My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner-Chapter 441: How Pathetic
After checking the home where Anastasia used to stay while Xander’s captive, Xavier didn’t need to say what needed to be done to it before Xander nodded.
"The girls will be sent back to their parents, and I’ll pay for every damage done," said Xander. The girls were staring at the both of them, wondering when their boss suddenly became a twin.
"If you think money is going to pay for all the damages, then you’re simply mistaken," Xavier retorted. He took into the girls, they had eye bags under their eyes. Who wouldn’t, when they’d been living in nothing but fear?
All of a sudden, they heard a gunshot. It was not surprising so neither of them reacted. Anastasia had only come along with him to Xattlewood because she wanted to end Michelle with her bare hands.
"When this is all over, the real paying of your sins will begin," Xavier added.
Xander knew what he was talking about. He’d committed several crimes, and he didn’t think Xavier was going to let him walk free from it. He’d already prepared himself to go to jail after taking care of everything. It was still better than dying since his mother could still visit him.
Xander stared at his leg, where he’d been shot, and slowly shook his head. "I’m starting to think my legs attract bullets, don’t you think?" He tried to elevate the mood, but Xavier made it obvious there was no use talking to him about something so silly.
"I might not be able to follow you to see your other hideouts, but I’m sure you know what you have to do," said Xavier, glancing around the environment. The girl’s eyes were still on him as if they were watching something from the screen, so focused. "I’ll be busy dealing with those men."
Xander nodded in understanding without needing to ask what men Xavier meant. He’d been able to trace all the men that violated Anastasia that night, and Xavier had captured all of them, taking them to only where God knows.
Their missing reports has already flooded the country. Due to the increase of missing persons reported in the past month, the government has issued a curfew until they find out what is going on.
They left for outside where they saw Michelle’s body being dragged away, probably to get buried in the bushes close by.
Samantha was stiff, standing next to Anastasia who paid her no attention at all as she wiped the gun he’d given to her earlier.
Without exchanging any word, they got into the car and left for the baby factory.
Anastasia was elated to see a certain someone and she didn’t bother to hide her happiness.
As soon as they arrived, she began searching for Eve, the girl who’d been by her side after the death of Angelina and Elizabeth.
Xander and Xavier had already disappeared for their business while Samantha lingered close, not sure why but she felt she needed to.
Anastasia found Eve with her caretaker, her belly bump bigger than the last time she’d seen it.
Eve was speechless when she found an unfamiliar woman talking to her, but after Anastasia explained herself, and what had happened to her, Eve’s shoulders relaxed.
The two got into a heavy conversation and Eve was bothered Samantha was going to get her punished. After a while, Eve’s caretaker came to take her away for her rest.
"How do you do it?" Samantha blurted out before she could stop herself.
Anastasia turned to her with a cocked eyebrow. "Do what?"
"Talk to people like they’re family. She’s a stranger you just met and you were in a haste to see her," Samantha explained. But Anastasia’s eyebrow only cocked up higher.
"Well, when you’re in a similar situation with people, you end up getting attached to them since you’re both after the same thing. Freedom and Survival."
Samantha was silent for a few seconds.
"Look, I’m truly sorry for what I did to you. I was just..."
"Just following Xander’s instructions," Anastasia cut her off, her voice surprisingly cold and distant. Her icy blue eyes glared at Samantha and the latter suddenly felt her throat tighten. "Don’t you have a mind of your own, Samantha? If he tells you to jump into a volcano, are you going to do it?"
Samantha couldn’t answer.
"That’s what I thought. I don’t know what is going on between the both of you, but it’s obvious you’re so smitten by him that you can’t even think for yourself."
"I love him," Samantha blurted out once again.
All her life, her father barely acknowledged her because he saw her as a disappointment because she was a girl. As soon as Xander entered their lives, he completely discarded and she had to stand in his face for him to notice her.
After seeing the way Bruce treated Xander like his biological son, she decided to cling to him—maybe then he would take notice of her, and he did.
However, Samantha couldn’t tell right from wrong when she started having feelings for him.
"What’d happened wasn’t the best thing. I know simply apologizing isn’t enough to make you forget about the gruesome things you’ve gone through," she continued, her head lowered. "I’m your fellow woman and treated you in such a way. I’m deeply sorry, Anastasia."
Anastasia only grinned, her expression still cold.
"Is that how you’re going to apologize to all of these women whose lives you’ve also ruined, because in case you’ve forgotten, it wasn’t only my life you ruined, Samantha. Look at them," Anastasia gestured to the woman surrounded everywhere. Some looked happy and didn’t care about where they ended up as long as they had a roof over their head and were fed well.
"You took them away from their families all because of your selfishness for money and you come here and tell me you only did it because you love him." Anastasia couldn’t help but roll her eyes. "How pathetic."
