Kester’s POV:Stories about Anya had been cooked up and one by one, they were posted online.Overnight, the whole internet is full of the news about Anya.Every day, when Anya went to the office, she was surrounded by the reporters and strikes who were waiting for her in front of the Walter Group.I had advised Anya many times not to go to the company, but she still insisted on going to work daily.That day, early in the morning I went to meet Anya in her hotel with the bunch of flowers.“Oh, hey, Kester!” Anya greeted me as she opened the door with a spatula in her one hand. It seemed like she was cooking for her kids.Even though there are three nannies, Anya still cooks for her children from time to time.“Have you eaten anything? Sit down and let’s eat together.”Saying that she poured me a glass of milk and went to the kitchen to make another sandwich for me.I nodded, sat down, and started eating.To be honest, I had always hated sandwiches. However, since it was made by Anya, t
Author’s POV:The next day, someone posted something anonymously about Anya.“Three crimes of Anya Walter!”The title draws Netizens’ attention at once.There were thousands of words in the article.It recorded Anya’s whole life from her birth up until now.Especially in her teens, when she had returned to the Walter family Group and had been shunned by everyone, including Frank Walter who had never given her any fatherly love.This article seems to be criticizing Anya, while it allowed everyone to take a more global approach to this issue.Netizens’ opinions were not too easy to change, but they had already taken a glimpse of the full picture, which was the crucial first step.Not long after that, another shocking news was posted on social media.“An Easy Prey-The story of Anya Walter and her Blood Sucking Family!”It mainly talked about Anya’s mother.Even Frank’s background had been revealed in the article, too.It turned out that Frank was just Karl's adopted son and Anya’s mother
Tina’s POV:Soon, me and my mother arrived at the Cater mansion.It was located on a mountain near the coast.Although the mansion is old, it was one of the most expensive estates in X City.Even though the Cater family had countless properties all over the world, Old Mrs. Cater always lived in the old mansion.During the holiday, Evan also comes back here to live with his grandmother.We drove along the mountain, slowly getting into the lush greenery. Even the oxygen here was abundant and clean.X city was a very busy city, and the air pollution was also serious. Nevertheless, this place is like an isolated fairyland.As we reached at the gate, a handsome young guard stopped the car and asked warily, “What are you business here?”My mother rolled down the window hastily and said with a smile, “It’s me. I just got off the phone with your butler. I have an appointment with Old Mrs. Cater at ten o’clock!”“Oh, you must me Mrs. Walter,” the young guard said as he opened the door.Then, o
Evan’s POV:Both of us remain silent for quite a while.Then, I finally spoke first with an angry snort, “Grandma was the point of seeing her sons?”“Oh, you stupid child! Do the maths. Those two boys might be your children!”My jaw nearly dropped after hearing this. “What? No way! That impossible! I asked her, and she told me herself that they are not my sons.”“Alas! You don’t understand women at all. She hates you so much, and she might be saying that to simply make you mad.”“To make me mad?” I blinked stupidly.But then, it came to me. ‘Indeed, I had been quite awful to her, and it made sense!’“Anyhow bring the boys over first and take paternity test.” Grandma said, “If they are not your son, so be it. However, if they were your kids, they can’t wander alone out there without a father!”“Well, I see…”Anya’s POV:After the work of five days, I finally moved into my new apartment. After all, I can’t always live in a hotel, since I want to settle here with my kids.After I had cle
Tina’s POV:However, things didn’t go as we expected. On the next day morning, before these news stories could get out, accounts of the trolls hired by my mother were blocked.The public attention had shifted from Anya to a popular actress, Ellen Smith.She was a new star in Kester’s company, she won her first best actress award yesterday.Besides, Ellen just announced she had a boyfriend who was an accomplished actor.The news instantly rocked the whole internet.It caught the public’s attention.However, I know that it was nothing but just a marketing strategy masterminded by Kester’s company to protect that bitch.They just wanted to distract the public’s attention from Anya.“Mom, I told you. It doesn’t work.”Although she had spent a lot of money, it didn’t work at all.“Let me figure out another way to deal with her.” She said, gnashing her teeth in hatred.“Tina, Mr. Cater will be back soon. Get ready to pick him up.”“Remember to further your relationship. You have been dating
Anya’s POV:He didn’t take the business card and said sourly, “No thanks I will ask my assistant to inform you if there is something important.”I frowned and asked in a cold tone, “What is it you want to see me about?”Evan cleared his, throat seemingly embarrassed, and said, “Well, my grandma wants to see the two kids. So…”However, before he could finish his words, I interrupted him angrily.“Sorry, Mr. Carter! We can talk in the company if you want to discuss anything about work. I don’t think we need to meet in private. Besides, my kids are not obliged to meet strangers. Sorry, they can’t go see her.”I refused firmly.Grace is a shrewd woman.She must want to see the kids because she was already wondering if they were Evan’s kids. If she saw them, she would surely let Evan take them to do the paternity test.By then, it wouldn’t be easy to get the kids back.In anger, Evan hit the elevator wall and said, “Anya, don’t overdo it…”“Evan that’s what I want to say to you! We made a
Anya’s POV:I struggled desperately.Unfortunately, my resistance did not affect her. Instead, it brought more danger.“Evan, don’t… please…”His kisses were, fierce, hard, and aggressive.My shirt was torn.At that moment, fear overwhelmed me.This imperious man had been never gentle to me.When we were still married, he had already been so tyrannical.The harder it was for me to bear, the ruder he was.Seeing me in pain, he feels pleasure and satisfaction.“Let go him…”I struggled and bit him hard.The smell of blood filled in my mouth.However, instead of letting me go, he became even more fierce.Suddenly, I felt a pain in my neck as he was holding me so tightly.With tears streaming down from my face, I beat him feebly.I hated this terrible man very much.Till today, I still didn’t know why I had loved this man so much before.I even loved this heartless man from the bottom of my heart.My love for him has made me humble toward him whenever I face him.But this man… he had neve
Paul’s POV:Today when I received Tina’s call, I was flustered for a moment. Because recently, she had stopped looking for me.I liked Tina, but I knew that I was not good enough for her.I was already very content to meet her secretly like this.“Are you alright? Can you tell me what happened?” I asked more gently.Tina sneered, “What’s the point of telling you? You are just a gigolo.”Hearing that, I grinned and my posture and gestures became more wanton and provocative…“Oh, my God… Be gentle…”“I am a gigolo. So what?”I was infuriated by this remark and my moments became fierce. What’s more, I know Tina liked wolf-like men like me.And just as I expected, Tina indulged in it again.I know that I could give her nothing materially.Even the high cost of the Lily bar was far beyond my competence. Tina was the one who paid for it every time.However, I had an awareness of my advantages.So, I served Tina very well every time we met and let her fully enjoy the pleasure of being a woma
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
