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:As I looked at the messages sent by Kester, I didn’t know what to say.So, I didn’t reply to him.‘What was Kester like?’I knew him.Probably, the reason why he gave me all his tenderness was because he had never got me.I don’t know what’s wrong with me recently.Strangely, I suddenly became sensitive again.After divorcing Evan, I once promised myself that I would never fall in love with anyone again in my life. Because being in a relationship with someone could only bring me nothing but pain.But now… it’s just been only four years… but my mind was again in a mess because of Evan.Frowning, I opened my bag and took out some pills of sertraline and paroxetine. Then, without hesitation, I took them.After that, I threw myself into the work again.Since I didn’t come to the company these days, I have a lot of business to do.So, today I decided to work overtime to get all these things done.My team was starting to roll in.So, it was time for me to get rid of some deadwoo
Jerry’s POV:Hearing someone called Maria, me and Jason ran over excitedly and exclaimed, “Maria, was Mommy calling you?”“Yes, you Mommy said we would go out for dinner tonight. She asked you to get dressed right now.”“Yeah, that’s great!” Jason exclaimed.Then, we both hurried and changed our clothes.After changing the clothes, we happily went downstairs with Maria.Then, we stood at the gate of the community with Maria, waiting for our Mommy.It’s been only one minute since we were waiting when all of a sudden, some malicious-looking men in black suits came over.Then, without saying a word, they forcibly took me and my brother.Seeing this Maria freaks out.“What are you doing? Put them down! This is kidnapping! Help!”Maria cried as she tried to snatch us back.However, she was more than fifty years old and she was too weak to snatch us back.“Ouch…”Maria was pushed to the ground by a man in black.“There is kidnapping! Help!”“Let go of me! Let go of me!” I shouted.However,
Anya’s POV:Fortunately, Jerry and Jason were only slightly injured. They were all right after the doctors sterilized their wounds and applied some ointment. Kester was also not badly hurt. He just needed to be simply bandaged.“Anya, if you don’t want to send them abroad, how about sending them to V City?”“They will be in kindergarten soon. There is an exclusive private kindergarten there. You can send them there to study.”“V City is also close to X City and it’s only an hour away by boat. And you can visit them every week.”“Let them take shelter for some time. After Evan and Tina get married. He will probably forget it and won’t disturb you.”Pausing for a while, Kester continued, “Ora still has not been exposed. You don’t need to worry about her. Just let her stay by your side!”Hearing that, I looked at him with some hesitation.X City and V City were separated only by sea. Although V City was small, it was the only city in the country where gambling was allowed. And the Helsen
Anya's POV:When Aura finally fell asleep, I sighed, turned off the light, and came out of my daughter’s room without making any noise.“Beep-beep.” Suddenly, my phone rang, frightening me.It was an unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Anya, where did you hide the children?”Evan’s angry voice comes from the other side of the line.I replied in a brusque tone, “What’s wrong with you? They are my children and have nothing to do with your family. Don’t disturb us anymore. I will sue you if you abduct the children again!”Evan swallowed and growled coldly, “Tell me, where are the children?”“I have sent them study abroad! Don’t waste your time.”Evan explained, “Anya, Grandma is getting old. She just wants to see the children!”“I’m sorry, but I’m under no obligation to meet your request.” I said firmly.I know that if children went to see Grace, they would be forced to stay here. Grace she shrewd woman. She would not release them easily.After a pause, Evan said, “Anya you have only o
Frank’s POV:After Mia finds out that all her trusted followers were fired by Anya, her blood boils from anger.“Damn! Anya has fired six of my cousins!”“She is so cruel!”She cursed Anya while crying and punched me from time to time.However, I didn’t say anything and just kept smoking.“Frank, see what your daughter did. If you don’t do anything to her, she is gonna be more rampant.”I drew my cigarette and sighed, “What can I do? That rebellious girl disrespects me. Will she be polite to your people?”“You are such a wimp. You are her father, and you cant even control your own daughter. I think you should hold a press conference and serve ties between father and daughter with her.”I slapped my thigh and said with a weary face, “Hey, let’s not bring something like this to the press! Isn’t it disgraceful enough? Beside, even if I’m not the chairman, our family still has lot of savings and so many side businesses. We can still live our lives!”Mia snapped back, “How is that same? Wa
Anya’s POV:Evan sneered and drawled, “Stop pointing fingers if you don’t have any proof. What did I do? What does have the plummeting of Walter Group shares have to do with me?”Infuriated, I took a sharp breath and clenched the phone.“What the hell to you want?” she asked.“What do I want? Isn’t it clear to you?”I roared into the phone, “I’m telling you that there is no way its going to happen. The child has already gone abroad and its unlikely to return soon! And for the record, the child has nothing to do with you and the Carter family! We are adults. Please don’t resort to this underhanded tactic.”Evan stuck my tongue out. “Here, Are you angry?”I was rather speechless by my response. “I will damned if I’m not.” I cursed angrily in my mind.A wicked grin broke onto Evan’s face as he spoke deliberately in a rascal tone, “I just love it when you are pissed off but can’t get to me.”Evan burst out in laughter after saying this.I rolled my eyes in annoyance. ‘I would have killed
Author’s POV:When the store clerk answered the phone, she realized the other person was looking for Anya, so she handed the phone to her.“Anya, I am here! I am sending someone disguised as a deliveryman. You can leave in a delivery truck.”“Alright, I understood.”“Miss your clothes.”“Oh, I don’t want these clothes anymore. They are yours!”“What?” The shop assistant was dumbfounded.In her years of retail, she never encountered such a customer who paid the usual price but refuse the clothes.Moreover, these clothes were expensive, with a price of clothing over $2000.If more customers were like this, she had struck gold.****Evan got into the car, preparing for a citywide search.“Hey, wasn’t that Evan Carter just now?”A group of people brushed past them, with none other than Evan’s sworn enem
Anya’s POV:My heart was pounding wildly, and I hastily walked away.Seeing that I was about to run into another group of bodyguards, I had no choice but to duck into a women’s clothing store.“Welcome! Miss, do you want to buy clothes?”“We have the latest styles here. Feel free to look around.”I quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the rack and darted into the fitting room.“Miss, you have a good taste. This is one of our new arrivals.” The saleswoman enthusiastically introduced.I carefully opened the door of the fitting room and said to the saleswoman, “Yes, I am quite satisfied with this piece. Could you please pick up a few more for me?”“Oh, of course! I will go pick some for you right now.”“Wait, could I borrow a phone, please?”“Sure!” The saleswoman smiled sweetly and enthusiastically handed the phone to me.I took the phone and returned to the fitting room.After pondering for a while, I couldn’t resist calling Kester!I didn’t want to trouble Castro again, but I coul
Tony’s POV:After hanging up the phone, the woman quickly discarded the phone in the trash can and hurriedly left.Sitting nearby, Tom and I looked at her with our mouths agape.I whispered, “Did you see that woman just now? She just tossed away her phone after spending $200 to make a call. This is just too extravagant.”My friend Tom nodded repeatedly, “With such lavish spending, she surely must have a lot of cash on her.”“Looks like our golden opportunity has arrived…”With these words, the two of us exchanged knowing looks.The greed on the edge of our courage, we decide to rob her.Observing she had left the overpass, we hastily got up and stealthily trailed her.Anya’s POV:I exited the overpass.It was already past ten in the morning. I presumed Evan would arrive shortly.“I can’t stay here. I need to leave now!”I was about to hail a taxi to escape from there.Unfortunately, this was a commercial district, and taxis were scarce.I tried to hail more than ten cars in a row, but
Evan’s POV:Boom!My heart almost stood still. I felt like I had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.I returned to my senses a moment later and said hoarsely, “I don’t believe you. You must be lying to me.”“Anya, you hate me, but the child is innocent. You must be lying to me, right?” I took a deep breath, unwilling to accept the fact.My parents passed away when I was young, and I had no siblings. My children were my only bloodline.I already had three children.However, when Jason, Jerry and Flora were born, I was not by their side. I didn’t experience the joy of being first time father then.I was fully prepared this time around and waited eagerly to welcome a new child into the family.Therefore, I could not accept the abortion.Anya paused momentarily before replying coldly, “I am telling the truth. The child has been aborted.”“I don’t have to lie to you. There is nothing else for you to expect!”Suddenly, there was utter silence on the other end of the phone.I could hear the 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
