Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:If Flora was kidnapped, with the Carter family's financial resources, no matter how much ransom was asked, we could afford it.But I was afraid that David had abducted Flora. The situation would be different if that’s the case.He hated me to the core. He might very well take revenge on me by hurting Flora.In the next hour, Evan and I looked like it was the end of the world.Every second seems to be like endless darkness.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finally, Evan’s phone rang.Evan held his breath and quickly picked up the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, a distorted voice from a voice changer said, “Hello, there Mr. Carter!”Evan’s POV:I gasped. This voice was very familiar to me.Just like the kidnapper who kidnapped Princess Martha before, it was the same kind of voice changer. “Who are you exactly?”“Do you have my daughter?”“That’s, smart!”“Please don’t hurt my daughter. How much do you want? I will give it to you.”“I don’t want money this time. I want people.
Anya’s POV:After waiting for the entire night, the call didn’t come again.Evan and I had not slept the entire night. Our eyes are red from exhaustion from the whole night. We remain on the edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.Beep! Beep! Beep!In the morning, Evan’s phone rang againThe two of us reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you have not made up your mind yet.”I asked bluntly, “David, is that you?”The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.I took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it’s you. Please don’t hurt Flora. If you hate me, you can come at me. Flora is just a child. She is innocent. Please don’t hurt her. No matter what, you are her biological uncle.”When David heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”“David, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”
Evan’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!David called again.Anya and I both rushed to answer the call. I answered the call hastily.“Hello…”On the other end of the phone, David said gloomily, “Anya, come to Newcan Island alone! Don’t play any tricks, or your daughter will die a horrible death.”Anya’s voice sank, “Alright, don’t worry. I will go alone.”“If I find out that you and Evan were playing any tricks behind the scenes, I will chop your daughter into pieces and feed her to the dogs.”“David, don’t hurt, Flora. Don’t worry, I will go alone.”He sneered and hung up.After hanging up, my eyes darkened. “Anya, I won’t allow you to go. If somebody has to go, it would be me.”Anya’s expression was a little unfocused, “Evan this is the grudge between me and David. Let me settle it alone.”“No, I won’t let you go alone to meet your death. Kody keeps an eye on her. Don’t let her leave Sherane Bay Villa.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Without waiting for the bodyguard to come forward, Anya rushed to the co
Anya’s POV:Surrounded by small islands, one can observe the environment where I standing with a pair of binoculars.After hanging up, I got out of the car. She stood on the dock and looked around.There were fishermen selling seafood everywhere. On the sea, many small fishing boats were floating around.The fisherman stood on the fishing boat and enthusiastically hawked to passersby. “Do you won’t buy lobster? They are fresh and cheap.”“There are also groupers and crabs. They are all freshly caught. Come and buy some.”I was not in the mood to care about these people. I just looked at the people coming and going in front of me uneasily.I waited another ten minutes or so.A middle-aged man with dark skin approached me. “You are Anya Walter, right?”I turned around and saw a man dressed as a fisherman standing behind me.“Yes, I am Anya Walter!”“Come with me!”I held my breath and hurriedly followed the fisherman.The fisherman brought me to a relatively quiet dock and pointed at th
David’s POV:When I heard this, my eyes turned easily red.I have not seen my father since I started fleeing.Especially after my Dad was hospitalized. I never bothered to visit him even once. In the past, I treated my Dad’s pride and glory like my own.But now seeing myself in the state, I couldn’t bear to face Dad anymore.Seeing a slight change in my expression, Anya quickly continues to appeal to our family bond. “David don’t make another mistake. We are biological siblings, and you are also Flora’s biological uncle. If you let Flora go, you can do whatever you want to me.”“I am also heartbroken that Walter's family ended like this. But ever since I was young, I have always tried my best to integrate into your family…”“The family doesn’t accept me and keeps excluding me…”I suddenly waved his hands, “Shut up and stop spouting nonse
Anya’s POV:Flora and I were locked in the dilapidated house. The house was dark and damp, which emitted a strong moldy smell.Flora couldn’t stop trembling. She was dehydrated. “Mommy, I am so thirsty.”I touched Flora’s head and felt that it was burning. Flora was having a fever and was already in a daze.“Flora bear with it a little longer. Mommy will find water for you.”The windows in the house for nailed shut, and the door was locked. I looked around, but there was no water or food.Helplessly, I could only knock on the door anxiously, “Open the door! Open the door. Someone is here!”After shooting for about five to six minutes, a sound was heard from outside the door.“What are you shouting for?”A fat and short kidnapper opened the door fiercely.“Brother, my daughter is having a fever. Can you give me a bottle of water, please?”
Anya’s POV:“Mommy…”“Shh!” I quickly covered Flora’s mouth and looked at David nervously through the gap.Seeing him walk towards the chicken coop, step by step with a gun in his hand, my heart beat widely like a drum.Fortunately, David only took a glance before turning around and leaving the courtyard to look for the shore.After all, if one wanted to leave the deserted island, we could only leave by boat.Seeing David gone, I have a sigh of relief.I had to contact someone as soon as possible and seek help. My phone had been confiscated. If I wanted to call the police, I had to get my phone back.David’s POV:I went to the beach and looked around, but didn’t find Anya.However, I was sure that Anya could not leave this island. She must be hiding somewhere.Thinking of this, I turned back.I planned to search the few dilapidated houses again. As long as I search carefully. I would find them.Anya’s POV:“This island is so small. David will return!” I thought for a moment. I couldn’
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
Evan’s POV:After a brief pause, I made a decision to let the children in, knowing that they had a special place in Anya heart and hoping that they could persuade her.Without hesitation, I walked to the door and let the children in.“Mommy, what happened to you?” Jason and Jerry were taken back to see Anya’s literature appearance as soon as they entered.Flora also said anxiously, “Mommy, are you feeling unwell?”“Mm!” Anya weekly lifted her gaze towards the children.“Did you to have another fight?” The three children quietly asked as they sensed that something was wrong.Flora pouted, looking pitiful as she looked at me. “Daddy, can’t you please stop fighting with Mommy? We don’t want you to fight again…”Upon hearing that I instantly put on a loving and gentle smile, “You guys are good kids. Well, Daddy and Mommy didn’t have a fight. You are over thinking it.”“Really?” The three little fellows were skeptical.“Of course. Daddy and Mommy will never fight. We are most loving couple
Evan’s POV:It was five o’clock in the afternoonI could not concentrate at work because I was worried that Anya would do something unpredictable again. Thus, as soon as it struck five, I left the office and headed home early.“Good evening, Mr. Carter,” the servants greeted in unison.I walked into the house with a gloomy expression.Miranda was waiting in the living room. When I saw her, I asked with a long face. “Miranda, how is Anya doing?”Miranda wore a mournful face as she replied sadly, “Anya has been in the room and just has not come out yet.”I frowned after hearing that, “She didn’t came out for the entire day.”“That’s right!”“Has she eaten anything?” My brows furrowed even more now.I was very worried because when Anya, a stubborn woman in my eyes, got angry, she would torment herself like crazy. Although I was mad at her, I had no intention of breaking ties with her completely.I wished she were smarter and capable of coaxing him a little more. I also longed for her to
