her death
1568 Words
Pregnant?
Anastasia was stunned,placing her hand on her flat belly subconsciously.Her lips trembled slightly,and her eyes turned red in an instant and soon two rivers meandered from her eyes.
A child…
She suddenly remembered the tenderness that Adam had shown her that night.
However, from the incident until date, she had not seen his shadow even close.
He and the rest of his family might hate and despise her now given the current situation.
After all, she was his mother’s murderer and wanted to use him to clear her name,drugging him and climbing into his bed.
Now that she had been sentenced life imprisonment and the arrival of this child was not timely at all.
However the arrival of this child seemed to give her a glimmer of hope,supporting her.
She would not give up like this!
She grabbed the doctor and asked excitedly, “Can you help me deliver a message?Tell Adam Peterson that I want to see him”.
The doctor was hesitant.
Anastasia held his hand tightly ,as if she had caught the last straw of life.”The child is Adam’s .He has the right to know.I just want to see him once.”
Tell him that she was not he killer of his mother.She wanted to leave here and regain her innocence.
She could not let her child have a mother who was a murdered as soon as it was born.
The doctor saw the mist in her beautiful eyes and finally nodded.”I will help you deliver the message,but I cannot guarantee whether Mr Peterson will come to see you or not.”
Anastasia’s eyes suddenly lit up with hope. “thank you”.
Peterson group,the CEO’s Office
Adam leaned back in his leather chair ,his head slightly lowered ,and his half profile could be vaguely seen,hidden in the darkness,despondent and cold.
His slender hand was rubbing a red box ,one after the other,not knowing what he was thinking.
Alfred stood in front of him ,nodding carefully: “Sir,someone from the prison has come to pass on a message,saying that Miss Grey wants to see you.”
His hand paused slightly.
Then he turned and looked at him, his expression turning cold: “Didn’t I say not to mention this woman in front of me again?”
Alfred quickly lowered his head:”I’m sorry sir,there wont be a next time.”
But he still had to ask: “Do you want to see her for the last time?”
Adam’s cold voice almost overflowed from his teeth,word by word: “No!’
Alfred saw the bone-deep hatred in his eyes,feeling his scalp tingling,not daring to say anything more.
After all,what Miss Grey did was too unbelievable,causing a fatal accident,drugging and seducing him,each of which was enough to make him hate her to the bone!
After Alfred left,Adam opened the box,inside of which was an exquisite diamond ring.
He took out the ring,and in his mind,he saw her fair fingers,hooking around his neck,whining and begging for mercy,soft and delicate…
His breathing became heavier.
He sneered.
He must have gone crazy.
Before this,he even thought of officially proposing to her and marrying her according to their agreement.
With that thought ,he threw the ring into the trash can as if it were garbage.
Meanwhile ,in the prison, the doctor conveyed Adam’s response to Anastasia.
Ana had run out of chances.
She stumbled back,tears welling up in her eyes,murmuring, “I didn’t kill anyone,I really didn’t ,Adam why don’t you believe me..”
But never the less she kept writing letters to him which she did not receive a reply.She kept doing it for the progress of her pregnancy until one day she received his response,she was overjoyed thinking he had forgiven her but what she saw immediately sent her into premature labour.
Her water broke and she suddenly began to bleed heavily.
She lay in the operating room, hands on her belly the other on the letter, the pain almost taking her breath away but not as much as the one she felt in her heart.
“The baby is still in the womb and has been deprived of oxygen for too long.The chances of survival are slim”.
Anastasia used all her strength to hold the doctor’s hand,tears wetting her entire face,weakly pleading, “Please save the baby, I beg you….”
The doctor was shaken by her clear and clean yet desperate eyes.
It was hard ti imagine that such a woman could heartlessly pushed Mrs Peterson off the building, causing her death.
Suddenly blood gushed out.
Anastasia lost consciousness completely.
“The placenta was removed early,and the prisoner is bleeding heavily.”
“The baby is out, it’s a pair of twins…”
“Dr. Lincoln , the prisoner has stopped breathing!”
“Quick ,defibrillate!”
Beep-
“The baby’s breathing is weak,hurry and save it.”
“The prisoner has no vital signs.”
“Take the prisoner to the morgue.”
“okay.”
Five years later.
In a restaurant ,a woman in the corner attracted the attention of many people.
She had moon-white skin,a pair of alluring yet not vulgar fox eyes, and every movement of her red lips was captivating.
Even the most beautiful young actresses on the screen couldn’t compare to her .
She was Anastasia Grey.
Sitting beside her was a handsome cute little boy who looked very gentle but had a level of coldness written on his face.
At this moment,the news was playing on the TV in the hall.
“It is rumored that the Grey Group is facing bankruptcy crisis.There are rumors that Annabelle Grey is engaged to Adam Peterson.Perhaps the Peterson Group will help the Grey Group through this difficult time,but it has not been confirmed yet.’
Anastasia clenched her chopsticks and lowered her eyelids ,hiding the chill in her eyes.
Five years had passed ,and the mall had even become even more prosperous.But now, it was still Adam Peterson’s turf.
During that time, she was given a toxin drug which simulates death hence reducing her pulse rate and temporarily stopped her heart.
After the drug took effect, she was sent to the morgue and switched with a dead prisoner.Then she was secretly sent out of the country to live for five years.
Unfortunately , the other male child suffocated in her belly for too long and died.Dr. Lincoln only brought out the other male twin and said she had only delivered one alive child.
Five years had passed in a flash.She had heard that Adam had married another woman after she was imprisoned and had a son named Nigel in the same year.
Her other son had died ,how ironic.
And now she had a new identity.She was called Anna Gray with only the letter A difference from her previous identity.
She wanted to constantly remind herself of what happened.Coldness flickered in her beautiful eyes as she clenched her fists.
Lady Judy!
Annabelle!
She wanted them to pay a more painful price than she had done.
After five years ,she no longer cared how Adam looked at her ,but she couldn’t hide her identity forever.Her father was still in a coma in the hospital , and she had to go home!
In the past five years , she had reviewed the case that had caused a sensation across the country,not letting go of any chance to appeal.She couldn’t let herself die unjustly like that !
Soon,she found a way to clear her name.
As a murderer, she didn’t know the detailed timeline at first.Later ,with the help of her senior ,she learned that the exact time of Mrs Peterson’s accident was 7 o'clock in the evening.
At that time , she was getting medicine for her father, passing through a mountain road and saving a person .It was pitch black,and she couldn’t see who he was as he covered her eyes .But after he left,he gave her a jade pendant as a token.
She had noticed the time then and it was exactly 7 o'clock in the evening .
There was no surveillance in that area,but she believed she could find him through the jade pendant!The man had promised to repay her.
As long as he appeared before the court as a witness,there is no way she could appear in two different places at the same time 7 o'clock in the mountain and also in the hotel where Mrs Peterson was pushed from?
This was her given chance to clear her name and strike back at those that caused her harm!
She looked at the jade pendant in her hands and a glimmer of hope flashed before he eyes.Before she could return back to her home country they were several things she had to carter for since she had progressed as well during those five years abroad.
She looked at her son whom was eating quietly with furrowed brows on his face something only Adam did.Even if she hated Adam with all the fibre of her body she always thanked him for giving her such a wonderful gift like Arnold .He was her world and messing with her child was triggering her last thin patience hell will be unleashed on the unfortunate soul if he /she broke this line.
She looked at her child once more and noticed hat he was in deep thought .
