Chapter 2 Not giving up again
Anya's
POV:
As I opened my eyes, a strong smell of disinfectant rushed into my nose. After looking around, I realized that I was in the hospital.
Suddenly, what happened in the morning rushed into my mind and I touched my belly. "My child... My child. Is he safe?'
As I was thinking, a doctor came into the ward for the examination. Seeing him, I quickly looked at him and asked, "Doctor, how is my child? Is he safe?'
Hearing my question doctor looked at him and replied, "We have saved your child for now, however... I will suggest you give up one child. Your condition was originally not very good and after this accident, it became even more complicated. If you insist on keeping all the children, it may risk your life..."
At that moment, the door of the ward opened, and a man walked into the ward. The man was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He was also holding a briefcase in his hand.
However, I had never seen him before...
It seemed that he had seen the confused look in my eyes and explained, "Miss Walter, I am Edward Gary, Mr. Carter's layer."
Then, he turned to the doctor and said, "If you are done with the examination, please excuse us. We have something to talk about."
Hearing that, the doctor nodded and left the ward.
Now only I and Mr. Gary were left in the room. Then, Mr. Gray opened his briefcase, took out some documents, and handed them to me, saying, "Miss Wilson, Mr. Carter wants you to sign these papers."
I took the papers from his hand with a puzzled look in my eyes. However, as soon as I looked at the document, the two words 'Divorce Agreement' came into my view. Looking at the corner of the papers, I saw that Evan had already signed the papers.
Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more than a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since she was back, how can he let me stay there?'
"After you sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added.
Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him and signed the name.
I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life.
After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences."
The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children.
After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father."
'As for giving one of my children, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what...'
*****
Four Years Later.
At Walter Group.
Mia's POV:
I paced back and forth inside the office after hearing the will lawyer read. At that moment everyone in the Walter family was in miserable condition.
The old bastard, Karl Walter, my father-in-law had changed his will at the last moment before he died without telling anyone.
According to his will, he had 51% shares of the Walter Group to his eldest daughter, Anya. As for the other members of the Walter family, they would only inherit 10% of the shares.
What was even more frustrating is that according to the additional condition of the will, if Anya didn't show up within three days after his death, all the properties of the Walter family would go straight to the government.
What's more, today is the third day and there is no clue about Anya at all. As if she had been disappeared from the world.
Ever since Evan had divorced her, no one had never seen her again.
"The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!" I cursed furiously.
Back then after I kicked Anya and her mother out of the Walter family, with twins in my belly, I thought I had secured the position in the Walter family.
I had never even expected in my wildest dreams that something like this would happen.
Of all three children of mine, that old man still favored that little bitch.
The more I thought about it the angrier I felt.
At that moment, Frank walked to the lawyer and asked, "Mr. Ethan, I hope you can think of any way to save this situation. If things went out like this, all the properties of the Walter family bequeathed to the government. Oh. no... what to do? None of us has seen Anya over the years! And my father, too. No one knows what he was thinking. How can he ignore his three grandson who accompanied him every day and leave everything to that wreathed girl."
I also added from the side, "Yes, Mr. Ethan, I hope you can find any solution. Anya had been gone for so many years and we didn't even know if she was still alive. How can someone leave everything to the person who one didn't know if he was still alive or not." However, Mr. Ethan shook his head and said helplessly, "I am sorry, Mrs. Walter, but there is no other way. If Miss Anya Walter didn't show up today, then all the properties of the Walter family bequeathed to the government."
Hearing that I clenched my fists tightly.
"Evan, do you know where my sister has been?" Suddenly, I heard Tara ask Evan in a voice laced with impatience. Hearing that, I also looked at Evan.
However, hearing Tara's question Even frowned and didn't say anything and seemed to be lost in deep thoughts.
At that moment, the sound of high heels tapping on the wooden floor fell into my ears and the door of the office was pushed open by someone.
I turned around and looked in the direction of the door and saw a woman wearing a custom-made suit standing at the gate. She was holding a limited-edition bag in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. She had a pair of slender long legs, and a pair of high heels made them look slenderer.
As she walked in she gave the vibe of an ice-cold-beauty, causing the temperature in the office to drop a few degrees.
"Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?" Tara said impatiently.
"It's me, Anya!" The woman took off her oversized glasses and spoke.
"Anya!" Hearing that all in the room gasped in surprise.
"Anya... You are finally back! If you don't come, we don't know what would have happen to us... Walter Group was almost got ruined." Frank exclaimed.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
