Anya’s POV:Buzz… buzz…As I was sleeping, my phone suddenly rang.I picked up my phone on the bedside table. It was Kester!“Jester? What are you calling me for this hour?”On the other end, the line Kester’s worried voice replied, “Anya, have you seen the news?”“What news?” I rubbed my eyes, confused.“Check on your cellphone and read the entertainment news!”Hearing that my heart skipped a beat as I had a very bad feeling about this.I still remember how badly I had been roasted six years ago. Back then, I was still that innocent girl, and even thought about jumping off the roof to end my life. I prayed that it would not happen to me ever again.I shivered and unlocked my phone. And in an instant, more than five notifications popped up. And they were all about me.“After hooking up with her brother-in-law and getting kicked out, Anya Walter has moved to her next victim!”“The former lady of X city fell out with her family for inheritance. Her father was kicked out of the board, an
Evan’s POV:I left for my office early in the morning. I wanted to take care of my business affairs first before going back to my game with Anya.When I entered the meeting room, all the executives of the group were already sitting tightly with grim expressions on their faces.“Good morning, Mr, Cater.”As soon as I entered, they all greeted me.“Let’s get started!” I said as I stopped at the end of the long conference table and sat down.My secretary turned on the projector in a hurry and then served me a hot cup of coffee.One after another, the executives also turned on their laptops, ready to take notes!“We will focus on three aspects today, and…”I said as I opened my laptop, but my voice broke the next second.As soon as I opened the laptop, a picture popped out.Moreover, my laptop was connected to the projector so everyone in the room was now looking at a naked picture of a man on the big screen!‘What the hell!’All executives exchanged shocked glances and some of them were,
Evan’s POV:As soon as I entered the elevator, my eyes fell on Anya and Kester, who were standing at the side.At the movement, Kester’s arms were surrounding Anya’s shoulder. They look like a sweet, intimate, and perfect couple!Seeing this my face turned cold.“Anya Walter! What do you think you have done? You think you little prank will work without everything out?”Anya frowned deeply as she looked at me with her puzzled eyes. “What are you talking about?”I sneered at her, “Yeah, like you don’t know! Nice try! You know what? I could charge you for stealing information from the Carter group right now. That’s enough to put you behind bars for eight or ten years!”Anya’s face fell as she looked at me in confusion and asked, “I don’t understand any of that. You are going to charge me for what?”Huffing I grabbed Anya by the jaw! “For trespassing! For hacking into properties! For stealing my business information!”This seemed to irritate Kester as he pushed me away and said coldly, “I
Evan’s POV:I didn’t expect that being tugged on my tie by her like this, give me an erection. It seemed as if my body was still missing her. Hence, I didn’t break free, instead, I stepped forward a little and pinned her body against the conference table!Though I hated this scheming bitch to the core, I just couldn’t help myself to have a physical reaction when I was with her.“Ha, like it wasn’t you who photoshopped my nude photo,” I said.Anya took a glance at the nude photo on my phone and snorted with a sneer. “I am not that bored. And if it was me, I would have done the photo much better!”Hearing this, I snorted even louder. “Who knows if you had done lousy work on purpose? After all, you have a record. Isn’t that kind of your specialty?”Anya looks utterly furious. “I tell you one last time. I have never plotted against anyone. I have never… managed to sleep with you. I was framed. Believe it or not, I don’t care!”I leaned over the conference table, trapping her there. “It do
Evan’s POV:These four years of separation had tortured me like hell. I tried not to think of Anya, but she and her body haunted me day and night…So, the only thing I wanted to do right now was to conquer her.However, as I was about to get what I longed for, the rapid and loud knocks on the door interrupted me.‘What a bummer!’ I cursed.Then, I let off Anya at once.“You stay here and don’t go anywhere!” I ordered as I tidied up my clothes hastily.Then, I walked out of the door as if nothing happened.“Tina? What are you doing here?” I asked, resuming my usual demeanor.“I came to see you. I heard you were going to sign a contract with Anya. So, I decided to stop by.” Tina replied, with a sweet smile on her face.Then, she looked in the direction of the bathroom and asked, “Where is Anya? Isn’t she here?”Hearing that, I frowned. “The contract is signed. Let’s go now.” I said, putting my arm around her shoulder.Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Anya stormed out of it, stra
Looking at Anya, who came out of the bathroom in disheveled clothes and red eyes, my face turned ghostly white!After all, it didn’t need to be a genius to know what happened back in the bathroom, after looking at her.The thing I dreaded the most happened at last.Evan had never fully forgotten Anya and I know it.I tried my best to hide the hatred in my eyes, as Evan was still there, and I didn’t want to ruin my image in his eyes.However, I clenched my fists and thought to myself, ‘I will not give that bitch a chance to flirt with Evan again!’Frowning, Anya looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”However, I merely snake. Then, I turned around and slammed my head against the wall. In an instant, my forehead was swollen.Then, I collapsed on the floor and started moaning, “Ouch! It’s hurt. Don’t hit me, Anya! Please help!”And as I expected, Evan heard my voice and rushed inside in a hurry.Then, he walked up to me and asked, “What’s going on?”I held my head, looked at Anya i
Anya’s POV:Looking at them, I sneered. ‘Did they think that I was easy to bully!’After being a single mom for years, if I didn’t even know how to protect myself, then how I will be able to protect my children? So, I always carried a tapered the size of a lighter in my pocket.“How dare you taser me?” Evan asked fixed his murderous eyes on me as if a falcon was targeting his prey.I staggered back a little, but still, I managed to calm myself down. “It was self-defense. If you come at me again, I will call the police!”Evan snorted with angry laughter. “Call the police? Well, go ahead!”Of course, I know, how can he, as the number one man in X city, how can he be afraid of the police?To put it bluntly, even the local government needed the support of the Carter family! Even if the police came, they would side with Evan!“Don’t be angry, Evan. Anya don’t mean to…”However, before Tina could finish her sentence, Evan scoffed, “It’s none of your business. This is between her and me!”“R
Anya’s POV:“Anya it is not the end Tina growled. “You will pay for this.” Then she hurried out to chase after Evan.“Evan… Evan… wait for me. Evan, I didn’t say anything to her. You have to believe me!”Soon, her voice trailed off down the corridor.They were finally gone.I sat on back my chair. A palpitation attacked me again and my face turned ghostly white.Rose pushes the door open and hurries in. She looked at my pale face and asked with concern, “Miss Walter, are you okay?”I massaged my chest for a while and finally let out a long sigh. “I’m fine. Get me a cup of coffee!”“Yes!” Rose answered and went to fetch the coffee at once.Rose had been with me for a long, but she had been very disciplined, and she never asked the things she should not know. That’s why, when I came into the Walter Group, I put Rose by my side immediately.At lunchtime, as I went to the break room for some coffee, the conversation between the few employees, fell into my ears.“Wow, is this Miss Walter?
Evan’s POV:I also heard the news as well.When I heard that someone had fired a shot at the wedding, I was also terribly shocked.“Someone fired a shot at a wedding. Is Anya okay?”Coral reported, “I heard that Kester Helsen took a bullet for Miss Walter. Miss Walter is fine now. Kester Helsen is seriously injured and still in the hospital undergoing treatment. It was said that the bullet was 2 millimeters away from piercing his heart. He is not out of danger yet. Even if he wakes up, he will probably remain in a vegetative state in the future.”Hearing that I couldn’t help her gasped.Initially, I thought that no one could love Anya more than me. Now it seems that Kester loves Anya more than me.If I were in Kester’s shoes, I probably wouldn’t have instinctively taken a bullet for Anya in such an urgent situation.“Then, how is Anya now? Is she very sad?”&ldq
Anya’s POV:“Kester! Kester!” My eyes instantly widened as I threw myself into his arms and shook his body.“Kester, wake up! You must pull through!”The ambulance whizzed through the traffic without stopping for a moment.Less than ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.“Someone has been shot! Doctors, save him quickly!”The bodyguard carried Kester who was covered in blood and rushed into the hospital.When the doctor and nurses saw this, they were also badly shaken! After all in society, it was rare for people to be shot by a gun.Soon, Kester was sent to the emergency room.I followed him all the way. The white gown I wore was already covered in blood. I sank on the bench outside the emergency room, as if all my muscles and bones had been extracted.I was about to have a relapse. The depression that had troubled me for many years made me extremely di
Anya’s POV:I was also shocked, I was flabbergasted as I looked at Ellen.For the past few days, Kester had appeared uneasy and troubled. I had already guessed that something thorny must have happened.I had assumed that it was related to Evan all this while. I didn’t expect it to be connected to Ellen.Ellen walked up to me, “Miss Walter, I am now pregnant with Kester’s child. I don’t object to your marriage, but Mr. Helsen must give me and the child an answer.”I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t recover from my shock for a long time.“Anya, let me explain.” Kester instantly tried to explain.How was the truth right in front of my eyes? Any explanation would appear weak.“Oh, my goodness! Isn’t this the superstar Ellen?”“That’s right! I heard that Kester Helsen single-handedly groomed her until she became famous. So, she was also his secret lover.”“Gosh! There is going to be a good show to watch. Now, this is even more exciting than filming a movie.”“Tsk! Tsk! I didn’t come to today's w
Anya’s POV:On Kester’s side, many guests were attending the wedding, and there was also a special emcee to be a host for the wedding.The next day, I woke up early in the morning.The makeup artist and stylist began to work on my makeover. Rose, Daisy, and others had also changed into bridesmaids' dresses.As there were no elders present, Miranda stood in the elders on the bride's side.At eight o’clock in the morning, more than ten bridal cars set off in a majestic convey from the hotel.There was a joyous commotion outside the hotel. Kester bought more than ten groomsmen, and they headed for the hotel room together.“We are here for the bride.”“Mr. Helsen, we have to break the door down!” The groomsmen were causing a ruckus.The emcee directed the groomsmen as they livened up the atmosphere.There were not many bride-maids on my side. So, the bridegroom was not given a hard time. The room door was opened quickly.“Anya I love you.” Kester handed a bouquet to me.I smiled and took
Evan’s POV:Jenny was not my type at all, to begin with. In addition, I was feeling exasperated and didn’t want to say anything superfluous.When she saw my impatient look, she took a deep breath. “Evan, I know you are annoyed. But Miss Walter is already engaged. Why can't you let it go?”My eyes flickered. “Who said I can’t let it go?”“Evan, just let bygones be bygones! The weather is very good today. Why don’t we go out for a cruise in the sea?”“I am not in the mood!”“Evan…” Jennie tried to flirt coquettishly.Unfortunately, her actions made me even more disgusted. I have to work now. Please leave!”“Evan, I… I like you a lot. Can’t you just give me a chance?” She said.Jenny’s POV:I couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore and reached out to hug his arm.I had always been confident in my charm.However, I simply couldn’t conquer Evan.Nevertheless, I have always liked challenges with a high level of difficulty. The more unattainable a man was, the more I wanted him to kn
Evan’s POV:In the office, I sat on the leather chair. My face was terrifyingly ominous, but at the same time, it was ashen white.I had just undergone surgery yesterday. Although it was not a particularly major surgery, the scalpel was still used. It was very damaging to my overall well-being.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just then my phone rang. It was from Flora.“Hello, Baby!”On the video call interface, Flora leaned close to the screen. Her big eyes filled with worry, “Daddy, where are you now?”“What’s wrong baby?” My expression softened and revealed a trace of warmth.No matter how awful my mood was, as soon as I saw my daughter’s adorable face, all the awfulness instantly diminished considerably.“Daddy, did you not listen to the doctor? Did you secretly leave the hospital?” Flora looked with her big eyes. Her tiny face revealed a sensible manner that was incongruous with her young age.My eyes darted around. I didn’t want my daughter to worry and feel disappointed. “Er… No.”“Dad is ly
Anya’s POV:Around the evening, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!I looked at it and saw that it was called from Evan.“Kester, I have to take this call.”“Go ahead.”“Hello?” I walked to the bathroom and answered the call.Evan’s sullen voice comes out of the other end of the line. “Anya, where are you now?”I frowned and asked in a low voice. “What's the matter? Is there something urgent?”Evan said, “I want to see you.”“I am not free now. Let’s do it another day.”“No! Come at once. If you don’t, I will make you regret it.”Other than threatening me, Evan had no better way to get me to come to see him.“Evan, can you stop acting like this? If you continue to act like this, we can’t even remain friends anymore.”With that, I ended up the call.I couldn’t tolerate his foul habit of coercing me every time.I had already decided to marry Kester. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, I was duty-bound not to turn back.Evan’s POV:“Clatter!”After Anya ended the phone call, I slamm
Kester’s POV:I might be a playboy, but I was not a ruthless, cold-hearted man.Although I had no love for Ellen, I had been with her for so long after all. I couldn’t possibly give her a single cent.“I will give you ten million as a compensation. Go and abort the child immediately.”She was stunned and cried even harder, “Mr. Helsen, I don’t want money. Can you let me give birth to the child? I swear, I won’t disturb your marriage.”“Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital now and get rid of the child. Ellen, you’re still very young. Then there are still many opportunities to meet better men. Don’t let a child ruin your whole life.” I rejected Ellen’s request firmly.“Alright, since you don’t want this child, I will abort it. Transfer the money!”I frowned deeply. “No, I want to go to the hospital with you.”“What if I abort the child and you don’t give me the money?”“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry. The moment you get on the gynecological chair, I will transfer the
Kester’s POV:I had to settle the matter with Ellen as soon as possible. It had not been easy for me and Anya to get to where we are today. I couldn’t afford to let anything go wrong again.The next day, Ellen arrived at my home early in the morning.In the past, she often comes here to spend the night. So, she was very familiar with this place.I had just woken up when the servant, Zena, came in to report to me. “Mr. Helsen, Miss Ellen is here.”Hearing that I couldn’t help but frown. I had told her yesterday I would meet up with her, but I didn’t ask her to come to my house.To my dismay, she comes to my house.“Take her to the living room.”“Sure.”I hurriedly put on my clothes and went downstairs.In the living room, Ellen was still dressed provocatively and looked alluring as usual.She was wearing a spaghetti-strap dress and high heels. She h
