Anya’s POV:
“This is the ladies room. You are in the wrong place.” I said coldly, continuing to wash the blood off my hands.
However, instead of leaving, Evan scoffed and turned on the tap to wash his hands.
“I have underestimated you. I thought you were infatuated! But I didn’t expect you to find a new customer so quickly.”
Hearing that my eyes filled with anger, however, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.
I shook the water off my hand and walked straight.
However, before I could reach the door, Evan grabbed my arm at once and violently pinned me against the wall.
“Who is the father of your kids? When did you hook up with Kester Helsen?”
Hearing his arrogant words, I couldn’t help to sneer. ‘We have already divorced for so many years? How dare he ask questions from me? Did he still believe that I am obliged to obey him?’
I tried to break free from his grasp, but he was too strong for me. At last, I glared at him and said coldly, “Mr. Cater, please behave yourself. If you want to talk about work, then please wait in the office. And if you want to talk about the personal matter, then I am sorry, I have nothing to say to you.”
Evan curled up his lips in a sullen smile, as he leaned closer and closer to me.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but frown, my heart beating nervously!
Back then, Evan had complete dominance and control over me. Even though I had already away from him for so many years, I was still had been deeply traumatized by him.
The nerve on my body still retained the fair of him.
“Let me go of Evan! This is a place where I work! Don’t you dare…”
However, before I could finish my sentence, he cut me off!
“What are you afraid off? Are afraid that they might call you a slut for seducing your ex-husband in the washroom?”
“Are you insane? I am warning you. Show me respect!”
“A slut like you deserve no respect at all!”
“Evan Cater, don’t go to far!”
Saying that, I struggled violently, in an attempt to break free from him.
However, it had no use.
Evan was pinning my arms to the wall, making it impossible for me to struggle! What’s more, his aura was so oppressive that it made it difficult for me to breathe.
“Don’t you love it when I do such a things to you? Ha, I didn’t expect even after four years, you still didn’t stop pretending to be innocent!”
As he said, he took off my black-rimmed glasses and looked into my eyes with a wicked smile.
“It’s exactly that look on your face! I bet, Kester loves it, too, doesn’t he?”
At that moment I was completely flustered and shouted, “You Bastard! What are you doing. Stop it…”
However, Evan didn’t stop, instead, he grinned in satisfaction, as if my panicking expression made him happy.
Suddenly, the images of when we were still married flashed in my mind like a movie…
He was just like that. Every time he was in a mad mood or felt irritated, he liked to punish me with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever we were in bed.
And seeing him like this, it seemed that even after four years, he still hadn’t changed at all.
“What? Are you afraid of being seen? Are you afraid that after Kester know that he might dump you, right? Just cut it off, Anya Walter! I am sick of your dirty schemes.”
I was furious. “Then tell me Mr. Cater, what my schemes could possibly be?” I sneered coldly.
“Didn’t we agreed while getting divorced that you will leave the X city forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?” Evan said, raising my brows, with the murderous look on his face.
“I came back for my grandfather’s inheritance, it has nothing to with you. I said, behave yourself and show me some respect! Let go of me!”
“And I have also told you that a woman like you, didn’t deserve any respect, haven’t I?” Evan sneered, his big hand running over my body.
“Evan, we are divorced! What’s more, I don’t owe you anything. So, don’t disrespect me like this! Get your hands off me, or I will sue you for molestation!”
“Ha! You, sue me? Don’t make me laugh! Have you forgotten how you have drugged me and begged me to have a sex with you. It’s only been four years, how can you forget that?”
“For the last time, I didn’t drug anyone, especially you! I am the victim here, not you!”
“Ha! Just keep your lies to yourself, I am not interested in them!”
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. Then, I looked into his eyes and said, “Fine, believe whatever you want to believe! I have figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Let me tell you, divorcing you is the best thing ever happened to me.”
Evan’s POV:
Hearing Anya’s words, my face turned dark and I was completely pissed off.
The thing that bothered me was not that she came back, but that she came back with her sons with another man! Even though we have been divorced for so long, I don’t know why I still feel cheated or even betrayed.
I can stop loving or abandoning anyone, anything at any time! But I just can’t accept the fact that my toy was taken away by someone else!
As I saw the happy smile on Anya’s face, I felt irritated. Thus, I lowered my head and kissed her furiously.
I wanted to let her know what is the consequence of irritating me.
“Mm… get your hands off…” Anya struggled.
Suddenly, I let her go. Looking at her mockingly, I sneered, “Do you think that I will touch you again? Don’t flatter yourself! I won’t have sex with a whore who has been sleeping with the others. It disgusts me.”
After I finished speaking, I let go of her resentfully and walked out.
However, before I reached at the door, Anya’s angry voice come from behind me.
“Evan Cater, Stop!”
Evan’s POV:“What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…”I turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Anya pouncing on me with her high heels in her hands like a lion cub.Before I knew what had happened, I had been hit more than a dozen times.“Why are you always so mean to me? What do I owe you? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and full of shit!”Anya cursed as she continued to hit me! However, I was so stunned that I almost forgot to fight back. I just stood there straight and took the hit.The Anya I know had always been as timid as a lamb. She didn’t even dare to speak loudly, let alone hit anyone with her shoes.But now, she was striking me with her high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for me.She didn’t look like the same weak, and cowardly Anya she used to be.Instead, she looked like a powerful woman! 'If anyone messed with her, she would not let him go!'After I regained my composure, I looked at her and yelled, “Stop that, woman! Don’t force me to fight
Mr. Paul POV:As I looked at the reports in my hand, I couldn’t help but get shocked.Anya is the vice president of JK Technologies… How can this be possible?“I was vice-president of JK technologies in charge of domestic operations. Here are the financial statement for the last three years. I think you all must have heard that JK’s profit in this region have increased in last few years.”As I was lost deep in my thoughts, Anya’s voice pulled my thoughts back to reality.Hearing her words, everyone in the meeting room had the same expression, shock!After all, JK Technologies was too well-known in the whole world to ignore any information about it. And to be the vice-president of JK technologies at such a young age, luck was required, but it was not gonna happen without abilities.“Wait, a minute! You can’t be the famous Miss Walter of JK Technologies, can you?” I could not help but ask in shock.Anya smiled confidently at me and replied, “Yes, that’s me.”As soon as she finished spea
Anya’s POV:I had never spent a penny of my father’s money ever since I was a kid, nor felt any father in love from him. What’s more, I only returned to X city at the age of 12 after my mother died.“Anya, did I hear it right? You are going to kick me, your father, out?”I looked at him coldly. “I am not kicking you out. It’s that you are not fit to be in the Walter Group anymore!”Nowadays, the Walter Group is crammed with Mia’s all kinds of relatives. These people all came here to slack off. The Walter Group would go down sooner or later if I didn’t get rid of them.“Good, very good! What a dutiful daughter! What a misfortune for my family! I have raised you for nothing. How could I have given birth to… to such an ungrateful person like you!” My father said as he pounded the desk angrily.“Dad, for so many years, you have never really raised me. I have never spent a penny of your money. So please don’t say that you raised me or anything like that ever again.” I said coldly.My words
Anya’s POV:Looking at my two little angels, the anger I felt before all flew away.“Mommy is still in the meeting. You need to go home. After the meeting, I will go back with you, okay?” I said, smiling at them.Jerry stuck his hands into his pockets, his face was extremely serious. “Mommy, Jason and I are worried that you might be bullied. We are going to stay here and protect you!” he said.Hearing this, I couldn’t help smiling. “My dear, boys, thank you. But Mommy needs to finish the meeting first and you will distract Mommy by staying here!”“Well… sure! You go to the meeting first Mommy, and we will wait for you here. I will take care of Jason and not make any trouble!” Jerry said.“Yeah, we are not going anywhere, Mommy!” Jason also nodded.Seeing them, I couldn’t feel warm in my heart. They are about the same age, but both of them have different personalities. Jerry is unusually intelligent. On the other hand, Jason is harp-witted and very good at observing people.“No one bul
Anya’s POV:As I looked at Evan's calm face, I wanted to slap him hard in the face!As I was cursing Evan in my heart, my father’s impatience voice fell into my ear.“Anya, if you sign in, I will let you be the chairman. However, I must warn you that I don’t think you can fulfil that promise. By then, you will lose everything and bring more shame to the whole Walter family. Then that time comes. I will cut off from you as well. Of course, if you give up the shares right now, you will still my beloved daughter. And as your father, I will certainly treat you well!”It would not need to be genius to know what he was implying.He was threatening me, that if I was determined to replace him, then he would cut off the father-daughter relationship between us.Suddenly, I felt a chill rising in my heart for no reason!First, it was the obstruction from my ex-husband, and now my father started morally blackmailing me as well.This is certainly a tough moment!“Fine. I will sign it.However, I ha
Mia’s POV:After getting rid of the security guards, I chased after Anya. However, as soon as I came out, I was surrounded by the reporters at once.“Mrs, Walter, can you tell us what has happened?” one of the reporters asked.Seeing the reporters, I took a deep breath as I didn’t want to ruin my fair lady image in front of the public. Then I said, “What happened is that we, Walter have raised an ungrateful girl who has turned her back on us today! She has no mercy even for her father!”“Mrs. Walter, what do you think of Anya’s relationship with Mr. Helsen?”“Rumors has it that Anya’s bought into Shining Star Media. Is it true?”“It’s her private business. You should ask her.” I said with a dark face as I was not in the mood for an interview. “Stealing men from other women and taking away properties from others. That kind of thing happens a lot. However, you need to see through all these. The Helsen family is a very respectable one. Will they allow a woman like that, to marry their fa
Anya’s POV:At the seven-star hotel.After leaving the Walter Group, I returned to the hotel, feeling exhausted.I had booked a suite here and had already paid for months. I also hired three nannies to look after the children.It was not that I could not afford a house. However, at that moment, the convenience of the hotel was more important to me!“Mommy, you are back?”As soon as I opened the door, the two little fellows ran toward me.“Yeah, Mommy is back!” I bent down to stroke my son’s head first then changed my slippers.“And Ora, how is she?”“Ora has just woken up!”“Okay, Mommy is going to check on her first, alright?”Then, I changed my clothes, washed my face and hands, disinfected myself, and went to my daughter’s room.“Ora, Mommy’s home!”“Mommy!”The little girl was lying on her bed. As soon as she saw me, a bright smile appeared on her skinny face.Ora had been hurt by a congenital heart defect and hemolytic anemia ever since she was born. The hemamebas in her body wer
Anya’s POV:Buzz… buzz…As I was sleeping, my phone suddenly rang.I picked up my phone on the bedside table. It was Kester!“Jester? What are you calling me for this hour?”On the other end, the line Kester’s worried voice replied, “Anya, have you seen the news?”“What news?” I rubbed my eyes, confused.“Check on your cellphone and read the entertainment news!”Hearing that my heart skipped a beat as I had a very bad feeling about this.I still remember how badly I had been roasted six years ago. Back then, I was still that innocent girl, and even thought about jumping off the roof to end my life. I prayed that it would not happen to me ever again.I shivered and unlocked my phone. And in an instant, more than five notifications popped up. And they were all about me.“After hooking up with her brother-in-law and getting kicked out, Anya Walter has moved to her next victim!”“The former lady of X city fell out with her family for inheritance. Her father was kicked out of the board, an
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
