Chapter 344: Worst Moment
"You can go to your room and rest for the time while Xander and I take care of the matter outside. Once we return, I’ll send one of the henchmen to come get you. And don’t even think of getting any ideas," she warned, her tone casual yet firm with an underlying meaning.
Anastasia nodded in response as she watched Samantha and Xander leave the room. Then she followed suit.
It was already late in the night as Anastasia pretended to head to her room.
She watched her back, her grip tight on her clothes as her heart thumped in her chest, threatening to jump out. She clenched her fist on her chest as if that was going to help matters.
Today was the day she was finally going to escape.
What Julian had asked her to do was simple yet difficult. All she needed to do was locate the back gate of the mansion she was in and wait there for his men to locate her.
He couldn’t come with her because he needed to stay behind to avoid suspicion. If she escaped and he wasn’t around, Xander and Samantha would immediately suspect him as the one who helped her.
Her legs shook with fright as she dragged them off the ground.
Although Julian had assured her that no guards were stationed near the back gate—since none of the girls had ever attempted to escape during the factory’s history of illegal surrogacy—Anastasia couldn’t shake the fear of being spotted by Xander’s men.
