Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Alastor didn’t deny it.

Chapter 23

After discovering that there were surveillance cameras at home, he asked his friend in Pollerton to hire

a private investigator

to follow Anastasia.

Anastasia didn’t explain and just looked at Alastor with heavy breathing.

Alastor didn’t care if she was seeing any other men.

He just wanted to pin an allegation on her.

Then, they could end their marriage in peace.

He wanted to minimize the loss caused by divorce.

“What do you want? Just say it.” Anastasia never thought that she would negotiate conditions with

Alastor face–to–face one day.

It was just like four years ago when Alastor was calmly asking her to marry him.

“I’ll hold a press conference at the company about the divorce. The reason is that I’ve been busy with

work and neglecting you, so we break up peacefully. I need you to come forward.”

Anastasia smiled.

She knew that Alastor cared about the company. After all, part of his reason for choosing a blitz

marriage was to fight for shares in the company.

Alastor’s grandfather made it clear in his will that Alastor would need to have a family to own these

shares.

If the divorce caused too much trouble, Alastor’s existing shares would be in dispute.

“Alastor, you’re so unbecoming.” Anastasia looked at the agreement and tore it off bit by bit, feeling

cold all over. “I’ve done nothing wrong, so I have a clear conscience, and I’m not afraid of your threats.”

Alastor frowned and looked at Anastasia, as if he didn’t expect her to say no to a divorce. “Anastasia,

this isn’t who you are.”

According to Alastor’s understanding of Anastasia, she would accept his request for a divorce even if

he had no feelings for

her.

But now, Anastasia felt like a stranger to him.

“Do you know me? Have you ever thought about getting to know me in the past four years? What kind

of person am I? Ha. Alastor, you are wrong. This is who I am. I won’t divorce unless you want to lose all

standing and reputation.” Anastasia threw the agreement into the trash can. “You said that unless you

are widowed, you will never divorce me. Either I die or Felicia remains a mistress all her life!”

Anastasia was very emotional. Her whole body was trembling, and her muscles and bones were so

painful that she had spasms all over her body. She also began to have a fever as her body temperature

rose.

She thought. “Does Alastor lie to me all these years? We only got married because I was useful and

Felicia went abroad four years ago. Am I supposed to quit and give Alastor to Felicia now that she’s

back?”

“Anastasia, I’ll give you three months to think about it.” Alastor didn’t want to stay. He stood up and

looked at Anastasia hesitantly.

Anastasia held her fingers hard and said in a hoarse voice, “What does she have that makes her better

than me?”

She was still a little unwilling to accept it.

“She doesn’t need to be good at anything,” Alastor said calmly. His response was cruel yet true.

As long as Alastor loved Felicia, she didn’t need to be good at anything at all. He didn’t mind even if

she was insensible and caused trouble all the time.

Due to the fact that Alastor didn’t love Anastasia, he still didn’t love her even though she played the role

of his wife flawlessly.

Anastasia thought, “But is there nothing worth holding on to after four years of marriage?”

Anastasia got up with a sarcastic chuckle. “I can divorce you and help you resolve the share dispute,

but on one condition.”

“What is it?” Alastor, who was leaving, stopped in his tracks.

“Why the rush after you lied to me for four years?” Anastasia walked to the window and took out a

cigarette.

She didn’t know how to smoke, but she somehow just wanted to try.

Alastor frowned and felt a little unhappy. “When did you learn these bad habits?”

“Alastor, you don’t know me. Anastasia lit the cigarette, but it was taken away by Alastor.

Chapter 23

“You’re pregnant. Alastor looked grim.

“Didn’t you want to have this child aborted?” Anastasia looked up at Alastor with piercing eyes.

Alastor didn’t speak.

“You’ll compensate me for my four years of youth. During this period, you can’t take the initiative to

propose a divorce. I’ll ask for a divorce if I get bored one day.” Anastasia lowered her head and fell

silent for a moment before she added, “Don’t worry. I won’t take four years.”

She would not divorce. Even if she died, she would be Alastor’s deceased wife.

Felicia would be criticized by others forever.

“During our marriage, please keep up your image as a husband. You’ll come home to me every day,

eat and go shopping with me, and do the dishes. You’ll fulfill the obligations that a married couple

should fulfill.” Anastasia grabbed Alastor’s tie and unbuttoned his clothes with reddened eyes, refusing

to give up.

At that moment, Anastasia felt embarrassed like a needy cheap woman.

“Anastasia!” Alastor was a little angry, even feeling disgusted.

Anastasia felt extremely hurt.

She thought, “Is he disgusted by me just like this? That’s right. Our sex life has never been passionate;

it was plain like water. He has no lust for me.”

“If you can’t do it, I will go to another man. I don’t care whether you cheated or I cheated in marriage.

You’ll be the one being affected anyway.”
