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
Anya’s POV:I could overlook it when others did not believe me or reprimanded me.However, seeing that my father didn’t believe me, still made my heart ache.Since young, I always worked hard and tried my best to excel in everything, so that I could get my father's approval.However, no matter how hard I tried, my father had always been cold and indifferent to me. He never praised me, nor did he even give me fatherly love.Now, I had finally accepted the fact.I no longer wanted to please him any more expect anyone to nourish me with love.“Dad, I’m not hooking up with Evan Carter. I had no idea they had split up.”I was pissed off.Evan had made my life difficult for the past two days.I also broke my arm because of him.However, instead of criticizing him, everyone was blaming me.Mia scoffed and lashed out. “Humph! You didn’t know. Why would you be here if you don’t know? If you don’t seduce Mr. Carter, why would he go to see you in the middle of the night? If it were not for you,
Evan’s POV:“Tina! You must wake up! What I’m supposed to do if you don’t wake up.” Mia said, crying out loudly.Frank raised his eyebrows and patted me on the shoulder. “Evan, you have been with Tina for six years now. You have a complicated relationship with both of my daughters. So, you should think about how to resolve it. You have hurt Tina before, and she can’t take being hurt again.”I frowned.Mia whimpered. “Evan, you must be responsible for Tina. She is a nice and innocent girl. She is different from other women. She already has a relationship with you. You can’t hurt like that.”Hearing that I draw in a breath. I wanted to say that I didn’t do it with Tina, but I swallowed it back.It was pointless to talk about it anymore.After all, we had been dating for six years. Nobody else would believe me if I said I hadn’t had sexual intercourse with her.But the truth is, I had never touched her.When I was in need, I spent money on other women.When we were done, I paid them and
Anya’s POV:“Have you completed the discharge procedure?” I asked.Kester frowned and said in a concern. “I haven’t done it yet. You are hurt so badly. I still think you should stay in the hospital for a few more days.”Hearing that, I persisted in getting out of bed. “No! I can’t stay in the hospital. Ora will be scared if she doesn’t see me!”“All right, then. I will fill out the paperwork for your discharge.” Kester said helplessly.“Okay!”After half an hour later, Kester completed the discharge procedure.Till then, I also changed my clothes. Since I have a splint on my arm, it was a little inconvenient for me to do.After Kester returned with my medicines and sundries, we were ready to leave.As we opened the ward door, my father suddenly appeared at the entrance.I was surprised to see him, “Dad…”“Anya, what are you doing?”Perhaps because I didn’t get enough fatherly love as a child, his simple greeting warmed my heart.Thinking that he came to see me, I said, “Dad, I’m alrig
Anya’s POV:After returning home, I saw that the house had already been tied up. And I know that Kester must have sent someone to do so.“Anya, I think you should move! I still have a mention in Black Hollow Bay. “It’s vacant, so you can just move in!”“No thanks! I’ve troubled you enough already. I should not disturb you anymore!”“How would that be troubling me? The house is empty anyway. Its perfect for you!”“No! It’s too far for me and my workplace!”Kester sighed and stopped insisting. Eventually, he gave in and said, “Okay. Just let me know if you need anything.”“Thank you, Kester!”“There you go again! How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t have to thank me!”Hearing that, my feelings become even more complicated. ‘Kester treated me so well. I just wish I know how to repay him.’ I thought inwardly.As soon as opened the door, Emily ran towards me with red eyes. “Miss Walter, you are back!”“Where is Ora!”“Ora has a fever! I was just about to call you!”When I he
Mia’s POV:As I exited the ward, I broke out in a wide smile.“Oh, thank goodness. Mr. Carter is finally marrying Tina!”“As soon as they got married, I will make sure I rub it in Mrs. White, Mrs. Patel, and others faces!”Frank frowned and said, “Look at you! Tina almost died. How could you still be in the mood to show off?”“Well, the process was frightening, but we get a happy ending. I didn’t expect her to have some of my old tricks up her sleeve. She sure pulled a cruel trick!”Just then, Harry and David also rushed to the hospital.“Mom, Dad how is Tina?”The duo prepared to push the door and enter the ward as they spoke, however, I quickly stopped them.“Don’t go in there. Tina is inside having a talk with Mr. Carter. Don’t go in and disturb them!”“Oh!”“I have a great news for you. Tina is finally getting married!”Harry looked surprised. “Really?” he asked.“Of course!”He slapped his thigh in excitement and exclaimed, “That’s great!”“Mom, Dad, I want a sports car!”Hearing
Paul’s POV:As I ran to the nurse’s station, I asked anxiously, “Which word is in Miss Tina Walter?”I was worried sick when I heard what happened to Tina.So, disregarding the danger of being discovered, I rushed to the hospital just to visit her.“Oh, I’m a friend of Miss Walter. I come special to visit her because I heard she had an accident.”“Miss Walter is in ward number 7.”“Alright, thank you!”With that, I went to a mad dash for ward number 7.However, when I got to the ward, I saw Mia and her husband there, so I dared not to intrude.So, I just wait outside. About more than an hour later, Mia and Frank finally left the ward.Mia had gone to the restroom, while Frank had gone to get food for Tina and Mia.I took advantage of this moment and spread into the ward.“Tina!”I had missed Tina to the core.Some time ago, she told me that she was getting married and would like to end our relationship.That night, I was mad as hell to take Tina into my arms, objecting to her wishes.
Evan’s POV:I also heard the news as well.When I heard that someone had fired a shot at the wedding, I was also terribly shocked.“Someone fired a shot at a wedding. Is Anya okay?”Coral reported, “I heard that Kester Helsen took a bullet for Miss Walter. Miss Walter is fine now. Kester Helsen is seriously injured and still in the hospital undergoing treatment. It was said that the bullet was 2 millimeters away from piercing his heart. He is not out of danger yet. Even if he wakes up, he will probably remain in a vegetative state in the future.”Hearing that I couldn’t help her gasped.Initially, I thought that no one could love Anya more than me. Now it seems that Kester loves Anya more than me.If I were in Kester’s shoes, I probably wouldn’t have instinctively taken a bullet for Anya in such an urgent situation.“Then, how is Anya now? Is she very sad?”&ldq
Anya’s POV:“Kester! Kester!” My eyes instantly widened as I threw myself into his arms and shook his body.“Kester, wake up! You must pull through!”The ambulance whizzed through the traffic without stopping for a moment.Less than ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.“Someone has been shot! Doctors, save him quickly!”The bodyguard carried Kester who was covered in blood and rushed into the hospital.When the doctor and nurses saw this, they were also badly shaken! After all in society, it was rare for people to be shot by a gun.Soon, Kester was sent to the emergency room.I followed him all the way. The white gown I wore was already covered in blood. I sank on the bench outside the emergency room, as if all my muscles and bones had been extracted.I was about to have a relapse. The depression that had troubled me for many years made me extremely di
Anya’s POV:I was also shocked, I was flabbergasted as I looked at Ellen.For the past few days, Kester had appeared uneasy and troubled. I had already guessed that something thorny must have happened.I had assumed that it was related to Evan all this while. I didn’t expect it to be connected to Ellen.Ellen walked up to me, “Miss Walter, I am now pregnant with Kester’s child. I don’t object to your marriage, but Mr. Helsen must give me and the child an answer.”I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t recover from my shock for a long time.“Anya, let me explain.” Kester instantly tried to explain.How was the truth right in front of my eyes? Any explanation would appear weak.“Oh, my goodness! Isn’t this the superstar Ellen?”“That’s right! I heard that Kester Helsen single-handedly groomed her until she became famous. So, she was also his secret lover.”“Gosh! There is going to be a good show to watch. Now, this is even more exciting than filming a movie.”“Tsk! Tsk! I didn’t come to today's w
Anya’s POV:On Kester’s side, many guests were attending the wedding, and there was also a special emcee to be a host for the wedding.The next day, I woke up early in the morning.The makeup artist and stylist began to work on my makeover. Rose, Daisy, and others had also changed into bridesmaids' dresses.As there were no elders present, Miranda stood in the elders on the bride's side.At eight o’clock in the morning, more than ten bridal cars set off in a majestic convey from the hotel.There was a joyous commotion outside the hotel. Kester bought more than ten groomsmen, and they headed for the hotel room together.“We are here for the bride.”“Mr. Helsen, we have to break the door down!” The groomsmen were causing a ruckus.The emcee directed the groomsmen as they livened up the atmosphere.There were not many bride-maids on my side. So, the bridegroom was not given a hard time. The room door was opened quickly.“Anya I love you.” Kester handed a bouquet to me.I smiled and took
Evan’s POV:Jenny was not my type at all, to begin with. In addition, I was feeling exasperated and didn’t want to say anything superfluous.When she saw my impatient look, she took a deep breath. “Evan, I know you are annoyed. But Miss Walter is already engaged. Why can't you let it go?”My eyes flickered. “Who said I can’t let it go?”“Evan, just let bygones be bygones! The weather is very good today. Why don’t we go out for a cruise in the sea?”“I am not in the mood!”“Evan…” Jennie tried to flirt coquettishly.Unfortunately, her actions made me even more disgusted. I have to work now. Please leave!”“Evan, I… I like you a lot. Can’t you just give me a chance?” She said.Jenny’s POV:I couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore and reached out to hug his arm.I had always been confident in my charm.However, I simply couldn’t conquer Evan.Nevertheless, I have always liked challenges with a high level of difficulty. The more unattainable a man was, the more I wanted him to kn
Evan’s POV:In the office, I sat on the leather chair. My face was terrifyingly ominous, but at the same time, it was ashen white.I had just undergone surgery yesterday. Although it was not a particularly major surgery, the scalpel was still used. It was very damaging to my overall well-being.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just then my phone rang. It was from Flora.“Hello, Baby!”On the video call interface, Flora leaned close to the screen. Her big eyes filled with worry, “Daddy, where are you now?”“What’s wrong baby?” My expression softened and revealed a trace of warmth.No matter how awful my mood was, as soon as I saw my daughter’s adorable face, all the awfulness instantly diminished considerably.“Daddy, did you not listen to the doctor? Did you secretly leave the hospital?” Flora looked with her big eyes. Her tiny face revealed a sensible manner that was incongruous with her young age.My eyes darted around. I didn’t want my daughter to worry and feel disappointed. “Er… No.”“Dad is ly
Anya’s POV:Around the evening, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!I looked at it and saw that it was called from Evan.“Kester, I have to take this call.”“Go ahead.”“Hello?” I walked to the bathroom and answered the call.Evan’s sullen voice comes out of the other end of the line. “Anya, where are you now?”I frowned and asked in a low voice. “What's the matter? Is there something urgent?”Evan said, “I want to see you.”“I am not free now. Let’s do it another day.”“No! Come at once. If you don’t, I will make you regret it.”Other than threatening me, Evan had no better way to get me to come to see him.“Evan, can you stop acting like this? If you continue to act like this, we can’t even remain friends anymore.”With that, I ended up the call.I couldn’t tolerate his foul habit of coercing me every time.I had already decided to marry Kester. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, I was duty-bound not to turn back.Evan’s POV:“Clatter!”After Anya ended the phone call, I slamm
Kester’s POV:I might be a playboy, but I was not a ruthless, cold-hearted man.Although I had no love for Ellen, I had been with her for so long after all. I couldn’t possibly give her a single cent.“I will give you ten million as a compensation. Go and abort the child immediately.”She was stunned and cried even harder, “Mr. Helsen, I don’t want money. Can you let me give birth to the child? I swear, I won’t disturb your marriage.”“Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital now and get rid of the child. Ellen, you’re still very young. Then there are still many opportunities to meet better men. Don’t let a child ruin your whole life.” I rejected Ellen’s request firmly.“Alright, since you don’t want this child, I will abort it. Transfer the money!”I frowned deeply. “No, I want to go to the hospital with you.”“What if I abort the child and you don’t give me the money?”“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry. The moment you get on the gynecological chair, I will transfer the
Kester’s POV:I had to settle the matter with Ellen as soon as possible. It had not been easy for me and Anya to get to where we are today. I couldn’t afford to let anything go wrong again.The next day, Ellen arrived at my home early in the morning.In the past, she often comes here to spend the night. So, she was very familiar with this place.I had just woken up when the servant, Zena, came in to report to me. “Mr. Helsen, Miss Ellen is here.”Hearing that I couldn’t help but frown. I had told her yesterday I would meet up with her, but I didn’t ask her to come to my house.To my dismay, she comes to my house.“Take her to the living room.”“Sure.”I hurriedly put on my clothes and went downstairs.In the living room, Ellen was still dressed provocatively and looked alluring as usual.She was wearing a spaghetti-strap dress and high heels. She h
