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
Anya’s POV:“Miss Walter you are so beautiful! Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?”I smiled gracefully towards the camera and said, “Nice joke! I’m more than content if Walter Group could flourish.”“Excuse me, when you and Mr Helsen getting married?”“That’s personal. I can’t answer it right now!”I had been non-committal about my affair with Kester over the years.After all, I still needed Kester as my patron at the moment.Of course, the partnership was a two-way street.With my title as Mr. Carter’s ex-wife, I would automatically be dragged into the limelight. That way I could bring more attention to his films and television company.“Mr. Helsen, when are you going to propose to Miss Walter?”Hearing that, Kester smiled, looked at me lovingly, and said, in a half-earnest and half-in-jest manner, “That depends on when she is okay with that! If she wants to marry me now, I can propose immediately!”“Wow! That’s sweet!”“Propose now!”The reporters cheered.I s
Tina’s POV:Anya looked even more stunning than a celebrity on TV.It didn’t look like she was holding a press conference. This was like a demonstration.Seeing that I felt upset and more anxious than ever.Ever since Anya came back, Evan had been treating me coldly.“Mom, look at Anya’s smug face! Do something! Don’t let her get so cocky!”My mother swallowed heavily, snorted, and said, “Relax. Let her think that she had had her way first. Her plummet awaits her in a couple of days. By the way, have you been in touch with Mr. Carter in the past two days?”Hearing that, my eyes darkened.It’s been two days, however, not only didn’t call me he also didn’t answer my calls.Thinking that I sighed exasperatedly.“Why the frustration? You should strike while the iron is hot. In case of any undesirable complication, the matter between you and Mr. Carter should not be put off any longer. If we keep stalling, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”Resignedly, I retorted with gritted teeth, “Wh
Mia’s POV:I took a seat on the European leather couch.Across from me was a rosewood desk that spanned several meters long.Evan perched back in his desk chair. Behind him was a glass bookcase that extended to the whole wall.As I looked at Evan, I couldn’t help but sigh.Evan is very handsome.It was like his angular features were craved by God.Not only did he have a stunning countenance, but his physique was also comparable to the international male models.He was oozing hormones all over.If I were 20 years younger, I would have pursued this handsome man.Evan’s POV:When Mia smiled, her cheeks puffed out on her face, which was pumped with hyaluronic acid.Her plump lips were crimson red like blood.I looked uncomfortably at Mia as I felt devastated.I almost wanted to throw up at the pungent smell of her perfume.My face turned grim as I said, “Mrs Walter, is there anything I can help with you.”“Oh, its nothing! I just come to see you.”Mia said with a flirty smile while lookin
My phone suddenly rang.When I saw that it was Evan on the phone, I immediately picked it up.I squelched my throat and said, “Hello!”“Hello, Tina!”“Yes, Evan!”Evan paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice, “Are you free tonight?”Hearing that, my heart raced with delight. Evan hadn’t asked me out for a long time.“Yes, I am free!”“Let’s have a dinner tonight!”“Great! About what time?”“I will pick you up at eight o’clock! We are going to The Tables Delights. Remember to dress up.”“Sure. I will see you tonight!”“See you tonight!”After hanging up the phone, I jumped in joy.At that moment, my mother happened to come back. Seeing me jumping like this, she sneered and asked, “Why are you so happy?”“Mom, Evan just called me and asked me to dinner at ‘The Table Delights’ tonight! Mom, come and help me pick up the right dress!”“Well, it’s all thanks to me! I can only help you so far. The rest is up to you,” she hummed.I was a little shocked. “Mom, did you visit Evan?”“So wh
Anya’s POV:After Evan and the children left, I came down from the upstairs and prepared to go to the hospital.Coincidentally, Tina came over again.“Sister, I am going to work too.”“Yes. Are you used to working with the Garcia Group?” I asked with concern.“It’s quite good. Anya, I don’t worry.”“That’s good. If there is anything you don’t like, let me know.”“I got it.”After packing up, I also drove to the hospital to accompany my daughter.Tina’s POV:I had already been working for a week. I had not much done during this week.It was mainly to help Zachary make coffee and send documents.“Mr. Garcia, here is your coffee.” I had made a coffee as usual and bought it for Zachary.“Leave it.”I was about to place the cup on the table when Zachary raised his hand.Immediately, a cup of hot coffee was spilled, and the hot coffee was splashed on Zachary.I was terrified and quickly apologized, “Mr. Garcia, I am sorry.”He smiled ambiguously, “It’s okay, did you get scalded?”“Nope.”“L
Evan’s POV:After Jerry left, I could not help but smile.I could not help but tease. “Heh, women don’t mean what they say. She regrets being mean to me now.”I stirred the spaghetti. I Swift with my fork and smelled it. It was still a familiar smell.It had been a few days since I last ate spaghetti made by Anya. I missed it.Then, I couldn’t wait to take a big bite.As soon as I ate, I frowned slightly. I felt the taste was a little different from before. It was obvious that the sauce was thicker and there seemed to be too much salt.However, on second thought, it was normal.It was possible that Anya was still angry and deliberately added another spoonful of salt.“Hehe, woman!” I thought.I shook my head and smiled awkwardly. I guess that Anya could not wait to reconcile.“Hmph, since you have lowered your head, I have to put on air. I will let you know that I am not that easy man to coax. Let’s see if you still dare to mess with me in the future.”I thought it was Anya's cook. So
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.
