver herself was crouching next to the totaled car, looking as if she was trying to keep her head from cracking down the middle. At that moment, she looked up and saw Elliot getting down from his car. She didn’t seem the least bit surprised that Anastasia had come along, though.
