Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 352 I Can Make Her Disappear

A malicious and devious look flashed in Alex’s eyes at the thought of this. That’s right, I still have a

chance of owning Tillman Constructions, and that chance lies in Erica! He recalled how Erica had tried

to get close to him the last time; he was clever in his own right, and he figured that Naomi had pinned

her interests in the company on him. Is that why she got her daughter to seduce me?

In that case, he decided that there was no harm in collaborating with Naomi, seeing as they both had

interests in Tillman Constructions that they could not afford to part with.

He glanced at the picture once more, and when he saw how happily in love Anastasia looked while she

was kissing Elliot, he felt as if someone had stabbed his heart with a dagger. He wanted to hold

Anastasia in his arms as well and claim her as his own, even if it was only for a fleeting night.

If he had the chance to fulfill his desires like that, he would be sure to seize it.

At that moment, his mind was filled with all the lewd things he wanted to do to Anastasia. She was the

woman of his dreams, and she was the only one he ever wanted.

Meanwhile, over at Bourgeois, jealousy, and resentment lingered in the air in the office following the

news of Anastasia and Elliot’s relationship. Needless to say, a lot of hearts were broken that day.

Aliona, in particular, did not show up for work, and Alice spent the better part of the morning taking her

anger out on her assistants and employees. She was furious. She had plotted to her wits’ end to have

Anastasia kicked out of Bourgeois, but as things were, it wouldn’t make a difference whether she left or

not, for she would eventually marry the president of the company. In fact, she would be marrying the

president of the business empire that was Presgrave Corporation.

Anastasia’s status had elevated beyond anything Alice could ever hope to achieve in this lifetime.

While she had been toiling away to get promoted in Bourgeois, Anastasia had already taken one huge

step forward by seducing and snagging Elliot, thus emerging the victor in this ongoing rivalry.

While this was happening, Aliona was huddled up in her apartment. She had been shell-shocked ever

since she read the news this morning, and she had a feeling that Anastasia had seduced Elliot on

purpose at the cafe so that she could set this whole love affair in motion, thereby gaining publicity.

To some extent, Aliona believed this was Anastasia’s way of telling others of her capabilities. She’s

trying to rile me up, she concluded with gritted teeth. The task that Riley had entrusted her with was

now rendered hopeless.

However, she couldn’t give up so easily. Her entire life revolved around her plans of marrying Elliot so

that she could take over Presgrave Corporation and present it to her father. This was the best, if not the

only way she could ever repay all that Riley had done for her. If she couldn’t manage this, then she

would have failed him as a daughter.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of her phone ringing. She glanced at the caller ID

before she picked up the call and greeted in a defeated voice, “Father.”

“I just saw the news about Elliot and Anastasia. Who would’ve thought that they would go public with

their relationship?” Riley scoffed icily on the other line as a snide edge crept into his tone.

“I’m sorry for not accomplishing the task you entrusted me with, Father. My incompetence has let you

down, and I have been a waste of your time and energy,” Aliona said, wrapping an arm around herself

as if she would fall apart if she didn’t.

“Aliona, don’t say that. We still have a long journey ahead of us, so pull yourself together! Who’s to say

that Anastasia would live long enough to walk down the aisle and marry Elliot, right?”



Upon hearing this, Aliona brightened up instantly as she asked, “Father, what are your plans?”

“If she’s going to be just as much of a nuisance as her late mother, I’ll just have to dispose of her the

same way. I can make her disappear.”

“You plan on eradicating her, Father?” Aliona was excited. With Riley getting involved in this, she might

still stand a chance to accomplish the task. More importantly, she was excited that she could get close

to Elliot. She secretly found him magnetic and electrifying; she lusted over him and wanted him for

herself.

“That’s right,” Riley affirmed. Then, he added encouragingly, “I’m planning something right now, and I’ll

let you know when the time comes. However, you must pull yourself together and don’t ever falter, got

it? You still have to take down Elliot.”

“Yes, Father. Once you get rid of Anastasia, I’ll be able to take down Elliot for sure,” Aliona said with

renewed confidence.

“That’s what I want to hear. Now, just wait for my word!”

As soon as Riley hung up the call, Aliona’s eyes lit up with an almost maniacal gleam. Anastasia was

basically announcing her death wish the moment she went public with Elliot, and Riley would never let

her live long enough to see her wedding day.

Presently, a hysterical fury descended upon Erica early that morning at Tillman Residence. She never

expected that she would wake up and scroll through her phone in bed to find pictures of Anastasia and

Elliot kissing spread all over the internet.
