Desires Die Hard

Anya immediately noticed her grandmother, her step–mother Melissa, and her ruthless father, Cornelius when she entered the living room.

It seemed that not only did Anya not feel even the slightest shred of compassion when she returned home after being away for so long. At the moment, a flash of disgust and resentment could be seen at the bottom of her eyes. If it was not to discuss about her mother’s inheritance, she would never have step foot in this house.

They had schemed against her and had cost her purity and had nearly crossed Evan as well.

Not to mention that in the end, they exiled her from the family and had also single–handedly took every last bit of her mother’s inheritance. Her feelings for the family had been long dead since.

Anya withdrew her cold gaze and calmly exclaimed to the trio on the couch, “I’m here now. You guys wanted to talk about my mother, right? Speak then.”

“You’re even not going to greet your elders when you’re back? Oh wow, it seems that your true colors are exposed after you’ve been exiled, right?” The old lady scoffed in her heart as she was displeased with Anya.

It seemed that she knew how to behave submissively back then. However, after she had been exiled for nearly two years since, she had become a more capable person. She understood why Sydney complained about her flirting with plenty of different men in Welton Group. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

So, did she really think that she would no longer need to respect their MacMillan family after having the support of a man?

“Haven’t you guys already exiled me from the family?” Anya asked. Since she had already cut ties with them, why should she even greet them anyway?

The old lady raised her gaze and glared menacingly at Anya after hearing that. However, she scoffed after a brief moment before saying, “Well then, since that’s the case, why don’t you take a seat?”

“There’s no need for that. Hurry up and talk about my mother’s matters then. I don’t have much time to spare.” Anya exclaimed coldly.

It seemed that her statement had instantly angered the old lady as she scoffed coldly before gritting her teeth and saying. “Fine. Let’s cut to the chase then.” The old lady raised her voice and continued, “Now, do you see that picture on the table? That’s your future husband, Lance Xavier.”

Anya frowned hard immediately after hearing that statement as she glanced towards the picture on the table. She scoffed coldly and said, “Thanks for your kind intentions but it’s up to me to decided my own marriage. Furthermore, I’m no longer part of the family anyway, so you guys have absolutely no right to control me. Anyway, you guys are not here to discuss my mother’s matter with me tonight, right? Well then, I’m uninterested to stay any longer.”

Anya was about to leave after saying that. It seemed that she finally understood that the old lady truly resented her with a burning passion. Or else, she would never have arranged a man for her to get married to.

This was just like the incident with Zachary back then.

However, this time would be different. She would no longer do what they say.

“You want to leave? Oh, you can’t leave that easily.” It seemed that the old lady noticed how bold she had become and

immediately ordered both burly looking men that were waiting at a corner, “Why haven’t you guys captured her for me yet?”

The burly looking men immediately went to capture Anya the instant they heard the old lady’s orders.

When Anya noticed that the situation had turned awry, she immediately started running. She was calling out to Cindy that was parked near the entrance while she ran, “Save me, Cindy!”

However, she was immediately captured by the burly men after she was done calling for help. The burly men were each grabbing onto each of her shoulders before forcefully dragging her back into the living room.

When she was brought back to the living room, Melissa, along with the old lady got up and walked towards Anya. Although the old lady initially wanted to slap Anya, Melissa stopped her as she said, “Don’t hit her first, mom. The Xaviers might not want her if she’s disfigured.”

“Let’s just lock her in the basement for now.” Melissa replied in a sinister tone.

The old lady agreed with her as she nodded to have Anya locked in the mansion’s basement.

“Let go of me!” Anya began to struggle violently after hearing what they said. She knew those people would never have even a single shred of compassion towards her. That was because they had never

treated her as part of the family anyway.

She had made the right choice to have Cindy come along with her.

Even if they were to lock her up, Cindy would be aware of it. She would be able to save her.

“Hurry up and drag this wench away.” The old lady glared at her with a disgusted gaze as she spoke in a cold tone.

The burly men nodded and forcefully drag her away to the mansion’s basement,

“Hold on a second. Take the wench’s phone away to stop her from calling for help.” Melissa exclaimed as she suddenly realized something and immediately ran over to her. She then snatched Anya’s bag away before allowing them to drag her

down the basement.
