Chapter 11: New Identity Revealed
The day of Xavier’s grandma’s birthday had finally arrived. Anastasia’s heart fluttered with a mix of excitement and nerves as she prepared to meet both Xavier’s family and her own. She could almost feel the weight of the moment pressing down on her, the anticipation buzzing like static in the air.
She applied her makeup with care, adding just a soft touch to enhance her natural features. The subtle shimmer highlighted her cheekbones and made her eyes sparkle, ensuring she would glow beautifully under the lights. She took a deep breath, hoping the extra effort would help her feel more confident amidst the party guests.
She picked up the black dress that the fashion designer had delivered to her the previous day.
The dress flowed gracefully to the ground, its length surpassing her toes. The dress didn’t cling too tightly to her waist, it allowed her some space to breathe.
Tiny diamonds adorned the fabric, sparkling with every movement and ensuring she would stand out. She silently thanked Xavier for his thoughtful choice, feeling a surge of appreciation.
"Are you ready?" Xavier asked from the door, already clad in one of his best-tailored black suits.
His hair was combed back, with a few strands artfully falling onto his forehead. He looked so charming and handsome that Ana forgot to breathe for a moment. Little did she know, Xavier felt the same way about her.
"I’m almost ready," Ana responded, wearing her earrings.
When she was finally done, the both of them walked downstairs, heading outside. Two cars were already parked in front of them.
