"I will be the one that kills her, I don''t want you two staining your hands with her blood," he said with a gentle smile on his face. "We will finally be getting rid of Anastasia and she will be out of our lives forever," he promised.


    They waited for Anastasia to wake up. Robert''s assistant had already arrived with the papers he had requested. They were in his hands, anticipating Ana''s awakeness. When the nurse who was in charge of taking care of Anastasia informed them that she was finally awake, they quickly rushed in.


    Inside the hospital room, Anastasia saw the people she once called family. No, she corrected herself. She didn''t want to call them her family again.


    "Monsters," she called them loud and clear for them to hear her.


    The Harrisons were shocked. Anastasia''s defiance and resilience kept catching them off guard. This only made them more determined to get rid of her permanently once they had gotten what they wanted from her.


    They didn''t want to waste time bothering with the name she called them. Robert threw the papers at her bed, pointing at it, he ordered,


    "Sign those papers. Those are the property and divorce papers. Sign them quickly and don''t waste any time ring at me."


    Anastasia red at him one more time before her eyesnded on the papers. It was all because of the papers that she had lost her baby. She was also shocked when the nurse from earlier informed her that she had a miscarriage and needed to take a rest.


    "Where''s Richard?" She questioned, her tone chilly with not an ounce of emotion. This was the first time she was using that tone on them. They would be lying if they said they didn''t feel scared for a moment.


    As if on cue, the door of the hospital room opened and Richard came inside, looking drunk and smelling as if he showered with alcohol.


    "What happened? Why did you suddenly call me here?" Richard asked, his words slurred.


    The more Michelle stared at Richard in disgust, the more she cursed at Ana internally.


    "Anastasia had a miscarriage and I''m guessing the child is yours?" Robert asked, staring intently at Richard as thetter stumbled until he found a chair to seat.


    Anastasia scoffed from the bed. He made her look like a prostitute with his words.


    "He is the father, it''s not a guess because you let him have his way with me whenever he wanted, and you wouldn''t intervene even once," she reminded him, her tone filled with so much anger that she felt her chest squeeze tightly that it became difficult to breathe. "You were supposed to be a father."


    "Don''t you dare sit down there and teach me about my role," Robert remarked.


    The both of them exchanged res, none of them willing to back down.


    "So you mean to tell me that Anastasia was pregnant with my child and she lost the baby?" Richard asked, facing Anastasia. "You lost the baby?" He asked her directly but Anastasia didn''t bother replying to him.


    He was drunk and there was a high chance he wouldn''t even remember what urred the next day.


    "Isn''t that supposed to be good news?" He asked, smiling like a fool as his stench continued to fill the room. "It''s good that you lost the baby because I''m not ready to be a father at all. So that was why you people called me over? Sigh...I''m leaving." He stood up from the chair and found his way out as he wobbled.


    As soon as Richard closed the door behind him, Robert urged Ana.


    "Sign those papers immediately."


    A tear dropped from Ana''s eyes but she wiped it immediately.


    She took the papers. "I will only sign these documents under one condition," she said which surprised them. They hadn''t expected her to give in so quickly.


    "What is it?"


    "It''s a trade. I''m willing to trade the properties for my peace of mind. I''m going to leave forever and I don''t want you looking for me to trouble me ever again," she responded, her seriousness evident in her firm tone despite the pain she felt in her chest.
