Evan was sick and tired of the farce. He smoothened his clothes and walked out of the room.


    Sydney went running after the young man immediately. She had to gain his favor.


    The strong smell of sex filled the room. Anya was alone.


    She stared at the vast and empty presidential suite. She couldn’t stop the tears from welling up in her


    eyes and spilling down her cheeks. Evan must hate her now. She had lost her chance with him forever.


    Anya wrapped her arms around herself and sat silently in bed. It was a long time before she finally left


    the suite and the hotel. She stepped out into the empty streets with the intention of hailing a cab and


    getting a ride back home. What she saw instead was Evan and the MacMins. They were standing in


    the carpark in front of the hotel.


    The young woman dried the tears in her eyes. When she took another look, she saw the thunderous


    look on Evan’s face and her stepmother talking incessantly to Evan. Anya had no idea what her


    stepmother was telling the man.


    She knew it. She had been set up. They had nned to ruin her all along. Evan loathed loose women


    who slept around. Anya had known that all along.


    Anya made her way to the carpark. Mdm MacMin’s eyes fell on her disheveled clothes and her


    rumpled hair. “Look at what you’ve done! You’re shameless! How could you drug Mr. Welton? Do you


    want to die? Think of what you’ve done to the Marshalls! You’re not my granddaughter. My


    granddaughter would know shame. Leave. Don’t you dare take a single step into our house again!“*


    Mdm MacMin reprimanded.


    “I didn’t drug him!” Anya retorted furiously as she cupped her swollen cheek. “Melissa set me up!”


    Melissa Campbell was Anya’s stepmother. She started sobbing when she heard what Anya had said.


    “Mr. Welton, don’t listen to her lies. She’s the one who asked me where she could get some


    aphrodisiac. I told her where she could get some but I had no idea what she needed it for. I didn’t


    realize she intended to use it on you! Mr. Welton…please don’t get upset. That’s just the kind of woman


    she is. She’s greedy. She’s greedy for Zachary’s love and for your family fortune. She wanted to marry


    into the Weltons and resorted to such a despicable way to achieve her n. But please, don’t get


    upset!”


    “The truth is out. There’s no ce for a tramp in the MacMin family,” Mdm MacMin said


    thunderously. “You’re no longer part of this family!”


    Evan cast an icy look at Anya. “You wanted to marry me? In your dreams.” Having said that, he


    stormed off.


    The rest of the MacMins left as well.


    Anya’s eyes reddened. She fell into a shapeless heap on the cold and hard ground.


    She couldn’t believe how cruel the MacMins are. How could they have set up such a vicious ploy just


    because they had wanted to drive her out of the family?


    Of course, that wasn’t the only thing they wanted. They wanted her reputation ruined. They wanted to


    crush all her hopes of ever marrying into a respectable family. They wanted to make sure that Evan


    would never fall for her.


    Anya wiped the tears off her face. They drove her out of the family but so what? She never intended to


    stay. She’ll show them. She didn’t need them to survive. In fact, her life would be better without them!


    She would find a way to take back what had once belonged to her mother. She would make them pay.


    She swore she would!


    A year pa**ed. The sun rose, its rays shining through an apartment somewhere in Nordeny. Anya had


    just sent her CV to a fashion design agency. It was thest application form from the batch sitting in her


    laptop. She stretched her arms and left the study. It was time to make breakfast for the kids.


    Time had been gracious to Anya. The helplessness and fragility she felt before was reced with a


    deeper and more mesmerizing beauty.


    Her long dark hair spilled down her back, a stark contrast against her snow–white skin. Her eyes


    sparkled like stars and her red lips plump.


    After she had been driven out of the MacMin family that night, she sought help from her maternal


    aunt, Ellie.


    Then, a monthter, Anya had discovered that she’s pregnant.


    The first thought that shed across her mind was to get rid of the baby. But after seeing two dark


    shadows on the sonog


    something had softened inside her chest. She ended up keeping the babies. She continued her studies


    while taking care of her children. Since she has decided to keep them, she swore she wouldn’t leave


    them on their own. She would do her very best to give them the best life she could provide them.

    Anya strolled into the kitchen leisurely and began making breakfast for herself and some supplements


    for her kids.


    The kids and Ellie were still asleep. Anya didn’t want to wake them.


    She got breakfast ready,id it out on the table and waited for her family to wake up.


    As she waited, she received a reply from the fashion design agency. Her application had been


    epted. She was to turn up for work at ner. Anya stared at the letter and tried to stifle her


    screams of joy. She was ted. She finally had a job. She could finally provide for the kids and for Ellie


    now.


    The young woman grinned widely at her phone as her two precious darlings slowly stirred awake.
