Anya’s POV:Even though Kester was very gentle. I couldn’t get into the mood and subconsciously resisted.When he sensed that I was not right, he quickly stopped, “What’s wrong, Anya?”“Kester, I… I…” I held my breath and looked at him somewhat nervously.“Are you still not willing to get intimate with me? We were about to get married.” A hint of disappointment appeared on Kester’s handsome face.I took a deep breath and felt inexplicably flustered. “Kester, can we do this after we get married?”Kester paused. He was still a little aggrieved. “Anya, are you still worried about me? Or… are you not ready yet?”I panicked even more, and my cheeks turned red, “I…”I didn’t know how to explain.Since I had already agreed to marry Kester, I should not reject his intimacy.However, I felt an inexplicable panic in my heart. My mind kept recalling Evan’s warning to me.If I had sex with Kester before marriage, with Evan’s temperament, who knows what kind of crazy things he was capable of?Beep
Anya’s POV:Evan already suffered from serious gastric ulcers. Some time ago, he drank until his stomach bled today. He drank more than 40 ounces of whiskey and started vomiting blood again.“Anya, why don’t you quickly call for emergency medical help!?” Marinda was terrified.When I saw this, my heart ached and I felt panicky too. I then hurriedly called Coral.“Hello, Coral!”“Good evening, Miss Walter!”“Evan is at my place. Please come and fetch him quickly!”“Huh?” Coral felt a headache coming on. “Miss Walter, I will rush over now. Please take care of Mr. Carter for the time being.”“Mm-hmm! Hurry up, I will send you the location now.”“Mm-hmm! Okay!”As I looked at the drunk Evan, I shook my head and sighed. Quickly, help him up first!”Evan was in a daze. He shoved everyone away and protested in a drunken stupor. “I am not leaving. I leave me alone. I don’t want to leave!”Miranda looked scared and said worriedly, “Anya quickly sent Mr. Carter to the hospital. He drank so much
Anya’s POV:Half an hour later, the door of the emergency room opened, and the attending doctor emerged.“Doctor, how is he?”The doctor had a grave look and said with a frown, “Mr. Carter has a gastric haemorrhage and his gastric ulcer is very serious. Under such a circumstances, he should not be drinking hard liquor. If he didn’t take care, his stomach will become perforated!”“Then, how is he now?”“I have already performed some emergency procedure on him. He will need to stay in the hospital for a few days. During this period, he will need to recuperate properly. He must not eat anything that could irritate his stomach anymore.”“Okay, okay, got it!”Soon, Evan was wheeled out, but he had yet to wake up from anesthesia.“Push Mr. Carter to the ward first!”“We will need to hang up two more intravenous drips for him later.”“Got it, doctor.”A few nurses wheeled Evan to the VIP ward.Then, they transfer him to the hospital bed.“We have to leave someone here to watch over him. Whic
Anya’s POV:Although I was worried, I was still determined to leave the hospital.If Kester finds out, he will probably think too much.I didn’t want more trouble to crop up.I had just left the hospital when my phone rang.“Beep, beep!”“Hello, Kester?”“Anya, was everything okay last night?”“It’s okay.”“Did you not sleep well? Why are you your eyes so red?”I rubbed my eyes and said vaguely, “I didn’t sleep well yesterday.”“We’re going to try wedding gown today. Where are you now? I’ll pick you up later.”“Oh, I will go over in the afternoon. I still have to go to the office in the morning.”“Alright. I will pick you up this afternoon!”“Mm-hmm!”When I arrived at the office, it was already past 9:00.Mr. White and Mr. Patel have completed the handover of their work over the past few days. And the management staff had to be reshuffled.Currently, the company has only two shareholders.As I had placed 30% of my stake as collateral, and only had 25% of the company share at that mom
Anya’s POV:Downstairs, Kester was already waiting for me in the parking lot.He opened the passenger door like a gentleman.I got into the car gracefully, “Thank you.”Kester got into the car after that. “Anya, are you tired today?”“It’s all right.”“What do you want to eat?”I smile gently, “Anything is fine.”“Then, shall we go to the French restaurant we went to the last time? I heard that they have a nude items on the menu.”“Sure.”Kester smiled faintly, started the car, and bought me to that restaurant.After the meal, it was already 2:30 PM. Then. We went to the wedding studio.“Welcome Mr. Helsen, welcome Miss Walter! This way please! Let me give you a brief introduction.”I looked at the splendid array of wedding gowns and was a little dazzled. Every piece was very beautiful, and they looked just like artwork in the exhibition.“This studio only stocks handmade wedding gowns made in Italy.”“Anya there is not enough time for our wedding day. If we customize a wedding gown,
Anya’s POV:If we wanted to complete a set of wedding photos, we would have to select many outdoor venues for our photo shoot. There was not enough time when we were so pressed for time.Therefore, we could only shoot an interior scene first. This shot would be used as a poster at the wedding ceremony. I was wearing the white wedding gown while Kester changed into a white suit. We took a few simple photos. Even so, it was already past 8:00 p.m. by the time we finished taking the photos.I was downright exhausted. I stood in my high heels for the entire afternoon.Outside the changing room, after changing into my own clothes, I was so tired that I collapsed on the sofa.I didn’t want to get up again.Kester looked at my exhausted appearance and said, “Are you very tired?”“A little.”“Come, take off your shoes!”I looked at him with a puzzled expression, “Why?”He walked forward and took off my shoes. Then he gently massaged my feet. “You wore high heels today and stood for the entire
Anya’s POV:Evan didn’t say anything. He simply looked at me icily with both eyes.I also returned him a frosty glare.Our eyes locked and we remained silent for a few minutes.Five minutes later, I finally broke the silence. “Do you have anything to say? If you have nothing to say, I will go back now!”He called out icily, “Anya!”“Go ahead. I am listening.” I stopped in my tracks again.He lifted the blanket and got out of bed slowly.Upon seeing this, I instantly took a two-step back. “If you want to say something, just stand there and say it.”He was still approaching me step by step.I panicked and subconsciously wanted to walk towards the exit.Unfortunately, Evan had already grabbed my wrist and abruptly pulled me into his arms.“Argh… Don’t come near me!”“Anya, do you have to torment me like this?” Evan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he pushed me viciously onto the hospital bed. Then, he leaned over and pressed me down.He pinned me down firmly under his demonic claws.“I have ca
Anya’s POV:I could no longer bear to continue watching. My heart ached as I felt terrible.Although she hated Evan, for some reason, I couldn’t bear to see him in pain.“You guys take care of him. Call me if anything happens.”When Coral heard this, his expression became grim. “Miss Walter, it is better if you stay. If anything happens to Mr. Carter, we won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”I shook my head dejectedly, “No, the doctor said that he has survived the critical period. You guys are responsible for taking care of him. He will recover soon.”“Miss Walter…” Coral wanted to persuade me to stay.“I have other matters to attend to. I have to go.”With that, I fled the hospital in a hurry.I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, my determination would start waiver.At 9:30, I returned to the office in a groggy stupor.I have been feeling exhausted since yesterday afternoon. Coupled with the fact that I had not slept the entire night, I was even more exhausted now.Today wa
Jenny’s POV:Ten minutes later, Jimmy entered the office with Marlowe.Marlowe walked in and looked at the mess on the ground. He teased, “What, who provoked Miss Gracia?”I rolled my eyes coldly and growled, “What brings the prestigious President Yanice here today?”A sly look appeared in Marlowe’s eyes as he said in a glib tone. “Miss Garcia, long time no see. I miss you.”I snorted, “If you have something to say, just say it.” I rolled my eyes arrogantly and impatiently.Marlowe might be one of the wealthy second generation, but he was not popular in the elite circle of the rich second generation.After all, Marlowe had been imprisoned for nine years. Moreover, his reputation was not good. The elite circle of affluent second generation was not very willing to associate with him.“Look at what you are saying, Miss Garcia. You are so distant…”
Anya’s POV:I frowned. “Evan, are you serious?”He looked solemn, “Of course. There is a piece of land in the back of the house that was bought a few years ago. It had just been used. It come handy now. We will build children’s playground for our children to play.”I frowned and looked at Evan, transfixed.“Also, I have thought about it. My next step is to invest in a school.”As he spoke, Evan touched his chin and said regretfully, “Tsk. Why didn’t I think of investing in this sector in the past? If we had invested earlier, it would be more convenient for the children. However, it's not too late. When they go to middle school and university, it will come in handy. I have already thought about it. When they were in middle school, I would send them overseas for education. During vacation, they can come back to X city for private classes.”I was completely speechless after heari
Anya’s POV:I was thinking silently on the hospital bed, not reacting to him. After receiving utensils from him, I ate mechanically.If I left him, I needed money.I plan to sell the properties in M city and Green town. At the same time, I would also sell the properties overseas.Evan had once given me black card. I had used part of it, but there was still over $20 million on it.I could use this time to cash out all these things and then choose the right time to leave him.Seeing that I only ate rice and didn’t pick any of the other dishes, Evan leaned over and peered at me few seconds. He asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like this? Are you feeling unwell?”“I am fine. It’s just that my calf hurts a little,” I replied quietly.“I will call the doctors and tell them to prescribe you some painkillers.”“No need. It's not good to take too many painkillers!”When Evan heard this, he held my hand again. “Anya, I am sorry. I won’t force you anymore. If there is anything,
Anya’s POV:I didn’t reply. Due to the anesthetic, I was in a daze. I turned over slightly and continued sleeping.At 6:00 PM, Miranda came to deliver dinner with one servant.Jason, Jerry, and Flora all followed.As soon as the three children entered the ward, they couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, do you have a baby?”I looked at my children and hesitated.The three little fellows didn’t know that I had experienced the moment of life and death when I jumped off the house today. They thought that it was only because I was pregnant that I was hospitalized.Of course, it was also because Evan ordered not to let anyone tell the children that I had jumped today.“Mommy, can I look at your belly?”“Is Mommy going to give birth to a little sister or brother again?”Evan replied on my behalf. “That’s right! Are you happy?”“Yes, if Mommy gives birth to a baby, will she still love us?”“Silly, of course!”Jason grinned, “I want a little sister.”Jerry chimed in, “I want a sister, too!”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:What a surprise.I had wanted to have another child, but Anya refused. The last time Anya accidentally miscarried made me feel heartbroken.It was great that she is finally pregnant again.In the ward, I could not contain my joy. “Anya, are you awake?”Anya was lying on the hospital bed. Her calf was already injured, and she was a little out of her wits.I have forgotten about the conflict and argument just now. I excitedly shook Anya’s arm, “Anya, I have some good news for you.”Anya’s face was numb.I continued, “The doctor said that you are pregnant? We are having another baby.”Anya’s POV:When I heard this, my eyelids dropped slightly, but I still didn’t reply.The child came at the wrong time. I didn’t want to give birth to his child again.Evan buried his head in my belly, sticking close to this unborn child. “Anya, are you happy?”“I hope this child is a girl so Flora can have company. However, it doesn’t matter if we have a boy. Anywhere, the more, the better. Aft
Anya’s POV:I was still in a mental breakdown. What Evan said was completely unbelievable.After a few seconds, the blackout in her head dissipated. “Evan, don’t force me. I want to leave this place. Let me go. If you don’t let me leave this place, I will die now!”“Anya, don’t be rash. Think about the children. Can you bear to leave the children? If you die, what will happen to the children? Can you bear to see them without a mother?”I was stunned and calmed down.If I die, the children will certainly be very sad.However, if I stayed here, I would certainly die.“Evan, I want a car. Let me go. I am leaving now. Give me a password and identification…”“Anya, don’t push your luck!”Evan subconsciously took another step forward.Seeing him move, I panicked even more. “Don’t come over. Don’t come over!”My emotions turned increasingly unstable, and my hoarse roar made me black out and fall out.“Ah!!”Evan’s POV:“Anya…” I cried out in surprise. I rushed forward and grabbed the handrai
Anya’s POV:Footsteps sounded outside the door.My heart tightened. Evan seems to be back. I will hang up first.”As I spoke, I hurriedly hung up the phone.At the same time, the door was kicked open.Evan walked in with a gloomy expression. “Anya, who are you talking to?”“No, no one.”“No one?” Evan’s eyes were filled with a sense of murder.“Give me your phone.”“I really didn’t…” Fear appeared in my eyes.Evan sneered and snatched my phone away.Evan’s POV:In the past month, I deliberately didn’t confiscate her phone to see if she could contact Kester.Of course, Anya’s phone had already been installed with this listening system. I would know if she called anyone.After reading the call log, I smile sinisterly. “Didn’t you say you have nothing to do with Kester? Why are you calling him now? Do you want him to save you?”Anya’s POV:Seeing this I retreated in fear.Looking at the fur in his eyes, I trembled.In the past month, my depression had relapsed again. I was struggling and
Anya’s POV:I know that he loved to speak in reverse.He was just provoking me by saying all of this.If I did, as he said, he might end up kidding me.“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” Having lost patience, he grabbed my collar, lifting me.I lifted my eyelids slightly, looking at him with exhaustion and indifference.“Evan, I am really tired. Can you just let me go?”Evan’s POV:My heart skipped a beat while my brows furrowed immensely.Meanwhile, my heart aches as well.I was not a narrow minded man, but when it comes to ambiguous relationship between Kester and Anya, I offered no room for tolerance.I couldn’t bear the thought of her having another man in her art, even if it was just a small fraction.Her beautiful eyes were now filled with endless sadness. “Evan, let’s let go of each other. I don’t want anything anymore, and I just want a little freedom. Please let me go. I am willing to give up everything, including the Walter group.”As her last sentence trailed off wear
Evan’s POV:Anya kept her eyes shut, allowing me to shake her,However, her response drove me to the brink of madness.She was like a flexible knife, seemingly harmless but capable of inflicting significant harm.She excelled at the silent treatment and disliked arguing with me.It seemed to me that no matter how angry or violent I became, she would retaliate in the gentlest yet most devastating way.It always drove me to the brink of madness, making me want to conquer her in bed.Anya’s POV:In the next few days, I continued suffering from high temperatures.Because of that, Evan, perhaps carrying a hint of humanity, did not punish me further.Besides, he had to go to M city to manage the Green Bay construction project, so he didn’t spend much time in X city.In other words, I had narrowly avoided a disaster.After five days of recuperation, my body had recovered to some extent. Although the fever had subsided, I felt mentally exhausted.However, there was no way for me to leave.She
