Anastasia silently placed the tray on the table and took her seat as he’d wanted her to, his gaze still on her, crawling on her skin like a worm.
"I’m Julian De Luca, and it seems you must be new because I’ve never seen you here before. You’re one of the girls Xander brought recently, Anastasia Wallace." He didn’t ask but stated, which had Anastasia wondering how he knew her supposed last na.
’Does he know who Xavier Wallace is?’ She wondered.
"Xavier sure is a lucky man to have such a hot wife all to himself. You must be sweet," he added, indirectly answering her inner question.
Now Anastasia was tempted to look up at his face again to see the kind of expression he showcased while talking about her husband.
"Too bad his wife is far far away from him." His gaze sized her up one more ti, making her feel beyond uncomfortable.
Anastasia only kept quiet while he continued with his actions.
"Michelle!" She suddenly heard him call the latter and her heart raced.
’Did I offend him,’ she couldn’t help but wonder while she fidgeted with her fingers, trying to calm herself down from thinking irrationally
When Michelle heard her na being called, she turned to them, a smile stretching on her lips.
"Do you need anything, Julian?" She asked when she reached them, giving Anastasia a small glare.
"Anastasia here....is she up for the crimson hunt?" Julian asked, which made Anastasia flinch for a second.
"Yes, she is. Do you wish to buy her?" Michelle asked.
Julian glanced at Anastasia for a brief second before he nodded. "Indeed. I will be participating in the crimson hunt to get her," he declared.
Michele’s smile only stretched further on her lips when she heard his words.
anwhile, Anastasia was quiet throughout the whole conversation as they discussed her purchase as if she were so object.
"You’ve made a very good pick, Julian. I will inform Xander about it and you two can discuss further regarding the price," she said and Julian nodded once more before Michelle left to return to the other n she was attending to.
"Is this how it’s always been?" Anastasia couldn’t stop herself from asking, loud enough for Julian to hear her. "I know the world is cruel but is it really this cruel?" She asked.
"If you think this is the highest level of cruelty the world can be, then you’re mistaken. Besides, after what your husband has done to Xander in the past, he was only right to get revenge through you...." Julian paused when he realized sothing. "Oh, that’s right! You’ve lost your mories, so I don’t think you can rember the reason behind this betrayal. That’s if Xavier had told you anything before you lost your mories."
Anastasia clenched her fist in anger with the urge to take one of the wine glasses and stab it in the head of Julian. They saw her as an object to be used to atone for soone else’s sin. And although she hadn’t t her husband yet, she wished he was there so she could slap so senses into him.
’Is this supposed husband of mine even looking for ?’ She couldn’t help but wonder.
She’d been hidden for one week, and no one had co to save her. And now, she was going to be sold soon.
"But you know what," Julian continued, his hand on her lap now, caressing the tender skin there. "You don’t need to worry about anything. I’m a good man and I can take care of you. All you just need to do for is spread your legs whenever I want you to and never complain. I’m a very easy going man, but if you do sothing that upsets , I’ll make you pay for it!" He whispered-yelled in her ears, his grip on her lap tightened with his nails digging into her skin as she muffled a pained whimper.
’I’ve got to get out of here before the crimson bullshit event,’ she thought to herself.
After taking a few drinks, Julian intended to take Anastasia to bed. Surprisingly, Michelle stepped in and stopped him, reminding him it was against the rules to sleep with a sex slave before purchasing them.
Anastasia was quite stunned by Michelle’s words since the latter had promised to make her life a living hell. However, Julian didn’t insist any longer.
A few hours later, the party was over. Although Julian had already laid his claim on Anastasia, that didn’t stop Michelle from advertising her. However, when the other n found out Julian was already interested in her, they imdiately backed away. Which got Anastasia curious to know what kind of background Julian had for himself.
But she wasn’t going to wait to find that out.
Just like how Michelle had brought Anastasia blindfolded, she also took her back blindfolded so that she wouldn’t see.
As they entered the hideout, a wave of heat greeted them, thick and stifling, as if the air itself had just been cranked up a few degrees. Xander sat sprawled in the living room, furious for an unknown reason. While the others paused, exchanging puzzled glances. Anastasia, however, didn’t even blink. Her eyes swept the room, knowing full well there was no air conditioning to explain the sudden change.
Once Xander’s eyes settled on Anastasia, he walked towards her with his weak limbs and pulled her hair hard enough she could feel them ripping right out of her scalp.
"That husband of yours is starting to piss off, you know!!! All because he’s looking for you!!" With her hair still in his hands, he threw her on the ground, forcing her to plant her face on the ground.
However, he didn’t stop there.
Xander fisted her locked and forced her to face him, his gaze darting to the blood stain on her head before his gaze t her trembling blue ones.
"He must love you so much for him to attempt to kill today!!" He barked in her face, completely forgetting he’d almost killed Xavier as well with the explosion.
