Chapter 14 With Elisabeth's blessing secured , Anastasia felt like she could finally breathe again . Once her grandmother learned they were already married , she immediately started pushing Anastasia to move in with Cassian . " Forget about fancy engagement parties and expensive weddings , " Elisabeth had said with a dismissive wave . " As long as you two are happy together , that's what matters . " Her grandmother's wholehearted approval of Cassian was obvious . After eight decades of life experience , Elisabeth could spot bullshit from a mile away - and she clearly saw none in Cassian . Anastasia felt genuinely relieved , though meeting his family still made her want to throw up from nerves . At least with Cassian in her corner , she wouldn't be completely defenseless . He'd promised his parents were chill and easy to get along with . Anastasia was determined not to embarrass herself . Since Cassian didn't want to overwhelm her , he suggested waiting until after she moved in before he family introductions . That timeline worked perfectly for Anastasia . Honestly , just being around Cassian made her nervous enough as it was . His presence was so intense - quietly commanding in a way that was both magnetic and slightly errifying . After Cassian left Sunday evening , Anastasia spent the night packing while Elisabeth supervised and offered commentary . 16.40 My Quernight Wedding to a Tycoon 3 % Chapter 14 Tomorrow after work , she'd officially become a resident of the Rhodes estate . Elisabeth seemed genuinely at peace knowing her granddaughter was moving on to something healthier . Early Monday morning , Anastasia grabbed coffee and a bagel before heading to J & A for what would probably be one of her last days there . She was there to wrap up her projects and figure out what to do with her company shares . If Jasper wouldn't buy her out , she'd find someone else who would . The goal was complete separation from her old life . " Ana ! Thank God you're finally here , " her assistant Claire practically sprinted over the moment she walked in . " Jasper's been blowing up my phone looking for you . " Anastasia nodded without surprise . " Yeah , I bet he has . " Back in her office , something felt immediately wrong . Someone had definitely been messing with her computer . Anastasia was obsessive about her workspace organization , so the subtle changes were glaringly obvious . A knowing smile spread across her face as the pieces fell into place . She logged into her computer and checked her design folders . Bingo - clear evidence that someone had been rifling through her files . Her expression stayed calm and focused , though satisfaction flickered in her eyes . Jasper and Valeria's little scheme was already underway , and she was about to flip their game completely upside down . Only Jasper knew her computer password anyway . She'd never bothered changing it from his birthday - a oversight that would now work perfectly in her favor . 16:48 Dumped Today Married Tomorrow : My Overnight Chapter 14 She had no intention of changing it anytime soon . Time to set the perfect trap . She knew exactly what they were hunting for : her newest competition designs . The A ' Design Award submissions had just opened online . Contestants uploaded their work for preliminary judging , and only the top entries advanced to finals . Valeria had studied jewelry design and was clearly desperate to make her mark in this competition . But she obviously knew her own work wasn't good enough , so she planned to steal Anastasia's talent instead . The simplest approach was to take Anastasia's designs and submit them under Valeria's name . Jasper knew Anastasia had won multiple international awards - competitive success was basically her specialty . His plan was probably to charm Anastasia into creating fresh designs , then quietly swap Valeria's name onto the submission . Instant credibility for his side piece . And all Jasper had to do was manipulate the woman he thought was still wrapped around his finger . " You really think I'm still that same naive girl , don't you ? " Anastasia muttered , steel flashing in her eyes . Moving quickly , she gathered her latest design portfolio and logged onto the competition website . After setting up her account , she uploaded her completed designs along with her artist statements and creative process documentation . Once everything was submitted and confirmed , she logged out . Competition entries stayed confidential until preliminary judging started . To make sure she caught them red - handed , Anastasia had already hidden a tiny camera in the plant beside her computer . 16:48 Dumped Today . Married Tomorrow . My Overnight Wadding to Chapter 14 Then she deliberately left her design files in plain sight on her desk . " You want my work so badly ? " she said with a cold smile . " Let me give you exactly what you deserve . " Time to have her final conversation with Jasper . Standing outside his corner office , Anastasia could hear suspicious sounds from inside - definitely not business - related . She knocked politely . Frantic shuffling , then Jasper's obviously flustered voice : " Uh , come in ! " Anastasia pushed the door open wearing her most innocent smile , though her eyes were sharp as diamonds . She immediately spotted Valeria frantically climbing off Jasper's lap , her face flushed , hair messed up , and blouse clearly wrinkled . Jasper was desperately trying to straighten his tie , panic written all over his face - clearly not expecting this particular interruption . " Whoops , sorry ! " Anastasia's tone was cheerfully oblivious . " Bad timing ? I thought you were looking for me ? " Valeria turned bright red , frantically smoothing down her hair . " Ana , this isn't what it looks like ! We were just going over some quarterly reports . " " Really ? " Anastasia's laugh was pure sugar with a razor blade hidden inside . " Must be some pretty exciting spreadsheets to get you both so … worked up . " Jasper's face darkened , his voice taking on that familiar controlling edge . " Cut the bullshit , Ana . Valeria was briefing me on her department's performance . Nothing else happened . " Anastasia gracefully settled into the leather chair across from his desk , completely unruffled . " Honestly , what you two do is zero percent my problem now . We're done , remember ? I'm here about business . " Jasper's frown deepened , though he tried to maintain his cocky facade . " What kind of business ? " 16:48 Dumped Today , Married Tomorrow : My Overnight Wedding to a Tycoon 9.7 % Chapter 14 Anastasia pulled a thick document from her designer handbag and slid it across his desk . " My resignation and separation agreement . I've already signed everything - just need your John Hancock to make it official " " Also , since I'm leaving J & A , I want to liquidate my shares . You can buy me out at current market value - about three hundred million - or I'll sell to outside investors . " J & A's stock is hot right now . I'm sure Goldman Sachs would love to get their hands on a piece of this company . " Both Jasper and Valeria went completely white , staring at her like she'd just announced she was joining a cult Jasper shot out of his chair , real panic bleeding through his voice . " Ana , what the actual fuck ? Have you completely lost your mind ? " Anastasia's smile could have frozen Hell itself . " Lost my mind ? I think I've finally found it . You should understand better than anyone why I'm doing this . " Jasper's expression turned dangerous , his voice dropping to that threatening register she remembered from their worst fights . " Don't do something incredibly stupid , Ana . Do you have any idea what you're throwing away ? You'll end up with nothing ! " Just as Anastasia opened her mouth to respond , her phone started buzzing . She glanced at the screen and felt her pulse spike . The caller ID read " Husband . " 164 O
