Anya’s POV:Upon hearing this, I seethed with anger.‘How could it be the same?’When I gave birth to my first child, I lost all hope and felt utterly alone in the world.And now, burdened with various troubles, I had no desire to endure another pregnancy, especially since Tina Walter was also pregnant.If I and Tina gave birth to our children consecutively, the entertainment reporters in X city would undoubtedly create a commotion.‘Who knew what kind of storm it would unleash?’“Do the right thing and have a child.”“Evan, it’s impossible. I am telling you, it’s impossible.” I weekly refused.Ignoring me, he walked directly to the table and said, “Came and eat.”“I won’t eat! I won’t touch any food! If you won’t let me to leave. I will starve death right here!”“Fine!”He didn’t utter another word. He simply grabbed his phone and sent a message.A moment later, the door swung once again.“Mommy...”Jason and Jerry hurriedly entered from the outside door.The servant also carried Flo
Anya’s POV:I was powerless to protect my children. All I could do was watch as my children were taken away.“Evan Carter, I hate you. Why are you doing this to me? How could you?”“Dry your tears and come over to eat! Quick!” he commanded.“I can’t eat.”“You have to eat. If you are obedient, I will get the children to come and see you tomorrow. If you still defy me, I will send the children overseas tomorrow!”As I listened, my eyes, turned red and I looked at Evan with resentment and anger.However, he remained unaffected. He raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze calm yet provoking.“I will count three. You should be right over for dinner. You know, I always keep my word!”I rolled my eyes and tears welled up instantly.I had intended to stand my ground against him, but the moment I saw the children, I crumbled instantly.This damn jerk always knew how to exploit my vulnerabilities.Receiving no response from me, he began to count, “One.”My heart tightened and I looked sharply at h
Evan’s POV:Fifteen minutes later, the family doctor rushed over.“Mr. Carter, how are you? Miss Walter, are you alright?” The doctor greeted us.I furrowed my brows. “She has been experiencing constant sickness and can’t eat anything. Please check if there is any treatment available!”I watched it attentively as a doctor examined Anya, checking her pulse, listening to her heartbeat, and measuring her blood pressure.“She is suffering from serve malnutrition and intense anemia.” The doctor gravely informed.“And?” I raised an eyebrow.The doctor furrowed his brows, his expression serious. “Her health is in such a critical condition that I recommend… terminating the pregnancy!”“What?” My eyebrows shot up in shock.The doctor furrowed his brows and said gravely. “Miss Walter’s health condition is such a poor state that I suggest… terminate the pregnancy!”“Isn’t there any treatment available?”The doctor paused for a few seconds. “If you insist on having this child, Miss Walter must ur
Tina’s POV:I had been living in Sherane Bay Villa for many days.However, Evan didn’t visit me even once.Today, I couldn’t resist and came to the Carter mansion.Children were under its roof and I know Evan would undoubtedly make an appearance to see them after work.“Miss Walter, how's your day?” one of the servants greeted.“Has Evan finished work?” I inquired.“Yes.” This servant replied“Oh, what about three kids? I bought them some toys.” I mentionedAlthough deep down, I harbored a burning desire to throttle Anya’s three kids, I had to maintain a facade.The servant responded truthfully. “They were taken away by Mr. Carter.”“Where did he take them?”“I don’t know.” The servant responded.Upon hearing this, my heart sank and an overwhelming sense of foreboding engulfed me.“Fiona, come over here. I need to ask you something.” I called out one of the servants.She looked around, ensuring nobody was paying attention, and hurriedly entered the room with me.Once inside, I couldn’
Tina’s POV:After ending the call, I felt disoriented.Despite being born into a wealthy family, I couldn’t come up with 20 million in cash instantly.After pondering fall for a while, I decided to call Mom.“Hey, Tina!” she answered the call.Overwhelmed with the emotions, I couldn’t hold back the tears and cried. “Mom…”“What’s wrong?” She asked concern.I sobbed, “Mom, I think I got into trouble.”“Don’t cry, what happened?”“Mom, where are you? I will go back and find you.”“I am at home.”“I rushed back to the Walter House in no time.”She looked anxious. “What’s the matter? Is Mr. Carter giving you trouble again?”“No, it’s not that.”“Then, what it is?”I had intended to spill everything to my mother, but at the last moment, I hesitated and held back.It would be better not to burden my mother with this.“Mom that awful Anya is pregnant.”“What did you say? Say it again?”“Anya, that wretched woman is pregnant and shes carrying Evan’s child.”“What?” Mom’s face was frozen, ange
Mia’s POV:An hour later, I arrived at my cousins’ place.I had arranged a meeting with them the day before, so, the two were already waiting for me.“What have you to be up to? Do you still want the money?” I angrily pointed a finger at my two cousins.Wallace flashed a sly smile, “Mia, we have already set the plan in the motion! But damn, this woman is so lucky. We missed her twice!”I grew annoyed and scolded, “I don’t care about your methods, just get rid of her as soon as possible. Otherwise you won’t get $200 million.”“Believe me. We will certainly take care of it.”“Don’t just talk. You always show some damn enthusiasm when it comes to money! But when it get serious, you always make excuse.”“We have already take action. Last month, we almost ran her with a car right in front of our company building! But out of nowhere, Mr. Carter showed up and saved her! And recently, we almost succeeded in ladies room in Green Town! But that woman reacted quickly, and we could not stab her h
Evan’s POV:My face remained devoid of expression.But an overwhelming wave of tenderness surged within me!These kids were mine and soon Anya would give birth to another one.The six of us would live together.Suddenly, I realized that this could be the ordinary happiness I had been missing!“Mommy, is there going to be a little sister in your belly?”“Uh…” Anya still has her eyes fixed on me.“Why are you looking at me? This child is asking your question.”She rolled her eyes and shifted her gaze to the kids. “Maybe! She won’t be born for a few more months!”“Wow, when the times come, I will bake cookies for her.”“If you have a little sister, will stop favoring me?” Flora asked one of her brothers.“No way. I will love you just as the same.”Jerry lay on the bed and asked thoughtfully, “Mommy, are you tired? I will give you a massage.”Jason hurriedly climbed onto the bed. “I will give Mommy a message too!”Jerry was holding onto Anya’s thigh, while the other was embracing Anya’s a
Anya’s POV:In an instant, I had been trapped here for a whole week.There was no way for me to reach the outside world, and no one could find me either.Kester had no clue what was going on.“Madam, it’s mealtime.”The servants brought in another round of nourishing food.“I want to go outside.”“Mr. Carter wants to stay in bed for rest.”I shot an irritated look at the servant. “I have been cooped in the house for an entire week. I am starting to lose it. I will die down again, I will go crazy.”“But…”The servants didn’t dare to make a decision.“I won’t go far, just a little stroll on the lawn.”“Then I will go check with Mr. Carter!”After a short while, the servant returned after getting instructions.“Madam, he said, you can go out to the lawn for a while.”Hearing that I put on my shoes and walked out of the room.Finally, after a whole week, I stepped outside the room.Although servants were tailing behind me, I could finally breathe in the fresh air.I stood on the lawn, my
Anya’s POV:I looked at Evan and said, “Evan, take a rest. Flora has fallen asleep. You should go back to work tomorrow.”“Don’t bother that. I want to personally stay with Flora. I feel more at ease this way.”“I can handle things here alone. You don’t need to stay.”“How can I leave? Flora needs me right now, and I will stay with her.”Anya’s body trembled.“Anya, once Flora recovers. Let’s get remarried, shall we?”Upon hearing this, my eyes instantly wrinkled.“Remarrying?”I had never thought about such a thing.“Evan, please, don’t bring up these matters right now. I just want to focus on curing Flora’s illness. I don’t want to think too much about anything else.”Evan’s eyes turned cold. “I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you one thing. I truly love you. And I you and you love the children. I like the idea of being a family with you and your children. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making a for the pain I caused you in the past. Anya, so let me unravel
Marlowe’s POV:Over the past few days, my face darkened with a malicious grim as I saw the increasing online news coverage about Evan.“Evan, this is only the beginning, I will meticulousely settle our accounts. These nine years, I spent in prison will not be in vain. I will make you fall for Grace and pay you a hundred times the price.”Tina sat provocatively by the side, adding, “President Yanice, the Carter Group, is already under investigation by relevant departments. I believe retribution will come soon. The show is finally starting. When the times come, I will present a big gift to Evan. I won’t let him retaliate. Haha, a delightful cooperation. President Yanice, once the Carter group collapsed, remember the promise you made to me won’t be broken.”I smirked maliciously, “Don’t worry. I will always keep my word.”“And. what is this big gift you mentioned?”She sneered, “I have brought another alley on board. With his assistance, we can deliver a fatal blow to Evan. When the cruc
Author’s POV:Online, a new wave of reports emerged.“The Carter Group Assaults Journalists, leaving two reporters seriously injured with severe concussions.”“Evan may face intentional harm charges.”“Two injured journalists are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. The Carter Group’s actions have sparked outrage among the entire X city.”The Internet was buzzing with the news about Carter Group’s bodyguard assaulting journalists.Although Coral attempted to suppress the website, the scandal of the journalist's assault was publicly reported by mainstream media outlets, making it impossible to contain.The footage depicted the journalist and bodyguard shoving and pushing each other unequivocally showing an assault had taken place.Various websites and platforms started sharing the official news reports, making it impossible to suppress the story.“Mr. Carter, the two journalists have filed a law against suit against Carter Group. We received the court summons today.”Evan too
Evan’s POV:I exhaled a plume of smoke, my face growing even more fearsome amidst the swirling haze.Marlowe was arrogant and domineering, bordering on madness. He had spent nine years in prison, not directly at the hands of me, but indirectly due to his actions.If he didn’t seek revenge against me upon his release, it would be a surprise, indeed.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped directly at the children’s hospital.“We have arrived at the hospital Mr. Carter.”“Hmmm!” I stepped out of the car, shook off the scent of smoke from my body, and walked straight to the ward.In the word, Anya sat beside Flora, carefully feeding her some liquid food.“Sweetheart, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”“Mmm, not as uncomfortable as before.”“Then take one more bite.”“Mommy, I can’t eat anymore.”“Come on, just one more bite. You need to eat a little more.” Anya scooped up a spoonful of nutrition supplement and held it near Flora’s mouth.“Okay,” Flora recently opened her mouth and swall
Author’s POV:Evan went to the Carter Group.There was a meeting in the conference room.All the executives and shareholders were in uproar as they kept asking questions.“Mr. Carter, what should we do? You have to give us an explanation so that we can be at ease.”“That’s right! Now that Carter Group is being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This is a serious problem. If we don’t deal with it properly, we won’t be able to meet again in the future.”“We invested so much money. It won’t go down the drain, right?”Evan's face darkened. He looked coldly at everyone. “If anyone is afraid, he can withdraw from the Green Bay project now.”When the shareholders heard this, they exchanged glances and could not make up their minds.The Green Bay project was already ready for construction, and it was about to bear fruit. It was not worth to withdraw now.However, Evan was now being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. If they failed, they would be
Tina’s POV:Now that I had achieved my goal, of course, I didn’t wait to move out.Otherwise, if Evan found out that I was playing tricks behind his back, I wouldn’t know how I die.During this time, Zachary and I had joined hands with each of us having our ulterior motives. We had already broken through the line between men and women and made love together.Zachary took me to visit the place he had found for me.“How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?” He asked.It was a small villa complex. It was top-notch residents, but it was still a high-end residence.I looked around at the decoration of the Villa and smiled. “It’s not bad.”He hugged my shoulders and kissed my lips vaguely. “Stay here for a now. I will get you a bigger place in the future. Don’t worry. If you allow me, I will make you have a good life.”I smiled and hooked my arms around his
Anya’s POV:Although Evan was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.At the children’s hospital, the two of us entered the ward one after another.“Ora, Daddy, and Mommy are here to see you.”On the hospital bed, Flora had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why are not you here with me?”Flora had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and bones.Evan came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently, “Isn’t Daddy here now?”Flora blinked weekly and looked at him saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the future?”“Of course!” Evan reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.
Evan’s POV:“The Carter Group, President was taken by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Evan is suspected of money laundering and illegal financing.”“Someone reported Evan for money laundering and bribery.”In less than three hours, the matter of me being investigated had already become a trending topic.It was clear that someone was adding fuel to the power.“Someone reported for your illegal financing and money laundering.” the agent asked.“I am not answering any of the questions without my lawyer.” I crossed my arms and looked calm.After all, this was the first time I had to deal with these people.“You have the right to remain silent, but your every word will be used against you in a court of law.”I had crossed my hand and didn’t say a word, no matter how the agent asked. I didn’t say a word.Soon, 24 hours passed. I
Anya’s POV:I watched from the side. I bit my lips tightly and held back my tears.Evan hugged my shoulder and smiled gently. “It’s fine. Flora will survive.”“Okay!” I nodded sadly“How is it? Am I ugly?” Evan teased as she touched his bald head.I looked at him and smiled with tears in my eyes. “Have you been handsome before?”Baldness was a standard of testing, handsome men. Even though Evan had shaved all his hair, it still couldn’t hide his compelling handsomeness. He even looked more manly.In less than ten minutes, Flora's soft hair was shaved.Evan took out his phone and said to the nurse. “Miss, please take a family photo of us.”“Okay,” the nurse quickly took the phone.I hugged Flora, Jason, and Jerry. Evan opened his arm and hugged the four of us.The nurse took a family photo for us.“The pati
