Chapter 219

Once everything was settled, Anastasia finally returned to campus and headed to class.
“Anastasia!!”
The moment she stepped into the classroom, Maggie and the others swarmed around her, their faces alight with excitement.
“Where were you yesterday? Why didn’t you come to class?”
“What happened on the livestream? Was it really you who beat up Samuel?!”
“And that guy who showed up at the end-was that your boyfriend?!”
A dozen curious eyes fixated on her, the girls practically buzzing with anticipation.
Just two nights ago, the campus forum had exploded when Samuel’s account posted a surprise live video. In it, Samuel claimed Anastasia had been pursuing him and was planning to confess her feelings at a hotel that night. Thanks to Samuel’s deliberate hype, the entire school knew about it. Maggie and the rest had wanted to call Anastasia, convinced there was no way she’d ever be interested in someone as gross as Samuel.
But before they could even pick up their phones, the livestream started.
What no one expected was that instead of Anastasia, the camera showed Samuel himself-black-and-blue, stripped down to just his boxers, and tied to a chair. Tears and snot streaked his face as he sobbed and confessed to all sorts of disgusting things on camera: spying on girls in the shower, stealing upperclassmen’s underwear, using his competition privileges to prey on freshmen…
Though no one else appeared in the frame, every few sentences Samuel would glance fearfully to the side, clearly terrified of someone off-camera.
Rumors swirled that Anastasia must be the one intimidating him—after all, she was supposed to meet Samuel that night. But others insisted there was no way someone as gentle and delicate as her could have beaten Samuel up so badly. Follow current novels on
While everyone was still speculating, someone knocked at the door on the livestream. Suddenly, a slender, beautiful hand appeared, shoving a filthy sock into Samuel’s mouth.
Then, a girl’s voice could be heard calling, “Hubby,” followed by a deep, magnetic male voice saying something indistinct. The next moment, a deafening crash- someone kicked the door in.
The phone tumbled and fell, and for a brief instant, the camera caught a glimpse of a tall man’s silhouette and a blurry side profile.
Immediately after, Anastasia’s startled face flashed across the screen as she rushed over and hastily ended the livestream.
Maggie and the others had been dying of curiosity since yesterday, and now, at long last, Anastasia was back at school.
“So what the heck happened during the livestream? How did you beat up that loser Samuel like that?”
“And that guy at the end-was that really your boyfriend?”
“We only saw a blurry glimpse, but your boyfriend looked crazy handsome!”
“Yeah! And his voice-wow! When do we get to meet him?”
Everyone crowded around, chattering away, but to Anastasia’s own surprise, she didn’t mind the attention at all.
The corners of her lips lifted into a faint smile as she gave a few simple answers to their barrage of questions.
As for her boyfriend…
“It’s not really a good time for you all to meet him right now, but maybe someday.”
Honestly, she’d love nothing more than to drag Harrison to campus and parade him around, but her Hubby was far from eager to cooperate.
