THE PROMISE
CHAPTER 77. A CRUEL FATHER

Danendra scrunched his forehead because he was not happy. “Son, why are you saying such a harsh sentence? Later after you and Young Master Archilles are on good terms then you will be the mistress of their family home. You will be able to enjoy an adequate life. This is all for the good of our family and also for your future, marrying into the Archilles family is everyone's dream but they don't dare to think about it.”

Anastasya felt a bitterness in her throat, what was the point of saying so sweetly to her? The point is his dad just wants Anastasya to get into Kenneth's bed?

Anastasya smiled bitterly, “Papa have you ever thought that if I did that and scattered throughout your social environment then those people would mock and insult me? Isn't this going to be a big deal for our family?”

“Cannot be! Those people only dared to step on those of their lower status. Once you become the mistress of Archilles, no one will dare to insult and mock you.”

The girl's gaze suddenly cold.

“Then what if later I did not become the mistress of Archilles and instead was expelled and even humiliated by Young Master Archilles? Didn't you think of that?”

Danendra shook his head with a smile, “Quiet. Papa can see if Kenneth treats you differently from other girls. You must be confident and seize the opportunity that lies ahead of you and your future will surely be bright! You will have everything and will not feel the difficulties of life as you have during your life in the village.”

Danendra was very confident with Anastasya's appearance, the girl was much prettier than Natasha. For a father when he saw Anastasya dressed neatly his eyes could not switch to another place, let alone another man?

Anastasya thought he had understood Danendra enough but now he did not know and understand his father at all. It turned out that the man was the one who was able to sacrifice his daughter by pushing her up the basket of another man for the sake of her own interests and future.

Both of Anastasya's hands clenched tightly, the corner of the card in his hand directly pierced into his palm but he felt no pain at all. Because no matter how much pain in his hand is not worth the pain in his heart. In Danendra's eyes, she was never considered his daughter. It might even never be considered a human but only chess pieces could he play.

It would be ridiculous if Anastasya wanted to reveal his identity and wealth assets to help his father. As Anastasya thought back to it, he smiled bitterly and it appeared that his eyes were misty in tears.

“Tasya!” call Danendra feeling a bit scared when she sees Anastasya's facial expression. With a soft and sweet voice she still wanted to seduce her daughter. “My son, dear our family should not be destroyed. Even though you don't want to do it for your sake but please think of our family! Papa knows you're a good boy and very understanding. You want to promise papa, right?”

Anastasya clenched her lips tightly, feeling eager to speak even more. “What if I refuse to go?”

Suddenly Danendra's eyebrows frowned so tight that it formed three lines between his eyebrows. In a cold tone he said, “If you disagree then this family can't take care and take responsibility for you anymore. You can go wherever you want.”

Then Anastasya laughed out loud, “Wow! Papa...you really.....surprise me!”.

“So you mean you don't want to go to that hotel?”

“No! I'll go.” Anastasya replied staring at Danendra fixedly and then shook her head. The answer made Danendra's countenance change instantly, he immediately seemed happy.

“Ya...I will go there. Don't worry papa! I sacrificed for this family.” Anastasya nodded and turned back to her innocent and submissive style. But his eyes no longer had the slightest bit of warmth and sincerity from his heart. All of that was destroyed by Danendra himself. The male relative did not notice the change in attitude and twinkled Anastasya's eyes and she seemed very touched by the sincerity shown by her daughter. He reached out to pat Anastasya on the shoulder.

“I already know you will definitely agree, you are indeed papa's most kind and understanding daughter. You're very different from your sister Natasha. In the future papa will love and love you only.”

“When? Where?” anastasya asked lightly.

“Suite rooms on the top floor of Grand International Hotel. The room card papa got after trying all night. Young Master Archilles still received a banquet at the Grand International restaurant but Papa had already spoken to the person who invited him. You only need to wait for Young Master Archilles in that room.”

Danendra suddenly remembered something and then looked at Anastasya, “Oh yes almost papa forgot, you have to change your clothes. The clothes you wear are too plain, if you wear it you won't make it. But it's too late now. You just wear whatever clothes you like, I'll ask someone to take you to that suite.”

Anatasya also understood Danendra's intentions are busy and can only go home at this time, it turns out he is not busy working but busy taking care to get Kenneth's room card.

Oh..so so is the game…..

He thought his heart had frozen on Danendra but right now his heart ached like it was being pierced. It turns out that painful things like this, even though you've experienced them several times but will still not get used to them. Suddenly Anastasya's eyes saw the white hair growing on Danendra's head and he remembered what Kenneth had said to him so he put his hand on Danendra's head, “Papa you have gray hair here.  I helped unplug it yes.”

Unknowingly Danendra wanted to reject him but because he saw Anastasya who was so attentive to him, inevitably he just lowered his head and let Anastasya pull out his gray hair. When Anastasya had plucked the gray hair, he smiled.

“Actually there is no need to unplug it, it is natural that papa has gray hair. As long as tonight you manage to do it maybe papa will look younger by a few years.”

Anastasya put the hair in his pocket quietly and nodded his head while pretending to put on a depressed and sad face. “Don't worry papa, I promise I will do it and won't let you down. You've treated me well, how could I not repay you?”

Hearing his words, Danendra felt touched so that tears flowed, and she reached out her hand to embrace Anastasya.

“Good papa princess. Your heart is glorious, son. For the sake of this family you must sacrifice!”

Anastasya who was disgusted also put on a flat face but he did not refuse his father's embrace. Nonchalantly he said, “Papa if you do not hurry then Young Master Archilles will be in that room before I get there.”

“Yes yes yes...you are right.” he released Anastasya and asked the driver and waiter to prepare a set of clothes for him.

Danendra looked so busy that made Clarissa feel surprised to see him. “Where are you going these nights?” asked Clarissa who was walking in the living room in pajamas. His eyes moved suspiciously looking at Danendra and Anastasya there. When Danendra saw Clarissa, he immediately remembered what happened to Natasha. With a growl and an angry face he said, “It's none of your business! Go to your room and sleep! Oh one more thing, you are not allowed to visit Natasha, lest she cannot introspect herself for meeting you.”
