Anya’s POV:The Helsen family was a big, influential family and a preeminent family in V city.Although, I was also the well-born daughter of wealthy family, I was married before. In the eyes of Helsen family’s elders, this was completely unacceptable.In particular, my reputation was not very good. I was considered fairly infamous in V city and X City.Kester’s third aunt, Yasmine Helsen also seized me up arrogantly, “Welcome, Miss Walter!”“Our Helsen family has more family members and also more rules. If you want to marry into our Helsen family, you have to abide by our Helsen family’s rules.”I subconsciously frowned a little.They were flexing their muscles to intimidate me.“Anya, this is my stepmother, Madam Genevieve!” Kester carried on with the introductions.After one round, just the elders alone already made up more than ten members.“Please take a seat.”“Oh, thank you.” I sat down at the table somewhat nervously.More than ten pairs of eyes looked at me in union like scan
Anya’s POV:Once Tin had spoken, no one dare to say anything else.In the Helsen family dining hall, everyone sat around the long table.It felt like some kind of reunion party.Tim liked usually lively atmosphere. Usually, when he ate, he would have his whole family with him.The food was apportioned beforehand, and the servants would serve each plate to everyone.As for me, this was the first time I was eating at the same table with so many people.During the entire meal, I felt as if my back was drenched in sweat.After meal, Tim summoned me and Kester to the study.After all, his son was getting married. As a father, he naturally had something to say.“Kester, since you and Anya are getting married, you have to get along well with each other in the future! This is a small gift I prepared for you. I wish you two a happy marriage.”As he spoke, he handed a bank card to his son.“There are twenty million dollars in this card’s account. Take it as my wedding gift to you two. Use it to
Kester’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!Right at that moment, my phone rang. I picked up my phone and saw that it was called from Ellen. My expression changed at once. I immediately said, “Anya, I have to take this call.”“Mm-hmm.”“Hello?”On the other end of the line, Ellen laughed, “Mr. Helsen, congratulations.”I frowned, “Why did you call me?”“Nothing much. I just miss you.”“Why are you looking for me? If there is nothing, I am ending up calling.”“Hey, don’t end the call yet. I need to see you regarding some urgent matter!”“What is it?”“I can only tell you when I meet you in person.”“What on Earth is it?”“I told you, I will tell you when I meet up with you.”I was even more flustered. “I don’t have time to meet up wit
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
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
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
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
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
Tina’s POV:“Miss Tina, this way, please!”Lillian brought me to the servant’s dormitory.The front pavilion of Sherane Bay Villa was the place where the servant lived. There were many servants in the Carter family, and most of them lived here.Lillian took out the key and opened one of the rooms. “This will be a room from now. Let me know if you need anything.”I walked in and looked around the room. It looked a bit crowded.Although it was also very clean, it was for servants after all. So it was small and simple. I grew up in a rich family. I had never stayed in such a small room.“Thank you.” I squeezed out a fake smile.“You are welcome.” Lilian smiled politely, and then left the room, leaving me alone.I sat on the bed with resentment in my heart. I was supposed to be the hostess of this family and enjoy everything here.But now I had to stay in the servant’s room. How could I be willing to reconcile?“Anya, Evan, just you wait. One day, I will take back everything that belongs
I felt stifled.If people were to discover that I had been involved with both Anya and Tina simultaneously, they would undoubtedly perceive my private life as chaotic and complicated.I had always only loved Anya. My past relationship with Tina was merely a result of a misunderstanding.I treated Tina as my savior.If I had known from the beginning that it was Anya who saved me, I wouldn’t have liked Tina.I suppressed the anger in my heart and held her arm, “Anya, what exactly do you want to do?”“I don’t want to do anything. Dad has passed away, and Tina is sick. As her sister, I should take care of her.”When I heard this, I was even more furious, “If you want to take care of her, we can give her money and hire someone else to take care of her. There is no need to let her into our house.”“There are already so many people in our lives, adding Tina into it would not harm. Besides, I don’t even mind. Why are you so angry?”“Anya I don’t agree. She can’t live with us.”Seeing that Any
Anya’s POV:Half an hour later, I returned to X city.“Anya, are you sure you want me to take home?”I looked at Tina sadly but replied firmly, “Yes.”Tina’s face turned pale. She said worriedly, “But I am afraid that Evan will be unhappy.”When I heard this, a strange smile appeared on my face as I replied, “Don’t worry. He won’t.”I was doing that precisely to make Evan unhappy.I was going to do everything he didn’t want me to do. Of course, I was not stupid enough to go against him openly. I was not planning to fight fire with fire, but instead, slice his heart slowly and gently.Since Tina was scheming to stick to me to ruin my relationship with Evan, I naturally had to go with the flow.Tina was still acting innocent as she put on an innocent expression and spoke, “I am still worried! Evan hates me so much so he will certainly be ma
Anya’s POV:Kester had indeed already woken up, and he was not in any more danger.He had almost recuperated fully and would be able to be discharged in another half a month.I walked in front of the bed. When I saw Kester’s slightly pale face, I couldn’t hold back my tears.I took a quick few steps and threw myself at the head of the bed. “Kester, I am sorry. I am sorry. Thank God you’re finally awake!”I cried as I spoke. I felt especially dejected and emotional. I had too many things to say, but at this point, I didn’t know what else to say.Kester’s eyes were a little empty and his voice was a little hoarse. He paused a little before questioning, “Who are you? Do we know each other?”Boom!I was still crying sadly, but when I heard Kester's question, it was as though a bomb had gone off my head. I looked at him in shock.“Kester, I am Anya Walter! Don&
Anya’s POV:The next day, I packed up and prepared to go to V city to visit Helsen.Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the door of Sherane Bay Villa, I saw Tina standing right outside the door.“Stop the car!” I instructed before quickly getting out of the car.“Anya…”“Tina, what are you doing here?”“I have been waiting for you.”I frowned and asked, “Waiting for me.”“Evan, don’t allow me to see you, so I have no choice but to wait here.’“How long have you been waiting here?”“I have been waiting here every day. I have no other way of meeting you, except waiting outside.” She cried.“Tina…”“Anya, I don’t dare to be alone at home. I am really scared.”“I am in a hurry. I want to…”“Anya, are you still mad at me? You must be still angry with me. Otherwise, why are you not willing to talk to me?”“I am not mad at you…”“Didn’t you promise me that you would persuade Evan? Anya, are you lying to me? Or are you worried that I have bad intentions?”“No, I didn’t…”“Anya please for
Anya’s POV:I had just slept for little more than ten minutes when I was stuck in a nightmare. My entire body kept twitching, and I couldn’t wake up no matter what.Fortunately, Evan had been standing guard at my side and immediately woke me up. “Anya, wake up quickly.”“Ah!” I screamed and opened my eyes.“What’s wrong? Did you have another nightmare?”I was drenched in a cold sweat and threw myself into Evan’s arms in a panic and said in fear, “Evan, I want to leave the hospital.”“What’s wrong?”I felt chilled over and couldn’t help but tremble. I replied, “Nothing’s wrong. I just don’t want to stay in the hospital. I just dreamed of something especially terrifying again.”Thinking about the nightmare, it was too terrifying. The hospital's dark energy was too heavy compared to the other places. So the nightmares were much more intense.“Don’t be afraid. The nightmares are all not real.”“I want to be discharged. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”“Okay, Alright. I will get someone
Tina’s POV:Evan didn’t listen to my explanation. “Don’t come to the hospital again in the future, and don’t appear in before my sight. Otherwise, If I can get you out of the mental hospital, I can send you back.”When I heard this, I took a cold breath, and I was so frightened that I was incoherent. “Evan, I am here to deliver soup to Anya. Anya’s health isn’t good. I am worried. I want to treat Anya better and do something for her.”“Tina, if you want to do something, stay away from Anya. If you come to the hospital to pester Anya again, don’t blame me for being nasty.”“Evan… I know you hate me. I realized my mistake! It’s my fault. I have let you down your love and hurt your heart. I dare not to ask for forgiveness, nor will I harbor any other improper thoughts. Please, Evan, I beg you…”Before I could finish, Evan said impatiently, “Tina stopped talking. There has never been love between you and me. Where did the hatred come from? Leave the hospital now. Don’t let me see you agai
Anya’s POV:Tina had come this far. Although, I didn’t pity her. I still felt a little guilty.No matter what the reason was, it was all because of me. Now that my father was dead, I would help her if I could.“Sister…” Tina hesitated, looking embarrassed.“What’s wrong? Just say what you want to say.”“Sister, I want to stay by your side to take care of you.”After Tina finished speaking, she quickly explained nervously, “This way, I will have someone to accompany me and have significant expenses. Oh sister, please don’t misunderstand. I have no ulterior motive or other intention. I just want to stay by your side. On the other hand, I will want to take care of you. On there under I want to salvage myself.”I don’t know how to refuse.Seeing that I didn’t say anything, she looked even more pitiful, “Sister, I go back to an empty room every day. I am afraid. I am alone, and no one talks to me. Harry is a guy. There are many things that I can’t say to him. Sister, can you promise me?”A
Evan’s POV:I was stunned and my eyes moved slightly.I never believed in such things.However, my Grandma believes in this.So, from a young age under the influence of my grandmother, I have heard and seen many similar things.Moreover, the wealthier the person was, the more they believed in superstition.These things are all interconnected and not unexplainable using scientific principles. After all, there are many aspects of the magnetic field that even scientists have not fully understood.“Say what do you want to say?”Gael said bluntly, “Why don’t we consult Miss Walter's symptoms with Mr. Lewis.”I frowned slightly when I heard that.Mr. Lewis was the famous Geomancer of X City and a distinguished guest of Grandma. Almost all the respectable people in X city have some connection with him.In the past, whenever anything happened to the Carter family, Grandma would look for Mr. Lewis for advice.However, since Grandma passed away, the Carter family never invited Mr. Lewis again.
