Anna's Pov "Mr. Knight, please, I don't want to be indebted to you because you've done so much for me already," I said, feeling a sense of gratitude and obligation. "Can you help me get on my feet, but I will pay you back, somehow, someday?" Harvey's expression softened, and he looked at me with a hint of surprise, as if he hadn't expected me to say that. "Anna, you're stubborn, I'll give you that," he said with a chuckle. "But you're also proud, and I admire that about you. However, this isn't about being indebted to me. This is about investing in your future. And I'm not just talking about the money. I'm talking about the connections, the resources, and the guidance you need to succeed." I shook my head, feeling a sense of desperation creeping in. "But I can't just take all of this from you without giving something back. It's not right. I need to know that I've earned it, that I've worked for it." Harvey sighed and rubbed his temples as if trying to ward off a headache. "A
Anna's Pov When I first drove to Harvey's company, I was completely taken aback by what I saw. Following the location sent to me on my G****e Maps, As I pulled into the parking lot, I couldn't help but feel a sense of intimidation. The building was sleek and modern, with a gleaming glass facade that seemed to stretch up to the sky. I had never seen anything like it before, and I couldn't help but wonder what kind of company could afford such an impressive structure. As I stepped out of my car and approached the entrance, I noticed the name "Harve Enterprises" emblazoned on the side of the building in bold, silver letters. It was then that it hit me - Harvey my fake husband was the owner of this massive company. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized that the rumours I had heard about the company's owner being the most dangerous and being one of the most influential, some even said, he was a dangerous figure in the business world. business world could it be true? I cou
Anna's pov Over the next few days, I worked tirelessly to prepare for the competition. I honed my business plan, practised my pitch, and researched my target market until I could recite the statistics in my sleep. I was determined to come out on top, and I was willing to do whatever it took to make it happen. I barely slept or ate, I was so focused on my goal. Harvey tried to intervene, but I waved him off, insisting that I was fine. And in a way, I was. I was fueled by my determination, and I didn't need much else. As the hours turned into days, my hard work and dedication began to pay off. My business plan was solid, my pitch was confident and convincing, and I had a deep understanding of my target market. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as I reviewed my materials, knowing that I had given it my all. I had left no stone unturned, and I was ready for whatever the competition might throw my way. Despite my exhaustion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitem
Anna's pov I walked into the restaurant, looking forward to meeting James to discuss my final preparations for the last day of the competition. As I scanned the room, my eyes landed on two familiar faces that made my heart sink - my ex-husband, Lucas and my sister, Chloe. I hadn't seen Lucas since our divorce, and I certainly didn't expect to see him here at the restaurant. Now they are free to showcase their affair publicly i know Chloe, who had always been jealous of me. I felt a knot in my stomach as they caught my eye and started walking towards me. "Anna, long time no see," Lucas said with a smirk, his eyes gleaming with malice. Chloe chimed in, "Yes, Anna, we were just discussing how proud we are of you for making it so far in the competition." I guess they saw it on the internet. I knew they were up to something, trying to make me uncomfortable and throw me off my game. I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "What do you want, Lucas?" I asked bluntly. "Oh, we

I take my place at the podium, and the judges welcome me with smiles. a few minutes later, I was called to present my work, I began my presentation, speaking clearly and passionately about my real estate business and its potential for growth and impact.

Anna's pov As I stepped into the shower, the warm water enveloped me, washing away the excitement and joy of my recent success. I had just won a prestigious business competition, and my team and I were supposed to be celebrating. But I knew I couldn't avoid family dinner, no matter how much I wanted to. My father's summons was not something I could ignore. I got dressed in the elegant outfit that Harvey asked the stylist had careferfully selectected for me. The expensive dress and perfectly coiffed hair made me look like a confident woman, but inside, I was still the same anxious and uncertain person. The stylist's cheerful chatter and Harvey's encouraging smiles couldn't mask the tension I felt as I prepared to face my family. As I entered the dining room, my family's eyes turned to me, their expressions ranging from indifference to disapproval. My father's gaze lingered on me, his eyes narrowing as if searching for something to criticize. I took my seat, trying to prepare
Anna's povAs I sat on the sofa, anxiously waiting for my husband to come home, I couldn't help but worry. It was already past midnight, and he still hadn't returned from work.I tried to call him, but he didn't answer. I felt my stomach tighten with each passing moment. Being heavily pregnant, I was worried that something might have happened to him.I petted my bulging stomach and whispered, "Baby, don't worry, Daddy will be here soon." But deep down, I wasn't so sure. My husband had been working long hours lately But I never complained.I understand he has a company to run so I have no choice but to support his every decision as a food wife.He is always away sometimes on a business trip and even sometimes he spends weeks and months in his penthouse Just as I was about to call him again, I heard a noise coming from the entrance of the house. I got up from the sofa slowly but I fell back, my back hurt so much that I lost my balance when standing up.I managed to get up from the
Anna's PovMy husband looked at me with a cold expression on his face and said,"You lazy woman, how dare you order pizza for me to eat? What's your use in this house?" My left hand covered the spot where he had slapped me. I was so tempted to hit him back, but I held myself back. I couldn't believe that he would raise his hand on me, especially since I was pregnant. The fact that he didn't show any remorse for his actions made me feel even more hurt and angry. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks as I tried to hold back my emotions. I am a black belt holder in martial arts, and despite my condition, I could easily hurt him in return. But I've loved this man for over ten years, and I wouldn't like to have any issues in my marriage. It was not the first time that he had hit me, and I was tired of being treated like this. I knew that I had to do something to protect myself and my child. I decided to make him understand that his behaviour was not acceptable. I took a deep breath a
