No matter his figure or looks, one could
almost say that he was perfect. This made some of the girls on the scene
envious of Anastasia.
Besides that, Harriet also felt very proud, as her grandson was, indeed, handsome! Since he was young, he had always made her proud, especially when everybody would praise him no matter where he went.
By then, Anastasia had already come out of the waiting room and was waiting in the main hall. Even though it was only an engagement party, she was standing on the red carpet with a bouquet of roses in her hands. When the time came, the golden gates opened whilst romantic music slowly played in the background as she walked down the aisle to the man on stage.
“Wow! The bride is also very pretty!”
“She’s gorgeous!”
“They really are a pair meant for each other.”
The songs of praise all came from the old and young. Tonight, they only invited the extended families of the Presgrave Family and some important guests.
So, it could be said that they were all well acquainted with each other.
Walking step by step to the stage, Anastasia saw that the host tonight was none other than Jonathan, who was going to be the witness to their engagement.
Anastasia smiled at her future uncle before Elliot held her hand and stood beside her..
After a short speech, Jonathan congratulated them again.
“Here, we bear witness to the pair of couples, Elliot and Artastasia, wishing them a happy life thereon after and that they never part.”
“Now, let’s have the groom put the diamond ring on the bride to signify his
love. After this, we will be looking forward to the upcoming wedding.”
The gaffer immediately dimmed the lights, leaving only the lights on the stage, focusing on the pair like a beam of moonlight. This enabled everyone to see them clearly.
Elliot first put Anastasia’s diamond ring on her while his was on the tray held by a woman, which Anastasia took. Reaching out, Elliot revealed his hand with his watch sticking out.
A ray of green light hit Anastasia, who was about to put the ring on him Attracted by the light, she forgot to put the ring on him, as she only stared at the reflection on his watch.
Under the dim lights, an emerald wolf’s head reflected itself from the watch.
The ring in her hands dropped because she was so shocked.
Elliot looked up and saw that Anastasia was stunned while staring at his watch to the point where it was as if she had seen
something horrifying.
“What’s wrong, Anastasia?” Elliot hugged her.
The people below were anticipating the two exchanging the engagement rings when the bride dropped the ring and froze there, looking like an icicle.
All of a sudden, Anastasia turned to the gaffer and said, “Could you turn off the lights?”
A bit dumbfounded, he then immediately followed her request and switched off all the lights.
The whole venue descended into
darkness. In the dark, everyone was shocked and stunned, as they all did not know what Anastasia was going to do. Even Elliot did not know what Anastasia was thinking of..
Anastasia was fixated on the watch, as the wolf’s head reared itself clearly upon the moment the lights went out.
Covering her mouth, the overwhelming
emotions nearly made her faint. Her mind went blank while the memories from five years ago appeared. Although it was a dark night, she still remembered everything.
The watch was the exact same as Elliot’s, with the rare design of a wolf’s head.
“Anastasia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling alright?” Elliot’s concerned voice came as he hugged her and felt that she was trembling all over. It seemed like something terrifying had happened to her.
