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
Mia’s POV:Seeing his tacit agreement, my heart jolted.When Tina came home last night, she had asked what she should do as it seemed like Evan was going to break with her.At that time I thought she was joking.But, now it seemed that Evan really did ask to break up.“What the hell is going on? Did you break up with Tina?”Evan let out a sigh of relief and made no reply.In an instant, I knew I had guessed correctly. Then, I immediately start creating a scene, crying out, “How can you do such a horrible thing to Tina? If anything happens to her, I’m going to hang myself at the doorsteps of Carter Corporation. You are so heartless. You have dated Tina for six years and wasted six years of her youth. And now you are leaving her like this. You are so merciless. I’m not going to live anymore!”Hearing that, Frank sighed deeply. With a sad face, he tried to pursue me, saying, “We’re at the hospital. Don’t make a scene. Let’s wait till Tina’s operation is over first.”“I don’t care! If any
