“Do you really want to know?” Anastasia smiled coldly. So, I’ll tell you: the person my mom saved back then was actually Elias. Helen was shocked and overwhelmed with horror, wondering if what she was telling him was true, thinking, ‘It’s not possible! It’s a great coincidence! If it were true, Anastasia could make the Palomares compensate her, even if she was not aware of what happened that night ». “Therefore, I warn you not to make me angry; Otherwise, I’ll have to be the one who ends up as the young lady of the Palomares family,” Anastasia warned her. Helen shuddered in horror at that moment, clenching her fists as fear consumed her rational mind. “Anastasia, then, I’m sorry about what happened. Would you forgive? She,” she pleaded. “Do you want my forgiveness?” She — Anastasia sprinkled the drops of water that she had on her hands, making a gesture with her fingers. Keep dreaming! Although Helen covered the splash with her hand, her face ended up getting soaked anyway. Gazing at Anastasia as she left, she was filled with fury and resentment. Although this look of hers was attractive to many men at the exhibition, Helen was reminded of her popular good looks during her childhood. «Anastasia, I will never allow you to marry Elías! He is mine and mine alone!” Helen thought, clenching her fists. When Anastasia came back to the table, she pushed her hair behind her ear in a sensual way; then she looked up once more to see the man’s eyes as the candlelight shone into them, making them look like dark obsidian. Secondly, It seemed to Elijah that the woman was like a pearl that shone in the dark, since her beauty and elegance caught the attention of every man who laid eyes on her. However, she Anastasia had no idea that she was one of the most beautiful in high society. A while later, Helen returned from the bathroom as well, pretending to look friendly as she made her way to her seat next to Elias. Unlike her shameless and haughty attitude to her earlier, she now seemed like an innocent woman who needed a man to protect her, which upset Anastasia so much that she took away her appetite. Therefore, she poured herself a glass of water to keep calm. “Miss Torres, this is the veal fillet with truffle that they just served.” Would she like to try it? Jonas took his glass of water. “Thank you,” she answered, smiling and grateful. When they were done with dinner, the next session introduced the theme of the banquet, but Anastasia headed out to the balcony alone with her glass of red wine, perhaps because she was the only person unaccompanied that night. Looking at the view of the city that looked like a golden rice field shining in the night, she couldn’t
help but feel sad that people were lost when seeking wealth in modern society. -What is he doing here? came the deep voice of a man. Without turning around, Anastasia knew who was talking and she giggled, “What’s wrong with it?” Did I have to inform you that she was coming to this jewelry show? — What relationship do you have with Miguel Mendoza? Anastasia turned in surprise, looking at the handsome man holding her glass of red wine, frowning. “Do you know Michael?” -Yes, I know him,” he replied calmly, which did not surprise Anastasia. After all, she believed that the reason Miguel was invited to this event was because of his wealthy and influential family. Therefore, she was not surprised that two men from high society met. You haven’t answered my question yet. What relationship do you have with Miguel? The man behind Anastasia refused to ask another question; she took the red wine from her. “Why should I tell him?” Then she pulled away from her without bothering him to answer her, disgusted that he was Helen’s boyfriend. As the woman walked away from her, Elijah hung back, his eyes narrowing grimly. On the other hand, Helen was talking to the high society crowd when she noticed Anastasia come out from the balcony. Knowing that Elijah was also there, She couldn’t help but feel jealous and thought: Was she trying to seduce Elias? Then, seeing Elijah come out of her too, an idea occurred to her and she approached Anastasia with a glass of wine in hand. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
