He also wanted to find out if the person who looked like Anastasia was her or someone else. But he was also nning the things he would do to Anastasia as soon as she got a reaction from the juice.
He missed having sex with Anastasia and Michelle never let him get close to her. They don’t even sleep on the same bed back at the Wace mansion. She wouldfortably sleep on the bed while he slept on the couch.
"Go ahead, Selene? Aren’t you going to sip from your juice?" Michelle asked, an evil grin on her lips and Anastasia didn’t fail to notice it either.
<i>She was trapped</i>.
Anastasia continued to tap on the wristwatch secretly without anyone noticing. She couldn’t take her phone out to text Kace because Richard was sitting so close to her and he would be able to read the text. If she dyed any longer, she was going to get caught and all her ns would be destroyed.
Hesitantly, Anastasia reached for the ss of orange juice and sipped from it. She could feel her hands threatening to shake due to her reactions but she tried to mask it in.
"It’s very delicious like you said," said Anastasia and the smile on each of the family members immediately faltered.
They knew that her allergic reactions didn’t take more than thirty seconds before they started acting up. Michelle checked the time on her phone and a whole minute had already passed.
She exchanged looks with her parents before their smiles grew back on their lips.
Michelle turned back to <i>Selene </i>and replied, "I told you, didn’t I? Have some more and eat too."
Even though their eyes were already eased since she didn’t get any reaction, they still hoped she would but unfortunately for them, Anastasia disappointed them terribly.
"I’m on a diet," said Anastasia, forcing the words out of her mouth.
"Come on, you can just have a lit—"
Michelle was immediately interrupted by the opening of their front door as Xavier walked in, his aura intimidating as ever.
"Xavier, we didn’t know you wereing over. Do you want to have dinner with us?" Robert suggested, but Xavier didn’t pay him any mind.
On the other hand, as soon as Anastasia saw Xavier, instinctively, she ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
Everyone in the room was surprised by her actions, including Xavier because this was the second time they were having physical contact and she was the one who initiated it.
"P-please t-take m-me away f-from here," she whispered so that only him would hear, while she struggled to breathe. Xavier had no idea what was wrong with her but he didn’t waste any time to wonder either.
He grabbed her bag that was on the dining table and together, they left without Xavier acknowledging the Harrison family.
As if they were in a trance, the Harrison family didn’t dare to stop them either so they left the mansion and headed towards Xavier’s car.
Xavier opened the car for Anastasia and helped her in. Her face was already red and puffy, one of her reactions and the second was being out of breath.
"Kace, drive!" Xavier ordered Kace who was already in the car. Xavier brought out his phone and called Mark immediately. When thetter picked up, he yelled through the phone, "I want you toe to my house immediately, Anastasia is sick!"
"What? What kinds of symptoms is she showing?" Mark asked him, already packing his things and getting ready to go. It was evident from Xavier’s tone that it was a serious matter.
Xavier stared at Anastasia whose eyes were already closed while her face continued to swell, her head resting on his chest. Xavier exined what was happening immediately.
"She’s having an allergic reaction, I will be there right now," Mark cut off the call and dashed out of the hospital.
Xavier ced his fingers on Anastasia’s nose and he could barely feel her hot breath on his fingers. He gritted his teeth in anger as he ordered Kace from the front seat. "Drive faster!"
Kace immediately stepped on the gas.
Looking back at Anastasia, Xavier mumbled, "You’d better not die on me like this."
