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?
Kester’s POV:Stories about Anya had been cooked up and one by one, they were posted online.Overnight, the whole internet is full of the news about Anya.Every day, when Anya went to the office, she was surrounded by the reporters and strikes who were waiting for her in front of the Walter Group.I had advised Anya many times not to go to the company, but she still insisted on going to work daily.That day, early in the morning I went to meet Anya in her hotel with the bunch of flowers.“Oh, hey, Kester!” Anya greeted me as she opened the door with a spatula in her one hand. It seemed like she was cooking for her kids.Even though there are three nannies, Anya still cooks for her children from time to time.“Have you eaten anything? Sit down and let’s eat together.”Saying that she poured me a glass of milk and went to the kitchen to make another sandwich for me.I nodded, sat down, and started eating.To be honest, I had always hated sandwiches. However, since it was made by Anya, t
Author’s POV:The next day, someone posted something anonymously about Anya.“Three crimes of Anya Walter!”The title draws Netizens’ attention at once.There were thousands of words in the article.It recorded Anya’s whole life from her birth up until now.Especially in her teens, when she had returned to the Walter family Group and had been shunned by everyone, including Frank Walter who had never given her any fatherly love.This article seems to be criticizing Anya, while it allowed everyone to take a more global approach to this issue.Netizens’ opinions were not too easy to change, but they had already taken a glimpse of the full picture, which was the crucial first step.Not long after that, another shocking news was posted on social media.“An Easy Prey-The story of Anya Walter and her Blood Sucking Family!”It mainly talked about Anya’s mother.Even Frank’s background had been revealed in the article, too.It turned out that Frank was just Karl's adopted son and Anya’s mother
Tina’s POV:Soon, me and my mother arrived at the Cater mansion.It was located on a mountain near the coast.Although the mansion is old, it was one of the most expensive estates in X City.Even though the Cater family had countless properties all over the world, Old Mrs. Cater always lived in the old mansion.During the holiday, Evan also comes back here to live with his grandmother.We drove along the mountain, slowly getting into the lush greenery. Even the oxygen here was abundant and clean.X city was a very busy city, and the air pollution was also serious. Nevertheless, this place is like an isolated fairyland.As we reached at the gate, a handsome young guard stopped the car and asked warily, “What are you business here?”My mother rolled down the window hastily and said with a smile, “It’s me. I just got off the phone with your butler. I have an appointment with Old Mrs. Cater at ten o’clock!”“Oh, you must me Mrs. Walter,” the young guard said as he opened the door.Then, o
Evan’s POV:Both of us remain silent for quite a while.Then, I finally spoke first with an angry snort, “Grandma was the point of seeing her sons?”“Oh, you stupid child! Do the maths. Those two boys might be your children!”My jaw nearly dropped after hearing this. “What? No way! That impossible! I asked her, and she told me herself that they are not my sons.”“Alas! You don’t understand women at all. She hates you so much, and she might be saying that to simply make you mad.”“To make me mad?” I blinked stupidly.But then, it came to me. ‘Indeed, I had been quite awful to her, and it made sense!’“Anyhow bring the boys over first and take paternity test.” Grandma said, “If they are not your son, so be it. However, if they were your kids, they can’t wander alone out there without a father!”“Well, I see…”Anya’s POV:After the work of five days, I finally moved into my new apartment. After all, I can’t always live in a hotel, since I want to settle here with my kids.After I had cle
Tina’s POV:However, things didn’t go as we expected. On the next day morning, before these news stories could get out, accounts of the trolls hired by my mother were blocked.The public attention had shifted from Anya to a popular actress, Ellen Smith.She was a new star in Kester’s company, she won her first best actress award yesterday.Besides, Ellen just announced she had a boyfriend who was an accomplished actor.The news instantly rocked the whole internet.It caught the public’s attention.However, I know that it was nothing but just a marketing strategy masterminded by Kester’s company to protect that bitch.They just wanted to distract the public’s attention from Anya.“Mom, I told you. It doesn’t work.”Although she had spent a lot of money, it didn’t work at all.“Let me figure out another way to deal with her.” She said, gnashing her teeth in hatred.“Tina, Mr. Cater will be back soon. Get ready to pick him up.”“Remember to further your relationship. You have been dating
Anya’s POV:He didn’t take the business card and said sourly, “No thanks I will ask my assistant to inform you if there is something important.”I frowned and asked in a cold tone, “What is it you want to see me about?”Evan cleared his, throat seemingly embarrassed, and said, “Well, my grandma wants to see the two kids. So…”However, before he could finish his words, I interrupted him angrily.“Sorry, Mr. Carter! We can talk in the company if you want to discuss anything about work. I don’t think we need to meet in private. Besides, my kids are not obliged to meet strangers. Sorry, they can’t go see her.”I refused firmly.Grace is a shrewd woman.She must want to see the kids because she was already wondering if they were Evan’s kids. If she saw them, she would surely let Evan take them to do the paternity test.By then, it wouldn’t be easy to get the kids back.In anger, Evan hit the elevator wall and said, “Anya, don’t overdo it…”“Evan that’s what I want to say to you! We made a
Anya’s POV:Therefore, after I said it once, the children remember it.“After the sauce is ready, cook the noodles. After the noodles are cooked, fish them out and mix the sauce on them.”“Oh, it looks like it’s quite simple.”“Yes, make sure to control the heat properly. Don’t let the tomatoes burn.” I advised as I demonstrated by cooking process to my son.“Let me try.” Jerry volunteered.I patiently instructed my son guiding him through the basics. Before long Jerry gaps the fundamentals.Time passed quickly. It was already 10:00 p.m.I went back to my room to sleep.For the past few days, Evan didn’t sleep in the bedroom. I felt relaxed and I slept earlier.Jason’s POV:Around 10:30 a beam of light showed from outside the courtyard.Jerry got up. “Jason Daddy’s back!”“Really?”“Yeah! I heard Daddy’s car.”“It's time to make spaghetti.”“Yes, yes.”The two of us made our way to the kitchen, tiptoeing quietly. Fortunately, the Carter household was quite spacious, and Daddy rarely v
Anya’s POV:Around 3:30 PM, Jason and Jerry return from the school.My arm injury might not have healed completely, but it was still reliably easy to make spaghetti.Since the children wanted to eat, I would certainly do it.“Mommy, we are back.”“Are you hungry? I will make you spaghetti?”Jason shook his head, “I am not hungry yet. Mommy, can you cook later?”“Yeah, sure!”“Then we will go practice riding now.”When I heard this, I frowned, “Jason, your arm hasn’t fully healed yet. The splint is still on. How can you ride a horse again?”“What if you fall again? Stay away from the hoarse for the time being?”“It’s okay. My arm is much better. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”“No! Be a good boy. Go finish your homework.”“Okay!”Jason replied upset and turned to return to his room.“Jerry, you are not allowed to ride during this period either. You have to stay with your brother.”“Mommy, my arm is fine. Why can’t I ride a horse?”I squatted down and looked at my son calmly. “When Jason sees
Anya’s POV:The servant prepared breakfast as usual. I woke up early in the morning and called the children for breakfast.Although I didn’t have to do everything myself, I still wanted to take care of the children as much as I could as a mother.“Jason, Jerry, hurry up and come over for breakfast.”The two little guys dawdled over, “Mommy, did you change the dressing on your arm?”“Yes, yes. I have already changed it.”“Oh!”As we were talking, Evan strode down the stairs.As usual, he was wearing a suit and looked noble and elegant. However, his face was dark as ice and exuded a murderous aura.When he passed by the dining room, the two little guys greeted him in unison, “Good morning, Daddy!”“Morning!” Evan replied.Without even looking at me, he passed through the dining room and walked out.Similarly, I didn’t give him a second glance. I treated him like an air.The two little guys looked at each other and exchanged glances. “Mommy, can you make spaghetti for us this afternoon?”
Evan’s POV:I was furious. I pressed her down in bed.I love conquering her in bed.However, this time, Anya didn’t resist. She was like a soulless doll.“Anya, I am now your creditor. I ordered you to speak to me. Don’t force me to break the contract, and don’t fight me head-on.”Anya closed her eyes. She didn’t resist or struggle.I could not bear to torture her and felt dejected.“Alright! You won. Do whatever you want! Anya, let me tell you one more time. Don’t think that I won’t be able to live if I leave you! Even without you, I am still me, underlying and unafraid.”I declared, my voice filled with growing aggression.In the final burst of anger, I forcefully slammed the door behind me and stormed off.Since she was ignoring me, I would let her be.In any case, I had to work to do. In the past, when I was happy, I would bury myself in work.
Anya’s POV:This time, I would never compromise again.Flora also pleaded for mercy. “Mommy, Daddy has already apologized to you. Can you forgive him? Mommy, I bag you. Please forgive, Daddy.”I was still unmoved.Evan had used our child as leverage, manipulating me with money and resorting to unethical tactics to control me.I had had enough.If I took a step back now, I would lose myself again which would lead the internal damnation.The Doctor came over to change the dressing again. The prescription was ready. “Mr. Carter, the patient has lost too much blood and will be staying in the hospital for two days.”“Okay.”“Anya, do you want some water?”I didn’t answer.“Drink some water.” Evan eagerly poured a glass of water.Lillian could not stand it anymore. “Mr. Carter, you didn’t sleep last night. Let me take care
Evan’s POV:I took a deep breath and said timidly, “Alright, alright, alright. I will die, alright?”While she was losing her mind, I jumped onto the table and rolled to the opposite of Anya like a cop.Then, I grabbed her arm firmly and snatched the broken wine bottle from her hand.“Let go of me! Evan, I am going to kill you!”I twisted her hand and hugged her tightly, “Alright, alright. I will let you kill me. Your hand is bleeding now. We are going to the hospital now.”“Can you kill me after your hand is bandaged?”“Let go of me, I will kill you right now.” Anya resisted with all her might.“Are you feeling better?”“Let’s go to the hospital!”Saying, that I forcefully carried her up.Anya’s arm was dripping with blood. Under the dim light. It was especially terrifying.I was terrified. I carrie
Evan’s POV:Having received a slap, Anya looked at me coldly,After hitting Anya, I felt my palm slightly numb. I was instantly sober.I couldn’t believe that I hit Anya again.The atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point. The girls huddled in a corner in fear.Half a minute later, Anya took a deep breath. Her anger reached it’s boiling point. With all her strength, she unleashed a powerful slap across my face. The sound was re-vibrating in the room.“Slap!” I also got a heavy slap.I was stunned for a moment. I looked at Anya in disbelief. My eyes almost spitting fire.Seeing this, everyone covered their mouths.After all, it was big news that I was slapped in public by my ex-wife.My bad temper was famous throughout the city. I had always been the one who hit others, and no one had ever dared to hit me back.My anger boiled within me, fueling my desire for revenge.
Evan’s POV:I was also a little tipsy. I subconsciously looked at my watch. “It’s already past ten. I should go home.”I didn’t want to drink with Jenny.I know she liked me. I didn’t want to give her any chance to flirt.“Evan, I have just arrived. Why are you leaving?” She looked disappointed.“That’s right! Jenny just arrived. If you leave, it will be too disappointing. You can’t leave. You promised to stay up all night tonight!”The siblings try to persuade me not to go back.Anya’s POV:I couldn’t get through to Evan so I called Coral.Coral quickly picked up the call. “Hello, Miss Walter.”“Coral, is Evan still in the company?”“Mr. Carter has already gotten off work and left the company a long ago.”“Then, where did he go? Did he go out to socialize?”&ldqu
Anya’s POV:My heart tightened and I quickly touched my daughter’s body.It was also very hot as well.The laboratory report from Flora showed that her platelets ratio was very low. The doctors said that she might have a leukemia attack and that having a fever would make her immunity even weaker.“Flora, I will take you to the hospital now,” I said as I wanted to pick my daughter up.“Rumble!”Crack!It began to rain heavily outside, and muffled thunder rumbled. Lighting tore through the night sky, one after another, and strong light showed into the house.“Mommy, I am scared.” Flora was most afraid of thunder. Every time there was a thunder, she would tremble in fear.“Don’t be afraid! Mommy is here!”“Mommy, where is Daddy? I miss Daddy.”Most daughters would feel safe with their father by their side. Flora was no exception. She
