Chapter 97

At first, Anastasia just thought she had packed on a few pounds. After all, it was winter and she was

wearing bulky clothes, so nobody noticed a thing

By the time she realized, the kid had been hanging out in her belly for four months, fully formed and all

Anastasia had to drop out of school. As for the baby, her mom wanted to take her to get an abortion,

but when she felt the baby move on the operating table, she changed her mind.

A mystery baby put a ton of stress on Anastasia and ruined her life.

It was a girl, a really pretty girl. Monica saw her once outside the delivery room.

After the baby was born, Salma decided to drop her off at an orphanage.

Salma was a single mom. She didn’t want her daughter, Anastasia, to end up like her.

Anastasia also had postpartum depression. It was so bad that she didnt even recognize Salma and

Monica.

During the year Anastasia was recovering, Salma and Monica took turns looking after her, pouring their

hearts into it.

Luckily, after a year of treatment, Anastasia got back on her feet. But she couldn’t remember a thing

about the baby or the guy.

Anastasia felt like she had woken up from a nightmare, and everything was back to normal.

Salma and Monica had to spin a yarn about Anastasias past to protect her future, avoiding any mention

of the baby.

The kid must be about five years old now. Anastasia didn’t remember, and her mom and Monica didn’t

bring it up, just hoping time would fly by and Anastasia could forget that painful chapter of her life.

Monica squeezed Anastasia’s hand and said, “Cason’s just spouting nonsense, dont pay any attention

to him. That guy was no good. He just wants to see you suffer Any guy who badmouths an ex like that

is seriously messed up.”

Seeing Monica so pissed made Anastasia laugh, “I won’t let him get to me. Maybe I’m just overthinking

things. Monica, I m so lucky to have you.”

Having Monica there to chat with made Anastasia feel a lot better.

Maybe she was overthinking things. Herman didn’t say anything, and just because she didn’t bleed

didnt mean she wasn’t a virgin. All she needed to do was stay true to herself.

“Of course, we’re BFFs Monica changed the subject, “Aren’t you supposed to be at work? It’s nearly

ten in the morning, arent you going to head out?”

Monica had no idea that Herman had punched Blake the night before.

“Right, I should get going “Anastasia steeled herself as she thought of the unresolved issue with the

Ledford family.

She had to stop by the company first. This was her mess, and she had to own up to it

Anastasia wasn’t the type to run away from her problems. She would bear the responsibilities that fell

on her

She couldn’t let the company or Herman take the fall for her.

Anastasia had a plan. She would go to the company first, give them an explanation, then go visit Blake

in the hospital, hoping the Ledford family would show some mercy

Herman had been wearing a mask at the time. As long as she kept quiet, nobody would recognize him

Blake was at fault, but with her and Herman’s humble backgrounds, sometimes she had to swallow her

pride just to get by.

As long as it didn’t affect Herman, Anastasia didn’t care about the rest.

Anastasia drove the car Herman had bought her to the company. Before she got out of the car, she

psyched herself up.

After parting with Anastasia, Monica made a beeline for Cason. She needed to figure out what he

knew.

It would be bad if Cason knew about Anastasia’s baby

When Anastasia walked into the company, her coworkers in the design department were busy with

their work, like always

‘Anastasia”

Lauren had come in early and was surprised to see Anastasia, “Didn’t you take the day off? Why are

you here?”

“I didn’t take the day off” Anastasia immediately thought of Herman, He must have taken the day off for

her.

Lauren asked with concern, “Are you alright? You didn’t get into any trouble last night, did you?”

“I’m fine,” said Anastasia, “but I might be in hot water soon. Blake’s been hospitalized after getting

beaten up, and they won’t let me off the hook.”

Lauren said, “The Ledford family probably doesn’t have the energy to deal with you right now.” Selena

appeared at the entrance of the design department, “Anastasia, come to my office”
