Anya’s POV:I coughed violently and was completely drained. After being in the ocean for so long, I had also choked up on quite a lot of seawater.Even though I could float well, I certainly felt quite helpless as I had to drag such a well-built man with me.The two of us were wobbling in the water, only about ten meters away from the shore.If I were to swim back to the shore alone, I would probably do it in less than a minute.However, since I was dragging Evan with me, I struggled in the water for over ten minutes before finally reaching the shore.I continued to cough as I staggered up the steps on the shore and felt so exhausted that I was on the brink of collapse.I could not move Evan at all, much less bring him to the shore.In the end, I only dragged him a little so that the upper half of his body was lying on the steps, making sure that he wouldn’t drown or suffocate.“Evan woke up….” I called out while still coughing.Evan was half-conscious, but he didn’t seem able to open
Evan’s POV:“That woman sure is long-winded and annoying!” Grandma said.To be honest, Grandma had nothing but disdain for a woman like Mia.When Karl was alive, she had been kind and tolerant to the Walter family, all for the sake of Karl.However, now that Karl was dead, the Carter family had no relation with Frank and his wife anymore.Grandma was merely maintaining a good relationship with them for the sake of Karl.However, Grandma Mia simply had no tact.“How is Anya?” I asked.“Anya?” Grandma was stunned.I frowned. My lips quivered as I muttered, “She was in the accident with me.”“But I didn’t see her!”Hearing that, I struggled to sit up and get out of bed.Seeing this, Grandma quickly stopped me. “You have to lie down. You are still on the IV drip! You have been hurt so badly. Where do you think you are going?”“I’m going to see her.”“Don’t move. Let’s just call the nurse over and ask about her!” With that Grandma presses the peeper.A minute later, a nurse hurried in.“Mr
Tina’s POV:That year, Grace had brought Evan to the Walter family residence for a visit.When it was around lunchtime, Evan was swimming in the pool.He suddenly got a cramp in his foot and drowned.Although the Walter family had servants, unlike the Cater family, we didn’t have that many housekeepers and bodyguards.Hence, when Evan was drowning, Anya was the first person to spot him.As the situation was so critical, Anya dove in to save him before she could call for help.After rescuing him out of the pool, Anya ran off to call for help, and I rushed over to Evan’s side to take care of him.After he woke up, he asked me, “Did you save me?”I knew he had misunderstood the situation but nodded anyway.It was also from that day onward that his attitude toward me had completely changed.Despite being five years older than me, he refused to date anyone else, because he had been waiting for me to grow up.“After all these years… why is he suddenly asking such a question? Could it be tha
Evan’s POV:Hearing her groans, I quickly let her go.“Anya…”I wanted to say that I was sorry, but those words just couldn’t come out of my mouth.I simply couldn’t bring myself to say that I was sorry.After all, it was not my nature to be subservient to women.It had always been the women who surrounded me, racking their brains how to please me.All I had to do was give them the slightest signal and a whole bunch of women would swoop toward me.So for me, lowering my head humbly in front of a woman was akin to taking my life.Anya’s POV:Evan had a thick wide bandage on his head, and half of his face was swollen. Besides, he was also clad in a hospital gown.Truthfully, he looked a little creepy.I looked at him coldly and said, “It’s past three o’clock in the morning. What the hell are you doing here?”“I have just come to see you!”“You must be crazy! If you don’t leave soon, I will call the cops!”“Then go ahead and call the cops!”I was furious. I swallowed and frowned, asking,
Bodyguard’s POV:The next morning, we all were in a frenzy.“Mr. Carter is missing.”“Call Mr. Carter immediately and ask where is he.”“He didn’t bring his phone. According to the GPS in his car, he should be in the area, but there is no sign of him.”“What are you guys even hired for? How could you not follow him?”“You very well about Mr. Carter’s temper. If he doesn’t allow anyone to follow him, who would dare to do so?”“So, what should we do now? Where could Mr. Carter has gone? How would we answer when old Mrs. Carter asked about him later?”“Oh my God. Evan Carter hasn’t been kidnapped, has he?”“What else can we do? Go and find him before its too late.”We all were panicking. After all, it’s our job to protect Mr Carter. 24 hours a day.Now that he was missing, there was no way we wouldn’t be afraid.The previous night, Mr. Cater wouldn’t let any of us follow him. We didn’t dare to disobey him, nor did we dare to let him out of our sight.Thus, what all of us could do was to
Anya’s POV:Emily opened the door, and Kester walked in, carrying several packages in his hands.“Anya, I have brought you some breakfast and some daily necessities…”Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes fell on Evan, and he paused.“What is he doing here?”“Kester don’t get me wrong! I don’t know what was wrong with him last night. He came all the way here.”Hearing that, Evan tightened his grip on my hand and looked at Kester tauntingly.“Anya and I are married. We don’t need someone else to tell us what to do.” he said.I struggled a little. “Evan, we are divorced already!”“We can still marry, can’t we?”“You are nuts. Let go of me!”Kester asked, frowning, “Anya, what is he doing here?”From the looks of his face, I knew he had figured out that Evan had spent the night here.Evan sneered, “Why can’t I be here?”“Kester, I will explain it to you later! Evan, you have to go! If you don’t, I will call the police!”Evan gulped and looked grimly at me. “Anya, I am going to as
Coral POV:When Old Mrs. Cater arrived at the hospital in the morning and found that Mr. Cater was missing, anxiousness pulsed through her veins, causing her to almost lose consciousness.“Where is Evan? Haven’t you found him yet?”“Last night, Mr. Carter insisted on driving out here. He wouldn’t allow anyone to follow him!”“You bunch of losers. If something happened to Evan, I will bury all you with him.”Old Mrs. Cater had a fit.Being in my 70s, she had a weak heart.Once she got mad, her heart would ache and her brain would be deprived of oxygen.Seeing this, her assistant swiftly whipped out an oxygen tank and put the mask on my face.After inhaling a few mouthfuls of oxygen she calmed down a little.“Hurry up and find him. We have to find him.”I quickly assured her, “Yes, yes. We are already looking. Kenny headed out with some people to look for Mr. Carter last night. I will call him now to ask him if he has found Mr. Carter.”Just then, Tina also hurried to the hospital. “Whe
Evan’s POV:Instinctively, Tina took two steps backward. Then, she stepped forward again and gripped my arm.“Evan, even… Even if Anya was the one who saved you ten years ago, are you going to throw away the relationship we have had for years?”I looked at her sternly and replied dryly, “Our relationship has been mistake since the beginning.”“No, it’s not! You can’t say goodbye to me for such a trivial thing! I won’t accept this. I won’t.”She got worked up as she swung my arm desperately.“You do love me, Evan! We are so in love. How can we break up so easily? I waited for you for six years, and now, you want to part with me?”Treas streamed down her face and her slim body was quivering nonstop.I felt a little bad as I knew I hurt her badly.“I will make it a for you with monetary compensation. Give me an amount.”I will agree to it as long as it is not too outrageous.Although we had dated for six years, I never once touched her.At least I didn’t harm her to take advantage of her
She looked at me in frustration, “Zachary, can’t you think of the way for me? Can you bear to see me being unrequited like this? I don’t understand how I am inferior to that Anya?”“Who said you are inferior? You are the best.”“Then why doesn’t Evan like me?”I smiled awkwardly, “How would I know? Every man looks at women differently. If I was Evan, I would certainly choose you. I certainly won’t like Anya.”Jenny’s anger intensified upon hearing this. “Evan is completely blind. The Walter Group sisters have cast some shots of spells on him, especially Anya. I can’t for the life of me make out what he sees in her.”“I can’t help you with this .”She pouted and said coquettishly, “Zachary, can’t you help me think of a way to let them tear apart? If you don’t help me, I will tell Dad that you want to date that lu
Tina’s POV:Around ten in the morning, my phone rang.I picked up the phone and answered lazily, “Hello.”“Hello, Mr. Garcia, I am Tina.”I was sleeping with a girl in my arms.When I heard Tina's voice, I instantly lost my steepness and pushed the girl in my arms away. “Oh, Miss Walter, have you made up your mind?”“I have thought about it. I am willing to be your secretary, but I have two conditions.”“Tell me.”She pounded for a few seconds and deliberately pretentiously, “First, I won’t work after eight in the night.”When I heard this, I agreed without hesitation, “Okay!”“Secondly, I won’t accompany you to socialize with clients. I am only responsible for your daily work.”I smiled. “Hehe, what else?”“That’s all. If you agree, I will work for your company. I
Tina’s POV:My face turned red.Hearing his teasing, I felt even more upset.In the past, I was a socialite that everyone envied. But now I was nothing.“I can’t drink.”“Socializing is important for this position. If you don’t know how to drink, how can you be qualified for this job?”“Since that was the case, I had better get going.” After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave.I didn’t want to do this job in the first place. I came over just because of Evan.I was glad that Zachary found me unqualified.“Tina, please wait.”“Mr. Garcia, is there anything else?”“PR representative manager is not suitable for you, but there is one more suitable job for you.” He smiled at me.“Really?”“Are you interested in being my secretary?”I was stunned. I looked up at
Tina’s POV:As Evan and Anya headed to M city, I saw an opportunity to take action. I believe it was a perfect moment to make my move.I have lived here before and was very familiar with it.“There must be many secrets in Evan’s study,” I thought.I looked around. There was no one around the study. I also knew the password to Evan’s study.I entered the password, opened the door of Evan’s study, and walked in.The study was impeccably organized with three computers neatly arranged on the desk along with an assortment of documents and a projector.I went straight to his desk!Evan has been busy with the Park and Sea project recently.The project in question was at Green Bay, M city, where a local municipality had proposed the construction of a large amusement park.The land nearby had also become a hot topic for real estate tenders!Evan was also a contender in the bidding
Evan’s POV:I was still immersed in the wedding utmost repair. I fantasized about holding a wedding with Anya. I would make sure it would be particularly grand and unforgettable.“Are you touched to see them getting married?”Anya’s eyes darkened, and she replied coldly, “No!”“Really?” I turned to look at Anya.Her side profile was beautiful. Under the sunlight, her skin was so fair that it was almost transparent.However, there was an unconcealable sadness in her expression.I blinked and guessed that she might be thinking about Kester again.“Did you think something unhappy?”Anya didn’t answer. The melancholy on her face deepened.My jealousy flared up upon seeing this, and my expression easily turned gloomy.I had loved her so much that I had made a big concession for her. But she was still thinking about another man. That hurt my pride
Anya’s POV:I couldn’t stand out anymore, “Evan, don’t act like this.”“Like what?”“Don’t be so mean. You are embarrassing her.”“Being nice to her is unnecessary.”“Forget what I said. I am going to M city tomorrow.”“Okay, I will go with you!”“You are going with me?” I was shocked.“What’s wrong? Can’t I?”“No, but what’s the point? I am going to attend Rose’s wedding.”Before I could finish, Evan’s face darkened. “I know. So what? Can’t I go there with you?”“Alright, alright. You can go if you want to.”‘However, no one would welcome you!’ I thought inwardly.*****A few luxury cars row over one after another and stop at the villa area in Green Town. Twenty or Thirty bodyguards go
Anya’s POV:I was indeed very hardworking and did a good job.If Evan had not undermined my efforts and constantly hindered my progress, the Walter Group could have thrived under my leadership.Unfortunately, this despicable Evan had brought me down from my position as a strong and influential female leader. I was a little annoyed and kept shaking the graphite in my hand.Tina looked at me cautiously and asked, “Anya, what are you doing now?”“Oh, I am making some flour with graphite.”She was puzzled, “Flour? Why bother to do that? Wouldn’t it be easy to just buy some?”“Handmade flour tastes better. Evan had a bad stomach.”Tina’s POV:“You are so nice to him.” I braced myself to praise her, but my heart was filled with hatred.This could have been my thing to do. Evan should have belonged to me.However, all of this was snatched away by Anya.I hid the disappointment and hatred in my face and forced a smile. “Anya, let me help you!”“You don’t have to.”“I will help you. You fill t
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I subconsciously frowned.It was not easy to find a job in this field.Although Tina graduated from a prestigious University, she had no working experience, which financial management required.Moreover, she would have to start from the basics. The higher-ups were all elites who had working for a long time.“Anya, is it hard to find such a job? I can start from basics.” Tina said as she looked at me.I knew the purpose of her words was equal to telling me that she wanted to work in the Carter Group. She hoped that I would persuade Evan, as she knew once I bought it up, Evan would not say no.“I will see if I can help you.” I looked at her thoughtfully.When Tina heard this, she was easily delighted. “Thank you, Anya.”“You are welcome. Have some juice.”“Okay,” Tina picked up the juice and took a sip.Jason watched coldly from the dining table. She didn’t like Tina at all.After drinking the fruit juice, she took the initiative to help the servant clean
Anya’s POV:I was speechless. I was so angry that I had nothing else to say.“What? Are you angry?”“How could I not be angry?” I thought.“How about this? If you behave well and make me happy, I might agree to let you go.”“I am sorry, I won’t.”‘Then it’s not negotiable!”“Fine, I won't go.”I lay on the bed angrily, too lazy to take a shower.“Are you really angry?”“Evan you are boring. Can you stop annoying me?”“Hey, why don’t you call me something nice? That should be okay.”I rolled my eyes. “What do you want to hear?”“What do you think is nice?”I rolled my eyes resentfully. I know he just wanted to hear me call him Hubby.Although I hated to do so, I still called out, “Hubby! Is that enough?”When Evan heard this, he snickered in my heart.However, he still maintains an indifferent look.“Who asked you to call this?”“So what do you want to hear?”“Well, call me Daddy!”I instantly widened her eyes and looked at me as if I was looking at a monster.This bastard took advanta
