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,
Anya’s POV:Fortunately, Jerry and Jason were only slightly injured. They were all right after the doctors sterilized their wounds and applied some ointment. Kester was also not badly hurt. He just needed to be simply bandaged.“Anya, if you don’t want to send them abroad, how about sending them to V City?”“They will be in kindergarten soon. There is an exclusive private kindergarten there. You can send them there to study.”“V City is also close to X City and it’s only an hour away by boat. And you can visit them every week.”“Let them take shelter for some time. After Evan and Tina get married. He will probably forget it and won’t disturb you.”Pausing for a while, Kester continued, “Ora still has not been exposed. You don’t need to worry about her. Just let her stay by your side!”Hearing that, I looked at him with some hesitation.X City and V City were separated only by sea. Although V City was small, it was the only city in the country where gambling was allowed. And the Helsen
Anya's POV:When Aura finally fell asleep, I sighed, turned off the light, and came out of my daughter’s room without making any noise.“Beep-beep.” Suddenly, my phone rang, frightening me.It was an unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Anya, where did you hide the children?”Evan’s angry voice comes from the other side of the line.I replied in a brusque tone, “What’s wrong with you? They are my children and have nothing to do with your family. Don’t disturb us anymore. I will sue you if you abduct the children again!”Evan swallowed and growled coldly, “Tell me, where are the children?”“I have sent them study abroad! Don’t waste your time.”Evan explained, “Anya, Grandma is getting old. She just wants to see the children!”“I’m sorry, but I’m under no obligation to meet your request.” I said firmly.I know that if children went to see Grace, they would be forced to stay here. Grace she shrewd woman. She would not release them easily.After a pause, Evan said, “Anya you have only o
Frank’s POV:After Mia finds out that all her trusted followers were fired by Anya, her blood boils from anger.“Damn! Anya has fired six of my cousins!”“She is so cruel!”She cursed Anya while crying and punched me from time to time.However, I didn’t say anything and just kept smoking.“Frank, see what your daughter did. If you don’t do anything to her, she is gonna be more rampant.”I drew my cigarette and sighed, “What can I do? That rebellious girl disrespects me. Will she be polite to your people?”“You are such a wimp. You are her father, and you cant even control your own daughter. I think you should hold a press conference and serve ties between father and daughter with her.”I slapped my thigh and said with a weary face, “Hey, let’s not bring something like this to the press! Isn’t it disgraceful enough? Beside, even if I’m not the chairman, our family still has lot of savings and so many side businesses. We can still live our lives!”Mia snapped back, “How is that same? Wa
Anya’s POV:Evan sneered and drawled, “Stop pointing fingers if you don’t have any proof. What did I do? What does have the plummeting of Walter Group shares have to do with me?”Infuriated, I took a sharp breath and clenched the phone.“What the hell to you want?” she asked.“What do I want? Isn’t it clear to you?”I roared into the phone, “I’m telling you that there is no way its going to happen. The child has already gone abroad and its unlikely to return soon! And for the record, the child has nothing to do with you and the Carter family! We are adults. Please don’t resort to this underhanded tactic.”Evan stuck my tongue out. “Here, Are you angry?”I was rather speechless by my response. “I will damned if I’m not.” I cursed angrily in my mind.A wicked grin broke onto Evan’s face as he spoke deliberately in a rascal tone, “I just love it when you are pissed off but can’t get to me.”Evan burst out in laughter after saying this.I rolled my eyes in annoyance. ‘I would have killed
Coral’s POV:Today Mr. Cater is behaving abnormally.He looked at his phone every two minutes, and every time he did, his face darkened even more.He even smokes a dozen cigarettes in a row.As if didn’t take it anymore, Mr. Cater took his phone and took the initiative to call Miss Walter.“Ring! Ring!”However, the phone still didn’t get connected and the mechanical voice came from the phone…“Hello, the person you are calling is currently unavailable…”“Damn!”Mr. Cater cursed and threw the phone on the ground with a bang.“This damn woman! How dare she does not answer my call!” He cursed.Seeing this, I frowned.Then, I picked up the phone, whipped out the SIM card, and replaced it with another phone.This is the fifth phone that Mr. Cater had broken this month.“No wonder people say that the rich can do whatever they want,” I thought inwardly.“Coral, notify the financial market to block Walter Group…”“Noted! By the way, I just got the news that Miss Walter is holding a press con
Evan’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!David called again.Anya and I both rushed to answer the call. I answered the call hastily.“Hello…”On the other end of the phone, David said gloomily, “Anya, come to Newcan Island alone! Don’t play any tricks, or your daughter will die a horrible death.”Anya’s voice sank, “Alright, don’t worry. I will go alone.”“If I find out that you and Evan were playing any tricks behind the scenes, I will chop your daughter into pieces and feed her to the dogs.”“David, don’t hurt, Flora. Don’t worry, I will go alone.”He sneered and hung up.After hanging up, my eyes darkened. “Anya, I won’t allow you to go. If somebody has to go, it would be me.”Anya’s expression was a little unfocused, “Evan this is the grudge between me and David. Let me settle it alone.”“No, I won’t let you go alone to meet your death. Kody keeps an eye on her. Don’t let her leave Sherane Bay Villa.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Without waiting for the bodyguard to come forward, Anya rushed to the co
Anya’s POV:After waiting for the entire night, the call didn’t come again.Evan and I had not slept the entire night. Our eyes are red from exhaustion from the whole night. We remain on the edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.Beep! Beep! Beep!In the morning, Evan’s phone rang againThe two of us reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you have not made up your mind yet.”I asked bluntly, “David, is that you?”The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.I took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it’s you. Please don’t hurt Flora. If you hate me, you can come at me. Flora is just a child. She is innocent. Please don’t hurt her. No matter what, you are her biological uncle.”When David heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”“David, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”
Anya’s POV:If Flora was kidnapped, with the Carter family's financial resources, no matter how much ransom was asked, we could afford it.But I was afraid that David had abducted Flora. The situation would be different if that’s the case.He hated me to the core. He might very well take revenge on me by hurting Flora.In the next hour, Evan and I looked like it was the end of the world.Every second seems to be like endless darkness.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finally, Evan’s phone rang.Evan held his breath and quickly picked up the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, a distorted voice from a voice changer said, “Hello, there Mr. Carter!”Evan’s POV:I gasped. This voice was very familiar to me.Just like the kidnapper who kidnapped Princess Martha before, it was the same kind of voice changer. “Who are you exactly?”“Do you have my daughter?”“That’s, smart!”“Please don’t hurt my daughter. How much do you want? I will give it to you.”“I don’t want money this time. I want people.
Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:I kept comforting Flora. It was not easy for me to coax my daughter.The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests.After the examination, I asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the result to be out?”“The other test result could be collected in an hour. The result of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.”I had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.”When it was almost noon, Evan called and asked, “How was it?”“There is nothing wrong with these tests. We will have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test result.”“Oh, then I am relieved.”We left the Children’s Hospital.I call Fantine again.“Hello, Miss Anya?”“Is Dad in the hospital?”“Oh, Mr. Walter is here.”I paused for a moment. “I will go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”“Okay.”After the call, I prepared to go to the hospital to see Dad.“Flora, follow Aunt Lilian home first. Mommy will go to and see Grandpa.”When Fl
Evan’s POV:I rubbed Jerry’s head and smiled reluctantly. My youngest son was clever and knew how to flatter me. He was completely different from Jason’s personality.After a twenty-minute drive, we arrived home.“Flora, Daddy, and Mommy are back.”‘Daddy, Mommy. Cough, Cough…” Flora was watching cartoons.Her eyes lit up when she saw us return. And she greeted me as a lie like she did every day. However, she looked sluggish.Anya handed a gift to Flora. “This is a gift for you, Flora!”“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy,” Flora got a limited edition doll and squeezed out a smile.“Baby, are you feeling unwell?”“Yeah, I am a little unwell!” She said. She couldn’t help but cough twice again. Her big eyes revealed her trace of fatigue.Anya’s POV:Seeing this I quickly reached out and touched my daughter’s forehead.The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever.However, Flora had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak.“Mommy will take
Anya’s POV:The next day, I got up early in the morning.After washing up, Evan was still asleep. I could only shake him awake. “Wake up. It's time to get up.”He yawned, “So early? What’s the hurry?”“It’s getting late. It’s already 7 o’clock. Hurry up and get up. We still have to rush to the airport.”“Sigh. I have to hand it to you.” Eva reluctantly got off the bed and was dragged to the bathroom by me, who urged him to wash up.After everyone was done, it was already 8:30 in the morning.The driver drove us to the airport.Unexpectedly halfway there, we met a few foreigners in a local police uniform.A tall, burly white man raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He said in a local language. “Get out of the car quickly. There will be a routine inspection. We suspect you have dangerous items in your car.”“All of you get out of your car and take out your passports…”Evan replied in English, “We need to call our lawyer!”“Shut up and get out of the car.”A few police officers
After hanging up, Anya looked melancholic. “Look, the children are urging us to go back.”“I rarely travel. Let’s shop for a few more days.” I know the best way to treat depression is to relax and heal naturally.“Three days at most.”“There is no need to rush.”“Let’s go. Come with me for dinner.”Anya was helpless. She changed her clothes and went to the street with me.At the entrance of the street.Anya was buying coffee when Coral walked up anxiously and whispered, “Mr. Carter…”I was stunned, “What’s wrong?”“Princess Martha wants to see you.”I frowned.I had not contacted Princess Martha for three or four months. I felt it was over between us.“How did she know I was here?”“Princess Martha happened to be in Menola too. When she saw my Facebook post, she guessed you were also in Menola.”When I heard this, my face was darkened. “Who asked you to post on Facebook?”“Sorry, Mr. Carter…”As he spoke, Princess Martha appeared out of nowhere. “Evan, long time no see!”I turned roun
Anya’s POV:The temperature of the water in the water was very soothing. After soaking for a while, the day’s fatigue dissipated. Perhaps because I was too tired that night, I quickly fell asleep.“Baby, wake up…” Evan called me softly to wake up.I stretched lazily and said, “Oh, I want to sleep a little longer.”Evan smiled gently and pinched my nose. “What a lazy bones. Then sleep a little longer. I will go out for a bit.”“Okay!” I turned around and fell asleep again.Evan was back on time and I was already dressed up.Evan had gone out to discuss business for the past few days and didn’t bring me along. I didn’t even know who he had met.“Do you still have business to handle this afternoon?”He loosened his tie, removed his suit, and took a casual sweater from the wardrobe. “No need. We are done discussing!”
