Mia’s POV:Hearing Anya’s words, I said exasperatedly, “Hey, do you have to call the police for this? Its not a big deal.”“Not a big deal? Wow, you are excellent at putting things lightly. Harry committed a crime of intentional homicide!” Anya retorted.“Your son is alive, isn’t he? This is a prank at best. How can you be like this, thinking of ways to send your brother to prison?” I shouted.“I don’t want to continue talk with you. Just wait for the police and let them to judge whether Harry play a prank or or commit crime? I am sure police will have their judgement!”Saying this, she turned around, ready to leave.“Don’t you walk away from me!” I shouted.“I don’t want to talk to with you!”Realizing that she was serious, I panicked.Tina was also anxious and said, “Intentional homicide? Harry will be charged for as an attempt murder, even he didn’t kill anyone. If so, Harry will still be sentenced.”I snorted coldly. “No need to worry. How come this is intentional homicide? Anya j
Anya’s POV:Hearing that, Mia flared up again and shouted, “Did my son commit a crime? It’s not up to you to judge?”“Shut your mouth right now!” Dad warned.Then, he looked at me and said, “Anya, just forgive Harry this time. I am begging you. If Harry goes to jail, how can he have a foothold in X city. Harry was in a moment of madness but learned his lesson. Please forgive him this time. I am keeling to beg you!”I was saying that he knelt in front of me.“Dad, get up. Don’t do this!” I said immediately. However, I felt disgusted and quickly looked away to avoid looking at him.“If you refuse to forgive Harry, I will keep kneeling!”Saying that he was about to kneel in front of me again, but I immediately helped him up, saying, “Dad, please. Stop it.”I was annoyed and frustrated.Dad’s eyes turned red and tears rolled down my cheeks. “Anya, Harry is your brother! You can’t be so heartless as to send him to jail!”When speaking he held his chest and took a few deep breaths. It looke
Evan’s POV:Anya stood beside Jerry’s bed as she didn’t want to leave for a moment. Jerry was still in a coma. He was frightened doctor injected a sedative into him, thus he was sleeping soundly.Anya caressed Jerry’s little face from time to time. Her eyes were filled with maternal love.I stood by the side and watched her and Jerry silently.It had been half an hour, and she had not spoken a word. She only focused on looking at her son. And this made me upset. I tried to control myself for a while and eventually couldn’t help her speaking, “Jerry is alright now. He will recover after resting for a few days!”Hearing that she looked up at me, then she lowered her eyes and looked at Jerry again.I thought that she was going to say something to me. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, she was still silent.‘I have saved Anya son, I should be a hero. Why didn’t she say thank you? I’m pissed off at Anya. She doesn’t even thank me, even though I have saved her son!’Thinking that
Anya’s POV:Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself down and punched him a few times in exasperation. “Can you stop touching me?”“If you don’t love me, will you have such a big reaction?” He asked with his eyebrows raised slightly. The playfulness in eyes intensified.Hearing this, I was speechless with anger.He was a tough man to handle, adapting at pursuing women who are naturally in excellent physics shape. Any woman would not be able to take it, so…However, this didn’t mean I would give him into psychology. This was not love.Taking a dew deep breath, I cursed, “You are sick. Don’t touch me again!”“Why? You are my woman? Why can’t I touch you?”“I’m not your woman!”“If you were not my woman, I would not be so nice to you,”“Evan, can you please stop fooling around?” My eyes instantly turned again.“You have completely changed your attitude! Just a while ago, you were begging me with tears streaming down your face and snort running all over. As soon as you finished with me, you
Anya’s POV:I rolled my eyes and opened the door.Outside the ward, Tina stood in a daze.From her expression, it seemed like she had been standing there for a long time. Her face is filled with fear and grief.I was shocked and blurted out, “Why are you here?”Tina squeezed out a faint sneer and said coldly, “Why can’t I be here?”“Then, go ahead!” I said, avoiding her and heading towards the corridor.“Stop right there!” She said. Her voice suddenly became shrill.I turned around and looked at her coldly. To be honest, at that moment I didn’t want to see any member of the Walter family.“What do you want?”Suddenly, she smiled miserably like an injured little white rabbit. “Why do you have to snatch my boyfriend?”She questioned as she gasped. The bridge of her nose trembled like a pitiful, dehydrated goldfish.“Tina Walter, I will repeat it once more! From the start to end, I never thought of snatching Evan from you!”“But Evan is my fiance now. Do you really think it’s appropriate
Evan’s POV:Hearing that, I couldn’t help but frown. Then, ignoring Tina’s cries, I bent down and forcefully picked her up, storming towards the underground parking lot.“Evan, let go of me and let me die! If I die, no one will disturb you again, let alone stand between you!”However, I didn’t reply and directly stuffed her in the passenger seat of the car.“Evan, let me out. Don’t worry about me. Boohoo…”Taking a deep breath, I looked at her coldly. “Stop making a fuss!”“I am not making a fuss! I am serious about it. I am willing to make room for my sister and let her have you!” she cried.Hearing her words, I couldn’t help but sneered.She had already snatched Anya’s position.If she hadn’t lied to me back then, I would never love her.She continues to sob, “I know you don’t love me anymore. I can’t accept the fact that you love my sister, and you have a change of heart. I would rather die than suffer like this!”Evan, please don’t make me feel so much pain again. I really can’t t
Tina’s POV:Seeing Evan had found Paul to confront him, I was frightened and uneasy.“Why are you so nervous?” he asked. Evan’s face is covered with a layer of coldness.“I am not nervous!”Although I denied it, my heart was about to jump out of my throat.Looking at the sinister expression on Evan’s face, my heart started beating fast and my body became numb from his stare.“Evan, don’t look at me like that. Do you… not trust me?”As I spoke, tears streamed down my face, feeling weak and helpless.However, Evan didn’t say anything else. He just smoked silently and waited.While waiting, I became even more uneasy.I wanted to find an opportunity to call Paul or send a message to Paul to warn him not to spout nonsense.Unfortunately, Evan was watching me, and I had no chance at all.Half an hour later, Paul is brought to an office.There is a huge double-sided mirror in the office.Evan and I are behind the mirror. We could see Paul’s every move, however, he couldn’t see us.Seeing Pau
Evan’s POVI know that the evidence was now not enough to prove Tina’s innocence. So, I feigned ignorance intentionally and let Paul off the hook.Once I caught them in an act, I would have undeniable proof. When that happened, if I broke off the engagement, I would not have to worry about her seeking death. Even if she committed suicide, it would have nothing to do with me.Tina quickly moved to my side, her soft body leaning in my embrace. Her voice is coy and coquettish. “Evan, I don’t want to go home tonight. I want to be with you.”As she spoke, her small hand took the initiative to wander around my waist.Seeing this, I raised my eyebrows slightly and scrutinized her with an ambitious gaze, as if I enjoyed her initiative.Seeing this, she was even more encouraged. And her small hand unbuttoned my belt.“Evan, we have been a love for so long. I want to bring our relationship to the next level. What my sister has, I have too. What my sister can do, I can do to. Why must you be so
Anya’s POV:My heart sank when I overheard the two men gossiping away.“Excuse me, sir, may I borrow your cell phone?”The two vagrants looked at me casually while looking at the phone, “No way! My phone is running out of battery. I have to charge it at the convenience store soon. Moreover, what kind of person doesn’t have a phone nowadays? Why did you ask to borrow mine?”I feared Evan would trace my cell phone location. Therefore, I left it behind.I would have the register with my real ID if I were to apply for a new SIM card.“Sir, I will buy you a cell phone instead.” I took a wallet from my canvas bag and retrieved $200.“I pay for your phone. You can use the money to buy new one.” I said and handed the money to the homeless man.Homeless man’s POV:I looked surprised and became speechless. I looked at the woman skeptically.It was strange that she offered $200 to buy this old phone. She could have bought a brand new one with that amount. I was puzzled.Moreover, someone who cas
Anya’s POV:I became even more aimless after leaving X City West.The weather changed gradually, and dark clouds gathered. The wind blew strongly, cleaning the streets of pedestrians.The storm was apparently about to descend.I felt the chill and tightened my jacket.I had to find another place to stay quickly.Although I had money, I would have to register with my identity card to stay in a better hotel. The same regulation applies in ordinary home stays.It was challenging to find another homestay without an identity card.I subconsciously stopped in my tracks when an overpass passed me.Many unemployed people and vagrants gathered under the overpass. Land in the X city was scarce, and every inch was worth its weight in gold. Many could not afford the tiniest house and resorted to living under the overpass.I looked around.Many homeless people had set up mosquito nets to make independent tents. I would probably have to do the same under the overpass if I did not want to register w
Evan’s POV:Half an hour later, I arrived at the Home stay in the suburbs.I was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.“Where is she?” I asked anxiously.The Lady boss of the homestead was shocked to see many burly men in suits appearing at her door. She stammered, “She has already left. Look, is this her?”She quickly pulled out the surveillance footage.The public living room was occupied with surveillance.I took a look and became excited. “Yes, yes, that’s her!”In this surveillance video, Anya held a bowl of medicine and was about to drink it.At the same time, my heart sank. “What was she drinking? What was it?”“Oh, she said she had a cold, and it’s cold medicine. “The Lady boss replied.“She left this behind.” The Lady boss quickly brought over Anya’s medicine.“Mark, go and check immediately. What’s in this medicine?” I instructed.Mark looked closer and replied worriedly, “Mr. Carter, the formula is abortion medicine.”Boom!I staggered and almost lost my balance. My
Lady Boss’ POV:I scoffed before changing the channel with a remote control.Unexpectedly, Evan Carter also had a press conference on another channel.I switched a few channels consecutively, all of which were news about Evan Carter looking for Anya Walter.Evan booked the prime time advertising for several TV stations for this purpose.“If any of you know the whereabouts of Anya Walter, please inform me. You will be rewarded handsomely.” Evan promised.“Oh my! Evan Carter is lofty indeed to look for a missing wife on Prime TV. A rich man always gets his way with money.” I looked at the young woman subconsciously as I commented sarcastically.Only then did I realize something unusual with the young woman before me.She wore a cap and sunglasses in an ordinary outfit.However, her temperament was different from the home stays other guests. She had exquisite facial features, and her skin was delicate and translucent.To be honest, she looked a lot like Anya Walter.My heart skipped a be
Anya’s POV:I returned to the small clinic to get the medicine at the agreed time.“Doctor, is the medicine ready?” I asked.The doctor nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it is ready for collection.”“I concocted some medicine that’s less harmful to the body and has milder medical effects.”The doctor was alone in the small clinic. There were no nurses. He handed the medicine to me.I looked and saw a dozen black-brown medicinal bags in the plastic carrier. “How do you take it?”“It’s a traditional medicine ready for consumption. Take a packet every morning, noon, and night for three consecutive days. The fetus will turn into blood and discharge through your vagina.” The doctor instructed carefully.My brows knotted, and I vaguely felt my abdomen twitch, as if the fetus inside me sensed danger and protested silently.“Okay, how much is it?”“400 dollars.”I frowned again. Then I took out $400 from my wallet.The fee was indeed a little expensive.A reputable hospital would have cost less t
Author’s POV:Soon, the news of Anya Walter’s disappearance had spread like a wildfire.The media found out about Anya Walter’s disappearance through the mysterious informant.By the end of the day, the news has already been released online.“Evan Carter left dejected as his pregnant ex-wife escapes.”“You run, I chase… You can’t escape even if you have wings! Anya Walter deliberately disappears.”Evan Carter’s relationship with his ex-wife crumbles completely. Anya Walter was possibly abandoned.”As soon as the news was released, the Internet exploded again, and the entire city joined in to watch the show.“What’s going on between Mr. Carter and his ex-wife? Why is there so much news every other day? I hear so much about their melodramatic lives that I am tired of watching them.”“That’s right! We can’t have a moment o
Anya’s POV:I thought it over seriously for a night and decided to abort the child with pills.The hospital was not an option for me right now. Besides, there were laws against abortion.Soon, I put on a disguise and made my way to a private clinic.“Hello, what can I help you with?”“Do you have an abortion pill?”“No, no.” The doctor refused, repeatedly, sizing me up suspiciously.“Please help me, doctor! I need the abortion medicine. How much is it? Just tell me. I know you must have it here.” I took out $200 from my pocket.The small clinics certainly had abortion drugs and private abortion services.However, to avoid being investigated by the police, they never sold them openly.“Uh… You have to think about it carefully. Do you want the abortion medicine?”“Yes, please help me!” I was wearing a cap, a large mask, and s
Evan’s POV:My chest heaved violently as I digested Kester’s words. My face twisted in a murderous rage.Judging from Kester’s tone, he was probably telling the truth. Anya had not come to look for him. This made me even more worried.If she encountered bad people, the consequences would be more unimaginable.Soon, night fell.I returned home and rushed to the second floor.After looking at the safe, I was even more anxious.“Mr. Carter, we still haven’t found her…”The bodyguards had searched for an entire day, but they still couldn’t find Anya.They had no choice but to return and report their failure to me. “Mr. Carter, the bodyguard team faces constrains in our abilities. Perhaps, we should call the police instead.”When I heard this, the corner of my lips twitched. “Call the police? Is there something wrong with your worthless brains?”
Evan’s POV:Soon, all the nurses and bodyguards of the Carter family had joined to search for Anya.“Anya… Anya…” My eyes were bloodshot as I punched the bed frame.I knew Anya had not forgiven me.No wonder she had been behaving like a docile lamb. As it turned out, she had been planning her great escape the whole time.She deliberately pretended to reconcile with me, so I would let my guard down.No wonder she acted as though she had forgotten about the past. She was already making plans to flee.“I will give you two hours to find Anya. If you can’t find her, you'll get lost.”“Got it. Mr Carter!”Gael was calling again.I answered the call, feeling slightly frustrated, “What is it?”“Mr. Carter, bad news. I just checked the safe. Miss Anya’s document and passport are missing.”When I heard this. I felt wave
