Evan’s POV:After I returned to my room, I didn’t even bother to take a shower and immediately lay in bed.I was seething in anger and fuming, so naturally I was not in a mood to coax her.Hence, I appeared even more cold and perfunctory than usual.In the blink of an eye, one hour passed.I got some sleep. After I woke up, I couldn’t fall asleep again.Thus, I decided to go downstairs and take a breath in the courtyard.However, as soon as I went downstairs, I saw that Tina was still in the living room and not yet asleep.I looked at my watch. It was almost midnight.“It’s so late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” I asked.Hearing my voice, she quickly turned around and wiped the corner of her eyes with her tissue.I strolled to her side and realized that the trash can was already filled with huge tissues.Her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed like she had been crying for a long time.“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” My expression turned cold and I quickly sat down on the sofa and
Tina’s POV:I was also a little anxious. I began to wonder if he could do it. Otherwise, why he couldn’t get into a mood?‘Was he unable to do it? Or was he not turned on by me?’We continued like that for a while longer.After another 10 minutes passed, Evan had completely given up.My eyes were filled with doubt and disappointment.However, he got up from the bed and said, “Tina, perhaps I’m too tired today, that’s why I’m not interested at all. Let’s wait for another day to do this. Well, till I have had my rest.”“It’s okay, Evan! We can take it slow!” I hurriedly sat up from the bed, wanting him to try again.However, he left the room in frustration.As I watched as he left.My eyes widened. He had performed earlier.I couldn’t help but compare him to Paul.‘No wonder he didn’t touch me for all these years. Its turned out that he is sexually impotent?’As the thought came to mind, I couldn’t help but shudder.‘If he really is impotent, then what was the point of me marrying him?’
Tina’s POV:“Why not? I have a recipe here. I will send you later. You can follow the steps and make it for Evan. If still doesn’t work, you can only treat his illness with use of the medicine!” She counteredI sighed in frustration. “But such a thing is hard to say.”She paused for a moment and hurriedly said, “Don’t say such a thing in front of Evan. It will hurt his pride. Just make it according to the medical cuisine recipe.”“Mom, what if he rainy couldn’t do it in the future?” I asked worriedly.“Silly girl, it doesn’t matter if we can or cannot. Even if he really can’t, it doesn’t matter. He is so rich. He will think of a way to solve it.”“But…”I wanted to say something more, but she interrupted. “No, but! I will give you a prescription later. Just followed it. I’m playing poker now, so I will talk to you another time.”“Oh, okay!”“I’m hanging up.” She hung up after saying that.I was feeling distraught and could only hang up too.Mia’s POV:I was currently being harassed by
Anya’s POV:Kester and I were in the process of arranging the factory’s office when suddenly my phone rang.Seeing that it was a call from Daisy, I quickly answered.“Hello?”Daisy’s anxious voice comes from the other end of the phone. “Miss Walter, I have got a bad news.”Hearing that my heart skipped a beat. “What is it?”“Just now, the Moon Group Vice President called and said that he wanted to cut off the Walter Group’s Supply.”“When did this happen?”“He just called.I was so angry that I was rendered speechless.Needless to say, Evan must be behind this too.‘If he wants me to die, there are too many despicable method that he can use.’“How much stock do we have now?” I asked.“We only have enough for this quarter. We don’t have any supply for the next quarter. So we have to find a new supplier.” Daisy answered.“Okay, I understand!” Saying that I hung up the call.Kester asked worriedly. “Anya, what happened?”I sighed. “The Moon Group cut off the Walter Group’s supply.”“So,
Anya’s POV:I know that both of them deliberately opposed me because Evan had instructed them to do so.In short, they only need to do one thing. Their goal was to get me removed from the board of directors.Seeing that I couldn’t convince the two of them, I could not be bothered to argue with them anymore. “Okay, let’s not argue any more, since you don’t want them to stay in Walter Group, I will let them work in the factory in M city. Will that do?”Mr. White shrugged, “Oh, in that case, we have no objection. After all, your factory in M city has nothing to do with us. You can pay them however you want.”“All right then. Today’s meeting is over.” I announced.“Wait a minute. The Moon Group has cut off the Walter’s group’s supply. How are you going to solve this?”“That’s right. We won’t have any goods to sell the next quarter. Where can we find a large supplier at such a critical juncture?”“I will think of a way!”“What can you think of?” the two men questioned.I choked in anger. “
Evan’s POV:After looking at each other coldly for a few seconds, she suddenly said, “Well, you just want to sleep with me. Go ahead then!”As she said, she took off her jacket.She looked at submission, but her filled with hatred and resentment.I felt an overwhelming sense of exasperation when I looked into her eyes.‘Does she think I’m some sort of animal who will take advantage of her helpless plight?’All I wanted was for her to leave Kester.I didn’t just want her body. I want her heart too.“Anya why are you degrading yourself? Are you going to sell your body just to get what you want? Will you remove your clothes and sleep with the men just because he can give you what you want?”“Evan, you are such a strange man. What exactly do you want?” She asked angrily.I pinched her chin and said gruffly. “What do I want? Don’t you know?”“Please stay away from me. Can we talk properly? Don’t touch me.” She took a step back in disgust.Her reaction made me seethe with anger.‘Did she re
Anya’s POV:I smiled as my brows slightly furrowed. I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart, but it was only fleeting.I used to love him so deeply.Back then, all I got in return was humiliation and torture. So, I no longer dared to love him. I vowed never to love him again.I could never forget the pain he had inflicted on me.I know that he had never loved me, so I no longer long for him to love me.“I know that you have countless mistresses. There is no need to hold on to me.”With that, I walked away without looking back.“Anya you will certainly regret this!”With my back facing him, I sneered. “The only thing I ever regretted is loving you. Looking back, it was the worst time of my life. Its my greatest regret. A man like you doesn’t deserve any love!”Evan’s POV:Hearing her words my body filled with anger. I chased after her and forcefully pulled her back.“Anya!”“What now? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead, hit me! Anyway, this is not the first time you have hit me!”Hearing
Evan’s POV:In the past month, I didn’t visit Anya, nor did I look for other women.Now that I had eaten such a rich food one could imagine how much heat was trapped in my body.After dinner, I took a shower and got ready to sleep.As soon as I lay in bed, Tina pushed the door open and walked down.“Evan.”“Why did you come in?” I frowned.“I don’t want to sleep alone.”I didn’t respond. However, I didn’t turn her away either.Since the two of us are about to get married. There was no need to maintain any distance.Seeing this, I didn’t resist. She snuggled in my bed like a tame rabbit.She lifted the blanket and lay in my arms.“Evan, can we try again tonight?”I sneered. “Do you think I can’t do it?”“No, I didn’t mean that!” she looked nervous.I didn’t say anything else, turned around, and pressed her down with my body.I kissed her lips domineeringly.She shed all her pretense and was very cooperative.I was indeed feeling very irritable that night.I needed a woman.“Evan…” She
Author’s POV:Half an hour later, Evan arrived at the Walter Group on time.“Hello, Mr. Carter, why are you here?”“I have an appointment with Anya.”“Oh, Miss Walter is in the office. I will bring you there.”Evan didn’t say anything and just strode toward Anya’s office.He was very familiar with this place and didn’t need anyone to lead me the way.“Oh my God! Why is Mr. Carter here?”“I don’t know. It’s amazing!”“Do you think Mr. Carter will help Miss Walter?”“That’s hard to say. If Mr. Carter is willing to help, our company will certainly be able to survive this!”“Let’s hope so!”Anya’s POV:“Miss Walter, Mr. Carter is here!”Daisy pushed open the office door. Her voice was filled with excitement.I also subconsciously stood up from my chair.Then, Evan walked in. As usual, he was wearing a nice suit and looked fabulous. He always looked so noble and elegant.“Evan, you are here…” I didn’t know what to say and could not help but feel nervous.Evan’s POV:I sized up Anya and fel
Anya’s POV:After the call, I felt even more despair.In a month, I couldn’t raise $600 million.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just as I hung up the phone buzzed again.“Hello, Ethan!”On the other end of the line, Ethan said in a heavy voice. “Miss Walter, when are you coming back? The company is in a mess now. Many employees are asking to resign. Also, our partners are requesting to terminate our contracts. Please come back quickly. The company really can’t hold on anymore!”“Okay, I understand. I will make time to go back in the next few days.”“Okay. I will try to comfort our business partners again.”“Alright!”After hanging up, I leaned against the hospital bed weekly and tiredly.The fact that Walter Group was about to go bankrupt made everyone panicked.Even if I sold all my properties, I would not be able to raise $600 million.I stayed in the hospital for another three days.Kester had been lying in the intensive care unit for 12 days.Today, after repeated examination, the doctor confi
Anya’s POV:Miranda came back after buying some food.Seeing me in a daze, she hurriedly went forward and asked, “Anya. What’s wrong?”“Something happened to the company,” I said as I pushed my hand into my hair.The Walter Group was already like a candle in the wind right now. Now, it was pushed to the center of this storm. It was very likely that the Walter Group would be destroyed.Especially at this time, I didn’t know where else I could raise so much money.Six hundred million dollars!With companies current stock value, even if I sold all my shares, I would not be able to raise $600 million.Miranda’s eyes darkened, “What happened to the company?”“In short, it's a very tricky matter. The Walter Group is very likely to be bankrupt!”“Is it that serious?” Miranda was also frightened.I didn’t speak, feeling lost and helpless.Miranda’s eyes turned red, “Anya, how much do you need? I still have ten thousand dollars here. Just take it first.”I smiled bitterly and leaned weekly on
Tim’s POV:The more I listened, the more irritated I became. These women only cared about money.If she didn’t mention money, the Helsen family would certainly not let her be short of money, because we were such a wealthy family. However, she kept asking for money by all means and didn’t actually care about Kester at all. Which was really repulsive.“Wait till the labor first! During this period, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must stay here and wait for the delivery.”“Huh? I don’t think you should make me do that.”I completely lost my patience. I stubbed out the cigar in my ashtray and said to the bodyguard beside me, “Keep her under guard. If anything happened to the child, she doesn’t need to be kept alive anymore.”“Yes, Mr. Helsen!” The bodyguard said and went forward to snatch her arm.“Miss Ellen, please come with me.”She seemed to be in pain when the bodyguard snatched her. She blacked out and almost lost her balance.“Mr. Helsen, I will give birth to the child, bu
Evan’s POV:In the parking lot, I sat inside the car and smoked one cigarette after another.At this moment, I wanted to go up and see Anya. However, I was afraid of bumping into the Helsen family members.“Daddy, we are back!”“Mm-hmm, Let’s go!”The two little fellows got into the car, and the driver started the car and drove out of the parking lot.“How is Mommy now?”“Daddy, Mommy’s very sad!”When I heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared on my face. There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.Anya’s POV:After I recovered some of my strength, I immediately got off the bed.I intend to go to see Kester.When Miranda saw this, she hurriedly went forward to dissuade me. “Anya, your body is still so weak. Rest more. You have not slept for two or three days. If this continues, you won’t be able to take it.&
Anya’s POV:I don’t know how long I have been unconscious.I suddenly woke up from my dream, “Kester… Kester…”“Anya, you are awake?”“Mommy, you are finally awake!”I opened my eyes groggily. What greeted my eyes was Miranda’s anxious expression, as well as Jason and Jerry’s adorable faces.“Jason! Jerry! Why are you here?”“Mommy, you are finally awake. Daddy send us here.”Upon hearing this, I struggled to sit up.“Anya, you are weak now. You must not get up.”Jason said with his tears, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”“Don’t be afraid. Mommy is fine. Where is Flora?”“Flora is sick. Daddy was afraid that there would be germs in the hospital. So, he didn’t let Flora come here.”“Where is Daddy?”“Daddy is waiting d
Anya’s POV:In the blink of an eye, Kester had stayed in the intensive care unit for two days.I also have been keeping watch outside the door for two days. Other than Miranda staying back to company me, everyone else had gone back.Tim was also advanced in years and didn’t continue to keep watch over Kester eventually. However, he comes to the hospital visit every day.“Doctor, how is Kester? Has he regained consciousness?”“Not yet.”“Can I go in and see him?”“Not yet, for now!”When I heard this, I stumbled and almost lost my balance.Miranda hurriedly supported me, “Anya, how are you?”“I am fine. I am just a little dizzy!”“Look at you. How can you take it if you carry on like this? Before Mr. Kester wakes up, you wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.”I tried my best to support my body and said
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
