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:I struggled desperately.Unfortunately, my resistance did not affect her. Instead, it brought more danger.“Evan, don’t… please…”His kisses were, fierce, hard, and aggressive.My shirt was torn.At that moment, fear overwhelmed me.This imperious man had been never gentle to me.When we were still married, he had already been so tyrannical.The harder it was for me to bear, the ruder he was.Seeing me in pain, he feels pleasure and satisfaction.“Let go him…”I struggled and bit him hard.The smell of blood filled in my mouth.However, instead of letting me go, he became even more fierce.Suddenly, I felt a pain in my neck as he was holding me so tightly.With tears streaming down from my face, I beat him feebly.I hated this terrible man very much.Till today, I still didn’t know why I had loved this man so much before.I even loved this heartless man from the bottom of my heart.My love for him has made me humble toward him whenever I face him.But this man… he had neve
Paul’s POV:Today when I received Tina’s call, I was flustered for a moment. Because recently, she had stopped looking for me.I liked Tina, but I knew that I was not good enough for her.I was already very content to meet her secretly like this.“Are you alright? Can you tell me what happened?” I asked more gently.Tina sneered, “What’s the point of telling you? You are just a gigolo.”Hearing that, I grinned and my posture and gestures became more wanton and provocative…“Oh, my God… Be gentle…”“I am a gigolo. So what?”I was infuriated by this remark and my moments became fierce. What’s more, I know Tina liked wolf-like men like me.And just as I expected, Tina indulged in it again.I know that I could give her nothing materially.Even the high cost of the Lily bar was far beyond my competence. Tina was the one who paid for it every time.However, I had an awareness of my advantages.So, I served Tina very well every time we met and let her fully enjoy the pleasure of being a woma
Anya’s POV:As I looked at the messages sent by Kester, I didn’t know what to say.So, I didn’t reply to him.‘What was Kester like?’I knew him.Probably, the reason why he gave me all his tenderness was because he had never got me.I don’t know what’s wrong with me recently.Strangely, I suddenly became sensitive again.After divorcing Evan, I once promised myself that I would never fall in love with anyone again in my life. Because being in a relationship with someone could only bring me nothing but pain.But now… it’s just been only four years… but my mind was again in a mess because of Evan.Frowning, I opened my bag and took out some pills of sertraline and paroxetine. Then, without hesitation, I took them.After that, I threw myself into the work again.Since I didn’t come to the company these days, I have a lot of business to do.So, today I decided to work overtime to get all these things done.My team was starting to roll in.So, it was time for me to get rid of some deadwoo
Jerry’s POV:Hearing someone called Maria, me and Jason ran over excitedly and exclaimed, “Maria, was Mommy calling you?”“Yes, you Mommy said we would go out for dinner tonight. She asked you to get dressed right now.”“Yeah, that’s great!” Jason exclaimed.Then, we both hurried and changed our clothes.After changing the clothes, we happily went downstairs with Maria.Then, we stood at the gate of the community with Maria, waiting for our Mommy.It’s been only one minute since we were waiting when all of a sudden, some malicious-looking men in black suits came over.Then, without saying a word, they forcibly took me and my brother.Seeing this Maria freaks out.“What are you doing? Put them down! This is kidnapping! Help!”Maria cried as she tried to snatch us back.However, she was more than fifty years old and she was too weak to snatch us back.“Ouch…”Maria was pushed to the ground by a man in black.“There is kidnapping! Help!”“Let go of me! Let go of me!” I shouted.However,
Jenny’s POV:Ten minutes later, Jimmy entered the office with Marlowe.Marlowe walked in and looked at the mess on the ground. He teased, “What, who provoked Miss Gracia?”I rolled my eyes coldly and growled, “What brings the prestigious President Yanice here today?”A sly look appeared in Marlowe’s eyes as he said in a glib tone. “Miss Garcia, long time no see. I miss you.”I snorted, “If you have something to say, just say it.” I rolled my eyes arrogantly and impatiently.Marlowe might be one of the wealthy second generation, but he was not popular in the elite circle of the rich second generation.After all, Marlowe had been imprisoned for nine years. Moreover, his reputation was not good. The elite circle of affluent second generation was not very willing to associate with him.“Look at what you are saying, Miss Garcia. You are so distant…”
Anya’s POV:I frowned. “Evan, are you serious?”He looked solemn, “Of course. There is a piece of land in the back of the house that was bought a few years ago. It had just been used. It come handy now. We will build children’s playground for our children to play.”I frowned and looked at Evan, transfixed.“Also, I have thought about it. My next step is to invest in a school.”As he spoke, Evan touched his chin and said regretfully, “Tsk. Why didn’t I think of investing in this sector in the past? If we had invested earlier, it would be more convenient for the children. However, it's not too late. When they go to middle school and university, it will come in handy. I have already thought about it. When they were in middle school, I would send them overseas for education. During vacation, they can come back to X city for private classes.”I was completely speechless after heari
Anya’s POV:I was thinking silently on the hospital bed, not reacting to him. After receiving utensils from him, I ate mechanically.If I left him, I needed money.I plan to sell the properties in M city and Green town. At the same time, I would also sell the properties overseas.Evan had once given me black card. I had used part of it, but there was still over $20 million on it.I could use this time to cash out all these things and then choose the right time to leave him.Seeing that I only ate rice and didn’t pick any of the other dishes, Evan leaned over and peered at me few seconds. He asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like this? Are you feeling unwell?”“I am fine. It’s just that my calf hurts a little,” I replied quietly.“I will call the doctors and tell them to prescribe you some painkillers.”“No need. It's not good to take too many painkillers!”When Evan heard this, he held my hand again. “Anya, I am sorry. I won’t force you anymore. If there is anything,
Anya’s POV:I didn’t reply. Due to the anesthetic, I was in a daze. I turned over slightly and continued sleeping.At 6:00 PM, Miranda came to deliver dinner with one servant.Jason, Jerry, and Flora all followed.As soon as the three children entered the ward, they couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, do you have a baby?”I looked at my children and hesitated.The three little fellows didn’t know that I had experienced the moment of life and death when I jumped off the house today. They thought that it was only because I was pregnant that I was hospitalized.Of course, it was also because Evan ordered not to let anyone tell the children that I had jumped today.“Mommy, can I look at your belly?”“Is Mommy going to give birth to a little sister or brother again?”Evan replied on my behalf. “That’s right! Are you happy?”“Yes, if Mommy gives birth to a baby, will she still love us?”“Silly, of course!”Jason grinned, “I want a little sister.”Jerry chimed in, “I want a sister, too!”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:What a surprise.I had wanted to have another child, but Anya refused. The last time Anya accidentally miscarried made me feel heartbroken.It was great that she is finally pregnant again.In the ward, I could not contain my joy. “Anya, are you awake?”Anya was lying on the hospital bed. Her calf was already injured, and she was a little out of her wits.I have forgotten about the conflict and argument just now. I excitedly shook Anya’s arm, “Anya, I have some good news for you.”Anya’s face was numb.I continued, “The doctor said that you are pregnant? We are having another baby.”Anya’s POV:When I heard this, my eyelids dropped slightly, but I still didn’t reply.The child came at the wrong time. I didn’t want to give birth to his child again.Evan buried his head in my belly, sticking close to this unborn child. “Anya, are you happy?”“I hope this child is a girl so Flora can have company. However, it doesn’t matter if we have a boy. Anywhere, the more, the better. Aft
Anya’s POV:I was still in a mental breakdown. What Evan said was completely unbelievable.After a few seconds, the blackout in her head dissipated. “Evan, don’t force me. I want to leave this place. Let me go. If you don’t let me leave this place, I will die now!”“Anya, don’t be rash. Think about the children. Can you bear to leave the children? If you die, what will happen to the children? Can you bear to see them without a mother?”I was stunned and calmed down.If I die, the children will certainly be very sad.However, if I stayed here, I would certainly die.“Evan, I want a car. Let me go. I am leaving now. Give me a password and identification…”“Anya, don’t push your luck!”Evan subconsciously took another step forward.Seeing him move, I panicked even more. “Don’t come over. Don’t come over!”My emotions turned increasingly unstable, and my hoarse roar made me black out and fall out.“Ah!!”Evan’s POV:“Anya…” I cried out in surprise. I rushed forward and grabbed the handrai
Anya’s POV:Footsteps sounded outside the door.My heart tightened. Evan seems to be back. I will hang up first.”As I spoke, I hurriedly hung up the phone.At the same time, the door was kicked open.Evan walked in with a gloomy expression. “Anya, who are you talking to?”“No, no one.”“No one?” Evan’s eyes were filled with a sense of murder.“Give me your phone.”“I really didn’t…” Fear appeared in my eyes.Evan sneered and snatched my phone away.Evan’s POV:In the past month, I deliberately didn’t confiscate her phone to see if she could contact Kester.Of course, Anya’s phone had already been installed with this listening system. I would know if she called anyone.After reading the call log, I smile sinisterly. “Didn’t you say you have nothing to do with Kester? Why are you calling him now? Do you want him to save you?”Anya’s POV:Seeing this I retreated in fear.Looking at the fur in his eyes, I trembled.In the past month, my depression had relapsed again. I was struggling and
Anya’s POV:I know that he loved to speak in reverse.He was just provoking me by saying all of this.If I did, as he said, he might end up kidding me.“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” Having lost patience, he grabbed my collar, lifting me.I lifted my eyelids slightly, looking at him with exhaustion and indifference.“Evan, I am really tired. Can you just let me go?”Evan’s POV:My heart skipped a beat while my brows furrowed immensely.Meanwhile, my heart aches as well.I was not a narrow minded man, but when it comes to ambiguous relationship between Kester and Anya, I offered no room for tolerance.I couldn’t bear the thought of her having another man in her art, even if it was just a small fraction.Her beautiful eyes were now filled with endless sadness. “Evan, let’s let go of each other. I don’t want anything anymore, and I just want a little freedom. Please let me go. I am willing to give up everything, including the Walter group.”As her last sentence trailed off wear
Evan’s POV:Anya kept her eyes shut, allowing me to shake her,However, her response drove me to the brink of madness.She was like a flexible knife, seemingly harmless but capable of inflicting significant harm.She excelled at the silent treatment and disliked arguing with me.It seemed to me that no matter how angry or violent I became, she would retaliate in the gentlest yet most devastating way.It always drove me to the brink of madness, making me want to conquer her in bed.Anya’s POV:In the next few days, I continued suffering from high temperatures.Because of that, Evan, perhaps carrying a hint of humanity, did not punish me further.Besides, he had to go to M city to manage the Green Bay construction project, so he didn’t spend much time in X city.In other words, I had narrowly avoided a disaster.After five days of recuperation, my body had recovered to some extent. Although the fever had subsided, I felt mentally exhausted.However, there was no way for me to leave.She
