Mia’s POV:Seeing his tacit agreement, my heart jolted.When Tina came home last night, she had asked what she should do as it seemed like Evan was going to break with her.At that time I thought she was joking.But, now it seemed that Evan really did ask to break up.“What the hell is going on? Did you break up with Tina?”Evan let out a sigh of relief and made no reply.In an instant, I knew I had guessed correctly. Then, I immediately start creating a scene, crying out, “How can you do such a horrible thing to Tina? If anything happens to her, I’m going to hang myself at the doorsteps of Carter Corporation. You are so heartless. You have dated Tina for six years and wasted six years of her youth. And now you are leaving her like this. You are so merciless. I’m not going to live anymore!”Hearing that, Frank sighed deeply. With a sad face, he tried to pursue me, saying, “We’re at the hospital. Don’t make a scene. Let’s wait till Tina’s operation is over first.”“I don’t care! If any
Anya’s POV:I could overlook it when others did not believe me or reprimanded me.However, seeing that my father didn’t believe me, still made my heart ache.Since young, I always worked hard and tried my best to excel in everything, so that I could get my father's approval.However, no matter how hard I tried, my father had always been cold and indifferent to me. He never praised me, nor did he even give me fatherly love.Now, I had finally accepted the fact.I no longer wanted to please him any more expect anyone to nourish me with love.“Dad, I’m not hooking up with Evan Carter. I had no idea they had split up.”I was pissed off.Evan had made my life difficult for the past two days.I also broke my arm because of him.However, instead of criticizing him, everyone was blaming me.Mia scoffed and lashed out. “Humph! You didn’t know. Why would you be here if you don’t know? If you don’t seduce Mr. Carter, why would he go to see you in the middle of the night? If it were not for you,
Evan’s POV:“Tina! You must wake up! What I’m supposed to do if you don’t wake up.” Mia said, crying out loudly.Frank raised his eyebrows and patted me on the shoulder. “Evan, you have been with Tina for six years now. You have a complicated relationship with both of my daughters. So, you should think about how to resolve it. You have hurt Tina before, and she can’t take being hurt again.”I frowned.Mia whimpered. “Evan, you must be responsible for Tina. She is a nice and innocent girl. She is different from other women. She already has a relationship with you. You can’t hurt like that.”Hearing that I draw in a breath. I wanted to say that I didn’t do it with Tina, but I swallowed it back.It was pointless to talk about it anymore.After all, we had been dating for six years. Nobody else would believe me if I said I hadn’t had sexual intercourse with her.But the truth is, I had never touched her.When I was in need, I spent money on other women.When we were done, I paid them and
Anya’s POV:“Have you completed the discharge procedure?” I asked.Kester frowned and said in a concern. “I haven’t done it yet. You are hurt so badly. I still think you should stay in the hospital for a few more days.”Hearing that, I persisted in getting out of bed. “No! I can’t stay in the hospital. Ora will be scared if she doesn’t see me!”“All right, then. I will fill out the paperwork for your discharge.” Kester said helplessly.“Okay!”After half an hour later, Kester completed the discharge procedure.Till then, I also changed my clothes. Since I have a splint on my arm, it was a little inconvenient for me to do.After Kester returned with my medicines and sundries, we were ready to leave.As we opened the ward door, my father suddenly appeared at the entrance.I was surprised to see him, “Dad…”“Anya, what are you doing?”Perhaps because I didn’t get enough fatherly love as a child, his simple greeting warmed my heart.Thinking that he came to see me, I said, “Dad, I’m alrig
Anya’s POV:After returning home, I saw that the house had already been tied up. And I know that Kester must have sent someone to do so.“Anya, I think you should move! I still have a mention in Black Hollow Bay. “It’s vacant, so you can just move in!”“No thanks! I’ve troubled you enough already. I should not disturb you anymore!”“How would that be troubling me? The house is empty anyway. Its perfect for you!”“No! It’s too far for me and my workplace!”Kester sighed and stopped insisting. Eventually, he gave in and said, “Okay. Just let me know if you need anything.”“Thank you, Kester!”“There you go again! How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t have to thank me!”Hearing that, my feelings become even more complicated. ‘Kester treated me so well. I just wish I know how to repay him.’ I thought inwardly.As soon as opened the door, Emily ran towards me with red eyes. “Miss Walter, you are back!”“Where is Ora!”“Ora has a fever! I was just about to call you!”When I he
Mia’s POV:As I exited the ward, I broke out in a wide smile.“Oh, thank goodness. Mr. Carter is finally marrying Tina!”“As soon as they got married, I will make sure I rub it in Mrs. White, Mrs. Patel, and others faces!”Frank frowned and said, “Look at you! Tina almost died. How could you still be in the mood to show off?”“Well, the process was frightening, but we get a happy ending. I didn’t expect her to have some of my old tricks up her sleeve. She sure pulled a cruel trick!”Just then, Harry and David also rushed to the hospital.“Mom, Dad how is Tina?”The duo prepared to push the door and enter the ward as they spoke, however, I quickly stopped them.“Don’t go in there. Tina is inside having a talk with Mr. Carter. Don’t go in and disturb them!”“Oh!”“I have a great news for you. Tina is finally getting married!”Harry looked surprised. “Really?” he asked.“Of course!”He slapped his thigh in excitement and exclaimed, “That’s great!”“Mom, Dad, I want a sports car!”Hearing
Paul’s POV:As I ran to the nurse’s station, I asked anxiously, “Which word is in Miss Tina Walter?”I was worried sick when I heard what happened to Tina.So, disregarding the danger of being discovered, I rushed to the hospital just to visit her.“Oh, I’m a friend of Miss Walter. I come special to visit her because I heard she had an accident.”“Miss Walter is in ward number 7.”“Alright, thank you!”With that, I went to a mad dash for ward number 7.However, when I got to the ward, I saw Mia and her husband there, so I dared not to intrude.So, I just wait outside. About more than an hour later, Mia and Frank finally left the ward.Mia had gone to the restroom, while Frank had gone to get food for Tina and Mia.I took advantage of this moment and spread into the ward.“Tina!”I had missed Tina to the core.Some time ago, she told me that she was getting married and would like to end our relationship.That night, I was mad as hell to take Tina into my arms, objecting to her wishes.
Evan’s POV:After resting for ten days, the wound on her wrist more or less healed up.On the day she was getting discharged, I went to the hospital to pick her up. Mia and Frank were also there.“Oh, Evan, now that Tina has been discharged from the hospital, what is your plan for marriage?” Mia asked.With a barely manageable smile, I answered, “We planned to go pick the wedding gown in a few days, but only after Tina’s body had completely recovered. After that, we will pick an auspicious date to get engaged.”Hearing that Mia’s mouth twitched slightly.I could tell from Mia’s expression that she was not satisfied with my answer.“Okay, then. You two call the shots. As your elders, we will only offer our advice when needed. Let’s hop in.”After the driver opened the car door, Mia got in the car first followed by Frank and Tina.I was the last to slide into the car.As the car headed for the Walter residence, my heart became heavier and more entangled as I thought of my feelings towar
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
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
